To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Brunswick
Following is a report of the activities of your municipal government
for the year ending December 31, 1961. This was the 224th year of incorporation as a town. Also included is the report of the Brunswick Sewer
District.
The Year 1961 will be remembered for the move to a new municipal
building, additions voted for the high school, major highway construction, and a 'welcome increase in the construction of commercial and industrial properties. The school and municipal building projects necessitated an increase in the long-term debt of $593,000, but the operation of
Your government was carried ahead with no increase in the tax rate over
the previous year.
Expenditures for departmental operations exceeded budgeted funds
by S9,99-1.00. Actual revenues exceeded estimated revenues by $3,454.83.
however, reducing the net loss for the year to $6,539.17. The Unappro
priated Surplus fund stood at $52,630.08 at the end of the year, having
contributed S34,900 to supplement the 1961 tax assessment.
The resignation of Town Manager Thomas M. Libby midway in
the year after six years of service was accepted with regrets by the
Board of Selectmen.
The municipal officers and the several boards and committees have
all contributed a great deal of time and effort in advancing the fortunes
of this community. The cooperation of all groups, and of the municipal
employees, has done much to make my first year in Brunswick a pleasant
one.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN P. BIBBER

New Municipal Building
For a number of years recommendations concerning the need for a
new municipal building had stimulated active public discussion and had
become a much debated topic. On November 30. 1959, the controversN
was settled when town meeting voted (389 to 2241 in favor of sellin44
the old town building. Authorization was given for the purchase of two
lots of land on Federal Street as the site for the new building.
A building committee to serve with the Board of Selectmen was
appointed by the Moderator as authorized by town meeting vote. The
committee retained Walsh Engineers Inc. of South Portland as the architect. Construction proposals were opened June 3, 1960, and the contract awarded to Wiley Construction Co. of Scarborough, the low bidder
out of eight bids received. Municipal operations were transferred to the
new building on February 4, 1961.
The former town building was purchased by a developer for
$110,000. The old building was razed to make room for a modern department store facility which will be a valuable asset to Brunswick's
tax base. Financial statistics relating to the construction of the new
building follow:

Tax Assessment and Collection
-The cost of operating the municipal government is largely financed
bur receipts 01 the local propertv. tax. The assessors were able to deterover the previous
mine an increase in the value of taxable property of
year. This in part enabled the Town to maintain the tax rate at the
same level as in 190), 13.0) mills. Assessed valuations in Brunswick
averaged about 75(',, of actual value as represented by sales.
The assessing function is administered by the five man Board of
Selectmen, who also at as Assessors, and a full-time Assessing Officer.
Mr. Eugene Duquesnoy, the Assessing Officer, this year earned the coveted
designation of C.A.E. (Certified Assessor Evaluator) issued by the International Association of Assessing Officers. The applicant for this award
is required to pass a series of rigid tests.

Public Works In Brunswick
1961 was a year of intense construction activity throughout the Town
of Brunswick. A multi-million dollar State Highway project beginning
in the downtown district, paving of Maine St., construction on Progress
Rd., Baribeau Drive, Columbia St., AlcKeen St., Center St. and major
storm drain work on South► Stanwood St. made street coast uction
major part of this :It tiv ity. The public works department was pushed
to the limit building its shame of these projects while still tryin g to keep
abreast of the req uired routine maintenance work.
GENEFLXI. MAINTENANCE
AS p;111. of the maintenance program 71,-149 gals. of tar and asphalt
%yule applied to Brunswick's street system, as compared with 67,-157 gals.
in 1960. The importance of properly maintaining the existing street
system should not be minimized. To fall behind on the mulch and seal
coat grog-ram will allow the typical surface treated bituminous street to
dry out and crack. This will allow water to penetrate causing a weakening of the base, severe frost heaving in winter and a longer period of
unstable base in the spring. The result will be accelerated breakup.
This will be particularly. true in the many streets and roads that were
not properly based or drained to begin with. The routine maintenance
of such streets is expensive. The lack of it is more expensive.
There is one hope of eventually lowering high street maintenance
costs and it is a twofold program. One, properly construct all new
streets with adeq uate drainag e and base. Two, reconstruct properly each
Year a small number of existing streets that req uire heavy maintenance.
"1-he only way to keep the maintenance budget from g rowing is to spend
some money each year on building good streets. This is the policy under
which the public works department has operated for the past few years:
favorable results have already started to show.

MAINE STREET PAVING
A major down-town improvement resulted from the paving 01 Maine
St. from Mason St. to the railroad tracks. 3,292 tons of bituminous concrete were placed by Frank Rossi Fs: Sons, Inc. General Contra( ton s from
Gardiner, Maine. Total cost of Rossi's work was S28,267.09. Of this
total amount, S7,859.75 was paid by the Town of Brunswic k, and the
remainder was paid by the State Highway Commission. Town crews
were busy for weeks before the paving operation was started, adjusting
catch basins and manholes, installing 871 feet of granite curbing along
the Mall. and excavating for new traffic islands.
MAJOR STREET CONSTRUCTION
BARIREAU DRIVE is a new street accepted by the Town at the regular
town meeting of March 1961. This proposed major street %%ill be nearly
one mile long and will run from McKeen St. past the Regional Memorial
Hospital to Pleasant Hill Rd. As the first step in construction, an 1.800
foot section of 30 foot wide gravel road has been built from Pleasant Hill
Road to MacMillan Drive. No further work is contemplated on this
gravel section until utilities such as sewer and water are installed. Alter
their installation, more gravel will be added and a bituminous surface will
be applied.
Similar stage construction is planned for the remaining distance
through to NIcKeen St., but no date for the work has been set. It is planned. however, to complete the clearing through to McKeen St. in 1962.
CENTER STREE1 was completelY reconstructed by town forces in the
late summer months. Although design utilized the full right-of-was
width. this was only 25 feet along much of the street. A single 6 ft. wide
sidewalk was constructed, rather than two narrow ones, so that the walk
could be plowed in winter. The remaining area, minus curb widths,
was left for a 17 foot wide street. Construction details included installation of underground storm drainage, granite curbing, and bituminous
concrete surface.

low bidder, 1.ec Bros., general «mutat tors, of Albion, Maine. Work was
not tompleted in 11161 but is expected to be finished in the early summer
of 1962.

streets were all widened and built to high type construction standards
with sidewalks, granite curb and bituminous concrete surface.
1- OWN ROAD INIPROVENIENT FUND
A beginning was made on the reconstruction of a one mile section
of Highland Road, long considered one of the poorest sections of bituminous road in the town. Engineering plans were completed on this
section extending northerly from the Pleasant Hill Road. Much of the
construction will be on new right-of-way which was a«-epted at the
Special Town Meeting of October 16. 1961 with no awards made for
damages. It was hoped that a sutstantial amount of work could he completed before the end of the 1961 season. However, other commitments
Page' I hi rt
and poor weather late in the year prevented a sizeable operation. With
an estimated $15,000 available in Town Road Improvement monies from
the State. the 1962 work program includes considerable work on this
project.
STORM DRAINAGE
The largest single project completed in 1961 by the Public Work,
department was a storm drainage trunk line system installed on South
Stanwood Street. The line was constructed from Mere Brook to Columbia Street using 1191 feet of 27 inch diameter reinforced cant rete
pipe to depths of about seven feet.
A quick-sand problem posed by sandy. conditions coupled with a
ground water table only two and one-half feet below die ground surface
was solved by the use of a well-point dewatering system. The suc cessful use of this system allowed completion at the project with a minimum
amount of difficulty. and with greatly improved safety to the workers.
This drainage line was constructed at this time for a number of
reasons. First, to service the South Stanwood Street area in front of
Coffin School and at Columbia Street where flooding occurred during
heavy rains and spring run-off. This flooding of the street and school
walks was of particular concern since many children had to walk
through the water on the way to school. Secondly, the installation of
the line was immediately necessary to provide an outlet to a storm
drainage line on Columbia Street that was constructed with Navy Funds.
Although no town funds were used on Columbia Street. the line will be
of lasting benefit to the town, providing drainage into a wet section of
town that is a fast developing residential area. Thirdly.. the installation of this new drainage trunk line will permit the installation of lines
further along and off from South Stanwood Street as this area continues
to develop.
NEW BUILDINGS
The public works department has been short of space for the storage
of equipment and supplies for the past few years. This shortage was
greatly aggravated when the State Highway Commission, during its construction of new Route #1. acquired and demolished a number of old
buildings being used for storage purposes. The buildings were too old
and poorly constructed to be moved for reuse; however damages received
from the State aided in financing the construction of a new storage
hudding and a new salt shed.
1 he storage building was built by Henry E. Bernier of Pleasant
l'o'ige 01111 i Cr?)
Street, Brunswit k whose bid was the lowest of the eight bids submitted.
Bid price, iniproy ements in design made during construction, plus extras brought the total construction cost up to 515,591. The 26 foot x
110 foot building was constructed of concrete blocks to match the main
garage building.
The new salt shed, designed and constructed by department personnel, is a real improvement over the old shed and has proved itself to
be most satisfactory. Designed so that trucks can dump their loads of
salt through doors in the roof, it is not necessary to rekindle and pile
salt inside the building. With a capacity of from 200 to 250 tons, it is
large enough to hold .111 the salt the town would wish to store.

Planning Board
The Planning Board was particularly concerned during 1961 with
the development of the comprehensive cominunih plan with particular
emphasis on industrial sites. the health of the downtown business area.
and zoning requirements. Atwood, Blackwell and Young, planning
consultants, had previouslv been retained by the Boat d under the
Federal -701- planning assistance program. and this In in (ontinued to
work on completion of the communitY master plan. I he final report is
anticipated early in 1962.
This Board is one of the most active in town gmernment, having
met a total of 23 times during the Near. Its members contribute man\
hours of their time for the benefit of the town. in spite of the fact that
at times planning can be a very controversial topic.
The Board, in cooperation with the professional consultants. developed a new zoning ordinance to meet the changing needs of the
s,
communit■ . This ordinance, and an ordinance itgulating house ti
was submitted to the voters at a special i(Avn meeting on Octobei
1961. The trailer ordinance was passed but the zoning- ordinance was
rotes. It is anucipated that the
defeated In the small margin of
zoning ordinance with some amendments 1611 again by submitted to the
voters in 1962.
Much Planning Board time was spent attempting to analyze the
needs of the downtown business district. The need for improved trafth
circulation, much inure olt-street parking, a more attractive and mole
«impact arrangement of stores was presented In the Board to a public
ineet,ng attended by many businessmen. II downtown is not made more
attractive and inure vigorous, it is feared that a large shopping center
will be constructed on the outskirts of town and sap the ■ italit■ of the
central business district. Proposals and cost estimates will be available
in 1962.
The Planning Board and the Industrial Development Committee of
the Chamber 01 Commerce cooperated in developing plans for opening
a prime industrial area in the Harding section. Several meetings were
held with State Highway Commission representatives to make possible
certain highway connections with the new Route #1 construction in this
section. Favorable action will make possible what has been called the
best industrial park site in southern Maine.
Other matters which concerned the Board included recommendations concerning the laving out of several streets, the study of an area
proposed to be donated to the town for lecreation purposes, the development of a capital budget program for the town, and recommend.'

tions related to the expansion of the high school. in the latter care,
Board action resulted in the town looking to the future and acquiring
more lam! for high school use than was originally requested.
Mans of the studies noted above will be continued by the Board
in 1169.
Building Inspection and Zoning
Building ix:runts are required for building construction anywhere
within the town boundaries, and arc obtained from the Building Inspector. 11'Itc:n planning the alteration, construe Lion, or moving of .1
always consult with the Building Inspector to assure compliance with
coning and building regulations.
Re«Ads from the office of the Building Inspector indicate that the

The increase in the Business and Industrs classification is gratifying
and reflects the construction of a new shoe factory, a bowling alley, and
a large new store on the site of the former town hall.
All building construction and use of property within the town must
be in conformits with the Zoning Ordinance as enforced by the Building
Inspector. Approximately 5)) cases were investigated by the Building
Inspector for violation of the Zoning Ordinance and corrections ordered.
The Zoning Board of Appeals is authorized to make decisions on certain
matters beyond his authority, and is also the body to which appeals front

Public Welfare
The increase of federal surplus food available to eligible families,
as compared with past sears. has been quite sizeable as a result of new
policies established bs President Kennedy's administration. Although
many recipients of surplus food are not welfare cases, this food is distributed through the welfare office. The total cost to the community
is the cost of transportation plus the cost of storage facilities and administration. or about S1,700 for 1961. To be eligible for this food, a family
must meet certain income standards based on the site of the family.
During 1961 an average of 449 persons per month received surplus
Beals, :ind during the busiest month 524 persons were served. A total
of 69,054 pounds, or over 3-1 tons. of food seas distributed during the year.
Food available included butter, eggs. dry milk, lard, cornmeal, flour, rice,
beans, pork with gravy, rolled oats, peanut butter and chopped meat.
Town welfare expenditures cases showed an increase as compared
with 1960. although the average cost per person assisted was reduced.

