Sherman Report of the President of the Village Im- provement Association for the Year Ending September 1, 1930 With this Report of the Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association, we wish to greet our many members and friends and to recall again the helpful ways in which the Associa- tion benefits the Town. Its aims are, and have been, to improve the Town and be an Improvement Association in every sense of the word. More and more each year the village has been benefited by the assistance and co- operation of the Association. Bar Harbor is fortunate in having most of the elements out of which a beauty spot can be made an invigorating climate which draws many people to its shores; prosperity which has its main source in this blessing of nature and in the industry of the people; able guidance of churches and schools; an active board of trade; a progressive medical profession and a first- class hospital; an American Red Cross Chapter, active Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., American Legion and clubs for men and women which are the center of social gatherings in the in- 6 PRESIDENT'S REPORT terest of literature, art and recreation. Bar Harbor has able, public spirited men and women conducting its affairs, and with them the V. I. A. and many summer residents are united in the desire to make this community a place where life is not only pleasing but useful and healthy. The summer residents who come to this resort to enjoy its climate, beauty and peace are more than ready to contribute their share to the public welfare. Their interest in, and contributions to, the V. I. A. are herewith set forth, and will increase as long as they have the effective co-operation of all permanent residents in placing the community on a well organized and efficient basis. This co-opera- tion may be strengthened by the presence of more permanent residents of the Town at the regular monthly meetings of the Association which are held at stated times each month during the summer. We hope for the presence of a larger number of residents at the meetings during the summer of 1931. 1.-FINANCE COMMITTEE Attention is specially called to the report of the Finance Committee, in whose charge are PRESIDENT'S REPORT 7 funds and investments aggregating about $20,000.00. The income received being speci- fically appropriated for the support of various paths and other purposes. These funds are invested only in the class of securities which are approved by the laws pertaining to trust funds in the States of Massachusetts and New York, and any member of our Association who wishes to contribute towards any specific object for the benefit of Bar Harbor can do SO with every assurance that the money SO received by us will be carefully guarded and all of the income will be used for the purposes specified. Our funds are audited each year and our books and accounts are always open to inspection to members. Lists of the bonds and securities in which our trust funds are invested are set forth in our Trustees' reports. 2.-SANITARY COMMITTEE The Sanitary Committee has been more than active and the report shows these activities. The health department of the Town was es- tablished largely through the efforts of this Committee. 8 PRESIDENT'S REPORT 3.-PATH COMMITTEE The report of the Path Committee explains in detail the care given to the innumerable and interesting walks to be found through the country surrounding Bar Harbor, which greatly add to this interesting feature of Bar Harbor life. This Committee superintends these paths, provides signs and sees that plants and trees are cared for. 4.-PARK COMMITTEE In the report on Parks the Committee de- scribes in detail their work which has been carefully cared for by the Chairman. He has not only cared for the parks, with the assist- ance of the Committee, but where means were not sufficient he has without hesitation con- tributed towards the work. 5.-GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE The report of the Good Roads Committee but scantily describes its usefulness. The roads which form such an attractive feature to Bar Harbor life in many instances run through places where the scenery has been obstructed by the growth of unattractive bushes and trees. In former days the views from these roads PRESIDENT'S REPORT 9 were exceptionally fine. Many of these views can no longer be seen at all. This Committee, with the assistance of the owners of the ad- joining land, are seeking to bring back many of these views SO that those who motor travel on the roadways of Mount Desert Island may enjoy these beautiful scenes. 6.-The Right Reverend William Lawrence, Bishop of Massachusetts, has been for many years an efficient and helpful member of this Association. He has held many offices and never failed to contribute towards our work. He was the principal in obtaining from Mr. Charles Eliot the beautiful plan for the devel- opment and beautification of Mount Desert Island. At the last Annual Meeting he was retired from the Vice-Presidency of this Asso- ciation, at his special wish. Public recognition of his great service, not only to this Association but the Town of Bar Harbor, should receive an appropriate recog- nition at an early date, and it seems to me our Association should recognize Bishop Lawrence in some appropriate way at our first meeting in 1931. GIST BLAIR, President. RESOLUTION: The Village Improvement As- sociation records with regret the death in July of Mrs. Emma B. Kennedy, its oldest members. Mrs. Kennedy has been identified with the Association since its beginning; and until two years ago was a regular and eager at- tendant at its meetings. She has been a gener- ous contributor to the Association itself and to the betterment of Bar Harbor. In her going the community has lost a public-spirited citizen whose positive and personal interest will long be attested by her gifts for the well-being of the people. RESOLUTION: Everybody who has come into touch with Mrs. Ketterlinus has had an appre- ciation of her staunchness, her real gift of a happy spirit, and of her quick, unstinted re- sponsiveness to calls upon her sympathy. Not only her personal friends, but Bar Harbor as a community have lost one with whom there have been friendly, happy, and helpful asso- ciations for a long period of years, and the loss is felt by all of us. This is an inadequate word, but it is meant to let you know our sense of a realization of this loss and to give you our warm sympathy. RESOLUTION: The Village Improvement As- sociation has learned with deep regret of the death of Mr. Leonard A. Austin, who for many years has been a member of its Finance Com- mittee. In its long period of acquaintance with Mr. Austin, the Association has always found in him calm and impartial judgment, a kindly and sympathetic spirit, and indeed friendliness and trustworthiness in large measure. The Association feels that his death is not only a loss to itself, but to all Bar Harbor. RESOLUTION: The Village Improvement As- sociation records with deep regret the death in March, 1930, of Mr. Lea McI. Luquer, a member of its Finance Committee. During his long connection with the Association, Mr. Luquer has served on many committees and has been earnestly interested in the purposes and accomplishments of the Association. Always alert to the various problems arising from the development of the village and of the National Park, he has won our gratitude by his never-failing thought and effort in behalf of the community.

