. a word about this annual report
For the second consecutive year the cover of the town's
annual report features a site in our town believed to have
historical significance of a major dimension. It will be recal-
led by many that the cover of the preceding report for the
year 1977 was a print of a wood block cutting of the Bangs
Ha/let House, home of the Historical Society of Old Yar-
mouth, located in Yarmouthport. It is hoped that the theme
of presenting through each succeeding year's annual report a
subject of historical significance in Yarmouth will continue
and thereby assure for each generation a connection with its
past heritage.
The Town of Yarmouth is fortunate, indeed, in having so
many citizens, past and present, who have given and con-
tinue to give so generously and unselfishly for the welfare of
our town. Their contributions take many forms from volun-
teer efforts that receive little recognition, to those citizens
who give of their time, knowledge, finances and personal
property.
One such life-long citizen of Yarmouth is Mr. A. Harold Castonguay, a retired attorney who, in addition to his benefaction
to our town, also served at various times as Town Moderator and Town Counsel. Mr. Castonguay who, with Mrs.
Castonguay, contributed to our town the West Yarmouth Library building, two harbormaster patrol boats, a scholarship
fund in the name of their deceased daughter, Ann Castonguay, and bird sculpture which is on continuous display at the South
Yarmouth Elementary School.
In 1960 Mr. Castonguay was the moving force behind the restoration of Baxter's Mill located alongside of State Route 28 in
West Yarmouth. In concert with a close friend, Mr. George Kelley, Mr. Castonguay and Mr. Kelley authentically restored the
abandoned mill which had operated for about two hundred consecutive years. What makes the restoration of Baxter's Mill
unique among restorations of this type is that Mr. Castonguay and Mr. Kelley did it all themselves—with their hands, backs,
minds, money, time and a profound love of the past. The complete story of the restoration of the mill is told in a booklet
written and copyrighted by Mr. Castonguay in 1962, copies of which may be obtained at the Yarmouth Town Hall.
Incidentally, the sketches used throughout this report are from Mr. Castonguay's booklet and are used with Mr. Caston-
guay's permission.
In the course of the restoration work the site was visited often by curious on -lookers and frequently Mr. Castonguay was
asked, "What are you doing this for?" Mr. Castonguay's answer to that question taken from his book appears to be as
appropriate today as it was when written almost twenty years ago. Mr. Castonguay said, "I think and I hope many people
are becoming more and more aware of the gradual loss and decay of our historical landmarks, and my thought is to preserve
the rich but dwindling heritage of our traditional land, not by or through the Federal Government or by the State Government,
but by all the people in local communities through our own Town Government."
It was a few days before -Christmas of 1961 when the turbine moved again in the mill to start in motion the gears and
mechanisms to drive the grinding stones that "lo and behold, yellow gold came flowing out of the chute."
Subsequently the mill became a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Castonguay to the Town of Yarmouth for all generations of the
future to visit, enjoy, preserve and cherish.
THANK YOU MR. AND MRS. CASTONGUAY.

Whence cometh the Annual Town Report?
For the Town of Yarmouth it was 139 years ago, at the annual town meeting on March 2, 1840, to be
exact, that it was duly voted to annually publish "an account of all charges & expenses of said town
the ensuing year." On the following pages, Yarmouth's first town report is presented through the
courtesy of the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth.
In preparing these comments an examination of records in the Town Clerk's office revealed that a
single ledger book eight inches by thirteen inches and one inch thick (about the same size but twice the
thickness of the report now in your hands as you read this) contained all the financial records of
receipts and expenditures for the town for the years 1831 thru 1855 (24 years). It was also revealed
that, on the average, cash receipts by the town approximated four to five thousand dollars annually
(mainly from taxes) with approximately three to four thousand dollars being expended each year
leaving a small balance of a few hundred dollars remaining in the town treasury from year to year
(probably kept in a locked desk drawer at the home of the then serving treasurer).
In 1840 the population of Yarmouth could be counted in the hundreds—and few at that. Today the
town's population is at 18,000 inhabitants year 'round and approximately 50,000 during the summer
months. As will be noted from the town report of 1840-1841, the entire expenditure of public monies
amounted to $3,177.72, more than 50% allocated to the support of the town's poor. In the forthcoming
Yarmouth fiscal year, July 1, 1979 -June 30, 1980, expenditures will approximate $12,000,000.00,
more than 50% for school support—note support of town schools in the year 1840 amounted to
$750.46. As a final item of striking contrast it appears from the document furnished by the Historical
Society that the cost of printing the first town report amounted to the grand sum of seventy five cents
($.75). The cost of printing the annual report presently in your hands and the town warrant to be
followed at the 1979 annual town meeting will exceed $12,000.00.
One message that can be drawn from the foregoing facts is that town government and its costs will
almost certainly continue to escalate in the years that lie ahead. So will the need for citizen
participation in and vigilance over their government operations increase in direct proportion.

The original of this "Expenses of the Town of Yarmouth," which is in the Archives
of the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth, was probably printed by W. S. Fisher, who is
shown as being paid $.75 "forblank town orders." In subsequent years he was paid varied
sums for "printing."
In 1839 Mr. William S. Fisher succeeded Nathaniel Stone Simpkins as publisher of
the Yarmouth Register. At that time, Charles F. Swift was an apprentice in the printing
plant. "Mr. Fisher, my employer, was a very kind, though not a very demonstrative man,
and I soon became attached to members of his family," Swift wrote in his undated auto-
biography.
In 1846 Swift joined Fisher as co-partner; be became sole owner and publisher in
1849. "The Register office was in the lower portion of the market building now owned
by R. E. Holmes, the upper part being used as a schoolroom," Swift wrote later in the same
autobiography. The 1858 map shows the office at the southeast corner of Hallet Street
and Summer Street (Hawes Lane).
"My work was pretty hard for a boy of my delicate organization," wrote Swift of his
life as a printer's devil. His grandson, the present Charles Francis Swift, has at the in-
delicate age of 66 been so generous as to reproduce this first Town Report in historically
compatible type: Bodoni and Caledonia, and has printed 300 copies on Strathmore Rising
Line Marque paper for distribution to members and friends of the Historical Society of
Old Yarmouth.
Mrs. Dorothy P. Wildey, Acting Town Clerk and Treasurer of the Town of Yarmouth,
has given generously of her time in researching records of the Town Clerk.

Report of the
BOARD OF
SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Yarmouth:
Once again your Board of Selectmen welcomes the
opportunity to report, along with the several depart-
ments and appointed committees and commissions,
some of the major activities the Board has been in-
volved with during the year 1978.
Last year's report referred to the year of 1977 as a
. . beginning of transition in both the government's
institutional and structural arrangement and adoption
of changes to improve ... service to the citizens." The
transition that began in 1976 and 1977 continued into
1978.
In all probability one of the most significant changes
to come about in 1978 was the substantial change that
saw the substitution of the traditional full time three-
man Board of Selectmen for a part time five member
board. And, as a companion action, the town engaged
its first professional administrator, Mr. Robert C. Law-
ton, Jr. currently serving as the Executive Secretary.
Shortly after Mr. Lawton's arrival which occurred in
March, Mr. Lawton was joined by Mr. Michael N.
Lichten, Assistant Executive Secretary. It might be said
that as Yarmouth moves to increase professional man-
agement in its day-to-day administration and finan-
cial affairs, the keystone upon which professionalism
in town government will be built will be the office of
the Executive Secretary and the Board of Selectmen.
Two years previously, in 1976, the town engaged
private auditors to provide an annual audit of the
financial management practices of the town. While it is
not easy to quantify the benefits derived from such;
annual audits, suffice it to state that such a practice is
entirely consistent with good business practices in any
institution whose annual financial statement reflects
figures approximating twenty-five million dollars. As
taxpayers we can all share a sense of well being to the
extent that our financial house is in good hands, and is
confirmed again by the 1978 audit, copy of which is
available in the Town Hall for your review.
Another significant accomplishment occurring in
1978 was the hiring of a Massachusetts certified De-
puty Assessor. There are many in our town government
who would be quick to agree that it is the assessor's
office where it all begins. Without accurate, timely
assessments there will be inordinate delays in mailing ,
10
out tax bills. And with late tax bills is the late receipt of
needed revenue with which to run the town — to pay
the salaries of the employees, to pay the creditors who
provided services and equipment and so on. Even more
important, however, is the burden placed upon the
taxpayers to borrow large sums of money in anticipa-
tion of tax revenue income. And borrowing means fora
town the same as it means for the private citizen —
payment of interest for the use of those borrowed
funds. Through the efforts of the new Deputy Assessor,
the employees in the assessor's office and the Town
Collector tax bills went out on time in Yarmouth for the
first time in many years. By so doing, the tax receipts
flowed in promptly thus allowing the treasurer to in-
vest the funds and earn thousands of dollars in interest
for the town rather than paying out money.
Also in 1978, the Board of Selectmen hired a new
Chief for our Fire Department, John H. Clemence. Chief
Clemence has been a firefighter since 1961, and was,
in the board's mind, the best qualified individual to be
Chief. Chief Clemence has been operating the depart-
ment in an efficient and capable manner since his
appointment, and we look forward to many years of
the same high quality service our Fire Deportment has
given the town.
In the years ahead great efficiencies and hopefully
economies will be realized and benefits accrue to the
citizens because of the introduction of computerized
functions which actively began in 1978. Savings of
funds now spent on rented computer services should
begin in 1979.
Under the direction of the Executive Secretary the
first steps have been taken to initiate centralized pur-
chasing of supplies and equipment procured by the
town. The cooperation of the various town departments
in this important function is gratifying, and great prom-
ise is held by the board that this activity will assure
savings to the taxpayers.
A word is in order at this time with regard to the
increased size of the Board of Selectmen. Almost from
the outset it became apparent that an infusion of new
ideas began to flow, dialogue on policy matters be-
came meaningful, and philosophic and partisan dif-
ferences seemed to be subordinated to what was a
shared feeling among the board members to act for the
common good of Yarmouth. The concept of a five
member board for Yarmouth is still new, and it has yet
to "earn its spurs", but there is confidence on the part of
many that with the passage of time, a willingness to
test the waters and the development of mutual trust
between and among board members, department
heads and the citizens at large the 'great experiment'
in Yarmouth will succeed.
The board wishes to take this opportunity to thank all
the town employees for their dedicated and devoted
service, and the board recognizes that there can be no
advancement and improvement in citizen services
without the dedicated efforts of the civil servant.
Finally, a special note of appreciation goes out to the
dozens of volunteer citizens who serve unpaid and
unheralded on the many boards, committees and
commissions. Their contribution is immeasurable, and
the costs of the services they provide, if purchased,
would amount to thousands of dollars. In this regard, a
Town Government Talent Bank was initiated in 1976
and the response from interested citizens has been
Report of the
EXECUTIVE
SECRETARY
The past nine months that I have been serving as
Executive Secretary to the Board of Selectmen have
been very rewarding in what we have been able to
accomplish and challenging in knowing what is left to
be completed.
Highlights of 1978
In October Mr. Michael N. Lichten was hired as the
Assistant Executive Secretary. Mr. Lichten holds a
Bachelors Degree in English and a Masters Degree in
Public Administration from the University of Colorado
plus five years experience at the University as the
Director of Energy Conservation. He has been very
instrumental in starting to reorganize our personnel
system and handle some of the normal operations of
the office. I expect that he will be of great assistance to
me and the whole town in the coming year.
We have recently purchased a new NCR computer
system for the town which will complete the billing and
receipting for water tax, real estate and personal prop-
erty taxes and will also produce our census and voter
lists. The computer will eventually be programmed to
handle some of the Town Accountant's functions and
produce more detailed reports to assist in administra-
tion of the town in a more efficient manner.

gratifying. However, new volunteers are always,
needed, and citizens are invited to refer to the Talent
Bank form that appears at the end of this report and to
consider offering their services to the town. Or come
into the Town Hall and complete one of the forms.

The fiscal year 1979 (July 78 -June 79) tax bills were
in the mail to taxpayers several months earlier than in
past years due to an excellent cooperative effort bet-
ween the Assessors office, Town Accountant, Treasurer
and Tax Collector. As a result of this cooperation, the
Treasurer has had more funds to invest and has pre-
vented the town from unnecessarily borrowing in an-
ticipation of taxes.
In the past few months, there has been a conscious
effort made to encourage better cooperation between
all departments in the town. Our focus has been to
emphasize communication of the needs of individual
departments to each other and offer our services to that
end. Although hard to quantify the benefits of such
cooperation it is apparent that as a result, better service
can be provided to the citizens of the town.
There are many tasks facing us in calendar 1979,
among the most important are: Working towards the
improvement of our personnel system through im-
proved record keeping and review of employee per-
formance. This will enable the employees to have a
better understanding of their jobs and therefore be
able to better serve the citizens in a more efficient and
productive manner.
In conclusion, I would like to thank each of the
Selectmen, Department heads and citizens of Yar-
mouth for making my first nine months as Executive
Secretary as rewarding and productive as they have
been. During 1979 I will attempt to give the Selectmen
and the town my best efforts so that we will continue to
provide increasingly better services in a more efficient
manner to the citizens of Yarmouth.

If Total of Column (b) is greater than total of Column (a), explain the difference, since written approval of the State Tax
Commission is required.
*Re: Line 17 Water Receipts: Due to change in Water billing which is now on computer, the annual Water excess charges were not
billed in 1977; therefore there were two excess billings in 1978. This accounts for the reduction in 1977 Calendar Year
actual Water receipts. In my opinion, it would be a reasonable assumption to request an additional $125,000.00 to be used
as an Estimated Receipt on your Schedule A Receipts for Fiscal 1979. (Please refer to Art. #45 of our 4/11/78 Town
Meeting -$623,963.88 voted to be used as an Estimated Receipt.)

Report of the
ASSESSORS
DEPARTMENT
TO THE CITIZENS OF YARMOUTH:
This year the Board of Selectmen implemented the
change voted in at the annual town meeting of 1977
by appointing June W. Vanelli as the first full time
Deputy Assessor.
The major goal was to send the tax bills out on time.
This was realized in early October with a favorable
impact of saving the town many thousands of dollars of
interest on not having to borrow money.
For the first time, computerized billing was put into
service with a concentrated effort on the part of the staff
to update the records.
The entire assessing staff deserves credit for their
combined effort in helping to produce early assess-
ments and for the major work involved toward com-
puterization.
Two professional designations were obtained as
"Massachusetts Accredited Assessors" by June W. Van-
elli and Louise B. Johnson. Mrs. Johnson and Sandra G.
Chausee received certificates for the course on "Tax
Administration and Law". Mrs. Vanelli also success-
fully passed the Certified Massachusetts Assessor's
examination.

Town Clerk
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens
of the Town of Yarmouth
We are proud to report that we have had a busy and
active year with satisfying fulfillments. The first job
was to oversee the mailing of the census forms. The
Dennis -Yarmouth Senior Citizens helped to stuff en-
velopes for the census mailing. They did an excellent
job, the mail was ready to go a week earlier than
expected. We would like to thank all the volunteers for
a job well done. We worked closely with the Town
Clerk's Office in checking the returned census. We are
pleased to report that about 90% of the citizens re-
turned their census. The fact that many corrections were
made on the census proved to us that the interest of the
people was much greater than we anticipated.
There were 4491 votes cast in our Annual Town
Election in April. The September State Primary didn't
show very much interest with only 3,505 votes cast. The
November State Election showed a lot more en-
thusiasm with 8,226 votes cast. We are looking for-
ward to the Annual Town Election of 1979, this is what
we call "the big year", almost all the elected depart-
ments are up for re-election.
We held a meeting with the election workers on the

procedures at the polls on election day. This proved to
be of great help to the workers; as our November
election was a good turn out, with a minimum of
problems. We are grateful to the School Department for
allowing us to use Mattacheese Middle School for our
Precinct 4 polling place. Parking is much more conve-
nient, and we needed a place larger than the a American
Legion.
We held several demonstrations on the voting
machine at the Dennis -Yarmouth Senior Citizens
Center, which resulted in the smooth way the
November election turned out.
Our count after we completed the Annual Census
count was as follows:
Prec. 1 879
Prec. 2 1508
Prec. 3 5295
Prec. 4 4078
We are looking forward to a
98% return on the
Annual Census for 1979. We know it will be a very
busy year for us. We are presently working on a full
schedule and the proposed Charter Commission will
entail extra effort to check out signatures and to han-
dle all the responsibilities connected with Nomination
Papers.

Report of the
TOWN CLERK including Births, Marriages and Deaths
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth
The Town Clerk's Department had a very active year
— April Town Election, September State Primary and
November Election.
The first big project was to engage a computer con-
cern to process our resident I ist•so that we could mail the
census forms out. This is the second year in which the
Town of Yarmouth has done the annual census by mail.
It has proved to be very profitable. The cost is much less
than the door to door census and is a more correct and
legible record. Great response was made, with about
90 percent of the census forms returned.
From census time we swing into April Town Election,
town meeting, dog license time, and renewal of Bass
River Golf Course Memberships, which number about
1,000.
In our April election there were 4,491 votes cast;
September primary 3,505 votes case; and November
State election 8,226 votes were cast. There were 319
absentee ballots cast in the November election which
meant triple work for the Town Clerk's Department.
The Town Clerk's Department sold 1,807 dog
licenses; 754 sporting and fishing licenses; recorded
128 births; 288 deaths; and 204 marriages. There are
numerous other duties which we perform which makes
us a very involved and busy department.
The Treasurer's Department processed approxi-
mately 26,000 vender and payroll checks amounting
to $26,000,000.00. I also received and took charge of
$28,000,000.00 investing for the best interest of the
Town when possible.
We finished our second complete ,and successful
C.P.A. Audit.
We started a cash flow study relative to the past two
years, which will prove to be of benefit to the Town
when and if, the tax bills are processed and mailed out
on time.
I bid with three local banks to have checking ac-
counts tied to savings, and payroll processed by compu-
ter, to start July 1, 1978. The winning bid saved
$300.00 on payroll account alone. The fact that our
monies are making interest until checks are drawn
should increase our earnings greatly.
58
We were very busy gathering information for bond
council for bond sale held November 15, 1978, and
received six bids from 5.30 to 5.70. The bond was of
multiple purpose in the amount of $1,300,000.00 for
15 years. We are very proud of the bid as the market
was about 5.65 just a few days before our sale.
Next year if the tax bills are sent out on time, hope-
fully we will not have to borrow in anticipation of
taxes, which means that our tax dollars will be working
to earn us interest which could eventually affect our tax
rate.

cial permits upon which the Board is empowered to act
under this by-law, in accordance with Section 1420.
1322. To hear and decide appeals or petitions
for variance from the terms of this by-law, including
variances for use, with respect to particular land or
structures. Such variance shall be granted only in cases
where the Board of Appeals finds all of the following:
(a) A literal enforcement of the provisions of this
by-law would involve a substantial hardship, financial
or otherwise, to the petitioner or appellant.
(b) The hardship is owing to circumstances relat-
ing to the soil conditions, shape or topography of such

structures, but not affecting generally the zoning dis-
trict in which it is located.
(c) Desirable relief may be granted without

quirements, as authorized by G.L. c.40B, §§ 20 through
23, as amended.
1325. To issue withheld building permits. Build-
ing permits withheld by the Building Inspector acting
under G.L. c.41, § 81Y, as amended, as a means of
enforcing the Subdivision Control Law may be issued
by the Board of Appeals where the Board finds practi-
cal difficulty or unnecessary hardship and if the cir-
cumstances of the case do not require that the building
be related to a way shown on the subdivision plan in
question.
1330. Public Hearings. The Board of Appeals
shall hold public hearings in accordance with the pro-
visions of G.L. c.40A, 40B and 41, as amended, on all

or changed in use without certification by the Building
Inspector that such action is in compliance with then

whether all necessary permits have been received from
those governmental agencies from which approval is
required by federal, state or local law. Issuance of a
building permit or certificate of use and occupancy,
where required under the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts State Building Code, may serve as such
certification.
1412. Site improvements. Where more than one
(1) principal structure is erected on a lot, no occupancy
permit for full or partial occupancy of the site shall be
issued until parking, access, drainage and utilities
serving the structure to be occupied have been com-

partment or a bond for their completion has been

1421. Special permit granting authority. Unless
specifically designated otherwise, the Board of Appe-
als shall act as the special permit granting authority.

and that there will be no substantial harm to the estab-
I ished or future character of the neighborhood or town.
1423. Public hearing. Special permits shall only
be issued following public hearings held within a
sixty-five (65) days after filing with the special permit
granting authority an application, a copy of which
shall forthwith be given to the Town Clerk by the

1424. Conditions. Special permits may be
granted with such reasonable conditions, regulations
or limitations as the special permit granting authority
may deem necessary to serve the purpose of this by-
law.
1425. Expiration. Special permits shall lapse if a
substantial use thereof or construction has not begun,
except for good cause, within twenty-four (24) months
of special permit approval (exclusive of time required
to pursue or await the determination of an appeal
referred to in G.L. c. 40A 17, as amended, from the
grant thereof).
1430. Site plan review.
1431. When required.

subject to site plan review:
(1) Open space village developments.
(2) Mobile home parks.
(3) Motels and guesthouses.
(4) All other nonresidential uses requiring ten

(b) In addition, the Building Inspector may re-
quire a site plan review if he deems it necessary in
order to determine zoning compliance.
1432. Plans. Plans subject to site plan review

storm drainage; and separate plans shall also show
ground floor plans and architectural elevations of all
proposed buildings and signs, to be prepared (except

registered architect or engineer if such buildings con-
tain thirty-five thousand (35,000) cubic feet of space or
more.
1433. Procedure. Forthwith upon their receipt, a
copy of the above plans shall be forwarded by the
Building Inspector to the Town Engineering Depart-
ment for its review and report. No building permit shall
be issued without site plan review by the Town En-
gineering Department unless twenty-five (25) days
lapse from the date of referral without receipt of notice
of the Town Engineering Department's action.
1434. Criteria for review. The Town Engineering
Department shall review a site plan to determine
whether or not the requirements of the zoning by-law
are satisfied.
175-1500. Applicability.
1510. Other regulations. This by-law shall not
interfere with or annul any by-law, rule, regulation or
permit, provided that unless specifically expected,
where this by-law is more stringent, it shall control.
1520. Conformance. Construction or operations
under a building or special permit shall conform to any
subsequent amendment of this by-law unless the use
of construction is commenced within a period of six (6)
months after the issuance of the permit and, in cases
involving construction, unless such construction is con-
tinued through to completion as continuously and ex-
peditiously as is reasonable.
1530. Nonconformancy. The lawful use of any
structure or land existing at the time of enactment or
subsequent amendment of this by-law may be con-
tinued, although such structure or use does not conform
75
with provisions of the by-law, subject to the following
conditions and exceptions:
1531. Abandonment. A nonconforming use
which has been abandoned or discontinued for a
period of two (2) years or more shall not be reestab-
lished, and any future use shall conform with the by-
law.
1532. Change, extension or alteration. As pro-
vided in G.L. c. 40A, 6, as amended, a nonconforming
single—or two-family dwelling may be altered or ex-
tended, provided that the Building Inspector deter-
mines that doing so does not increase the nonconform-
ing nature of said structure. Other preexisting noncon-
forming structures or uses may be extended, altered or
changes in use on special permit from the Board of
Appeals if the Board of Appeals finds that such exten-
sion, alteration or change will not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the exist-
ing nonconforming use. Once changed toa conforming
use, no structure or land shall be permitted to revert to a
nonconforming use.
1533. Restoration. Necessary repairs and re-
building after damage by fire, storm or similar disaster
are hereby permitted, provided that they are ac-
complished without undue delay and do not substan-
tially change the character or size of the buildings, nor
the use to which they were put prior to such damage.
1534. Isolated lots and subdivisions. Under G.L.
c. 40A, 6, as amended, lots not held in common owner-
ship with any adjoining land are generally not subject
to subsequent amendments in dimensional require-
ments, and land shown on subdivisions or other plans
endorsed by the Planning Board are exempted from
subsequent zoning amendments in certain respects for
a limited period of time. (See G.L. c. 40A, 6, as
amended.)
1535. Dimensional exemptions. One (1) single-
family dwelling may be erected on any legally created
lot shown on a recorded plan, as long as all zoning
requirements applicable to the lot at the time it was
recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds or
Land Registration Office are compiled with, including
area, frontage and yard requirements, and as long as
all current zoning requirements other than intensity of
use regulations are met. In a Highway Commercial
District, a lot or parcel of land having an area of a
frontage of lesser amounts than required in this by-law
may be considered as coming within the area and
frontage requirements of this by-law, provided that
such lot or parcel of land was shown on a plan or
described in a deed duly recorded with the Barnstable
County Registry of Deeds or Land Registration Office at
the time of the adoption of this by-law and did not at
the time of such adoption adjoin other land of the same
owner available for use in connection with such lot or
parcel. If there is a contiguous open lot (or lots) under
the same ownership bounded in a deed or shown on a
plan duly recorded with the Barnstable Country Regis-
try of Deeds, or Land Registration Office prior to the
adoption of this by-law, and not to be used for residen-
tial purposes, the Board of Appeals (after due notice
and public hearing) shall require that such lots be
merged, so as to provide the maximum possible area
up to eight thousand five hundred (8,500) square feet
per new lot thus created, except that if the total com-
bined area of such contiguous open lots under one (1)
ownership is not more than eight thousand five
hundred (8,500) square feet the Board of Appeals may
permit the creation of, and issuance of building permits
for, a total number lots less than eight thousand five
hundred (8,500) square feet equal to the number of
eight -thousand -five -hundred -square -foot lots, plus
one (1), that could be laid out within the entire tract
under one (1) ownership. As used in this section, the
word "contiguous" shall be interpreted to mean having
a common boundary equal in length to at least one-
half (1) the total length of the longer boundary adjoin-
ing.
175-1600. Validity.
The invalidity of any section or provisions of this
by-law shall not invalidate any other section or provi-
sions hereof.
175-1700. Amendment.
This by-law may be amended in accordance with the
procedure described in G.L. c 40A, 5, as amended.

ARTICLE III
GENERAL REGULATIONS
175-3100. Parking and loading requirements.
3110. Intent and application of parking re-
quirements.
31 1 1. It is the intent of this section that adequate
off-street parking must be provided within a reasona-
ble distance to service all parking demand created by
new construction, whether through new structures or
through additions to existing ones or through change of
use creating higher parking demand.
3112. Buildings, structures and land uses inexis-
tence on the effective date of these provisions are not
subject to these off-street parking requirements and
may be rebuilt, altered or repaired, but not enlarged or
changed in use, without becoming subject to these
requirements.
3113. In applying for buildings or occupancy
permits, the applicant must demonstrate that the
minimum parking requirements set forth below will be
met for the new demand, without counting existing
parking necessary for existing uses to meet these re-
quirements.
3114. The minimums of Section 3120 may be
reduced on special permit from the Board of Appeals,
upon the Board's determination that special cir-
cumstances render a lesser provision adequate for all
parking needs. Examples of special circumstances in-
clude:
(a) Use of a common parking lot for diffe-
rent uses having peak demands occurring at different
times.
(b) Age or other characteristics of occupants
which reduce their auto usage.
(c) Pecularities of use which render usual
measurements of demand invalid.
3120. Schedule of Off -Street Parking Require-
ments.

3130. Parking area design and location.
3131. Off-street parking spaces, each not less
than ten by twenty (l 0 x 20) feet per vehicle, excluding
the portion of the driveway to each such space, shall be
provided on the same lot. However, driveway area
outside of a street right-of-way may be counted for
off-street parking when serving a single-family dwel-
ling. In the Highway Commercial and Industrial Dis-
tricts, parking spaces may be located on another lot
within a radius of two hundred (200) feet and in the
same zoning district.
3132. All required parking areas except those
serving single-family residences shall be paved, un-
less, exempted on special permit from the Board of
Appeals for cases such as seasonal or periodic use
where a proposed alternative surface will prevent dust,
erosion or unsightly conditions. Drainage facilities for
each parking area shall be designed and constructed to
contain stormwater runoff on the premises.
3133. Parking areas for five (5) or more cars shall
be designed with enough maneuvering space so that
vehicles need not back onto a public way, the areas
designated in Subsection 3136 and other parking
spaces.
3134. Center lines of driveways serving twenty
(20) or more parking spaces, if egressing onto a state -
numbered or state -maintained highway or onto a
street improved under the Chapter 90 program, shall
observe minimum separations as follows, unless pre-
cluded by lot configuration in existence on the date of
adoption of this by-law:
From other such driveways:
(1) Same side of road: five hundred (500) feet.
(2) Opposite side of road: zero (0) or two
hundred fifty (250) feet.
(b) From intersecting street side line: two
hundred fifty (250) feet.
No existing parcel shall be subdivided into lots with
frontage which would preclude meeting these re-
quirements unless access rights-of-way are provided
across adjoining lots. Driveways subject to this section
shall have four hundred (400) feet visibility in each
travel direction and shall each comprise not more than
two (2) travel lanes, each not more than twelve (12)
feet in width at the lot line.
3135. Parking areas for five (5)or more cars shall
be separated from any street line by an area twenty
(20) feet wide and from any other property line by an
area ten (10) feet wide free of any paving except for
entrance and exit driveways and maintained with
vegetation or other organic material.
3136. Parking lots for five (5) or more cars shall
be screened from any abutting residential use or dis-
trict which is abutted or separated from it by only a
street. Screening shall be by a four -foot wide planting
strip maintained with densely planted shrubs not less
than five (5) feet in height, or by grading. Fences or
walls may be a part of such screening where deemed
necessary, but shall not be suitable as a substitute
therefor or themselves be left unscreened from abut-
ting areas.
3137. Parking lots for twenty (20) or more cars
shall contain at least one (1) tree of two-inch caliber or
larger per eight (8) cars, to be located within the park-
ing area in soil plots allowing not less than forty (40)
square feet of unpaved soil area per tree, or to be
located within five (5) feet of the parking lot.
3138. No parking shall be illuminated in such a
way that it causes glare for motorists, pedestrians or
neighboring premises.
3140. Loading requirements.
3141. Loading zone criteria. Adequate off-street
loading facilities and space must be provided to service
all regular needs created by new construction, whether
through new structures or additions to old ones, and by
change of use of existing structures. Facilities shall be
so sized and arranged that no vehicles need regularly
back onto a public way or be parked on public way
while loading, unloading, or waiting to do so.
3142. Application requirements. Prior to is-
suance of a permit for construction of a new structure,
addition to alteration of an existing structure, or
change of use, the Building Inspector may require that
the applicant submit information concerning the ade-
quancy of existing or proposed loading facilities on the
parcel. Such information may include a plan of the
loading area showing its size and its relationship to
buildings, parking areas and public ways, documenta-
tion of the types of goods and or persons being loaded
and unloaded from vehicles, the expected types of
vehicles to be serviced at the loading area, and the
expected normal hours of operation. The Building In-
spector shall use information to determine whether or
not the criteria of Subsection 3141 above are met. In
making such determination the Building Inspector
shall seek the advice of the Planning Board and the
Town Engineering Department.
175-3200. Filling.
No person shall fill any area in the Town of Yar-
mouth with earth, concrete or other material to a depth
in excess of five (5) feet without a permit from the
Building Inspector. Said Inspector may require an
applicant for such permit to furnish such plans or
specifications as he may deem necessary and any
permit issued hereunder may contain such provisions,
conditions or limitations as he may deem necessary to
prevent dust, erosion, silting or other instability, and
stormwater diversion onto adjoining properties.
175-3300. Signs.
3310. Residential District.
3311. No sign shall be of the neon type or gas -
illuminated -tube type.
82

after such activities cease.
3320. Business District.
3321. Size and number.
(a) There shall be but one (1) double-faced
sign not over twelve (12) square feet within fifteen (15)

road boundary, it may contain not over twenty-one (21)
square feet in area with the upper and lower edges to
be determined by the contour of the ground and with
the approval of the Building Inspector.
(b) Single -faced signs parallel to the high-
way and not in contact with a building will be allowed
thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and one third
percent) over the previous limits. The height and loca-
tion of all signs shall be approved by the Building
Inspector.
(c) Signs on buildings may be of the same
size as permitted single -faced signs, but with the ex-
ception of cutout letters, they may not be painted or
posted on the surface of any building without an in-
termediary removal surface.
(d) Signs on buildings may be of a size in
proportion to the size of the buildings so that they will
be in keeping with said building from an architectural
standpoint with no definite size restrictions, but to be
approved by the Building Inspector and subject to re-
view of the Appeal Board.
(e) Cutout letters may be kept within sizes
proportional to the area on which used.
(f) There shall be no more than one (1) ac-
cessory sign, and this shall not exceed three (3) square
feet in area.
(g) Gasoline stations and garages will be
allowed the standard permanent oil company sign in
addition to name sign, plus the customary lubrication,
washing and service signs displayed in the positions to
which they apply and one (1) A -frame or easel -type
sign, and so-called special signs will be permitted on
sides or heads of gasoline pumps only. Promotional
signs and materials, with the exception of banners and
whirligigs, supplied by gasoline or tire companies to
promote a new product or sales, may be displayed for a
period of thirty (30) days upon notice to the Building
Inspector.
83
3322. Content and design.
(a) Supporting posts, pillars or arms of other
than accepted sizes or design shall require the ap-
proval of the Building Inspector. All signs on the pre-
mises shall be kept in good condition properly painted
and presenting a good appearance in keeping with the
area where located.
(b) Illuminated signs shall not have any
glare distracting to drivers nor shall there be any ex-
posed neon or gas -tube -filled signs or illumination in
colors that will conflict with the ability to readily see
traffic lights or cause any hazardous condition there-
from.
(c) Major attractions and unusual estab-
lishments shall be given consideration as to sign de-
sign and sizes with the joint consideration of the owner
and -or architect involved, the Selectmen and Building
Inspector. The plans for all buildings are to include
location and sizes of all signs and to be considered
before the permit is issued.
(d) No signs advertising off -the -premises
products, services, entertainment or anything detract-
ing from the appearance of the neighborhood shall be
painted or affixed to a rock or tree.
(e) National emblems. There shall be no

ches and not more than six hundred (600) square in-
ches for any one (1) such emblem.
(f) No sign or other advertising device shall
be permitted within the town limits that, in the opinion
of the Selectmen and -or the Building Inspector, having
regard for the health and safety of the public, the
danger of fire or in consideration of the general atmos-
phere of the area, would be considered detracting or a
hazard.
(g) Signs on town ways erected as a public
convenience will be limited to so-called community
displays and shall require a permit to be issued by the
Building Inspector. These will be limited to a standard
size and lettering and will be maintained by a person
or persons designated by the Board of Selectmen.
3330. Highway Commercial District. Signs al-
lowed in this district are the same as those allowed in a
Business District.
175-3400. Design standards.
3410. The design of projects requiring submis-
sion of a site plan, pursuant to section 1430, shall
comply with the following:
3411. Internal circulation and egress are such
that traffic safety is protected and access via minor
streets servicing single-family homes is minimized.