Recreation In Brunswick
"[he year 1961 saw a number of changes in administration in the
Brunswick Recreation Department. Mr. Pennell Eustis, who had been
the Recreation Director in Brunswick for the past five years, resigned
to accept a college position in Potsdam, New York. Mr. \\Tinian' Mitchell, former Director of Recreation in Dover, New Hampshire, was appointed by the Recreation Commission to succeed Mr. Lustis. Mr.
Louis Leaver of Groton, New York was appointed assistant to Mr.
Mitchell.
The Recreation Center took on added duties with the moving of
Town Meetings and voting to the gymnasium. Other special events that
were normally held in the old Town Hall auditorium were moved to the
Recreation Center.
The most valuable records a recreation department could have.
would be those which indicate the amount of happiness it has brought
to individuals through its program and the contribution it has made to
more abundant living in the community. As vet no methods have been
devised for measuring such results with accuracy, so it is necessary to rely
on other records for an appraisal of the Recreation Department.
During 1961 program participation in the Brunswick Recreations
Commission's activities increased 15c)-(") over 1960. Comparative attendance figures follow:

During the fall the major programs were, Touch Football for boys,
Tumbling and Trampoline classes for girls, and a Halloween window
painting contest which was a great success.
The major summer programs were the Gperation of six playgrounds,
a Learn to Swim program, junior Baseball, and instructions in Tennis
and Golf.
-Fhe winter activities of major concern were a Grammar School Basketball League, Mens Volleyball, N•'omens Gym classes, Grammar School

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To Members of the Superintending School Committee and
Citizens of Brunswick:
i
j
Nineteen hundred sixty-one opened with the Superintending Sc hool
Committee Working to solve a number of concurrently interrelated problems. During the veal it held II regular meetings and 15 special
meetings plus subcommittee meetings on special matters.
Chid among the problems was the continuation of the growing
school population which by 1961 had to be reconsidered as an .tre.t
problem. Now, the decision as to where building should be carried out
needed an agreement between Brunswick and others towns as to whether
or not they should continue with the community high school concept
that had been adopted when special State legislation was obtained in
1949 and amended in 1951. This legislation recognized the principle of
ha%ing the sending towns participate in the costs of capital outlay when
additional facilities were needed in order to accommodate additional
tuition pupils. A solution of this matter had to precede any practical
solution to Brunswick's building program for 1961.
The former enabling act which permitted the towns of this area to
participate in such an arrangement would expire in 1961 and would no
longer cover a continuation of the practice. Another special act was
drawn to permit contractual agreements. This legislation was passed by
the 100th Legislature but, in the meantime, legal technicalities arose
which would have made the intended plan impractical. However, In this
time other towns throughout Maine had come to realize the inadequacy
of the tuition formula as provided in the general law. .Amendments were
submitted and the general law was modified so as to meet the two most
serious inadequacies of the previous formula, namely the capital element
in the formula was increased, and the computation of the tuition rate
was based on current operating costs instead of using the average cost of
two previous years.
The new formula was accepted in principle as the basis for contracts
with the towns sending pupils to Brunswick High School. Brunswick.
Harpswell. Topsham, and Bowdoinham all voted to proceed with contracts on the above basis.
Still another amendment of an existing law made Brunswick, with
over 700 students in its High School, eligible (") to receive building
The amendment permitted counting tuition pupils in the total.

aid froze► the State of Maine. This aid will be recei%ed each year as
Brunswick makes payments on its debt retirement. The payment is controlled by the yearly rate at which State subside is received b) Brunswick.
and includes payments made on interest as well as on principal.
With this sequence of events, expansion of the high school plant was
indicated. This plan was supported on June 21. 1961. when the Town
of Brunswick voted to raise and appropriate S615,001/00, (including Federal funds of $101,315.00). for additions to the high school, for equipment, and the acquisition of additional land south of Mc Keen Street.
The High School Additions were planned in two steps, the first being
a top floor and a western extension on the existing wing. This was u► gently needed for fall use but due to the lateness in getting underway it
was necessary to operate double sessions until early in January, 1962.
Substantial completion was accomplished by 1)ecen► ber 22nd, 1961.
The second and larger part of the project was begun in October,
1961, and will be ready for fall opening of school in 1962. NVhen completed, the entire plant will contain the facilities for a complete and comprehensive secondary program accommodating 1350 high school students.
Building at the high school this year accomplished a number of
things:
a. We got temporary relief at the elementary level by grouping the
sixth grade with the junior high group.
b. We were able to get our 9th grade, including the tuition students.
in one place where it is easier and more economical to operate a
program for them.
c. We incorporated both very large and small meeting areas for
more flexible programing of classes at the high school. This
enables a teacher to meet two or three class divisions at one time
for certain parts of the work, thus leaving time for more work
with individual, or smaller groups in other parts of the work.
l•rencl► , Grades Seiwn and Eight
For the past few years the School Committee has been considering
proposals made by Mr. LeBlanc of our High School Language stall, for
the introduction of a Foreign Language in the elementary grades. Mr.
LeBlanc's interest lead him to participate in a Summer Institute under
the National Defense Education Act at the University of Maine where
materials were being prepared for this purpose.
Helped by Mr. LeBlanc's experience at Maine, the Committee acted
to begin a pilot program of French in the grades. but decided to open it
at the upper grade level for the time being. This is the more cautious

approach. It enables us to benefit those in the upper grades at this time
and extend the program downward as it seems advisable. We are fortunate to have a member on our staff. Mr. Junes Miller, who is a French
major ;ind who also attended it Language Institute course given at Bowdon]. .1 he pilot program involved one division of Seventh Graders and
one division of Eighth Graders.

In june, 1961. the School Committee voted to add Spanish to the
languages to be taught at the High School.

Miss Betty Rasnmssen was transferred from her Principalship at the
Coffin School to the Principalship of the .Junior High School. Junior
High Principal, Frank Rouges. resigned to accept a position in Connecticut.
Mrs. .Sudrey Alexander was selected to fill the position of Principalship of Coffin School. Sirs. Alexander has been in the Brunswick school
system since September. 1954. She received her undergraduate preparation at Gorham State Teachers College in elementary school work. Her
teaching at the High School was done in the intermediate grades. More
recently, she was very- active in Guidance work, having been especially
active in the orientation program of the incoming classes and in giving
leadership to other student activities.

Report Of The
It is a pleasure to report the activities of the Brunswick Sewer Distric!
for the vear ending December 31, 1961, this being the fourteenth year
of incorporation as a District. The year was highlighted by the completion of se% ei al sewer laterals. and by planning for future sewage treatment
needs.
SEWER LATERAL CONSTRUC [ION
ApproximatelY 3. 1 92 feet of 8 inch sewer pipe was installed (luring
the year, with anothet Foie( t being commenced at the year's end to
service the new medical ( link on Baribeau Drive. The complete projects
are as follows:

RATE STUDY
The Trustees retained Mr. Leslie Little of Bucksport. utility rate
consultant. to analyse the Sewer District rates. It was felt, at the time,
that it might he possible to effect a reduction in rates.
Nearly coincidental with the report of Mr. Little on the rate study
came a stream pollution bill from the 1961 State Legislature classifying
the portion of the Androsccgg:n River into which Brunswick sewers disc !large. The bill provides for a time schedule of certain steps which
Brunswick and other communities must take leading towards the eventual construction of a sewage treatment plant. In view of this legislation and the expenditures which the Brunswick Sewer District will have
to make to meet State requirement, the Trustees decided that a rate reduction could not he made at this time.
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT PLANNING
Ever since the incorporation of the Brunswick Sewer District, all
sewer construction and planning has been oriented towards the eventual
Page fifty-three
construction of a sewage treatment plant. Storm water is being separated
from sewage by the Town as rapidly as possible and great improvements
have been realized in that regard. One main sewer outfall has been
established and now discharges about 87", of the total Brunswick sewage.
The site for the sewage treatment plant has been purchased. .-As compared with many municipalities, Brunswick's sanitary sewer system is in
fine condition and reflects the progressive planning of the District.
Action by the 1961 Legislature. as noted above, has established .1
time table which Brunswick must meet in the construction of a sewage
treatment plant. - I he schedule follows:
BN October 1, 196-1 — Preliminary treatment plant plans and estimate,
completed.
Complete arrangements for financing and adminBy October I. 1968
istration.
Complete detailed engineering plans.
By October 1, 1969
Review of plans with Water Improvement ComBY October 1. 197(1
mission completed and construction commenced.
By October 1, 1976
Construction shall be completed.
The Trustees voted to commence preliminary treatment plant planning immediately. The consulting engineering firm of Metcalf k Eddy.
Boston, was retained under contract to develop the plans. this being the
same firm which has done much of the engineering for the District. The
contract calls for completion in 1962 at a cost not to exceed 56,500.00.
The District has made application to the Maine Water Improvement
Commission for a grant of $2,500 which is available to municipalities to
help meet this expense of planning. The District has agreed to furnish
certain maps and perform certain necessary borings to assist Metcalf k
Eddy in the study.
Under existing State and Federal law, funds are also available to pay
up to 60% of the actual cost of construction of a treatment plant. The
District intends to take full advantage of these funds as the need arises.
FINANCES
The District completed the year in good financial condition. Revenues showed an increase of nearly $3,700, largely because of the opening
of the federal Capehart housing project. This increase was more than
offset by greater operating expenses, the increase being S8,336.99.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000 were retired, and interest totalling
S11,159.16 was paid. reducing the bonded indebtedness of the District
to $350,000.00.
Sufficient funds were available from the year's operation to enable
the Trustees to vote the sum of $20,000.00 to establish a Reserve for
Page le f ty-f our
tf
Treatment Plant. It is hoped that this reserve can be added to each
Year to help meet the anticipated construction cost of the proposed sewage treatment plant.
Full occupancy of the federal Capehart Housing Project off McKeen
Street was realized in Mil. Sewer billings to the First Naval District for
service rendered became a matter of discussion because of differing interpretations of the contract rate clause. The matter was resolved after a
meeting between the Trustees and Navy representatives. The District
will realize an annual revenue of approximately $7.5(H) from the Navy
with full occupant y of the housing project.
The resignation of Mr. Thomas Libby, in June. as Superintendent
of the District was accepted by the Trustees with expressed regret.
The Trustees meet regularly on the second NIonclay of each month
at 4:00 P.NI. and welcome the attendance of anyone who IllaV wish to
discuss sewage problems.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Personnel and Training. Four appointments to the department
were necessary during 1961 to maintain the department at full allowable strength consisting of the chief and fourteen men. One promotion
to the position of Detective Sergeant was made to fill a vacano. Two
probationary patrolmen were selected to attend a two-week polite training course sponsored by the Maine Municipal Association and the Maine
Police Chiefs' Association. All regular officers completed a 20 hour small
arms training course. In addition, officers attended meetings, conferences, and seminars conducted by F.B.I. agents and others.
ActivitieN. A total of -127 arrests. excluding juvenile cases, were
made during 1961 as compared with 360 arrests the previous year. Motor

Other departmental activities included the handling of :i,114 telephone calls, investigation of 420 complaints, issuing of -1.25(1 tickets for
parking and other violations, licensing of 853 bicycles, and many other
duties too numerous to mention. The police cruisers traveled nearly
82,000 miles during the Year.
Tralli«ind Accidents. vl-he problems created by ever increasing
traffic volumes, and by the extensive street reconstruction projects, demanded more of the department's time than in previous Nears. The department investigated -145 traffic accidents, 33 more than the previous

deliscred, this truck will replace the 1948 Ford holding only 375 gallons
of water. The new tank truck was authorized in order to reinforce our

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Brunswick :
It is a pleasure to present the 1962 Annual Report of the Town
of Brunswick covering the 225th year of incorporation as a town. The
report of the Brunswick Sewer District is also included.
The community continued to move ahead in several fields, these
being noted briefly on the following page entitled "Highlights of 1962."
The total 1962 tax budget increased about 12% over the previous
year, and necessitated a tax rate increase from 33.60 mills to 36.70
mills. This problem of the ever increasing cost of local government
exists country-wide, and will continue to be a matter of concern to
us for the foreseeable future.
The Town of Brunswick completed the year 1962 in sound fiscal
condition. Budgeted funds for departmental activities exceeded expenditures by $29,779.67, and actual revenues exceeded estimates by
$131,548. The additional revenue was received principally from the
State of Maine school construction aid subsidy funds as a result of a
liberal interpretation of governing law. At the end of the year the
unappropriated surplus stood at $171,242, having contributed $45,000
to help complete the new high school wing.
I should like to express my sincere thanks to the Board of Selectmen for the fine cooperation given the administration, and to the department heads and employees for the excellent work they have done
for the community.

Public Safety
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Perstynne/ and Training. One additional officer was authorized in 1962
to bring the allowable strength of the department to sixteen men including the chief. This action, coupled with two resignations, required
the appointment of three new men to the department.
Two men attended the Basic Police Training School in Augusta, a
two week course. One man attended a four day course in criminal
investigation, and one man participated in a Traffic Safety Clinic held
in Augusta for one week. All men were required to take a ten week
course in small arms training. In addition, a number of law enforcement meetings, conferences, and seminars conducted by F.B.I. agents,
were attended by the men whenever possible.
.4etiritivs. A total of 720 arrests, excluding juvenile cases, were made
during 1962 as compared with 427 arrests the previous year. This
represents a 68(; increase. Motor vehicle law violations accounted for
436 arrests 1236 in 1961 ), and criminal law violations numbered 284
arrests (191 in 1961 ). It was found necessary to detain 276 persons in
the municipal cell block.
A disturbing increase in juvenile delinquency is revealed by 1962
statistics. A total of 97 juvenile cases reached court as compared with
44 cases in 1961. Larceny was the most common offense.
Other departmental activities included the handling of 3,136 telephone calls, investigation of 448 complaints, issuing of 11,950 tags
for parking violations, licensing of 827 bicycles, and numerous other
duties. The two police cruisers traveled nearly 108,000 miles in the
performance of departmental duties.
Traffic and Accidents. A welcome decrease in the number of motor
vehicle accidents investigated by the police was noted in 1962. The
400 accidents investigated represented a decrease of 45 from the previous year. There were 85 accidents involving personal injuries to 133
people. For the second year in a row no traffic fatalities were recorded in the area patrolled by the department.
Estimated damage from motor vehicle accidents totalled about
$111,000, a slight decrease from 1961. October replaced January as
the month with the largest number of accidents. Inattention was
cited as the factor contributing to the greatest number of accidents,
with snow and ice being a close second.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Several developments served to strengthen the fire department
during the year. An additional regular fireman was authorized bringing department strength to eleven regular men including the chief.
The additional man allowed the two duty shifts to operate at equal
strength. Thirty-one volunteer firemen continued to provide a vital
back-up service to the regular department.
The 1,500 gallon tank truck authorized by town meeting action
in 1961 was delivered in the spring of 1962 and has proved to be a
valuable piece of equipment. The total cost of the truck was $11,020.
The 1948 Ford tanker holding 375 gallons of water was retained as
a reserve vehicle.
New two-way radio communication equipment was installed for
the department. The change was required by FCC regulations and
has resulted in greatly improved service. The system not only provides for a local frequency but also allows switch-over to the State
fire frequency, this being invaluable when more than one department
is participating at a fire. Seven vehicles are equipped with mobile
units, and a base station is located in the central fire dispatching office.
Two regular firemen attended a one-week school sponsored by the
Maine Department of Education for training instructors in fire fighting techniques. These men now assist in the regular training program
in which all firemen participate for two hours daily.
The fire department answered 270 calls of various types during
the year, a decrease of 4 from the previous year. Estimated fire loss
decreased substantially to $21,970, a very favorable figure; the loss
in 1961 was $85,975. Comparative fire department statistics follow:

CIVIL DEFENSE
The Brunswick Civil Defense staff continued to participate in
certain state and county exercises during the year, and regularly atPage eight
iy
tended county staff meeting in Windham. Civil defense headquarters
in the municipal building will soon be powered by emergency generating equipment. The generator is surplus property, and the installation
cost has been approved by the federal government for matching funds.
As the year ended, consideration was being given to the results
of the National Fallout Shelter Survey as it applied to Brunswick.
Certain public shelter areas rated by the federal government will be
eligible for stocking with food and water. The number of such eligible
shelters in Brunswick is few, however.

Public Library
In 1962 the Brunswick Public Library completed its 79th year of
service to the residents of the community. Originally established in
1883 and located in the old Town Building the Library moved in 1903
to the Curtis Memorial Library on Pleasant Street, the grounds and
building having been given to the town by William J. Curtis as a memorial to his father, Captain John Curtis.
The Library was supported in 1962 by the income from various
trust funds amounting to $3800 and by the town appropriation of
$10,000. Fees charged non-resident borrowers, fines and gifts accounted for the remainder of the income. The chief expenditures were for
staff salaries, $7865, for books and periodicals, $3200 and for operation
and maintenance $3700.
The circulation of books showed an increase of over 6000 to an
all-time high of 98,813 divided as follows: Fiction 28,239, Nonfiction, 22,643, Juvenile 27,612, Schools 20,319.
There were 989 new registrations during the year and a total of
1,149 new books were acquired.
Regular maintenance of the building and grounds was continued
and a new vinyl floor was installed in the main reading room. The
Great Books Discussion Group continues to meet twice a month. The
annual observance of National Book Week was held during April with
a marked increase in interest.
The library hours have recently been extended to include weekdays
from 12 noon to 8 P.M. and Saturdays from 10:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.