CONNERS, Treasurer Auditor's Report I hereby certify that I have audited the accounts of the Bar Harbor Village Improve- ment Association for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1930, and find them correct with proper vouchers for all money expended. I have also verified the amount of the invest- ments and special funds and find the cash on hand as stated in the report of the Treasurer to agree with the balance on deposit with the Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Company. FRED L. HADLEY, Auditor. September 2, 1930. Bar Harbor, Maine. Report of Finance Committee The accounts of the Village Improvement Association have been audited and found cor- rect. Cash on hand at the present time is $3,199.34, a part of which is the income from funds donated for special purposes. The re- mainder will be invested under the supervision of the Finance Committee. The attached list shows all securities now held in different funds belonging to the Village Improvement Association. Respectfully submitted, C.P. BARNETT, Chairman. September 4, 1930. Report of Village Committee On the departure for Europe of Miss Ger- trude Sampson the Acting Chairman of the Village Committee, I was asked to substitute for her as Chairman. Before her departure Miss Sampson informed me that the general plan of the Committee's work had been laid out and that it was only necessary for me to give a general supervision to see that the work was carried out. This I have endeavored to do, and have found that on the whole the work has been well done. This report is only meant to cover the interim period of Miss Sampson's absence, and not the entire year's work of the Village Committee. Respectfully submitted, KATHERINE BARNETT, Acting Chairman. Report of the Sanitary Committee This year marks an important turning point in the affairs of this committee. Heretofore sanitary problems in Bar Harbor were attended to by a part-time health officer of the Town who performed his duties under great difficul- ties in an admirable manner. The Sanitary Committee of the V. I. A. had the privilege of co-operating in sanitary matters. Two years ago a movement was started with a view to the establishment of a Health Department which would take charge of sanitary problems in a more up-to-date manner. The Town of Bar Harbor is to be congratulated upon the wise and far-sighted decision to make the necessary appropriation for the creation of such a Health Department and the appointment of a trained, full-time health officer. This step adds to the fine reputation which Bar Harbor has enjoyed. as a community managing its affairs efficiently and in a progressive spirit. Mr. A. A. Robertson has been in office as the Health Officer for three months and all indications point to a cordial co-operation 20 SANITARY COMMITTEE between him and the other agencies concerned in the public welfare of our community. In regard to the health conditions of last year the following data are of interest to the V. I. A.: During the year ending August 31st, 1930, the following cases of communicable diseases were reported: Scarlet fever 7 Typhoid fever 1 Pulmonary tuberculosis 2 Septic sore throat 8 Vincent's angina 1 Whooping-cough 5 Mumps 5 Chicken-pox 5 Toward the end of August there were indi- cations of a mild epidemic of mumps. The death-rate for 1929, corrected for resi- dent and non-resident deaths was 14.5. The infant death rate for 1929 was 23.8. The tuberculosis death rate is somewhat high for a community of our size and our type. During the summer months about one-fifth of the milk supply of the town was Pasteurized. But this Pasteurized milk was transported from SANITARY COMMITTEE 21 Bangor, a distance of fifty miles, usually kept here over night and delivered next morning. Obviously such arrangements are not entirely satisfactory, and the whole question of securing the best available milk supply for Bar Harbor is being investigated. The sanitary disposal of garbage and other waste has been much improved by the con- struction of a 60-ton incinerator at a cost of $80,000. The problem of municipal collection of garbage is now under investigation by the Board of Selectmen because it has been found that many local residents cannot afford the cost of having the garbage collected and conse- quently several vacant lots in the town have become a dumping ground. Another problem which will engage our attention concerns the many shacks still in- habited in Bar Harbor. Many of them should be condemned as unfit for human habitation, but such a procedure would force the occu- pants to find habitation somewhere else and in many instances this would mean a great hardship to the people concerned. The Health Officer from whose report these data are ob- tained suggests that this subject be studied by the different public agencies concerned includ- ing the V. I. A. 22 SANITARY COMMITTEE Already two years ago it was suggested by this committee that the most promising plan of reorganizing sanitary supervision of Bar Har- bor ought to be linked up with the larger plan of organizing Mount Desert Island