Hinkle Mrs. Cadwalader Jones COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY Miss Charlotte S. Baker, Chairman Mrs. Frederick J. Stimson 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. These have been charac- teristic activities. It takes care of the Shore Path, which, 6 FOREWORD 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. 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. Latest Report of Sanitary Committee This report is much shorter than usual, not because there has been less work done by the Committee, but because the sanitary conditions have been the best for a number of years. The water supply has been tested each month for the past year and every examination has been perfectly satisfactory and shows the best possible public water supply. The milk supply has received the same con- stant attention as in former years. The COWS supplying the Bar Harbor market have been tested for tuberculosis annually for the past four years, and the Committee feels positive that there is no danger of tuberculosis from our milk supply. The milk is tested numerous times during the year; and the tests this year show the gradual improvement which has been very evident for the past five years. There is no doubt in the mind of the Health Officer that the milk supply of Bar Harbor is equal to, if not superior to, any produced in Maine. The work of the Health Officer has been greatly increased this year by a new law passed by the State Legislature requiring that all 8 VILLAGE COMMITTEE persons handling food or drink sold to the public must have a medical examination every six months to ascertain if they have any form of communicable disease. This work has been carried out and reports from physicians of all food handlers are on file in the office of the Health Officer. All the shops, restaurants, stores, hotels, etc., which furnish food to the public have also been thoroughly investigated by the Health Officer and the record of every place of business in the Town of Bar Harbor which handles food or drink is on file at the Health Department Office. ROBERT ABBE, Chairman. WYMAN P. WADLEIGH. Sept. 11, 1924. Work of 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, 10 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. Early in the season, it was found that gar- bage was being dumped into Cromwell's Har- bor brook at the bridge over the road to Straw- berry Hill, and further up the stream. With the cordial co-operation of Mr. Clarence Dow, of the Mount Desert Nurseries, and of Dr. Sherman Cleaves, representing the Board of Health, several truck loads of rubbish were re- moved and signs provided by a member of the Committee were set up warning against fur- ther offences. 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 VILLAGE COMMITTEE 11 such work is an important contribution toward the attractiveness of the Shore Path and of the Village. MARY CADWALADER JONES, Acting Chairman. Work of the Committee on Roads and Paths This report is divided into four parts: (1) Upkeep of old Paths and Trails (2) Construction begun and completed in 1924-1925 (3) Future Plans (4) Financial UPKEEP OF OLD PATHS AND TRAILS. The winter was not severe and the paths and trails were therefore found not badly damaged when work was started on April thirteenth. Except for a second man for seventeen days in May, we have employed only one man on full time throughout the autumn, spring and sum- mer. He has done his work faithfully and well, as I think all will agree who have used the paths and trails this past season. There have been 156 working days devoted to clearing brush, repairing bridges, mowing, removing sixty-five fallen trees, putting in 267 stepping- stones largely on the Duck Brook trail and the Fawn Pond trail from Breakneck Road along PARKS COMMITTEE 13 the brook to the west of Breakneck Road- which were badly washed out after the great storm of August 26, 1924-putting up twelve pointers, twenty-four cairns and ninety-two new signs, and improving the trail around Lake Wood by building steps and bridges. I call your attention to the number of new signs put up this year. At least two-thirds of these were put up in places where there had never been any, while the remainder replaced old signs which had been torn down. Each year, of late, more signs have been destroyed; and this year has been the worst that the super- intendent has ever known for this form of van- dalism. Fifty of the above signs were put up on the paths and trails around Newport Mountain. NEW CONSTRUCTION BEGUN AND COMPLETED IN 1924-1925. A short trail was constructed from the inter- section of the Bridgham Trail and the Red-and- White Trail to the Blue-and-White Trail. This has meant a most useful addition to the paths and trails of the Newport Mountain sec- tion, giving a much needed short cut from the Bowl to the White Path. 14 ROADS COMMITTEE The most important new construction has been the continuation of the Gorge Trail south for over a mile between Green and Dry Mount- ains to join the Canon Brook Trail. The funds for this were generously contributed by Mrs. A. Murray Young and the path was built during the autumn of 1924 as a memorial to her hus- band. We are deeply grateful for this very necessary addition to the system of paths and trails in the Bar Harbor District. This trail has been a source of much pleasure and inspiration to many persons during the past summer. FUTURE PLANS. On August 31st, the long discussed path through the woods over the cliffs by Canoe Point, above the road to Hull's Cove, was started. The funds have been generously con- tributed by the Gurnee family. This path will be one of the most useful and beautiful in the Bar Harbor District and will be known as the Gurnee Path. Many sections of the North Ridge Trail up Green Mountain and of the Curran Trail along the west shore of Eagle Lake will need to be changed this year on account of road construc- tion. PATH COMMITTEE 15 FINANCIAL. During the past year, $870.00 have been contributed for the support and maintenance of the work. This amount added to the balance of $495.85 carried over from last year has given the Path Committee working capital of $1,- 365.85. Disbursements have amounted to $851.12, leaving a balance on hand Sept. 1st of $514.73. These items of receipts and expen- ses do not include money received and ex- pended for the Young and Gurnee Paths. New signs and changing location of trails add to the regular expense of upkeep. It would be an excellent thing if we might, little by little, ac- cumulate a sum of money which could be drawn upon to keep these paths and trails- which it has cost much money and labor to make-up to a proper standard. Thanks are due to the National Park authorities for their co-operation. I wish also especially to thank Mr. Andrew Liscomb, Superintendent, for his help and advice.