Public Health
HEALTH OFFICER
In the calendar year of 1962 the Town Health Officer again combined the functions of Health Officer and Town Physician.
As Town Physician, the following services were rendered to Welfare Recipients in the Town of Brunswick. 12 patients residing in
Nursing Homes received routine visits and emergency care as needed.
287 office visits were made. 36 emergency house calls were made. 23
patients were treated in the hospital — 2 undergoing major surgery 5 admitted for obstetrical deliveries. 114 laboratory analyses were
carried out. 75 injections of medicines or vaccines were given.
The Health Officer, during the calendar year of 1962, in cooperation with the Public Health Nurse and School Nurse, held three Clinics
in the Public Schools for vaccination against smallpox, poliomyelitis,
tetanus, whooping cough and diptheria. 12 new restaurants and
that had either moved or changed ownership were inspected for Victualers Licenses. 51 previously established eating places were approved for renewal of licenses. All infectious diseases occurring within
the Town, which are reported to the Health Officer, were transmitted
to the State Health and Welfare Office for tabulation in the Vital Statistics. Investigation of calls regarding health hazards, violation of
State and Town Health Ordinane, and numerous complaints of nuisances, were investigated, handled, or referred to other authorities for
action, advice, or abatement.

Tax Assessment And Collection
Sixty-five percent of the income of the Town of Brunswick comes
from the local property tax. For this reason, the importance of maintaining a professional standard of assessing procedures cannot be
overemphasized.
The assessing function is administered by the five-man Board of
Selectmen, acting as Assessors, and a full-time professional Assessing
Officer.
The Assessors were able to determine an increase in the taxable
property of nearly 3t2% over the previous year. However, a 12 (-c
increase in the amount required to be raised from taxation caused a
tax rate increase of $3.10 to $36.70 per $1,000 of valuation. Assessed
valuations in Brunswick averaged about 71% of the actual value as
represented by sales.

Public Works
Construction continued at an above normal rate throughout the
Town of Brunswick in 1962. Relocated Route No. 1 was completed
by the State Highway Commission and opened through to Cook's
Corner in the late fall and work began on the continuation through
to New Meadows River. Major construction projects were in evidence on Union Street, River Road arid Highland Road by town forces
or contractors employed by the Town. The Public Works Department
accomplished its construction program along with its general maintenance in spite of many rainy days throughout the tarring season.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Many of the streets arid roads received a new coat of tar or asphalt
in 1962 as 95,450 gallons of asphalt and 34,300 gallons of tar were
applied to Brunswick roads and streets.
The major portion of these quantities were applied to the country
roads as these showed the greatest signs of deterioration. This is a
continuation of the policy to keep the roads and streets properly sealed
and mulched to prevent water seepage into the base. This leads to
frost heaving in the winter and longer periods of unstable base conditions in the spring. Additional effort was placed in ditching on country roads because a road is only as good as its drainage facilities.
Many small storm drain lines in town were cleaned this year and more
are on the schedule for next year. It is unwise to invest money in a
storm drainage system and not properly maintain it to allow for its
maximum use in periods of high runoff.
388. tons of bituminous concrete pavement was placed at the intersection of Sills Drive and Bath Road, on the westerly side of the Congregational Church, south of the NI.C.R.R. tracks and on Federal Street
from the overpass to the Bath Road. These areas are all heavily
traveled and the base is sound enough to warrant the placing of this
high type pavement, thus prolonging the life of these streets many
years.
UNION STREET RECONSTRUCTION
A contract to reconstruct Union Street from Mill Street to Pleasant Street was awarded the firm of W. S. Williams of Gardiner,
Maine in the latter part of April. Total contract price was $41,148.00
covering all work connected with the excavation, drainage, gravel base,
granite curb, roadway and sidewalk paving. Tree removal, feeding
of shade trees bordering the road, and planting new trees was unPage thirteen
dertaken by Goodall Tree Expert at a cost of $3,183.00. Engineering
costs for preliminary survey, design, stake-out and inspection amounted to $4,300.00. An old storm drain built in 1912 was discovered and
found to be in good condition. The Brunswick Sewer District removed
sand deposits that had built up for 50 years thereby reclaiming a storm
drain which will be sufficient to handle the needs of this area. This
work amounted to $1,063.00. Miscellaneous charges of $953.00 brought
the grand total for the work accomplished on Union Street to $50,657.00. The Public Works permanent street construction program
for 1963 calls for the reconstruction of that section of Union Street
from Pleasant Street to the M.C.R.R. tracks.
STATE AID WORK
State Aid work in 1962 was continued with reconstruction of 2600
feet of River Road between the Lamb residence and Patricia Road.
Easement of curves, new grade line and a wider pavement were incorporated in the new construction. There is no State Aid work planned for 1963 as all the available funds were used for this construction
and the amount to be raised in 1963 would not be sufficient to undertake any sizable reconstruction job. It is felt that the next State
Aid construction should be the section of Harpswell Street from its intersection with Gurnet Road to Mere Brook. This section has a high
traffic load, major drainage problems, and is in very poor condition.
TOWN ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Approximately 2200 feet of the poorest section of Highland Road
was constructed with Town Road Improvement funds in 1963 by town
forces. Over $2,600 was expended removing ledge to improve alignment and drainage in two locations. One large culvert was installed
and over 10,000 cubic yards of fill and gravel were placed on the job
to improve the grade of this section of road. A total of $13,550 was
expended on this construction. Further work is contemplated in 1964.
DRAINAGE
Very little new construction of new storm drains was in evidence
in Brunswick during 1962. Minor problems arising in scattered areas
around town were corrected. New catch basins and drain lines were
installed on Swett Street, Baribeau Drive near the Regional Hospital,
McKeen Street near the Capehart development and on Maple Street.
Work planned in 1963 includes replacing an old stone drain in the
Swett Street area and removing a storm drain from private land on
Stone Street.

SIDEWALKS
A substantial start was made in 1962 in improving the sidewalks
in Brunswick. A new sidewalk was constructed by town forces on
South Stanwood Street from Columbia Street to Mere Brook. It is
hoped that in 1963, a small wooden footbridge can be constructed to
allow the extension of the sidewalk through to Peary Drive. The sidewalk on Progress Road leading to the Maine Shoe Corporation was
paved. thus completing the work begun in 1961. All the former "grass
plots" on Maine Street between, the concrete sidewalk and the curb
were paved correcting a dangerous condition for pedestrians and also
improving the problem of snow removal in these areas.

Planning Board
The Planning Board continues to be one of the most active boards
in town government, having held a total of 22 meetings during the
year. In addition the Board participated in two public hearings related to ordinance changes.
Much of the time of the Board was concerned with the need for
changes in the Zoning Ordinance. A referendum vote was held in
March on an entirely new ordinance prepared with the assistance of
professional consultants. A similar ordinance had been voted upon in
1961 and not accepted. Public disapproval of the proposal was again
expressed when the referendum resulted in 1091 Yes votes and 1626 No
votes. Subsequently, the Board proposed a number of amendments
to the existing Zoning Ordinance which were adopted at a special town
meeting in July.
The Board determined that the present land Subdivision Ordinance needed to be strengthened in order to protect the taxpayers of
the community. A revised ordinance has been prepared and will be
submitted to the voters for consideration in 1963.
Phase II of the Brunswick Town Plan Report by Atwood &
Blackwell was accepted by the Board in February. This report was
prepared with financial assistance from the state and federal governments, and represented the completion of the basic master plan for the
development of the community. The zoning of certain industrial areas
recommended in the report was accomplished, but a plan for establishing an industrial park site in East Brunswick with access to the new
Route No. 1 highway was turned down by the voters. While accepting
the basic idea of the Phase II report concerning the need for downtown improvements, the Board has determined upon certain modifications of this portion of the report.
Other matters which concerned the Board included the possible
application of the federal urban renewal program to Brunswick, the
need for providing additional parking in the downtown area, and the
laying out of several streets.
During 1963 the Board will continue its work on the subdivision
ordinance, commence a study of recreational areas, and consider further the downtown problems.

In addition, institutional (non-taxable) permits were issued
totalling $2,090,000. This included the Bowdoin College Senior Center,
Lutheran Church, and an addition to Parkview Hospital.
Building permits are required for building construction anywhere
within the town boundaries, and are obtained from the Building Inspector. When planning the alteration, construction, or moving of a
building, always consult with the Building Inspector to assure compliance with building and zoning regulations.
All construction and use of property must be in conformity with
the Zoning Ordinance. Forty-three cases were investigated by the
Building Inspector for violation of the zoning ordinance and corrections ordered. The most common violations related to junk yards
and duMping problems.
The Zoning Board of Appeals is authorized to make decisions on
certain matters beyond the control of the Building Inspector, and is
also the body to which appeals from decisions of the inspector are
taken. The board considered 27 appeals during the year, five of which
were denied and the balance granted.

Public Welfare
Welfare expenditures administered by the Town of Brunswick
showed an increase over 1961. Statistics from the office of the Welfare
Director indicate that 202 cases involving 631 people were assisted at
a total cost of $47,991. Of this total certain sums were reimbursed by
the State and other towns making the net cost to the Town of Brunswick of $28,861.
In addition to the above, Brunswick was required to pay to the
State of Maine the sum of $12,815 as its 18% share of the stateadministered Aid to Dependent Children program for recipients having local welfare settlement. This represents an increase of $1,223
over the previous year.
The Welfare Director administers the distribution of federal
surplus foods, although to qualify for surplus food a person need not
be a welfare case. Transportation and storage of the food cost Brunswick $1,972, although the food itself is supplied free. During 1962
an average of 539 persons per month received surplus food; the 1961
average was 449. A total of 70,222 pounds, or over 35 tons, of food
was distributed. Food available included butter, dry milk, corn meal,
peanut butter, rice, cheese, canned meat, lard, flour, rolled wheat,
and beans.
Administrative expenses of the welfare office were $6,959. In
addition, repairs to the town-owned building which houses a home for
the elderly cost $620.

Recreation
The Brunswick Recreation Commission during the year 1962 continued to meet the recreational needs of the town by offering a variety
of programs developed over a period of years and by creating new
activities to meet changing interests. Because a yardstick has not yet
been devised to measure personal achievement and satisfaction gained
through participation in a recreation program, the Recreation Commission records attendance of all activities which utilize the recreation facilities. 1962 attendance totaled 112,240. Major activities conducted by the Commission included:
Winter:
*Men's, *Church and GRA basketball leagues. Baton Lessons, *Girls Crafts Classes, Women's Exercise Night, Judo,
Weight-Lifting, Rifle Instruction, and *Men's Swimming.
Summer: Playgrounds (6), Learn to Swim Program, Junior and
Babe Ruth Baseball, Tennis, Golf, and *Learn to Bowl
Programs.
Spring:
Kickball, Whiffleball and Table Tennis Round Robin.
Fall:
*Boys Gym Class, Girls Gym Class, Halloween Window
Painting, *Pass, Punt and Kick Clinics and Competition.
Recreation facilities administered by the department include an
indoor center with a gym, game room, teenage room, conference room,
rifle range, weight-lifting room, lobby, locker and shower facilities.
Also a nine acre athletic field with facilities for baseball, softball,
basketball and track. The Brunswick School Department and Bowdoin College by allowing generous use of their facilities make many
of the Commission's programs possible. The Recreation Department
staff extends an invitation to all Brunswick citizens to visit their recreation facilities often and discuss with the staff your recreational
interests.
Participation by volunteer groups and organizations make it possible for the Commission to add and improve programs without increasing the budget. The actual cost of the program to the taxpayers
was reduced from the appropriation of $29,130 to $25,511.18 by contributions from the Davis Fund ($2680.461, rental of recreation facilities, ($433.25), and profits from concessions at the Center ($505.11).

Teenage dances proved to be the most popular activity with the
average attendance of 280 for 45 dances. The dances, sponsored by
youth organizations, have a second value as they supply the funds
used by these groups to finance their club projects.
As a new feature of the summer playground season, a playground
boy and girl of the year contest was held. Brunswick's "Playground
Girl of the Year," Miss Kathy Fuller, was chosen by the Maine Recreation Association as the "Maine Playground Girl of the Year."
An important administration change occurred in the Recreation
Department during the year. Mr. Louis Leaver was appointed Director of Recreation when ill health forced Mr. William Mitchell to resign.
The Commission plans to start the improvement of Coffin Pond
area during 196:;. The first year goal is to make the area suitable for
swimming by cleaning the bottom of the pond, developing a beach
area, and building temporary toilet facilities. If approved by the
town, the Commission will continue making improvements each year
according to the need determined by participation.
Page fwerlir -our
Major town projects must, from time to time, be financed by borrowing. Borrowing is not as undesirable as it is sometimes pictured
because it means that the taxpayers who benefit from the existance
of the improvement over the years, rather than those who suffered
along without it, will pay for the project. Increasing population, and
the general historical inflationary trend, tend to negate the apparent
cost of interest.
Debt financing for two separate projects, as authorized by Town
Meeting votes, was necessary in 1962. The completion of the high
school north wing was financed by borrowing $50,000 at 2.25% , and a
new fire department tanker required the borrowing of $11,000.
General obligation debt was reduced by principal payments of
$109,200. The general obligation debt outstanding on December 31,
1962 was $1,569,000, a net reduction of $58,200 from 1961. The legal
constitutional debt limit for Brunswick is $2,852,780.
Tax anticipation borrowing totalling $925,000, at interest rates
of 1.9% and 1.7% , was completely repaid at the end of the year. Interest payments on all borrowings cost the town $57,981.97 in 1962.

