Shenton, whose recent death deprived the Association of its secretary, was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a distinguished scholar; his explorations into sociolo- gical conditions are widely read today; he was an Assistant Professor at Columbia and later full Professor at Syracuse University. He began coming to Hulls Cove three years ago and his love of nature soon led him to the V. I. A. meetings where his encouraging and stimu- lating words did much to restore confidence in the objects for which this Association has always had to strive. He gave of his time and energy freely to many things. Among those of local interest, the Inter- national Auxiliary Language Society organized to promote a freer interchange of ideas between peo- ple of different tongues, and the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation. We grieve for one who, though he was with us for a brief time, was a strong helper. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we express our appreciation of his character and work by placing this resolution on the records of the V. I. A. and sending a copy of the same to Mrs. Shenton. 5 The V. I. A. of Bar Harbor has sustained a most grievous loss in the death of Mrs. John Mar- koe which occurred in Philadelphia March 31st last. Mrs. Markoe was one of the most faithful members of the V. I. A. She attended our meet- ings for many years, always making valuable sug- gestions, and adding a most delightful touch of humor to any of her remarks. In the anti-fly cam- paign which she inaugurated here in the pre-war days she was particularly active. (She had mov- ing pictures of the fly very largely magnified thrown on a screen at one of our V. I. A. meetings, and later had the same pictures shown at the Casino so every one in Bar Harbor had a chance to see them, and thus helped to bring about very neces- sary sanitary reforms, to the great benefit of the community.) Mrs. Markoe was also active on many other committees during the long years of her association with the Village improvements here. She was beloved by young and old, and her kindly ways and always witty comments will be much missed by all who attended our monthly meet- ings. Besides her interests in the V. I. A., Mrs. Markoe did a great deal of work for Bar Harbor through the Red Cross, the Mt. Desert Island Hos- pital, St. Saviour's Church and Jesup Memorial Library. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we express our veneration for the memory of Mrs. Markoe and for all the benefits she has conferred on our Association by recording the same in the records of the V. I. A. and sending a copy to her three nieces, Miss Mary Roberts Coles, Mrs. George S. Robbins and Mrs. John Newbold. 6 WHEREAS, on the fifth day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, FRANK B. ROWELL passed away at Mt. Kisco, New York, in the sixty- third year of his life, it seems fitting that due recognition be given at this time to the fact that for more than fifteen years, as Secretary of the Village Improvement Association, he rendered most valuable service in giving such full measure of his time, of his energy and of his guiding influence in behalf of our Association, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, we, the members of the Vil- lage Improvement Association, met together this seventeenth day of June 1937, at our regular meet- ing, do hereby record in the Annals of the Associa- tion an acknowledgement of our appreciation of the long and loyal service rendered by Mr. Rowell, and, do extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Rowell in this her hour of great bereavement, and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, the Secretary be instructed to forward a copy of these RESOLU- TIONS to Mrs. Rowell together with a MEMO- RIAL. 7 Report of the Sanitary Committee The committee has taken into consider- ation various local problems with regard to public health. With regard to the alle- viation of some of these, recommendations will be made. 1. CONDITION OF THE VILLAGE STREETS. The attention of the Committee was called to the fact that the present sys- tem of street cleaning is inadequate be- cause the daily cleaning process termi- nates at 7 A. M. As a result there has been an unsightly and unsanitary accumulation of litter on the streets and sidewalks dur- ing the day and evening. In accordance with a recommendation of the committee, the Road Commissioner was requested to supply a full time man whose duty it should be to patrol the streets during the after- noon and evening, and to collect and re- move all litter accumulated in the village area. Although money for this extra ser- vice had not been appropriated, Mr. Hamor was able to finance this extra service. This he did at once, and the condition of the streets may now be regarded as satisfac- tory from the standpoint of cleanliness. 