The Commonwealth of Massachusetts In the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty
AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY OF PLYMOUTH TO REBUILD UNION BRIDGE OVER NORTH RIVER BETWEEN THE TOWNS OF MARSHFIELD AND NORWELL
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. The county commissioners of the county of Plymouth, subject to the provisions of chapter ninety-one of the General Laws, and of all other laws which may be applicable, are hereby authorized and directed on or before December thir- tieth, nineteen hundred and sixty-one to reconstruct Union Bridge, so called, over North river, between the towns of Marsh- field and Norwell. The bridge as reconstructed shall have suit- able permanent approaches, and the spans at either side of the draw shall be of permanent construction. The draw shall be twenty-five feet wide in the clear, and the lift shall provide a vertical clearance of not less than six feet above mean high water and shall be of such type and construction that it may be oper- ated in an expeditious manner. The whole work shall be done subject to the approval of the division of waterways of the de- partment of public works and in accordance with the plans on file in the office of said division.
SECTION 2. The expense incurred under this act shall not exceed the sum of three hundred and sixty thousand dollars, and said county commissioners are hereby authorized to borrow on the credit of the county, and to issue notes of the county therefor, such sums, not exceeding said amount as may from time to time be required for the cost and expense aforesaid. Such notes shall be payable by such annual payments beginning not more than one year after the date thereof, as will extinguish each loan within thirty years from its date. The amount of such annual payment in any year shall not be less than the amount of the principal of the loan payable in any subsequent year. Each authorized issue of bonds or notes shall constitute a separate loan. All amounts so borrowed shall be deposited in the county treas- ury, and the treasurer of the county shall pay out of the same such sums as are authorized by the county commissioners, and shall keep a separate and accurate account of all monies borrowed and expended under the provisions of this act, including interest.
110
SPECIAL LEGISLATION
SECTION 3. The county commissioners shall, upon com- pletion of the work, determine the total cost, file a detailed state- ment of the same in the office of the clerk of courts for the said county, and apportion the amount in the manner hereinafter pro- vided among the department of public works, the county of Plymouth, the town of Marshfield and the town of Norwell. Of the total cost so determined the said department of public works shall bear sixty-two per cent, the said county of Plymouth twenty-six per cent, the said town of Marshfield six per cent and the said town of Norwell six per cent.
SECTION 4. Each of said towns of Marshfield and Norwell acting through their respective boards of selectmen may, without further appropriation, expend from the amounts appropriated at prior annual town meetings for the reconstruction of the bridge hereinbefore described a sum not to exceed fifteen thousand dol- lars for the purposes of this act. The county commissioners shall as soon as may be after the completion of the work notify the selectmen of each of said towns of the amount of the cost appor- tioned thereto and each of said towns shall pay said amount into the treasury of the county within sixty days thereafter.
SECTION 4a. There is hereby appropriated the sum of two hundred and twenty-three thousand two hundred dollars from the Highway Fund, as the commonwealth's share of the cost of reconstruction of said Union Bridge, as provided in section three.
SECTION 5. The cost of maintenance and operation of the bridge shall be borne equally by the towns of Marshfield and Nor- well, and any sums appropriated for the maintenance and repair of highways may be expended for this purpose.
SECTION 6. The custody of said bridge shall vest in the selectmen of the towns of Marshfield and Norwell on the date the county commissioners give notice of the amounts apportioned for each of said towns to pay. Upon receipt of such notice the select- men shall forthwith place the draw of said bridge under the direc- tion of a suitable draw-tender, and the provisions of section twenty-seven of chapter eighty-five of the General Laws shall apply to the person so designated. Said selectmen may arrange with the department of public works for the operation of said bridge on such terms as may be agreed upon.
SECTION 6A. Sections one to six, inclusive and section eight of Chapter six hundred and fifty-eight of the acts of nine- teen hundred and fifty-six are hereby repealed.
SECTION 7. Any action heretofore taken under the provi- sions of chapter six hundred and fifty-eight of the acts of nineteen hundred and fifty-six, as amended, is hereby validated and con- firmed.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Report of the Board of Health
The work of the Board of Health continues to increase with each year and as usual the Town Dump is one the greatest prob- lems. Because so many of the townspeople disregard the few rules and regulations pertaining to the Dump, the Board feels it necessary to make the following recommendations:
1. The Dump will be open to the citizens only during certain set daylight hours and only on certain days.
2. During the hours that the Dump is open, there will be a paid employee on duty.
3. Any violations of the general rules, or the specific instructions of the attendant, will result in the revo- cation of the right to use the Dump for a period con- sistent with the offense.
This change of practice comes to the citizens as a recom- mendation, since the Town will have to appropriate the necessary funds.
Donna
We had another Hurricane this year. The Board distributed 7300 lbs. of dry ice, at cost, to the citizens of Norwell. The fol- lowing were of particular help to the Board in this connection: George A. Beach, Russell Scholes, Lloyd B. Henderson and Don- ald Wilder.
Clinics
The usual number of DPT and Polio Clinics were held.
Incinerator
A study is being made of the feasibility of a regional incin- erator. Toward this end, the Board has met with Officials of Norwell and neighboring towns.
Plumbing Code
In January, 1961, the Board will adopt Plumbing Rules and Regulations as formulated by the State Examiners of Plumbers.
Motor Vehicles
The most dangerous thing in Norwell continues to be the automobile. It has been estimated that 5,000 lives per year could be saved by safety belts. The Board strongly recommends the use of this safety device, especially to the parents of teenage drivers.