COMMENTS
TOWN OF BRUNSWICK
January 1, 1962 to December 31, 1962
***
An audit of the financial records of the Town of Brunswick has
been completed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1962. The audit,
which consisted of an examination of the records maintained under
the supervision of the Town Manager and municipal officials, included
a review of cash transactions and an analysis of available funds and
expenditures.
The operations for the year showed a net gain of $161,327.67, which
was accounted for as follows:
Unexpended Balances
Overdrafts
$62,546.62
32,766.95
Net Unexpended Balance
Actual Revenue Over Estimate
29,779.67
131,548.00
Gain For Year
$161,327.67
The major unexpended balances occurred principally in the public
works central and winter maintenance and Union Street reconstruction accounts and the school instruction account. The larger overdrafts were in the welfare, school plant operation, public works
general maintenance and the abatement accounts.
The actual revenue amounted to $883,936.00, as compared with an
estimate of $752,388.00 for the year. The additional revenue was received principally from State of Maine school construction aid subsidy.
The following comments pertain to the accompanying financial statements and to the scope of audit.
ASSETS . . . The cash balance of $71,975.86 was verified by reconciliation of statements furnished'by the depositories, direct bank confirmation and by count of change funds.
Page twenty•five
Accounts receivable amounted to $23,067.92 and contained for the
most part current year tuition charges due from municipalities, vocational subsidy and welfare reimbursements due from the State.
Taxes receivable totaling $91,850.67 consisted principally of current
year accounts of $82,422.69. The remaining balance of $9,427.98 was
for prior years accounts dating from 1955.
Other general fund assets included tax lien and tax acquired property amounting to $3,923.57 and $17,931.98 respectively.
LIABILITIES, RESERVES AND SURPLUS . . . The appropriation
accounts showed a net unexpended balance of $21,444.45, representing
various operating account balances carried forward in accordance with
legal requirements and/or by authority of the municipal officers.
Other reserve accounts include the special funds for school construction.
The unappropriated surplus amounted to $171,242.00, an increase
of $118,611.92 for the year. This change was occasioned principally by
the excess of actual revenue over estimate and the excess of available
funds over expenditures. The authorized transfer of $45,000.00 to the
school construction account was also a contributing factor.
DEBT FUND . . . The debt fund, incorporated in the balance sheet
as a separate fund, reflects outstanding serial notes of $233,000.00 and
bonds of $1,336,000.00 which mature during the ensuing nineteen
years at varying interest rates.
Notes of $11,000.00 and $50,000.00 were issued during the year
to finance the purchase of a tank truck and school construction costs
respectively.
The sinking fund reserve of $20,918.77 is comprised of the unexpended balance of funds received from Towns of Harpswell and Topsham totaling $20,171.57 and interest of $747.20 allowed on time deposits. The amount of $7,865.00 was expended from this account to
retire school addition notes.
TRUST FUNDS . . . Trust funds held by the town totaled $138.119.34 at the year end. This amount contained principal accounts of
$128,526.85, a net profit of $5,358.60 on exchange of securities, and
unexpended income of $4,233.89. The funds are invested for the most
part in various stocks and bonds.
Page lwenlv-six

CAPITAL RESERVE FUNDS . . . The equipment replacement
fund of $11,315.55 and the parking lot fund of $1.00 are on deposit in
local banks.
DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTS . . . The departmental operating
accounts showed an increase of $266,259.11 in funds raised by taxation, as compared with the preceding year. Larger appropriations were
provided for most operating categories, particularly for public works,
educational and debt retirement purposes. The increased appropriations were offset to a large extent by the application of a larger estimated revenue.
The departmental balances carried forward amounted to $21,444.45
which consisted principally of amounts reserved for public works
projects.
GENERAL . . . The townspeople authorized the use of parking
meter revenue for parking meter maintenance and public works expense. Authorization also was granted to transfer surplus funds to the
contingent account and high school addition project.
The townspeople authorized the issuance of notes totaling $50,000.00
to continue the construction of the high school addition.
In connection with the examir ation of high school construction
financial activities, the signed contracts were not made available.
RECOMMENDATIONS . . . The following recommendations are
deemed worthy of further consideration:
All original signed contracts and faithful performance bonds should
be filed with the town clerk for safekeeping.
The school department should issue prenumbered duplicate receipts
for all monies received and deposit collections currently with the
town treasurer.
The Superintendent of Schools should supply the general accounting
office with a detailed copy of all billings made by his office.
School payrolls should be approved by at least a majority of the
school committee as well as the Superintendent of Schools.
The public health nurse should Issue prenumbered duplicate receipts
for all monies received.

SCOPE OF AUDIT
was made and records checked to determine the accuracy of recording
cash transactions.
Cash accounts were verified by reconciliation of bank statements
furnished by the depositories and/or by direct bank confirmation.
Verifications were utilized, on a test basis, to determine the correctness of recorded assets and liabilities.
An analysis was made of receipts and deposits as well as expenditures and negotiated checks. Vouchers, payrolls, teachers' contracts
and canceled checks were examined for a selected period. Records supporting tuition charges were also reviewed. Construction account and
general school financial transactions were reviewed with the Superintendent of Schools.
Excise tax collections were verified with the copies of receipts retained by the collector. Debt, trust and capital reserve fund transactions and investments were examined. Surety bond coverage was reviewed.
The town clerk's records were checked, as pertained to financial
operations and licenses and fees, as were police department records
pertaining to revenue items.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the Members of the Superintending School Committee and
OUR NEWEST FACILITY
The School Department activity which received the most public
attention during 1962 was the high school building project. This is
an important development in Brunswick's educational program. There
is probably no place in the public school system which has felt the
direct impact of change more than at the high school level. Change
about us has been taking place rapidly and will continue to do so at
an increasing rate. Keeping even reasonably abreast with the situation is a constant challenge. "The challenge of change," it has been
aptly titled.
The planning and building of the high school additions represents
a major effort to meet this challenge by providing the kinds of facilities with which an optimum educational program can be carried out.
In the planning much attention was given to details that have allowed
us to deploy our teaching staff more efficiently and effectively. Your
attention is called to the incorporation of large classrooms in the
south wing where three or four divisions of students may be met in
a single session by one teacher for the introduction of new areas of
work or the laying out of major lesson plans.
Our Home Economics department was also designed to permit
larger groups to be supervised by each teacher. In each of these
cases valuable teacher time has been more efficiently applied.
Careful choice of building materials has given us a plant with
large areas both inside and out which will never require painting.
The translucent nature of our gymnasium wall panels should help to
cut down lighting bills during daytime use of this facility.
Consultation with acoustical engineers guided us in construction
details of the gymnasium floor so that our physical education activities
will not cause noise interference with the simultaneous Use of the
cafeteria room below even for programs requiring a subdued noise
level. This is a real achievement and one not found in any of the
schools visited while we were planning.
A BID FOR EXCELLENCE
Another activity of vital importance to the curriculum of our
schools has been taking place over a period of years, but reached a
special milestone in 1962. It consists essentially in the voluntary parPage forty-four
ticipation of our teachers in the continuing process of improving the
curriculum throughout the system.
This has come about in a variety of ways without trumpets or
special fanfare, but has produced positive results in steadily improving
the quality of the educational program in our schools.
Past reports have indicated the participation of our teachers in
curriculum studies in the fields of science, arithmetic and social science.
During 1962 additional work has been done in fields of English and
literature for the elementary grades. These committees, like the previous ones, work outside of school time in sessions which run into
many hours.
The results of this work has been rewarding not only to the school
program but to the teachers who participated. The workers became
more acutely aware of the inadequacy of any one textbook as a source
of material. This has resulted in a greater emphasis on supplementary
material and the use of the library. More use of the library has
created a greater demand for additional books, or more money for
library expansion in all of our schools. This is a healthy symptom.
Todays beginning teacher comes to us with more years of preparation than a few years ago, but the better school systems feel the need
for further in-service training for all teachers in the system in order
to meet the specific requirements of a particular system. This is part
of the challenge of change.
The teacher participation program just reviewed is a step in this
direction. Further steps were taken in 1962 when members of the
high school staff volunteered to provide a course in 'the new mathematics' for teachers who had not had this orientation. The School
Committee responded by voting to allow credit from this course to
apply toward a step on the salary scale.
Two more courses are now under way for a greater number of
teachers, both at the high school and the elementary levels, thus helping our schools to keep pace with our times. It is probable that these
latter courses may be allowed to count toward recertification of our
teachers at the State level.
These and other steps being taken for the upgrading of our staff,
together with the procurement of some able experienced teachers, is
giving us an increased number of resource people within our system.
This will give us an increasing improvement in quality of instruction
as we continue to have these people working together.

*With the opening of Coffin School, the seventh grade was assigned there to relieve the crowded condition at the High
School. With only grades eight to twelve the enrollment stood at 876.
**In 1956, it became necessary to divide the eighth grade between Coffin School, (100), and the High School, (68). Enrollment at the High School edged to 878.
***By 1957, all seventh and eighth grade pupils were assigned to the Coffin School. With only grades nine to twelve, the
High School enrollment climbed to 913. Coffin School enrollment without the Special Class had climbed to 645.

Report Of The
The fifteenth year of incorporation of the Brunswick Sewer
District was completed with the district in good financial condition.
The year was highlighted by the completion of the preliminary sewage
treatment plant study. Sewer main construction was at a low level
as compared with recent years.
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT PLANNING
As reported last year, Brunswick is affected by legislation setting
up a time table for the eventual building of a sewage treatment plant,
construction of which must be commenced by 1970. For many years
the district has recognized that a treatment plant would eventually be
required, and all development of the district has been directed towards that end.
The time table mentioned above required that preliminary treatment plant plans and cost estimates be completed and submitted to the
Maine Water Improvement Commission by October 1, 1964. In 1961,
the district retained the services of the consulting engineering firm of
Metcalf & Eddy, Boston, to perform the study. The report was completed and submitted in October 19E 2.
The report indicates the need to design a plant for an estimated
population in 1985 of 14,000; at the present time the sewered population is approximately 10,000 persons. The degree of treatment will be
that which is designated as "primary," and will include sedimentation, removal of floating material, and disinfection. This is reported
to be ample to maintain a B-2 classification in Merrymeeting Bay and
in the Androscoggin River at Brunswick.
The treatment plant will be located on district land adjacent to the
Androscoggin River near Merrymeeting Road, and will be of the
vacuum filtration type. Treatment units will be covered, and existing
wooded areas between houses and the proposed plant structure will
be retained. The sewage sludge produced by the plant will he disposed
of at another site well removed from residential areas. Investigation
of the possible sale of sludge for fertilizer is being considered.
In order to bring all sewage to the treatment plant site, three
minor sewer outfalls will have torbe eliminated. This will require the
construction of two pumping stations on Mill Street and one pumping
Page

station on Water Street. The work on Mill Street will have to be coordinated with the eventual proposed reconstruction of that street
by the State.
Estimated construction costs of the project follow :
Pumping Stations and Force Mains
Sewage Treatment Plant
$385,000.00
1,000,000.00
$1,385.000.00
Total
Estimated annual operating costs of the plant and of the new
pumping stations total about $40,000.00.
Under present laws, federal and state matching funds are available to aid in meeting up to 60 per cent of the construction cost of
eligible sewerage works. The district share of the total cost would
thus be about $554,000. It must be emphasized, however, that the
availability of aid in future years is indeterminable. The trustees have
established a policy of setting aside funds in interest earning accounts
to be used in meeting construction costs.
As a result of the advance planning, the district trustees authorized the installation of a 21" concrete pipe sleeve in the subgrade
the new Route No. 1 highway during its construction. The sleeve
will be used to carry the force main from the Water Street pumping
station when it is built. Installation after the opening of the highway would have presented a nearly impossible situation. Cost was
$2,468.00.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Approximately 802 feet of 8 inch sewer pipe was installed during the year in two projects:
Baribeau Drive
McKeen Street
Total

$4,072.00
2,375.00

$6,447.00
FINANCES
The district continued to operate in a healthy financial condition.
Operating revenues increased by about 1.3 per cent to a total of
$102,546.74. An increase of about $1,000. in operating expenses is also
noted, in spite of which operating income indicates an increase of
about $300.00 to $48,459.59. Bonds in the amount of $10,000. were
Page

retired, and interest totalling $10,696.44 was paid, reducing the bondEd indebtedness of the district to $340,000.
Sufficient funds were available from the year's operation to
enable the trustees to vote the sum of $20,000. to the Reserve for
Treatment Plant. A total of $40,000, plus accumulated interest of
$359.00, is now available to help meet the anticipated construction
cost of the proposed sewage treatment plant.
GENERAL
Pumping station records from the Mere Brook station indicated
a severe storm water infiltration problem. At times of heavy storm
water run-off, the records indicated that the station was pumping it
full capacity. Investigation revealed that the water was coming from
foundation drains in the Bowdoin Park housing development. A conference with the builder developed no workable plan for relieving the
situation. At the year's end, the possibility of installing a third pump
in the pumping station to handle emergency situations was being investigated. In order to prevent any further occurrance of this sort,
the trustees voted the following regulation:
12. No person or corporation shall cause or allow any subsurface water collected by means of an underdrain system
of piping to enter a sewer of the sewer district.
In another significant action, he trustees voted to become a
participating district in the Maine State Retirement System effective
January 1, 1963.
The trustees meet regularly on the second Monday of each month
at 4:00 P.M. and welcome the attendance of anyone who may wish 10

It is my pleasure to submit to you the 1963 Annual Report of the
Town of Brunswick covering the 226th year of incorporation as a town.
The report of the Brunswick Sewer District is also included.
Perhaps the most important municipal consideration which faced
Brunswick residents during the year was the proposed change to a
city form of council-manager government. It was the decision of a
majority of those voting that no change should be made in the governmental structure at this time.
The town completed the year in sound fiscal condition. Budgeted
funds for departmental activities exceeded expenditures by $39,218,
and actual revenues exceeded estimates by $32,510. At the end of the
year the unappropriated surplus had risen to $222,416; a portion of
this surplus will be used to meet 1964 expenditures.
Brunswick is a changing progressive community with a bright
future. Additional progress can be assured by the continuing cooperation of the municipal officers, the town employees whose dedication has
been demonstrated many times, and by you, the citizens of Brunswick.

Public Works
Activity in the construction field in 1963 moderated in comparison to previous years. The major work in the Town of Brunswick was
the continuation by the State Highway Commission of the work on
Relocated Route No. 1 beyond Cook's Corner. The Public Works Department handled major construction work on Union Street and Dunlap
Street.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Urban areas of the town received the major portion of the tar
and asphalt in the past year. Considerable repair work was in evidence
in Summit Park as a portion of Pierce Lane and Patricia Road showed
signs of poor base. The existing roadway was excavated to an average
depth of two feet, backfilled with gravel and paved. Hennessey Avenue
received a new gravel base and pavement following extensive work by
the Brunswick Sewer District. The program of applying a thin layer of
bituminous concrete pavement to heavily traveled streets where the
base is reasonably sound was continued in 1963. Maine Street, in the
vicinity of the Spanish War Memorial and Sills Drive to Bowker
Street received the major portion of the quantity applied with a small
amount placed at the municipal building entrance drive and parking
lot. The above work was performed under a contract with W. S. Williams of Gardiner.
PERMANENT STREET CONSTRUCTION
Town forces reconstructed 920 feet of Union Street from Pleasant Street to the MCRR tracks. This work consisted of tree removal
by the Goodall Tree Expert Company, excavation of the old base, placing of gravel base, building of drainage structures, installation of
granite curbing, and paving the roadway and sidewalks with bituminous concrete. All paving work was handled by W. S. Williams of Gardiner. With this portion of Union Street completed, access to the new
shopping center on Railroad Avenue over streets with heavy duty pavement became a reality.
Dunlap Street was also reconstructed last year by town forces.
This street was rebuilt utilizing the same standards that were incorporated into the Union Street construction.
DRAINAGE
Limited and isolated drainage construction was undertaken in the
past year. An old plank bridge on the Raymond Road was replaced with
Page seven
a large steelplate culvert thereby eliminating a load limit problem and
clearance hazard. A narrow portion of the Pleasant Hill Road widened
with the extension of a large culvert. A storm drain was installed on
Stone Street removing the flow of water from private land. A portion of
an old stone drain on Swett Street was replaced with concrete pipe
thereby increasing the capacity of the overall system in this area. A
drainage problem at the rear of the Fire Station parking lot was corrected with the installation of drain beds thus eliminating the "ponds"
that appeared after each heavy rain.
SI DEWALKS
The sidewalk program continued last year with a substantial
amount of work being accomplished on Longfellow Avenue. Many sections of the sidewalk on Pleasant Street received an overlay of new
pavement. Deteriorated sections of sidewalk on Federal Street received a new surface and this street will receive additional attention
in 1964.
STATE AID CONSTRUCTION
The only expenditure from this account was to purchase pipe for
the project planned for 1964 — Harpswell Street. This work will consist
of placing a new gravel base, drainage and pavement in the early
part of the summer.
The work program did not adapt itself to performing work in this
field this past year. Major work at various locations on the Thomas
Point Road and the Adams Road will be undertaken in 1964. These are
heavily traveled roads in the summer and maintenance cost will be reduced after they receive a paved surface.

