SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TREASURER'S REPORT
In accordance with Section XII of the South Shore Regional School Dis- trict Agreement signed January 6, 1960, I submit herewith details of the 1964 financial transactions of the School District.
Details are presented with respect to the 1964 estimated expenditures, apportionment of estimated expenditures to member towns; actual cash receipts and disbursements; balance sheet and statement of outstanding debt as of December 31, 1964.
Total operating costs for the year were $276,642.07 which were paid by funds from the following sources.
Local Assessment Revenue
$227,899.40
Federal Grants:
George-Barden Funds $ 41,183.67
Smith-Hughes Funds 609.00
National Defense Education Fund 6,950.00 48,742.67
Total
$276,642.07
Capital Outlay costs for the year were $242,166.87 and involved final payment on the general contract for construction of the school, new equip- ment and bond principal and interest as detailed in the expenditures schedule.
Expenditures under the Manpower Development and Training Act P.L. 87-415 totalled $27,081.18, for actual expenditures of $17,381.82 and a refund of $9,699.36 to the State Department of Education closing out three projects two of which operated primarily in the year 1963 and one in the year 1964. The Federal Government paid the entire cost of these projects which were budgeted for $76,548.00, involved expenditures of $66,848.64 and a reimbursement of $9,699.36 as noted above. The School District bene- fited to the extent of $33,538.70 which was expended for new equipment under these programs which will remain in our shops for use by the School District.
Surplus Revenue was determined to be $108,618.81 as of December 31, 1964, and was derived from the following sources.
Balance January 1, 1964
$109,759.58
Additions:
Federal P.L. 87-415 refund for 1963 operating costs 591.73
Federal Grants used to pay 1964 operating costs 48,742.67
Unexpended appropriation for 1964 operating costs 4,918.93
Excess of 1964 District Receipts over estimates 4,198.90
Total
168,211.81
-----
74
Deductions:
1963 Surplus Revenue used to reduce 1964 operating costs $ 50,000.00
1964 transfer to Reserve for Bus Replacement 9,463.00
1964 transfer to increase Petty Cash advances 130.00
59,593.00
Balance December 31, 1964 $108,618.81
A $75,000.00 portion of the 1964 Surplus Revenue Balance of $108,618.81 has been approved by vote of the District Committee to be used to reduce the 1965 operating costs assessments to member towns, resulting in a remaining balance of $33,618.81 available to the School District as of January 1, 1965.
An amount of Surplus Revenue equivalent to three months expenditures is necessary in order that the School District can pay bills for school operations between January 1, and April 1, of each year, inasmuch as the annual assessment revenue received by the School District from member Towns is payable in quarterly installments on the first day of April, June, August and December of each year.
An alternate procedure to the establishment of a "working surplus" would be to reduce Surplus Revenue to a minimum amount and to borrow money on a short term basis whenever necessary. This would of course involve additional costs for loan registration fees and interest expenses.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. ASHTON, Treasurer

SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Norwell for the year ending October 31, 1964.
The Town of Norwell appropriated $4000 for mosquito control in 1964. Along with this $150 was appropriated for salt marsh maintenance. This money was used for mosquito control in the Town of Norwell by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Norwell, Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Scituate and Weymouth. The Project is a year round operation based on a three-phase plan in the reduction of mosquitoes, that is Permanent Control, Preventive Control and Adult Control.
The following was accomplished by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project last year in the Town of Norwell.
PERMANENT CONTROL
7950 feet of drainage ditch were reclaimed to reduce possible mosquito breeding areas.
PREVENTIVE CONTROL
425 acres of small isolated woodland swamps were prehatch treated with dust upon ice in winter months to prevent the development of the mosquito eggs. 1920 acres of larger swamp areas were treated in the spring of the year by air by Piper Cub for larval control of spring mosquitoes.
During the summer months many areas had to be checked and re- checked for possible mosquito breeding and if found sprayed. 462 gallons of insecticide were sprayed for larval and pupal control mixed for and applied at the rate of a gallon per acre.
83
Catch basins are a source of a great many mosquitoes. These have to be treated as often as three times a summer season, depending on a wet or dry season. 550 basins were treated in the Town. These are the basins treated, not the number of town basins.
ADULT CONTROL
Spraying for adult mosquitoes becomes necessary where complaints of large numbers of mosquitoes move into an area, usually migrating from uncontrolled areas or from the many small water containers that breed the Culex or house mosquitoes. 505 gallons of insecticide were space sprayed with hydraulic sprayer and mist blower mixed and applied at between one half and one gallon per acre.
When weather and other conditions were favorable an insecticidal thermal fogger was used. This usually in the evening hours. 81 gallons of insecticidal fog oil was applied at the rate of four and a half acres to the gallon.
The insecticides used by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project were:
DDT Wettable Powder
DDT Emulsifiable Concentrate Malathion Emulsifiable Concentrate Malathion Immiscible and oil (fog)
Naled DiBrom #14 (fog) Baytex (catchbasins)
All these insecticides are registered and labeled for use in mosquito control and are applied at no greater amounts than their labels recommend as being proper for mosquito control operations.
The main goal of this project shall always be to work toward eliminating as many of the mosquito breeding sites as possible through drainage or fill rather than a dependence on insecticides. To reduce the mosquito pest along with reducing amounts of chemical pesticides is what organized mosquito control means.
The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that the benefits derived by these departments as a result are as great as those derived by the Project.
