Stimson, Chairman Miss Mary Coles Mr. T. L. Roberts FOREWORD The Village Improvement Association was formed some thirty-five years ago as a means of uniting interest and effort for saving the natural beauties of the region about Bar Harbor and for increasing its attractiveness. In any American community, plans for the public enjoyment or welfare may easily lie beyond the scope of the Selectmen's duties or of a town's legitimate budget. Accomplishment must then depend, at least in first in- stances, upon the interest and generosity of individuals, who perhaps become pioneers in activities which in time the civil authorities are able to take over. The Village Improvement Association has represented such a development. It had, for instance, a Sanitary Committee at a time when the public in general was not too keenly concerned about the need of safe-guarding its milk and food supplies. This Committee has given devoted service; but its duties have become merged in the town's Board of Health and are being discharged with scrupulous effectiveness. The Village Committee made itself responsible for the Village Green at a time when the plot of land might have been diverted from public use; and the V. I. A. main- tained it till the town authorities took it in hand and put it in its present pleasing condition. The Association has always exerted a strong influence for civic tidiness, attractive planting, good roads, care of the town's parks, coping with the fly and mosquito, re- straining the ugly sign-board. It takes care of the Shore 6 FOREWORD Path, which, as private property, cannot be an item in the town's budget. One of the unique pleasures of the island is offered by the miles of trails through one picturesque region after another, by secluded pond, through wooded valley or over mountain top. The Association cares for these trails-established for public use but maintained by private generosity. During this past summer, the attention of the Associa- tion has been called with renewed emphasis to the prob- lems being brought to bear by the automobilist and camp- er. Bar Harbor finds itself called upon to solve these problems in common with every community in the coun- try, and the Association experimented with a definite phase of the matter in making itself responsible for the protection of a strip of private property on the Ocean Drive where visitors were-doubtless unwittingly-doing much to spoil the beauty that attracted them and where there were a few occasions of defiance of the posted orders of the owners. These are instances of the Association's activity. As long, indeed, as imagination and initiative may lend an extra personal touch in the community, the Vil- lage Improvement Association can render helpful service. To do this, we appeal for the interest and co-operation of every person who has come to know and to love the island. FRANK B. ROWELL, Secretary.

Report of the Sanitary Committee for the Year Ending September 10, 1926 The old adage that, "Happy is the reign that has no history," is well borne out by the work of your Committee since the last annual meeting. The health of the town is as good as it was for the previous year when in our report we described it as the best we had had for a number of years. There have been no cases in the pest house and only two cases in the isolation hospital. With the exception in March of a widespread epidemic of influenza of a mild type, there have been no epidemics of any type. The record shows only one case of scarlet fever and only one of diphtheria. Under the new law there have been over 450 free vaccinations against small pox and it is believed that shortly the entire population will be immune against that disease. The water supply continues to be tested as usual, and shows the water to be clear and pure. The milk supply has been carefully watched and a few surprise specimens have been collected and tested. The Health Officer reports the 10 SANITARY COMMITTEE milk as of excellent quality and free from the danger of tuberculosis. The COWS from which the supply is brought to Bar Harbor are watched and tested for tuberculosis, and the high standard of the milk is well shown by winning several prizes in the contest at Port- land not long ago. Attention is called to the fact that there have been no typhoid cases but at the same time it is suggested that it might be advisable to watch camping privileges and not to permit children to play on the shore near the sewer openings. The work of this Committee has become that of advisory supervision, as the Health Officer has taken over officially all of the activities of the Committee which for many years were per- formed by its individual members pro bono publico. The town is heartily to be congratulated upon its excellent sanitary condition. Truly yours, DAVE H. MORRIS, Acting Chairman. Work of the Village Committee In May last, work was begun as usual in the old graveyard in Mount Desert Street and on the Shore Path. This is always necessary, as winter frosts heave up many of the headstones and winter seas damage the