intervening streets, eight (8) acres of which shall be
absolutely contiguous. All land need not be in one (1)
ownership. If the plan involves more than one (1)
ownership, each owner of land included in the plan
shall be a party to the application and, upon plan
approval, subject to its provisions.
4233. Overall development plan. The overall
development plan shall indicate location and bound-
aries of the site, proposed land and building uses,
location of common open space, existing topography,
grading plan, location and width of streets and ways,
parking, areas of proposed and retained vegetation,
distinctions between upland and wetland, drainage,
sewage and height, bulk, use and proposed location of
structures. The plan shall have been prepared by a
registered landscape architect, architect, civil engineer
or land surveyor.
4234. Other materials. The application mate-
rials shall indicate each landowner's interest in the
land to be developed, the form of organization _prop-
osed to own and maintain the common open space, the
substance of covenants and grants of easements to be
imposed upon the use of land and structures and a
development schedule.
4235. Review and decision. Forthwith upon their
receipt of the application and required plans, the Board
of Appeals shall transmit two (2) copies of all submitted
materials to the Planning Board, and one (1) copy each
to the. Board of Health, Conservation Commission and
Fire Chief. Within thirty-five (35) days of receipt of the
application by the Planning Board, Board of Health,
Conservation Commission and Fire Chief, reports shall
be submitted to the Board of Appeals, which shall
make no decision upon the application until receipt of
all such reports or until the expiration of thirty-five (35)
days following receipt of the application by the above
agencies.
4236. Criteria. Approval of an open space vil-
lage development shall be granted upon a determina-
tion by the Board of Appeals that the plan complies
with the requirements of Section 4240 and that the
plan is superior to a conventional one in preserving
open space for conservation and recreation; in utilizing
natural features of the land; and in allowing more
efficient provision of streets, utilities and other public
services; and at least equal to a conventional plan in
other respects.
4240. Requirements. An open space village de-
velopment must conform to the following:
4241. Number of dwelling units.
(a) The basic maximum number of dwel-
ling units allowed in an open space village develop-
ment shall equal the applicable land area divided by
the minimum lot area requirements specified in 175-
2500 for a single-family dwelling in that district. The
Board of Appeals may, under the provisions of Subsec-
tion 4242, issue a special permit to authorize an in-
crease in the basic maximum number of dwelling un-
its.
(b) Applicable land area equals the total
area encompassed by the overall development plan
minus land designated on the plan for uses not primar-
ily servicing residents of the development and minus
land prohibited from development by local by-law or
regulation. Further land subject to the Wetlands Protec-
tion Act (G.L.c. 131, Sec. 40, as amended) or the Wet-
land Restriction Acts (G.L.c.131 Sec. 40A, as amended,
and G.L.c. 130, Sec. 105, as amended) may be in-
cluded in the applicable land area only to the extent
that it constitutes not more than ten percent (10 percent)
of the resultant total applicable land area. For exam-
ple, of the total area encompassed by the overall de-
velopment plan equals twenty-four (24) acres and the
land subject to the Wetlands Protection Act and Wet-
lands Restriction Act within the overall development
plan equals ten (10) acres, multiply the fourteen (14)
acres by eleven and eleven -hundredths percent (1 1.1 1
percent), which is one and fifty-six hundredths (1.56)
acres. To determine the applicable land area, add
fourteen (14) acres and one and fifty-six hundredths
(1.56) acres for a total of fifteen and fifty-six hun-
dredths (15.56) acres. Ten percent (10 percent) of the
applicable land area fifteen and fifty-six hundredths
(15.56) acres one and fifty-six hundredths (1.56) acres.
(c) Where the development includes more
than one (1) ownersh ip and -or lies in more than one (1)
zoning district, the number of units allowed shall be
calculated as above for each zoning district and sum-
med to give an overall allowable total, which may be
located on the plan without respect to all allowable
subtotals by district or ownership areas.
85
4242. Incentive bonus. In conjunction with an
application for a special permit to allow an open space
village development, the Board of Appeals may, if the
required open space exceeds the open space required
by Sub -Section 4247, allow by special permit use of the
following incentive factors to allow an increase in the
maximum number of dwelling units. The allowable
total number of dwelling units shall be determined by
multiplying the basic maximum number of dwelling
units (Subsection 4241) by the following incentive fac-
tors, then rounding to the nearest whole number:
Applicable Land Area
Less than 20 acres
20 - 50 acres
50 - 75 acres
75 plus acres
Incentive Factor
1.00 plus M -T
1.1 plus (.9xM-T)
1.2 plus (.8xM-T)
1.3 plus (.7xM-T)
Where "M" is the number of dwelling units proposed to
be in multifamily structures and "T" is the total number
of dwelling units proposed. In no case shall the allow-
able total number of dwelling units exceed twice the
basic maximum number of dwelling units. In certain
cases, the feasible number of dwelling units will be
less than the number determined under this subsection
because of the requirements of Subsections 4244 and
4247.
4243. Allowable uses. Uses allowed by any loca-
tion shall be only those allowed in the district in which
the location lies, except that multi -family dwellings
may be located in any Business, Highway, Commercial
or Residential District (except within the Yarmouth His-
toric District), provided that the provisions of Subsection
4245 below are complied with.
4244. Dimensional regulations. Lot size, lot
width, setback, coverage, yard and height regulation
applicable to individual lots shall be the following:
Minimum lot size 10,000 sq. ft.'
Minimum lot width
qt proposed building line 100 feet
Minimum front yard 30 feet2
Minimum side and rear yard 12 feet3
Maximum lot coverage 25 percent
Maximum Height: floors 21/2 stories
feet 35
4245. Multifamily dwellings. Multifamily dwel-
lings shall be allowed only if the Board of Appeals
determines that all of the following will be complied
with:
(a) There shall be minimal disruption of the
function of established neighborhoods, evidenced' by
not more than thirty (30) single-family dwelling struc-
tures existing at the time of application being within
five hundred (500) feet of any proposed multifamily or
attached single-family structure.
1. There shall be not less than eight thousand
(8,000) square feet of applicable land area per dwel-
ling unit for multifamily units.
2. Where private drivers serve in lieu of
streets, as with condominium development, yards shall
be measured from a line twenty (20) feet from the
center line of the travelled way.
3. Except not less than the requirements for
side and rear yards in sec. 175-2500 for yards in the
development abutting the boundary of the over-all
development plan. No multifamily or attached single-
family structure shall be located nearer to the overall
development plan boundary than fifty (50) feet or
twice the building height, whichever is greater.
(b) There shall be adequate access to one of
the following streets, without requiring use of any
streets extensively used for single-family homes: Route
6, Route 6A, Route 28, Buck Island Road, Camp Street,
Forest Road, Higgins Crowell Road, Highbank Road,
Main Street, Old Town House Road, Seaview Avenue,
South Sea Avenue, South Shore Drive, South Street,
Station Avenue, Union Street, West Yarmouth Road,
Whites Path and Winslow Gray Road. In addition, there
shall be adequate access to the site for fire and service
equipment. An emergency access road or lane both in
front of and behind multifamily dwellings shall be
provided to allow fire apparatus within fifty (50) feet of
any part of a multifamily dwelling structure. This ac-
cess shall be maintained in a passable condition in all
seasons, unobstructed, and must be capable of sup-
porting a vehicle weighing no less than fifteen (15)
tons, regardless of seasonal ground conditions. The
minimus centerline radii and width of these
emergency access lanes shall be as defined in the
adopted Planning Board Subdivision Rules and Regu-
lations (as effective January 1, 1974) for lanes.
(c) There shall be adequate utility service,
evidenced by availability of public water supply,
adequate drainage and adequate sewage disposal. In
the case of on site sewage disposal, the following is
required:
(1) Location of on-site sewage disposal unit
shall have slight or moderate soil limitations for on-site
disposal of sewage effluent, based on the 1973 Soil
Conservation Service Soil Survey for the Town of Yar-
mouth.
86
(2) Septic tank leaching fields or other on-site
sewage effluent discharge facilities shall be located
not less than two hundred fifty (250) feet from any
pond over five (5) acres, river, stream, ocean, swamp or
marsh. The Board of Appeals may reduce this setback
requirement to not less than one hundred (100) feet
upon demonstration by the applicant that the site plan
is thereby enhanced and also that existing soil charac-
teristics are such that no groundwater or surface water
pollution will result.
(d) There shall be avoidance of ecological
disturbance by minimizing the following: topographic
change; removal of existing trees and vegetation; and
visually disruptive building location. Multifamily struc-
tures shall be located not less than two hundred fifty
(250) feet from any pond over five (5) acres, river,
stream, ocean, swamp or marsh. The Board of Appeals
may reduce this requirement to not less than one
hundred (100) feet upon demonstration by the applic-
ant that the site plan could thereby be enhanced and
also the topography, vegetation and soil characteristics
of the site and the proposed drainage patterns are such
that siltation, erosion, surface water contamination or
other environmental degradation will not be substan-
tially increased due to a reduced setback from water
bodies.
(e) There shall be preservation of neighbor-
hood amenity by the following:
(1) The site design shall screen parking areas
and preserve existing water views from public ways
and provide effective use of topography, landscaping
and building placement to maintain the character of
the neighborhood.
(2) There shall be glare -free illumination of
parking areas.
(3) No multifamily structure shall contain
more than twenty-four (24) dwelling units.
4246. Improvements.
(a) Access, drainage, utilities and grading
shall meet functional standards equivalent to those
established in the adopted Planning Board Subdivision
Rules and Regulations.
(b) Prior to issuance of building permits
within an open space village development, the Town
Engineering Department shall certify to the Building
Inspector that a detailed site plan has been submitted
in accordance with Section 1430 and meets the re-
quirements of said section.
(c) Occupancy permits for any structure
shall be granted only in accordance with the require-
ments of Subsection 1413.
4247. Open Space. All land not designated for
roads, lots for dwellings or other development within
the open space village development shall be held for
common open space. Common open space shall be
preserved for recreation or conservation and shall in-
clude not less than thirty percent (30 percent) of the
applicable land area within the development plan.
Such open land shall either be conveyed to the town
and accepted by it for park or open space use or be
conveyed to a nonprofit organization, the principal
purpose of which is the conservation of open space, or
be conveyed to a corporation or trust owned or to be
owned by the owners of lots or residential units within
the plan. If such a corporation or trust is utilized, own-
ership thereof shall pass with conveyances of the lots or
residential units. In any case where such land is not
conveyed to the town, a restriction enforceable by the
town shall be recorded, provided that such land shall
be kept in an open or natural state and not be built
upon or developed for accessory uses such as parking
or roadway. Building coverage shall not exceed five
percent (5 percent) in such conservation or recreation
areas.
4248. Long-term compliance. Subsequent to ap-
proval of such open space village development, no
land therein shall be sold and no lot line or structure
altered from that shown on the overall development
plan so as to increase the extent of nonconformity with
the standard dimensional regulations of this bylaw.
(See sections 175-2400 and 175-2500.) Prior to sale of
any lot within an open space village development, or
issuance of a building permit for construction therein,
such lots shall be shown on a plan recorded in the
Registry of Deeds or registered with the Land Court,
which plan shall make references to the recorded land
agreements referred to in Subsection 4247. Unless the
Board of Appeals has specifically approved staged
development, such plan shall 'show all lots to be in-
cluded in the development.
175-4300. Flood area provisions.
Permits for new construction, alteration of structures
or other development (nay man-made change to im-
proved or unimproved real estate, including but not
limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredg-
ing, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling
operations), at or below the base flood elevation as
specified within the A and V Zones (in unnumbered A
Zones, in the absence of Federal Insurance Admin istra-
tion data, the base flood elevations shall be deter-
mined by obtaining, reviewing and reasonably utiliz-
ing any existing base flood elevation data from fed-
eral, state, or other sources), as designated on special
Flood Insurance Administration Flood Insurance Rate
Maps, Nos. 01 through 04, effective May 2, 1977
(which are on file with the Town Clerk, Planning Board
and Building Inspector), shall be approved subject to
the following:
4310. Minimum floor elevations. New construc-
tion or substantial improvement * (repair, construction
or alteration costing fifty percent (50 percent) or more of
the market value of the structure before improvement
or, if damaged, before damage occurred) of residential
structures shall have the lowest floor (including base-
ment) elevated to not less than base flood elevations.
New construction or substantial improvement of non-
residential structures shall either be similarly elevated
or, together with attendent utility and sanitary
facilities, be floodproofed to not less than base flood
elevations.
* Note: Substantial improvement will have been de-
creed to occur when the first alteration of any structural
part of the building commences.
4320. Certification of floodproofing. Where
floodproofing is utilized in accordance with Section
4310, a registered engineer or architect shall certify
that the flood -proofing methods are adequate to with-
stand the flood depths, pressures, velocitied, impact
and uplift forces and other factors associated with the
base flood.
87
4330. Building Inspector review. Any new con-
struction or substantial improvement to be undertaken
within said district shall be in accordance with the
Massachusetts State Building Code, Section 748.0. The
Building Inspector shall:
4331. Review all proposed development within
the flood district to assure that all necessary permits
have been received from those governmental agencies
from which approval is required by federal or state
law, including Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollu-
tion Control Act Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C. Sec.
1334.
4332. Obtain and maintain records of elevation
and floodproofing levels for new construction or sub-
stantial improvement within the flood district.
4340. Velocity Zones. No land within areas de-
signated as V (velocity) Zones on the Flood Insurance
Administration Flood Insurance Rate Maps shall be
developed unless such development is demonstrated
by the applicant to be located landward of the reach of
the mean high tide. All new construction and substan-
tial improvement within the V Zones shall be elevated
on adequately anchored pilings or columns and sec-
urely anchored to such piles or columns so that the
lowest portion of the structural members of the lowest
floor (excluding the pilings or columns) is elevated to or
above the base flood elevation; and certified by a
registered professional engineer or architect that the
structure is securely anchored to adequately anchored
pilings or columns in order to withstand velocity waters
and hurricane wave wash. The following shall be pro-
hibited within said V. Zones:
4341. Any man-made alteration of sand dunes
which might increase the potential for flood damage.
4342. Uses of fill for structural support for new
construction or substantial improvement of structures.
4343. Mobile homes.
4350. Variances and special permits. The Zoning
Board of Appeals may authorize use variances within
the flood areas in accordance with Subsection 1322, as
in any other zoning district within the Town of Yar-
mouth, and may grant a special permit for new struc-
tures or substantial improvements to be erected on a lot
one-half (V2) acre in size or less, contiguous to and
surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed
below the base flood elevation, provided that the fol-
lowing are met:
4351. A showing of good and sufficient cause;
4352. A determination that failure to grant the
special permit would result in exceptional hardship to
the applicant;
88
4353. A determination that the special permit
will not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense
or any conflict with requirements in accordance with G.
L.c. 40A, as amended; and
4354. The Zoning Board of Appeals has notified
the applicant for the special permit, in writing, that the
actuarial rates will increase as the first floor elevation
decreases and that such construction below base flood
elevation level increases and that such construction
below base flood elevation level increases risks to life
and property.
4360. Procedure. Upon the granting of such a
special permit or a variance from this Section 175-
4300, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall require that
the Town of Yarmouth maintain a record of all such
variance and special permit actions, including justifi-
cation for issuance, and report such variances and
special permits issued in its annual report to the Flood
Insurance Administrator in accordance with the De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development
guidelines.
4370. Historic places. The Zoning Board of Ap-
peals may grant a special permit for the reconstruction,
rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed on the

and to enact in substitution therefor the following:
ARTICLE I
ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURE
§175-1100. Purpose
The purpose of this bylaw is to promote the health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants by
dividing the town into districts and regulating the use
and construction of buildings and premises therein.
§175-1200. Administration.
1210. Enforcement. This bylaw shall be enforced
by the Building Inspector.
1220. Professional inspection. Construction on
projects under a single building permit involving
either one (1) or more structures (other than one- or
two-family dwellings), each containing thirty-five
thousand (35,000) cubic feet of volume or more, or
involving fifty (50) or more dwelling units, irrespec-
tive of type, shall be done with the inspection of a
registered professional engineer or architect, re-
tained by the developer. Such engineer or architect
shall periodically, as requested by the Building In-
spector, attest that all work being done under his
supervision is being done in accordance with the
plans as certified under Subsection 1411.
1230. Penalties. Any person violating any of the
provisions of this bylaw shall be fined not more than
fifty dollars ($50.) for each offense. Each day that
such violation continues shall constitute a separate

§175-1300. Board of Appeals.
1310. Establishment. The Board of Appeals shall
consist of five (5) members and such number of
associate members as the Selectmen shall deter-
mine, who shall be appointed by the Selectmen and

manner prescribed by G.L. c.40A, 40B and 41, as
amended.
1320. Powers. The Board of Appeals shall have
and exercise all the powers granted to it by G.L.
c.40A, 40B and 41, as amended, and by this bylaw.
The Board's powers are as follows:
1321. To hear and decide applications for special
permits upon which the Board is empowered to act
under this bylaw, in accordance with Section 1420.
1322. To hear and decide appeals or petitions for
variances from the terms of this bylaw, including
variances for use, with respect to particular land or
structures. Such variance shall be granted only in
cases where the Board of Appeals finds all of the
following:
(a) A literal enforcement of the provisions of this
bylaw would involve a substantial hardship, fi-
nancial or otherwise, to the petitioner or appel-
lant.
(b) The hardship is owing to circumstances relat-
ing to the soil conditions, shape or topography of
such land or structures and especially affecting
such land or structures, but not affecting gener-
ally the zoning district in which it is located.
93
(c) Desirable relief may be granted without
either:
(1) Substantial detriment to the public good;
or
(2) Nullifying or substantially derogating
from the intent or purpose of this bylaw.
1323. To hear and decide other appeals. Other
appeals will also be heard and decided by the
Board of Appeals when taken by:
(a) Any person aggrieved by reason of his inabil-
ity to obtain a permit or enforcement action from
any administrative officer under the provisions of
G.L. c.40A, as amended; or
(b) The Cape Cod Planning and Economic De-
velopment Commission; or
(c) Any person, including any officer or board of
the Town of Yarmouth or of any abutting town, if
aggrieved by any order or decision of the Build-
ing Inspector or other administrative official, in
violation of any provision of G.L. c.40A, as
amended, or this bylaw.
1324. To issue comprehensive permits. Com-
prehensive permits for construction may be issued
by the Board of Appeals for construction of low- or
moderate -income housing by a public agency or
limited dividend or nonprofit corporation, upon the
Board's determination that such construction would
be consistent with local needs, whether or not consis-
tent with local zoning, building, health or subdivi-
sion requirements, as authorized by G.L. c.40B,
§§ 20 through 23, as amended.
1325. To issue withheld building permits. Build-
ing permits withheld by the Building Inspector act-
ing under G.L. c.41, § 81Y, as amended, as a means
of enforcing the Subdivision Control Law may be
issued by the Board of Appeals where the Board
finds practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship
and if the circumstances of the case do not require
that the building be related to a way shown on the
subdivision plan in question.
1330. Public Hearings. The Board of Appeals shall
hold public hearings in accordance with the provi-
sions of G.L. c.40A, 40B and 41, as amended, on all
appeals and petitions brought before it. Submission
shall be in conformity with Sections 13 and 15 of Chap-
ter 40A, which shall include payment of a filing fee of
thirty dollars ($30.00).
1340. Repetitive petitions. Repetitive petitions for
special permits, appeals and petitions for variances
and applications to the Board of Appeals shall be
limited as provided in G.L. c. 40A ss 16, as
amended.
§ 175-1400. Permit reviews.
1410. Required permits.
1411. Compliance certification. Buildings, struc-
tures or land may not be erected, substantially al-
tered or changed in use without certification by the
Building Inspector that such action is in compliance
with then applicable zoning, or without review by
him regarding whether all necessary permits have
been received from those governmental agencies
from which approval is required by federal, state or
local law. Issuance of a building permit or certificate
of use and occupancy, where required under the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Building
Code, may serve as such certification.
1412. Site improvements. Where more than one
(1) principal structure is erected on a lot, no occu-
pancy permit for full or partial occupancy of the site
shall be issued until parking, access, drainage and
utilities serving the structure to be occupied have
been completed to the satisfaction of the Town En-
gineering Department or a bond for their completion
has been posted.
1420. Special permits.
1421. Special permit granting authority. Unless
specifically designated otherwise, the Board of Ap-
peals shall act as the special permit granting author-
ity. Applications to the Board of Appeals for Special
Permits shall be filed with the Town Clerk. Applications
to other Special Permit Granting Authorities shall be
made directly to those authorities.
1422. Criteria. Special permits shall not be
granted unless the applicant demonstrates that no
undue nuisance, hazard or congestion will be
created and that there will be no substantial harm to
the established or future character of the neighbor-
hood or town.
1423. Public hearing. Special permits shall only
be issued following public hearings held within
sixty-five (65) days after filing with the special per-
mit granting authority an application, a copy of
which shall forthwith be given to the Town Clerk by
the applicant.
1424. Conditions. Special permits may be granted
with such reasonable conditions, regulations or (imi-
tations as the special permit granting authority may
deem necessary to serve the purposes of this bylaw.
1425. Expiration. Special permits shall lapse if a
substantial use thereof or construction has not be-
gun, except for good cause, within twenty-four (24)
months of special permit approval (exclusive of time
required to pursue or await the determination of an
appeal referred to in G.L. c.40A, § 17, as amended,
from the grant thereof).
1430. Site plan review.
94
1431. When required.
(a) Applications for building permits for new
construction or additions for the following ac-
tivities, if involving one thousand (1,000) square

tures or paving, shall be subject to site plan re-
view:
(1) Open space village developments.
(2) Mobile home parks.
(3) Motels and guesthouses.
(4) All other nonresidential uses requiring ten

exact location and size of any existing or proposed
buildings, streets and ways adjacent to the lot; and
existing and proposed topography, drives, parking,
landscaping, park or recreation areas, use of struc-
tures and land, screening, water, sanitary sewerage
and storm drainage; and separate plans shall also
show ground floor plans and architectural eleva-
tions of all proposed buildings and signs, to be
prepared (except in the case of one- and two-family
dwellings) by a registered architect or engineer if
such buildings contain thirty-five thousand (35,000)
cubic feet of space or more.
1433. Procedure. Forthwith upon their receipt, a•
copy of the above plans shall be forwarded by the
Building Inspector to the Town Engineering Depart-
ment for its review and report. No building permit
shall be issued without site plan review by the Town
Engineering Department unless twenty-five (25)
days lapse from the date of referral without receipt
of notice of the Town Engineering Department's ac-
tion.
1434. Criteria for review. The Town Engineering
Department shall review a site plan to determine
whether or not the requirements of the zoning
bylaw ore satisfied.
§175-1500. Applicability.
1510. Other regulations. This bylaw shall not in-
terfere with or annul any bylaw, rule, regulation or
permit, provided that, unless specifically excep-
ted, where this bylaw is more stringent, it shall con-
trol.
1520. Conformance. Construction or operations
under a building or special permit shall conform to any
subsequent amendment of this bylaw unless the use or
construction is commenced within a period of six (6)
months after the issuance of the permit and, in cases
involving construction, unless such construction is con-
tinued through to completion as continuously and ex-
peditiously as is reasonable.
1530. Nonconformancy. The lawful use of any struc-
ture or land existing at the time of enactment or sub-
sequent amendment of this bylaw may be continued,
although such structure or use does not conform with
provisions of the bylaw, subject to the following condi-
tions and exceptions:
1531. Abandonment. A nonconforming use which
has been abandoned or discontinued for a period of
two (2) years or more shall not be reestablished, and
any future use shall conform with the bylaw.
1532. Change, extension or alteration. As provided
in G.L. c.40A, § 6, as amended, a nonconforming
single- or two-family dwelling may be altered or ex-
tended, provided that the Building Inspector deter-
mines that doing so does not increase the nonconform-
ing nature of said structure. Other preexisting noncon-
forming structures or uses may be extended, altered or
changed in use on special permit from the Board of
Appeals if the Board of Appeals finds that such exten-
sion, alteration or change will not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the exist-
ing nonconforming use. Once changed toa conforming
use, no structure or land shall be permitted to revert to a
nonconforming use.
1533. Restoration. Necessary repairs and rebuilding
after damage by fire, storm or similar disaster are
hereby permitted, provided that they are accomplished
without due delay and do not substantially change
the character or size of the buildings, nor the use to
which they were put prior to such damage.
1534. Isolated lots and subdivisions. Under G.L.
c.40A, § 6, as amended, lots not held in common own-
ership with any adjoining land are generally not sub-
ject to subsequent amendments in dimensional re-
quirements, and land shown on subdivisions or other
plans endorsed by the Planning Board are exempted
from subsequent zoning amendments in certain re-
spects for a limited period of time. (See G.L. c.40A, §'6,
as amended.)
1535. Dimensional exemptions. One (1) single-
family dwelling may be erected on any legally created
lot shown on a recorded plan, as long as all zoning
requirements applicable to the lot at the time it was
recoreded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds or
Land Registration Office are complied with, including
area, frontage and yard requirements, and as long as
all current zoning requirements other than intensity of
use regulations are met. In a Highway Commercial
District and Industrial District, a lot or parcel of land
having an area or a frontage of lesser amounts that
required in this bylaw may be considered as coming
within the area and frontage requirements of this
bylaw, provided that such lot or parcel of land was
shown on a plan or described in a deed duly recorded
with the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds or Land
Registration Office at the time of the adoption of this
bylaw and did not at the time of such adoption adjoin
other land of the same owner available for use in
connection with such lot or parcel. If there is a contigu-
ous open lot (or lots) under the same ownership
bounded in a deed or shown on a plan duly recorded
with the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds or Land
Registration Office prior to the adoption of this bylaw,
and not to be used for residential purposes, the Board
of Appeals (after due notice and public hearing) shall
require that such lots be merged, so as to provide the
maximum possible area up to eight thousand five
hundred (8,500) square feet per new lot thus created,
except that if the total combined area of such contigu-
ous open lots under one (1) ownership is not more than
eight thousand five hundred (8,500) square feet, he
Board of Appeals may permit the creation of, and
issuance of building permits for, a total number of lots
less than eight thousand five hundred (8,500) square
feet equal to the number of eight -thousand -five -
hundred -square -foot lots, plus one (1), that could be
laid out within the entire tract under one (1) ownership.
As used in this section, the word "contiguous" shall be
interpreted to mean having a common boundary equal
in length to at least one-half (1/2) the total length of the
longer boundary adjoining.
§175-1600. Validity.
The invalidity of any section or provisions of this
bylaw shall not invalidate any other section or provi-
sions hereof.
§ 175-1700. Amendment.
This bylaw may be amended in accordance with the
procedure described in G.L. c.40A, § 5, as amended.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
§ 175-3100. Parking and loading requirements.
3110. Intent and application of parking require-
ments.
3111. It is the intent of this section that adequate
off-street parking mustbe provided within a
reasonable distance to service all parking demand
created by new construction, whether through new
structures or through additions to existing ones or
through change of use creating higher parking de-
mand.
3112. Buildings, structures and land uses in exis-
tence on the effective date of these provisions are
not subject to these off-street parking requirements
and may be rebuilt, altered or repaired, but not
enlarged or changed in use, without becoming sub-
ject to these requirements.
3113. In applying for building or occupancy per-
mits, the applicant must demonstrate that the
minimum parking requirements set forth below will
be met for the new demand, without counting exist-
ing parking necessary for existing uses to meet these
requirements.
3114. The minimums of Section 3120 may be re-
duced on special permit from the Board of Appeals,
upon the Board's determination that special cir-
cumstances render a lesser provision adequate for
all parking needs. Examples of special cir-
cumstances include:
(a) Use of a common parking lot for different
uses having peak demands occurring at different
times.
(b) Age or other characteristics of occupants
which reduce their auto usage.
(c) Peculiarities of use which render usual mea-
surements of demand invalid.

3130. Parking area design and location.
3131. Off-street parking spaces, each not less than
ten by twenty (10 x 20) feet per vehicle, excluding
the portion of the driveway to each such space, shall
be provided on the same lot. However, driveway
area outside of a street right-of-way may be counted
for off-street parking when serving a single-family
dwelling. In the Highway Commercial and Indust-
rial Districts, parking spaces may be located on
another lot within a radius of two hundred (200)feet
and in the same zoning district.
3132. All required parking areas except those serv-
ing single-family residences shall be paved, unless
exempted on special permit from the Board of Ap-
peals for cases such as seasonal or periodic use
where a proposed alternative surface will prevent
dust, erosion or unsightly conditions. Drainage
facilities for each parking area shall be designed
and constructed to contain stormwater runoff on the
premises.
3133. Parking areas for five (5) or more cars shall
be designed with enough maneuvering space so
that vehicles need not back onto a public way, the
areas designated in Subsection 3136 and other
parking spaces.
3134. Center lines of driveways serving twenty
(20) or more parking spaces, if egressing onto a
state -numbered or state -maintained highway or
onto a street improved under the Chapter 90 prog-
ram, shall observe minimum separations as fol-
lows, unless precluded by lot configuration in exis-
tence on the date of adoption of this bylaw:
(a) From other such driveways:
(1) Same side of road: five hundred (500)
feet.
(2) Opposite side of road: zero (0) or two
hundred fifty (250) feet.
(b) From intersecting street side line: two
hundred fifty (250) feet.
No existing parcel shall be subdivided into lots with
frontage which would preclude meeting these re-
quirements unless access rights-of-way are pro-
vided across adjoining lots. Driveways subject to this
section shall have four hundred (400) feet visibility
in each travel direction and shall each comprise not
more than two (2) travel lanes, each not more than
twelve (12) feet in width at the lot line.
3135. Parking areas for five (5) or more cars shall
be separated from any street line by an area twenty
(20) feet wide and from any other property line by
an area ten (10) feet wide, free of any paving except
for entrance and exit driveways and maintained
with vegetation or other organic material.
3136. Parking lots for five (5) or more cars shall be
screened from any abutting residential use or dis-
trict which is abutted or separated from it by only a
street. Screening shall be by a four -foot -wide plant-
ing strip maintained with densely planted shrubs
not less than five (5) feet in height, or by grading.
Fences or walls may be a part of such screening
where deemed necessary, but shall not be suitable
as a substitute therefor or themselves be left un -
screened from abutting areas.
3137. Parking lots for twenty (20) or more cars shall
contain at least one (1) tree of two-inch caliper or
larger per eight (8) cars, to be located within the
parking area in soil plots allowing not less than forty
(40) square feet of unpaved soil area per tree, or to
be located within five (5) feet of the parking lot.
102
3138. No parking lot shall be illuminated in such a
way that it causes glare for motorists, pedestrians or
neighboring premises.
3140. Loading requirements.
3141. Loading zone criteria. Adequate off-street
loading facilities and space must be provided to
service all regular needs created by new construc-
tion, whether through new structures or additions to
old ones, and by change of use of existing structures.
Facilities shall be so sized and arranged that no
vehicles need regularly back onto a public way or be
parked bn a public way while loading, unloading or
waiting to do so.
3142. Application requirements. Prior to issuance
of a permit for construction of a new structure, addi-
tion to or alteration of an existing structure, or
change of use, the Building Inspector may require
that the applicant submit information concerning
the adequacy of existing or proposed loading
facilities on the parcel. Such information may in-
clude a plan of the loading area showing its size
and its relationship to buildings, parking areas and
public ways, documentation of the types of goods
and/or persons being loaded and unloaded from
vehicles, the expected types of vehicles to be ser-
viced at the loading area, and the expected normal
hours of operation. The Building Inspector shall use
information to determine whether or not the criteria
of Subsection 3141 above are met. In making such
determination the Building Inspector shall seek the
advice of the Planning Board and the Town En-
gineering Department.
§ 175-3200. Filling.
No person shall fill any area in the Town of Yar-
mouth with earth, concrete or other material to a depth
in excess of five (5) feet without a permit from the
Building Inspector. Said Inspector may require an
applicant for such permit to furnish such plans or
specifications as he may deem necessary and any
permit issued hereunder may contain such provisions,
conditions or limitations as he may deem necessary to
prevent dust, erosion, silting or other instability, and
stormwater diversion onto adjoining properties.
§ 175-3300. Signs
3310. Residential District.
3311. No sign shall be of the neon type or gas -
illuminated -tube type.
3312. One (1) sign shall be allowed bearing the

considered detracting or a hazard.
(g) Signs on town ways erected as a public con-
venience will be limited to so-called community
displays and shall require a permit to be issued
by the Building Inspector. These will be limited to
a standard size and lettering and will be main-

ARTICLE IV
SPECIAL REGULATIONS
§ 175-4100. Accessory uses.
4110. Camping and recreational equipment.
104
41 1 1. At no time shall parked or stored camping
and recreational equipment be occupied or used for
living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes.
4112. If camping or recreational equipment is
parked or stored outside of a garage, it shall be
parked or stored to the rear of the front building line
of the lot, except for loading and unloading.
4120. Accessory scientific uses. Uses, whether or
not on the same parcel as activities permitted as a
matter of right, accessory to activities permitted as a
matter of right, which activities are necessary in
connection with scientific research or scientific de-
velopment or related production, may be permitted
upon the issuance of a special permit by the Board of
Appeals, provided that the Board finds that the
proposed accessory use does not substantially dero-
gate from the public good.
175-4200. Open space village development.
4210. Objectives. The objective of open space vil-
lage development is to allow relatively intensive
use of land while at the same time maintaining
existing character; to preserve open space for con-
servation and recreation; to introduce variety and
choice into residential development; to meet hous-
ing needs; and to facilitate economical and efficient
provision of public services.
4220. Applicability. The Board of Appeals may
grant a special permit to allow the construction and
occupancy of an open space village development
with uses and dimensional requirements as
specified below in lieu of those elsewhere specified
in this bylaw, provided that it is consistent with the
following regulations and conditions.
4230. Procedures.
4231. Preapplication review. To promote better
communication and avoid misunderstanding,
applicants are encouraged to submit preliminary
materials for informal review by both the Board of
Appeals and the Planning Board prior to formal
application. Preliminary subdivision plans, if any,
should be submitted to the Planning Board prior to
application for a special permit.
4232. Application. Applicants for a special permit
for an open space village development shall submit
to the Board of Appeals five (5) copies of an applica-
tion and an overall development plan. Such plan
shall encompass land which is contiguous, except
for intervening streets, eight (8) acres of which shall
be absolutely contiguous. All land need not be in
one (1) ownership. If the plan involves more than
one (1) ownership, each owner of land included in
the plan shall be a party to the application and,
upon plan approval, subject to its provisions.
4233. Overall development plan. The overall de-
velopment plan shall indicate location and bound-
aries of the site, proposed land and building uses,
location of common open space, existing topog-
raphy, grading plan, location and width of streets
and ways, parking, areas of proposed and retained
vegetation, distinctions between upland and wet-
land, drainage, sewage and height, bulk, use and
proposed location of structures. The plan shall have
been prepared by a registered landscape architect,
architect, civil engineer or land surveyor.
4234. Other materials. The application materials
shall indicate each landowner's interest in the land
to be developed, the form of organization proposed
to own and maintain the common open space, the
substance of covenants and grants of easements to
be imposed upon the use of land and structures and
a development schedule.
4235. Review and decision. Forthwith upon their
receipt of the application and required plans, the
Board of Appeals shall transmit two (2) copies of all
submitted materials to the Planning Board and one
(1) copy each to the Board of Health, Conservation
Commission and Fire Chief. Within thirty-five (35)
days of receipt of the application by the Planning
Board, Board of Health, Conservation Commission
and Fire Chief, reports shall be submitted to the
Board of Appeals, which shall make no decision
upon the application until receipt of all such reports
or until the expiration of thirty-five (35) days follow-
ing receipt of the application by the above agencies.
4236. Criteria. Approval of an open space village
development shall be granted upon a determina-
tion by the Board of Appeals that the plan complies
with the requirements of Section 4240 and that the
plan is superior to a conventional one in preserving
open space for conservation or recreation; in utiliz-
ing natural features of the land; and in allowing
more efficient provision of streets, utilities and other
public services; and at least equal to a conventional
plan in other respects.
105
4240. Requirements.
An open space village development must conform
to the following:
4241. Number of dwelling units.
(a) The basic maximum number of dwelling
units allowed in an open space village develop-
ment shall equal the applicable land area di-
vided by the minimum lot area requirements
specified in § 175-2500 fora single-family dwel-
ling in that district. The Board of Appeals may,
under the provisions of Subsection 4242, issue a
special permit to authorize an increase in the
basic maximum number of dwelling units.
(b) Applicable land area equals the total area
encompassed by the overall development plan
minus land designated on the plan for uses
not primarily servicing residents of the de-
velopment. Further, land prohibited from de-
velopment by local bylaw or regulation, and
land subject to the Wetlands Protection Act
(G.L. c.131, ss 40, as amended) or the Wet-
lands Restriction Acts (G.L. c.131, ss40A, as
amended, and G. L. c.130, ss 105, as
amended) may be included in the applicable
land area only to the extent that they constitute
not more than ten percent (10%) of the resul-
tant total applicable land area. For example, if
the total area encompassed by the overall de-
velopment plan equals twenty-four (24) acres
and the land subject to the Wetlands Protection
Act and Wetlands Restriction Acts within the
overall development plan equals ten (10) acres,
multiply the fourteen (14) acres by eleven and
eleven -hundredths percent (11.11%), which is
one and fifty-six hundredths (1.56) acres. To de-
termine the applicable land area, add fourteen
(14) acres and one and fifty-six hundredths (1.56)
acres for a total of fifteen and fifty-six hundredths
(15.56) acres. Ten percent (10%) of the applicable
land area [fifteen and fifty-six hundredths
(15.56) acres] equals one and fifty-six hun-
dredths (1.56) acres.
(c) Where the development includes more than
one (1) ownership and/or lies in more than one
(1) zoning district, the number of units allowed
shall be calculated as above for each zoning
district and summed to give an overall allowable
total, which may be located on the plan without
respect to all allowable subtotals by district or
ownership areas.
4242. Incentive bonus. In conjunction with an ap-
plication for a special permit to allow an open space
village development, the Board of Appeals may, if
the required open space exceeds the open space
required by Sub -section 4247, allow by special
permit use of the following incentive factors to al low
an increase in the maximum number of dwelling
units. The allowable total number of dwelling units
shall be determined by multiplying the basic
maximum number of dwelling units (Subsection
4241) by the following incentive factors, then
rounding to the nearest whole number:
Applicable Land Area
Less than 20 acres
20 - 50 acres
50 - 75 acres
75 plus acres
Incentive Factor
1.00 + M/T
1.1 + (.9 x M/T)
1.2+(.8xM/T)
1.3+(.7xM/T)
Where "M" is the number of dwelling units proposed to
be in multifamily structures and "T" is the total number
of dwelling units proposed. In no case shall the allow-
able total number of dwelling units exceed twice the
basic maximum number of dwelling units. In certain
cases, the feasible number of dwelling units will be

tion of established neighborhoods, evidenced by
not more than thirty (30) single-family dwelling
structures existing at the time of application
being within five hundred (500) feet of any prop-
osed multifamily or attached single-family
structure.
(b) There shall be adequate access to one of the
following streets, without requiring use of any
streets extensively used for single-family homes:

turbance by minimizing the following: topog-
raphic change; removal of existing trees and
vegetation; and visually disruptive building loca-
tion. Multifamily structures shall be located not
less than two hundred fifty (250) feet from any
pond over five (5) acres, river, stream, ocean,
swamp or marsh. The Board of Appeals may
reduce this requirement to not less than one
hundred (100) feet upon demonstration by the
applicant that the site plan could thereby be en-
hanced and also that the topography, vegetation
and soil characteristics of the site and the prop-
osed drainage patterns are such that siltation,
erosion, surface water contamination or other
environmental degradation will not be substan-
tially increased due to a reduced setback from
water bodies.
(e) There shall be preservation of neighborhood
amenity by the following:
(1) The site design shall screen parking areas
and preserve existing water views from public
ways and provide effective use of topography,
landscaping and building placement to main-
tain the character of the neighborhood.

