10 <br /> The Volunteer Fire Fighters who have been trained so well <br /> under Chief Peters can easily be classified as one of the best <br /> crews in its category. <br /> Special thanks are extended to Colonel Bernard Gor. <br /> finkle for his conscientious effort in promoting a fund <br /> raising campaign for rescue equipment. Colonel Gorfinkle <br /> sparked the drive by donating a station wagon; to date, <br /> the equipment, under the jurisdiction of the fire department, <br /> consists of fully equipped rescue truck, a boat with motor, <br /> rigged for rescue work on the water and various other items <br /> such as wire cutter, blankets, lanterns, etc. <br /> Through the efforts of the board and our Town Counsel, <br /> Mr. Edwin S. Mycock, the town has recently been allocated <br /> $40,000.00 State aid for the construction of a portion of <br /> Monomoscoy Road to commence at the beginning of, and <br /> extending across the Marsh. Mr. Mycock has worked closely <br /> with the board and we feel fortunate in having him as our <br /> legal aid. <br /> The town finances are in good standing, the tax rate in- <br /> viting, and the valuation of the town has increased per <br /> ceptibly. The year around population of 524 does not indi <br /> tate a tremendous increase over the past five years, however, <br /> the seasonal population continues to grow steadily. <br /> The board is pleased to express appreciation for the co- <br /> operation of the citizens and departments of the town which <br /> are so essential in the function of a fast growing community. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> LEROY M. AIKEN, Chairman <br /> FRANK E. HICKS <br /> CLARA L. PETERS <br /> Selectmen of Mashpee <br /> i1 ' <br />
