29 <br /> Report of the Civil Defense Director <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> I hereby submit my report for the year ending Decem- <br /> ber 31, 1954. <br /> I would like the citizens of the Town.to know that during <br /> Hurricane Carol and Edna the Civil Defense personnel, the <br /> Police, Highway and Fire Departments showed a splendid <br /> 1 example of what can be done in any emergency. There was <br /> no loss of life and very few injuries were reported. The power <br /> failure during the storms left the town without sufficient <br /> i drinking water for approximately one week. The Fire Depart- <br /> ment supplied water where possible by the means of a small <br /> generator. It has been suggested ,that the Civil Defense <br /> De-partment be provided with a generator large enough to operate <br /> the water pump and lights at either the Town Hall or the <br /> Samuel Davis School for such an emergency. <br /> I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen <br /> and all Departments mentioned in my report, also to the <br /> Mashpee American Legion Auxiliary members for their as- <br /> i <br /> sistance in both disasters. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ELLSWORTH PETERS <br /> Civil Defense Director <br />