(c) Occupancy permits for any structure shall be
granted only in accordance with the require-
ments of Subsection 1412.
4247. Open space. All land not designated for
roads, lots for dwellings or other development
within the open space village development shall be
held for common open space. Common open space
shall be preserved for recreation or conservation
and shall include not less than thirty percent (30%)
of the applicable land area within the development
plan. Such open land shall either be conveyed to the
town and accepted by it for park or open space use
or be conveyed to a nonprofit organization, the prin-
cipal purpose of which is the conservation of open
space, or be conveyed to a corporation or trust
owned or to be owned by the owners of lots or
residential units within the plan. If such a corpora-
tion or trust is utilized, ownership thereof shall pass
with conveyances of the lots or residential units. In
any case where such land is not conveyed to the
town, a restriction enforceable by the town shall be
recorded, providing that such land shall be kept in
an open or natural state and not be built upon or
develolped for accessory uses such as parking or
roadway. Building coverage shall not exceed five
percent (5%) in such conservation or recreation
areas.
4248. Long-term compliance. Subsequent to ap-
proval of such open space village development, no
land therein shall be sold and no lot line or structure
altered from that shown on the overall development
plan so as to increase the extent of nonconformity
with the standard dimensional regulations of this
bylaw. (See §§ 175-2400 and 175-2500.) Prior to
sale of any lot within an open space village de-
velopment, or issuance of a building permit for
construction therein, such lots shall be shown on a
plan recorded in the Registry of Deeds or registered
with the Land Court, which plan shall make refer-
ences to the recorded land agreements referred to in

operations), at or below the base flood elevation as
specified within the A and V Zones (in unnumbered A
Zones, in the absence of Federal Insurance Administra-
tion data, the base flood elevations shall be deter-
mined by obtaining, reviewing and reasonably utiliz-
ing any existing base flood elevation data from fed-
eral, state or other sources), as designated on special
Flood Insurance Administration Flood Insurance Rate
Maps, Nos. 01 through 04, effective May 2, 1977
(which are on file with the Town Clerk, Planning Board
and Building Inspector), shall be approved subject to
the following:
4310. Minimum floor elevations. New construction
or substantial improvement* (repair, construction of
alteration costing fifty percent (50%) or more
of the market value of the structure before im-
provement or, if damaged, before damage occur-
red) of residential structures shall have the lowest
floor (including basement) elevated to not less than
base flood elevations. New construction or substan-
tial improvement of nonresidential structures shall
either be similarly elevated or, together with atten-
dant utility and sanitary facilities, be floodproofed
to not less than base flood elevations.
*Note: Substantial improvement will have been de-
creed to occur when the first alteration of any struc-
tural part of the building commences.
4320. Certification of floodproofing. Where flood -
proofing is utilized in accordance with Section 4310,
a registered engineer or architect shall certify that
the floodproofing methods are adequate to with-
stand the flood depths, pressures, velocities, impact
and uplift forces and other factors associated with
the base flood.
4330. Building Inspector review. Any new con-
struction or substantial improvement to be underta-
ken within said district shall be in accordance with
the Massachusetts State Building Code, Section
748.0. The Building Inspector shall:
4331. Review all proposed development within the
flood district to assure that all necessary permits
108
have been received from those governmental agen-
cies from which approval is required by federal or
state law, including Section 404 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,
33 U.S.C. § 1334.
4332. Obtain and maintain records of elevation
and floodproofing levels for new construction or
substantial improvement within the flood district.
4340. Velocity Zones. No land within areas desig-
nated as V (velocity) Zones on the Flood Insurance
Administration Flood Insurance Rate Maps shall be
developed unless such development is de-
monstrated by the applicant to be located landward
of the reach of the mean high tide. All new construc-
tion and substantial improvement within the V
Zones shall be elevated on adequately anchored
pilings or columns and securely anchored to such
piles of columns so that the lowest portion of the
structural members of the lowest floor (excluding
the pilings or columns) is elevated to or above the
base flood elevation; and certified by a registered
professional engineer or architect that the structure
is securely anchored to adequately anchored pilings
or columns in order to withstand velocity waters and
hurricane wave wash. The following shall be prohi-
bited within said V Zones:
4341. Any man-made alteration of sand dunes
which might increase the potential for flood dam-
age.
4342. Use of fill for structural support for new con-
struction or substantial improvement of structures.

tion 1322, as in any other zoning district within the
Town of Yarmouth, and may grant a special permit
for new structures or substantial improvements to be
erected on a lot one-half (1/2) acre in size or less,
contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
structures constructed below the base flood eleva-
tion, provided that the following are met:
4351. A showing of good and sufficient cause;
4352. A determi nation that failure to grant the spe-
cial permit would result in exceptional hardship to
the applicant;
4353. A determination that the special permit will
not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public ex-
pense or any conflict with requirements in accor-
dance with G.L. c.40A, as amended; and
4354. The Zoning Board of Appeals has notified
the applicant for the special permit, in writing, that
the actuarial rates will increase as the first floor
elevation decreases and that such construction
below base flood elevation level increases risks to
life and property.
4360. Procedure. Upon the granting of such a spe-
cial permit or a variance from this § 175-4300, the
Zoning Board of Appeals shall require that the Town
of Yarmouth maintain a record of all such variance
and special permit actions, including justification
for issuance, and report such variances and special
permits issued in its annual report to the Flood In-
surance Administrator in accordance with the De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development
guidelines.
4370. Historic places. The Zoning Board of Appeals
may grant a special permit for the reconstruction,
rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed on
the National Register of Historic Places or the State
Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the
procedures set forth in Section 4350 above.
4380. Other laws. Where these flood area provi-
sions impose greater or lesser restrictions or re-
qu irements than those of other applicable bylaws or
regulations, the more restrictive shall apply.

Report of the Barnstable
County
HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
July 1, 1977 to June 30, 1978
Services
Barnstable County Health Department continues to
be the only county health department in this state and
in all of New England. This County has had a vital
interest in health since its beginning in 1636. At that
time smallpox was a problem of Indian tribes and
white settlers. Now, the county provides many essen-
tial public services in order to promote an environment
and a way of life which will maintain, protect or im-
prove the health of county residents. Operating under
the provision of Chapter 133 of the Acts of 1926 of the
General Court, and under the authority of the elected
Barnstable County Commissioners and an appointed
county health officer; the department offers health
planning; communicable disease control; environmen-
tal health management and consultation; a public
health laboratory for bacterial and chemical analysis
of public and private water supplies, recreational wat-
ers and shellfish harvesting areas, and of milk and
milk products; consultation and supervision in com-
munity nursing; promotion of dental health; medical
social services; and services for handicapped children.
Accomplishments
Health Planning, collection of data, participation on
local and statewide committees and boards, consulta-
tion, information and referral, have been a part of each
professional member's function. The county health of-
ficer has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of
the Barnstable County Hospital and chairman of their
Long Range Planning Committee.
Direct patient care has been provided (a) by the
medical social workers on the request of physicians,
hospitals, home health agencies and families; (b) by
the team which operates the area Handicapped Chil-
drens Clinic for the Division of Family Health Services
of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health,
there were 336 children served through the year; (c) by
the public health nurse directors and the sanitarians in
the control of communicable diseases; (d) by the dental
hygienist in screening selected pre-school and elemen-
tary school groups, and in supporting the fluoride rinse
programs and tooth -keeper programs; (e) by all of the
staff in the licensing of 43 group day care centers/
nursery schools.
Direct supervision has been provided under written
agreement to the Home Health Agencies in Harwich,
Orleans, Provincetown, Sandwich, Wellfleet/Truro.
Supervision and educational programs have also been
extended to other nurses and therapists working in
community health programs, to those working in
school health programs, and to the town health agents.
Staff have cooperated in planning programs with other
health and human service agencies, and in providing
speakers. Students .in the fields of physical therapy at
Northeastern University, and in dental hygiene at
Cape Cod Community College have had planned af-
filiation experiences, other students from University of
Massachusetts Medical School and from graduate
programs in community planning have observed or
obtained resource materials. Advanced students in en-
vironmental health from University of Massachusetts
have been employed as summer sanitary inspectors.
As a co-sponsor of the Health Resource Center at the
155
Cape Cod Community College efforts have been made
to extend audio-visual equipment and educational
materials to health workers—the purpose has been to
improve and up -date teaching skills of such workers.
Intensive study in the field of environmental chemis-
try and in social work research was made possible
through the CETA program. As a preliminary step in the
development of the capabilities of the public health
laboratory, the chemise introduced procedures,
oriented laboratory staff to the use of new equipment,
and accumulated base -line data for monitoring nut-
rients in private well water supplies. This service was to
be an adjunct to the planned 208 Waste Water Man-
agement Program. The social work study served to
document the impact of disabled children on family
life; a related benefit was the development and appli-
cation of research skills and techniques.
Aims
This next year the department will be considering:
1. Ways of strengthening technical expertise in order
to support and assist town Boards of Health.
2. Ways of encouraging towns to provide for sanita-
tion aides to help with inspection procedures.
3. Need for sanitary engineering services on the
county level.
4. Responsibilities and/or services in the field of "hu-
man services" other than identifiable health ser-
vices.
5. Ways of assisting towns where there is a desire to,
or pressure to, "regionalize" the Home Health
Agencies.
6. Cessation of the responsibility for inspecting and
recommending licensure for group day care ser-
vices. This responsibility had been delegated to us
first by the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health and later by the Office for Children.
7. Extension of continuing education services, to in-
clude broader groups of professionals who are deal-
ing with health care services.
8. Further assistance in the development and study of
school health policies and services for the "well
school child."
9. Further development of procedures for the preven-
tion and detection of lead paint poisoning.
Appreciation is extended to the Selectmen, to mem-
bers of the Boards of Health, and to the Commissioners
of Barnstable County for their encouragement and
support of staff activities.

Report of the
HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens
of the Town of Yarmouth:
Herewith submitted is the Annual Report of the Town of
Yarmouth Health Department
The protection of the public health is a tremendous
responsibility. It encompasses many areas of concern,
ranging from the inspection of restaurants to determin-
ing the suitability of a building lot to construct a septic
system. The keynote to good public health practices is
the implementation of preventive public health prog-
rams. This is often a difficult task, because the de-
mands of inspections, reviews, and enforcement leave
very little time for preventive programs.
The year 1978 was successful in the implementation
of several preventive public health service programs.
One of the major accomplishments being the Sub -
Surface Sewage Disposal Regulations which were
adopted August 25, 1978, to supplement, clarify and
augment the provisions of Title V of the State Environ-
mental Code. Stricter enforcement was placed on the
Housing and Space -Use By -Law; the Animal Control
Leash Law; and the town's Stable Regulations. Another
accomplishment was the implementation of a Rat Ex-
termination Program.
The Board of Health, with the cooperation of the
Visiting Nurse Association, provided several Com-
municable Disease Control Programs which included a
federally sponsored Flu Clinic for the elderly; an on-
going Pre-school Immunization Program; and co-
ordinated plans for a school immunization program
and well-child clinics.
The Barnstable County Health Department laborat-
ory provided analyses of the samples of paint -chips
taken for lead -paint testing; and analyses of,the sam-
ples of well, pond, and beach waters taken by the
Yarmouth Health Department. However, a regular
water quality monitoring program is needed to deter-
mine methods of preventing the pollution of our sur-
face waters.
Additional Board of Health programs included the
annual Rabies Clinic and an annaul inspection prog-
ram of all stables in the town.
The enforcement of the Housing and Space -Use By -
Law, which limits the number of occupants of rental
157
property based on square footage of living aren, was a
mile -stone in the prevention of overcrowded condi-
tions. A joint program was set up with the Yarmouth
Police Department, wherein the Police reported viola-
tions to the Health Department. The Health Department
then visited each residence where an overcrowded
condition existed and explained the by-laws to the
occupants. The program was successful in that only a
few prosecutions of violations were necessary.
The Health Department received an average of 30
telephone calls per day. Many of these calls pertained
to complaints about possible violations of the Health
Code. Each complaint is logged; an investigation
made; and a written report filed. The records dealing
with all public health activities are now being main-
tained so that the statistics they reveal will help to
provide information with which to implement needed
programs.
The Health Officer attended several public health
training sessions in order to keep up with the ever
changing requirements of the State Sanitary Codes.
These sessions included 'Continuing Education in the
Fields of Enforcement; Housing Inspections; Septic Sys-
tem Management, and Communicable Disease Con-
trol.
There were also many accomplishments achieved by
the Health Advisory Committee during the year 1978.
This six -member committee devoted many hours and
individual expertise to the documentation and evalua-
tion of statistics submitted for funding requests by the
various Human Service agencies. The reports turned in
by the Health Advisory Committee help to coordinate
the Human Service agencies for the greater benefit of
Yarmouth citizens. The cooperation and participation
of the committee members has proved to be both a
valuable, and beneficial asset to the Board of Health
during the year 1978.

Report of the
VETERANS'
AGENT
Herewith is the 1978 Annual Report of the District
Department of Veterans' Services:
Under Chapters 115 and 483 of the Massachusetts
General Laws, it is my responsibility to aid, assist and
advise Veterans and their dependents of the benefits
which they might be eligible for. To uphold this respon-
sibility, our Staff must keep abreast of all Laws govern-
ing Federal, State and Local programs.
During the past year, again we have handled over
5000 personal visits and over 6000 incoming tele-
phone calls, regarding benefits for Veterans and/or
their dependents.
An example of how our office effects the Com-
munities of our District; we have received figures from
the Veterans Administration showing the amount of
expenditures to Veterans and their dependents for
1978. These figures are cash figures received in the
Community for Compensation and Pension, Education,
Vocational Rehabilitation, Insurance and Indemnities.
Town of Barnstable; $1,485,380.00
Town of Dennis; 499,986.00
Town of Mashpee; 77,618.00
Town of Sandwich; 315,594.00
Town of Yarmouth; 939,690.00
Figures, also received by this office, show an approx-
imate figure of what expenditures would have been if
there had been no Veterans Administration Hospitals
or Clinics for Veterans in this area. this figure, would be
$3,461,697.00.
However, I cannot take credit for all these figures, as
I must thank the Local American Legion, V.F.W.'s and
D.A.V. for the help they render to the local Veterans.
Also, I would like to extend my appreciation to the
Veterans Administration, and in particular, Mr. Jack
Marland for all the assistance they have given me over
past years.
Following is a report of our Investigator, George C.
Christopulos;
As Investigator for the Department of Veterans' Ser-
vices, my main objective is to ascertain the validity of
Veterans' applications for eligibility for assistance.
Permanent cases are investigated every six months,
while temporary ones, each and every month.
Job responsibilities in the Veterans' office, consist of
exploring the various avenues where Veterans and
their dependents are able to receive the aid essential to
their needs, through the Agencies, such as the Social
Security Administration, Department of Public Welfare
and the Division of Employment Security, as well as
pursuing applications for Veterans Administration
Pensions, on the Federal level. Keeping abreast of Laws
and their changes is essential, in order to facilitate
matters for those who require benefits.
GEORGE C. CHRISTOPULOS
Investigator
I wish to thank my Staff for all the help they have
given me over the past year: Mrs. Olive M. Ritter, Mrs.
Josephine B. Angell, Mr. George Christopulos.
I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you to the
employees of each Town for the help and cooperation
they have given me this past year, "Thank you!"

Report of the
PLANNING
BOARD
Citizens of Town of Yarmouth
We are pleased to submit the report of the Planning
Board for the fiscal year of 1978.
1978 has been a difficult year for the Board as we
have lost three members. However, we do have three
new members who are conscientious and genuinely
concerned for the welfare of the community and the
citizens whose interest they represent.
The Planning Board has reviewed and acted on 54
Approval Not Required plans acquiring a total of 57
new lots and has acted on or in the process of reviewing
23 subdivision plans which create 224 new lots.
Although our subdivision control work has been con-
suming and demanding, the Board, with the aid of
consultants prepared, and presented major revisions to
the Town's zoning bylaw at the December special meet-
ing. Some of these were approved and others were
tabled. The Board is in the process of reviewing and
revising these proposals for presentation at the April
1979 Town Meeting.
We submit this report with appreciation to those
boards, departments, committees and citizens who
have aided us in our deliberation this year.
Sincerely yours,

Report of the
HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and Citizens of Yarmouth
The Yarmouth Highway Department has a multifa-
ceted area of responsibility including the maintenance
of 416 miles of road or 1093 roads, 5282 drainage
catch basins and hundreds of traffic, safety and street
signs to be placed and/or replaced in the course of a
year. Within both budgetary and manpower limita-
tions, efforts are made to maintain, sweep, plow, sand,
as required, all roads, public and private. While the
goal is to clean all catch basins at least once annually to
alleviate drainage problems, the aforementioned re-
strictions, unfortunately, preclude accomplishing such
a goal.
The department is staffed with 17 men and one
secretary. There are 2 foremen, 1 mechanic, 1 sign
maker, 2 sweeper operators, 1 catch basin cleaner
operator, 1 light truck driver, 3 heavy truck drivers, 2
heavy equipment operators, and 4 laborers in addition
to the elected Highwas Surveyor.
During 1978, maintenance, construction, and recon-
struction was accomplished on several roads; traffic
signs placed, post installed; drainage (catch basins)
installed, pipe placed; traffic painting of stop lines,
crossings, and center lines.
Clearing of ice and snow continues to tax the de-
partment to its fullest extent. Six sanders and seven
plows are supplemented with 30-32 contracted vehi-
cles. In addition to Highway Department and contract
equipment, equipment and personnel of the Sanitation
Deportment are usually pressed into service yearly.
In conclusion, this department provides assistance to
all other town departments and the Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional School District at considerable savings to the
town.
The cooperation received from all departments, and
the dedicated service of the Highway Department staff
is greatly appreciated.

its report for the calendar year 1978.
Present number of active services 11,512
Services installed during 1978 402
Gallons pumped during calendar year
1978 984,224,000
Miles of main added to system 8 04

10" - 2689 feet
12" - 11139 feet
16" - 5451 feet
42455 feet (8,04)
During calendar 1978 the Water Department instal-
led or caused to be installed 402 new service connec-
tions, 8 04 miles of main and 73 hydrants. Total gal-
lonage pumped was 984,224,000 gallons, an increase
of 1.02 percent. This pumpage represents 234 gallons
per service per day. The largest number of gallons
pumped per day was last July 2, when 7,218,000 were
pumped, this being the second highest peak day in the.•
department's history. During 1978 more than 50 inches
of rainfall was recorded at the department's offices at
102 Union Street.
1978 saw the completion of pumping stations for
gravel packed wells 17,18 and 19 along with the
necessary access roads, power lines, water mains and
pumping equipment. These stations saw limited use
during 1978, but should be completely "on line" for
1979.
The completion of two large water main projects was
accomplished during 1978, with the help of the state
and federal governments. Firstly through the economic
development administration, work was done in the
Hyannis Park area to increase the water supply and fire
protection for that area, and as a backup supply to the
Cape Cod Hospital. In conjunction with EDA Project, the
state had a highway safety improvement project for
the entire length of Route 28. Additional water mains
were installed by the town along areas of Route 28 that
were upgraded by the state.
The ongoing test well program of the department
has shown some areas in town where preliminary
testing indicates good quality and quantity water may
be found. Further testing will be completed by annual
town meeting and if the testing proves successful, the
town meeting will be asked to acquire the land for
wellfield purposes.
A 24 x 48 gravel packed well off Higgins Crowell
Road has been installed and contracts for constructing
the access roads and pumping station have been
awarded. It is expected that this well may be used on a
temporary basis during the 1979 year.
Under action taken by the last annual town meeting,
the department commissioned a study of the depart-
ment's current rate structure. It is expected that the
results of this study will be available at the time of the
1979 annual town meeting.
The 1979 annual town meeting will also be asked
for funds to design and construct additional office
space at the Union Street offices. The commissioners
have been in consultation with the municipal building
needs study committee and appreciate the time and
effort on their part in helping solve our space problems.
The commissioners wish to thank all of those people
who have, either individually or collectively helped the
department maintain a quality level of service. The
cooperation of other departments, agencies or govern-
ing bodies is most appreciated. We would especially
like to express our thanks to the entire staff of the
department for their continued, loyal and dedicated
service.

Report of the
BUILDING
DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town
of Yarmouth
The Building Department has had an exceptionally
busy year due to a vast change in laws concerning
building, zoning and plan reviewing on proposed
commercial and residential properties. A plan review
board was instituted whereby all commercial plans are
162
reviewed by the Inspector of Buildings, the Engineer-
ing, Fire and Board of Health departments and sugges-
tions and changes are made to the applicant before a
permit is issued.
The enforcement of the new energy code is another
time-consuming job and now a whole new building
code is being brought out in March of 1979 to go into
full effect in September, 1979.
A total of 665 permits were issued with a value total
of $13,270,827.00. New residences accounted for 275
of these, 21 commercial and 368 for additions and
alterations.
This department has four full-time and one part-time
employees to cover inspection of buildings, sign inspec-
tions, electrical inspection, sealer of weights and mea-
sures, plumbing and gas inspection, commercial and
residential occupancy permits, zoning by-law en-
forcements, physically handicapped code enforcement
and the inspection of schools, nursing homes, theatres,
and all other buildings used by the public. All of the
inspectors either carry state licenses or are certified for
the positions they hold.

Report of the
ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the Town
of Yarmouth:
In the year 1978 the accomplishments of the En-
gineering Department, as in previous years, were
numerous and varied.
Nine roads were laid out for acceptance and con-
struction; seventeen subdivision roads, or portions
thereof, were accepted mainly for drainage study pur-
poses and thirteen new subdivision roads were ac-
cepted, which were inspected by the Engineering De-
partment through all phases of construction in accor-
dance with Planning Board Rules and Regulations.
Collingwood Acres and Station Avenue and
Buckwood Drive plans and specifications were drawn
and contracts awarded. Both projects are functioning
well and have eliminated serious drainage problem
areas. Other projects for contract awards include
Brentway Drive, Pequod Circle, Pawkannawkut Drive
and South Shore Drive. Several drainage problem
areas were completed with the help of the Highway
and Sanitation Departments at considerable savings to
the Town.
Assessors maps have been continuously updated
throughout the year and site plans reviewed for their
conformance to the Zoning By -Law.
A drainage priority list has been completed and
drainage problem areas continue to receive priority
attention with the department.
I would like to express my thanks, as well as the
thanks of the Engineering Department staff, to the
citizens and other Town departments for their coopera-
tion and support.

Report of the
PARK
DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and
Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth
An area of great concern to both the Park Department
and the citizens has been the boardwalk at the Bass
Hole. This historic landmark was almost totally de-
stroyed in the great blizzard of February 1978. Due to
the time involved in acquiring the federal funds to
rebuild it, it was fall before the contract was awarded.
It seemed advisable by this time to wait until spring to
begin work, rather than risk further damage in another
winter storm. Work should begin as soon as all danger
of ice is past.
At Sea Gull Beach a boardwalk for the handicapped
was constructed from the parking lot out onto the
beach. This was done with money and labor from the
CETA program under the supervision of the Park Man-
ager. Many people have expressed their appreciation
for this walk as it makes the beach so much more
accessible for them.
New picnic tables have been placed at several of the
beaches, and more have been built to be put out next
summer.
The Park Commissioners have been working with a
group of interested citizens on a project to upgrade the
swimming program. Plans are being made to run a full
Red Cross program at Dennis Pond with a floating dock
to facilitate running more than one class at a time. We
are most anxious to see this project in action.
163
The Park Department and the Park Commissioners
always welcome comments and suggestions from the
citizens, as this is the only way we can know what is
needed.

Report of the
TREE
WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and The Citizens of Yarmouth:
During the past year fifty-one shade and flowering
trees were planted along the town roadways. These
trees were planted in areas of the town where they
could replace trees that had been removed due to
disease and decay. The trees planted were of 11/2" to 2"
caliber and varieties included Asa Reuben Maples,
Seedless Ash, Flowering Cherry, Norway Maples, and
two Zelkovia, a different variety of Elm which we
decided to try. Several trees throughout the town were
hit by automobiles during the year. These trees were
straightened, and cleaned up and the trunk painted
with tree paint as needed wherever the bark had been
torn off. One very large Maple tree was knocked com-
pletely over at the roots, but we were able to straighten
it and brace it, and it appears to have been saved.
Several trees came down during the high winds we
had last winter, especially during the February bliz-
zard. These were all cleaned up as were the many
limbs and branches that had blown down along the
roadsides.
This department also cut back row -hanging limbs
over sidewalks and in one section had to cut back a
hedge that was crowding out the sidewalk. Many in-
tersections and overgrown corners were also cut back
for clearer visibility, and one town way to the water
had to be opened up considerably, after becoming very
over -grown.
Dutch Elm Department
During the past year this department had to remove
thirty-one Elm trees. The results of samples sent to the
University of Massachusetts Spade Tree Laboratories
showed that Twelve of these had Dutch Elm disease,
five had wood decay and the rest were completely
dead from wilt and decay. Only two samples sent were
found to be sterile.
The large stumps were also removed with the stump
chipper.
The foliage spraying of remaining Elm trees took
place during the summer months in on effort to control
the Elm Leaf Beetle.
Insect Pest Control
The Nantucket Pine Tip Moth continues to be the
largest problem for this department. The timing for the
spraying of this pest is so vital, with such a large area to
be covered and weather conditions such as wind and
rain to be taken into consideration it is difficult to get
the coverage we would like, but we will continue our
efforts in roadside spraying again this year in the areas
that seem to be the hardest hit by this pest.
Many Fall Webbworms were found in trees mostly
on the South side of town and were cut from the trees.
Tent Caterpillars were found in the wild fruit trees such
as wild cherry and Beach Plum, and cut from the trees
and disposed of.
In the continuing scouting program for Gypsy Moth,
traps were put out in areas throughout the town and
some moths were found in a few of the traps. Now this
winter a few egg masses have been found on trees in
the West Yarmouth area. A close check will be kept or,�
these this Spring and spraying will follow as necessary.
The Poison Ivy spray program was conducted during
the summer months, and beach and Park areas were
sprayed once again, particularly on the roadsides
where there is much poison ivy and many pedestrians.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Police
and Highway departments for their continued co-
operation.
Sincerely,
JON L. HOLMES
Tree Warden and
Moth Superintendent

Report of the
DEPARTMENT OF
SANITATION
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens
of Yarmouth
During this year 1978 the revenue at the landfill
increased from $50,908.00 to $67,500.15. Solid
wastes increased from 159,265 cubic yards to 174,101
cubic yards. Septic pumping increased from 5,616,000
gallons to 5,761,300 gallons.
Vehicles entering the landfill skyrocketed by 59,320
vehicles this year to a record 260,291. This averages
719 vehicles per day.
As well as sanitary procedures we also recycle
newspaper, white metal, aluminum and glass. All
glass must be sorted by the colors white, green and
brown. All metal rings and caps must be removed from
the bottles.
The landfill area is open 362 days a year, closing
only for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
The Sanitation Department constantly assists other
departments and commissions of the town in the per-
formance of various projects that has saved the tax-
payers $20,157.00 this year alone.
The Sanitation Department would also like to extend
thanks to all the other departments of the town that
have assisted us this year.

Serious thought and study has gone into building a
much needed new fire station in the center of town to
better serve our community. It is hoped that within the
next two years this will become a reality.
We have worked very closely with the Capital
Budget Committee making our needs and require-
ments known for the next six years so that it may be
well planned to purchase these high cost replacements.
This would be the proper time to replace our second
ambulance because one or more years of operation on
one this old can become extremely costly. To replace
this old style ambulance with a Type I as required by
the Commonwealth requires either an addition on this
building or waiting until we have a building large
enough to house it.
Our request of last year for additional help was not.
fulfilled; therefore, we are still operating shorthanded.
Last year we had a total of 2332 fire and rescue calls
and this year we have an increase of 122. Considering
that in the year 1973 our total runs were 1438 with the
same number of personnel it has led to a considerable
amount of overtime for this department.

THE DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
COMMITTEE
It is with pleasure that the Dennis -Yarmouth Reg-
ional School District Committee submits this annual
report for the period of January 1, 1978 through De-
cember 31, 1978.
During this period, the Committee has endeavored to
continue to provide an excellent educational system,
and at the same time recognize fiscal responsibility.
The Committee, during the past year, has experi-
enced a substantial change in membership. At the
annual Town elections, Mr. Roger Cole, Miss Jo -Anne
Twohig, and Mrs. Anna Barthelmes were elected from
Yarmouth, and Mr. Warren Nelson was elected from
Dennis. In addition, Mr. Louis R. Carrier was appointed
by the Dennis Selectmen to fulfill the unexpired term of
Mrs. Phebe Carey who, regretfully, retired in May.
We welcome Dr. Kilburn Culley as our new Director
of Instruction as successor to Mr. Earl Batchelder. We
also welcome Mr. Robert Nolet, serving as our Director
of Fiscal Affairs, who has replaced Mr. James B.
Johnston.
At the annual meeting of the School District, the
Committee elected as its Chairman, Mr. Robert W. Sa-
ben, Jr.; Vice Chairman, Mrs. Alice Hofmann; District
Secretary, Miss Jo -Anne Twohig; and District Treasurer,
Mr. Edward Ahern.
The Committee acknowledges its indebtedness to the
retiring members who served tirelessly during the
transition years of regionalization. The services of Mr.
Richard Ernst, Chairman; Mrs. Phebe Carey, Vice
Chairman; and Mr. Russell Wilkins is greatly ap-
preciated.
In September the District finally realized the long-
awaited goal of single sessions at the High School, and
it is through the combined efforts of the following

individuals that this achievement was made possible
sooner than had been expected. Special thanks go to:

Mr. Daniel Nicholson, Principal, Dennis -Yarmouth Reg-

Mr. Jeffrey Hass, The Hass Corporation.
The Committee, in its capacity as trustees of the
scholarship fund is proud to have received $4,857 and
to have awarded $3,465 to assist in the continued
education of the recipients.
As a result of extensive negotiating during the past
year, the District was able to finalize three-year con-
tracts with all unions and associations, thereby
eliminating the need for any further time commitment
on the part of the School Committee and staff until
November 1980.
Our Adult Education and Community Schools
Programs continue to provide the opportunity for the
citizens to take advantage of educational offerings.

REPORT OF
JOSEPH E. KILLORY
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
It is with both pleasure and pride that I submit my
fourth annual report. Through the efforts of many
people, the children and youth are receiving an excel-
lent education as evidenced by standardized test scores
which are considerably above national norms, particu-
larly in reading and mathematics, and SAT scores
which are rising along with steadily increasing percen-
tages of graduates who have earned admission to
institutions of higher learning. Both of these are also
above state and national norms.
Our elementary schools concentrate heavily on read-
ing, writing, and arithmetic skills and we monitor their
progress closely. In addition, we provide social studies,
science, art, music and physical education. In the mid-
dle schools we continue this overall emphasis with the
addition of shop, home economics, French and
Spanish, and at the high school level the program
opportunities are extended to include business educa-
tion, industrial arts, advanced mathematics, including
computer study, and German and Latin are added to
the foreign language program. The variety of options
in all subject areas is increased, particularly in the final
two years. It was my decision to eliminate quarter
courses when I first came and I believe this has im-
proved the academic tone of the school as have the
commendable efforts by the school administrators,
supervisors, and teachers.
For the many students with special needs, we pro-
vide a comprehensive program at every grade level
utilizing trained speech therapists, psychologists,
Learning disability teachers and regular special needs
teachers. In addition, we benefit from federal funds
used to help those with less serious problems.
There is much more involved than teaching and the
efforts of many other vital staff members are required
in order that we may meet the needs of students. We
serve about half a million lunches per year, and we
must heat, clean, and maintain a multi-million dollar

plant with its extensive equipment. It takes 32,000 bus
trips a year to transport our students to and from school
in addition ro the hundreds of athletic and field trips.
We have the heavy responsibility for health service to
the 5,000 students during the school day, as well as an
extensive athletic program and extra curricular prog-
rams involving thousands of youngsters and an adult
education program which serves better than 1,500
people each semester.
Unlike most local school departments, regional
schools must pay and process all health insurance,
county, retirement, unemployment, compensation,
purchasing and payrolls. This, of course, relieves the
two town hall staffs, who formerly did this, of a consid-
erable burden and expense. In addition, we must seek
and account for millions of dollars of state and federal
money while keeping informed and in compliance
with changing state and federal laws and regulations.
Collective bargaining contracts must be negotiated
with four separate unions or associations who repre-
sent six different categories of employees, and to the
credit of all organizations, this has always been done
in a professional manner. In essence, we are a multi-
million
ulti-
million dollar business in existence for the training and
enlightenment of our children and youth which, de-
spite its frustrations, in my opinion, is the best "busi-
ness" in the world.
We must project enrollments and building needs
and at present it is clear that Yarmouth schools and the
high school plant are sufficient as far as we can "see"
into the future. Dennis, which is growing, may require
a decision for handling our over -crowded Wixon in
1981 or 1982.
The School Committee and administration face a
dual responsibility in that they must recognize their
responsibility for educating our young people while
appreciating the concerns of our inflation -plagued
taxpayers. On the latter score, we have demonstrated a
record for which we can be justly proud. Based on the
most recent Department of Education figures:
1. Yarmouth has the lowest cost per pupil of all Cape
Cod towns and is just below the state average.
2. Dennis is the second lowest on the Cape and is just
above the state average.
Most communities spend 60 to 70% of their tax
dollar on education. Even with the inclusion of the cost
of Cape Cod Tech, this year's percentages are 51 for
Yarmouth and 41 for Dennis. In essence, the taxpayers
are receiving an excellent product at reasonable prices

and .it is my hope that the citizens will continue to
support good schools and analyze the motives of those
who would recklessly decimate them under the mask
of "tax revolt".
In closing, I should like to thank the School Commit-
tee, staff, and volunteers for their help and cooperation
and the parents and students who have done so many
positive things for which we can be proud.

