September 1st, 1929. *List appears in Treasurer's Report. Report of the Village Committee A committee which undertakes to make of the village a Spotless Town must sympathize with the mythological character who forever pushed a stone uphill to have it forever come back on him, and if their efforts do not seem to have amounted to much they can only quote the old entreaty of the Western dance hall manager to his audience, not to shoot the fid- dler, as he was doing his best. The work of the Committee began on the first of May, temporarily under the kind and efficient care of Mr. J. Alden Morse, and as the man who has had charge of it for some years had become increasingly unsatisfactory, his place was filled by Arthur Reynolds, who has taken great interest in his job, and has done it, on the whole, well. Owing to the curve of the shore between the dock and the Hardy cottage the sea bites into it every winter, rendering the stone wall shaky in parts, and the Shore Path almost impassa- ble. The Maine Central Railroad, to which all that land belongs, again refused to do any re- pairs, SO the committee had to spend a consider- 10 VILLAGE COMMITTEE able sum for gravel, to say nothing of the time needed for the work. The Village Cemetery, next to St. Saviour's Church, belongs to SO many people that it is nobody's particular business to keep it in or- der, except in the case of the Higgins lot, for which a fund is provided. The committee hopes that the cemetery will be thought to have been kept creditably this summer. The usual collection of litter has been made daily along the Shore Path, the lanes leading to it, and the side streets, and twenty-three bar- rels for refuse are in use in the village, along the Shore Path and on the Ocean Drive. A note to Mr. T. L. Roberts brought about a great improvement in the looks of the large lot on Main Street, between the street leading to the Hospital and Wayman Lane, but there are two eyesores which have troubled the Committee even more than they can have offended passers- by; one is the Town Lot, which is now a dusty and arid waste, and the other a squalid settle- ment, including a graveyard for deceased motor cars, on the road leading to Strawberry Hill. The committee has been powerless to do anything worth speaking of in either case, because the conditions need more radical im- provement than it can give. VILLAGE COMMITTEE 11 In conclusion, the committee reports leaving the tools, barrels and other equipments for its work in good condition, and ready for another season, and recommends that unless something unforeseen occurs, Arthur Reynolds may be employed again, as he now knows what has to be done. Respectfully submitted, MARY CADWALADER JONES, Chairman. Report of Sanitary Committee The Sanitary Committee of the V. I. A. re- ports that there were no occasions during the last year which required action of this commit- tee as a whole. We wish to record here the splendid spirit of cooperation shown by Dr. L. Sherman Cleaves, the Health Officer of Bar Harbor. Without the assistance of a trained health expert and without adequate laboratory facilities for modern work of sanitation he car- ries a great responsibility in a manner which deserves praise. According to his published report there were in 1928 communicable diseases reported and recorded as follows: Chickenpox 69, measles 279, scarlet fever 10, poliomyelitis 1, pneumonia 1, mumps 1, tuber- culosis 1, whooping cough 17, typhoid fever, 4 with 1 death, influenza 57. Last year your committee suggested that negotiations be started with the Board of Select- men for the creation of health protection along SANITARY COMMITTEE 13 lines of accepted modern methods. These ne- gotiations are progressing favorably and it is hoped that they will lead to some definite action at the next Town Meeting. Very truly yours, DAVE H. MORRIS, Acting Chairman. Report of the Path Committee The work of removing fallen trees; making signs, arrows and pointers; rebuilding several bridges; and many cairns; bushing and mowing have kept the same two men, as employed in former years, busy most of the summer. The result of their work speaks for itself. De- struction of signs has not been SO common as in former years. The knocking down of cairns has now become the fashion which though not expensive take time to rebuild. Horseback riding on many of our paths and trails has in- creased. This is not only unsafe but unfair to pedestrians when SO many horse roads have been built for the special use of riders. Publicity might help stop this nuisance. Two important matters deserve attention: First, the Green Mt. Gorge Path from back of the Kebo Valley Club to the saddle between Green Mt. and Dry Mt., a distance of about two miles, is to be endowed through the generos- ity of some of the summer residents. The money will soon be in hand. For this help we are sincerely grateful. Secondly, a trail on the west side of Eagle Lake over Burnt Bubble, PATH COMMITTEE 15 long disused, will be reconstructed. It begins at the intersection of the Curran Trail and the Southwest Valley Road and ends at the begin- ning of the present trail over North Bubbles, a distance of about three-fourths of a mile. In the regular upkeep of the paths and trails not counting endowed trails the Path Com- mittee has raised $983.00. This added to the balance C. O. Sept. 1st, 1928 of $219.00 makes a total of receipts of $1202.00. Expended $743.- 76. Balance C. O. August 31st, 1929, $458.24. The services of Andrew Liscomb, Sup't. are invaluable and without him we could not car- ry on. The National Park authorities also are most helpful in every way. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD PEABODY, Chairman Path Committee. September 1st, 1929. Good Roads Committee Your Committee herewith submits its Annual Report, closing with the present V. I. A. Ses- sion, Sept. 5, 1929. Net result for the year: Cuttings and clearances too numerous to mention: extending principally from points this side of Schooner Head, practically down to the Radio Station to say nothing of similar cut- tings and clearances along the Bay View Drive, begun more than a year ago and finally finished this year. Also pledges of further clearance in the Atwater Kent land, this side of Schooner Head, in order to obtain a larger view of New- port cliffs; with likelihood of similar clearances opposite the entrance to Schooner Head. Lastly, the V. I. A. appropriated $25.00 for warning signs on Ocean Drive. Less than $7.00 of this sum covered the need. We also appro- priated $175.00 to cover clearance along the same Ocean Drive. Satisfactory work has been done, at cost of about $137.00. GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE 17 Practically the entire Ocean Drive has passed into other hands, thus absolving the V. I. A. from further responsibility. (We deeply ap- preciate Mrs. Morgenthau's gift of $150.00 for half the salary of John Stewart, Patrol Officer on the Ocean Drive.) ALSOP LEFFINGWELL, Chairman. Report of Park Committee During the past year much care has been given to the maintenance of the Woodbury, Glen Mary, and How Memorial Parks. All of these Parks were carefully cleared in the spring and much attention has been given to having the litter left by picknickers cleared up and the grounds kept in good order. The fine willow trees in Glen Mary Park were attacked by the blight last year. In the autumn specimens were submitted to Dr. Fauls of the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, who made a careful study of the disease and advised spraying the trees thoroughly with strong Bordeaux mixture four times; first, in the early spring before the leaves appeared and later at intervals after the growth of the leaves. Your Committee arranged with Mr. John H. Stal- ford to give the treatment advised by Dr. Fauls to these important willows at a cost of $200 for four treatments. Mr. Stalford has shown great interest and has sprayed these trees regularly once a week after the leaves appeared, and has given much more time and labor than was arranged for. His treatment PATH COMMITTEE 19 has apparently been successful, as the blight on those trees seems to have been conquered. Your Committee wishes to express their ap- preciation and thanks for the assistance Mr. Stalford has given and for his contribution of time and labor. The hollow in Glen Mary Park where there formerly a swimming pool was cleared and flooded last winter in order to make a good pond where there would be skating. This gave much enjoyment to the children of the neighborhood, and arrangements have been made to have the reeds cut this autumn and thoroughly cleared, and then the pond flooded SO that there will be an even better place for the children to skate next winter. We regret to be obliged to report that there has been a serious increase in the white pine blister, especially on the fine trees in Glen Mary Park on the hillside, and we have been obliged to cut a large number of branches again this year, and fear that the work of the men last year under Dr. Lambert's direction in destroying the wild currant and other shrubs on which this disease can be propagated, was not as thorough as it should have been. Your Committee is having all this land thoroughly gone over now, and any bushes found, de- 20 PATH COMMITTEE stroyed. Dr. Thorndike has arranged to have his adjoining land carefully inspected and the same work done there. Some blister was found on the trees in Woodbury Park, but not to a serious extent. At the How Memorial Park the cedar trees back of the monument were much injured by a motor being driven into them, and arrange- ments have been made for new planting and restoration there this autumn. There has been much more use of the Parks this season, and the new benches and seats in the Woodbury Park, which were given by kind friends last year, have been greatly appreci- ated. A few more rustic seats and chairs for that Park would be most welcome. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. SAMPSON, Chairman. Report of Conservation Committee The Commitee on Conservation of Mount Desert Island herewith present their final re- port. The purpose of the Committee has been to present to the permanent and summer resi- dents of Mount Desert a picture of the Island as through the cooperation of the several communities and of public spirited citizens it may be developed in the coming years, and to set before all lovers of Mount Desert an ideal to work for. Having received from twenty-two summer residents the sum of $1925, the Committee engaged Mr. Charles W. Eliot, Planner of the City of Washington, to make a survey and a report. Mr. Eliot undertook the duty with the condition that he should receive no pay- ment for his services. Hence the sum received has been used only for his expenses and the cost of publication. The Committee places on record their thanks to Mr. Eliot for his generous gift prompted by his love for the Island. One thousand copies of the report entitled "The Future of Mount 22 CONSERVATION COMMITTEE Desert Island" have been handsomely printed, with maps and illustrations, and distributed free to permanent and summer residents and libraries. The Committee present herewith their account of the use of the moneys which has been audited. The Committee expresses the hope that as needs and opportunities arise for the improve- ment and development of the Island according to the suggestions of the Report, general and local committees may be organized to carry them through. The Committee asks to be discharged. For the Committee, WILLIAM LAWRENCE, Chairman. CHARTER LAWS OF 1891. CHAPTER 186.
