A. as of August 1, 1940 The report of this committee will be made under the various headings which deal with matters of sanitation. 1. VILLAGE STREETS. Clean-up Week was held from May 17-25, during which 417 loads of leaves, brush and the like were hauled to the incinerator. The condition of the streets may be said to be satisfactory since this spring clean-up. 2. CAMPING GROUNDS. The camp- ing site at Morrell Park (Bear Brook Camp- ing Ground) showed the following census for the summer of 1939: Number of parties: 1,225. Number of individuals: 3,952. These figures are practically identical with those for the preceding summer. During the summer of 1940 at the time of this report, the census shows about a 30% decrease over the corresponding period. This welcomed decrease is undoubtedly due to the opening of the Seawall Camp Ground which is now in full operation. There has been no change in the sanitary accommodations at the Morrell Park site, which was reported in detail in last year's report. These were found to be passable but inadequate. The Seawall Camp consists of 30 acres 5 of land, and is zoned to accommodate 64 parties or 250 individuals. The sanitary accommodations at the Seawall Camp con- sist of 18 faucets, 2 large toilet houses, each containing 10 units. Sewage is conducted from one toilet house directly into the ocean; the other is drained after passing through a septic tank of 4,000 gallons capacity. The source of the water supply is an artesian well from which water is pumped to an elevated tank with a capacity of 15,000 gallons. There are as yet no shower bath accommodations, but these are de- finitely planned for. There are 6 refuse cans, the contents of which are disposed of on the town dump. The census for 1940 up to August 1st at the Seawall Camp is 54 parties or 192 in- dividuals. The Black Woods Camp at Otter Creek comprises 175 acres of land, is zoned for 570 parties or 2,000 individuals. It is not yet ready for occupation, due to delay in construction work. There is a bare pos- sibility that this camp may be available next summer. In last year's report this committee re- commended that a limit of 70 parties should be placed on the Morrell Park or Bear Brook Camp Grounds regardless of whether or not the new camp sites were completed. This recommendation has not been carried out. 6 3. LOCAL MILK SUPPLY. There are approximately 16 dairies supplying Bar Harbor with milk. Eight of these deliver milk to a central pasteurizing plant oper- ated on a farmer's cooperative basis. The remaining eight deliver milk individually, one of this number resorting to pasteur- izing. Tuberculin testing was carried out on all herds in September, 1939, complying with the Federal requirements for modified ac- credited areas in which examination is car- ried out once in three years. No reactors were found as a result of the 1939 survey. Four dairies operating under grade A per- mit had their annual tuberculin test carried out in May, 1940. The status, therefore, of bovine tuberculosis is completely satis- factory. Bang's Disease or Contagious Abortion is controlled in all new cattle brought to the Island. Seven herds were tested for this disease in January of 1938, two herds in May and June of 1939 and four herds in May of 1940. The control of this disease rests upon a voluntary cooperation between dairymen and Federal inspection. Appro- priation for this inspection, however, is in- adequate and consequently frequent in- spections are impossible. Undulant Fever, or Malta Fever, the disease produced in humans by milk infected with Bang's bacil- lus has not been reported in Bar Harbor for 7 at least eight years. The Committee wishes to re-emphasize that adequate pasteuriza- tion is the surest, and only practical method for preventing Undulant Fever. The Chairman of this Committee has initiated a personal survey of all dairies on this Island with the cooperation of the local health officer. This is a rather extensive undertaking aimed at making practical suggestions where they are needed towards improvement of methods and equipment. This Committee urgently recommends to the local health department that bacterial and chemical anlyses of milk be carried out on each herd at least fortnightly. These analyses have been found to be too infre- quent for public safety in the case of three dairies. Appreciating the difficulties attendant to sending samples of milk to Orono, Maine where the state Laboratory is located, it is strongly recommended that the town of- ficials appropriate approximately $500.00 annually for additional analysis to be car- ried out at the local Hospital. The Committee also strongly recom- mends an appropriation of approximately $175.00 which would cover the annual cost of tuberculin and Bang's Disease testing of all the local herds. This Committee is confident that the local milk problem will be markedly im- proved through the above three means, 8 namely: (1) annual survey, (2) bi-weekly milk analyses, (3) annual tuberculin and Bang's testing. 4. APPOINTMENT OF LOCAL PHY- SICIAN TO WARRANT COMMITTEE. The reported recommendation to the V. I. A. to this effect has not been carried out. 5. APPOINT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN. Dr. C. Frederick Larrabee is continuing his duties as town physician. His work com- prises caring for the indigent, examination of school children and carrying out routine diagnostic work in infectious diseases. 6. OVERNIGHT CABINS. These cab- ins are under the supervision of State Laws concerning licenses and sanitary arrange- ments. The multiplication of this type of hostelry should be definitely curtailed in the interests of village improvement. 7. WATER SUPPLY. The Committee has found satisfactory the bacterial and chemical analyses of the local water supply from Eagle Lake. Recent construction work around Sieur de Monts Spring has warranted closer ob- servation of the quality of the spring water. The analysis of July 12th was found to be entirely satisfactory. 8. INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The fol- lowing infectious diseases were reported from July 1, 1939 to June 1, 1940 German Measles 30 Measles 15 9 Whooping Cough 4 Pneumonia 4 Chicken Pox 3 Diphtheria 1 Meningitis 1 The individual cases of Diphtheria and Epidemic Meningitis were both contracted on the mainland and transported to the local Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. There were no cases of Infantile Paralysis during the past year. 9. ISOLATION HSPITAL. Current re- pairs have been carried out on this building as recommended last year. 10. RAGWEED ELIMINATION. The Chairman of this Committee has carried out extensive correspondence with State and Federal authorities, as well as recog- nized experts, on hay fever, the role played by ragweed in this disease, and methods of prevention. This information has been summarized in a letter published in the Bar Harbor Times in the issue of August 2, 1940. In it are emphasized the facts that the prevalence of this pollen in Bar Har- bor is relatively low and that effective local eradication of the plant would completely eliminate its presence and would thus make this community hay fever free. The Director of the Department of Health Welfare has informed this Commit- tee of a statute relating to the destruction of bushes and weeds on the highway for 10 which each city and town should set aside 5% of the appropriation for ways and bridges. This Committee urges our Repre- sentatives in the Legislature to amend this statute to include ragweed elimination. This specific inclusion would avoid the ne- cessity for special appropriations and the difficulties encountered annually in obtain- ing same. 11. Of the various nuisances from a public health standpoint this Committee wishes to bring up that of the black fly (Simulium venustum). The Chairman of this Committee is contacting various health authorities and national experts with a view of obtaining detailed information about the habits, life cycle and methods of control of this insect. A careful survey of the brooks and streams in this community will be necessary to estimate the extent of the control problem. This is, of course, a large undertaking, but one that is extremely important. Respectfully submitted, STANLEY J. G. NOWAK, Chairman, Committee on Sanitation. August 3, 1940 Bar Harbor, Me. 11 Report of Village Committee We beg to report our activities during the past year. We employed C. Edward Mitchell to take care of the work as for- merly. The general condition of the town is satisfactory excepting the Shore Path. As Miss Coleman reported at our last meeting, the Shore Path has had the same care. Mitchell goes around every morning excepting Sunday and picks up all paper and burns it. The tin cans are put in re- ceptacles and taken to the town dump twice a week. We suggest that our appropria- tion be raised fifty dollars ($50.00) a year making it five hundred dollars instead of four hundred and fifty. This would enable us to have Mitchell go around Sunday mornings and clean up as Sunday seems to be when our trouble is, after Saturday afternoon and evening. Also, it would en- able us to have the barrels emptied three times a week instead of two. The cemetery, under the supervision of Mrs. W. E. Patterson, is in good condition all the time. Mrs. A. Murray Young has the supervision of all roads from Mt. Desert Street by Kebo Street to Main Street and reports any irregularities such as cans, bot- tles and garbage. Regarding ragweed, I have taken this matter up with Mr. Edgar Higgins, Chair- man of the Board of Selectmen. He has no 12 men available for this work. He referred me to the Overseer of the Poor. He has only two men able to work and they are otherwise employed and as your committee has no appropriation we cannot do any cleaning. Dr. Nowak has a report to make on ragweed which covers this subject. We trust you will vote us the additional appro- priation to enable us to carry out our re- commendations. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. STALFORD, Chairman 13 Report of Committee on Parks We respectfully submit that we believe the Parks to be in better condition than last year-and that this is largely due to hav- ing drawn up in advance a set of formal specifications for the Parks work such as architects and landscapers use. It has enabled the members of the Committee to inspect and see that the various items were done at the times specified. The tax was abated which had been as- sessed for the year 1939 on land in and around Woodbury and How Parks, which the Association had acquired to protect its roadside borders. More land had been obtained than was needed and this excess is now posted for sale. In Glen Mary Park the Leland Harrison Pond again furnished admirable skating during November and December, and we are indebted to the Mount Desert Outing Club for its successful management. An attempt to clean out and remove under- brush was less successful, but by cutting away a little more each year we hope to attain a more park-like appearance. The Parent-Teachers Association has asked for a playground for the small chil- dren under twelve. They do not want an equipment of swings and tilts but a level area for playing ball, tag and like games. As there is available a level space of nearly 14 the right size already surfaced with stones and pebbles we expect to approve of doing this as soon as we can afford it. Through the gift of Mrs. Edgar Scott the beautiful woodlands surrounding Fawn Pond in the Hulls Cove region has been cleared of undergrowth. This is one of the most lovely spots on the Island and more of us should walk in it to know its beauty. The Committee still needs money for new seats in the Parks. Respectfully submitted, DR. AUGUSTUS THORNDIKE 15 Report of Committee on Paths Your Committee is pleased to report that the work on the endowed paths directly in the care of the Village Improvement As- sociation is being carried on faithfully with the funds specifically set aside for this pur- pose. Walkers report that all these trails are in good condition and are well looked after. With reference to the unendowed paths we have reported to the National Park au- thorities any trails which we found in poor shape and they have promised to fix them before the end of the season. In several cases V. I. A. funds have been used where the necessity for immediate attention seemed very important. We are assured by the Park authorities that the trails in and about Newport Mountain will be looked over soon and that more new signs will be placed to mark the paths. Several signs are to be put at the head of Canyon Brook Path shortly. We cannot speak too highly of the cooperation we have received from Mr. Hadley, Assistant Superintendent of the National Park. He is always full of interest and ready to help in any emer- gency. It is gratifying to report that walkers seem more numerous this summer than at 16 any time in the past five years. In one morning over fifty persons were encoun- tered on Newport Mountain recently. Respectfully submitted, JOHN DeWITT PELTZ, Chairman, Committee on Paths. 