REPORT OF
DR. KILBURN E. CULLEY, JR.
DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION
This year the Instruction Office has been working
with department heads to develop a profile for each
course offered at the high school. Central to the profile
of each course is a list of the objectives each student
should be able to accomplish at the conclusion of the
course. This puts our curriculum emphasis on the out-
come of courses, rather than on day to day activities.
We have begun looking at some of our elementary
and middle school courses in the same way. It is ex-
pected that this approach will help us achieve
District -wide consistency and continuity without sac-
rificing the flexibility teachers need to work with each
student and each group of students in the most effec-
tive ways.
The Instruction Office continues to work with the
District In -Service Committee to oversee the profes-
sional improvement programs of teachers and to offer
courses within the District. This year courses have been
offered under the auspices of Lesley College and Wor-
cester State Col lege in the area of improving classroom
management and health education. Workshops have
also been conducted on calculator education, reading
172
1 1 2,351
enrichment, sex education; and a series of workshops
on metric education is planned. A new workshop
evaluation system has been introduced to help us de-
termine which courses and speakers are most effective,
so that improvements can be planned for future in-
service programs.
Community Education and Adult Education have con-
tinued to make significant contributions to the overall
educational effort of the District. Through Community
Education a variety of after-school and weekend ac-
tivities have been offered to students, their parents,
and other interested citizens. These have included re-
creational, athletic, social, artistic, crafts, and cultural
activities, as well as academic programs. Through
Community Education, artistic performing groups have
again been brought to the schools. Adult Education has
sponsored courses in practical arts, maintenance,
crafts, and athletics, plus academic and occupational
subjects. We estimate that by the close of the school
year in June, upwards of 6,000 people (students, pa-
rents, teachers, community residents) will have been
involved in one or more Community Education prog-
rams and that approximately 2,000 people (primarily
community residents) will have been involved in Adult
Education.
We have continued to operate a number of programs
under state and federal funding, including the Partners
in Education Project (PEP) for the parents of pre-school
children and a number of vocational -occupational
education projects. Several additional proposals will
be submitted for funding this year as the Instruction
Office attempts to help augment town funding sources
so that quality school programs can be introduced,
strengthened, and expanded without placing undue
stress on local resources.
Finally, the Instruction Office is centrally involved in
designing and implementing the process by which the
Dennis -Yarmouth Schools will comply with the state
requirements for testing and assuring student compe-
tency in the basic communication and mathematics
skills.
REPORT OF
THOMAS M. LA GRASTA,
COORDINATOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES
The Special Needs Program has continued to im-
prove during the past year. The quality of the Special
Needs Program can be measured, partly, by the recog-
nition that we have received by professional organiza-
tion, the Department of Education and other school
districts.
The Massachusetts Chapter of the International
Council for Exceptional Children chose the Special
Needs Program at the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle
School as one of the ten outstanding programs at the
middle school level in Massachusetts. The program
was included in a publication produced by the Council
for Exceptional Children and distributed to special
educators throughout the state.
The Department of Education awarded the Dennis -
Yarmouth Regional School District a federal grant to
conduct a summer workshop. Selected staff were cho-
sen to begin work on a curriculum for special needs
students at the middle and high school level. When
completed this curriculum can be adopted by all com-
munities on Cape Cod.
The staff of the Special Needs Program has been
invited to participate at numerous workshops through-
out Southeastern Massachusetts to share many of the
exemplary practices that have been conducted as a
result of Chapter 766. The program to screen pre-school
children for special needs was selected by the Depart-
ment of Education for inclusion in an all day workshop
conducted in the Spring. The Adolescent Training Prog-
ram at the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School was
recognized by officials of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare for its effectiveness in providing
community programs for students who formerly re -
173
sided in state institutions for the mentally retarded.
Other special needs staff members have been selected
by the Department of Education to serve on audit
teams, which have the responsibility of evaluating the
special needs programs of other school districts.
During this past year efforts have been made to
improve the vocational experiences of special needs
students. With monies from a federal grant, the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District has con-
tracted with Nauset Workshop to provide in -school
benchwork for selected students at the N. H. Wixon,
Mattacheese and Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High
School. These students will be paid by Nauset Work-
shop for work that is completed. The significance of this
program is that it will provide the students with actual
work experiences as part of their school program.
Increased federal funding has stabilized the special
needs budget while allowing for expansion of services
to special needs children. Federal monies were used to
expand the pre -vocational program for special needs
children at the Mattacheese Middle School. A school
psychologist was employed at the elementary school
level to improve evaluation and counselling services
for children.
For the future, efforts will continue to improve upon
present practices and programs and to maintain the
positive climate that exists for special needs children in
the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District.
REPORT OF
ROBERT J. G. BARLOW
DISTRICT SUPERVISOR OF MATHEMATICS/SCIENCE
Since my arrival with the District staff in March, 1978
and a period of familiarization with the staff, their
concerns and needs, and the operating procedures of
our District, I have been able to divide activities of this
office into mathematics and science priorities.
An early priority of the Mathematics/Science Office
has been the defining and refining of an effective
system for the development of the science -related reg-
ional testing program to an operational level as effec-
tive and efficient as the earlier -developed mathema-
tics regional testing program model.
Of related concern has been the most effective use of
the data collected to help improve the instructional
programs in mathematics and science. To that end this
office has provided ancVor actively solicited teacher
comments at all stages of the testing program. Periodic
regular meetings of the regional mathematics staff
have proven an excellent place for teachers to ex-
change information and concerns which relate to our
children's mathematics education. (A corresponding
series with the science staff will begin in early 1979).
A major priority of this office has been the develop-
ment and use of machinery by which teaching staff
members can express their judgments on newly de-
veloped text materials in mathematics and science. The
summation of their judgments provided invaluable
preliminary information leading to my decision to
move to standardize books in use by the school district
at a given grade level.
Effective in-service education programs consisting of
in -district workshops and attendance at appropriate
local and regional meetings of mathematics and sci-
ence groups are central to supporting the growth and
development of our staff. It will be the policy of this
office to continue to encourage attendance and partici-
pation at such meetings and to do what it can to support
those activities by our staff. Additionally, this office has
scheduled one in-service program in mathematics dur-
ing the Fall and has completed planning for a major
in-service program in the area of metric education to
take place in early 1979.
A major district accomplishment in the area of cur-
riculum has been the production of a test model kin-
dergarten curriculum by a staff committee under the
direction of Dr. D'Abre, with input in the area of
mathematics and science from this office. In a related
development which expresses our commitment that
parents be an integral part of the educative process, the
Mathematics/Science Office has worked with the coor-
dinator of PEP in district elementary schools.
By the close of 1978, the first round of evaluation
visits with the appropriate follow-up conferences will
be virtually complete with district staff in mathematics
and science.
I appreciate the cooperation, active encouragement,
and assistance rendered to me this year by School
• Committee members, District Teaching Staff, and
Community members. It has made the job of the "new
• boy on the block" much easier.
REPORT OF
DR. THERESE J. D'ABRE
DISTRICT SUPERVISOR OF COMMUNICATIVE ARTS
The Communicative Arts Department's emphasis on
integrating reading, writing, and thinking skills at the
elementary level has proven to be an effective cur-
riculum plan. We have refined and improved our
periodic assessments, Regional Tests. Teachers and
administrators can find student strengths and weak-
nesses in time to provide for or to remediate more
challenging work.
A vocabulary program has been added to the
curriculum for grades 3 through 8. The high school's
vocabulary program has been refined. This additional
attention to direct instruction and testing of vocabulary
results from the District's commitment to vocabulary as
a basic tool for competent reading ability.
A proposal to regionalize the commercial reading
materials from grades 1 through 3 was made, after a
year's investigation, to and accepted by the School
Committee. This action completes a three-year plan for
regional commercial materials which complement the
regional communicative arts curriculum from grades 1
through 12.
The kindergarten area has been studied intensively
during the year. A committee of teachers, adminis-
trators, and school psychologists working under the
leadership of the Communicative Arts Coordinator
produced a Kindergarten Curriculum Guide which is
being used and evaluated this year. This guide repre-
sents the first unifying effort for the District's kindergar-
tens. The guide has been critiqued by members of our
staff and by other school district staffs. The responses
have been very favorable and we have had many
requests for duplication privileges.
The Coordinator continues to provide workshops and
conferences for teachers at all grade levels, to help
identify students with problems in the Communicative
Arts, to provide instructional plans to remediate or
challenge individual students, to help supervise the
Title I Program, and to coordinate curriculum plans
with the Mathematics and Science Coordinator.

REPORT OF
PETER A. GAVIN
COORDINATOR OF BUILDINGS, GROUNDS & TRANS-
PORTATION
This position was formulated in the beginning of
1977 under the supervision of the Director of Fiscal
Affairs office. The required qualifications were a col-
lege degree in engineering, business management or
substantial experience in related areas. The Scope of
Work is to maintain the buildings and grounds in such
a manner as to provide adequate, safe and sanitary
buildings at reasonable cost to the taxpayers and to
insure that the District's transportation program pro-
vides safe transportation on a timely basis at a reason-
able cost.
The Performance Responsibilities in general are as
follows:
1. Coordinate building maintenance and repair prog-
ram for the District with each Complex Supervisor.
2. Develop long-term maintenance procedures for
each school.
3. Develop, improve or revise daily custodial work
programs in consultation with the Complex Super-
visor and School Principals.
4. Prepare public bid specifications documents for
purchase of custodial supplies and equipment and
for contractural services in the architectural, struc-
tural, or mechanical services of the buildings.
5. Coordinate with the Director of Fiscal Affairs to ad-
minister a contractural transportation program to
meet all the requirements of the daily instructional
program and extra -curricular activities.
6. Act as liaison with parents on complaints or special
bus requests.
7. Perform other duties as assigned by the Director of
Fiscal Affairs.
The year 1978 was constructively rewarding to the
Office of Buildings, Grounds and Transportation with
the satisfactory performance of our forty-four custodial
employees in our school district and with the contracted
works in building and grounds improvements. There
has been more actual preventative maintenance work
performed by our custodial personnel than ever before.
An Energy Conservation plan was introduced and en-
couraged in 1977 and it is now showing cooperation
and dollar savings.
A CETA group was obtained to help with miscel lane-
ous carpentry, exterior caulking and painting. The ex-
terior siding, sash and doors of the Marguerite E. Small
Elementary School was painted with CETA labor at a
great savings.
A most substantial saving was realized at the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School in the installa-
tion of a new regulation size Soccer field. CETA people
again were used in cutting trees, removing brush and
loam raking. Town -owned equipment from Dennis
and Yarmouth was generously loaned in excavating
and moving material, spreading and grading the loam
topping. The field is grassed and will be ready for the
first official soccer game in 1979.
Another substantial saving to the taxpayers was
realized in the renovation of the "Wood Wings" of the
John Simpkins Elementary School. This work was ar-
chitect specified and publicly bid but was very much
over the $60,000 budget. This office, Buildings and
Grounds, acted as the General Contractor and did re-
model and renovate the "Wood Wings" structure
within the budget limits.
Maintenance and improvements were continued in
1978 with the installation of a new asphalt shingle
roof and exterior painting at the South Yarmouth
Elementary School. One wing of the Ezra H. Baker
Elementary School was also reroofed. A new black -top
surface and drainage was installed at the M. E. Small
Elementary School parking lot and roadway.
The year of 1978 showed continuous improvements
to the heating and ventilating systems in the school
district with an organized maintenance program. Also,
175
energy savings electrical fixtures and lamps have been
installed in several schools.
A new bus transportation contract was bid and
signed by the Director of Fiscal Affais with two local
firms for a period of five (5) years. The new two-tier
busing started with the September school opening.
In summary, the year 1978 was a productive, con-
structively satisfying year for the office of Buildings,
Grounds and Transportation in the Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional School District.
REPORT OF
ALAN E. DECOURCEY
FOOD SERVICE COORDINATOR
It is with great pleasure that I submit my first report
as Food Services Coordinator for the Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional School District. In the year 1978, the Food
Services Department served over 650,000 meals to the
students in the Dennis -Yarmouth District. This was a
marked increase over the previous year and should be
attributed to the implementation of a modified serving
system at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School,
coupled with the introduction of a breakfast program to
all schools in the District.
In October of 1978, the District was forced to increase
the price of school lunch from thirty-five cents to forty
cents. This was done to offset spiraling food and labor
costs. During the summer of 1978, the Congress of the
United States amended Public Law 95-166 to allow the
"Offer vs. Serve" program to be utilized at the middle
school level to reduce plate waste. The Dennis -
Yarmouth Regional School Committee unanimously
approved the Offer vs. Serve concept for the Mat-
tacheese and Wixon Schools. By offering a choice in the
school lunch program we hope to eliminate the plate
waste which currently plagues the school lunch pro-
gram. I hope to have this program fully operational by
February of 1979.
The future of School Lunch lies in nutrition education
at all levels. In the years to come, there will be a strong
effort by the United States Department of Agriculture to
educate our children formally in all aspects of nutrition.
At present we in the Dennis -Yarmouth School District
are doing this informally in the cafeterias and clas-
srooms of the elementary schools. Student involvement
in the school lunch process is necessary for a successful
program and we are presently making arrangements
to form "Eaters Advisory Teams" (E.A.T.) at the high and
middle school levels.
In February of 1978, the District opened its.commis-
sary bakery at the Mattacheese School for dessert pro-
duction only. At present we are striving to improve our
dessert selection and maintain an equitable average
portion cost. We are currently producing almost forty-
five hundred baked desserts each day.
Generally, 1978 has been a year of careful planning
in anticipation of 1979 which will be a year of im-
plementation. We hope that all the effort expended by
the Food Services staff will give the children of the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District the type of
School Food Service Program that they deserve.
REPORT OF
DANIEL W. NICHOLSON, PRINCIPAL
DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
The first of several steps in returning the high school
to a normal operation was accomplished in September
1978. A return to a single -session school day—a prior-
ity item for several years—became feasible a full year
ahead of schedule. It was a welcomed change for
students, teachers, and parents alike.
Construction of the new additions to the high school,
coupled with the extensive renovation, continued at a
rapid pace. The new Library, Business, and English
wing was occupied at the beginning of the 1978-79
school year. Within two months thereafter, students
were allowed to move into portions of the Music, Art,
and Home Economics Wing.
The great extent of renovation designed in the Sci-
ence, Foreign Language and Industrial Arts area was
completed during the summer months. At this point,
the communities should see the completion of the en-
tire project prior to the opening of another school year.
Academically, the curriculum and instruction at the
high school continued to be both upgraded and
stabilized. All objective criteria of assessment of stu-
dent achievement indicate much improvement. S.R.A.
testing in grades 9 and 10 was implemented totally for
the first time, and give a promising picture for coming
years. P.S.A.T. results for our Sophomores and Juniors
were good. S.A.T. scores, commonly referred to as "col-
lege boards", reflected substantial gains over past
years. Reason for such improvement is directly at-
tributable to a positive change in student attitude and
effort with a conscientious quality performance by the
teaching staff.
Of particular note was the selection of a Dennis -
Yarmouth student as a National Merit Finalist along
with Merit Commendations for six other students. Also,
during the year, many D -Y graduates were granted
176
admission to several outstanding colleges including
M.I.T., Dartmouth, Smith, Wesleyan, Wheaton, Bates,
Brandeis, Duke, Cornell, Colby, Brown, and Trinity,
along with many others too numerous to mention.
There were several outstanding highlights at the
high school during the past twelve months. In the
Spring a group of D -Y students initiated an exchange
visit with a school in Germany. Their stay in Germany
for a period of four weeks allowed for the opportunity
to live with a German family, attend a German school
and gain a first-hand exposure to the German lan-
guage, culture, and life.
Twenty-seven German students returned the visit to
Dennis -Yarmouth during the fall months. Their active
participation in the school, the classes, and the com-
munities was an exciting and rewarding experience
for all involved.
Athletically, Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School
had its most outstanding year. For the first time in its
history, the Varsity Hockey team made its way through
the playoffs to reach the quarter finals in the State
Tournament.
The spring was captivated in watching the success of
the Dennis -Yarmouth Baseball team. The team went
all the way to the finals for the State championship
only to lose out in late innings in Worcester.
Not to be outdone, the Soccer team duplicated the
feat in the fall. Long considered a strong and exciting
program, the Soccer team brought to the school—and
the communities—a pride of performance and ac-
complishment never achieved in the past.
The Cross Country and Golf programs continued to
attain State recognition as exemplary programs. Both
teams found themselves in the familiar position of
final competition in State Tournaments.
All other sports, particularly Girls' Athletics, con-
tinued to thrive despite limited athletic facilities. As in
the past, the character and sportsmanship displayed by
all D -Y athletic teams have been of the highest quality.
In general, the discipline within the school has been
strengthened, student spirit has become more positive,
and the overall school picture increasingly reflective of
the improved facilities. Teacher performance—in light
of the confusion of construction, delays in equipment,
and everyday inconveniences of faulty bells, alarm
testing, and shuffled classrooms—has been consis-
tently high.
Summarily, 1978 has proven to be trying, tiring,
improving, and generally successful.

DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
SCHOLARSHIP FUND TRUSTEES
The Trustees of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional
School District Scholarship Fund have been most
gratified to receive donations totaling nearly $13,700
since graduation, 1977. In December, notification was
received of the establishment of a fund to be desig-
nated the Ann Castonguay Memorial Scholarship. It is
the desire of the A. Harold Castonguays to perpetuate
the annual scholarship which has been given for three
decades in memory of Ann Castonguay. The heartfelt
thanks of the District were expressed to the magnanim-
ous donors of this gift amounting to more than
$11,500, the income from which will be disbursed
annually to a deserving graduate.
Additionally, the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce
has presented $100.00 to be awarded to a graduate
living in the Town of Yarmouth in pursuit of advanced
business training. Also received have been nearly
$1,000—the proceeds of a fund-raising drive for a
dramatic production—and more than $780.00 given
in memory of Rita D. Winship; a revered long-time
teacher. The former has been set aside for a graduate
who has excelled in the Performing Arts; the latter will
be used to provide Citizenship Awards for students
who have completed the fourth grade at Ezra H. Baker
School.
It was the honor of the Trustees to award over $3,500
at Commencement, 1977, in cash gifts and in scholar-
ships to be forwarded to the schools of the recipients
choice. On the recommendation of Guidance Depart -
180
ment personnel, selected top-ranking students were
each presented a thesaurus at Awards Night. Payment
from the Scholarship Fund have in excess of $4,100,
comprised of the 1977 awards and two from a prior
year.
As in the past, the Trustees have realized the satisfac-
tion of having been able—through the continuing
kindness and generostiy of individuals and
organizations—to assist worthy graduates in the furth-
erance of their education.
Report of the
MATTACHEESE
MIDDLE SCHOOL
DONALD F. ELDREDGE, ACTING PRINCIPAL
I make this report on behalf of Gary A. Getchell,
Principal of Mattacheese Middle School, who is on
sabbatical leave for the duration of the 1978-79 school
year. As Acting Principal for this period, it has become
my function to administer, supervise and maintain the
educational programs established under the able
leadership of Mr. Getchell.
The Mattacheese Middle School is continuing to pro-
vide for the intellectual, physical and social needs of
the 800 emerging adolescents who pass through its
doors each day. This figure represents a decrease of
approximately 35 pupils below last year's enrollment.
For the past few years, we have realized that for
many fifth graders the transition from the relatively
sheltered environment of the elementary schools to the
more cosmopolitan setting of the middle school was a
difficult one, causing confusion, frustration and bewil-
derment to our new sixth graders. This year, Mr. Getch-
ell, working in cooperation with the elementary school
principals and teachers of grades five and six, initiated
a successful reorganization of the sixth grade at
Mattcheese. As a result, it is now possible for a new
sixth grader to be placed in a self-contained classroom
with one teacher, or to be assigned to two, three, four or
five different teachers. Placement decisions are based
primarily upon the recommendations of fifth grade
teachers after careful observation and analysis of each
child's social maturity level and his ability to success-
fully adjust to life at Mattacheese.
Grades seven and eight continue to operate under a
modified team -teaching "school -within -a -school" con-
cept. Individual faculty members are divided into
academic teams, two in grade seven and two in grade
eight and one related arts team. Pupil meet each
academic teacher once daily and spend a double
period each day in related arts classes.
Team teaching, as it functions at Mattacheese, fo-
cuses itself totally upon the pupils. The philosophy is
that the more knowledge a team of teachers can amass
about an' individual student's needs, the better educa-
tional plan can be to meet those needs. Grouping is a
changing, dynamic activity planned to create for each
student the optimum learning atmosphere. Varied
groupings are possible from subject to subject accord-
ing to readiness, maturity, skills, interest, achievement
and need.
The end of the regular school day usually finds up-
wards of 200 pupils engaged in after-school activities
until 4:30 P.M. Tennis, soccer, field hockey, flag foot-
ball, football, basketball, softball, baseball, track and
field and gymnastics provide for the athletic needs of
the student body while our highly successful
Mattcheese Players provide an opportunity for self-
expression in the theater arts.

Report of the
JOHN SIMPKINS
SCHOOL
GEORGE A. CROSS, PRINCIPAL
The doors of our school opened in September with
four hundred thirty-nine Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade
students, the renovations and site work complete and
now part of the past. Students returned to educational
settings that were developed and planned to meet a
variety of individual needs.
The main educational goal that was seen as our
objective this year was to expand upon the regular
curriculum areas to challenge and provide for those
that were prepared; programs that would broaden
their frame of reference and give them social, emo-
tional, physical and academic experiences that open
181
new horizons. The process began a year before with
teachers and administrators participating in learning
experiences that would bring forth these different
programs with strong knowledge of why they were
needed and how to develop.
One different program that has been initiated is
Junior Great Books that has students participating in
small discussion groups with a teacher exploring a
variety of selected readings for enjoyment, meaning,
and interpretation of both their own and author's ideas
and feelings. This program does not take the place of
the normal curriculum, but expands upon it. Another
facet of our new pursuits was the thorough screening,
testing and encouragement of students to pursue a
musical program that includes strings, percussion,
reed, brass and vocal through individual and group
instruction as an addition to the basic music program.
Over one hundred fifty students have participated in
this program and have shared their experiences and
new skills with audiences of parents, senior citizens
and nursing homes.
The Art Program was expanded to include creativity
and enrichment groups to explore mediums, materials
that encourage individual pursuits from carving, sew-
ing and pottery to sketching through exploratory les-
sons.
The normal school day with its full programs found
our Community Schools Coordinator, John Kelly, and
our Advisory Council providing enrichment programs
for students in baking, dramatics, physical fitness,
gymnastics, bowling, and swimming. Also, a family
trip to the Museum of Science and a forum with our
Park and Recreation Departments for developing new
programs. The school's function was expanded to in-
clude many community uses from a meeting and re-
creation facility to a center of community involvement.
Our community awareness was expanded this year
with the participation of our Fourth Grade in a day visit
to the restored Baxter Mill in West Yarmouth, an ex-
perience that brought history to life for parents,
teachers, and students.
As time moves on, certain individuals leave the
teaching profession. This year our school lost the ser-
vices of Mr. Richard G. LaPorte who, for twenty-seven
years, has dedicated himself to enriching children's
lives through music. Many students, parents, and
teachers have shared in his positive enthusiastic man-
ner and relish those memories. We join in wishing him
enjoyable retirement.
The challenge of education never ends and needs
the work and support of parents, teachers, and students
for the lessons learned today are the steps of our future.

Report of the
MARGUERITE SMALL ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL
CHARLES T. ORLOFF, PRINCIPAL
It is with pleasure that I submit the annual report of
the Marguerite E. Small School. Twelve months have
passed and once again I am faced with the same
recurring question: How much of what we have done
with our pupils really counts in life; how much of it
makes sense to them; how much of it really matters?
With calendar in hand, for my benefit as well as yours,
I would like to briefly outline the highlights of last year.
Winter 1978 came on with a fury unequalled in
recent times. While snow, wind and cold closeted the
majority of people in the state, M.E. Small's fifth grade
students packed up their belongings and moved to the
National Seashore in Truro for a week of outdoor edu-
cation in the N.E.E.D. Collaborative Program. This was
a rare and exciting opportunity for students to study
their natural environment in its most awesome and
challenging state.
Back at school students continued in a variety of
academic and cultural pursuits. Mr. Robert Rushor, one
of many dedicated volunteers, guided small groups of
students in their work with the abacus while second
and third grade students studied and memorized
poetry with Ms. Katherine Fitzgerald, a retired school
principal and indispensable assistant to our staff.
These were only two of many supplementary programs
for our children.
School continued into Saturday morning at which
time students participated in gymnastics, floor hockey,
basketball, crafts, woodworking, cooking and drama-
tics. The Community Advisory Council who sponsored
these activities under the direction of Mr. Richard Nor-
ton and Josephine Ladner also conducted its first family
day trip. One hundred forty parents and children spent
a delightful day at the Museum of Science in Boston,
highlighted by a visit to its famous planetarium.
Spring found students and teachers busily at work
preparing plays and skits for parents and guests. For
quite some time the school has had a committment to
give each and every child the opportunity to participate
182
in an assembly program during the school year. For
many parents and students the memories of these
events will last forever. It was exciting to culminate
these performances with a series of workshops con-
ducted by none other than the Pocket Mime Theatre of
Boston. There is no measure of the incentive gained
from watching professional theatre in your own back
yard.
The school year closed with hundreds of parents and
children enjoying a day of entertainment, games and
activities. Marylou Dunbar and many other members
of the Advisory Council organized the Small's Big Car-
nival. It was an overwhelming success.
Fall was quick to arrive and everyone was eager to
get underway. The massive job of painting and stain-
ing the entire outside of the building had just been
completed as Harry Wilbur, our Complex Supervisor,
put the final fittings on the new weather instruments
high atop the roof of the school. Below in the courtyard
five Russian ducks, six chickens, one large turkey and
two brown bunnies readied themselves for winter.
Three new courses were added to the school's prog-
ram specifically designed as a challenge for highly
motivated and academically talented youngsters.
Cape Cod History taught by Jade Auger and a Natural
History Museum course on birds were both offered as
after-school activities. Meteorology, or the "Weather
Club," involved children in observing, studying and
recording the local weather. All three courses involved
children in hands-on study and related field trips.
The "Authors in the Schools" program was a high-
light of the fall and will continue throughout the year.
Organized by Patricia Philbrook and the Cape Cod
Writers' Conference, the program will bring five diffe-
rent authors to the school this year. Children will read
and discuss each author's books and then meet the
author face to face.
Finding that I have now run out of my al loted space, I
realize that by hitting the highlights I have only
touched upon the core. The hundreds of lessons and
activities that make up a school program could never
be outlined in a report such as this. Yet, what I have
reviewed is reflective of what we are trying to do.
The success of our schools will be directly traceable to
our recognition that the student is a total person whose
intellectual, physical and social capabilities must be
developed in a unified way. The programs described in
this article are necessary steps in the process of helping
each student prepare for life.

SCHOOL
JAMES J. CLARKE, JR., PRINCIPAL
It is a pleasure to submit my report as Principal of the
South Yarmouth Elementary School. At South Yarmouth
we are presently housing
Kindergarten 98
Grade One 94
Grade Two 129
We are now able to meet the needs of most children
through traditional, self-contained classrooms, transi-
tional first grade, multi-age groups and team-
teaching—all taking place in the same building. We
also have Special Needs personnel for children requir-
ing extra attention.
Under the direction of Peter Regan, a very successful
Title I Summer Program was held at South Yarmouth
Elementary School. During the school year a Title I
teacher works in the regular classroom with the chil-
dren. In this way we can evaluate short and long-range
progress and give the children continuous help year-
round.
So much depends on the first few years of school that
we try and prepare the children so it will be a happy
and successful experience. For the last two years, Mrs.
Nancy Hathaway has been heading a program called
P.E.P., Partners in Education Project. The main purpose
183
is to increase communication between the school and
the home. To have the pre-school children and parent
in the school so that they will be comfortable in that
environment. The children are registered for Kinder-
garten in April and interviewed by their prospective
teacher in May. In September we do an informal ap-
praisal of each child, a visual and hearing test and
observe each child in a small group activity. We also
have our physical education teacher present to test the
children in basic skills.
Informal and standardized testing has taken place
during the year. The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts is
given in October and April to the Kindergarten. The
Metropolitan Readiness Test is given to the Kindergar-
ten in May. The Initial Survey Test is given to the First
Grade in September. The S.R.A. Achievement Series is
given in May to the First and Second grades. The scores
and an explanation of these tests are available from
your child's teacher.

The Community School Advisory Council and the
South Yarmouth Parents' Council, being the same
group, have been a great help to the schools. John
Kelly, our Community School Coordinator, has been
very active in developing new programs. The Council ,
itself has been involved in Open House, Homeroom
Mothers, volunteers, the Scrimshaw II, which is the
children's newspaper, an informative booklet, and
many more very useful activities. I would ask other
parents to join and support this group.
This year we were able to paint the exterior of the
building and shingle the roof. Routine maintenance
took place on and in the building. As the building
grows older, it will, of course, require more extensive
maintenance.
I would like to thank the teaching staff, the secreta-
rial, cafeteria and custodial staffs who, with the assis-
tance of countless community helpers, have made this
a successful year for our children. They create the
happy atmosphere that makes learning enjoyable at
South Yarmouth Elementary School.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
WILLIAM F. GRIFFITH, PRINCIPAL.
It is with pleasure that I submit my annual report as
principal of the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School.
With approximately 630 students enrolled, our
building is using all available rooms as classroom
areas. The addition of the fifth grade to our school has
filled our building to capacity. These students have
adjusted well and share most of the experiences as
provided for the other grades. The response to this
move by parents has been positive, and the attendance
of parents of students of all grades at our annual Open
House, in observance of National Education Week, was
very gratifying.
Some of the academic highlights of this year were:
the implementation of a heterogeneous, self-contained
class in grade 6, the continued study and use of a more
expanded heterogeneous grouping structure in grades
7 and 8, and the movement of the SAIL program to a
different time slot so that it would allow us more flexi-
bility in teachers' schedules. During the past year, our
Special Needs program received commendation as one
of ten best in the State.
The Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School Community
Education Program, with the efforts of the coordinator,
Mrs. Marjorie Hardy, enjoyed much success, especially
in the area of adult education courses, and a number of
interesting after-school programs for Wixon students.
Some of the student programs included: skating, bowl-
ing, disco dancing and an on -location art program, etc.
These were complemented by family trips to the Sci-
ence and Art Museums in Boston. At the end of the
school year a family field trip was held and was most
successful. Performing arts groups, sponsored by the
Community Education Program, have been brought to
the school for student enjoyment and edification.
184
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the
Dennis Police, Fire, and Highway departments for their
contributions this past year. The Nathaniel H. Wixon
Middle School has been fortunate to have the services
of Officer "Skip" Campbell, who has conducted many
varied safety programs for the benefit of our students.
The staffs of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High
School and the Cape Cod Regional Technical School
were once again most helpful in preparing our 8th
grade students for entrance into their respective
schools.

WALTER S. MORLEY, PRINCIPAL
"New occasions teach new duties;
time makes ancient good uncouth; ..."
A few years ago mixing boys and girls in physical
education classes was unthinkable; today physical
education classes are completely integrated. James
Russell Lowell, I am sure, had no thought of such things
when he wrote his lines, but he must have anticipated
the questioning his words would inspire in minds
which, noting the departure of time-honored practices,
note also the insignificant effect of their departure.
Perhaps the answer lies in one's understanding that the
value of anything is based upon present need. A cup of
water is a blessing too thirst -crazed desert traveler; it is
a curse to a drowning man.
The Ezra H. Baker School had an enrollment of 760
pupils on October 1, 1978. This is an increase of five
over the figures for the same date in 1977. Subsequent
changes show no parallels, however. By December 1,
1977, enrollment had increased by twenty pupils; on
December 1, 1978, it had decreased by three.
In support of the maintenance of academic and so-
cial excellence, the school has devoted a great deal of
thought and energy to the formalization and expan-
sion of health and safety programs: and curriculum -
related field trips. For their support of the former, we
are grateful to the Police Department and the Fire
Department of the Town of Dennis, to the Cape Cod
Council on Alcoholism, and to the Southeastern Mas-
sachusetts Lung Association. For the majority of our
field trips, we accept with appreciation the cooperation
of municipal agencies and area businesses. Then, for
their generosity in providing transportation, we thank
the several parents who graciously contribute their
time and their cars. Their participation makes our ex-
panded field trip program possible.
The Community Education and Partners in Education
Programs continue to bring home and school closer
together through workshops, informational programs,
and after-school activities. The work of Mr. Laurence C.
MacArthur in the former and Mrs. Nancy Hathaway in
the latter is highly commendable.
I wish to thank publicly all the members of the school
staff, the volunteers who lighten the teacher's work,
and the parents who understand the complexities of
education for creating in the Ezra H. Baker School a
spirit of friendliness and cooperation which is academ-
ically and socially unique. I thank, also, two teachers
who have retired from public education, Mrs. Estelle
Wardell in 1976 and Mrs. Alice Edgerton in 1978, for
their good and faithful service. Their school remembers
them and wishes a happy retirement for them.
Thank you, too, Mr. Killory, for a continuing produc-
tive relationship.

Report of the
CAPE COD
REGIONAL
TECHNICAL
HIGH SCHOOL
The year 1978 at Cape Cod Tech can best be de-
scribed as a year of change. When we first opened our
doors in September of 1975, we started with a student
enrollment of 950 even though the building has been
185
designed for a maximum of 800 students. It was the
hope of the committee and the administration that
there would be some flexibility in the size of the build-
ing to enable us to accommodate in excess of 900
students during the school day.
After two and a half years of experience it became
very clear to the administration and the school commit-
tee that we really could not accommodate over nine
hundred pupils in the building at one time so, there-
fore, a plan to phase down to the designed 800 -student
school was projected. This reduction in student enrol I-
ment would take place along with a change in the
method by which we taught the theoretical aspects of
vocational education. Actually the change in
methodology was simply a realization that there is
some basic information which all occupations need:
such as Basic Business Practices, Drafting, Blueprint
Reading, Technical Drawing, Safety and Health Re-
quirements. The committee hired specialists to teach
these common courses, and continued to use certified
vocational teachers to teach those technical skills that
were unique to each individual trade. I am happy to
report at this time that this new method has proven to
be an improvement because it allows the shop teacher
to actually teach the theoretical aspect of the particular
skills that he and the students will be working with
during the following week. There have been some
problems as you will find with any change, and we
will continue to make refinements where necessary. A
reduction of the number of students in the shops at any
one time has definitely been an improvement in the
effectiveness of vocational education.
Other activities that took place during the Spring of
1978 was the tremendous response that some of our
shops received while they were set up in the Cape Cod
Mall during Vocational Education Week, and also the
response we got from our participation in the Annual
Boat Show conducted by the Boat Dealers Association
of Cape Cod. The students certainly appreciated the
opportunity to provide the public with information as to
what we do at Cape Cod Tech.
For the first time this year Cape Cod Tech did accept
some tuition students from the Town of Mashpee,—ten
to be exact, and we were happy to be able to afford
those students in Mashpee an opportunity for voca-
tional education. Our local students have the first op-
portunity for the available seats, and if there is room in
a particular department it is beneficial to our member
towns to accept students to fill up all departments.
The Cape Cod Tech basketball team qualified for the
state tournaments last Spring, and although they lost in
the semi-finals we were happy for our team members
to have had that experience.
We held our third graduation in June of 1978, and I
am happy to report that 115 males and 54 females
graduated, for a total of 169. The placement of these
graduates as of the end of the school year is as follows:
10 students into the Armed Forces, 6 students returned
to Cape Cod Tech for post -graduate instruction, 20
students went to a 2 -year school of higher education,
and four went into a four-year college. Seventy five
students had jobs in the trade for which they were
educated, and 30 students took jobs outside their area
of skill. Unfortunately 23 students for one reason or
another were unemployed as of July 1978, and al-
though I do not have specific numbers I feel sure most
of them are now working. Owing to the fact that some
of these students were here for one, two or three years, I
think the placement was excellent.
During the Fall of 1978 the Horticultural department
has been very busy in the restoration of the Gilmore
House on Route 124 into a Garden Center, which we
think will be a decided improvement to the entrance to
our school.
We were also very fortunate this Fall to do many
more student projects for the member towns which are
of benefit financially to the towns, and of educational
benefit to our students.
During the budget development for the next school
year we appreciated the participation of the Finance
Committees from each of our member towns. Represen-
tatives met with our Finance Sub -committee in the
development of the new budget. Two decisions were
made by the Cape Cod Tech committee that do have an
effect upon the fiscal 1980 budget, that being the
introduction of a Commercial Fishing program, and the
realization that the Adult Education program must be
partially subsidized by the member towns insofar as
administrative and overhead costs are concerned. We
feel that the utilization of our building by adults of our
communities is in keeping with the intent of the crea-
tion of the school. Greater utilization of the building
will enable us to spread our fixed costs over a greater
number of students.
Cape Cod Tech Cross Country team were the Cape
and Islands champions this year and we are very
pleased with the dedication of both the team members
and the coaching staff.
We did have tragedy in November when our Voca-
tional Coordinator, Warren Mazanec, passed away. He
had a tremendous impact on the school and is sorely
missed.
Paul Hackett, Special Needs Coordinator, who had
been with us since 1973, resigned this year to take a
new position in the State of New York. We wish him
well in that new opportunity.
186
We had two changes in our committee membership
this year. Mrs. Ann M. Williams replaced Winthrop V.
Wilbur, Jr., from the Town of Barnstable; and Edward
P. Anderson replaced Phyllis S. Thompson from the
Town of Chatham. We welcome the new members and
thank those members that left for their assistance dur-
ing the years they represented their towns.
We again wish to thank the people from the R.S.V.A.
program here on Cape Cod for their assistance in the
multitude of tasks that have to be done. We especially
want to thank the members of the Advisory Commit-
tees that have been meeting, and will continue to meet
with the teachers in our trades, to make sure that the
education that takes place at Cape Cod Tech is mean-
ingful so that our students will be able to participate
more fully when they graduate.
We again wish to emphasize that we are here to
meet the needs of all the people in our eleven towns
and if you have any questions please call the
Superintendent -Director, Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., at
either 432-4500 or 771-2600.

Report of
AUDIT
ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
To the School Committee of the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District:
We have examined the statement of assets and
liabilities of the DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT (a not-for-profit school district or-
ganized under the laws of Massachusetts) as of June
30, 1978, and the related statements of changes in
fund balances, consolidated revenues and expendi-
tures for the year then ended. Our examination was
made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
As is the practice with many school districts and
municipalities in the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts, the School has not maintained historical
cost records of its fixed assets and, accordingly, a
statement of general fixed assets is not included in the
accompanying financial statements.
The School District also records sick leave benefits on
a cash basis. While we believe that such sick leave.
benefits should be recorded as vested, the method
followed by the School District is in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed
by the AICPA audit guide for governmental units. The
sick leave benefits not provided as vested in the year
ended June 30, 1978 are estimated at approximately
$24,000. Accumulated vested sick leave benefits as of
June 30, 1978, not reflected on the statement of assets
and liabilities, approximated $147,000.
In our opinion, except for the effect of not providing
for pension costs on an actuarial basis, the accompany-
ing financial statements present fairly the assets, other
than fixed assets, and liabilities of the Dennis -
Yarmouth Regional School District as of June 30, 1978,
and the changes in fund balances, consolidated re-
venues and expenditures of operating funds and
surplus revenues and expenditures of operating funds
and surplus revenues, appropriations and expendi-
tures for the year then ended, in conformity with gen-
erally accepted accounting principles applied on a con-
sistent basis.

The year 1978 has brought changes at the Yarmouth
Port Library. After thirteen years of capable, reliable
and punctual service Mrs. Arthur Mills Smith has re-
tired as assistant Librarian. The Trustees join me in
praise of Mrs. Smith and in best wishes in her well
earned retirement. We shall and do miss Alice!
Mrs. John O'Brien, formerly of the Framingham Lib-
rary Staff joined us briefly but finally decided to be
with her husband who will retire soon. Everyone en-
joyed Mrs. O'Brien and found her learned, cooperative
and pleasant to meet. She has promised us that she will
return whenever we need her to substitute.
We are happy to welcome Mrs. Elaine Anderson who
has filled the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs.
O'Brien. Mrs. Anderson is most gracious and willing to
learn Library work. She is quick and. efficient. We feel
very fortunate to have her join the staff.
I deeply appreciate the work of Mr. Thomas Donlin,
President of the Friends organization and the members
of the various Committees and the Officers. The
monthly programs have been interesting and informa-
tive and the social hours after have been pleasant.
The annual Christmas Wassail party, although not
successful financially, was a festive affair due to the
able chairmanship of Mr. Thomas Donlin and Mr.
Hosea Wheeler. They secured an Accordionist, Mr.
Joseph Oliva, who led the audience in the singing of
old-time songs and Christmas carols. Especially de-
lightful were the several solos by Mrs. James Leonard.
The songs put us all in a nostalgic mood and the
beautiful voice of Mrs. Leonard rang clear and un-
forgettably paved the way to the Christmas season.
The Friday morning coffee hours are still popular.
Our thanks again go to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Donlin for
furnishing all of the coffee as well as some of the food.
To the many who bake delicious goodies we also sa-
lute.
Mr. Frank Ryder, President, Mr. Hosea Wheeler,
Vice -President and Mr. Alexander Buchan, Treasurer of
the Association remain faithful, loyal and cooperative.
With good advice from these reliable men and with
conclusions drawn by all members of the Board, the
Trustees have decided to modify the $80,000 plan
(which would probably now be $100,000) and work
toward taking the entire dwelling area and making the
most possible additional space. Toward that end we
will in 1979 seriously start a drive for needed contribu-
tions and will try to have more benefits.
My sincere thanks go to Shirley Lyons, Alice Smith,
Sarah Usher and Sally White. These four ably assisted
in various ways while I was out on sick leave. Also to
Frank Finn from the Depository who always cheerfully
and willingly deposits and collects our loan books.
Without all of this faithful help it would be difficult to
survive.
We hope sometime, when other expenses do not
have to take precedent, to have a charging machine.
The Federal Grant this year afforded us several re-
ference books and a new typewriter. These additions
are most welcome and are greatly appreciated.
The ever -rising cost of books is unbelievable; that is
why we appreciate the loans from the Eastern Regional
system. It not only saves the Library money but it saves
shelf space which is now so important.
To all those who sent cards, encouraging notes,
flowers and gifts to me while I was in the Hospital and
during my convalescence I give thanks. It all helped me
to make a complete recovery.
There was a sad note in our year. The Library lost a
true and valuable Trustee—H. Raymond Darling. Dur-
ing his over 18 years of service as a member of the
Yarmouth Library Corporation, a Trustee of the Yar-
mouth Library Association and a President of both, his
counsel was always helpful especially relating to the
Town Budget. His loyalty to and his pride in the Library
never wavered. We shall and do miss Raymond.
To the Selectmen, the Taxpayers, the Trustees,
employees and borrowers we give thanks. To the
people who have given regularly to the Building Fund,
we are grateful for their generosity.
Happy 1979!