Public Safety
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Personnel and Training. Departmental strength was increased in
1963 by the hiring of one additional regular officer, bringing the allowable strength to seventeen men including the chief. In addition, two
civilian clerk-dispatchers are utilized at the police desk.
One officer attended the basic Police Training School at Portland
for two weeks, and two officers attended a specialized Fingerprint
Training School. All officers completed the annual small arms 10-week
training course. In addition law enforcement meetings, seminars, and
F.B.I. conferences were attended by the men whenever possible.
Artiritlfs. Arrests declined over
, as compared with 1962, to a
total of 674, excluding juvenile arrests. Of these, 422 arrests (436 in
1962) were motor vehicle law violations and 252 arrests (284 in 1962)
were criminal law violations. Persons detained in the municipal cell
block by the Brunswick Police Department. State Police, and other
departments numbered 244.
.Juvenile court cases declined a welcome 33c this year to 63.
Larceny and malicious mischief continued to be the most prevalent
juvenile violations.
A percentage of fines collected in the Brunswick Court is returned
to the town by the county. This revenue amounted to nearly $3,350 in
1963.
Other departmental activities included the handling of 2,829 telephone calls, investigation of 565 complaints, issuing of nearly 7,700
tags for parking and other violations, and numerous other duties. The
two police cruisers traveled nearly 104,000 in the performance of departmental duties.
Late in 1963 a teletype machine was installed in police headquarters which is tied in with the Maine State Police and other major
Maine cities. It is expected that this system will aid in the quick and
complete distribution of police bulletin information.
Traffic and Accidents.
For the second year the number of reportable motor vehicle accidents decreased. The 387 accidents investigated represented a decrease
of 13 from the previous year. Unfortunately, one traffic fatality occurred as compared with none in the years 1961 and 1962. A sharp decline
was noted in the number of injuries due to traffic accidents, however
— 67 injuries contrasted with 133 injuries in 1962.
Page nine
Estimated damages resulting from motor vehicle accidents totalled about $102,000, a decrease of about $9,000 from 1962. February
was the largest accident month. Inattention and snow and ice are cited
as being the most common cause of accidents.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire calls decreased somewhat for the second year in a row.
Estimated fire loss returned nearly to the 1961 level, however, after a
very favorable experience in 1962. The 1963 estimated loss was
$79,847; the 1962 loss was $21,970. Other comparative departmental

Malicious false alarms
Unnecessary alarms
Fire warnings to the volunteer fire fighting force underwent the
first step of a drastic change. Fifteen units of a radio alerting system
were installed in the homes of firemen at a total cost of $1,554. These
are "tone-actuated" receivers which allow the central station dispatcher to give precise instructions to the volunteers before they leave the
house. This system supplements the air horn warning. Experience in
1963 indicates that excellent response to fire calls is resulting, and 17
more units are included in the 1964 budget.
The department was strengthened by the hiring of a daytime
civilian dispatcher. This man serves to release a regular fireman for
actual firefighting duties during the daytime hours when it is the
most difficult to obtain a good turnout of the volunteer force. One
other major personnel change involved the introduction of a "kelley
day" system which results in the average work week for a fireman being reduced from 84 duty hours to 76 duty hours.
Structural failures in two sections of the fire station floor caused
concern for the safety of the motor vehicle equipment. A citizens'
committee study indicated that the location of the station for the foreseeable future will not be changed. On the basis of this report, a decision was made to replace the defective concrete floor slabs. This was
accomplished under a construction contract of about $5,500.

CIVIL DEFENSE
The Civil Defense staff continued to participate in the regular
weekly county exercises.
The National Fallout Shelter Survey results for Brunswick were
received. As a result four locations have been marked for public shelter, agreement having been reached with the owners, and arrangements were made for stocking the shelters with the federal supplies.
The supplies had not arrived at the close of the year, however. The
buildings qualifying as suitable shelters are as follows, with the number of licensed shelter spaces indicated:
Seriter Building. Maine Street
88 spaces
U. S. Post Office, Pleasant Street
58 spaces
Verney Mill Building, Cabot Street

Recreation
The Brunswick Recreation Commission, during 1963, expanded,
consolidated and experimented, as they continued their efforts to provide the citizens of Brunswick with the best possible recreational
program for their tax dollar.
The most common yardstick used to evaluate a public service such
as that provided by the Recreation Commission, is the degree of participation. The majority of the Commission's activities have the
maximum capacity of participants within the limitations of available
facilities and leadership personnel. The Commission has attempted,
within the scope of its resources, to conduct a varied program for
people of all ages, throughout the year. Total recorded attendance for
1963 was 124,615.
Attendance in the girls gym class and the punt, pass, and kick
competition doubled during the past year. It might be interesting to
note that Brunswick had only fourteen fewer participants in the punt,
pass, and kick program than the City of Portland and that four of the
eight state awards, including two state championship trophies, were
won by local boys. The junior baseball program was expanded from ten
to sixteen teams during 1963.
Improvements to facilities included: relocation and enlargement
of the Center's weight lifting room, pine paneling of the girls powder
room and installation of a swing set and merry-go-round at Edwards
Field. In addition the Brunswick Junior Chamber of Commerce installed an accoustical tile ceiling in the game room and the Teen-age
Council purchased a set of outdoor basketball backstops for Edwards
Field.
In January, the Board of Selectmen turned the development of the
Coffin Pond Recreation Area over to the Commission. The Navy Seabees who had previously undertaken the development of the area as a
training project, were forced to give it up due to higher priority missions. The $3500.00 appropriated by the town for Coffin Pond was
used to develop a sandy swimming area and beach 200 feet by 100
feet. In addition, the road to the beach and a small parking area were
developed and the area immediately surrounding the pond was cleared
of brush and graded. Volunteer aid in clearing brush, by Teen-age
Council, Phi Delta Sigma and the Brunswick Jaycee members, enabled
the Commission to stretch their budget.
The Recreation Commission is planning a supervised swimming
program at Coffin Pond during 1964 and will cooperate with the Red
Cross in conducting swimming classes. Seeding the graded area and installation of temporary toilet facilities are scheduled also for this year.
The Commission consolidated its playground activities to its four
Page twelve
best locations. This enables them to improve leadership at each playground without increasing the budget. Success of the consolidation
could be measured in part by the total attendance increase from 12,57g
to 1:;,210 for the playground season. Elimination of the Summit Park
playground was done with much regret and only after it search for a
new usable area had failed.
New programs added during 191;:.1 included
summer track program, on' season basketball leagues, addition of it seventh and eighth
grade bzisketball league and women's swim sessions at Bowdoin College. The College and the Brunswick School Department, by allowing
generous use cf their facilities enable the Commission to offer a greater
variety of programs than would otherwise be possible.
The Commission lost a friend, supporter and volunteer leader
when an accident on August
191;:',, claimed the life of Raymond
Belanger. Belanger. although only tw e nty-on e, had be en connected
with the Recreation program for several years in many capacities.
N10-:t Lott-worthy wits his development of the Judo program into the
C'enter's most sucyessful activity of the past year. Parents of the Judo
participants have initiated a Raymond Belanger Memorial Scholarship
to be given annually to a student majoring in Recreation or Physical
Education who exemplifies outstanding leadership characteristics, while
taking part in activities at the Recreation Center.

Public Welfare
The Welfare Director assisted 232 cases involving 790 people during the 1963 year. In addition, the office many times made determinations that financial aid from the town was not required. Help is often
given people in making application for state assistance programs.
Total assistance cost for 1963 was $51,568. Of this total certain
sums were reimbursed by the State of Maine and by other towns making the net cost to the Town of Brunswick of $27,517.
State of Maine the sum of $12,875 as its 18% share of the state-administered Aid to Dependent Children for recipients having local welfare settlement. This represents an increase of only $60 over the previous year.
A fire in the building housing federal surplus foods disrupted this
program for two months. Serious consideration was given at this time
to discontinuing this program, but the final decision continued the program at a new location. During 1963 an average of 415 persons per
month received surplus food; the 1962 monthly average was 539. A
total of 65,781 pounds, or over 32 tons, of food was distributed.
Recent changes in eligibility requirements for the State Aid to
Dependent Children program will tend to increase local welfare costs.
A six month waiting period is now enforced against applicants in cases
of divorce, separation or desertion. The family must apply for local
welfare aid during this waiting period. It is expected that local expenses will mount accordingly.
Welfare administrative expenses were $7,176. Repairs to the townowned building which houses a home for the elderly cost $102.

Public Library Association
The librarian reports that 1963 has been a good year in many
ways. Our circulation shows an increase of 2.919 over the preceding
year and in spite of the fact that the individual schools in the community are maintaining their own libraries and adding, yearly, to their
book collections: the books loaned to them showed a slight increase
over last year.
The total number of hooks loaned by the library was 101,732,
divided as follows:
Fiction .
28,894
Non-fiction .
• 22,538
.Juvenile
.
• 29,170
Schools
21,130
The number of hooks purchased during the year was 928, of which
3o7 were adult fiction, 221 adult non-fiction, and 400 juvenile.
It is interesting to note from the survey made by the Maine State
Library in 1962, that the circulation of books in the Brunswick Library as compared with cities and towns of comparable size, was approximately 60'; higher.
The number of new and re-registrations issued during the year
was 1068.
As new books are added to our c dlection, it is the custom to weed
out old and out-dated hooks and thi was done this year as usual with
875 volumes being discarded.
Again this year. the Girl Scout Council made a special gift to the
library of $200.00 for the use of space for their Scout activities
throughout the school year.
The usual yearly repairs to the building itself were made. A new
catalog cabinet of 60 drawers was added in the main lobby as well as a
Vinyl floor. A depository for hooks was provided for patrons unable to return books during the library hours. This has proved of great
convenience to many of the patrons of the library.
In the Spring, a loan of photographs from the Portland Press
Herald was made and these were on display in the Director's Room
for several weeks. The pictures depicted "Living in Maine" scenes and
gave the Brunswick public an opportunity to enjoy the work of Maine
artists.
During the year, the library hours were changed to the following: 12 noon until 8 p.m — Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m.
until 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The sevice provided during the lunch and
dinner hours has proved most convenient to our patrons. Summer hours
new
are: Monday through Thursday — 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. 8 p.m. Closed Saturdays.

One institutional i non-taxable) permit was issued for $90,000
for a hospital addition. Major taxable structures commenced during
1963 include the shopping center on the former railroad station site,
a new hank building on Maine Street, and fuel oil depot on Pleasant
Street.
Building permits are required for construction anywhere within
the town boundaries, and are obtai.ied from the Building Inspector.
When planning the construction, a'teration, or moving of a building,
always consult with the Building Inspector to assure compliance with
building and zoning regulations.
the Zoning Ordinance. Forty-six cases were investigated by the Building Inspector for violation of zoning requirements and corrections
ordered. Considerable success was realized in gaining the removal of
unsightly junk auto bodies.
The Zoning Board of Appeals is authorized to make decisions on
certain matters beyond the control of the Building Inspector, and is
also the body to which appeals from decisions of the Building Inspector
are taken. The Board held 12 meetings and considered 31 appeals during the year; 13 appeals were denied and the balance granted.

Planning Board
The Planning Board, consisting of five members and two associate
members, held 16 meetings during 1963. The Board was concerned with
several matters vital to the orderly growth of Brunswick.
The revision and strengthening of the Subdivision Ordinance,
which was commenced the previous year, was continued. The new
ordinance was presented to a special town meeting in October, after
much committee work, and was approved. In a similar manner, several
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance were recommended by the Board
to town meeting and approval of the voters obtained.
Considerable time was spent investigating the desirability of allowing two-way traffic on a portion of Pleasant Street. The ultimate
decision resulted in no change in the traffic pattern.
Study committees resulted from two areas of Planning Board
interest : A Seacoast Recreation Committee is presently investigating
possible areas for public access to the coast and an excellent report was
submitted by a Chamber of Commerce sub-committee relative to the
need and cost of establishing a small general aviation airport in the
area. Cooperation from the Maine Aeronautics Commission and the
Federal Aviation Agency has been promised to develop further airport
information.
The Planning Board revived the Harpswell Causeway project. It
was felt that the eventual construction of the causeway was important
to the economies of Brunswick and Harpswell, and required by the
long range traffic circulation plan for the area. In as much as the
present situation was caused by expansion of the Naval Air Station,
attempts are being made to gain federal support for the project.
As the year ended, consideration was being given to the need for
reviewing the Brunswick Building Code adopted in 1954. A study
committee is being formed to investigate the need for modernizing the
Code, and recommendations may be available for action in 1964.

No increase in the $36.70 tax rate was required for 1963. This
was possible, even though the gross budget increased about 8'; , because cf increases in revenues from other sources, and because the
assessors were able to determine an increase in the taxable property of
nearly 2C over the previous year.