CIVIL DEFENSE
Report of the Civil Defense Agency
The hurricane of this fall again brought out the advisability of having a good "Warden" organization under Civil Defense in the Town. But, as has been stated in the past, it is getting more and more difficult to interest people in this work. Therefore it is my proposal as Director to enlarge the scope of the Auxiliary Police to include responsibility for the people in a given district in town. It will be their added burden - in addition to Police work - to be acquainted with the individuals or families in their district who have a particular problem which might be aggra- vated by a state of emergency in the Town or their neighbor- hood. Being trained in all phases of emergency work, the Aux- iliary Police are the obvious group in conjunction with the Police and Fire Departments to take on this added responsibility. The Selectmen, Police and Fire Chiefs, Board of Welfare and others will advise us of these people who may need added attention.
Local communications within the town for all departments is another problem receiving attention. The Fire and Police net- works cover many towns and can become very "jammed up" in widespread emergencies. We hope in the future to have our own Town net - but this would be an expensive program. So, with some surplus radio equipment - which would be approved by the FCC - it may be possible to make some headway on our own. At present writing no definite progress can be reported ex- cept that the Tree Warden and Highway Surveyor's new pick-up trucks are equipped to operate on the authorized Civil Defense net with equipment already at hand.
A Bloodmobile was again brought to Norwell on October 12th with, I am sorry to say, a very poor turnout. We cannot expect to have emergency blood supplies available at no cost for the families in Norwell unless we build up the Blood Bank.
The Emergency Communications Center is covered in an- other report.
The Norwell Civil Defense Agency continues, with limited means, to train and equip a unit which can be of assistance to the residents in all kinds of emergencies.
Respectfully submitted,
W. CLARKE ATWATER,
Director.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Report of Police Department
Board of Selectmen Town of Norwell
Dear Sirs:
Please accept this annual report of the Police Department as one of progress. We feel this has been made possible through the cooperation of the Board of Selectmen and the confidence of the townspeople.
With the completion of the Southeast Expressway to Hing- ham, our traffic problem became a major issue, almost overnight. Throughout the late spring and summer, our Civilian Defense Auxiliary Police volunteered to assist us. To them we extend our heartfelt thanks.
Unfortunately the heavy traffic was not confined to the State highway. The commuter traffic from our neighboring towns jumped proportionately. This flow jammed our narrow, winding back roads. September was rapidly approaching and the School busses would soon be operating in this confusion.
After several meetings between the Selectmen and Chief of Police, it was clear that action on more effective traffic control must be taken immediately. At the Special Town Meeting of October 10, 1960, it was voted to increase the police force from two to four permanent men and add a second cruiser. This would give the additional protection of twenty-four hour patrol. Pre- vious to this, a burglar alarm, prowler, accident, or ambulance call after 2:00 A.M. meant that a man had to get out of bed and get dressed, involving delay. With the new schedule, the cruiser would be dispatched immediately.
Of course, this 100% increase of manpower and cruisers is reflected in our budget for the coming year. To us who are charged with the protection of your life and property, this amount seems to be a bare minimum.
Thank you and all Town departments for the close coopera- tion and assistance.
The following is a partial list of our activities for 1960:

Report of William J. Leonard Memorial Library
To the Board of Selectmen:
The William J. Leonard Memorial Library has had an even busier year than ever.
The demand for reference books has almost doubled over last year. We have acquired many new reference books and shall add as many as possible in the coming year. An adequate space has been provided for work that must be done in the library. This has been a solution to the problem of preparing written reports.
We have a hard time in keeping up with our Primary Read- ers. We are doing our best to keep interesting books on hand for this very busy section.
We have a large majority of books that have been on the "Best Seller" list this past year. This has been a factor in our increased circulation in the adult section.
Young adults are keeping the library busy with ever-in- creased demands for more books, both for required and pleasure reading.
Borrowers will find the Librarians ready to help select read- ing material, both for pleasure and school work.
The Library is deeply appeciative of the help extended by Fire Department Comb. No. 2. Thanks also to those who have donated books.
In closing our report may we take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your help, cooperation and support of the Town's library needs.

JAMES LIBRARY
Report of James Library
To the Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
During the present year the Library has extended its services to meet varied and changing needs of this community. Increas- ingly it is serving as a center for reference and research. In a section of the Library for young people there has been set apart for easy consumption those books and research materials which are of greatest benefit. When our high school biology depart- ment arranged a field trip it was possible through cooperative effort with the school to provide readings, supplementing what the school had available, which helped the students to classify materials. Such activity requires adequate staffing and the heat- ing of the upstairs as a study area. Two experienced librarians, Mrs. John Reardon and Mrs. Edmund Anderson, have provided the necessary guidance for scholars in search of titles on special subjects. Collections in such specialized areas as genealogy and art have indicated the value of the Library's reference and re- search facilities to all ages, from older children to persons of adult and advanced years. Study of Library hours which may best serve these varied interests has led to changes and the com- mittee and staff is alert in its desire to accommodate the hours in the future to the majority interests of the community.
Particularly close to the reading tastes of the entire commu- nity have been the purchases from month to month of new books just published. Adult fiction and children's books by authors of established reputation have been especially popular and pur- chases number 25 to 30 each month. Many of these books are borrowed for home reading as are standard works from among the 13,000 volumes available. Standard works are also purchased regularly.