1978 saw the completion of our new wing, named in
honor of Ann Maxtone-Graham, Chairman of the
Board of trustees for over 20 years. The additional
space, so badly needed, is now deeply, appreciated by
our staff and borrowers alike. The library is grateful for
the bequest from Mr. Frank E. Leonard which will make
a significant contribution toward helping us carry the
mortgage on our new addition. As we are also grateful
188
to all our wonderful borrowers who have contributed so
generously to our building fund.
In July, 1978 we expanded our hours. The library is
now open 32 hours every week: 10-12 and 2-5 Mon-
day through Friday, 10-3 on Saturday and Monday
evenings from 7-9. With our increased space and hours
we look forward to expanding and enlarging our ser-
vice to the community.
Our pre-school story hour continues to be a popular
event on our library calendar, and once again this year
at Halloween, Mr. Y. from the John Simpkins School
entertained over 100 7-10 year olds with his very
special ghost stories. The Friends of the Library have
had an active and fruitful year. A monthly series of
lectures has proved to be very popular and, just before
Christmas, they opened a consignment shop in support
of our building fund. Another activity of the Friends, an
illustrated lecture by the author John Maxtone-
Graham on transatlantic liners, was a great success
financially and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
attended.
We are indeed fortunate to have such a faithful
group of volunteers who give us their help every week.
Once again our thanks to Miss Crystelle Craig, Mrs.
Marjorie Crandall, Mrs. Anne Erickson, Mrs. Gwen
Kaiser and Mrs. Elisabeth Sykes for all their efforts in
behalf of the library.
Our thanks to the Garden Club of Yarmouth for the
lovely plants and holiday decorations through the year
and to the Bass River Savings Bank for allowing us to
use their window for our book display.
And to our most competent staff, Jean Bingham,
Rachel Stowe, Sandy Rogers and Sandy Spencer for
making the library such a pleasant place to be.

As we enter a new year we can look back on 1978 as
being a successful one for our library. Our cardholders
now number 4037 with 705 new cards issued last year.
We were fortunate in receiving a federal grant for
$1000 to be used for improving interlibrary loan ser-
vices and were able to purchase many new reference
books with this money.
With the help of volunteers we were able to conduct
a complete inventory of our holdings. Our reference
books number 642, adult fiction 5862, adult non-
fiction 7559, juvenile fiction 2099, juvenile non-fiction
1560 for total of 17,723 volumes.
In August under the leadership of Scott Allan, we
conducted our first book sale. The community was most
generous in its donation of books and the efforts of
many volunteers helped to make the sale most success-
ful.
As members of the Boston Regional Library System
we were again able to take advantage of its many
services. We attended their informative workshops,
borrowed materials from the depository and book-
mobile, and filled interlibrary loan requests.
We have been holding our pre-school storytime on
Thursday afternoons and have welcomed several
groups of nursery school children and scouts for a tour
of the library.
The Bass River Savings Bank has been most coopera-
tive in letting us use their window for periodic book
displays and the Yarmouth Club in giving us many
floral arrangements and we wish to thank them for
their generosity.

DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL
DISTRICT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE30, 1978
(1) Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Agree-
ment
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District was
formed by an agreement between the towns, doted
June 15, 1954, to build and operate a high school
facility to serve this region. At special town meetings
held in Dennis and Yarmouth on February 27, 1975,
the voters adopted an amendment to this agreement
whereby, beginning July 1, 1975, the School District
assumed responsibility for operating elementary
schools and middle schools within the region in addi-
tion to the high school. The accompanying financial
statements include the financial transactions of the
Regional School District, as defined in the amended
agreement, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1978.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
In accordance with general practices of municipal
government units and the requirements of the Bureau
of Accounts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
the accompanying financial statements include the
transactions of the various funds of Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional School District reported on a modified accrual
basis of accounting. On the modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when they are
available for use by the District to fund its current school
year's operations and, except for pension and vested
sick pay costs (see Note 5), expenditures are recognized
as the related liabilities are incurred. The statements of
revenues and expenditures are statements of financial
activities of the funds related to the current reporting
period; they do not purport to present the results of
operations or the net income or loss for the period. To
the extent that general funds are used to finance ac-
tivities within other fund groups, the amounts so pro-
vided are accounted for as transfers of revenues.
Fund Accounting
The District follows fund accounting procedures
whereby, for accounting and reporting purposes, re-
sources for various purposes are classified in a self -
balancing set of accounts for recording the assets,
liabilities, a fund balance and changes in the fund
balance in accordance with the limitations imposed by
the funding agency. The School District's funds consist
of:
Surplus Revenues
193
Surplus, revenues represent the cumulative balance
resulting from all financial transactions relating to the
administration, instruction and maintenance activites
of the School District.
Construction Funds
The construction funds include the financial transac-
tions related to the design and construction of the ad-
ministration building and the addition to the high
school.
Cafeteria and Other Funds
The cafeteria and other funds include principally the
financial transactions relating to activites of the school
lunch program as well as funds designated for athletic
events and band activities.
Federal and State Grant Funds
The Federal and state grant funds include the trans-
actions related to Federal or state sponsored programs
to assist disadvantaged students and fulfill other
specialized educational requirements.
Trust Funds
The trust funds include receipts from various donors
which are used to provide awards to worthy students.
Accrued Contract Payroll
Certain teachers covered by the School District's con-
tract with the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional Teachers' As-
sociation, covering the fiscal year ended June 30,
1978, elect to receive their annual salary over a
twelve-month period beginning in September and en-
ding in August. Amounts not yet paid to these teachers
as of June 30, 1978 are accrued by the School District at
that date and are included in expenditures of the
period then ended.
Fixed Assets
Equipment purchases financed with operating funds)
and debt principal payments related to facilities ar
funded annually through assessments (based on
budgeted amounts of such expenditures) to the par-
ticipating towns for each fiscal period. Accordingly,
related payments are recorded as expenditures against
the budget for the current period.
As is the practice with many school districts and
municipalities in the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts, the School District has not maintained his-
torical cost records of its fixed assets, and accordingly ,
a statement of general fixed assets is not included in
the accompanying financial statement.
(3) School District Assessments
Under terms of the agreement, as amended, estab-
lishing the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District,
the School District's costs are apportioned and assess-
ments are levied against the towns forming the District.
The District's costs are apportioned as follows:
Costs to hp AppnrtinnPtl
Principal and interest re-
lating to debt issues prior
to 1973
Principal and interest re-
lating to debt issued sub-
sequent to 1973
Special operating costs,
principally related to pro-
viding evening educa-
tional programs
Operating costs
Basis of Apportionment
Equalized valuations of
the respective towns
Enrollment of the respec-
tive towns
Pupil hours of the respec-
tive towns relating to such
programs
Enrollment of the respec-
tive towns
(4) Leased Facilities
The School District has leases covering four elemen-
tary and two middle schools within the town of Dennis
and Yarmouth, whereby the District has the use of these
facilities through June 30, 1990, with an option for an
additional fifteen -year period, at an annual cost of $1
for each of the facilities. Under the terms of the agree-
ments, the School District is responsible for the cost of
operation, including utilities and insurance, and
maintenance of these facilities.
(5) Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Benefits
Certain administrative and other professional
employees and teachers of the School District partici-
pate individually in a contributory retirement plan
administered by the Massachusetts Teacher's Retire-
ment Board. The School District does not contribute to
this plan.
Retirement benefits are provided for other
employees of the School District by the District's partici-
pation in the Barnstable County Retirement Associa-
tion. Under the provisions of this plan, employees con-
tribute certain percentages of their pay and are eligible
for retirement benefits after attaining the prescribed
194
age and/or period of service criteria. In addition, the
School District contributes to this plan an annual
amount determined by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts -Department of Banking and Insurance,
primarily on the basis of projected annual benefit
payments for the year ("Pay-as-you-go"). The School
District's contribution to this plan for fiscal year 1978
was $79,480.
The amount of unfunded pension liability of the
Barnstable County Retirement Association was last de-
termined as of January 1, 1976. The amount of such
benefits related to the Regional School District has not
been separately reported. However, by comparing the
aggregate pay of participating employees of the
School District to similar data for the total participants
of the Barnstable County Retirement Association, it is
estimated that, based upon data contained in the 1976
study, the Districts' unfunded pension liability would
have exceeded $1,500,000.
Sick Leave Benefits
Under terms of the contracts covering the employees
of the School District, certain employees are entitled to
fifteen days of paid sick leave annually. Unused sick
leave may be accumulated indefinitely up to a
specified maximum. In the event of death, separation
or retirement of an employee having completed ten
years of service, such employee or the employee's es-
tate shall be compensated at a rate of $15 per day for
accumulated sick leave. As of June 30, 1978, such
accumulated vested sick leave of Regional School Dis-
trict employees approximated 9,800 days. No recogni-
tion has been given in the accounts of the School District
to the liability approximating $147,000 for these ves-
ted benefits or to the $24,000 increase in the liability
for vested benefits earned during fiscal 1978.
(6) School Bonds
The 2.9% School bonds were issued as of May 1,
1963 in an aggregate amount of $700,000, maturing
at a rate of 2% (35,000 principal amount) annually.
Interest payments are made semiannually on
November 1 and May 1 of each year.
The 4.75% School bonds were sold on July 13, 1977
in an aggregate amount of $4,600,000, maturing as
follows:
Amount
$425,000
400,000
375,000
350,000
325,000
Due in June
1978
1979 to 1983 inclusive
1984 to 1987 inclusive
1988
1989
Interest payments are made semiannually on June 15
and December 15 of each year.
The School bonds will be retired using funds raised
through taxation by Dennis and Yarmouth. These fu-
ture assessments for repayment of debt principal are
reflected as assets on the accompanying statement of
assets and liabilities.
(7) Construction Funds
The proceeds from the sale of the 4.75% bonds is
being used to finance construction, equipping and fur-
nishing of an addition to the high school, remodeling
the present high school facility, and constructing and
furnishing the school administration building.
The School District Committee has also authorized
$300,000 for the renovation of the John Simpkins
Elementary School which was financed from current
operating funds and surplus revenue.
(8) Contingency
A claim has been asserted against the Cape Cod
Collaborative and various other defendants by a
former employee. The Cape Cod Collaborative is an
organization made up of several participating school
systems, including the District; its purpose is to provide
special education services to students in the participat-
ing school systems.
The employee claims that the defendants violated
certain of the employee's civil and constitutional rights
in connection with a decision not to renew the
employee's contract as a teacher at a program operated
by the Collaborative. The District insurer is presently
paying for the District's expense in defending this
claim, but it is uncertain at this time that the District's
insurance policy will cover a successful monetary claim
asserted directly against the Collaborative, for which
the District may be jointly and severally liable. The
employee is seeking reinstatement and damages in
the amount of $500,000 from the collaborative and the
other defendants, including the District.
The parties in this case are still involved in pretrial
discovery. The District (and the other defendants) are
vigorously contesting the claim. The. District's legal
counsel is unable to express a judgment as to the
outcome of this case or to estimate the potential loss or
range of loss.
To the School Committee of the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District:
We have examined the financial statements of the
DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT as
of June 30, 1978 and for the fiscal year then ended,
and have issued our report thereon dated August 22,
1978, in which our opinion is qualified with respect to
the failure to provide for the costs of employee pension
plans accruing in excess of the amounts currently paid.
Our examination was made in accordance with gener-
ally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly in-
cluded such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.
In connection with the examination referred to
above, we have also examined the accompanying Re-
conciliation of Treasurer's Cash as of, and for the fiscal
year ended, June 30, 1978. Our examination included
(1) confirmation of balances with the respective banks,
(2) tests of the reconciliations from bank to book cash
balances, and (3) such other auditing procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opin-
ion, the Reconciliation of Treasurer's Cash presents
fairly, when read in conjunction with the related finan-
cial statements, the financial information required to
be set forth therein, in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.

managing and protecting of Town owned land, and
the supporting of the state and local wetlands laws.
The duties of the Commissioners have become in-
creasingly complex in direct proportion to the tremend-
ous increase in state and federal regulations. We now
have the Coastal Zone Management rules and regula-
tions and the new Coastal Wetlands Acts, along with
the existing Wetlands Act, to administer.
This past year there have been 63 wetland hearings,
an increase of 20 over the previous year.
The Town has acquired 35+ acres of conservation
land this year for the recreational enjoyment of the
townspeople, and the protection of fragile wetland
areas.
The Commissioners wish to express their gratitude to
the townspeople, the Department of Natural Resources,
Sanitary Landfill personnel and the many town de-
partments for their cooperation, assistance and interest
in all our projects of this past year.

LEE M. COLTON, Chairman

Report of the
BEAUTIFICATION
COMMITTEE
We do not have too much to report for the past year. As
you all know, Route 28 was torn up by the State work-
ing on lights and curbings. It didn't seem feasible to do
any plantings and have the plants dug up and the
money wasted. The Christmas trees were lighted again
this year at the same three squares and we trust their
Christmas greeting made people forget the unsightly
problems on Route 28. We plan to use the balance of
our budget for Spring and Summer plantings.
One of our members worked with the new Sign Code
Committee and we hope eventually that something
constructive can be done to haveall the signs conform
to a uniform code. All of the new "No Parking" signs
just erected by the State certainly are not attractive.
We have felt for some time that the work of the
Beautification Committee could be better ac-
complished through the joint efforts of the Yarmouth
Garden Club (not formed when we were first or-
ganized) and the Park Department. We have written
two letters to the Selectmen about this and understand
they have acted favorably to our suggestion. It has
been enjoyable being associated with this Committee
and its work but Yarmouth is growing and we feel
these changes would be for the benefit of the entire
Town.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the
WATERWAYS
COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and The Citizens of Yarmouth:
The Waterways Committee met in regular sessions
on the second Wednesday of each month throughout
the year as well as in sessions with the Waterways
Committee of the town of Dennis.
This Committee, operating under the direction of the
Board of Selectmen, has two primary functions. One, to
act as an advisory committee to the Board of Selectmen
and other town departments and agencies in water-
ways related matters and two, to operate and maintain
the four town owned small boat marinas.
The marinas continue to be self-supporting besides
producing a nominal income to the town's treasury.
During the past year income from the marinas was—
Packet Landing $3,055, Colonial Acres $2,475, En-
glewood Beach $1,525 and the Bass Hole $700 for a
total of $7,755. Maintenance and other directly related
expenses were $2,000. We continue to have problems
with pilferage and malicious mischief at all the
marinas. It is hoped that additional night patrols dur-
ing the 1979 boating season will reduce this senseless
depredation.
The Dennis -Yarmouth Bass River Study Committee,
formed to explore the feasibility of forming a Regional
Waterways Commission to take over and control dredg-
ing and operations of the river, submitted its recom-
mendations in January. A meeting of the Selectmen
and Waterways Committees of Dennis and Yarmouth,
called to go over the Study Committee's recommenda-
tions, decided a Regional Commission was not neces-
sary at this time.
During the past year, the Waterways Committees of
Dennis and Yarmouth worked with Yarmouth's De-
partment of Natural Resources in the dredging projects
of Parkers River and Bass River. These projects were
completed in June and provided open channels during
the boating season.
However, it became evident that the Bass River
channel would again need dredging in 1979 and a
joint meeting of the Dennis and Yarmouth Waterways
Committees was called in October to discuss the river's
condition. This meeting resulted in the appointment of
a joint Bass River sub -Committee to not only plan for a
Spring Maintenance Dredging project but also to begin
work on long range plans for more extensive harbor
and channel development.
During the past summer, the Artificial Fishing reef
was finally established off of Bass River with the plac-
ing of a Coast Guard approved marker buoy and ap-
proximately 700 old tires in bundles of three and four
tires. This reef was established on a non-productive
bottom as shown in underwater photos, as well as
divers' observations, made prior to its establishment.
The State Division of Marine Fisheries is monitoring this
project and dives and underwater photographs made
in November by Fisheries personnel show excellent
marine growth on the tires, an accumulation of small
fish and crustacians, and several adult size Tautog. The
Waterways Committee will continue this project with
the addition of more tires this coming summer.
The experimental project, funded by Coastal Zone
Management, of establishing wooden sand catcher
groins on Colonial Acres beach has proved successful in
reducing beach erosion and re-establishing a sandy
beach. Further study on the placement of groins and
the possible establishment of two or three additional
groins, will be worked on by the Waterways Commit-
tee.
Coastal Zone Management has also approved the
partial funding of a project for an engineering study
and specifications for the rehabilitation and improve-
ment of Wilbur Park on Bass River. The Waterways
Committee, which initiated this project, had a primary
interest in this area to stop the river bank erosion which
was causing siltation of Bass River and filling in the
boat channel as well as covering up quahog beds. In
addition, the erosion of the main banking near the
Highbank Bridge presented a most unsightly view for
those approaching Yarmouth from Dennis. It is hoped
that cost estimates for the needed rehabilitation and
improvements can be obtained through the CZM
funded study and presented to a Town meeting in the
near future.
The Waterways Committee has surveyed the present
improved boat ramps in Yarmouth and find that all are
in need of repair or complete rebuilding. We have
recommended that the redesigning and rebuilding of
the Englewood Beach boat ramp be considered for a
1979 project. All Town Ways to the Water have also
been surveyed with recommendations made as to thse
which could be made into improved boat ramps.

Report of the
DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL
RESOURCES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of Yarmouth
SHELLFISH
This department's experimental program of es-
tablishing bottom netting on both sides of our town to
catch softshell clam spat as well as to protect this spat
and planted shellfish beds from natural clam predators
is showing excellent results and should be a major aid
in expanding softshell clamming in Yarmouth. As in
most experiments, problems develop and this one is no
exception for not only are natural predators finding a
way under the netting but human predators are steal-
ing the netting. We are working on these problems and
hope to have them solved, or at least under control, this
coming year.
After the winter kill of 1977, our quahog beds are
again reproducing and in conjunction with our trans-
planting and planting programs have increased our
quahog stocks to the point where increased harvesting
can be permitted. The 4/15 - 9/1 7/78 .Family Permit
harvest of a recorded 850 bushels of quahogs from
Georgetown Flats is an example of what one small
area can produce under close supervision and harvest
area rotation. We will continue to open our quahog
digging areas on a rotating basis and hope to increase
our seed stock by establishing a new spawning area on
the east side of Lewis Bay.
There was a heavy mortality of our oyster stocks this
past year, the cause of which has not as yet been
determined by the Division of Marine Fisheries which is
working on this at our request. Due to this lack of adult
oysters, we did not have an open season. There has
also been a shortage of purchasable oyster seed for
transplanting and our own oyster spat catching bags
produced little or no seed. This was a disappointment
for we had such excellent results in 1977 with the spat
bags. However, this experience is just one of the many
uncertainties one encounters in aquaculture.
The scallop harvest in Bass River was very poor and
ended almost as soon as it started. Though adult scal-
lops were few, scallop seed in the river was plentiful
and should provide a bumper crop for next fall. The
harvest of scallops in Lewis Bay is slowly improving
with a large amount of seed present. However, the
abundance of aquatic weed in Lewis Bay presents a
continuing problem to the harvesting of adult scallops.
With the aid of our summer biologist, and year
round water testing, we maintained a continuing prog-
ram of water quality monitoring to assure that our
shellfish stocks are growing in clean water.
This department wishes to call to the attention of all
purchasers of shellfish licenses the necessity of filling
out the "Catch Record" on the reverse side of their
licenses. Your previous year's license should be turned
in, with the "Catch Record" filled in as accurately as
possible, when you obtain your new license. These
"Catch Records" are totaled and form the basis for
several reports this department must make to the State.
Help us to assure future shellfishing.

CONSERVATION
All Conservation lands were included in our patrols
due to several instances of illegal cutting of wood. The
developed nature trails in four of our Conservation
areas were patrolled and policed for litter on at least a
weekly basis throughout the spring, summer and fall.
We are encountering a problem of people using Con-
servation lands for the deposit of bags of garbage,
leaves and miscellaneous refuse. Seemingly, this
desecration of conservation lands increases when the
road inside our Town Landfill area is too muddy for the
average automobile.
Over 3,000 feet of the Herring Run between Swan
Lake and Long Pond was dug out and imrpoved for the
spring run. Plans are underway to improve other Her-
ring Runs in the town in an endeavor to increase the
runs of fish which showed a slight decline in 1978.
This department's work for the Conservation Com-
mission as their investigation and enforcement officers
under the Wetland Act, Chapter 131 Section 40 of the
State's General Laws, continues to increase with 1 1 1
investigative calls made in the past year.
FISH AND GAME
The new town By -Law prohibiting the discharge of
firearms on the shores of Bass River presented no prob-
lems with hunters during the 1978 Fall hunting season
but did, we feel, cause several calls from persons living
217
along the river requesting we remove geese and ducks
off their lawns and from their shrubbery.
Depending on the availability of fry, some ponds in
the town will be stocked with the hope of increasing our
freshwater pond fishing.
A compilation of the number of Fish and Game calls
to which this department responded totaled 84 and are
as follows -

Report of the
HISTORICAL
COMMISSION
Since March, 1978 when the newly appointed Yar-
mouth Historical Commission was convened by
Selectman Ralph Cipolla, it has held four meetings.
Present at two of them was Ms. Liz Durfee from the
Massachusetts Historical Commission who answered
questions about the function of such a local commis-
sion, how to prepare and use an inventory of historical
sites and buildings, how to apply for a CETA grant for
help with the inventory and other related questions. By
November the application had been filed, and in
January, 1979 the Commission received a CETA grant
of $55,000.

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN:
Building in 1978 in the Historic District declined to
129 applications from the previous years' 203 Applica-
tions of Appropriateness being approved for new
houses, additions, businesses, and alterations. Four of
these were declined at the time of presentment; but
held over and approved at a later meeting. Three
Report of the
certificates were withdrawn and twenty-three were
disapproved; these due largely to insufficient represen-
tation and plans. Three of the approved applications
and one of the disapproved were for industrial or
commercial building. Three signs and three demolition
applications were also approved.
Two Certificates of Exemption were disapproved and
thirteen were approved. Two appeals were presented
to the Regional Commission during 1978, one of which
went to court on December 15th with the decision still
pending.
Ernest Cole was elected Chairman in April, 1978.
John Harris gave his resignation in May and Barbara
Peros was appointed to replace him. At the Annual
meeting on November 29th, Ernest Cole was up for
reelection and was defeated at this time by Luther
Long.

CAPE COD PLANNING AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION 1978
The past year for the Cape Cod Planning and
Economic Development Commission has been marked
with both major accomplishments and steady progress
in the areas of water quality management, transporta-
tion, economic development, coastal zone manage-
ment and local assistance. The CCPEDC has received
support and constructive guidance from the hundreds
of Cape Cod residents involved in its many activities
throughout the year.
The following report briefly describes a portion of
the work of the CCPEDC, its staff and advisory commit-
tess during 1978.
WATER RESOURCES PLANNING
The 208 Water Quality Program culminated with the
publication of the Draft Water Quality Management
Plan/EIS for Cape Cod in May, 1978. To insure that
there would be thorough plan review in each town,
218
CCPEDC requested that the towns establish formal
Draft Plan Review Committees.
Many individuals commented that they felt the plan
was very comprehensive and believed that the major
thrusts of the plan — to protect critical water resources
and to improve on-site disposal system management
were very valuable and appropriate for Cape Cod.
SOLID WASTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CCPEDC established a Solid Waste Advisory Com-
mittee composed of representatives of each Cape town
which began meeting on a monthly basis in October.
The Committee is charged with exploring the potential
for regional approaches to solid waste management on
the Cape, an effort recommended in the 208 final plan.
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Transportation planning in Barnstable County is car-
ried out with the guidance of the Cape Cod Joint Trans--
portation Committee which includes representatives of HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
the 15 towns, interested organizations and state and Lloyd H. Dauphinais 1979
federal agencies.
CCPEDC also started work on a Regional Transporra- TREE WARDEN
tion Plan for Cape Cod in 1978 with the initial em-
phasis on the Mid -Cape area including the Towns of Jon L. Homes 1979
Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis.
Special studies in the areas of public transportation, DENNIS-YARMOUTH
railroad services and bikeways were carried out by the REGIONAL SCHOOL
transportation planning staff in 1978. DISTRICT COMMITTEE
The $1.8 million upgrading of all rail lines on the William J. Bearse 1979
Cape, supported by CCPEDC, was completed in the fall Anna M. Barthelmes 1979
in accordance with the State Rail Plan. Robert W. Saben, Jr. 1979

Report of the
CABLEVISION
ADVISORY
COMMITTEE
The subject of cable television in the Town of Yar-
mouth this year has been one of somewhat unrest for
the members of our Cablevision Advisory Committee.
With the removal of Channel 44 from our TV screens
and the substitution with Home Box Office and the
Christian Broadcasting programs, many of our town's
people have filed complaints with the Cablevision
company as well as with the Board •of Selectmen.
When the Cape Cod Cablevision Corporation first
proposed its intent of providing subscribers with
H.B.O., the Cablevision Advisory Committee met to
discuss this issue and to come up with a recommenda-
tion to the Board of Selectmen.
Although the feelings of the Council Members were
mixed, it was decided to approve the request of the
Cape Cod Cablevision Corporation. This discussion was
based on the following considerations:
1. The survey conducted by the Cape Cod Cablevi-
sion Corp. of the subscribers overwhelmingly in-
dicated their desire to receive Home Box Office
programs.
2. No objections were then coming from the citizens
of the town.
Since the reception of N.B.O. many newspaper arti-
cles reflect the concerns of our citizens regarding the
content of H.B.O. Programs and the loss of Channel 44.
The Advisory Committee, after hearing of this turn
around, contacted Mr. Jeffrey Forbes, Executive Direc-
tor of the Massachusetts Community Antenna Commis-
sion for a ruling on this matter.
Discussions followed and on two occasions 'Mr.
Forbes explained that the Council's decision, based
upon the initial feelings of the subscribers, agreed with
our recommendation.
In December of last year, the chairman of this com-
mittee joined with representatives of the Barnstable
Cablevision Advisory Committee and the Dennis
Communications Advisory Committee, and took part
on a panel which was broadcast over the cable televi-
sion's Channel 11 in order to respond to any questions
called in to the studio regarding this issue.
During this one hour live telecast not one question
was put to the Yarmouth representative.
228
At present the major complaint regarding the deliv-
ery of H.B.O. to the non H.B.O. subscribers, seems to be
the ineffectiveness of "scrambling" the audio portion of
the programs.
This fact was made known to the management of the
Cablevision Corporation and they are presently look-
ing into a method of satisfactorily scrambling the audio
signal.
For the members of the town it should be made
known that a more effective way of filing complaints is
with the members of the Board of Selectmen. In this
way you will be heard and the Town of Yarmouth
Advisory Committee will have a more accurate as-
sessment as to the feeling of the cable subscribers.
In closing I wish to thank each member of the com-
mittee for their interest and look forward to their con-
tinued support.

Acknowledgement
The art work in this year's Annual Town Report which
appears on the front and rear cover and elsewhere
throughout the document is the work of D. Davis who
owns and operates the Yarmouth Port Galleries in
Yarmouth Port.
Miss Davis studied at the Rhode Island School of
Design and under Mr. George at the Vesper School
of Art in Boston. She also studied at the Otis Institute
in Los Angeles under Mr. Shrader. Miss Davis has
been active on the Cape for over forty years. She
wrote the Children's page for the Cape Cod Colonial
Newspaper in the 1930's and has illustrated seven
little children's stories called the "Cape Codders."
A cover to Yankee Magazine was painted by the
artist a few years ago.
As a painter D. Davis is well qualified to depict the
nostalgic charm of the American Scheme. She is a
descendant of Mayflower passengers and one
ancestor's name, Richard Warren, is on the plaque
at First Encounter Beach at Eastham.
Miss Davis' art has been exhibited and sold in many
galleries throughout the country. She had a one-man
show at Doll and Richard's Gallery in Boston; The
Talisman Gallery in Falmouth; Art Wagon Gallery in
Scottsdale, Arizona; Palm Beach Gallery, Florida;
Lobster Pot Gallery in Nantucket. She has been an
active member of the Copley Society in Boston and
has sold over a thousand of her primitive style paint-
ings here and abroad.
Miss Davis is currently chairman of the Yarmouth -
port Improvement Society which- is responsible for
replacing the elm trees along Route 6A. D. Davis is
in private life Mrs. Frank Berry. Mr. Berry died four
years ago.
The Town of Yarmouth is grateful to Miss Davis for
her contribution in depicting the several items of
historical significance from Yarmouth's past.
Once again the Town of Yarmouth takes pride in
presenting a page out of Yarmouth's historical past
through the sketches which appear both on the
covers and several pages of the Annual Report for
the year 1979.
In 1978 through funds made available from a CETA
grant, Yarmouth initiated an historical buildings in-
ventory under the direction of the Yarmouth Historic
Commission whose appointment was authorized at
the 1977 Annual Town Meeting. The inventory team
was supervised by Mr. Fred Crockett, Coordinator,
who was assisted by Frank Stroh, Assistant Coordi-
nator, and Tricia Casey, Susan Greene, Donald
Elrick, and Richard Hazelhurst, Researchers.
One of the special purposes for the inventory of
historical assets in Yarmouth was to identify as many
buildings and other sites in the Town believed to have
historical significance and from such identification
instill in the citizens of Yarmouth an appreciation of
the many historical treasures which abound in the
Town. Another purpose was to encourage the pre-
servation of such antiquities. While recognizing that
to preserve the past is to honor those who built and
created the many beautiful structures, it is the hope
that those who presently share in a living history
today will want to assure that the same privileges
and pleasures will pass to future generations.
The historical assets inventory is continuing as this
document is being prepared, and a final report of the
inventory will become available to all citizens upon
completion of the inventory late in 1980.

Report of the
Board of
Selectmen
To the People of Yarmouth:
The decrease in the Yarmouth Tax Rate, the im-
proved employees' attitudes, and taxpayers' positive
comments are the best indications possible that the
move toward a professional form of government is
working. The effort to find townspeople who would
serve, and particularly townspeople whose back-
ground provided added strength for the committees
on which they would serve, was rewarded. Several
Town boards still have vacancies so efforts will con-
tinue.
Report of the
Executive
Secretary
1979 was a year of change with increasing inflation,
growing concerns about our environment, shortages
of gasoline and other issues which confronted us.
The Town of Yarmouth has been able to cope with
these changes and respond to them effectively.
This past year through good management of our re-
sources, wise investment of our income by the Treas-
urer and excellent cooperation by departments, the
tax rate for 1979-1980 went down by $.50 to $18.30.
The reduction was significant in the face of almost
everything we purchase going up. For the future we
see energy costs as being our biggest problem.
While we can control our costs in many areas, this
raise in a basic commodity could result in an increase
in the amount of money to operate our departments.
With continued careful monitoring of your tax dollar
by the town staff we can keep our expenses to a mini-
mum. This is an ongoing process, with centralized
bulk purchasing through the county and state having
resulted in savings to all departments as one ex-
ample of our efforts. We also are bidding many items
including insurance, fuel oil, and other services. The
continuing computerization of town functions inter-
nally will 'result in stabilizing our work force and elimi-
nating the need for as many outside computer ser-
vices. In 1979 the census and a portion of the water
billing were converted to our NCR computer. We
intend to complete the water billing. plus the Town
Accountants and Assessors functions in 1980.
The arrival of the new decade brings with it a difficult
series of challenges for Yarmouth. On the one hand,
our residents are suffering under the strain of rapidly
rising costs. On the other hand, the Town has too
long done too little to plan its future. Long-range plan-
ning, started a few years ago, is becoming stronger.
Out of this, careful consideration is coming, or has
already come, a more clearly defined list of priorities,
many of which are covered in the letter of the Execu-
tive Secretary. We recognize the deep concern all
of the residents have for holding down tax escalation.
We assure you that all possible is being done to pro-
vide the facilities and services necessary to efficient
government while insuring that tax impact is mini-
mized.
Yarmouth has long been, and will continue to be a
fine place to live. It is to that that we dedicate our-
selves.
The application for grants from the State and Federal
governments is another way we have been able to
hold the line of expenses. Michael Lichten, Assistant
Executive Secretary, has developed three Coastal
Zone Management grants, two of which have been
fully funded in the amount of $9,310; the third for
$20,000 has been approved by the Cape Cod Plan-
ning Commission and forwarded to the State for final
approval. We have also received a total of $106,600
in other grants and have applied for a $200,000 HUD
grant for a community center. Mike Lichten has done
an excellent job in this area as he has in the compu-
terization of various tasks. With the completion of the
Conservation - Recreation Plan, being developed
by the Planning Board, he will be able to assist in the
preparation of applications for reimbursement of land
purchases and development of recreation or con-
servation projects. We are planning in 1980 to in-
crease the number of grants we apply for. These
applications will be in the areas of energy conserva-
tion, historic building repair, and new construction of
town facilities.
One other major event which should be noted in 1979
was the first annual Yarmouth Seaside Festival. This
event has brought us all closer together with commu-
nity spirit. Mrs. Jan Butler and her committee deserve
a great deal of credit for their effort in 1979 and all of
our support in 1980.
Looking ahead to 1980 the town has several major
issues to address. The construction of a sewerage/
septage treatment plan, renovations to the existing
Town Hall, or a new town office, development of a
transit system under the regional transit authority and
control of our tax rate. Through the efforts of the com-
mittees appointed by the Selectmen, we will be able
to gather the facts on these issues and make in-
formed decisions that will be for the good of the whole
town. The importance of citizen participation in these live. The continuation of this cooperative attitude will
areas cannot be overemphasized. 1980 will be a year allow all of us in town government to provide better
of increased citizen involvement in the governmental responses to the needs of the citizens of Yarmouth.
process which is a positive development of the 70's.
In closing I would like to thank all the Town Depart-
ment Heads, employees and my staff who have been
working together to make Yarmouth a better place to

In 1979 my office started to take over the inhouse
computerization of the water billing. During 1980 we
shall continue to computerize the water billing for all
areas of the Town and install a system of collections
of Real Estate and Personal Property taxes on our
NCR computer. Although this change -over from a
service bureau to an in-house operation has resulted
in extra work for my department, the benefit to the
taxpayers and my staff is well worth the time involved.
I would like to thank all Town Employees, Elected
590.42 Officials and my staff and most of all the Taxpayers
who have paid their taxes promptly for making my
job easier.

The work load has been ever increasing with the new
demands from the state and continued growth of the
town.
August 31, 1979, the Deputy Assessor, June W.
Vanelli resigned and the assistant assessor has
been filling the position as acting deputy assessor.
The acting deputy assessor has attended the annual
School of Assessing held in Amherst at the Univer-
Respectfully submitted,
Jacqueline M. Bouchard
Town Collector
sity of Massachusetts as well as many seminars
with the staff.
Our bills were sent out early in November due to the
late arrival of our Cherry Sheet. But we were among
the first 1/3 of the state to have our tax rate approved
and at a lower rate.
We are very appreciative for the cooperation shown
to us by all the departments in the town. To the asses-
sors staff, we want to say "Thank you girls" for your
faithful cooperation during the year.
The future demands are going to be great with the
changing to in-house computer as well as the ever
changing new laws and the classification of real
estate.
You are encouraged to read and study the data con-
tained in the Tax Recapitulation sheet which follows
this report.

