Lynam Mr. Parker Corning Mr. Charles W. Pike Mr. Dave Hennen Morris On March seventh, 1928, before this report was ready for the press, a great loss had come to us all in the death of DR. ROBERT ABBE Dr. Abbe, through his distinction as a great physician, belonged to the larger world in which he rendered his help to humanity; but in a special, intimate sense he made us individually aware that he belonged to us here in Bar Harbor, since to every cause and to every person in the community he gave a genuine, sympathetic, never-failing interest. He was identified with the Village Improvement As- sociation from its earliest days and was for many years its vice president. He was responsible for the formation of the Sanitary Committee and was till within a few years the active head of it and always a moving spirit in it. The eagerness of his interest in the Association was shown last September when, on one of the few times that he was able to leave his house, he delighted us by appear- ing at the annual meeting. We are indeed conscious of his personal touch on all sides; not only in the Village Improvement Association, but in houses that possess the relief maps of the island that he so carefully worked out, at "Brookend" with its lovely surroundings of his creating, at the Bar Harbor Hospital, and at the Sieur de Monts Spring, in the museum just erected to keep intact his collection of implements of the Stone Age. Best of all, he will long abide in the affection of everybody whose life he touched -as a lover of nature, a man of artistic sensitiveness, a scientist, a surgeon, a gentleman of ditsinguished attain- ments, and a rarely lovable friend. FRANK B. ROWELL, Secretary. FOREWORD Former reports have explained that the Village Im- provement Association was organized some thirty-seven years ago by a group of distinguished and public-spirited people in order to consider problems of interest to the whole community of Bar Harbor but separate from the usual responsibilities to which the Town's governing board could give itself. During the past few years, Bar Harbor has been faced by the need confronting every other town in the coun- try, that of adjusting itself to the new conditions created by the coming of large numbers of people who are seeing the world from an automobile. While offering these visitors as generous a hospitality as we may, we are obliged to give heed to such considerations as the sanita- tion of tourists' quarters, of the safeguarding of private property, of enjoyment without abuse of the natural charms of hill and shore. For two summers the Town and the Village Improve- ment Association have shared the expense of policing a strip of land on the Ocean Drive which happens to be privately owned but which is of supreme attraction to a public from miles around. The Association, many of whose members have from the first had an intimate and active interest in the de- velopment of the reservation of land for public benefit, have authorized, this last summer, calling in consulta- tion Mr. Charles W. Eliot III, landscape architect, for a survey of both the National Park and the island and for recommendations as to a future policy of development. FOREWORD 7 The work on Roads and Paths and in the village is as important as ever and contributes greatly to our sum- mer pleasures. As it is carried on by private initiative for the benefit of all who come to Bar Harbor, the Asso- ciation welcomes such help as it may get from friends sympathetic with its purposes. FRANK B.

TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Report of the Finance Committee During the year just past the Finance Com- mittee decided it advisable to place all funds in securities designated for Savings Banks and Trust Fund Investments. This has been done and the list of securities attached show the investments now held by the Village Improvement Association. These investments return slightly over 5%, which is as high a yield as can be obtained with safety of principal. Respectfully submitted, C. P. BARNETT, Chairman. September 1, 1927. Report of the Village Committee for the Year Ending September First, 1927 On May first the usual Spring work was be- gun by E. E. Scammon, who has been employed by this Committee for the last eight years. Winter storms always make some breaches in the sea wall of the Shore Path, and while most of the property owners make their own repairs, the long stretch between the steamer dock and the Town Lot belongs to the Maine Central Railway, and in order to avoid possible tedious delays the Village Committee takes charge of that part. The path was also resurfaced where the gravel had been washed away. Every morning Scammon makes the rounds of the barrels set out by the V. I. A. in the vil- lage, the Town Lot, and on the Shore Path, and when they have been emptied of their very miscellaneous contents he goes on to "clean up" on the shore, and in the paths which lead to it, between the Minot and Weld cottages and those of Mrs. Farrand and Mr. Jay. On a Monday morning, after an excursion, or a visit of naval vessels, the Shore Path is usually a sorry sight. Loose sheets of newspapers, VILLAGE COMMITTEE 13 chocolate and chewing gum wrappers, banana skins, greasy paper bags and empty cigarette boxes are scattered broadcast; letters are torn into small pieces and tossed away, while peanut shells are underfoot everywhere. These bits of paper, by the way, and the shells, lie SO close to the ground that they must each be picked up separately, which takes much time every day. It has often been asked why the V. I. A. as- sumes the responsibility for what appears to be the graveyard of the Episcopal Church. The reason is that years ago there was a Union Building, for Baptist, Congregational and Methodist services where the Episcopal Church now stands, and the graveyard gradually