32,510.08
$71,728.87
The major unexpended balance occurred principally in the overlay,
general highway maintenance, and contingent funds. The larger overdrafts were in the winter highway maintenance and tax abatements
accounts.
The actual revenue amounted to $943,612.08, as compared with an
estimate of $911,102.00 for the year. The additional revenue was received principally from automobile excise taxes, State of Maine school

various operating account balances which are carried forward to the

The unappropriated surplus amounted to $222,416.06, an increase of

Report Of The
The Brunswick Sewer District completed its sixteenth year of
incorporation in good financial condition. It was not a year of extensive
construction, but rather a year of small improvements and planning
for future progress.
TREATMENT PLANT PLANNING
As reported last year, preliminary planning for the construction
of a sewage treatment plant, as required by the Maine Water Improvement Commission has been completed. Brunswick is required to commence construction by 1970. The Trustees voted to request that the
Water Improvement Commission schedule matching funds for the
Brunswick project for the 1966-67 fiscal year. Construction will be
planned to commence at that time, dependent upon the actual availability of state and federal matching funds.
In connection with the treatment plant project, two small pumping
stations must be constructed on Mill Street. The location of one of
these stations will require the acquisition of a parcel of privately
owned land. Negotiations for this purchase were commenced in 1963,
but had not been completed by the end of the year.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
A decision was made to serve Hennessey Avenue extension after
an engineering study indicated that it was possible. Excellent construction conditions helped keep the expense less than the estimate.
This project eliminated many septic tanks which had been causing
nuisance conditions due to high ground water in the area.
Construction details are as follows:

Plans for the reconstruction by the town of a portion of Harpswell Street southerly from Old Gurnet Road intersection in 1964 were
brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees. The need for sewer
service in this area had been recognized by the Board for many years;
if the project were to be done at all, it should be coordinated with the
proposed reconstruction project. An engineering and cost study indiPage forty-eight
cated (1) that a small pumping station and force line will be required,
and k21 that estimated revenues would not justify the complete cost
of the project under the usual application of the construction formula.
The Board felt that the general public welfare warranted that the cost
of the pumping station not be considered as a charge against the project, however. On this basis the Board voted to approve the project, and
construction is therefore planned for 1964.
FINANCES
Operating revenues showed a healthy increase of about 4 over
the previous year to a total of $106,517.17. Operating expenses increased only about $360.00 for the year, and thus net operating income increased over $3,600.00 to a total of $52,057.18. After deductions for bond and interest payments and treatment plant reserve, the
net income of the district was $12,377.16.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000.00 were retired, and interest
totalling $10,385.00 was paid, reducing the bonded indebtedness of the
district to $330,000.00.
Sufficient funds were available from the year's operations to
enable the trustees to vote the sum of $20,000 to the Reserve for
Treatment Plant. A total of $60,000, plus accumulated interest of
$1,420.16, is now available to help meet the anticipated construction
cost of the proposed sewage treatment plant.
GENERAL
Plans for the installation of a third pump at the Mere Brook
pumping station have progressed, and the installation should be completed in time for the 1964 spring thaw. Heavy storm water infiltration
from the Bowdoin Park area has necessitated this step.
The 1963 Maine Legislature considered a bill which would have
placed all sewer districts under the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities
Commission. The Brunswick Sewer District joined with a number of
other districts in opposing this legislation on the basis that no public
purpose would be served. Sewage disposal is already under the control
of the Water Improvement Commission, and additional controls would
be unnecessary and unfortunate. The district argument was also predicated on the basis that the P.U.C. was established to control private
monopolies, and that most, if not all, sewer districts are not private
monopolies but are owned by the people. The legislation did not pass.
As the end of the year approached, the district legal advisor,
Clement F. Robinson, was forced to submit his resignation for reasons
Page forty-nine
of health. The Board accepted his resignation with deep regret. Mr.
Robinson had prepared the Charter establishing the powers of the
district, and had served the district as legal advisor throughout its
sixteen years of growth.
The district added 36 new services during 1963 to bring the total
to 1998.

the financial statements contained in this report correctly reflects
the condition of the District for the year ending December 31, 1963.
Paid coupons in the amount of $10,462.50 and paid bonds in the
amount of $10,000.00 were destroyed.

FORT GEORGE
The year 1965 is the 250th anniversary of the erection of
Fort George, described as follows in Wheeler's "History of
Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell," p. 627:
"The erection of this fort was commenced by Captain
Bohn Gyles in the month of August, 1715, on the ledge of
rocks at the Northern end of Maine Street. . . . It was
completed in the December following.
"The walls of the fort were very thick and the stones
were laid in mortar. It was finished with two bastions
and two half bastions, with flanks on the top sufficient
for cannon. . . .
"This fort effectually resisted the aggressions of the Indians, and protected all the dwellings within reach of its
cannon...."

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Brunswick:
The Annual Report for the year 1964, covering the 226th year of
incorporation as a town, is hereby presented. The 16th annual report
of the Brunswick Sewer District is also included.
Your town government, often taken for granted, is a complex
operation involving an annual budget of nearly $2,500,000 and over
350 employees. These employees are skilled in their work, proud of
their public service, and carry out their duties quietly and effectively.
Another year of accomplishment can be claimed for 1964, and certain of these accomplishments are noted briefly on the following page
entitled "Highlights of 1964."
The fiscal condition of the town at the close of the year was excellent. Revenues exceeded estimates by $50,363, and expenditures
were held below town meeting authorizations by $63,334. The result
was a small unexpected increase in the unappropriated surplus account
to a total of $228,754. A portion of this surplus will be used to maintain the 1965 tax rate at $36.70 for the fourth consecutive year.
It is hoped that this report will stimulate more active interest in
municipal affairs by our citizens. It is only by active effective
participation by all that greater progress can be realized.

Public Works
The Public Works Department maintained a high level of activity in 1964 with major construction being accomplished on Elm
Street, Harpswell Street and Baribeau Drive. The municipal parking
lot at the rear of the fire station was expanded and an exit to Cumberland Street constructed.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Country roads received the major portion of the tar and asphalt
applied in the past year. Numerous gravel roads were paved for the
first time thereby reducing the maintenance required and also ending
the dust problem. Bituminous concrete pavement was placed on Bath
Road and on Harpswell Street. Several heavily travelled intersections
around town also received a layer of bituminous concrete.
Baribeau Drive was completed from McKeen Street to Peary
Drive. All that remains is some cleanup work and the final layer of
pavement. This now provides additional means of access not only to
the hospital but to the schools.
Paved sidewalks were constructed on Federal Street and in the
lower mall. Many trouble areas throughout town were repaired and a
new surface placed on a portion of the Maine Street sidewalk.
A contract to reconstruct Elm Street in its entirety was awarded
to Harry C. Crooker and Sons in May. New storm drainage was installed the length of the project with a lateral to the intersection of
Middle and Everett Streets. The old base was removed and a 24 inch
gravel base was placed under the high-type bituminous concrete pavement laid by Granite Paving Co. Granite curbing was set throughout
and a bituminous concrete sidewalk constructed on the northerly side
of the street. Two buildings were altered during the course of construction to permit the street to he constructed to its optimum width.
Harpswell Street reconstruction totalling 3,600 feet was undertaken as the State Aid project for 1964. Storm drainage was installed
along the full length of the portion reconstructed. The concrete box
culvert at Mere Brook was replaced with 100 feet of 72" metal culvert.
The grade of the road at Mere Brook was raised a maximum of eight
feet thereby eliminating a road hazard. A bituminous surface treatment pavement was placed over the full length of the project with a
Page seven
final treatment scheduled for 1965. Bituminous concrete curbing was
run along most of the project, defining the travelled way. A sidewalk
was constructed along the easterly side to Coffin's Market. The Sewer
and Water District installed new mains thereby upgrading all underground utilities.
Funds were expended in two locations from this account to improve grade and alignment.
On the Adams Road, a 20 foot extension was placed on an existing
72 irch culvert to allow the roadway to be relocated up to 30 feet
northerly thereby correcting a bad alignment problem. More work is
planned on this road in the coming year to eliminate a bad curve.
The Thomas Point Road received attention in the vicinity of the
Oakes property. The alignment and grade were improved with the
removal of 230 yards of ledge. Fill was placed on the roadway northerly from the ledge area and in the spring additional work will be
performed here. When all the gravel base work has been accomplished
the road will be tarred.
DRAINAGE
Major storm drainage construction was undertaken only in conjunction with major street rebuilding projects, Elm Street and Harpswell Street. A new piece of equipment purchased in 1964, a hydraulic
catch basin cleaner, greatly aided in the proper maintenance of the
catch basins in that all of the basins were cleaned for the first time
ever in one year! In the process many structural deficiencies in the
basins were discovered and repairs were made.

Personnel and Training. Departmental strength stands at seventeen
officers, including two sergeants, a lieutenant, and the chief. In addition, three civilian clerk-dispatchers are utilized at the police desk, and
seven school crossing guides serve during the school year.
More emphasis was placed on training in 1964. All officers participated in the annual small arms training course for two weeks. Two
officers attended a three-day Command and Staff School; one officer
took part in a Traffic and Safety Clinic in Augusta ; the lieutenant
attended a seminar at Boston University on forensic medicine in death
cases: two officers studied the approach to juvenile problems by two
other Maine departments ; two officers commenced training in underwater search and rescue; and two of the new men completed the twoweek Basic Police Training School at Portland. The usual law enforcement meetings and F.B.I. seminars were attended.

The second annual decrease in juvenile cases was welcomed, although larceny was still the most common juvenile offense.
The usual departmental activities included the issuing of about
7,800 tags for parking and other traffic violations, the handling of
4,030 telephone calls, the issuing of 617 bicycle licenses, and other
duties too varied and numerous to mention. The two police cruisers
traveled nearly 112,000 miles in the performance of departmental
duties.

The most prevalent cause of accidents listed in the officers' reports were inattention and exceeding a safe speed. December took
the lead from February as being the month with the most accidents.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Several serious fires during 1964 proved the benefits of the mutual
aid agreements with neighboring towns and armed forces facilities.
The regular and volunteer firemen performed most capably in combatting several serious fires. The most spectacular fires included a
loss on the thirteenth floor of the Bowdoin Senior Center, the Medical
Center fire, a poultry house on Harpswell Street, and two grocery
stores.
Total estimated loss for 1964 was $300,600, as compared with
$79,850 in 1963. Other comparative departmental statistics indicate
a busy year:

Personnel and Training. One additional regular fireman was authorized and hired in 1964 allowing full strength on both shifts. The introduction of the "Kelly Day" the previous year had reduced on-duty
hours from 84 hours per week to 76 hours per week but had resulted
in one weak shift. Departmental strength now stands at nine regular
firemen, two captains and the chief. In addition, the call force numbers
thirty-one dedicated men.
Regular day to day training of the permanent firemen is carried
on by a designated instructor. In addition, three men attended a school
at the Boston Fire Academy on fighting oil and chemical fires, and an
officers' seminar in Augusta was attended by the three officers. Thirteen drill sessions were held for the call men.
A drill field is under construction at the site of the former town
dump on Water Street.
Equipment. The 1954 Jeep utility vehicle was replaced by a new 4wheel drive Jeep pick-up truck. This equipment is valuable for brush

fire work, hauling hose and supplies, patrolling, fire alarm cable work,
and numerous odd jobs.
Seventeen additional units of a radio alerting system were installed in the homes of firemen at a cost of $1,675. These units were
approved after the very successful use of fifteen similar units the
previous year. This system enables the central station dispatcher to
give precise instructions to the volunteers before they leave home.
Purchase of a 1,000 gallon pumping engine must be planned in
1965 to replace the• 19-16 pumper. The old pumper must then he kept
operational as a reserve piece in accordance with requirements of the
N. E. Board of Fire Lnderwriters. To accommodate the additional
equipment an enlargement of central fire station is a necessity and
is being planned.

Planning Board
Under Maine law, before a municipality may act for the purpose
of municipal development, a Planning Board must be established. The
Brunswick Planning Board consists of five members and two associate
members. Eighteen meetings were held in 1964.
Studies in several areas were continued by the Board. A Building
Code Revision Committee was activated in 1964, and a report from
this committee is anticipated in 1965. A study of the possible development of a small general aviation airport for Brunswick will result in
some specific recommendations by the study committee in 1965.
The Harpswell Causeway project was revived by the Board in
1963, as it was considered to be important to the long range economies
of both Harpswell and Brunswick. Because the present situation was
caused by expansion of the Naval Air Station, the congressional delegation has been approached to gain federal financing, if possible, for
the project. A bill has been introduced in Congress which would accomplish this if passed.
The major zoning change considered by the Board was an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance permitting certain directional signs.
which was subsequently enacted at a special town meeting. Also proposed, and enacted, was an amendment to the Trailer Ordinance allowing camping trailers and campers in licensed camping grounds.
As usual, the matter of parking and traffic circulation in "downtown" came in for much consideration. The major proposal approved
by the Board resulted in the acquisition of property on Cumberland
Street to allow the expansion of the Fire Station parking lot, and to
allow access to the lot from Cumberland Street. The Board also gave
approval to the proposal for additional islands in the center of Maine
Street. The dual-purpose islands will not only provide better protection to pedestrians but also allow more greenery.
As the year ended, the chairman of the Planning Board appointed
sub-committees to study Downtown Traffic and also Recreational and
Park Areas.

Building Inspection And Zoning
The construction of single-family residences continued at much
the same level as in recent years with 40 permits being issued. It is
interesting to note, however, that the average declared value of new
house permits in 1964 was $13,770, or 19% above the 1963 average
declared value.

the Zoning Ordinance. Twenty-two alleged violations of the ordinance
were investigated by the Building Inspector. All have been resolved
except two which were pending before the Zoning Board of Appeals
at the end of the year.
Zoning Board of Appeals. This board must make decisions on certain
matters beyond the control of the Building Inspector, and is also the
body to which appeals from decisions of the Building Inspector are
taken. The Board held 12 meetings and considered 49 appeals ( 31
appeals in 1963), of which 28 were granted, 20 denied, and one decision
was pending at the end of the year.
Note: When planning the construction, alteration, or moving of a building, or use of property, always consult with
the Building Inspector to assure compliance with building
and zoning regulations.

The Public Library
In 1964 the Brunswick Public Library completed its 81st year of
service to the residents of the community. Originally established in
1883 and located in the old Town Hall, the library moved in 1903 to
the Curtis Memorial Library on Pleasant Street, the building and
grounds having been given to the Town by William J. Curtis as a
memorial to his father Captain .John Curtis.
In 1964 the library was supported by the income from various
sources: trust funds amounting to $3,800, the Town appropriation
of $11,200, the State stipend of $200, fines, fees from non-resident
members and gifts $1,036. The chief expenditures were: staff salaries
$8,852, books and periodicals $3,298, operation and maintenance $2,610,
repairs to the building $1,460.
The total circulation of 97,839 was divided as follows:
Fiction
Non Fiction
Juvenile
Schools
29,043
22,433
28,953
17,410
Because of the enlarged school libraries fewer books were loaned
to the school classes. This accounts for the decrease in total circulation.
There were 1,603 new and re-registrations. 953 new books were
acquired.
A new service added during the past year is the processing of requests for books from the State Library in Augusta.
A book depository was installed for return of books when the
library is not open.
The library grounds are maintained by funds from a trust fund.
The Nathaniel Davis Fund
The Town of Brunswick has the benefit of a bequest made
in 1933 by Samuel Gross Davis as a memorial to his father,
Nathaniel Davis. The income from this bequest, known as the
Nathaniel Davis Fund, shall be used each year for "the pleasure
of its inhabitants as the government of Brunswick of that year
shall decide."
The 1964 income was expended as follows:

Recreation
The Brunswick Recreation Commission opened its newest recreational facility, Coffin Pond, during 1964. Supervision was provided for
the beach developed in 1963 and temporary toilet facilities installed.
After the swimming season, the pond bottom was scraped and brush
cleared to make way for a picnic area on the south side of the pond.
Utilizing $2600 given by the Davis Fund for the supervision and
maintenance of Coffin Pond, the Commission serviced over 13,000
visits to the area during the summer. More than 400 took part in the
Red Cross instructional program conducted for six weeks during the
mornings. Weekly water samples tested by the Department of Health
and Welfare proved the water to be satisfactory for swimming.
American Legion baseball, backed financially by the George T.
Files Legion Post and Goodwin's Chevrolet, provided boys between
the ages of 16 and 18 the opportunity to participate in a summer baseball program. Another new activity, girls ponytail softball, was added
to the summer program. Together, the junior baseball, Babe Ruth
League, American Legion and softball league registered 452 participants, to keep the diamonds at Edwards Field busy seven days a week.
The Babe Ruth League capped its fourth season by hosting the 1964
State Tournament which attracted 1700 participants and fans during
the four day event.
Attendance at the four Brunswick playgrounds totaled 11,392.
Ninety-three received tennis instruction at the Bowdoin courts. Other
summer activities included the learn-to-swim program at the Bowdoin
pool, supervised track program, golf lessons, teen-age dances and the
return of the annual fishing derby. Sixty boys and girls had the
thrill of hooking a fish during the one day derby held at Coffin Pond.
Fall programs sponsored by the Commission included ballroom
dancing lessons, a baseball umpires clinic, girls gym classes, football
clinics and the punt, pass and kick competition, visits to the Bowdoin
football games through the Recreation Department's knothole gang,
Halloween craft classes and the Halloween window painting contest.
Basketball was king during the winter months at the Recreation
Center. Weekly instruction was given third and fourth graders. Fifth
graders enter league competition between schools. The Commission
and the junior high school combine to provide all 6, 7 and 8 graders
the opportunity to play basketball. The pre-season Earlybird league
and the Recreation league were formed for high school boys. The
first seventh and eighth grade girls basketball team from St. John's
school brought the girls into the program. For the second consecutive
year, Topsham boys utilized the Recreation Commission facilities for
basketball.