Report of the
Town Clerk/
Treasurer and
Registrars
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
The Town Clerk's department had a busy year de-
spite the fact there were no Primaries, and only 1
Special Town Meeting.
We are proud to report that the annual Town Census
was in the mail on January 2. We mailed out 6,938
forms and had a better than 90% return. This is our
third year for census by mail. Each year there are
fewer and fewer corrections to be made.
In the April election there wasn't as much enthusiasm
as last year. 2,326 ballots were cast, which is only
20.23% of the voters. Last year we had 4,491 votes
cast. We had a Special Town Meeting on August 21,
with 21 Articles to be taken up. September 17 we had
46 a Special Election for the position of Selectman;
there were 2,443 ballots cast, and Mr. Joel Wolfson
won with 1,650 votes. The Registrars certified 92
nomination papers for the Town Election only, and
125 for Petitions and Referendum Petitions. Our
count after we completed the annual Census was
as follows:
Precinct 1
Precinct 2
Precinct 3
Precinct 4
R D I
335 112 486
459 237 860
1458 911 2912
917 897 2261
We are looking forward to next year when we will
have all of our Election information on our own com-
puter.
The Town Clerk's department sold 2,854 Dog Licen-
ses; 60 Business Certificates; 1,093 Birth, Death,
Marriage, certified Certificates; 169 Marriage Inten-
tions; 18 Raffle -Bazaar permits. Fees paid on U.C.C.
filings and releases were $1,245.00. This is the
second year that our office has handled the sale of
Golf memberships, and we sold $112,345.00 in
memberships. Town Clerk recordings for 1979 were:
Births 150, Deaths 293, Marriages 202. Next year
we will be very busy with Primaries and Town Elec-
tion, and with trying to keep up with the numerous
law changes.
The Treasurer's department processed 32,031 Ven -
dor and Payroll checks, amounting to $27,463,
725.00. I also received and took charge of $27,
661,947.00. Interest earned from invested cash was
$57,434.45 on Revenue Sharing and $159,929.53
on Revenue & Non -Revenue Cash. The cash flow
study, and bidding with local banks has proved profit-
able. The fact that our monies are in interest-bearing
accounts until checks are drawn has helped our
revenue. Whenever I go out for bids, I call at least
three banks on -Cape and three off -Cape. This gives
me a much greater scope. It seems that the Cape
banks can give much better rates.
We had 68 new tax titles turned over to us in August,
and by early December had redeemed at least 20.
The project for 1980 is to clear up our Tax Title Ac-
count, which numbers approximately 100 at present.
We completed our third successful C.P.A. audit in
much shorter time, which would indicate that all our
books are in the order required by C.P.A.'s.
Our new computer should prove to be most helpful,
as the Water Department will be sending out their
bills early in January; the activities of the Town Ac-
counting Department should be computerized by
mid -1980; and we should be processing our payroll
by 1981.

Report of the
Barnstable
County Health
Department
JULY 1, 1978 to JUNE 30, 1979
For fifty-three years the Barnstable County Health
Department has been providing public health pro-
grams for the residents of the fifteen towns. Coor-
dinating and supplementing services to towns and to
health related agencies continued to be the purpose
for program activities. Such activities included plan-
ning, control of communicable diseases, environ-
mental health services, nursing consultation, pre-
vention of dental disease, medical social services
and services for handicapped children.
Accomplishments:
Through staff meetings and joint planning, priorities
have changed. Responsibility for inspecting and
recommending licensure for group day care services
was referred back to the Office for Children on July
1, 1978. Management of state -supplied biologics and
vaccines was reorganized, with the county distribut-
ing them to 7 depots, and providing direction of the
reporting and epidemiological follow-up of certain
communicable diseases. Funds, supplies and staff
time were provided for the inclusion of laboratory
examination and monitoring of public water supplies
as required on July 1, 1978 by the Safe -Water Drink-
ing Act. The planned additional service of chemical
analysis of waters, as a part of the 208 Water Quality
Management program, was not funded but is still
expected, and the laboratory potential is being devel-
oped. Committee time and consultation time has
been provided by the nurse directors in assisting two
schools to obtain waivers from certain requirements,
in order to institute newer ideas. These nurses have
also assisted five home health agencies in meeting
the medicaid standards, and in continuing education
programs. The Health Resource Center, which is
co-sponsored by this department, has developed
by-laws and a board of directors. Study and prepara-
tion for the implementation of fluoride rinse programs
in some schools and direct instruction of dental
hygiene students from the Cape Cod Community
College has been given by the public health dental
hygienist. Since the prevention of dental disease is a
priority goal, the dental program is to be expanded.
The consultant in medical social services continued
to work with hospital and agency programs as super-
visor, board member, program planner, and leader
of workshop groups, as a part of the Mental Health
Training Contract. The Area Human Services Plan-
ning Team met weekly, in order to provide the struc-
ture for better care for people who need and use the
services of several state agencies. The outcome of
this was a procedure "The Client Pathway" imple-
mented on the Lower Cape, on a trial basis; this in-
volved the County Health Officer as supervisor of
the inter agency coordinator, and the medical social
work consultant who participated in training and case
management.
The Services to Handicapped Children has provided
care to some 500 children and their families. The
medical record system has been changed, and a
management information reporting system was in-
stituted. The Barnstable County staff was used in the
planning and for the pilot project, and it involved
many meetings with the Division of Family Health
Services of the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health. An expected outcome has been — respect
and understanding as well as cooperation and en-
thusiasm. The County Hospital continued to provide
facilities, laboratory and X-ray services.
Aims:
1. Consideration of a program, criteria, equipment
and manpower to analyze food samples — as
requested by some Boards of Health.
2. Development of active participation of staff, and
of health agents in the Health Systems Agency of
Area V.
3. Joint planning for the on-going financial support of
the Health Resource Center.
4. Guidance to home health agencies in manage-
ment and reorganization as they come under
pressure to provide an alternative to institutional
care.
The encouragement and support of the county com-
missioners, of the local boards of health, and the
county hospital staff have made our progress possi-
ble.

Report of the
Health
Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
Herewith is the Annual Report of the Town of Yar-
mouth Health Department.
The Health Department continued to implement pro-
grams designed to provide increased protection in
the environmental health field. A major program was
started to obtain baseline data of the quality of sur-
face water in the town. The program involved obtain-
ing some basic water testing equipment to determine
the following parameters: Dissolved Oxygen, Bio-
chemical Oxygen Demand, pH, Temperature, Visi-
bility and Bacterial analysis. The program, started
in June 1979, will continue through the summer of
1980. The data obtained from the 30-35 sampling
sites will enable the town to construct programs for
the protection of the surface waters. Preliminary data
indicates that the majority of the sites tested have
92 good sanitary guidelines. The data in these cases
will serve as a model to preserve the existing water
quality.
The septic management program continued with a
major effort to upgrade all septic systems involved in
housing alterations. There was a great deal of inter-
departmental cooperation to enforce this upgrading
and as a result approximately 200 more septic sys-
tems now meet the requirements of the Environmen-
tal Health Code Title V.
The Board of Health, with the assistance of the Visit-
ing Nurse Association, provided several Communi-
cable Disease Control Programs. One program was
the immunization of 985 elderly and chronically ill
people against the current flu organisms. A program
of assistance to the schools was provided to ensure
the proper immunization of school children. Several
clinics were held in the schools to provide needed
immunizations. The Health Department will continue
to work with the schools to provide immunization
programs.
The County Laboratory provided analysis of drinking
water samples and also provided a quality control
for the surface water sampling program. County
Sanitarians also provided assistance when staff
needs were inadequate to keep up with the work
load.
A rabies clinic was offered to immunize dogs. Many
pet owners took advantage of the low at -cost rabies
immunization program.
The enforcement of the State Sanitary Code, Article
II, Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habita-
tion continued to be a major demand service for the
protection of the public health. Hundreds of com-
plaints were investigated. All inspections were recor-
ded and deficiencies pointed out to the owners. A
period of time to make needed repairs was provided.
The program was successful in that once the owners
were notified the repairs were generally made on a
voluntary compliance basis. However, some cases
did require prosecution. The Health Department
must continue to spend a great deal of time in hous-
ing code enforcement in order to insure that all the
citizens have a safe and healthy place to live.
The enforcement of the Housing and Space -Use
By -Law continued with the support of the Police De-
partment. Deficiencies were noted in the reporting
system and they must be corrected to eliminate
multiple complaints which can issue from a single
residence. This will require closer cooperation be-
tween the Police and Health Departments. Real
Estate agents were notified of the problems and have
been asked to assist in the elimination of overcrowd-
ed housing by carefully explaining the housing laws
to tenants.
The Health Advisory Committee provided the Board
of Health and Health Department with guidance on
health related matters. The committee reviewed the
existing Stable Regulations and recommended sev-
eral new changes. The committee also recommen-
ded new regulations for the keeping of poultry and
swine within the town. The six-inember committee
devoted many hours to reviewing Human Service
budget requests and submitting recommendations
to the Board of Health and Finance Committee.
The year ended with the resignation of the Health
Officer. A search is now being made to employ a new
Health Officer in order to continue with programs and
procedures to protect the Public Health.

Report of the
Veterans' Agent
Herewith is the 1979 Annual Report of the District
Department of Veterans' Services:
The year of 1979 was a year of many changes within
our Department. Long-time employees of our De-
partment, Josephine Angell and Olive Ritter, both
retired during the year. Their positions have been
most ably filled by Peggy Wood and Lois Cross who
have stepped in and done a remarkable job making
my job easier. I thank them both.
A second change occurred when the Town of Barn-
stable moved into their new quarters. Our office
moved out of the "dungeon" and into a first floor Investigator
location making it easier to get to for everyone es-
pecially the handicapped.
aware of the changes pertaining to or which may af-
fect their benefits; as well as the need of making
referrals to the associated agencies of the Veterans
Administration, Social Security Department, De-
partment of Public Welfare and the Division of Em-
ployment Security.
In the past year, our office participated in the State/
Federal Emergency Fuel Program Grants by assist-
ing the veterans and their families in establishing
eligibility for the much needed aid during the current
high cost of energy time.
Welcome to Lois Cross and Peggy Wood, our two
newly appointed staff members to the Department
of Veterans' Services. I wish to extend my apprecia-
tion for the support they rendered this past year.
George C. Christopulos
I like to take this opportunity to thank my Investigator,

Health Promotion and Health Assessment visits
make possible determination of an individuals needs,
regardless of age and afford a mechanism for his or
her entry to the health system. Should nursing care
be needed, the V.N.A. arranges these services
directly or through referral.
Direct Care Services provided through the V.N.A.
are usually covered by third party insurance (Medi-
care, Medicaid, Blue Cross, Veterans Administra-
tion).
When not covered by insurance, service is provided
at full or adjusted fees. With increased visit costs,
increasing numbers of people with limited income
and insurance will need fee adjustments. The Visit-
ing Nurse Association fund raising activities are anti-
cipated to continue to meet this direct care fiscal
deficit so that needed service will always be available
regardless of ability to pay. Direct Care visits are co-
ordinated by the individual's physician and are tail-
ored to individual needs. Direct Care Services in-
clude nursing, physical, occupational and speech
therapy, medical social work and home health aides.

Report of the Yarmouth
Council on Aging
For the past ten years we keep saying "My, it's been
an extremely busy year." Truly the past year has
been one of the busiest since the Council was
formed. The Yarmouth Council on Aging has en-
riched the lives of some 6,500 persons over the age
of 59.
Groups of enthusiastic busy people crowd the portals
to receive instructions in needlepoint, oil painting,
quilting, rug hooking, wood carving, bridge, dancing,
romance languages, physical fitness, and lip read-
ing. The past year we have had a psychologist and
a nutritionist on counseling on a 1 to 1 basis. The
Barnstable County Extension Service has provided
group learning for those who wanted to develop skills
in rush and cane seating.
During this year we have inaugurated a C.O.D. pro-
gram (Companionship overnight and day) which has
been very well received. We do serve as a liaison
between the client and the provider. With inflation
and the cost of fuel it has been necessary to set up
counseling to assist with the filling out of forms for
obtaining the necessary help from both State and
Federal Governments. This has kept our office extra
busy.
Since our population statistics indicate that women
are in the majority, it is to be expected that they take
considerable interest in the craft and skill courses.
The men, yes, and some of the women are interested
in the wood carving classes held weekly. The men
come into their own on their "play day" which gives
them an opportunity to enjoy the sociability of their
peers. Bridge, poker, pool, cribbage and chess are
all very popular pasttimes. Not to be outdone, how-
ever, the women have their cribbage session and the
pegs fly each Friday afternoon.
Duplicate bridge has practically outgrown the Center
and if one were to drop in on a Monday afternoon you
might question "Just what is going on?" The Center
buzzes with twenty or more tables playing.
The Mixed Bowling teams are in their sixth season
and now meet with the Singles group in hotly con-
tested sessions each Wednesday.
Filling out Medicare and Medex forms for claims are
a necessary and yet sometimes perplexing nui-
sances for most. We are fortunate to have a group
of trained consultants who give of their time on a
biweekly basis. Volunteer legal and financial advice
is given weekly by trained personnel.

96
Many affiliated with the Center find that they have
common interests and a Mixed Chorus of approxi-
mately 80 members make many personal appear-
ances both on and off Cape. The orchestra rehears-
es each Thursday afternoon at the Center.
A telephone reassurance line is maintained for the
purpose of contacting on a one to one basis, those
who may appreciate a daily friendly call. Periodic
hearing tests are held also.
Classes, interest groups and all activities would be
in vain if health maintenance were not a viable part
of this busy program. A retired Boston Doctor with
the assistance of two retired registered nurses oper-
ate a Blood Pressure and Counseling Service at the
Center each Wednesday, serving on an average of
70 persons each week. We keep in touch with all
who are identified with the Center through a 6,500
piece mailing monthly.

Report of the
Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of Yarmouth:
We are pleased to submit this Annual Report of the
Planning Board for the year 1979.
The year 1979 has been an extremely busy one for
the Board. The Planning Board has reviewed and
acted upon 24 preliminary subdivision plans 4 of
which in turn were reviewed and acted upon as
definitive subdivision plans. The Board also reviewed
and acted upon 44 approval not required plans creat-
ing a total of 125 new lots.
We were pleased to have Mrs. Janet White join our
Board through annual town election in April. We also
became an expanded seven -member, appointed
Board during Annual Town Meeting in April. Soon
thereafter, Mr. Steven Shuman, Architect, and Dr.
Fritz Lindquist, Educator, were appointed by the
Board of Selectmen to fill the two newly created
seats.
In June, the Board contracted the services of Mr.
Bruce Tsuchida, Townscape Associates, to work
with us on a planning project report which would be
presented to the Board of Selectmen and the Fi-
nance Committee in December. Indeed a progress
report was presented in December describing some
18 proposed policies for the Town and 42 recommen-
ded projects for various departments within the Town
to undertake or continue. The report was accepted
and endorsed by the Board of Selectmen at a meet-
ing of the combined Boards on December 11, 1979.
During the preparation of our planning report, we
identified the need for a revision of the Town's Con-
servation -Recreation Plan which was filed with the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Con-
servation Services in 1974. A committee was formed
and work on a new revised plan begun. The Board
intends to have the completed plan submitted to the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Con-
servation Services by March, 1980. If the revised
plan is accepted, the Town will again be eligible for up
to 50% funding for the acquisition of conservation
land and up to 50% funding for the acquisition and/or
development of recreation land.
The Board at the close of 1979 is preparing revised
zoning proposals for presentation at the Annual
Town Meeting in April, 1980. The Board has also
recommended to the Board of Selectmen, Finance
Committee, and Personnel Board that an article
creating the position of Town Planner for the Town
to be responsible to the Executive Secretary be
placed in the warrant for the 1980 Annual Town
Meeting.
1980 is quickly shaping up to be another busy year
for this Board. As the Town of Yarmouth grows, so do
the responsibilities of this Board and all other Boards.
We look forward to a new year in which the town will
make further strides in continuing to provide a com-
munity her people are proud to live in.

Report of the
Highway
Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and Citizens of Yarmouth:
In the fiscal year 1979-80, the accomplishments of
the Highway Department as in previous years, were
numerous and varied.
Seven roads carried over from 1978-79 were either
re -constructed or resurfaced and completed. Seven
roads that were approved in 1979-80 were com-
pleted that year and three more roads will be com-
pleted in 1980-81, that will be carry over roads.
Each year we are making substantial progress by
eliminating drainage problems throughout the town.
Vandalism of street signs is a major concern to this
department and is a costly expense to the town. The
department has tried new techniques and methods
as has other communities throughout the Common-
wealth, but to no avail.
The gasoline allocations for this department was cut
35% from the previous years total supply, therefore,
we did not sweep as many streets as we usually do.
Fuel shortage and cost have prevented us to run our
routine schedule as we have each year. We hope to
be able to accomplish much more this coming fiscal
year.
I wish to express my thanks to the Highway Depart-
ment Staff, the citizens and other town departments
for their cooperation and support throughout the
years.
Respectfully submitted,
Lloyd H. Dauphinais
Highway Surveyor
Report of the
Water
Commissioners
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith sub-
mits its annual report for the calendar year 1979.
Present number of active services 11,835
Services installed during 1979 365
Gallons pumped during
calendar 1979 1,067,100,000 gals.
Miles of main added to system 1.70+
Approximate miles of main in system 258.60+
Present number of hydrants 1,504
Water mains by size installed during 1979:
6" — 578 feet+
8" — 3,763 feet+
12" — 4,631 feet+
8,972 feet+ 1.70+ Miles
During calendar 1979 the Water Department in-
stalled or arranged for the installation of 365 new
service connections, 1.70+ miles of main, and 25
hydrants. Total gallons pumped was an unprecen-
dented one billion gallons (1,067,100,000), an in-
crease of 8.42 percent. This represents 247 gallons
per service per day. The peak pumping day was
July 22, 1979 when 7,827,000 gallons were pumped.
51.62 inches of rainfall was recorded at the Union
Street pumping station.
The department's test well program continued during
1979. Several areas were tested and found suitable
for more detailed testing. If these test results confirm
the original findings and the Massachusetts Depart-
ment of Environmental Engineering approves the
sites, the Board of Water Commissioners will ask
the Annual Town Meeting of 1980 to approve the ac-
quisition of the land for wellfield purposes.
Work on pumping station #20 will be completed
during the spring of 1980 and it is expected to be fully
operational during 1980. Construction of gravel
packed wells 21 and 22, complete with pumping
stations and equipment, will, with Town Meeting
approval, start this summer.
In cooperation with the Insurance Services Office
and the Yarmouth Fire Department, the Water De-
partment conducted flow tests within the town during
1979. As a result of these tests, the Board is pleased
to announce that the fire protection rate has changed
from a 5C to a 4B. This is a substantial improvement,
and due to the most part, to an improved water dis-
tribution system and increased storage facilities.
The Commissioners wish to thank all of those people
who have, either individually or collectively helped
the department maintain a quality level of service.
The cooperation of other departments, agencies or
governing bodies is most appreciated. We would
especially like to express our thanks to the entire
staff of the department for their continued loyal and
dedicated service.

Report of the
Building
Department
The Building Department has had another exception-
ally busy year due to a new Building Code being
introduced in June of 1979 and a new Code covering
the installation of wood and coal stoves and chim-
neys. A Federal Temperature Restriction Law is in
effect now and we are trying to encourage everyone
to cut back to save some type of energy.
We are now contacting all business establishments
to take out a Use of Occupancy Permit, which gives
the Town the names etc. of the owners of these busi-
nesses.
The regular number of inspections has increased
due to the new energy code and this adds at least
(3) three more calls per permit.
All plans for buildings now have to be checked to be
sure they are approved for Flood Plain, Conservation
and this makes more consultations, both in the office
and at the proposed site.
Report of the
Engineering
Department
To the Board of Selectmen and the
Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
As in previous years, the accomplishments of the
Engineering Department were numerous and varied
for the year 1979.
Five roads were laid out for acceptance and con-
struction and five new subdivision roads were ac-
cepted, which were inspected by the department
through all phases of construction in accordance
with Planning Board Rules and Regulations.
Of a total of fifty-five drainage projects on a high
priority list, twenty-three of the projects were com-
pleted eliminating serious problems in several areas
of the Town, twenty-three plans are drawn, of which
some of the jobs are in progress, leaving only nine
on the current list.
Maps and plans were drawn for many other Depart-
ments, Boards and Commissions within the Town

Report of the
Park Department
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen

and maintenance of Town beaches and parks,

months due to the retirement of the Park Manager. systems, from 5,761,300 gallons to 5,597,200 gall -
A new Park Manager was hired in November, and ons.
this should improve the efficiency of the operation.
The Boardwalk at Bass Hole, which was severely
damaged in the blizzard of February 1978, was re-
stored with the aid of federal funds.
The Footbridge at Colonial Acres was damaged by
heavy ice and required expensive repairs.
In the summer of '79 a fully graded program of swim-
ming lessons was offered in the town. Instruction
took place at Dennis Pond, Englewood and Sea Gull
Beaches. Due to restrictions on the use of Dennis
Pond, the Commission is searching for another
location for the floating docks, which are needed to
implement lessons for advanced swimmers.
An open meeting was held in November to solicit
suggestions from the citizens as to how to handle
the problems of over crowding and of behavior at Sea
Gull Beach. These have been considered in our
search for solutions. With the cooperation of the
Police Department we hope to make this area safer
and more pleasant for people of all ages. We hope
the citizens will have patience and recognize that the
space is finite and not large enough on many occa-
sions to accommodate all who want to be on the
beach at any one given time.
Revenue from our three sticker beaches was $85,
805., a decrease of $1,603. from 1978 but an in-
crease of $3,805. over 1977.

Report of the
Department of
Sanitation
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of Yarmouth:
During this year 1979 the revenue at the landfill
increased from $67,500.15 in 1978 to $68,457.65.
Solid wastes increased from 174.101 cubic yards to
183.437 cubic yards. Septic pumping decreased
this year, due to the renovations of many problem
Vehicles entering the landfill increased again this
year from 260,291 to 301,638. This averages 833
vehicles per day.
As well as sanitary procedures we also recycle news-
paper, white metal, aluminum and glass. All glass
must be sorted by colors - white, green and brown.
All metal ring and caps must be removed from the
bottles. A Recycling Committee was appointed this
fall and are now working to improve our recycling
programs.
The landfill area is open 362 days a year. Closing
only for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years
Day.
The Sanitation Department constantly assists other
departments and commissions of the town in the
performance of various projects that have saved the
taxpayers $12,390.00 this year alone.
The Sanitation Department would also like to extend
thanks to all the other departments of the town that
have assisted us this year.

Report of the
Tree Warden
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
During the past year, forty-three shade and flowering
trees of two inch to two and one-half inch caliber were
planted throughout the town. Maples, Lindens and
flowering Cherry trees were the varieties chosen as
they seem to thrive in this area. Many of these trees
were planted in places where Elm or large Pine trees
had been removed. Trees hit by automobiles during
the year were taken care of by this department.
Wounds were dressed and trees straightened. Sev-
eral were saved but two trees were completely
broken off.
Many over -grown corners and intersections were cut
back for better visibility throughout the town, and
many low -hanging branches over sidewalks were
pruned back to clear ways for pedestrians.
99
100
After several windstorms this past year, this depart-
ment cleaned up many fallen branches and broken
limbs along the town roadways.
Dutch Elm Department
During the past year this department removed
twenty-four diseased and dead Elm trees. Samples
of questionable Elm trees were taken and sent to the
Shade Tree Laboratories at the University of Massa-
chusetts. The results showed only two of all samples
taken were sterile. The rest were tagged for removal.
Large stumps left at the time of tree removal were
removed with the stumper at intervals during the year
when several could be done in one day.
Foliage spraying of remaining Elm trees in town took
place during the summer months. This application of
insecticide is an attempt to control the Elm Leaf
Beetle.
Insect Pest Control
The Nantucket Pine Tip Moth continues to be a prob-
lem in the same areas of town where it has been a
problem in past years. The cycle takes place once
during the year with the needles of the Pine trees
turning an orange -brown color usually early in July.
The timing of the application of insecticide is crucial

With the acquisition by the Town of a new Patrol Boat
for the Lewis Bay Area, increased patrol in the shal-
low estuaries will now be possible.
Night patrols will be continued on all waters along
with strict enforcement of Town and State water
related laws.
This is the twenty-third anniversary of the inception
of Town owned and operated patrol boats. This patrol
activity has made our harbors safe and pleasant for
those who wish to use them.
New buoys to replace the forty -year old entrance
markers at Bass River hopefully will be installed this
spring. These will be radar reflective for the benefit
of many new commercial vessels now using the
Bass River Facilities.
Citizens are reminded to contact the Harbormaster
Department for mooring locations as early as possi-
ble.
Respectfully submitted,
John Silver

Report of the Dennis -Yarmouth
REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE
1979 will be remembered as the year of change in
Committee membership. Robert W. Saben, Jr., who
had served both as Chairman and Treasurer, had
chosen not to be a candidate for re-election. Sheila
A. Gagnon, whose interest in the District had been
demonstrated by her participation in numerous
school -related activities, was elected by the voters
of the Town of Yarmouth. Matthew J. McNamara, a
school -oriented and civic -minded resident of Dennis,
was selected in the elections of that town.
105
106
Early in the summer, Anna M. Barthelmes was forced
to resign because of ill health, with Loretta J. Kemp,
of Yarmouth Port, being appointed by the Selectmen
to fill the vacancy occasioned by her resignation. In
mid -summer, four additional members resigned.
Once again, the Yarmouth Selectmen were called
upon to make appointments for the interim period
until the annual election in April, 1980. Those ap-
pointed were: Robert W. Saben, Jr., Ann -Louise
Morris, I. Carleton Luke and John W. Nichols.
It was necessary for the Committee to hold an elec-
tion to replace three officers who had been among
those whose resignations had been accepted in June
and July. In August, the following slate of officers
emerged:
Alice C. Hofmann, Chairman
Matthew J. McNamara. Vice -Chairman
Sheila A. Gagnon, Secretary
Robert W. Saben, Jr., Treasurer
In December, Mr. Saben resigned as member and
Treasurer. with Mr. Luke being appointed Treasurer.
The Yarmouth Selectmen will be interviewing can-
didates for an appointment to fill the membership
vacancy.
The Building Committee membership, diminished
by resignations, has been complemented by the
services of Mrs. Gagnon. Mrs. Kemp and Mr. McNa-
mara.
In spite of the foregoing vicissitudes, the work of the
Committee has continued. Our Superintendent has
been a constant in the maze of variables, and we are
grateful for his constancy.
Largely because of the munificent gift of the Yar-
mouth Trust Commissioners and the interest accru-
ing from funds presented in behalf of the Ann Cas-
tonguay Memorial, the Committee, as Trustees of
the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District
Scholarship Fund, awarded scholarships totaling
almost $8,500.00 at graduation. Other awards in
the amount of nearly $600.00 were made possible
through the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce,
drama proceeds, the "West" Fund and a balance
from the miscellaneous contribution fund. We ac-
knowledge with sorrow the passing of A. Harold
Castonguay, through whose beneficence the Ann
Castonguay Memorial Fund came into being.
It is our privilege, as members of the Dennis -Yar-
mouth Regional School District Committee, to be
involved in and make some contribution — however
small — to the educational process. It is our feeling
that there is no more important challenge than to
have a part in the building of young lives because —
in the words of John Ruskin — "when we build, let
us think we build forever."

Report of
JOSEPH E. KILLORY,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
It is with pleasure that I submit this, my fifth, annual
report to the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth. As we
enter a new decade we find the nation in a somber
and frustrated mood. Paradoxes have become a way
of life in that we expect more from our government
agencies while placing limits on their spending. We,
at the time this is written, don't know whether to send
troops to fight with or against Iran, and we are pre-
pared to actively risk lives to maintain oil supplies but
not to ration gasoline.
It can be a time for despair or a time for hope and as
a professional educator, I prefer the latter. I believe
that the present generation of children and youth,
despite the increased complexity of life, will rise to
whatever the occasion demands if they go forth
armed with good intellects and knowledge which we
attempt to provide. Our students continue to achieve
above national norms on standardized tests and to
pursue higher education at a rate above both state
and national averages. We, not unlike most other
communities, however, have a high percentage of
students who do not receive high school diplomas.
Dropouts, contrary to popular belief, represent all
ability levels, not just slow learners; most have ad-
justment problems relating to their personal lives.
We have mounted an attack at all levels to decrease
this high percentage. Elementary and middle school
principals are reviewing the names of their former
students for the purpose of developing better detec-
tion methods. We plan to use available federal funds
to hire a social worker to help those with adjustment
problems that manifest themselves at this critical
age. The Department of Employment Security with
the help of CETA funds will provide a requested job
counsellor at the high school. Our high school staff
is developing ways to reduce the number and our
guidance counsellors will maintain better contact
with those who have dropped out in order that they
may encourage their return when they are ready.
Our community education, athletic, music, drama,
club, etc. programs will continue to be emphasized
since we know involved students are less apt to drop
„,,+
Turning to fiscal matters, you should know that we
face an increase of about $300,000. in 1980-81 as a
direct result of energy cost increases despite our
efforts at insulating, converting incandescent to
fluorescent lights, and setting thermostats back. This
alone is about 3% of our operating budget and cannot
help but be a continuing economic concern since a
one cent a gallon increase represents $1,000 a year
in gasoline costs and 33,000 in fuel oil costs.
I am happy to report that, barring unforeseen num-
bers of new families, Dennis will not need additional
building for as far as I can project into the future.
Wixon School will be slightly over capacity for the
next three years and then should ease a little.
Yarmouth's decreased elementary population has
now reached grade three and, as it moves up one
grade each year, we shall have an annual reduction
of two or three teachers to be handled in most cases
by attrition. Yarmouth's 1979 births (1984 kinder-
garten) are higher than the previous four years;
therefore, any exploration of a school conversion to
a new town hall would be premature.
In closing, I should like to thank all the staff for their
continuing effort on behalf of our students and the
School Committee for its sincere interest in the edu-
cational needs of the District. School Committees
continue to be caught between educational needs
and fiscal limitations and the communities are in-
debted to these men and women for their dedication
of time and thought.
Report of
DR. KILBURN E. CULLEY, JR.,
DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION
This year the Instruction Office has been working
with the School Committee's Curriculum Subcom-
mittee to develop a position paper defining curricu-
lum and curriculum development procedures for the
District. That process is nearly complete and we look
forward to soon having an adopted statement which
will guide all our future efforts in the curriculum area.
One of the courses which served as a model for the
development of the position paper was the Romance
Language course at the middle school level. That
course was thoroughly revised and successfully
implemented in its new form this year. We anticipate
an evaluation of the course in the spring to provide
even further direction to our program development
efforts.
The District's Title I program, which provides com-
pensatory education in reading and mathematics to
students whose achievement is significantly behind
that of their peers, was considerably improved this
year with the introduction of a new testing program
that specifically lists each child's skill needs and with
the use of a new set of entrance criteria to more care-
fully identify the students most in need of services.
The appointment of a new Regional Department
Head for Title I promises that this program will con-
tinue to receive attention and support. The recent
Title I parent meetings held in the schools have been
more heavily attended and enthusiastically conduct-
ed than in the past, a change we welcome, encour-
age and appreciate.
The Instruction Office has played a key role in plan-
ning for the District's implementation next year of the
Massachusetts "Basic Skills Improvement Policy".
Through the Instruction Office a Steering Committee
has been established and has been meeting to de-
termine how and when we will test student achieve-
ment and how we will adjust curriculum and instruc-
tion to meet the needs of any children who do not
demonstrate basic skill competency. The Steering
Committee includes representative parents, stu-
dents, teachers, School Committee members,
employers, the general public, and school adminis-
trators. Personnel from the Instruction Office chair
the subcommittees which are preparing our plans
for insuring the necessary student competency in the
basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics.
The in-service education of teachers continues to be
a major concern of the Instruction Office, and Instruc-
tion Office personnel have been instrumental in
bringing to the Cape graduate level programs leading
to Masters' Degrees in Education and Certificates of
Advanced Graduate Study in Education. Instruction
Office personnel have also continued to offer and
to sponsor a variety of workshops of interest and
benefit to the teachers of Dennis and Yarmouth.
Community and Adult Education have continued to
be important facets of the District's overall education-
al effort. Through Community Education the local
school councils have been able to offer to students,
their parents, and other interested citizens a variety
of after school and week -end activities, as well as
enrichment programs within the regular school day.
Adult Education has sponsored courses in practical
arts, maintenance, crafts and athletics, plus academ-
ic and occupational subjects. Enrollment in the Adult
Education classes has increased nearly two hundred
over last year.
Finally, the Instruction Office continues to pursue
sources of federal funding to assist with the school
programs wherever possible. It is our continuing goal
to develop and support the highest quality of educa-
tion for the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth at a
reasonable and efficient level of expenditure.