2. OVER-NIGHT CABINS. These structures offer health problems of their own which are too obvious to require enum- eration. The recent increase of these clus- 8 ters of cabins has caused natural concern to the citizens of Bar Harbor not only from the standpoint of public health but also from the fact that they deface the land- scape. Fortunately these cabins are under the supervision of the Public Health De- partment of the State of Maine. Owners of cabins are required to take out a license yearly and before this license is granted the owner has to show that he has complied with the various reasonable rules as to plumbing, air space allotted to each indi- vidual lodging, height of cabin from ground and water supply. Subsequent in- spections are made from time to time by State Officials and the condition of the cab- ins is supervised also by the village Health Officer. As a result of the zoning ordinance passed at the last town meeting, no new cabins may be constructed within the vil- lage area, with the exception of such cab- ins as were under construction when the or- dinance was passed. The restricted area is as follows: All that land bounded on the north by the junction of the Ovens Road on Route No. 3, and on the west the restricted area includes all land between the coast line and an imaginary line extending two miles from the coast line. This restricted area is shown on the accompanying map. 9 3. PUBLIC CAMPING GROUND. In our report of last year, we called attention to the condition of over crowding which was present at the public camping ground back of Morrell Park and to the hazards to public health of introducing a relatively large and very transient popu- lation into any populated region. This year the over crowding is even greater than it was at the time of our last report. Last year during the summer the average daily population of the trailer camp was 210- 215. This year the number of visitors has increased to a daily average of 245-250. As many as 390 persons have occupied the camp on a single day. The Camp Director has informed your chairman that the new camp at Seawall will be opened for a few visitors sometime during the present week. Due to a handi- cap of insufficient water supply, the open- ing of the camp has been postponed and the ground cannot even now be fully utilized. Unfortunately the new camping ground is designed apparently merely to supplement the facilities of the present camp, and not to serve as a substitute for it. 4. WATER SUPPLY. The quality of the water supply of the Bar Harbor Water Company is satisfactory as judged by the low bacterial count and the failure to iden- tify colon bacillus in any of the specimens examined. A possible contamination by 10 swimmers and by gulls is still to be borne in mind. In accordance with a previous recommendation of the committee, a repre- sentative of the Water Company has been sworn in as constable so that he can, if nec- essary, arrest violators of the swimming or- dinance. So far no arrests have been made. The boys of the CCC Camp are forbidden to swim in the lake and apparently obey orders. Signs have been posted at various points of ingress to the lake which in- form would-be swimmers that bathing in Eagle Lake is prohibited. In the past some of these signs have been removed and a new set of signs is being printed on cloth. These will be affixed to trees along the paths. Such cloth signs have been found to be more permanent than the board signs now in use. 5. MILK SUPPLY. The local milk supply is regarded as satisfactory. All cows have been tested for tuberculosis and no positive reactors have been found in the Bar Harbor area. No Bangs disease has been recognized. Dairymen have been in- structed as to the significance of abortion as occurring in cows and the menace to their herds and employees which would re- sult if infected cattle were not destroyed promptly. The condition of the herds is under thorough control. That this control is reasonably efficient may be inferred from the fact that no case of undulant 11 fever has been contracted in the district during the past five years. 6. INFECTIOUS DISEASES. One case of suspected poliomyelitis arose at Otter Creek in the summer of 1936. The patient was treated at the Isolation Hospital in Bar Harbor. This patient is said to have made a complete recovery. One other case of poliomyelitis was recognized outside of the Bar Harbor district, which is now be- ing isolated at the local hospital. The com- mittee is not in possession of all of the facts in regard to these cases, but the health of- ficer believes that in each instance infec- tion occurred before patient came to the island. In our report of last year we called attention to the fact that contacts of the typhoid patient who had died recently at the Isolation Hospital were being given typhoid inoculations, and that a search for a typhoid carrier was being conducted. The patient's wife was found to be a ty- phoid carrier. Eventually this woman's gall bladder was removed, and subsequent tests conducted on this patient's excreta have been negative. She is probably not a carrier at this time. The contagious diseases as usually OC- curring in children have not been unduly prevalent in this community. The Health Officer has furnished me with the following notes in regard to im- 12 munization and other precautionary care of children and adult population: Various clinics were carried on during the school year. In the diphtheria im- munization clinic held in May, 105 child- ren received the toxoid treatment, and 67 were given the Schick test; a total of 85% of the school children in the town immun- ized. In March 1937, vaccination against smallpox brought the total percent of children vaccinated up to 83 in the town of Bar Harbor. A tuberculosis clinic was held in the fall in cooperation with the State Depart- ment of Health. 594 children were given the skin test or 53% of the children. 35 were given chest X-rays; 27 were called in for physical examination and consulta- tion with their family physician. There were no active cases of tuberculosis found. This clinic is held about every two years. A good many of the children called in for X-rays are cases that require checking periodically, and do not represent new cases. 