filled up around it. As the Village grew each de- nomination had a church of its own, families died out or moved away, and on the principle that what is everybody's business is nobody's, the old Union graveyard was neglected, and when this Committee took charge of it, now many years ago, the tombstones had been forced up by the frost until they leaned at all angles, and the few surviving plants were strug- gling among the weeds. Now the stones are straightened in Spring when necessary, the shrubs trimmed, the stone gate posts kept filled with plants, and the grass in the enclosure neat- 14 VILLAGE COMMITTEE ly mown, a tedious job on account of the many stones. The village is much more tidy than it was formerly, especially in the upper part of West Street, in Mount Desert Street, and in the side streets leading from it to Cottage Street, but the Village Committee would be very glad if it might be allowed to employ two men dur- ing the summer months, as it did for some years. There is always more or less litter along Main Street, lower West Street, and in the streets leading to the shore, such as Hancock Street and Wayman Lane; the thoroughfare known as the Field needs more attention, and the Town Lot is very badly looked after by the village authorities, although the Village Green does them great credit. Scammon does all that can be done by one man, but if there were two on the job the general appearance of the village would be much improved. MARY CADWALADER JONES, Chairman. Report of the Sanitary Committee I beg to make my annual report of the health and sanitary conditions prevailing in Bar Har- bor during the past year: There have been no epidemics of any kind and comparatively few cases of any contagious disease; there have been only two cases of diphtheria and there was a mild type of influ- enza which did not yield until the warm weather came. The sanitary conditions of the town are ex- cellent. Physicians' certificates are required from all those who handle food. The milk in- spection by the State Inspector and surprise examinations made showed the supply to be in a very satisfactory condition. Tuberculosis among the cattle has been practically elimin- ated and no cattle may now be brought on Mt. Desert Island unless they are examined and pass the test showing that they are free from disease. The new camp site back of Morrell Park was not completed for this summer's use, but it is expected that next year everything there will 16 SANITARY COMMITTEE be ready for campers, who will then no longer be permitted to use the Athletic Park. The Committee believes the sanitary condi- tions in Bar Harbor to be excellent and thinks Bar Harbor fortunate in having, in addition, a climate SO free from infections and especially safe for invalids and small children. DAVE H. MORRIS, Chairman. August 31, 1927. Report of Paths and Trails Committee During the past year the usual work on the paths and trails has been done as follows: Repairing and building seven bridges; re- moving sixty-nine fallen trees; putting up eleven pointers and "one hundred and three cairns; making and putting up one hundred and eleven signs, and mowing. Two men have been employed the entire season since work started April 21st. The Gurnee Path was finished last December and has now become a most necessary part of the system of paths and trails in the Bar Har- bor district. The Curran Path along the west shore of Eagle Lake will be rebuilt this autumn and should be finished by next spring. The North Ridge trail on Green Mountain has been, and still is, a problem on account of the construc- tion of the motor road to the summit of Green Mountain, which will cross the trail six times. We have spent on the paths and trails this year $1,251.14 in addition to what was spent on endowed memorial trails. This has been by 18 PATH COMMITTEE far the most expensive year we have had. The above figure is somewhat misleading, as it in- cludes payment to the superintendent of $125 twice in the year. One of these payments should have been made to him in 1926, but he forgot to send his bill, SO the actual amount expended was $1,126.15. Another item which will not appear again is $96.80 for Workman's Liability Insurance on the Gurnee Path. We also raised our workmen's wages to $4.00 a day instead of the usual $3.50 a. day. These are some of the reasons why the item of expense is SO much larger than usual. Contributions to our Committee have a- mounted to $840. This amount added to the balance of $725.74 carried over from last year gave us $1,565.74 of working capital. Thus there is a balance carried over to next year of $314.60. The Path Committee wishes again to thank the National Park authorities for their cooper- ation. Also Andrew Liscomb, superintendent, for his continued help and advice. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD PEABODY, Chairman. September 2, 1927. Report of Roadside Committee Your committee has investigated to some extent the question of roadside cutting in order to enlarge the views from different highways. Thus far the only definite arrangement that has been made is on the Bay Drive where per- mission has been secured to complete the cut- ting already begun by private individuals. This will be done probably in October, the Association having already appropriated $100. for the purpose. F. C. LYNAM, Chairman. Committee on Parks The committee's attention during the sum- mer has been centered upon Glen Mary Park, which has been much improved through the generosity of Mr. Charles E. Sampson. Dead trees have been taken away, and the park made generally more tidy. The summer house has been reshingled and otherwise repaired, and new seats have been put in the park. These changes have been much appreciated by the people who use the park. Verbal report from ALBION F. SHERMAN. CHARTER LAWS OF 1891.