Report of
THOMAS M. LA GRASTA,
COORDINATOR OF
SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES
The special needs program has made significant
progress during the past year. Full-time school
psychological services are now available at each of
the seven schools in the District. The result has been
an improvement in the evaluation of students re-
ferred for possible inclusion in the special needs
program, and an expansion of counselling for stu-
dents and parents.
The District is fortunate this year to house the pre-
school language program of the Cape Cod Collab-
orative at the South Yarmouth Elementary School.
The acceptance of this program by the entire school
staff is a fitting example of the intent of Chapter 766;
that is, children with special needs should be edu-
cated within public school settings whenever appro-
priate.
At Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School the pro-
gram for adolescents with moderate special needs
has moved into its new classroom location that was
specifically designed for this program. -Students are
receiving vocational training in work settings estab-
lished in the classroom, in the school cafeteria and
108 store, and at the Yarmouth Fire Department. This
exposure to the world of work will better prepare
these students once they leave the Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional High School.
Three new programs for students with special needs
have been established in cooperation with Cape Cod
Regional Technical High School. The first is the
Assessment Center Program in which students
spend ten days at Tech. During this period they are
evaluated in different career clusters so that the
school staff can more appropriately plan with the
students and their parents vocational training at
either Cape Cod Regional Technical High School or
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School.
The second program is the Skills Center where
selected students receive daily vocational training
at the Friendship School in Brewster, and receive
academic instruction at the Dennis -Yarmouth Re-
gional High School.
The last program is the Extended Day Program for
students who are potential drop -outs. Students re-
ceive academic instruction at Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional High School for three periods per day. In
the afternoon the students receive vocational training
at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School.
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District is
continuing to strive for expansion of educational
opportunities for students with special needs. This
expansion is being undertaken in a cost effective
manner, and with the support of staff, parents and
neighboring school districts.
Report of
ROBERT J.G. BARLOW,
DISTRICT SUPERVISOR OF
MATHEMATICS/SCIENCE
Inservice education programs in the sciences in-
cluded one in the principles of proper nutrition educa-
tion and one in bringing the environment in the class-
room. The former was developed in collaboration
with the State Nutritionist and the latter in collabora-
tion with the Barnstable County Extension Service.
A significant portion of the activity of this program this
year has been the development.and implementation
of a program by which the study of the metric system
has been standardized at each grade level and
between the schools involved. A major inservice
education seminar to assist the teachers in presen-
tation of metric related materials was held this year.
The metric curriculum in place in our district has been
abstracted from the materials developed in the U.S.
Office of Education field tests at each grade 'level.
Modifications in our existing curriculum materials
have been made on the basis of a series of meetings
with the staff involved in the mathematics and the
science areas. By these meetings and a series of
curriculum -related decisions, we have been able to
improve district wide consistency in any given area.
This year the science regional testing program has
been better defined and developed. At the same time
the mathematics regional testing information feed-
back to teaching staff has been speeded. We have
begun planning for the mathematics basic compe-
tency testing mandated for all districts by the State of
Massachusetts. This coming year will see our plans
become operational.
This office has been instrumental in the formation
and development of a new Cape Cod wide Mathe-
matics League involving area high schools.
An ongoing concern of the Coordinator has been
the effective use of community resources in both
mathematics and science programs. One outcome
of that concern has been the production of a resource
directory for field trips in both subjects. A second
outcome has been cooperative work with the Town
of Yarmouth in effective development of the Callery
Tract as an environmental education resource to be
easily accessible to school classes of the district.
The concern has been reflected in the formation of
a new Life Service Mathematics course for.the high
school.
This office will continue to plan inservice education
programs, to evaluate teaching staff, to offer consul-
tant assistance to teachers in many areas of their
concern, to promote teacher participation in regional
and national professional conferences, to evaluate
the effectiveness of district curricula and to modify
them where advisable.
Report of
DR. THERESE J. D'ABRE,
COMMUNICATIVE ARTS COORDINATOR
This department has been actively monitoring the
new kindergarten curriculum. This curriculum bonds
a communicative arts strand from kindergarten
through grade 12. Informational meetings have been
held with parents and teachers of kindergarten stu-
dents and parents of pre-school age children to
acquaint the public and staff with the significance of
the document.
The material for a core reading program from grade
1 through grade 6 is in place except for grade 2.
Grade 2 implementation will take place in September
1980. The text purchases which followed last year's
adoptions are being reinforced by teacher work-
shops, classroom supervision, and demonstration
lessons. The criterion referenced testing which is
basic to the core reading program is working well as
an adjunct to the established Regional Testing Pro-
gram.
Considerable attention has been given to developing
a consistent penmanship program and to developing
an effective plan for dictionary purchase and use.
The vocabulary program in grades 4 through 12 has
been vitalized with a testing program and teacher -
made instructional materials. Grade 5 vocabulary
materials and spelling units were created in a sum-
mer workshop directed by the Communicative Arts
Coordinator.
The Massachusetts Basic Skills Improvement Policy
has added another dimension to the work of this
department. My responsibilities as Chairman of the
Reading Subcommittee of the District's Basic Skills
Improvement Program requires the organizing of
teachers, students, administrators, parents, and
other representatives of the community to put in
place the reading component of the program.
The Communicative Arts Coordinator continues to
meet regularly with teachers from kindergarten
through grade 8 and the English Department Chair of
Dennis -Yarmouth High School, to supervise and
coordinate the content of the curriculum from kinder-
garten through grade 12, and to write and distribute
regional tests and supplementary curriculum materi-
als. In addition, the Communicative Arts Director
works with the Director of Instruction, Dr. Kilburn
Culley; the Special Needs Director. Mr. Thomas
LaGrasta: and the Math -Science Coordinator. Mr.
Robert Barlow: on the Title I Board of Directors.
Report of
PETER A. GAVIN,
COORDINATOR OF BUILDINGS,
GROUNDS & TRANSPORTATION
In the 1978 Annual Town Report, the Office of Coor-
dinator of Buildings. Grounds and Transportation
spelled out the district's requirements in educational
and experience qualifications for this position: scope
of work intended in the maintenance of all properties:
and for safe and reasonable bus transportation of
students.
The report also spelled out the Performance Respon-
sibilities which. in general. is to develop efficient cus-
todial and maintenance procedures with our people:
to determine what physical repairs and replacements
are needed and economically proceed to fruition: to
coordinate with the Office of the Director of Fiscal
Affairs to properly administer the daily busing trans-
portation program ... and to perform other duties as
may be assigned by the Director.
The Office of Buildings. Grounds and Transportation
Coordinator was formulated just three (3) years ago.
It may be of interest to review. without going into
detail. some of the major improvement expenditures
made in the past three years in our seven school
district in the 'Contracted Series" — which is work by
qualified contractors.

mouth Elem. and added fire detection system.
E. Installed dehumidifier in library and miscellan-
eous partition work at Wixon Middle.
F. Some partition work. interior painting at Ezra
Baker Elem.
G. Attic insulation at John Simpkins. So. Yarmouth
and Ezra Baker.
A program of Energy Conservation was introduced
to each school with changing of some incandescent
fixtures to fluorescents: regulating the exterior air
changes: reducing room and hot water temperatures.
The largest conservation measures were made in
updating the heating systems with the Dennis -Yar-
mouth High School's old heating system being ex-
tremely renovated. It will soon be further updated
with the installation of a dual fuel oil and natural gas
combination burners and controls.
Report of
ALAN E. DECOURCEY,
FOOD SERVICE COORDINATOR
The Food Services Department of the Dennis -Yar-
mouth Regional School District averages over
650,000 meals per year in seven locations with
fifty-three (53) employees. The District has a growing
breakfast program, a progressive lunch plan and an
active a la carte participation at Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional High School. The District also services the
N.E.E.D. Collaborative in Truro. where we are pre-
sently feeding 25-30 children three meals per day.
At present we enjoy a 75°i° lunch participation at the
elementary schools. 91% at the middle schools and
90% at the high school. We hope that with a realign-
ment of menu patterns at the elementary school level
we can increase to equal that of the rest of the sys-
tem. It is interesting to note that the state average for
overall lunch participation is 68%.
All of our purchasing is centralized through the Food
Coordinator's office and is done on a competitive
quote basis using five or more main suppliers. Items
such as milk. bread. linen and ice cream are put out
to bid on a yearly basis. Most of the bulk purchases
are now warehoused at the Mattacheese Middle
School in the former bakery area.
With constant stress on quality and services, con-
tinuing modification of our programs, and prudent
purchasing. we hope to give the child of the Dennis -
Yarmouth School District the type of Food Service
Program they deserve.
Report of
DANIEL W. NICHOLSON, PRINCIPAL
DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Above many successes during the year stands the
one accomplishment directly attributable to the
people of Dennis and Yarmouth — the completion of
the High School addition. A four million dollar project
- the addition represents endless hours of planning,
months of patience during the construction period,
and the unmeasured gratitude of future generations
of students to benefit from the sacrifices of the citizen
of today.
Along with the near 1500 students who use the build-
ing on a daily basis has been the large enrollment in
the community education programs in the evening.
Four hundred or more adults have attended weekly
classes in the expanded adult education offerings.
The new facilities and equipment— particularly in the
Art, Home Economics, Shop and Library areas —
have proven attractive to many and enjoyable to
young and old alike.
Within the High School program, several events
dominated the headlines of the year. Dramatics
captivated the school with outstanding performances
in the winter and again in the fall. "Pippin" played to
sell-out crowds and unanimous accolades from the
reviewers. In November and December "Camelot"
duplicated the success of the winter production.
Perhaps no single group did more for the school than
the D -Y Marching Band. With great strides made in
size and quality, the band was invited to participate
in the Florida Citrus Festival in February. While
competing in the Sunshine State they were high-
lighted as the feature band at Disney World in Or-
lando.
Athletically, tradition and spirit were coupled into a
most successful year. Few schools can match the
record of attaining state playoff status in seven sports
— Girls' Gymnastics and Basketball and Boys' Ice
Hockey, Baseball, Tennis, Cross Country and, par-
ticularly. Golf where D -Y emerged as the Massachu-
setts State Champion.
As usual, the student participation in all sports was
far above average, student conduct commendable,
and school spirit outstanding.
But — with headlines and hoopla aside — the real
function of a school is learning and achievement. And
it is in these areas that D -Y continues to show the
greatest improvement.
Eight of our senior students were recognized by the
National Merit Scholarship Corporation program.
Two of these — David Dumas and Christopher Snell
— were named Finalists in the academic competi-
tion, a status reserved for only the top half of one
percent of the state's graduating seniors. Six others
received Letters of Commendation for their outstand-
ing performances.
College Board scores continue to reflect "higher -
than -national" averages in both the Verbal and
Mathematics areas of the S.A.T. Similarly, the in-
creased numbers of high scoring Sophomores and
Juniors in the P.S.A.T. augur well for the future.
Essentially, 1979 was a year of completion — of a
building and a decade — and emergence — of a
program, a direction, and a purpose to carry into the
80's. Due to the generosity and awareness of the two
communities, Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High
School is in far better position in all ways — physical,
academic and extra -curricular — to meet the chal-
lenges and demands of the decade ahead.

Report of
GARY A. GETCHELL, PRINCIPAL
I am pleased to submit this yearly report as I once
again assume the position of principal of the Matta -
cheese Middle School. I wish to thank the Dennis -
Yarmouth Regional School Committee for the oppor-
tunity to go on sabbatical leave and Donald Eldredge
and Carl Zopatti for filling in so ably as Acting Princi-
pal and Acting Assistant Principal in my absence.
The Mattacheese Middle School continues to con-
centrate on teaching students, rather than the sub-
jects, so that education is personalized for each and
every pupil who attends. Pupil progress is closely
monitored to ensure that each student is in an op-
timum learning situation as tailor-made to his/her
individual needs as is possible. A truly flexible sched-
ule allows for changes to be made where needed
during the school year with minimal disruption.
Organizationally speaking, Mattacheese functions
with teams of teachers instructing teams of pupils.
Grade six is so structured that the academic areas
(reading, math, social studies, English, science) can
be taught by two, three, four or five different teachers.
In this way, incoming students may be placed in an
academic setting which will not overwhelm them.
Those pupils who are more comfortable with a mini-
mum number of different teachers meet with two or
three for all of their academics. Pupils who can suc-
cessfully interact with more teachers see four or five.
Grades seven and eight are organized on a school -
within -a -school basis where two mutually exclusive
teams of teachers in each grade are assigned one -
111
112
half of the pupils in each grade. Thus, a pupil is part
of a "mini school" of 125 students rather than a whole
grade of 250... or a whole school of 780.
Each student spends one double period per day in a
related arts program of studies. Within a five-day
cycle, the pupil has two double periods of physical
education, one double period of arts or crafts (one
semester of each), one double period of home econ-
omics or industrial arts, and a single period of music
backed up with a single period of instrumental music,
library science, health or study.
Activities available to our young people include a full
program of fall, winter and spring sports which allow
for both team and individual participation; an ever
growing band and chorus program; the Mattacheese
Players (our successful theatrical organization); and
individual clubs. Participation in the after-school pro-
gram exceeds two-thirds of the student body.
Mattacheese has increased home/school communi-
cations through the Morning at Mattacheese pro-
gram. Every Friday throughout the year four to eight
parents of sixth graders spend three hours at the
school discussing program practices with adminis-
tration, visiting classrooms, talking with teachers
and pupils and eating lunch in our cafeteria. Open
houses have been successful as have the efforts of
Mrs. Edith LeBlanc, our Community Schools Coordi-
nator, to bring parents to monthly meetings and
parenting seminars.
I am proud and pleased to be associated with the
students and staff at this school and feel that all share
a common goal: to cooperatively engage in three
years of educational interaction that will provide for
the best experiences for the students.

Wixon
Middle School
Report of
WILLIAM F. GRIFFITH, PRINCIPAL
The Nathaniel H. .Wixon Middle School continues
to show a slight increase in student population over
the previous year. On October 1, 1979, student en-
rollment was 649 pupils.
With the opening of school in September, a new
assistant principal, Mrs. Nancy Melia, replaced Mr.
Michael McNamara, who resigned to accept a prin-
cipalship in another area of the state. Mr. Glenn
Williams, Special Needs Counselor/School Psychol-
ogist, and Mrs. Karen Samuelson, District Attend-
ance Officer, joined our ranks. Their positions have
proved invaluable in cementing good school -home
relationships.
At the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School we are
continuously studying or grouping patterns to insure
the best education for all. The vast majority of our
students are in heterogeneously grouped classes
with some limited grouping within a subject area.
One advantage to this method of grouping is the
equalization of class size throughout the school.
Our Community School Program continues to enjoy
much success. Under the direction of Mrs. Sharon
Kenney, the excellent programs we had in the past
continue. A new feature added this year is the pre-
sentation of seminars on topics such as Family Life,
Career Awareness, and Alcohol Programs.
As we have noted in the past, the Nathaniel H. Wixon
Middle School is using all available space, but we
still feel that our students continue to have much of
the flexibility of scheduling that we enjoyed pre-
viously. We also feel that we continue to live up to the
basic tenets of the middle school philosophy; that is,
to provide for each student the best education com-
mensurate with his needs, capacities and limitations.
We offer our congratulations to Mr. Walter Nickerson,
School Guidance Counselor, who completed his
educational career and retired in October, 1979. We
all join in an expression of gratitude for his service to
the students at Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School.

School
Report of
WALTER S. MORLEY, PRINCIPAL
For the first time in all the years of my recollection the
trend of enrollment in the Ezra H. Baker School has
ceased its upward surge and has, in fact, receded.
And the decrease for Kindergarten through Grade
Four is substantial, from 760 on October 1, 1978, to
712 on October 1, 1979.
I smile as I reread my reports to the Superintendent
of a few years ago in which I exhorted anybody to
pay attention to our condition and to relieve our space
constrictions before we spilled out into the street.
My exhortations were generally ignored, so we were
forced into an exercise of -ingenuity and imagination
for solutions to our problems. If we conjured up space
or imagined that we had it, there would be no lack of
it.
By moving into closets and lobbies and by shuffling
classes into and out of the Wixon School, we have
survived the times of our trial. Perhaps the towns-
people had confidence that we would. But even with
the present relaxation in numbers, which fly in the
face of the projections by which we were deluded,
there is no solid assurance that this trend is any more
irreversible than the other or that some principal at a
not -too -distant time will be exhorting everybody for
more room. I shall attempt no prophecies, for I have
learned with Matthew that no man is a prophet in his
own land. Rather, I shall quietly enjoy the easing
tensions and hope that eventually we shall be able to
withdraw from the corners that we ran to in our travail
and to live comfortably in a building which at long last
fits us.
May it be clear to all that this is a hope, not a predic-
tion.
Nineteen seventy-nine, as it represents the end of a
school year, saw the successful completion of all of
our field trip and health and safety education plans.
Again we are grateful to the agencies and people
who contributed to their success. Not the least
among these, of course, are the parents who pro-
vided transportation and supervisory assistance for
the majority of the field trips. There would have been
many fewer trips without them.
The Rita D. Winship Award for Good Citizenship was
presented for the first time in June. This scholarship,
established in memory of Mrs. Winship, who was a
teacher here for twenty-two years, recognizes the
ideals and encourages the development of worthy
social action. Its recipient is selected from the mem-
bers of the departing class by all faculty members
who have had contact with it. As time passes, the
selection will be based on a pupil's demonstrated
superior citizenship over a period of four years.
I am pleased to report that the 1979 award was won
by Miss Teresa Teleen. The Ezra H. Baker School is
proud of her and wishes her continued success and
happiness.
The closing of school also brought to a close the ser-
vices to our young violin students of Maestro Frank
Cornwell. I join his colleagues in wishing him a tran-
quil retirement.
That part of 1979 which represents the opening of a
school year brought a number of significant curricular
changes. A new basal reading program, the Econ-
omy Company's "Keys to Reading," was installed
in Grade One; Grade Three adopted the Houghton
Mifflin Reading Series; and the Kindergarten, follow-
ing field-testing last year, formally entered its staff -
produced curriculum.
Adequate indoctrination of, and preparation by,
teachers made the inauguration of these programs
a quiet, smooth, and satisfying experience. School
and district staffs are to be congratulated for their
thoroughly professional work.
In closing let me pray that the public in these times of
shortages, inflation and international unrest will not
be cowed by the pessimistic outcries of doom -sayers
into fearful withdrawals from the realities of life, the
greatest of which is our children and their need for an
ever -increasingly pertinent education. Children are
our most precious resource, so, as we tighten our
budgets and modify our lifestyles in the interests of
economy and conservation, the last resource to be
depleted should be the children. And education
should be the bastion on which we plant our banners
and fight our greatest fight.
Otherwise, tomorrow will be a cloudy day.

Report of

It is with pleasure that I submit this annual report of
the John Simpkins School. The months have passed
and students have experienced the many personali-
ties' programs and related activities of another year.
Hopefully the months have been productive for all
with realistic programs to develop academic poten-
tial, encourage creative awareness and broaden
social emotional experiences. The programs as
similar as they appear are as unique and individual
as the staff and students that participate in them.
Last year with its many programs saw expansion to
meet the needs of students with exceptional poten-
tial. A Junior Great Books discussion group, an Art
Program that entertained guest artists to explore new
mediums to a farm project that developed from the
fertile egg into a productive farm giving each individ-
ual student a place to receive his personal satisfac-
tion. A Community Garden saw two acres of fertile
land, behind the South Yarmouth Elementary School,
turned into twenty productive watered plots with
squash, tomatoes, corn grown in flats in the class-
rooms then transplanted to the plots, citizens of all
ages enjoying the harvest. Projects such as the gar-
den bring our community together.
The classroom organization provides for a variety
of approaches from team teaching, interdisciplinary
teams, self-contained to a part-time teaching assign-
ment that witnesses a class sharing the experience
of two teachers 1/2 days, sharing the responsibility
of their program and creative endeavors. The ap-
proach has been successful and rewarding for the
school and students with innovation and sincere
commitment.
The Community School Programs found our coordi-
nator, John Kelly, and Advisory Council providing
enrichment programs for students in skating, baking,
bowling, swimming, basketball with support for a
Seaside Festival that was extremely successful.
Last year was the end of the formal teaching for Frank
Cornwell, an exceptional string instrument instructor
and Meg Maher, a devoted sincere classroom teach-
er with the love of their work passed on to many over
the years. We sincerely wish them good fortune in
their retirement.
Teaching continues to be a rewarding experience
with the broad new horizons greater and more awe-
some than those passed, but the confidence, wisdom
and intelligence of our students will meet the challen-
ges of our society, country and world to provide for
generations to come. Our gratitude and congratula-
tions to the 405 students and faculty that last year
made education exciting and challenging for those
programs that follow will reflect individual needs and
differences.

Report of
CHARLES T. ORLOFF, PRINCIPAL
It is with pleasure that I submit the Annual Report of
the Marguerite E. Small School. This report adds the
final chapter to the previous decade and looks with
guarded optimism to the major developments of what
one educator has already tagged the "Uneasy Eight-
ies."
During the last twelve months, educators in Dennis -
Yarmouth have seen their school budgets eroded by
inflation and devastated by rising fuel costs. Just
when there was reason to become increasingly op-
timistic about our special programs in art, music and
literature, the schools have fallen on hard times. This
is particularly distressing when we look at the number
of students involved in these programs and the posi-
tive impact that they have had on our national culture.
At no time in our nation's history has there been a
greater interest in the arts. Poets, writers, musicians,
painters and dramatists are speaking to audiences
whose size is unparalleled. At present there are over
1100 symphony orchestras in the United States and
thirty million Americans play musical instruments.
Art, in all its forms, is now available to millions of peo-
ple.
Children will not learn the new language of the arts
unless they hear it spoken. At the Small School our
music and art programs have never been stronger.
During this last year every child in the school partici-
pated in a musical program. In addition to 40 minutes
of regular classroom instruction, 115 students took
instrumental music lessons; 100 boys and girls took
part in the school chorus; and 45 third, fourth and fifth
graders learned to play the soprano and alto record-
ers. This tremendous participation can only be attri-
buted to the high quality of instruction in the Dennis -
Yarmouth Schools.
Art education also has an important place in the
school's program. Every child receives instruction in
the language of art on a weekly basis. In addition,
special classes are held for young students who need
assistance with fine motor control.
This last year the talented/gifted art program consist-
ed of 23 5th grade students. The children selected
for the program had previously demonstrated a high
level of development in fine motor skills, inventive-.
ness, flexibility and originality. The program is de-
signed to increase the children's understanding of
color, design and texture as well as their aesthetic
awareness of art.
We would all agree, I expect, that the schooling which
a child receives should reflect the realities of the
world he inhabits. It seems to me that the realities of
life in the United States today do undoubtedly include
the arts.
Therefore, as the priorities are invariably established,
we must avoid the tendency to crowd out the arts.
The annual school budget will determine the kind and
quality of education that can be made available to the
young people of our community. Our schools will be
only as good as you want them to be.

JAMES J. CLARKE, JR., PRINCIPAL
It is a pleasure to submit my report as principal of the
South Yarmouth Elementary School.
At South Yarmouth we are presently housing:
Kindergarten
Grade One 102
Grade Two 92
Collaborative 10
284
We are now able to meet the needs of most children
through traditional, self-contained classrooms, tran-
sitional first grade, multi-age groups and team teach-
ing — all taking place in the same building. We also
have Special Needs personnel for children requiring
extra attention.
Under the direction of Peter Regan, a very successful
Title I Summer Program was held at South Yarmouth
Elementary School. During the school year a Title
teacher works in the regular classroom with the chil-
dren. In this way we can evaluate short and long
range progress and give the children continuous help
year-round. Title I is a federally funded program that
helps children who are not successful in school. Its
purpose is to supplement and not supplant existing
programs.
As part of our program to insure success in school we
have P.E.P. - Partners in Education Project. Its main
purpose is to increase communication between the
school and the home and to have pre-school children
and their parents visit the school so that they will be
comfortable in that environment. The children are
registered for kindergarten in April and interviewed
by their prospective teacher in May. In September we
do an informal appraisal of each child, a visual and
hearing test, and observe each child in a small group
activity. We also have our physical education teacher
present to test the children in basic skills.
Informal and standardized testing has taken place
during the year. The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts
is given in October and April to the kindergarten. The
Metropolitan Readiness Test is given to the kinder-
garten in May. The Initial Survey Test is given to the
first grade in September. The S.R.A. Achievement
Series is given in May to the first and second grades.
The scores and an explanation of these tests are
available from each child's teacher.
The Community School Advisory Council and the
South Yarmouth Parents' Council, being the same
group, have been very active in developing new pro-
grams. The Council itself has been involved in Open
House, Homeroom Mothers, volunteers, the Scrim-
shaw II (school newspaper), an information booklet
and many more very useful activities. I would encour-
age other parents to join and support this group.
I would like to welcome back George Streeter and
Pamela Neylon who at one time did teach in the
South Yarmouth/John Simpkins Compound.
We have a new program this year at South Yarmouth.
80 It is part of the Cape Cod Collaborative and is a pre -
115
116
school for children. There are ten children who need
extra help in language development. There are two
teachers in the program, Meg Lynch and Barbara
Haynes. Also, there are two aides, Kate Gilday and
Pamela Pikor.
Routine maintenance took place on and in the build-
ing. We are all involved in conserving fuel and light.
This year we were able to retile the main corridor and
it has certainly brightened the building.
Last spring, under the direction of John Silver, a fifth
grade teacher, a portion of our playground was
opened to residents for planting. An area was plowed
and supplied with water. I believe it was a learning
experience.

The Trustees of the Scholarship Fund have been
notified of the availability of over $5,000. in funds
under the aegis of the Yarmouth Trust Fund Com-
missioners for scholarship awards to eligible gradu-
ates residing in the Town of Yarmouth. Additionally,
a donation of $100. from the Yarmouth Chamber of
Commerce has been acknowledged with apprecia-
tion. This amount will be given to a Yarmouth student
who intends to pursue an education designed for a
business career. The income from the Ann Caston-
guay Memorial Scholarship, totaling more than
$2,000., can be drawn at the discretion of the Trus-
tees - for awards to deserving students in the gradu-
ating class.
At the Baccalaureate ceremony in 1978, it was the
pleasure of the Trustees to award to graduates with
outstanding scholastic records nearly $3,200. During
the year, a prior commitment was also honored. It is
our hope that, through the gifts and donations of
benefactors, we may continue to recognize meritor-
ious achievement and provide financial assistance to
young people from families where the greatest need
exists.

Report of the Cape Cod
Regional
Technical
High School
District Committee
Before I commence my annual report, I would like to
share some news regarding last year's graduating
class that I feel you will find interesting. It says some-
thing to us about the effectiveness of our school and
its programs and should please you, the public, in
terms of the return of your investment in Cape Cod
Tech. On June 3, 1979, the first four-year class of
179 students graduated from Cape Cod Tech.
Seventy-two percent of those students were male,
and twenty-eight per cent were female. Seventy-four
per cent of the students went to work in their field, or
a related field, sixteen per cent went on to some type
of further education, two per cent went into the mili-
tary, and the remaining eight per cent did not return
the survey form.
During the months of January and February most of
the students at Cape Cod Tech were actively work-
ing in preparation for the transferring of many of our
shop activities to the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis in
observation of Vocational Education Week. This was
a tremendous experience for the students and staff,
and based upon the comments we received from the
public during that show, they too appreciated the
opportunity to see vocational education in action
during that week. We look forward to a repeat Mall
project again this year.
Our Carpentry Department were involved in the con-
struction of a bathhouse at Sandy Neck for the past
year and they completed that project during the
month of May. Another group of carpentry students
started building a house located on Route 124 in
Brewster during that same spring session which will
be completed sometime during the Spring of 1980.
All of our construction departments are involved in
these projects — Masonry, Electrical, Heating and
Air Conditioning, Painting and Decorating, Plumbing,
and Horticulture. It is most gratifying to us to be able
to do these kinds of projects in order to show you, the
public, what our students can do, and more impor-
tant to give our students the opportunity to receive
the benefit of the education that takes place from
such projects.
The Marine Repair department completed the res-
toration of a trap boat, called the "Charlotte," for the
town of Provincetown. This boat was completely
restored by our students, and is now on display at
the museum in that town. This boat had a tremen-
dous impact on the lives of fishermen in Province -
town during the early nineteen hundreds and has
now been preserved for future generations.
A new program, called the Commercial Fishing pro-
gram, was developed during the spring semester.
Mr. Dana Eldridge was appointed to be the teacher
of this program. He conducted an exhaustive search
for a boat to be used by the students and we pur-
chased a boat called the Fair Tides which was ideal
for the needs of this program. We have great hope
for the growth of this program because we realize
what fishing means to the Cape Cod economy.
We were very proud of our baseball team during the
Spring season when they were named champions of
the Cape and Islands League. In September of 1979
our Cross Country team, under Coach Lowell Fan -
cher, embarked upon another season, and I am
pleased to report that they were undefeated and
won the Cape & Islands League championship for
the second year in a row. Congratulations to the
team members, the coach, and other staff members.
A decision was made during the Spring of 1979 that
has tremendously affected the education that takes
place here this school year, when the committee
decided to apply for a State evaluation. This proced-
ure calls for a year of self -study in which all our teach-
ers are presently involved. We are most pleased
with the effort put forth by all the staff members at
Cape Cod Tech in this venture.
In cooperation with the sending high schools we were
successful in the request for two federal grants that
allows us to expand the vocational opportunities to
more of the students in our sending towns. Located
on campus there is an Assessment Center, designed
to provide vocational assessments for eighth grade
students. In addition, there is an Extended Day pro-
gram for high school students who wish to improve
their occupational opportunities during late afternoon
sessions. Another new program is a Skill Center
located in the town of Brewster that is designed to
serve another group of students not presently served
in the sending schools, or at Cape Cod Tech.
Under the direction of Athletic Director, Allan Sulli-
van, members of our basketball, volleyball, and soc-
cer teams, as well as cheerleaders, are working dili-
gently with their parents and coaching staff, to raise
money so that the teams can go to Belgium on an
Athletic Exchange Program during the Spring of
1980. Our thanks go to the parents and students
for their efforts in this venture. We look forward to the
return visit to Cape Cod Tech of the Belgium students
sometime in May.
We had two changes in committee membership this
123
124
year. Mr. William Shanahan replaced Garrett Shee-
han, from the town of Dennis; and Mrs. Wilhemena
DaRoza replaced Sal DelDeo from the town of Pro-
vincetown. We welcome the new members and
thank those members who left for their efforts during
the years they represented their towns.
We have been blessed with an outstanding response
from the R.S.V.P. program and look forward to con-
tinuing association with these fine people.
We wish to thank members of our Program Advisory
Committees who have been so faithful in meeting
with our teachers to assure that the education that
takes place here is relevant to the world of work.
We also wish to thank the members of the Cape Cod
Consortium, made up of Finance committees from
each of our member towns, for their assistance in the
development of our budget.
Adult Education which has been operating for the
past two years has increased to 373 participants this
year, — approximately double the number we had
last Spring.
Mr. Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., and his assistant, Mr.
Carroll, along with the rest of the staff members at
Cape Cod Tech are here to serve you, — the people
of our District, and if you have questions or sugges-
tions as to how we might improve that service please
feel free to call the school at either 432-4500 or 771-
2600.

Cape Cod Regional Technical
High School District Committee
Auditor's Report
To the School Committee of the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District:
We have examined the statement of assets and
liabilities of the DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT (a not-for-profit school district
organized under the laws of Massachusetts) as of
June 30, 1979, and 1978, the statement of consoli-
dated revenues and expenditures of operating funds
for the years then ended and the related statements
of changes in fund balances, and surplus revenues,
appropriations and expenditures for the year ended
June 30, 1979. Our examination was made in ac-
cordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and, accordingly, included such tests of the account-
ing records and such other auditing procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances.
As in the practice with many school districts and
municipalities in the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, the School District has not maintained histori-
cal cost records of its fixed assets and, accordingly,
a statement of general fixed assets is not included
in the accompanying financial statements.
The School District follows accounting policies pre-
scribed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
which vary in certain respects from generally ac-
cepted accounting principles. The most significant
difference relates to the use of the cash basis method
for recording pension expenses for employees. In
our opinion, pension costs should be determined by
actuarial methods instead of the cash or pay-as-you-
go basis as described in Note 5 to the accompanying
financial statements. Information is not available to
quantify the cumulative liability for pension benefits
which would be reflected in the statement of assets
and liabilities as of June 30, 1979 and 1978 had the
School District followed the actuarial method of ac-
counting for pension costs.
In our opinion, except for the effect of: (1) not provid-
ing for pension costs on an actuarial basis, and (2)
not maintaining a record of general fixed assets, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly
the financial position of the Dennis -Yarmouth Reg-
ional School District as of June 30, 1979, and 1978,
and its changes in fund balances, and its revenues
and expenditures of operating funds and surplus
revenues, appropriations and expenditures for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.

To the School Committee of the
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District:
We have examined the financial statements of the
DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DIS-
TRICT as of June 30, 1979 and 1978, and for the
fiscal years then ended, and have issued our report
thereon dated August 31, 1979 and 1978, in which
our opinion is qualified with respect to the failure to
provide for the costs of employee pension plans ac-
cruing in excess of the amounts currently paid and
the failure to maintain a record of general fixed as-
sets. Our examinations were made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards and, ac-
cordingly, included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
In connection with the examination referred to above,
we have also examined the accompanying Recon-
ciliation of Treasurer's Cash as of, and for the fiscal
years ended, June 30, 1979 and 1978. Our examina-
tions included (1) confirmation of balances with the
respective banks, (2) tests of the reconciliations from
bank to book cash balances, and (3) such other au-
diting procedures as we considered necessary in

Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1979
(1) Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District
Agreement
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District was
formed by an agreement between the towns, dated
June 15, 1954, to build and operate a high school
facility to serve this region. At special town meetings
held in Dennis and Yarmouth on February 27, 1975,
the voters adopted an amendment to this agreement
whereby, beginning July 1, 1975, the School District
assumed responsibility for operating elementary
schools and middle schools within the region in addi-
tion to the high school. The accompanying financial
statements include the financial transactions of the
Regional School District, as defined in the amended
agreement, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1979.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
In accordance with general practices of municipal
government units and the requirements of the Bureau
of Accounts of the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, the accompanying financial statements include
the transactions of the various funds of Dennis -Yar-
mouth Regional School District reported on a modi-
fied accrual basis of accounting. On the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recog-
nized when they are available for use by the District
to fund its current school year's operations and,
except for pension and vested sick pay costs (see
Note 5), expenditures are recognized as the related
liabilities are incurred. The statements of revenues
and expenditures are statements of financial activi-
ties of the funds related to the current reporting
period; they do not purport to present the results of
operations or the net income or loss for the period.
To the extent that general funds are used to finance
activities within other fund groups, the amounts so
provided are accounted for as transfers of revenue.
Fund Accounting
The District follows fund accounting procedures
whereby, for accounting and reporting purposes,
resources for various purposes are classified in a
self -balancing set of accounts for recording the
assets, liabilities, fund balance and changes in the
fund balance in accordance with the limitations im-
posed by the funding agency. The School District's
funds consist of:
Surplus Revenues
Surplus revenues represent the cumulative balance
resulting from all financial transactions relating to the
administration, instruction and maintenance activi-
ties of the School District.
Construction Funds
The construction funds include the financial trans-
actions related to the design and construction of the
administration building and the additions to the high
school.
Cafeteria and Other Funds
The cafeteria and other funds include principally the
financial transactions relating to activities of the
school lunch program as well as funds designated
for athletic events and band activities.
Federal and State Grant Funds
The Federal and state grant funds include the trans-
actions related to Federal or state sponsored pro-
grams to assist disadvantaged students and fulfill
other specialized educational requirements.
Trust Funds
The trust funds include receipts from various donors
which are used to provide awards to worthy students.
Accrued Contract Payroll
Certain teachers covered by the School District's
contract with the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional Teach-
ers' Association, covering the fiscal year, elect to
receive their annual salary over a twelve-month
period beginning in September and ending in August.
Amounts not yet paid to these teachers as of June 30
are accrued by the School District at that date and
are included in expenditures of the period then
ended.
Fixed Assets
Equipment purchases financed with operating funds
and debt principal payments related to facilities are
funded annually through assessments (based on
budgeted amounts of such expenditures) to the
participating towns for each fiscal period. According-
ly, related payments are recorded as expenditures
against the budget for the current period.
As is the practice with many school districts and
municipalities in the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, the School District has not maintained histori-
cal cost records of its fixed assets and, accordingly,
a statement of general fixed assets is not included in
the accompanying financial statements.
(3) School District Assessments
Under terms of the agreement, as amended, estab-
lishing the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Dis-
•trict, the School District's costs are apportioned and
assessments are levied against the towns forming
the District. The District's costs are apportioned as
follows:
Costs to be Apportioned
Principal and interest relating
to debt issued prior to 1973
Principal and interest relating
to debt issued subsequent to
1973
Special operating costs, prin-
cipally related to providing
evening educational programs
Operating costs, other than
Central Office costs
Central Office costs
Basis of Apportionment
Equalized valuation of the
respective towns
Enrollment of the respective
towns
Pupil hours of the respective
towns relating to such
programs
Enrollment of the respective
towns
Enrollment in the high school
of the respective towns
129
(4) Leased Facilities
The School District has leases covering four elemen-
tary and two middle schools within the towns of Den-
nis and Yarmouth, whereby the District has the use
of these facilities through June 30, 1990, with an
option for an additional fifteen -year period, at an
annual cost of $1 for each of the facilities. Under the
terms of the agreements, the School District is re-
sponsible for the cost of operation, including utilities
and insurance, and maintenance of these facilities.
(5) Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Benefits
Certain administrative and other professional em-
ployees and teachers of the School District partici-
pate individually in a contributory retirement plan
administered by the Massachusetts Teachers' Re-
tirement Board. The School District does not con-
tribute to this plan.
Retirement benefits are provided for other employees
of the School District by the District's participation in
the Barnstable County Retirement Association.
Under the provisions of this plan, employees con-
tribute certain percentages of their pay and are eligi-
ble for retirement benefits after attaining the pre-
scribed age and/or period of service criteria. In
130 addition, the School District contributes to this plan
an annual amount determined by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts Department of Banking and In-
surance, primarily on the basis of projected annual
benefit payments for the year ("Pay-as-you-go").
The School District's contribution to this plan for
fiscal year 1979 was $88,400.
The amount of unfunded pension liability of the Barn-
stable County Retirement Association was last de-
termined as of January 1, 1976. The amount of
such benefits related to the Regional School District
has not been separately reported and is not determi-
nable.
Sick Leave Benefits
Under terms of the contracts covering the employees
of the School District, certain employees are entitled
to fifteen days of paid sick leave annually. Unused
sick leave may be accumulated indefinitely up to a
specified maximum. In the event of death, separ-
ation, or retirement of an employee having completed
ten years of service, such employee or the employ-
ee's estate shall be compensated at a rate of $15 per
day for accumulated sick leave. As of June 30, 1979,
such accumulated vested sick leave of Regional
School District employees approximated 12,200
days. No recognition has been given in the accounts
of the School District to the liability approximating
$184,000 for these vested benefits or to the $37,000
increase in the liability for vested benefits earned
during fiscal 1979.
(6) School Bonds
The 2.9% School bonds were issued as of May 1,
1963 in an aggregate amount of $700,000, maturing
at a rate of 2% ($35,000 principal amount) annually.
Interest payments are made semi-annually on No-
vember 1 and May 1 of each year.
The 4.75% School bonds were sold on July 13, 1977
in an aggregate amount of $4,600,000., maturing
as follows:
Amount
$400,000
375,000
350,000
325,000
Due in June
1979 to 1983 inclusive
1984 to 1987 inclusive
1988
1989
Interest payments are made semi-annually on June
15 and December 15 of each year.
The School bonds will be retired using funds raised
through taxation by Dennis and Yarmouth. These
future assessments for repayment of debt principal
are reflected as assets on the accompanying state-
ment of assets and liabilities.
(7) Construction Funds
The proceeds from the sale of the 4.75% bonds is
being used to finance the construction, the equip-
ping, and the furnishing of an addition to the high
school, the remodeling of the present high school
facility, and the construction and furnishing of the
school administration building.
The School District Committee has also authorized
$300,000 for the renovation of the John Simpkins
Elementary School which was financed from current
operating funds and surplus revenue.
(8) Contingency
A claim has been asserted against the Cape Cod
Collaborative and various other defendants by a
former employee. The Cape Cod Collaborative is an
organization made up of several participating school
systems, including the District; its purpose is to pro-
vide special education services to students in the
participating school systems.
The employee claims that the defendants violated
certain of the employee's civil and constitutional
rights in connection with a decision not to renew the
employee's contract as a teacher at a program oper-
ated by the Collaborative. The District insurer is
presently paying for the District's expense in defend-
ing this claim, but it is uncertain at this time that the
District's insurance policy will cover a successful
monetary claim asserted directly against the Collab-
orative, for which the District may be jointly and
severally liable. The employee is seeking reinstate-
ment and damages in the amount of $500,000 from
the Collaborative and the other defendants, includ-
ing the District.
The parties in this case are still involved in pretrial
discovery. The District (and the other defendants)
are vigorously contesting the claim. The District's
legal counsel is unable to express a judgement as to
the outcome of this case or to estimate the potential
loss or range of loss.

National Library Week in April was a very successful
celebration. Mrs. John Harris and Mrs. U. Frederick
Stobbart secured many interesting exhibits. Mrs.
Gerald Russell, Mrs. William Russell and Miss Phebe
Taylor solicited for and sold tempting food. Mrs.
Ronald Mason and Mrs. Thomas Donlin sold coffee
and goodies to a friendly and generous public. These
two endeavors were financially successful and
added to the Building Fund program. The Art exhibit
with Frances Dinneen as Chairman, was inspiring.
To have so much local talent well displayed was an
honor. To all who served on these various Com-
mittees we extend sincere thanks.
In August we held our annual Fair with the ever -
faithful and loyal Flora Lehrmann and her Committee
in charge. This venture was a financial success and
added also to the Building Fund.
During the year Mrs. Hosea Wheeler gave a decor-
ated waste basket, Mrs. Alexander Buchan gave one
of her paintings, Sally White gave a needlepoint
pillow and Shirley Lyons gave a Christmas wreath.
All of these were sold for the benefit of the Building
Fund. The generosity of these talented people is
cherished by all.
The Friends of the Library organization has added
new members during the year. Mr. John Barkley is

1969 M/11 19,214.00
our new President. Miss Frances Dinneen and her
Committee have presented interesting and informa-
tive programs and everyone enjoys the coffee and
social hour which follows each meeting.
The Christmas Wassail party sponsored by the
Friends was fun for all. Miss Dinneen presented Mr.
Raymond Smith who entertained with guitar and
vocal solos and led the audience in Christmas carol
singing. It was a pleasant evening.
The Friday morning coffee hours are very popular.
Our thanks again go to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Donlin
who furnish all of the coffee and to the many who
contribute, money and delicious food each week. We
are glad to welcome Alice Smith, our former Assis-
tant, on these Friday mornings. Alice manages
almost completely the "clean up". We commend her
for this loyal service.
The microfilm reader is in use a great deal of the
time - even on closed days and week -ends. The files
of the Yarmouth Register are certainly popular. The
use of reference books is steady among students
and all -age borrowers. Unfortunately this service
does not show up in the statistical report but it is
important.
I am concerned over the Saturday morning children's
hour. The attendance is not what it should be con-
sidering the time and money spent to offer this pro-
gram. Shirley Lyons is very good with the children.
She spends time (a great deal of her own time) and
gives many materials for the children to use in crea-
tive work. Films are shown and stories read. She,
assisted by Frank Finn, made a haunted Library for
Hallowe'en and a Gingerbread House for Christmas.
The children who attend spend happy moments in
these houses. They are still enjoying the Ginger-
bread_ house. With all which is offered it is a disap-
pointment that it is not more widely appreciated.
We have an aquarium for the older children. This was
set up by Shirley Lyons and a Representative from
the Barnstable County Extension Service. This
draws the attention of young and old.
We were all saddened by the passing of John B. Hull
who, for many years, was our Treasurer. Jack was
a loyal, hard-working member of the Board of Trus-
tees and always supported the Library in every way.
We also were saddened by the death of Alexander
Catto, an Honorary member of the Board of Trustees
and a former President. Alec, too, gave of his time
and was a faithful member.