17 Report of Committee on Roads The usual appropriation was made this year to keep open the last remaining view of Frenchman's Bay-between Bar Harbor and Hulls Cove; but it was thought wisest to wait and add more to the sum next year SO that trees, which are growing larger and thicker from continual topping, might be cut down and SO make it possible to look down into the water from the cliff and real- ly enjoy a perfectly clear view of the bay for that short distance. We do recommend however that the few single picturesque birches which rather resemble the olives overlooking the Bay of Naples be retained and a few others encouraged to take the places of these old ones as they die off. It has seemed to your Committee a pity that this same sort of work of preserving or conserving views, where there is an es- pecially beautiful outlook, is not followed, before it is too late, in other parts of the Island. Many of the so-called Scenic Roads, which have been built SO recently now have no views at all but are shut in, mostly by scrub birch and are therefore completely uninteresting and fail in the purpose for which they were intended. For example, the road by Eagle Lake to Bubble Pond and from there to Seal Harbor which was SO beautiful and so popular a few years ago as a point from which the sunset could be seen to best advantage has lost much of its beauty and is no longer used for this 18 purpose because scrub birch trees of no value now completely obliterate the views. This is the case in many parts of the Island and your Committee suggests that the C. C. C. boys might do a real service to the community by cutting vistas and clearing view points under careful supervision of a Park official. Many complaints have been received on the subject of tourists throwing things out of motors - of course, the most serious things thrown about are matches and cigar- ette stubs, but presumably the Park of- ficials can take care of this danger. It seemed, however, our duty to try to do something about the papers, boxes, and rubbish generally which litter the road- sides and in this connection we obtained the consent of the Chambers of Commerce and other Village Improvement Associations on the Island and placed signs at the bridge asking motorists to refrain from throwing rubbish and from posting up bills and ad- vertisements. Also at our suggestion the Chambers of Commerce agreed that re- quests to this effect would be incorporated conspicuously in the booklet which is given to motorists who stop at the Information Station at the entrance to the Island. This, however, will have to wait for another year as the booklet is already printed for this season. Respectfully submitted, MRS. HAROLD PEABODY, Chairman. 19 Report of Special Committee on Change of Name and Revision of the By-laws The Committee reports that it is unable to find urgent need of any important change in the by-laws unless in the matter of the collection of membership and life membership fees, and we suggest that the charter and by-laws be reprinted subject to any changes in requirements for the pay- ments of membership fees which the com- mittee on finance may wish to designate. As to the proposal to change the name of the Association we are unanimously in favor of making no change. This proposal originated with me, for I had been struck by the absence of young recruits and thought a change of name might attract new young members. We believe that more interest could be aroused in another way; by initiating affiliation with the other Village Improvement Associations on the Island-either an annual combined meet- ing or a joint committee to consider ques- tions of importance to all the local Asso- ciations. The publication of the Path Map of Mount Desert Island which is soon to be revised and issued might benefit by a joint session of the chairmen of the path com- mittees because the new park roads make it necessary to relocate a number of paths. 20 The paths on park property are now being properly maintained through the congres- sional appropriation for Acadia National Park, and these may need to be watched. This procedure should apply to all the paths in any township of Mount Desert Is- land and so far is being carried out in Bar Harbor. We therefore move that the charter and by-laws be reprinted subject to such change as the finance committee wish and that the finance committee be and is hereby given authority to do SO. And we further move that the President invite the other Village Improvement Associations or their officers or representatives to a joint meeting to plan for greater cooperation. Respectfully submitted, DR. AUGUSTUS THORNDIKE, Chairman, Special Committee On Change of Name and Revision of the By-laws. 21 TREASURER'S REPORT Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association Statement of Assets and Liabilities July 31, 1940 ASSETS Cash on hand $ 326.17 General Fund Investment 6,171.73 Nolan Pamphlet and Gateway (Savings Deposit) 300.00 Sanitary Committee Fund (Savings De- posit) 793.07 $ 7,590.97 Trust Fund Investments 15,569.17 $23,160.14 LIABILITIES Sanitary Committee Fund $ 793.07 Nolan Pamphlet and Gateway 300.00 Profit and Loss 6,497.90 $ 7,590.97 Trust Funds $15,569.17 $23,160.14 TRUST FUNDS Bates Bequest $ 5,012.50 Canyon Brook Path Fund 1,025.00 Canyon Brook Path Fund Interest 117.76 Green Mt.
