8 Report of Selectmen The Board of Selectmen submit the following report to the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee for the year ending December 31, 1964: 1964 has been quite eventful and a very busy one for the Selectmen. The Town is growing rapidly and its growth has been wholesome and beneficial. The population is still on the increase and many fine people are coming to the Town to live, permanently, as well as the many who are attracted by our natural resources— the seashore—and fine summer weather. We were successful in having the State install street lights at the Mashpee Rotary Circle, making it safer for moving traffic as well as adding to its attractiveness. Through the efforts of a few dedicated citizens, and gen- erous contributions of the businessmen of the area as well as others, the circle was a -glow with Christmas cheer from the beautiful lights shimmering among the trees; and Christ- mas carols, sung in the crisp wintry air, gave us all a happy feeling of Christmas. The deed for the South Cape Beach property of 19.6 acres, which was a gift by the Field's Point Manufacturing Com- pany, was duly recorded. The parking area, while not com- pletely finished, is usable. Legal entrance was made and recorded on Great Oak Road. Many appointments were made and committees formed to take care of the ever-increasing business and needs of the Town. There is, however, a great need for dedicated, capable men and woman to apply for openings on the various com- mittees and to fill important positions in Town departments, Chapter 81 and 90 highway projects are progressing as rapidly as conditions will permit. A section of Route 151 was oiled and stoned. The Highway Department is to be com- mended on its care and maintenance of the Town roads. Orchard Road was re -surfaced under Chapter 822—Acts of 1963.