My sincere thanks go to Shirley Lyons and Elaine
Anderson for their cooperative help during the year
and to Frank Finn for the cheerful and willing service
which he performs by delivering and picking up De-
pository loans.
To the Trustees, the Friends of the Library, the
Selectmen, the Taxpayers and the borrowers and all
who have generously contributed to the Building
Fund we are most grateful.
Happy 1980!

The library enjoyed a busy and successful year in
1979 with a large increase in circulation — 5,851
books over 1978 — and 816 new borrowers.
Our story hour continues to draw large groups of
enthusiastic pre-schoolers every Tuesday and this
fall we started a series of film programs for the older
children which we hope will prove as successful.
The Friends of the Library had an active year and due
to the great success of a fund raising event last winter
were able to contribute to the library a much needed
record bin and motion picture projector. The monthly
series . of lectures sponsored by the Friends con-
tinues to be very popular and draw large crowds.
The Library Association is happy to have another
opportunity to contribute to the community. in that it
has received a donation for the establishment of a
scholarship fund.
Once again, our thanks to our faithful volunteers,
Marjorie Crandall, Ann Erickson, Gwen Kaiser and
Elisabeth Sykes for all their help. And thanks, too, to
our very able staff: Jean Bingham, Rachel Stowe,
Sandy Rogers and Pat Bernardin.
The Garden Club has again this year supplied lovely
plants and holiday decorations and we are indeed
grateful to them. As we are to the Bass River Savings
Bank for the use of their window for book displays.

West Yarmouth Library in providing our community
with needed library services. We issued 643 new
cards, bringing our total cardholders up to 4,680.
Being part of the Boston Regional Library System
has once again proved advantageous. Hundreds of
books are borrowed from the Depository, Interlibrary
Loan requests are filled promptly, and Regional
cooperative buying has enabled us to purchase
library supplies at greatly reduced prices.
Report of the
Conservation
Commission
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
The Conservation Commission met in regular sess-
ions on the first and third Thursday of each month
and held several special meetings throughout the
year.
The Commission is continuing its acquisition of land,
through gifts and purchases; the managing and
protection of Town owned land; and the supporting
of the State and local wetlands laws, as well as the
coastal wetlands regulations. The control and man-
agement of our now four herring runs is being admin-
istered in a joint effort by the Conservation Com-
mission and the Department of Natural Resources.
Considerable progress has been made in this direc-
tion, but much more work is needed in some areas.
We received a most generous donation of $400.00
from the Mid -Cape Lions Club for large print books
and wish to thank them for making it possible for us
to obtain more materials for our patrons with limited
vision.
Our pre-school storytime on Thursday afternoons
continues to be popular with our young library -goers
and during the year we hosted several groups of nur-
sery school children, Scouts, and Campfire girls.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the
Bass River Savings Bank in South Yarmouth for giv-
ing us the use of the window for displays, The Old
Colony Bank for the thousands of bookmarks they
donate, and the Yarmouth Garden Club for their
many plants and floral arrangements.
Our Board of Trustees contributed much to the suc-
cessful operation of our library this past year and we
wish to thank them for their efforts.
We would also like to thank our staff, Edith Cavander
and Lee Wetjen for their dedication and support.
Respectfully submitted,
Lorraine Loughlin, Librarian
The Town has acquired various parcels of conserva-
tion land this year for the recreational enjoyment of
the Townspeople, protection of fragile wetland areas,
natural resources, ground and surface water, natural
wildlife and the environment in general. One signifi-
cant purchase was a 13 acre parcel at the southwes-
terly corner of Swan Pond, bordering 1800 feet on
Parkers River.
The tree seedling program is on a continuing basis
with 500 seedlings being distributed annually to the
Townspeople.
This past year there has been a continued increase
in wetland hearings. The increase is noticeable from
year to year as more land involving wetland comes
under development.
Coastal Zone Management has also approved the
partial funding of a project for the study and planning
for passive recreation of Town owned land in Yar-
mouth, which involves the Callery property and
another portion known as the Darling property, which
is under Conservation control.
The Commissioners wish to express their gratitude
to the Townspeople, and many of the Town Depart -
145
ments and their personnel for their cooperation,
assistance and interest in all of our projects during
the past year.

Report of the
Waterways
Committee
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of Yarmouth:.
The Waterways committee met in regular sessions
on the second Wednesday of each month throughout
the year to accomplish its two primary functions of —
one, acting as an advisory committee to the Board of
Selectmen and other town departments and agen-
146 cies in waterways related matters and two, operating
and maintaining the four town owned small boat
marinas.
The marinas were plagued by pilferage and depre-
dation at the beginning of the boating season which
caused considerable concern to those using the
marinas and resulted in several boat owners cancell-
ing or failing to renew their slip rental leases. How-
ever, additional patrols by the Police department and
Department of Natural Resources personnel re-
duced this malicious mischief. Income from the ma-
rinas continues to produce a nominal income from
the town. Marina receipts during 1979 were - Packet
Landing $3,900, Colonial Acres $1,810, Englewood
Beach $825 and the Bass Hole $712.50 for a total
of $7,247.50. This was approximately $500 less than
was taken in during 1978 and was due primarily to the
lack of confidence the boat owners had in our ability
to protect their property. Maintenance and directly
related costs for marina operations was $1,400.
The Bass River Dredging sub -committee, composed
of representatives from Yarmouth and Dennis, for-
mulated plans for the maintenance dredging of the
Bass River entrance channel during the early Spring.
Though the actual dredging was beset with prob-
lems, it was finally accomplished in June to the satis-
faction of the Board of Selectmen, this committee
and the Dredging sub -committee. Continuous moni-
toring of the channel depth during the past summer
and fall indicates that in all probability the channel

YARMOUTH CONSERVATION COMMISSION
will need further maintenance dredging during the
spring of 1980. Parker's River channel held its depth
fairly well during the summer of 1979 but during the
late summer a break -through in the east breakwater,
created by the spoils from previous maintenance
dredging, caused a portion of the entrance channel
to fill in. Dredging in this area during the spring of
1980 will be necessary. Articles requesting funds to
accomplish the dredging of Bass River and Parker's
River entrance channels have been submitted for
annual town meeting action.
In February, the Chairman and this committee were
recipients of the "Fred Harris Award" presented by
the Cape Cod Salties club in recognition of our work
in planning for, and establishing, the Artificial Fishing
Reef in Nantucket Sound off of Bass River. The crea-
tion and expansion of this reef is a continuing project
for the Waterways committee and with the coopera-
tion of the Department of Natural Resources we have
deposited over 1,000 old tires on the reef site. Our
ultimate objective is to have a reef with over 10,000
tires on it. However, we have been hampered by a
lack of funds and personnel to prepare the tire bun-
dles. The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisher-
ies, who have been monitoring the reef's ability to
attract fish and crustaceans, are most enthusiastic in
our progress. Division personnel have made six
dives and report that the reef is attracting more and
more fish and is providing a habitant and feeding
ground for them.
Due to the continual settling of the black -top paving
adjacent to the Packet Landing bulkhead, the Water-
ways committee had an engineer investigate this
problem. His report indicated that the bulkhead was
deteriorating and was in need of considerable repair
or replacement. Either solution would be at consider-
able cost. Further study and recommendations will
be made by this committee.
The committee completed a survey of all boat ramps
within the town and found that all were in need of
repair or replacement. Those ramps at Wilbur Park,
Englewood Beach, the Bass Hole and Bay View
street beach have been given priorities for repair.

The Waterways committee continues to work with
Assistant Executive Secretary Michael Lichten on
the rehabilitation of Wilbur Park on Bass River. An
engineering study of the park, accomplished under
a Coastal Zone Management grant, has been com-
pleted and it is hoped that the first phase of the rec-
ommended work can get under way this summer.

SHELLFISH
Approximately 50,000 seed quahogs were pur-
chased during the late spring. These were in sizes
between 7/32 to 5/16 inch, about the size of a man's
shirt button, and were carefully planted in pen flats in
the upper reaches of Uncle Robert's Cove, Lewis
Bay, so we could easily monitor their growth and
health. Periodic checks and adjustments were made
throughout the early summer. However, over a three
day period, we experienced a large mortality which
was due, in part, to crabs getting into the pen flats but
primarily to dissolved oxygen in the water. We were
able to salvage only about 4,000 of this seed. The
usual annual planting of young adult quahog stock
was carried on without any problems. We are plan-
ning on cultivating several new areas in 1980 for the
creation of quahog beds.
Soft-shell clams have been transplanted from sev-
eral marine construction sites to areas accessible to
the public. We continued our program of using plastic
netting to protect and collect clam spat, or larvae, but,
as in past years, boaters and fishermen have stolen,
destroyed or moved the netting. However, we have
found this is still the best method for protecting and
collecting soft-shell clam spat and will expand this
program hoping the public will eventually become
educated to leave alone the posted netting.
Expanded efforts were made in 1979 to collect seed
oysters from the inter -tidal zones which were in-
accessible to the public. This seed was placed in
baskets on large rafts and during the past winter
months submerged so the oyster seed would not
{ freeze. Upon raising the rafts in early spring we were
happy to see, not only exceptional growth, but that
approximately 95% had survived the winter. Our
hopes from having a bumper crop of oysters to trans -

plant were dashed when a period of extremely high
dissolved oxygen in the water killed 90% of the oys-
ters before we could move them. It is hoped this
department will have the use of the Health depart-
ment's new Dissolved Oxygen meter so we can
monitor for this phenomenon and prevent kills of our
seed stock. We were further hampered in our oyster
program when 50 of our oyster spat bags were stolen
or destroyed. The transplanting of oysters from in-
accessible areas to Lewis Pond was the only salva-
tion for the recent past open season for oystering.
Scalloping in Bass River lasted for only about 10
days during the fall of 1979. Approximately 2,000
bushels of scallops were harvested before the supply
ran out. Lewis Bay produced better this year than in
past recent years but was pretty much limited to
areas along the Barnstable -Yarmouth town line.
Because of the competition for the available scallops
between the fishermen of both towns, it was neces-
sary to buoy the entire town line in Lewis Bay and
provide daily "peace -keeping" and inspection pa-
trols.
As can be read in the foregoing, this was not one of
our better years. This department now knows how
farmers must feel during a bad crop year.

This department wishes to call to the attention of all
purchasers of shellfish licenses the necessity of fill-
ing out the "Catch Report" on the reverse side of their
licenses. Your previous year's license should be
turned in, with the "Catch Report" filled in as accur-
ately as possible, when you obtain your new license.
These "Catch Reports" are totaled and form the
basis for several reports this department must make
to the State. Help us to assure ample future shell -
fishing.
CONSERVATION
The migration of alewives in the town's runs was
147
148
about average during this past spring. All Herring
Runs were repaired and cleaned prior to the annual
run and a sufficient flow of water provided. Daily
patrols kept the runs open and clean from debris and
dead fish but, as per usual, thoughtless youngsters
caused problems by destroying sluice -ways, catch
boxes and killing fish "for the fun of it". With the major
portion of rehabilitating the Golf Course herring run
completed, the Massachusetts Division of Marine
Fisheries transplanted adult alewives into Laban's
Pond (Turtle Pond). It is hoped that this will help re-
establish this run.
All Conservation trails were inspected and main-
tained periodically throughout the year. Rest and
observation areas were provided and repaired when
necessary. We would like to remind the public that
cutting wood on town or private property without
permission is prohibited by Massachusetts Law,
Chapter 266, Section 113. As the Conservation
Commission's investigative and enforcement officers
under the Wetlands Act, Chapter 131, Section 40 of
the State's General Laws, this department made 104
inspections.
FISH AND GAME
Depending on the availability of fry, this department
will stock several of the town's lakes and ponds this
coming spring. A program of providing winter feed
for upland game birds was continued.

The staff consisted of Fred E. Crockett, coordinator;
Frank Stroh, Asst. Coordinator/photographer;
Chrysella Smith, Secretary; and four researchers as
follows: Tricia Casey, Richard Hazelhurst, Donald
Elrick and Susan Green.
For the next several days Miss Elizabeth Durfee of
the Massachusetts Historical Commission con-
ducted a training course in house identification and
spent time on a walking tour of Bass River followed
which a film was shown. There was an opportunity
to ask questions.
With this information along with Historical books,
the researchers began their tasks.

The objective is to make an inventory of all of the
houses and structures built prior to 1900 in the town
of Yarmouth. The inventory to consist of a photo of
each, with a description of the type of architecture
and a history of when the house was built and what
historical significant the house and owner played
in the town.
The response from the citizens of the Town is most
favorable. Many homeowners have invited the re-
searchers into their homes and volunteered helpful
information. Some of the other sources of information
are the libraries both local as well as the library of the
Cape Cod Community College, 1858 and 1880 maps
as well as a number of books on the History of the
Town of Yarmouth.
Miss Margaret Milliken, well known resident of Yar-
mouthport and a member of the Yarmouth Historical
Commission has written several newspaper articles
on the progress of the Survey.
The staff has participated in several seminars and
workshops to assist volunteers in other communities
as to how to conduct an inventory.
.r
The Survey was instrumental in organizing and con, -
ducting a tour in Yarmouthport of the 1680 House,
The Bangs Hallett House, and the Winslow Crocker
House last August. Over 400 residents of the Town of
Yarmouth visited these houses under the direction
of guides. Tours were free of charge.
The Yarmouth Historical Survey also participated in
the Yarmouth Sea Side Festival last October. Copies
of the inventories were on display with maps from
both sides on the Town of Yarmouth, North and
South.
It is expected that many homes will be listed on the
National Register as a result of this survey. Dr.
George Aherne, member of the Yarmouth Historical
Commission is working with the Survey in this area.
It is anticipated that approximately 600 houses will be
inventoried by the end of the Project in September
11, 1980.
Report of the
Cape Cod
Planning and
Economic
Development
Commission
The Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development
Commission experienced significant progress in its
on-going planning programs in water quality, econ-
omic development, solid waste management, trans-
portation, and coastal zone management as well as
launching a new initiative in the area of historic pre-
servation. The following report highlights the work of
the CCPEDC, and its citizen advisory committees.
Water Resources Advisory Council
Following the recommendations of the 208 plan, a
regional Water Resources Advisory Council was
formed, including representatives of the fifteen towns
as well as regional organizations interested in water
quality planning. The Council advises CCPEDC on
issues related to water supply and wastewater man-
agement, and provides public participation for on-
going 208 related activities. Major activities of the
Council in 1979 included selection of water supply
The survey has enjoyed the cooperation of not only
the Yarmouth Historical Commission but also from
both Mr. Robert Lawton and Mr. Michael Lichten,
the Executive Secretary and Assistant Executive
Secretary respectively of the Town of Yarmouth and
the Selectmen.
Mr. Jack Clarke of the Cape Cod Planning and Ec-
onomic Commission has been very helpful and
attends all of the monthly meetings.
This project is sponsored under the direction of the
COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT TRAINING
ACT.
At the conclusion of the Survey, a booklet will be
published including inventories of the houses which
will be used for educational purposes.
Hopefully this survey project will result in making the
residents of the Town of Yarmouth more aware of
their precious heritage and encourage their desire
to protect it.
problems for analysis by the USGS computer model
and development of a priority list of Cape Cod ponds
to be studied in 1980 by the Mass. Division of Water
Pollution Control.
USGS Studies
The USGS four-year study of Cape Cod's ground-
water has been completed. Publications released by
the USGS include a water table map for the Cape, a
report, Chemical Quality of Water on Cape Cod and
an extensive computer output of water quality data is
on file at CCPEDC's office. The computer model
itself is now available for use by CCPEDC and local,
state and federal agencies. Through a continuing
contract with CCPEDC the USGS will operate and
update the computer model. CCPEDC staff, in return,
measures water levels in 60 USGS monitoring wells
on a monthly basis. This cooperative relationship
provides Cape Cod communities with an up-to-date
tool for evaluating water supply and wastewater
management problems.
Future Water Resources Work
Proposals have been submitted to EPA for continued
funding of the 208 implementation work. It is antici-
pated that grants may be received to cover one more
year of such effort. EPA 208 funding is intended to
start up local implementation efforts, but not to main-
tain a planning program, however. It will be up to the
County to provide for permanent water resources
planning and coordination after the 1980 grant ex-
pires.
Implementation Activities
Assistance was provided to local communities in
implementing 208 plan recommendations in the
149
areas of water supply protection, on-site manage-
ment and prevention of leaks from subsurface gaso-
line storage tanks.
Working with local advisory committees, public water
supply recharge areas were identified. It is expected
that water supply protection bylaws will appear on the
spring 1980 town meeting warrants in Yarmouth as a
result of these activities.
On-site management activities were carried out on
local and regional basis. The Town of Yarmouth co-
operated in an analysis of septic system failures and
development of recommended preventive measures
including maintenance pumping of all on-site sys-
tems in town at regular intervals.
A model health regulation to control subsurface gas-
oline storage was developed after in-depth research
into tank construction and leak monitoring systems
involving considerable contact with the major nation-
al petroleum marketing institutions and tank manu-
facturers. Board of Health action is anticipated in
Yarmouth in early 1980.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LIAISON
A-95 Review
The Commission reviewed 86 applications for Feder -
150 al funding totaling over $83.5 million dollars. As the
regional clearinghouse for review of applications, the
Commission determines whether the proposed pro-
jects duplicate existing programs and whether there
is any conflict with local or regional plans or policies.
Solid Waste Management
The Solid Waste Advisory Committee met monthly,
providing a very useful forum for the exchange of in-
formation in areas such as landfill management,
recycling, resource recovery, and water quality moni-
toring. Regular meetings of the landfill operators to
exchange ideas, complaints, techniques, resulting in
improved landfill operations. In addition, the com-
mittee decided to initiate action to allow the County
to solve the waste tire disposal problem on a regional
scale. Surveys were also conducted which are help-
ing to centralize and standardize solid waste data
previously uncollected on the Cape.
Transportation Planning
Transportation Improvement Program Strategies
which will be developed in the Regional Transporta-
tion Plan to meet air quality standards include: traffic
flow improvements, improved public transit, park-
and-ride lots, carpooling and bikeways.
RAIL SERVICES
Rail Passenger Demonstration Service
The Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development
Commission, the Cape Cod Regional Transit Au-
thority and the State Executive Office of Transporta-
tion & Construction jointly participated in the planning
and implementation of a one week passenger rail
demonstration in August, 1979.
Specific recommendations based upon the Demon-
stration Service have been made to the State Execu-
tive Office of Transportation & Construction (EOTC)
for each of the following types of improvements:
• grade crossing reconstruction and signalization
• track and maintenance of way
• potential terminal, station and parking facilities
Restoration of Rail Passenger Service to
Cape Cod
The State Executive Office of Transportation and
Construction is presently negotiating with the Con-
solidated Rail Corporation (CONRAIL) for the pur-
chase of rail lines from Sandwich to Hyannis and
Dennis and from Buzzards Bay to Falmouth. These
lines have been owned by the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (MBTA) since 1976.
An intensive investigation will be launched in the
Spring of 1980 for the upgrading and equipment
requirements for the railroad routes to Cape Cod
from New York City and Boston.
Coastal Zone Management
A CZM Community Assistance Grant for $7,550. was
awarded to the Town of Yarmouth.
Shellfish Advisory Committee
The Shellfish Advisory Committee met monthly, and
discussed opportunities for regional management of
certain shellfish resources and uniform harvesting
regulations Capewide. The CCPEDC filed an appli-
cation on behalf of the Committee for a grant through
the Coastal Energy Impact Program to produce an
appropriate shellfish management plan for Barn-
stable County.
Historic Preservation
The first County -wide Cape Cod Historic Preserva-
tion Program was created in 1979. Town historical
commissions and/or societies have been contacted
and concentrated activity is taking place working
toward the completion of an historical properties
inventory which will identify and review areas, build-
ings, monuments, sites, burial grounds and struc-
tures which existed prior to 1930. This survey serves
as the basis of all local preservation planning for
Cape Cod.

Report of the
Recreation
Committee
To the Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of Yarmouth:
During 1979 the Yarmouth Recreation Commission
contributed support to fifteen programs operating on
a budget of $32,417.
Our programs and program representatives are as
follows:
1. Yarmouth -Dennis Red Sox Baseball Team
Mr. Robert Sullivan
As in the past, this team gives college players from
across the country and locally the opportunity of
competitive play and exposure of their talents to
further their careers. It also provides exciting recrea-
tional activity as a spectator sport to our townspeople
who may observe the highest caliber of baseball
played in this area.
2. Yarmouth Youth Baseball
Mr. Tom Griffin
The Yarmouth Youth Little League had twelve teams
all sponsored by local businessmen, which account-
ed for 156 active youngsters between the ages of
9-12. We played a seasonal schedule consisting of
98 ballgames, followed by a "play off" schedule
accounting for another 48 games. Last year (1979)
we hosted the First Annual Yarmouth Invitational
Tournament, which was attended by several off -
Cape teams. The success of this tournament was
due to the recent construction of our new facility.
3. Yarmouth Youth Instructional Baseball
Mr. Ric Insley
This program teaches youngsters from ages 7 to 8
the fundamentals of baseball and consists of 8 teams
— 144 youngsters.
4. Yarmouth Youth Farm Baseball
Mr. Jack MacLelland
This program provides youths from the ages of 9 to
12 to participate in a developmental stage of base-
ball. Last year (1979) we had 326 youths in this
league.
5. Yarmouth Pony League Baseball
Mr. Terry Cooney
This league follows Youth Baseball for ages 13 to 15
and provides the opportunity for 90 youngsters con-
sisting of six teams to play baseball at the next level
of skill and ability. This program has been using the
John Simpkins field, which is no longer adequate to
meet the needs of this league. In the past, there has
been a waiting list of boys who want to play baseball
but we have not been able to place them on teams
due to the lack of facilities. An expansion program
is a top priority this year.
6. Senior Babe Ruth Baseball
Mr. Jim Burke
This team provides boys 16 to 18 to continue active
baseball when they have completed pony league.
This roster totals 18 participants. Our present goal is
to expand this program to include a second team.
The need is due to the fact that six teams in the pony
league feed into one team in the Senior Babe Ruth
making it unfortunate in the past to have to deny good
talent an opportunity to participate.
7. Yarmouth -Dennis Youth Hockey Assn.
Mr. Robert Wallace
This program provides two hundred and eighteen
youths from ages 6 to 17 years to compete on nine-
teen teams for a period of over 6 months developing
their hockey skills and at the same time learn good
sportsmanship, good conduct, how to work together
as a team, how to work with and against their friends
and discipline.

Mr. Mark Hennessy
Member of Cape Cod Amateur Soccer League en-
joyed a most successful season as we finished in
3rd Place.
9. Instructional Soccer Clinic
Mr. Allen Bent
This was Yarmouth's first year to provide an instruc-
tional soccer program for Yarmouth's youths ages 6
to 11. This clinic was highly successful with 120 par-
ticipants. Because of the great interest in soccer, a
further expansion of this program is being considered
for the future.
10. Yarmouth Men's Basketball

14. Summer Program for Boys
Mr. Robert Stead
15. Summer Program for Girls
Mr. Robert Stead
For six weeks from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon daily
boys and girls ages nine to twelve years enroll in a
wide variety of recreation activities.
This year there has basically been a new Recreation
Committee due to resignations and attendance
problems. Our committee has become a strong
committee with new ideas.
We have been conducting an in-depth study of
Recreation needs for all the residents of Yarmouth
and comprising a complete inventory of recreation
facilities, which is now available to the Town. From
our weekly meetings we have recommended the
top three priorities:
1. A salaried part-time Recreation Director (to work
full-time during the summer months and part-time
during the winter months).
2. A need to develop some neighborhood "Satellite
Facilities," while not being grand enough to attract
non-residents, they would meet simple needs
within walking distance of residential areas and
would be safe environments where people could
keep a friendly eye upon neighbor's children and
the elderly.
3. Engage in a two to five year plan to construct a
main recreation complex similar to the facilities
Whitman and Howard, Engineers had proposed
for the town disposal area when it is completely
filled. Included on this site could be a building to
function as a supervised youth center.
The Recreation Commission appreciates the interest
and guidance shown by the Board of Selectmen. It is
with great enthusiasm we look forward to the comple-
tion of our above priorities so that Yarmouth may
have a strong active Recreation Program for all citi-
zens.

Report of the
Water Quality
Advisory
Committee
To the Citizens of Yarmouth:
As a requirement for communities who may or ac-
tually seek to participate in federally funded pro-
grams, advisory groups- composed of various seg-
ments of a minicipality must be formed. Federal
regulations specify that the composition of such
advisory bodies consist of essentially equal repre-
sentation from the general public, economic and
public interests groups and, fourthly, public officials.
The Yarmouth Water Quality Advisory Committee
(WQAC) was first constituted in early 1978 in order
to fulfill federal requirements and, concurrently, to
foster public participation in the decision making
process on projects for which the town may ultimate-
ly seek federal/state grant assistance. The commit-
tee, numerically, consists of approximately thirty
individuals from the designated community seg-
ments and others from town departments who serve
as consultants to the advisory body.
The major emphasis of the committee lies in essen-
tially two areas: The preservation and protection of
private and public water supplies and septage/sew-
age disposal methods. Since the town is confronted
with the requirement to resolve certain problems in
the spetage/sewage area, federal/state financial
assistance will undoubtedly be sought in 1980 and
1981.
During 1979 the committee underwent some reor-
ganization in order to align it more closely with federal
1.
A
regulations. At the committee's twice -a -month open
meetings attention was devoted primarily in the
direction of reviewing proposed regulations and by-
laws which resulted from regional studies concerned
with protection of water quality. It is expected and
planned that within the first quarter of calendar year
1980 advisories to the Board of Selectmen will be
submitted with a view toward adoption as major pol-
icy decisions to be promulgated by either town meet-
ing actions or through Board of Health regulations.
Early in 1980 the completed Environmental Impact
Statement as prepared by the engineering firm of
Anderson -Nichols, Inc. under contract to the En-
vironmental Protection Agency is expected to be
received. As a corollary action in 1980, the town will
seek authority and funds to engage a consulting
engineer whose task will be to assist and advise the
WQAC, the Board of Selectmen/Health and the
townspeople in general as to the courses of action
the town should follow in resolving its septage/
sewage disposal problems. Many difficult and tech-
nical problems lie ahead for Yarmouth in this vital
area and will demand the most dedicated efforts by
all who choose to be associated with the process.
Of particular need will be public understanding, par-
ticipation and constructive contributions. The vehicle
through which these elements must travel, both from
the people to the town's officials and vice versa is the
WQAC. The committee is dedicated to maintaining
open lines of communication in order to inform the
people. The committee hopes and earnestly seeks
a public response and eagerness to participate in
its work.

Water Quality Advisory Committee,
Ralph Cipolla, Jr.

Report of the Yarmouth
Housing Authority
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth:
The Yarmouth Housing Authority continues to utilize
its Modernization Grant for Long Pond Plaza. Ex-
terior painting of all buildings was completed in late
summer of 1979. Plans for waterproofing are under-
way with work expected to begin in early 1980.
During 1979 all units at the Plaza were equipped with
new stoves and refrigerators. All forty units continue
to be occupied. Efforts are going on to obtain addi-
tional housing for the elderly.
The State -funded CH 707 program and the federally -
funded Section 8 rental assistance programs are
fully operative. There are currently between 180-190
housing units being subsidized in the Town. •
The Department of Housing and Urban Development
urged the acquisition of space and personnel. Ac-
cordingly, an addition to the office was built in the
summer of 1979. An additional secretary was hired
in October and office hours extended.
On the administrative side of the Housing Authority,
George R. Kaup, Executive Director, was certified
by NAHRO (National Association of Housing and
Re -development Officials) as a Public Housing Man-
ager. Marilyn E. Tanner, Assistant Director, received
certification as a Certified Housing Manager, Family
Housing Specialist, from the National Center for
Housing Management in Washington, D.C.

Report of the
Personnel Board
The past year has been one of internal reorganiza-
tion for the five member Personnel Board. With regret
the Board accepted the resignation of Marshall Love-
lette as its Chairperson, and elected David L. Hauta-
nen in his stead. Mr. Lovelette continues to serve as
a member.
Exercising its prerogative as mandated by recent
Town Meeting action, the Board of Selectmen ap-
pointed a member of the Finance Committee to fill
a vacancy. Joint membership has fostered new
avenues of communication and understanding which
has been beneficial to the Town.
When beginning its annual review of Town depart-
ments, the Board realized a top priority was to bring
equity to the personnel system. In the important area
of job classifications department heads were asked
Report of the
Municipal
Buildings Study
Committee
To the Citizens of Yarmouth:
At the 1978 Annual Town Meeting, authority was
voted to appoint a Municipal Buildings Study Com-
mittee for the purpose of determining the building
facilities requirements for municipal purposes.
Following the appointment by the Board of Select-
men of a nine -member committee, and with the
assistance of the architectural firm of Brown and
Lindquist, the committee embarked on an in-depth
analysis and study of all municipal facilities aimed at
determining current and future requirements and, to
the extent possible, to report on general condition of
structures.
After fifteen months of study, on July 5, 1979, the
committee submitted its report of some 125 pages
and supporting documents, and, in the words of the
report, "It is the hope of the committee that the results
of this study will become a future planning document
..." to guide in the direction of serious facilities defi-
ciencies and inadequacies.
to view the staffing of their departments realistically
and objectively. Present needs and long-term goals
were to be considered as well as fiscal impact to the
Town. Accurate job descriptions were prepared by
department heads which were then analyzed by the
Board and recommendations made. Clarification of
most clerical positions was completed.
The consensus of the Personnel Board is that an
excellent beginning has been made in an area of vital
interest to the Town. We will continue to work toward
a totally equitable system.
In closing, we wish to express our appreciation for
the assistance given us by Executive Secretary,
Robert Lawton, and Assistant Executive Secretary,
Michael Lichten.

While space in this report precludes the detailed
enumeration of the conclusions and recommenda-
tions contained in the report, it is possible to highlight
the major areas to which the committee urged priority
attention. In the first instance the need for either
renovation and a modest addition to the Town Hall
or, in the alternative, a new facility was a high priority.
New facilities for the Department of Natural Resour-
ces and the Cemetery Department were strongly
urged by the committee, since in both instances the
departments had been functioning from the private
residences and properties of the respective depart-
ment heads. Additional administrative space was
recommended for the Water Department, and rec-
ommendations were also made for additional space
for the Fire Department.
The committee is gratified to see that certain of the
recommendations have already been or soon will be
implemented. The Town Hall issue became a subject
of another committee appointed in late 1979 to ad-
dress exclusively facilities needs in that area. The
Department of Natural Resources was assigned the
unused dog pound facilities on an interim basis to
relieve a serious problem in that department and
pending final policy decisions regarding the opera-
tion of a town -owned animal shelter.
The Highway Department as a result of impetus from
the study committee will gain a road salt storage shed
to shield stored salt from the elements and minimize
precipitation runoff which posed a serious threat to
the water table and thus Water Department wells
from whence comes the town's drinking water sup-
ply.

Although, as stated, several recommendations are
being responded to, many others contained in the
report remain to receive active consideration. Among
those remaining are: study to bring about centralized
vehicle and equipment maintenance facilities, ceme-
tery facilities, an all-out effort at developing an energy
conservation program and a meaningful building
maintenance program directed at preserving and
extending the life span of all municipal buildings.
The committee felt privileged to have served the town
in addressing such a multifaceted subject.

Report of the
Town Hall Study
Committee
To the Citizens of Yarmouth:
In response to recommendations made to the Board
of Selectmen and which were contained in the report
submitted in July, 1979 by the Municipal Building
Study Committee, the board, in September 1979,
appointed the Town Hall Study Committee with the
charge to the committee to review the findings of the
former committee, "fine tune" the issue of space re-
quirements, develop budgetary requirements for the
engagement of an architect for,the ultimate and prob-
able preparation of preliminary plans, specifications
and cost estimtes for either an addition/renovation of
the present Town Hall or a new Town Hall.
Beginning in September and still ongoing at the time
this report is being prepared, the committee has
engaged in a thorough review of previous study find-
ings, reassessed space requirements and prepared
cost estimates for both architectural services and
construction activities.
The committee plans to submit its final report and
recommendations early in 1980 and prior to Annual
Town Meeting. The committee, in order to allow the
Board of Selectmen the opportunity to request voter
action in 1980, prepared and submitted two warrant
articles for inclusion in the 1980 Annual Town Meet-
ing Warrant. The articles essentially seek authority to
appoint a Town Hall Building Committee and to ap-
propriate a sum of money for the engagement of an
architect.

Report of the
Capital Budget
Committee
The Capital Budget Committee is pleased to report
that significant progress was enjoyed during the cur-
rent year. A clear, workable understanding was
reached with the Finance Committee and with most
of the town departments. As the year progressed, it
became clear that a very different role existed for the
Capital Budget Committee. Our objective is to evalu-
ate projects in excess of $7,500. for three years' use
as to need, proper bidding procedures and to insure
that large expenditures will be justified through sav-
ings to the taxpayers in future years.
All departments were contacted and numerous hours
were spent evaluating costs and projected savings
data. Certain large project requests were withdrawn
or reduced, most often with agreement of the depart-
ments involved.
If all departments project the Capital Budget items
for five years we would be in a better position to fore-
cast future expenditures in order to bring stability to
future tax rates.
We thank the Selectmen, Finance Committee, and
the vast majority of town departments for the out-
standing cooperation we received.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter Butt, Chairman and

Report of the
Cemetery
Commissioners
During the year 1979 there were 90 cemetery lots
sold, mostly in Ancient Cemetery, revenue from
which came to $12,800.00.
A total of 115 burials were conducted in the several
cemeteries in the Town.
At this time space in Pine Grove Cemetery, South
Yarmouth, is no longer available. Sites in Ancient
Cemetery, Yarmouthport, are being sold rapidly and
it will be filled within the next few years.
Steel edging has been installed on the roadways in
Pine Grove Cemetery, South Yarmouth, which will
greatly improve the appearance.
Work is progressing in the new Chandler Gray
Cemetery off Higgins Crowell Road, West Yarmouth.
An area of some 10 or 12 acres has been cleared,
stumped, and rough graded; a work road has been
graded; temporary water service installed; and
preliminary plans have been prepared for the struc-
ture to be built to contain office and garage facilities.
Bids have been accepted for delivery of granite posts
and fencing for installation along the front property
line. This cemetery must be available for use as soon
as possible if we are to keep pace with the population,
which has increased by some 6,000 since 1969.
Visual, inspection of lots was started last summer
by a C.E.T.A. employee who was assigned to us for
about 3 months, and Pine Grove Cemetery was
completed.

Report of the Bass River
Golf Commission
For the fiscal year 1978 and 1979, the income from
the Bass River Golf Course amounted to $260,102.
The operating expenses amounted to $237,514.
leaving the net income of $22,588.
The membership grew close to 1,000 members. The
pro manager did a superb job trying to keep members
and daily green fees happy. A 24-hour schedule for
tee times was instigated. Members were given every
other tee time, while daily transit were given the
same privilege. This system worked very satisfac-
torily.

Report of the
Charter
Commission
In January 1979, residents of our town collected suf-
ficient signatures to place the question "Should the
town of Yarmouth form a Charter Commission?" on
its annual ballot. The results were positive. At the
same time, nine individuals were elected to serve as
the Charter Commission members.
The purpose of the Charter Commission is to draft a
Report of the
Cablevision
Advisory
Committee
The year 1979-1980 has been a quiet year for this
Committee.
Since Cablevision started here in 1966 it has grown
to where it now has 6,579 subscribers in the town of
Yarmouth - up from 6,251 a year earlier. Home Box
office which started in a flurry of discontent, had
1,147 subscribers in Yarmouth a year ago and on
December 31, 1979 had 1,179. The Cablevision sys-
tem in town had 147 miles of frontage a year ago and
today has 151 miles, thus being available to over
90% of the homes in town.
During the year the Cablevision Company added 2
services.
1. Close -Up - which is a 1 day per week educational
type of broadcast for teachers and students pro-
viding a close look and an interchange between
government and students.
2. C -Span - the broadcast of coverage of the U.S.
House of Representatives.
The cost of these 2 services were absorbed by the
Cablevision Company.