path and the sea- wall. The graveyard has been kept in thorough order and the six stone posts of its wall filled with ivy and geraniums. The committee has sometimes been asked why the shrubs and plants in the enclosure are not more closely trimmed, but it has been thought best to leave it looking more like what it was, a village burying-ground. On the Shore Path, the Committee has re- placed stones in the wall, securing them with cement, and has mended the path with clay; for the high tides annually sweep off the sur- facing. No one who does not live on the sea front can appreciate how much work and how much time must go to keeping the charming Shore Path tidy. Picnic parties leave behind them paste- board boxes, banana skins, caramel papers, 12 VILLAGE COMMITTEE cigarette box lids, tinfoil, half eaten fruit, and other messes. Readers of newspapers toss them open on the rocks, and letters are scat- tered in small pieces, which, like peanut shells, must be picked up separately. The Committee provides barrels along the path with signs in- viting their use, but this invitation is oftener disregarded than accepted. The path is gone over every day from the steamer dock to Mr. McLean's place, and the paths leading to it from the village are also kept in order. Mr. E. E. Scammon, who has done faithful and intelligent work for the Committee during the past six years, has been employed again. The result of his labor and watchfulness may not show for much but it would be conspicuous by its absence; and the Committee believe that such work is an important contribution toward the attractiveness of the Shore Path and of the Village. MARY CADWALADER JONES, Acting Chairman. Report of the Path Committee To the President and Members of the V. I. A: Work for the season of 1926 began on May 10th nearly a month later than last year. On account of this and because the paths and trails were in bad condition, from a very late spring, two men have been employed the entire sum- mer. There have been 173 working days de- voted to clearing brush; repairing 5 bridges; mowing; removing 169 fallen trees; replacing stepping stones washed away; putting up 40 pointers and 50 cairns; making and putting up 50 signs; renewing 28 stone steps; painting iron rails and ladders on the Precipice trails up Newport Mountain and Beehive; repainting the colored marks on the Black trail, White trail, Orange and Black trail and the Red and White trail on Newport Mountain; building a rustic bridge over the outlet on the north end of Lake Wood; and repairing the Bridgham trail on Newport Mountain. I am glad to report that fewer signs were stolen or destroyed this year than last. More new signs have been put up at important intersections of trails. THE GURNEE PATH. The Gurnee Path be- 14 PATH COMMITTEE gun on August 31st last year was built as far as Canoe Point during the autumn. The views of the Bay and the Gouldsboro hills beyond are very beautiful and the path has proved enjoy- able to many people. The funds to continue this Path towards Hull's Cove for nearly a third of a mile have already been given and work will be started very soon. THE A. MURRAY YOUNG PATH. As was ex- pected this new path had to undergo many re- pairs after the winter. These have been done and the path is now in good condition. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Young for a beautiful memorial tablet which has been placed on a large boulder near the Southern beginning of the path. We are also indebted to Mrs. Young for her generous gift of $1000. The same is to be invested and the income only used for the an- nual maintenance of the Path in good CO ndi- tion. THE BEACHCROFT PATH. Of late years the Beachcroft Path up Picket Mountain has not been under our control. Last summer this path was in such bad condition that it had to be almost entirely rebuilt. It has now been re- turned to the V. I. A. "in perpetuo" and Mrs. Morton Smith the original donor of the path has generously given $500, which is to be in- PATH COMMITTEE 15 vested and the income only used for the annual upkeep of the Path. We sincerely hope that from now on it will be kept in good condition. FINANCES. During the past year $780.00 has been contributed for the maintenance of the paths and trails. This amount added to the balance of $514.73 carried over from last year gave the Path Committtee working capi- tal of $1294.73. Disbursements have amount- ed to $568.99, leaving a balance on Septem- ber 6th of $755.74. Our expenses were smaller than last year due to the following reasons: No work was done on the existing Paths and Trails after September 1st, 1925 due the con- struction of the Gurnee Path; and because work began later this year than last. The balance carried over to next year is large but as the Paths and Trails must be kept in condition and as financial conditions may change at any time a fund is always useful to have on hand for any emergency. The Path Committee wishes again to thank the National Park authorities for their cooper- ation. Also Andrew Liscomb, Sup't. for his continued help and advice. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD PEABODY, Chairman. Report of Committee on Parks Woodbury, or Howe, Park has been kept in the same condition as in the past few years: part of the grass has been cut, the paths tidied up, and the bushes trimmed where they had overgrown the path. The condition of Glen Mary Park has im- proved a little; the main pathway from the gateway to the corner of Waldron Road and Spring Street has been badly washed and the whole surfacing destroyed; and much time has been consumed in restoring it to a fair con- dition. The grass was cut on the roadside along Glen Mary Road and Waldron Road. The children's drinking fountain was broken and destroyed, and has not been replaced. The skating pond was very little used last winter. As to the future, there are many things to be done and most of them are urgent. The ornamented gateway needs to have the roof shingled; a new pathway should be built from the Spring Street corner of Norris Street to Glen Mary Road near Waldron Road. The Shannon Spring should be rebuilt in order to be protected from the pollution of surface water, PARKS COMMITTEE 17 with a new drain to carry off the overflow from the spring, which helps now to provide breeding places for the mosquito. The bed of the skat- ing pond should be cleared of vegetation and partly filled with beach gravel, for the same reason. The trees need attention again as several dead ones need to be removed and over- crowding should be relieved by cutting down. Bushes again need to be moved. New settees are needed. The work for caring for both parks was done by Mr. John H. Stalford for a hundred dollars a year; but much more work is needed for an- other year. AUGUSTUS THORNDIKE, for the Committee. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST The Beachcroft Path, given several years ago by Mrs. C. Morton Smith, as a memorial to her husband, was in the early summer restored at the expense of the donor, who gave to the As- sociation an additional fund for its continuous upkeep. The following resolutions with reference to this gift were unanimously passed: The Village Improvement Association herwith extends to Mrs. C. Morton Smith a vote of thanks and of warm appreciation for her generosity in restoring the Beach- croft Path to such excellent condition; and it agrees to assume the care of this path in perpetuo. It is voted that the grateful thanks of the Village Im- provement Association be extended to Mrs. C. Morton Smith for her generous gift of Five hundred dollars. It is understood that the same shall be invested and only the income used each year to keep in good repair the Beachcroft Path up Picket and that all unexpended balance of income shall be kept each year and carried over to the next year. In addition to her gift, in 1924, of the A. Murray Young Path, Mrs. Young has given to the Association a fund for its maintenance. The following resolution was unanimously passed in regard to this gift: OF PARTICULAR INTEREST 19 It is voted that the grateful thanks of the Village Improvement Association be, and hereby is, extended to Mrs. A. Murray Young for her generous gift of One thousand dollars. It is understood that the same shall be invested and only the income used each year to keep in good repair the A. Murray Young Path up the South Gorge between Green and Dry Mountains, starting at the Canon Brook Path; and that all unexpended balance of income shall be kept each year and carried over to the next year. IN MEMORIAM The Village Improvement Association, hav- ing been informed of the death of Mrs. John Innes Kane on July 23d, places this memorial upon its records: Mr. and Mrs. Kane became summer residents of Bar Harbor about the beginning of this century. Mrs. Kane immediately accepted membership in this Associa- tion. Since 1916, she has been Chairman of the Village Committee and has thereby been active and efficient in improving the appearance of the village and caring for the graveyard and the Shore Path. Soon after the death of her husband, she gave in 1915 the Kane Memorial Path in the Gorge, along Little Meadows under Dry Mountain, over which she walked constantly with interest and pleasure. She always contributed generously towards the work which this Association had in hand; and by her charm and personal influence did much to commend its objects to the interest of other residents. IN MEMORIAM The Village Improvement Association has heard with sincere regret of the death of Augustus C. Gurnee, whose name is among the earliest identified with the summer colony of Bar Harbor, his home, Beau Desert, having been built in 1882. Though the last five years of Mr. Gurnee's life were spent in France, he always thought and spoke of Bar Harbor with deep and wistful affection and showed a IN MEMORIAM 21 never-failing interest in its welfare. He was a constant and generous contributor to this Association. Among its members are many of his oldest friends, who, feeling his death keenly, desire to express to his family their sorrow and sympathy. CHARTER LAWS OF 1891.