as a health district. Conferences and correspondence with the Commissioner of Health of the State of Maine indicated that such a plan appears high- ly desirable and would have the full endorse- ment of the State authorities. It stands to reason that even the best health supervision of Bar Harbor could not exclude danger to our populations as long as adjacent communities are not organized on the same or similar basis. Obviously it would be in the interest of efficien- cy and economy to bring the different commun- ities of this Island into an organized unit of health service for which each town would pay its proportionate share. Efforts are made to bring about the necessary negotiations. While it will inevitably take some time to inform public opinion on such an undertaking it may be confidently hoped that such an arrangement will be brought about in the near future. Sincerely yours, L. KAST, Chairman. Report of Path Committee Removal of 213 trees, building new cairns, bridges, putting up many new steps and step- ping stones, bushing and mowing have kept two men busy all summer. Destruction of a part of one of the trails on the eastern side of Newport Mountain by a landslide last winter has added to the work. The men report that more people have been walking than for several years past which encouraged them to do the best they can. Thanks are again due Andrew Liscomb and the National Park authorities for their continued help and advice. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD PEABODY, Chairman. Report of Park Committee During the past year much important work has been done in both Glen Mary and Wood- bury Parks, especially in improving the condi- tion of the trees. In Glen Mary Park, where the white pine blister had been very prevalent in the pine trees, as all the infected branches possible were cut out the previous year, there was compara- tively little of the blister found, but the dead wood was taken from the deciduous trees and the spruces during the autumn and winter, and the condition of the trees on the hillside has shown great improvement this summer in consequence of the work done. In the lower portion of the Park, which is much used by the children, there was a large amount of poisonous ivy growing, especially along Spring Street and Morris Avenue, which had to be destroyed. It has proved very difficult to destroy the roots and more work will be necessary there this autumn. Many of the trees in that part of the Park have been much damaged by the children, and the winter PARK COMMITTEE 25 has proved to be a particularly hard one especi- ally on the cedars. The old Balm of Gilead trees are dying out fast, and your Committee hopes that it may be possible to have these trees replaced by some good maples. In the winter, the hollow was flooded and it made a good skating pond for the children, which they enjoyed very much and used ex- tensively. In the early spring, all that Park and the land of the adjoining property owners was thoroughly examined for new growth of the wild currant bushes which propagate the white pine blister, and a large number de- stroyed. In the Woodbury Park we have found an alarming amount of white pine blister, par- ticularly in the young pine trees, and felt that the neighboring land had not been carefully cleared of the propagating plant, as no currant bushes could be found in Woodbury Park. Mr. Frost, head of the State Commission in charge of this work, very kindly came to Bar Harbor and made a thorough examination of the condition of these trees, with me, and ex- plained that the infection was caused long be- fore the eradication of the currant bushes by 26 PARK COMMITTEE the State Commission, and some of the branch- es infected as long as fifteen years ago. The blister appears only on branches that can be cut off without serious injury to the trees, as it does not appear upon the trunks, not having reached them yet. As the State does not re- move branches, your Committee will have that work done this autumn, which Mr. Frost states will be time enough. Mr. Frost has agreed that the State Commission will have all the land neighboring the Park exam- ined again by their men, and any wild currant and gooseberry bushes that may be there eradi- cated without expense to the V. I. A. The How Memorial Park has been very well cared for this summer and kept in excellent condition. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. SAMPSON, Chairman. Report of Good Roads Committee The Good Road Committee of the V. I. A. herewith submits its Annual Report for the year ending September 4, 1930. Net result: Numerous cuttings and clear- ances principally along the Bay View Drive and the Schooner Head Road; also removal of old shacks, signs, and other unsightly objects from the public highways: nearly all of which work has been noted in previous reports, to- gether with assurance of further co-operation with the V. I. A. on the part of Mr. A. At- water Kent and others. ALSOP LEFFINGWELL, Chairman. Members Ex-Officio Selectmen: Mr. Julien Emery Mr. Alvah Abbott Mr. Seth Libby For 1930 Mr. Eben K.