Craft classes, adult women's recreation night, rifle range program, baton lessons, teen-age jam sessions, table tennis tournaments
and the annual basketball awards ceremony featured the Commission's
winter program. Adult ballroom dancing lessons was a successful new
activity. The Commission's ice skating area on the town mall became
overcrowded and with the help of the Brunswick Jaycees, a skating
area at Edwards Field was developed.
Early spring found the Recreation staff preparing the grammar
school boys for the annual Elks Club relay races. Tournaments,
whiffleball and kickball programs were conducted before activities
moved outdoors.
Programs popular throughout the indoor season included the
Center's play school, men and women's swimming sessions at Bowdoin, teen-age dances and free play. Free play was responsible for
26.896 visits to the Center. Anyone who drops into the Center to take
part in one or more activities of their choice or in a low organized program such as a ping pong tournament are recorded as free play participants.
New lockers and clothes baskets were purchased for the dressing
rooms last spring by our Teen-age Council. A flag and flag pole, donated by the Knights of Pythias, was installed at Edwards Field. The
caps and shirts worn proudly by the junior baseball players were purchased by the Jaycees and the Knights of Columbus. Many "friends of
recreation" are affiliated as manager. coach, umpire, official or sponsor
in the local Babe Ruth program. The Commission is grateful to the
organizations mentioned above and to the many others who work with
the Commission or independently throughout the year to provide recreational opportunities for the citizens of Brunswick.
The recorded attendance at your recreation facilities during 1964
totaled 128,457. Attendance records show participation at all facilities
during the supervised periods. They do not include attendance at the
outdoor facilities such as the skating areas, Edwards Field, and Coffin
Pond when a supervisor is not present.
Improvements planned for Coffin Pond during 1965 include enlarging the beach area, providing a float and diving platform and extending the supervised swimming periods. The tennis program, hampered by lack of space, will be improved by utilizing the three new
courts at the high school. The girls softball program is scheduled to
be expanded and the Commission will open the Center to teen-agers
two evenings a week during the summer. Newcomers are always
welcome to join the recreation p?ograms and are encouraged to visit
their facilities often and discuss with the staff their "leisure time
interests."

Public Welfare
The furnishing of welfare assistance is the basic responsibility
of your local government as assisted by other levels of government.
Relief in Brunswick is administered by a Welfare Director assisted
by a clerk-secretary. Statistics indicate fewer people required aid in
1964, but the cost rose slightly:

$51,568
$27,527
The difference between 'total assistance cost' and 'Brunswick taxpayer cost' above is reimbused to Brunswick either by the State of
Maine or by other communities.
State of Maine the sum of $11,040 as its 18% share of the stateadministered Aid to Dependent Children program for recipients having
Brunswick welfare settlement. This represents a decrease of $1,835
below the previous year, and is probably caused by more stringent
eligibility regulations. These same more stringent regulations, however, tend to place a greater burden on the local welfare appropriation.
For several years, the Welfare Director has handled the distribution of federal surplus foods, although to qualify for surplus food a
family need not be a welfare recipient. Eligibility requirements were
made more stringent in 1964 reducing the number of people eligible
for the food. Administrative requirements were also increased. During 1964 an average of 333 persons per month received surplus food:
the 1963 monthly average was 415. A total of 25,970 pounds, or 13
tons, of food was distributed. The cost of the program was $1,500.
Welfare administrative expenses were $7,470. Repairs to the
town-owned building which houses a home for the elderly cost $849,
mainly for a complete installation of aluminum storm windows.

diphtheria. Two new restaurants and eight, that had either moved or
changed ownership, were inspected for Victualers Licenses. Fiftyone previously established eating places were approved for renewal of
licenses. All infectious diseases occurring within the Town, which
are reported to the Health Officer, were transmitted to the State
Health and Welfare Office for tabulation in the Vital Statistics. Investigation of calls regarding health hazards, violation of State and
Town Health Ordinances, and numerous complaints of nuisances, were
investigated, handled, or referred to other authorities for action, advice, or abatement.

Tax Assessment And Collection
For the third year Brunswick maintained its tax rate at $36.70.
This was possible, even though the gross budget increased 6.5% over
1963, because of increases in revenues from other sources, and because
the assessors were able to determine an increase in the taxable property of over 3% above the previous year.

Two long-term borrowings were authorized by Town Meeting in
1964. Notes totalling $24,000, to be amortized over six years, were sold
to finance expansion of the Fire Station parking lot. Borrowing in
the amount of $18,500 to provide for the expansion of the Hawthorne
School lot will be accomplished in 1965.
The total outstanding indebtedness was reduced by $84,500, leaving the general obligation debt outstanding on December 31, 1964 at
$1,364,000. The legal constitutional debt limit for Brunswick is
$3,006,000.
Tax anticipation borrowings totalling $1,000,000 at interest rates
of 1.95c; and 2,00' , were completely repaid at the end of the year.
Interest payments on all borrowings cost Brunswick $46,764.20 in 1964,

COMMENTS
Town of Brunswick
I
An audit has been completed of the financial records of the Town
of Brunswick for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1964. The audit
consisted of an examination of the records maintained under the supervision of the Town Manager and municipal officials.
The fiscal year's operations showed a net gain of $132,851.60
which was accounted for as follows:
Unexpended Balances
Overdrafts
Gain for Year
$ 96,888.28
14,399.84
82,488.44
50,363.16
$132,851.60
The unexpended balances occu Ted principally in the overlay, education instruction, general highway maintenance and contingent funds.
The larger overdrafts were in the fire department and abatement
accounts.
The actual revenue amounted to $1,028,793.16, as compared with
an estimate of $978,430.00 for the year. The additional revenue was
received principally from automobile excise taxes, State of Maine and
Federal subsidies and tuition.

ASSETS . . . The cash balance of $134,585.23 which included
the general account of $132,209.56 and special funds totaling $1,950.67
were on deposit in various banks. Change funds of $425.00 were on
hand.
Accounts receivable totaling $16,007.42 were comprised principally of reimbursable expenditures for welfare due from the State
of Maine and municipalities.
Page thirty-sepen
Taxes receivable totaling $95,177.77 consisted for the most part
of current year accounts of $79,289.94. The remaining balance of
$15,887.83 was for prior years' accounts dating from 1955. Tax liens
and tax acquired property amounted to $7,046.37 and $4,494.57
respectively.
LIABILITIES, RESERVES AND SURPLUS . . . Accounts pay
able totaling $6,940.07 represented unpaid charges applicable to the
current year.
The appropriation accounts showed an unexpended balance of
$13,161.59 representing various operating account balances which are
carried forward to the ensuing year in accordance with legal requirements and; or customary practice.
Other reserve accounts include the special funds for school construction and recreation activities, tax receipts held in escrow and
proceeds from sale of the Thompson Street lot.
The unappropriated surplus amounted to $228,753.68, an increase
of $6,337.62 for the year. This change was occasioned principally by
the excess of actual revenue over estimated and the net unexpended
departmental balance lapsed, less authorized transfers to various
operating accounts and to estimated revenue.
DEBT FUND . . . The debt fund, incorporated in the balance
sheet as a separate fund, reflects outstanding serial notes of $182.000.00 and bonds of $1,182,000.00 which mature during the ensuing
seventeen years at varying interest rates.
The sinking fund reserve totaled $6,864.57 at the year end. The
amount of $7,445.00 was expended from this account during the year
to retire school addition notes and interest.
TRUST AND RESERVE FUNDS . . . Trust fund principals
amounted to $128,526.85, unexpended income of $5,068.55, and net
gain of $2,101.10 on exchange of securities. The funds are invested
for the most part in various stocks and bonds.

replacement, totaled $8,178.69. This fund is on deposit in various
local banks.
DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTS . . . The departmental operating accounts showed an increase of $48,278.15 in funds raised by taxation, as compared with the preceding year. Larger appropriations for

application of increased estimated revenue.
The departmental balances carried forward to the ensuing year
increased by $4,869.64 as compared with balances at the start of the
year. This change occurred principally in special highway construction accounts.
meter revenue for the payment of notes on the Bank Street Parking
Lot. Authorization was also granted to transfer surplus funds to
various operating accounts.

authorized to issue notes in the amount of $24,000.00 for the purpose
of acquiring land and extending the Fire Station Parking Lot.

Sewer District since its incorporation.

Physical and financial progress again seemed to be the keynote of
the Brunswick Sewer District during its seventeenth year of incorporation.
Concrete action was taken by the trustees to insure that the district will meet the treatment plant construction time table established
by the Maine Water Improvement Commission. The engineering firm
of Metcalf & Eddy, Boston, was retained to prepare the final construction plans and specifications. Completion of the plans is scheduled for
the fall of 1965. Construction will commence in the Spring of 1966,
assuming the availability of State and Federal matching funds.
Three small pumping stations must be constructed to lift some
of the sewage to the treatment plant. Negotiations have commenced
to acquire a lot of land on Water Street from the Town of Brunswick
as the site of one station. Two stations will be located on the river side
of Mill Street on land to be acquired by the State of Maine in connection with the proposed reconstruction of Mill Street. This arrangement
has been agreed to by the State Highway Commission, and will eliminate the necessity of the district taking private property in the area
for this purpose.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
The need for sanitary sewer service along Harpswell Road has
been long recognized by the district. Cost estimates had always been
prohibitive, but recent developments in the design of "package" pumping stations changed the picture and made the project possible. The
need to coordinate the project with the planned reconstruction of
Harpswell Road also provided an incentive. The sewage pumping station is located underground adjacent to Mere Brook from which the
sewage is pumped northerly through 2,340 feet of 6" force main. Other
construction details include the installation of 210 feet of 10" gravity
flow sewer main between Longfellow Avenue and Chamberlain Avenue,
and the installation of 2,996 feet of 8" main from Chamberlain Avenue
to the pumping station. Total project cost of $30,003.85 was well within the estimate.
The success of the Harpswell Street project encouraged the trustees to schedule installation of *ewer service along Old Gurnet Road
and Hambleton Avenue in 1965.
FINANCES
Operating revenues continued the trend of annual increases. The
Page forty-nine
1964 revenue total of $110,882.44 was about 4.1% above the previous
year. Operating expenses decreased by $972; net operating income
increased about $5,237 as compared with 1963, to a total of $57,294.60.
After deductions for bond and interest payments and treatment plant
reserve, the net income of the district was $13,057.49.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000.00 were retired, and interest totalling $10,075.00 was paid, reducing the bonded indebtness of the district to $320,000.00.
Sufficient funds were available from the years' operations to enable the trustees to vote the sum of $25,000 to the Reserve for Treatment Plant. A total of $85,000, plus accumulated interest of $3,087.13
is now .vailable to help meet the anticipated construction cost of the
proposed sewage treatment plant.
GENERAL
District legal advisor, Clement F. Robinson, was forced to resign
at the end of 1963 because of ill health. The trustees found an able replacement with the appointment early in 1964 of Brunswick attorney
Leon L. Spinney.
As reported last year, plans were formulated for the installation
of a third pump at the Mere Brook, Maine Street, pumping station to
help handle a heavy infiltration of ground water during storms. The
pump was installed and placed in operation during the summer of 1964
at a cost of $4,372.82.
A situation involving the possible need to take land for district
purposes lead to a decision that the Brunswick Sewer District Charter needed clarification on the procedure to be followed. Accordingly a
charter amendment will be proposed to the 102nd Legislature for enactment.
The district added a net of five new services during 1964 to bring
the total to 2,003.
The possibility of taking over operation of the Navy sewage treatment plant near Cook's Corner in order to provide service to the Cook's
Corner area was considered. The proposal was discarded as not being
in the best interests of the district.
at 4:00 P.M. and welcome the attendance of anyone who may wish to
discuss sewage matters.

The Annual Report for the year 1965 covering the 227th year
of incorporation as a town is hereby presented. The 17th annual
This has been an eventful year for Brunswick. The matter of
finding a permanent location for the public dumping site, which had
concerned the municipal officers and the citizenry for many months
and several town meetings, was settled. Progressive steps were taken
by the municipal officers, the industrial development committee, and
citizens assembled in town meeting to assure the construction of
modern industrial and commercial facilities. Brunswick's economic
base will be permanently benefited, and future growth in the healthy
area economy can be foreseen.
The Brunswick tax rate remained unchanged for the fourth successive year; the town once again completed the year in sound fiscal
condition. Revenues exceeded estimates by $49,089, and expenditures
were held below town meeting authorizations by $65,010. At the year's
end the Unappropriated Surplus stood at a total of $218,431. A portion
of this surplus will be used to meet 1966 expenses.
The progress mentioned in this report could not have been
achieved without the untiring efforts of many people, including the
municipal officers, employees, members of boards and commissions,
and the many private citizens who take an interest in their community.