7. ISOLATION HOSPITAL. No pa- tients have been admitted to the Isolation Hospital during the past year. Needed repairs have been carried out on the in- terior of the building. The exterior of the building and surrounding grounds will be 13 repaired during the coming year as money becomes available for the purpose. 8. PERSONNEL OF WARRANT COM- MITTEE. In its last report your commit- tee recommends that a medical man serve on the Town Warrant Committee. This recommendation has not been carried out, but an attempt will be made to secure such an appointment upon the next committee to be appointed. Recommendations: 1. That sufficient money be appropri- ated by the town for street cleaning to pro- vide efficient service during the summer seasons beginning 1938. 2. That the Public Camping Ground at Morrell Park be abandoned and that land be set aside for this purpose at some point or points at a greater distance from the centers of population. 3. That a list be published in the Bar Harbor Times about July 1st, 1938, which shall include the names of all dairymen who have complied with all the sanitary requirements. 4. That a physician who is a winter as well as a summer resident shall be appoint- ed to serve upon the Warrant Committee. In conclusion the committee records its belief that the local health officer is doing his work efficiently and that the sanitary 14 conditions in Bar Harbor are reasonably satisfactory. Respectfully submitted, JAMES D. HEARD Chairman Sanitary Committee 15 Report of the Village Committee Your committee beg to report on the work to date. Mrs. W. E. Patterson, who superintends the cemetery, shows that it is receiving great care. Mrs. A. Murray Young takes care of any nuisances that may show up in her section. Miss Fanny Nor- ris takes good care of the Eagle Lake Road section, and in the absence of Miss Coleman I have taken care of the shore path. The shore path has had its regular care all summer and the new bridge was built in front of the E. B. McLean Estate as this was reported as dangerous. We are still working on the ragweed and will do SO up to the twentieth. There is still a great deal of it on private unim- proved property. All the improved prop- erty owners do cooperate with us. The town raised two hundred dollars for this work and last year you voted fifty dollars additional. Your committee are satisfied that the town as a whole is in a neat condition. We will require the same amount of money next year to carry on this work. The committee was requested by Mr. George H. Beard to send a report to Mr. 16 C. P. Salvester, of Portland, Maine, how we handled the ragweed situation here and how it was financed. This letter was answered. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. STALFORD Chairman Village Committee 17 Report of Committee on Parks The Park Committee has little new to report. As reported at the July meeting, the parks have been put in good condition, and all have been well maintained through the season. The parks are much used and your Committee wishes to emphasize the need of additional seats and benches for immediate use, if possible. We regret that lack of means has pre- vented giving any care to the very beauti- ful tract of forty-five acres given by Mr. Charles T. Howe to the Village Improve- ment Association for a park. This land in- cludes Fawn Pond and adjoins the boun- dary of the Acadia National Park at Lake- wood. More care of the paths and the whole property is desirable. Your Committee again highly com- mends the excellent work done by Mr. Stalford in the upkeep and care of Glen Mary and Woodbury Parks, and by Mr. Shand of the Howe Memorial. Yours respectfully, CHARLES E. SAMPSON Chairman of the Park Committee 18 Report of Committee on Paths The paths coming under the jurisdic- tion of the Association have received the usual attention during the year. This in- cluded cutting brush, mowing, relaying stones, placing and renewing signs, remov- ing fallen trees, re-construction bridges and culverts, and such other repairs and improvements as conditions required. The long periods of fair weather this summer have permitted the almost constant em- ployment of two men in this work during the season. The large sections of the Island which are being absorbed into the National Park leave but a small proportion of the former mileage of paths to the care of the Associa- tion and make it increasingly important that there should be a revision of the whole situation. The Association should obtain from the government some assurance that the paths located in the Park be regularly inspected and maintained in as safe and satisfactory manner as when under the supervision of the Association. Such is not the case at the present time. Due to lack of funds and other interests the care of the paths within the Park has been sadly neglected, and in some instances through deterioration of former safeguards and failure to maintain an active supervision 19 some paths are in a hazardous state. There should be concentrated effort with fixed responsibility and means provided to car- ry out a program that would assure proper maintenance of the paths. Your Committee is extremely anxious to have the members of the Association and their friends take every opportunity to make known the beauty and charm of our Island paths in order to bring to the youth of today a realization of the pleas- ure and benefit which may be gained by walks through the woods and over the mountains-a pastime so peculiarly a part of the traditions of the Island of Mt. Des- ert. The Committee further wishes to ex- press its appreciation of the valued coop- eration accorded to it by the members of the Association in calling attention to un- satisfactory conditions found along the paths in course of their walks.
