REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
The Town Forest of Norwell at the present time is not adequate. It consists of twenty-nine (29) acres split into three sections in various parts of the town, and in our opinion the acquisition of more land is imperative. Several hundred acres are needed for a town of our size, especially in view of the tremendous growth in population ahead.
The Committee solicits gifts of parcels from the citizens which could be used to amplify our present areas.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN, MOTH SUPERINTENDENT AND SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC GROUNDS
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
During the year of 1964, the tree department was engaged in the follow- ing activities:
1. The removal of dead and dangerous trees along our roadsides.
2. The planting of various species of shade and ornamental trees.
3. The removal of elm trees containing the Dutch elm fungus.
4. Brush removal to increase visibility while driving on our streets.
5. The furtilizing, repairing, and mowing of grounds maintained by the town.
6. The spraying of roadside trees to control certain insect pests and a program of poison ivy control.
It is also the policy of your tree warden to give advice on any tree prob- lem anywhere in Norwell.
There were sixty-four (64) trees of various species planted along our roadsides this year. I believe that this is one of the more important functions of the tree department. Trees planted now in proper locations and of proper species will benefit our town for many years to come.
There has been no major development in the control of Dutch elm disease, nor is any expected in the near future. It may be of interest to note that since 1950 there have been 450 actual cases of Dutch elm disease in roadside trees in Norwell. These trees have with rare exception been removed. However, there still remains a population of approximately 500 roadside elm trees.
There were no major outbreaks of shade tree pests this year in Norwell. Within fifty miles of Norwell there were major outbreaks of gypsy moths. This insect is the most serious of tree feeding pests.
Your moth superintendent believes in a spray program designed to combat certain insect species when it becomes necessary to protect our shade trees. The spray materials used in this work are ones that are least toxic to other wildlife species.
226
It is with deep regret that I report the passing away of Mr. Frederick Lee, who served the tree department for twelve years. Mr. Lee assisted in the planting of more than four hundred public shade trees along our roadsides. These trees are greatly appreciated now, and will continue to be appreciated for many years to come.
In closing, I wish to thank the other town departments all of which cooperated fully with the tree department.
Respectfully submitted,
WESLEY H. OSBORNE, JR, Tree Warden Moth Superintendent Superintendent of Public Grounds
REPORT OF THE VETERANS AGENT AND VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Many events of a significant nature have occurred during the past calendar year that greatly affected this department. Mr. Leonard Cox, former agent, tendered his letter of resignation on March 27, 1964 -- becoming effective May 1, 1964. Mr. Gilmartin, authorizer for the Norwell area from the Boston area, resigned and was succeeded by Mr. John Ryan.
In August of this year, the Boston United Community Services expressed their concern for, and interest in, our senior citizens who might be in dire need. Also, a letter was received from the Governor's office concerning distribution of food by the government to needy families. This matter was handled by the town's Welfare Department.
During the seven months this agent has been in office, there were three new additional cases in July, August, and November respectively. Five older cases were terminated and two cases denied for lack of eligibility. This agent has received notification of the deaths of four veterans during the seven month period. A dozen or more phone calls were received concerning requests for information about convalescent home placement, how to locate a hospital bed, and requests for benefits for hospitalized children of veterans. This agent also helped two widows to make out applications for widow's pensions. Also, with the help of town officials and town attorney, Mr. Sanborn Vincent, a lien settlement case of long standing was finally disposed of satisfactorily.
227
This office recently received notice from the state department of veterans services that in the coming year, 1965, there would be a 5% increase in veterans ordinary benefits budgets. In addition to this, they also announced an increase (amount not yet determined) in nursing and convalescent home care.
This agent wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Cox, to Mr. Harry Chase, to the Town Selectmen, town office personnel and to the veterans themselves for the cooperation and help these people have given him. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you continued prosperity in the coming year.
Very truly yours, LEONARD W. ROWE, JR. Veterans Agent and Veterans Service Officer

REPORT OF THE WASHINGTON STREET CEMETERY COMMITTEE
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The Washington Street Cemetery Committee reports that the mainten- ance of the cemetery continues to improve. Additional care of the property through the efforts of the committee and the cooperation of the Park Service are bringing us closer to our goal of a community memorial to our departed neighbors and friends.
In keeping with the respect in which we hold this place, we have in- stituted severe fines for those trespassing here. Parents are reminded that their young people have done considerable property damage, and it would help this committee if the families made it a personal responsibility to teach the young to honor this cemetery.
The majority of the lots now have a fund for permanent care and a similar fund is required when a newlotis purchased. These requirements are essential to the continuing care of the cemetery. Any person or persons desiring information or explanation concerning the operation of the cemetery and the regulations thereof, may make inquiry of any member of the committee. We welcome your questions or suggestions.
Respectfully submitted,
WILDER A. GAUDETTE, Chairman WILLIAM D. JACOBS JOHN R. REARDON
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
At the 1964 Town Meeting the Town voted $40,000.00 under Article 40 to install 7000 feet of water mains in Grove Street, this extension completes the loop between Norwell Center and Washington Street. This loop was started in 1961 and completed in four steps so as to keep the yearly water cost to a minimum.
232
At the 1964 Town Meeting no money was voted for the exploration of new wells but money was added to the Pumping Station and Mains Account enabling your commissioners to get a new well approved by the Department of Public Health, to purchase a new pump, build a new pump house, and tie in well #3 situated in the Grove Street area to our water system. Our new well, installed in August, 1964, has pumped to date 753,430 gallons into the Town system.
In our Service Account the Town voted $3500.00 for the installations of new services. To date 98 new services were installed. Revenue commited to the Town for Installation Fees was $5225.00. In this item fees collected were greater than the appropriation.
This year, due to the severe dry summer of 1964 and to the ever in- creasing use of water from year to year, the Water Board will ask for $5000.00 for exploration of new well fields.
In 1963 we had 996 customers and pumped 99,000,000 gallons of water; the revenue from the sale of water was $37,433.42.
In 1964 we have 1103 customers and have pumped 119,142,935 gallons of water; the revenue from the sale of water was $42,563.74. We had seven hydrants equipped with faucets for use of the people whose wells were dry this summer and many thousands of gallons of water was used to put out the many brush fires due to the dry summer.
We wish to invite any interested Townspeople to our weekly meetings. We thank any and all Town Boards and their personnel for their cooperation and interest in our department during the past year.
Very truly yours,
BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS AUGUSTIN J. THIBODEAU, Chairman JACOB LEE TURNER EDWARD F. WALSH
REPORT OF THE WILLIAM J. LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The year 1964 was again successful, with the circulation of books increasing to a total of 12,062.
233
Adult borrowing
1963 - 3,496
1964 - 4,235
Juvenile borrowing
1963 - 4,371
- 1964 - 7,827
These figures represent an increase of 4,195 books over the 1963 total, and are for books only, as we have no space to keep magazines.
In today's changing and challenging world, every community needs good public library service. Just as Norwell has outgrown its schools, so, now it has outgrown its libraries, and we sincerely hope that action will be taken upon this most important matter.
Libraries must house people as well as books. We have one small study table with inadequate lighting, and the students sit shoulder to shoulder, often sharing the same chair. The librarian is literally pushed against the wall.
There is need for a workroom where the staff can repair damaged books and catalogue new ones. This work is now being done at the librarian's home.
Good library service costs money. An important factor is the cost of a book collection. Important new books often cost $5.00 to $25.00. Gifts from individuals could help supplement our income. Our only other source of income is the Annabel Wakefield Memorial Fund of $100.00, which interest has to accumulate for many years before it can be used for a worthwhile purchase.
To provide students with books from their required reading list, it will become necessary to purchase more than one copy of a single book. If we could have better cooperation between the schools and the library, it would make it possible for us to better serve the reading and reference require- ments of the students.
We are indebted to the many friends of the library, who have donated so many books. The Leonard Library Building Fund has been established and checks or monies may be given to the Town Treasurer. A "Friends of the Library" group has been formed, and anyone interested in joining may contact the librarian or one of the trustees.
Again, as in the past, we wish to thank Combination 2 of the Fire Depart- ment and Gaudette's Service Station for their many favors.
This year 259 new cards were issued, giving us a total of 1,150 regis- tered borrowers. We are always ready to help anyone in need of reference material or a book for a relaxing hour. We cordially invite you to use the Leonard Memorial Library. The hours are as follows:
234
Monday & Wednesday - :2:30 - 4:30 P.M.
Tuesday & Thursday
- 7:00 - 9:30 P.M.
Saturday - 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.
If we receive an increase in our budget, additional hours will be on Friday, 7:00 - 9:30 P.M. and a half hour added to Monday and Wednesday.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
1964 was an extremely quiet year for the Zoning Board of Appeals, with only two public hearings held.
Although there were several other applications for variances, they were withdrawn before hearings were scheduled. These withdrawals were the result of informal conferences with the appellants, and a great deal of research and field work by members of the Board, that resolved the problems at hand. This also resulted in a saving of time and money.
The following are the hearings held and the results thereof:
1. Benjamin Bean - For permission to erect four dwellings on lots having insufficient area and frontage.
Petition was denied, but, permission was granted to divide the property in question into two lots that would have sufficient area and frontage.
2. Norwell Associates, Inc. - For permission to construct a boat landing and mooring facilities at Barque Hill on the North River.
Action on this petition was held in abeyance pending additional engineering to satisfy the requirements of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Respectfully submitted,
Zoning Board of Appeals
STANLEY H. RICHARDS, Chairman EARLE M. NEWTON, Secretary EDWIN R. TRAFTON