Public Works
The Public Works Department continued to change the appearance
of the Town with work accomplished on Park Row, Weymouth Street,
Spring Street, McKeen Street and Curtis Street. Portions of the
Thomas Point Road and Woodward Point Road were rebuilt along with
complete rebuilding of the Storer Road. A contract was awarded to
Harry Crooker and Sons for the construction of an access road to the
new Standard Romper building off Church Road and work was essentially complete at the end of the year.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The purchase of a roadway paving machine made possible the
placing of cold paving material on many streets thereby improving the
riding quality of these streets. More areas will receive this treatment
in lieu of a tarring operation. Bituminous concrete pavement was
placed on a second section of the Bath Road and also on Pleasant
Street.
In view of the amount of work added to the work program after
the budget was essentially complete, the sidewalk program did not get
completed. Increased emphasis will be placed on sidewalks in 1966
because many areas have no sidewalks at all.
Work was begun on Park Row in the latter part of April; this
work being possible with a grant from Bowdoin College. A short section of College Street was rebuilt in conjunction with the Park Row
project, thereby improving the entrance onto Maine Street. A new
gravel base replaced the old base and a bituminous concrete surface
was applied. Granite curbing was installed throughout the project
which will hinder operators of motor vehicles from driving on the mall.
Weymouth Street between Union and Spring Streets also received
a facelifting job in 1965. New storm drainage was installed the full
length of the project. A 24 inch gravel base with bituminous concrete
surface replaced the old roadway. Bituminous concrete curbing was
placed on both sides, with a 5 foot bituminous concrete sidewalk on
the southerly side.
Work was completed on a section of the Thomas Point Road started last year. The portion completed by the Oakes property corrected a
bad alignment problem and is now surfaced. The remaining gravel
portion of this road will receive a paved surface in 1966.
Page seven
NEW PAVING MACHINE
Widening and drainage work commenced in the late fall on the
Woodward Point Road and further work is planned in 1966. This road
is very narrow and has poor alignment. Upon completion of the new
base this road will also receive a paved surface.
STORM DRAINAGE
Major storm drainage work was undertaken in the High School
area. A large pipe installed in conjunction with the Weymouth Street
rebuilding job served as a trunk line serving this area. Catch basins
were constructed along Spring Street to a point 200 feet southerly of
McKeen Street: along Weymouth Street from Spring Street to Curtis
Street: and on McKeen Street from a point 300 feet east of Spring
Street to a point beyond the drive into the High School. This project
allowed the Town to remove several catch basins now entering the
sanitary sewers and also corrected some areas that were prone to
minor floods in times of heavy rains.
SANITARY DIVISION
Work was begun on the erection of the cone burner at the new
dump site at the rear of the present site late in the summer. Delivery
Page eight
of steel delayed the starting of this project but at this writing the
burner is complete and the unit will be in operation in February. This
spring will see the construction of a receiving shed and conveyors to
handle the rubbish and feed the burner.
Because of the increased amount of rubbish being picked up by the
Town, another route will be added in the spring necessitating a complete revision of pickup days. Ample notice of this will be given in the
newspapers.

police desk, and seven school crossing guides serve during the school
year.
Continuous training must be emphasized by progressive departments. All officers participated in the annual small-arms training
course. Three officers attended basic and advanced Informational
Techniques Clinics held at the Maine State Police Academy. Fifteen
officers completed training in Civil Disturbances and Riot Control. The
usual law enforcement meetings and F.B.I. Seminars were attended.
Two police officers volunteered to take training in Scuba Diving
and donated their off-duty time to receive this training. The town provided the necessary diving equipment. The department now has two
expert Scuba Divers ready to be called upon for emergency duty. Personnel of the Naval Air Station provided this training.

Larceny accounted for nearly 50% of the juvenile court cases. It
is felt, however, that the number of juvenile cases is low. The officers
devote much time in the interest of Brunswick's youth.
Departmental activities for 1965 are indicated by the following
selected statistics: the issuing of about 11,000 tags for parking violations, the handling of 4,128 telephone calls, the issuing of 605 bicycle
licenses, and other duties too numerous to mention. The two police
cruisers traveled a total of 128,500 miles in the performance of duties.
Oxygen equipment placed in the cruisers for emergency use was utilized several times.

As the number of registered motor vehicles has increased, so has
the number of accidents. As in the previous year, December proved to
be the most dangerous month in which to drive with 61 accidents.
Officers' reports listed "inattention" as the factor contributing most
often to accidents.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire losses were considerably reduced in 1965 as compared with
the previous year even though the total number of alarms increased
slightly. Fire losses dropped from $300,600 to $47,900. Very dry
weather during spring and summer resulted in an increased number
of grass and brush fires.
The most serious fire of the year was the Pleasant Hill Road
brush fire which burned approximately 160 acres. The excellent assistance received from other towns and the military establishments held
the loss to a minimum and prevented the spread of the flames to several homes.

Personnel and Training. Departmental strength remained at nine regular firefighters, two captains, and the chief. In addition to the regular
men, vital manpower for combatting the larger blazes is furnished by
the volunteer force numbering thirty-one dedicated men. The dutyhours of the regular men averaged 76 hours per week.
Regular training of the permanent firefighters is carried out day
by day under a designated instructor. In addition, many of the men
participated in the following training courses and seminars:
First-aid resuscitation school
C.D. Light Rescue school
Rescue and oil fire fighting school at NASB

Fire Department.
Equip►nent. Authorization was obtained for the purchase of an addi-
tional 1000 gallon pumping engine to replace the 1946 pumper. The
pumper will be delivered in 1966 at a cost of $17,467. The old pumper
must then be kept operational as a reserve piece in accordance with the
requirements of the N.E. Board of Fire Underwriters.
An enlargement of central fire station is necessary to accommodate the additional equipment. Bids solicited late in 1965 were considered too high ; the project will be readvertised early in 1966.
The department corrected a lack of emergency rescue equipment
with the purchase of a metal cutting saw, generator, self-contained
acetylene cutting equipment, rescue jack, boat, and aluminized rescue
suits.
CIVIL DEFENSE
A total of 1,595 public fallout shelter spaces at Bowdoin College
were stocked with supplies durir.g the year, making a total of 2,008
public spaces available in Brunswick. The buildings certified and

Planning Board
The primary concern of the Planning Board is the development
and maintenance of a comprehensive community plan, and the further
development of those procedures and ordinances required to guide
community development within the framework of the overall plan.
The board held fifteen meetings and public hearings in 1965. In
addition, a Codes Committee, acting at the request of the Planning
Board, was active.

The strength of the Brunswick economy is indicated by the number of building permits issued each year. The number of single-family
residence permits continued at a healthy level, although slightly lower
than in 1964. The number of commercial and industrial starts showed
a significant increase and will eventually result in an improvement
in our valuation base.

modern plant for a sewing industry. The institutional permits provided
for two new churches, an addition to the Junior High School, renovation of two college dormitories, and a convalescent addition to a hospital.
the Zoning Ordinance and Building Code. Twenty violations of these
codes were investigated by the Building Inspector. The most prevalent
violations noted were for starting construction without a permit, and
junkyard violations. All have been resolved to conform to regulations.
Zoning Board of Appeals. This hard-working and sometimes misunderstood board must make decisions on certain matters beyond the control of the Building Inspector, and is also the body to which appeals
from decisions of the Building Inspector are taken. The board held
12 meetings in 1965 and considered 36 appeals (49 appeals in 1964),
of which 29 were granted, 6 denied, and no action was taken on one.
Note: When planning the construction, alteration, or moving of a building, or use of property, always consult with
the Building Inspector to assure compliance with building,
zoning, and other regulations.

The Brunswick Public Library Association
In 1965 the Public Library completed its 82nd year of service to
the residents of the community. Originally located in the old Town
Hall, the Library moved in 190:3 to the Curtis Memorial Library on
Pleasant Street, the building and grounds having been given to the
Town by William J. Curtis as a memorial to his father Captain John
Curtis. The Library is free to residents of Brunswick and all students
at the high school. Residents of neighboring communities pay a membership fee.
The Library was supported by income from various sources: the
Town appropriation of $12,000, the State stipend of $200, the income
from trust funds of $3,920, fines, fees from non-resident members and
gifts of $1,220. The expenditures were: staff salaries $9,344, books
and periodicals $3,535, operation and maintenance $3,196, repairs to
the building $1,047. The Library grounds are maintained by funds
from a separate trust fund.
1108 new books were acquired during the year. The total circulation of 92,242 was divided as follows: fiction 31,125, non-fiction 21,917,
juveniles 27.421, schools 11,782. Again this year there were fewer
loans to schools accounting for the decrease in circulation.
The Library loaned several of the ship paintings to the Marine
Research Society of Bath for the opening of the Bath Marine Museum.
A "Friends of the Library" group is being formed. The purpose
of this organization is to increase the services the Library offers to
the community.
The Town of Brunswick has the benefit of a bequest made
in 19:33 by Samuel Gross Davis as a memorial to his father
Nathaniel Davis. The income from this bequest, known as the
Davis Fund, shall be used each year for "the pleasure of its
inhabitants as the government of Brunswick of that year shall
decide".

Recreation
The Brunswick Recreation Commission is proud of its achievements during 1965. If participation is a criteria to be used for evaluating the value of a program, then 1965 was the best year in the history
of the Commission. More adults, teen-agers and children took advantage
of the programs offered than ever before. Attendance during the year
at facilities operated by the Commission increased some 33,000 to a
new record annual attendance of 160,941.
The summer program profited by the excellent outdoor recreation
weather. Playground attendance increased by 107 to a daily average of
564 participants on the four playgrounds. Sports, special events, crafts
and games were the major activities.
Baseball proved popular at all levels. Players from the Babe Ruth
and American Legion team rosters served as volunteer coaches in the
Junior Baseball program. After the season, Babe Ruth League officials
pooled their handyman talents and constructed two dugouts for the
varsity diamond at Edwards Field.
Tennis and golf lessons, ponytail softball, men's softball and
basketball were other activities in the summer program. An Award's
Ceremony attended by 1200 children and parents brought the summer
activities to a climatic close. Mr. Rudolf "Charlie" Dumais received the
Commission's "Volunteer of the Year" award for his many contributions to the recreation programs.
The Fall program included gym classes for girls, punt, pass and
kick clinics, ballroom dancing lessons and the annual Halloween Window Painting Contest and party. The penny carnival for grammar
school children attracted 650 children. The games built by members of
the Teen-age Council and Phi Delta Sigma for this event were played
3471 times during the afternoon.
Winter activities included basketball for all ages, adult swim
sessions at Bowdoin's pool, women's recreation class, rifle program,
baton twirling instruction, teen-age jam sessions, junior high nights
and ice skating on the Mall and at Edwards Field.
The Commission's Teen-age Council adopted an accelerated program designed to increase their services to teen-agers. Membership
in the Council was opened to all interested students. New ideas were
tried and special events planned to attract all teen-agers on Saturday
evenings, not just the dance crowd. The public address system, donated
by the Council and Phi Delta Sigma in March, was extended downPage eighteen
COFFIN POND
stairs to provide music in the game room and snack area during
dances. The Council distributed dance ID cards to aid in limiting the
crowd to students and recent BHS graduates.
Improvements at Coffin Pond included enlarging the beach and
swimming area, covering part of the pond bottom with sand, adding
a diving platform and increasing the parking area. The new float and
storage building were built by BHS shop classes.
Despite the water shortage last summer, attendance totaled
36,716. The Pond was open for 61 days and averaged 601 participants
per day. ,Nlore and improved facilities are needed in order to meet the
demand for services.
The Commission plans to finish covering the pond bottom with
sand in 1966. If funds for development become available from the
Land & Water Conservation Program, the Commission plans to enlarge
the parking area, develop picnic facilities and draw up detailed plans
of future improvements. Proving an adequate supply of water to
maintain high quality standards is the chief concern of the Commission.
Page nineteen
Two enrichment programs were initiated in November. Both
programs received community-wide support. Local residents and volunteers from the American Friends Service combined to develop a play
area and conduct a special program on the Town Commons. The Commission plans to use the Commons as an auxiliary playground during
the mornings next summer and promote family picnicking during the
afternoons and on weekends.
There are many individuals and organizations to whom we owe
credit for any success we have obtained. These volunteer workers make
it possible for us to offer a varied program. Drop into the Center, see
the program in action and become a regular participant. Your ideas
and suggestions are always welcome.

The difference between 'total assistance cost' and 'Brunswick taxpayer cost' is reimbursed to Brunswick either by the State of Maine or
by other communities.
Aid to Dependent Children. This is a categorical aid program administered by the State of Maine. The town must contribute 18% of the
total program cost for recipients having Brunswick settlement. State
regulations governing eligibility for the program have recently been
eased by reducing the six-month waiting period before assistance payments can be made to four months and by waiving the waiting period
in certain instances relating to illegitimate children born into A.D.C.
families. The easing of state regulations reduces the burden on the
town general relief account.
Monthly payments to A.D.C. recipients have recently been raised
to $80 for an adult with one child, $110 for an adult with two children,
and $27 for each additional child.
The welfare office became involved in 14 cases of fathers deserting
families during 1965 necessitating the department to support the families until such time as they became eligible for A.D.C. Alcoholism is
cited as the main factor in many cases of deserting fathers, and is
becoming of increasing concern to the department. Also of concern
was the birth of six illegitimate children into A.D.C. families and the
director has been successful in obtaining one bastardy warrant and
hopes to secure another.
Brunswick was required to pay $9,909 to the State of Maine as
its 18% share of this program.
Child Welfare. Until recently onersocial worker from the Maine Division of Child Welfare served this area; now there are three additional
workers. It is anticipated that neglect cases referred from the town
Page twenty-one
office will receive more attention at the first sign of trouble, thereby
avoiding committing children into state custody. Nine families were
referred by the Welfare Department to the Division of Child Welfare
in 1965, and five children were committed to state custody.
The Welfare Department is instrumental in commitments to the
State Hospital and to the Veterans' Hospital in Togus. The facilities
of the Maine Medical Center are used frequently, particularly the eye
clinic. This office also gives assistance in obtaining the advantages of
federal programs, such as the Kerr-Mills Act, the Job Corps, Medicare,
and the military service. On many occasions welfare recipients have
been referred to the Bath-Brunswick Mental Health Clinic.
The distribution of federal surplus foods was discontinued during
1965 because of increasingly restrictive state regulations. Changes in
the regulations are taking place, and renewal of the program soon is
anticipated.

in the public schools for vaccination against smallpox, poliomyelitis,
tetanus, whooping cough and diphtheria. Nine new victualer's licenses
were granted. Fifty-one previously established eating places were approved for renewal of licenses. All infectious diseases occurring within
the Town. which are reported to the Health Officer, were transmitted
to the State Health & Welfare Oft ce for tabulation in the Vital Statistics. Investigation of calls regarding health hazards, violation of
State and Town Health Ordinances, and numerous complaints of nuisances. were investigated, handled, or referred to other authorities
for action, advice, or abatement.

For the fourth straight year Brunswick maintained its tax rate
of $36.70 per $1,000. This was largely possible because a 3.5% increase
in the gross budget was nearly matched by a 2.6% increase in taxable
property over the previous year.

Two long-term borrowings were completed in 1965, as authorized
by town meeting votes. Nine year term notes totalling $79,000 were
sold at an interest rate of 2.79% to finance three projects, addition to
the Hawthorne School site ($18,500), dump improvements ($34,000),
and Fire Department pumper and station addition ($26,500). Bonds
in the total amount of $235,000 to finance the addition to the Junior
High School were sold at an interest rate of 3.30%, payment to extend
through 1981.
Final payments were made on the 1952 High School Addition
bonds in the original amount of $135,000, and on the 1962 Fire Tanker
Notes in the original amount of $11,000.

Principal payments totalling $113,000 were made in 1965; general
obligation debt outstanding was $1,565,000 on December 31, 1965. The
Funds in the amount of $1,000,000 were borrowed in anticipation
of taxes at an interest rate of 2.20%. This was completely repaid by
the end of the year. Interest payments on all borrowings cost the town
a net of $36,316 in 1965, a decrease of over $10,000 from the previous
year.

.4. Fiscal and Calendar Year — 1965:
This past year in school business was indeed interesting and
eventful.
1. We managed to get through the fiscal year in the black in all
four Warrant Articles, in spite of a very "tight" budget, without
tapping the Contingency Fund. To accomplish this, I had the complete
cooperation of all school personnel.
2. The work of the School Building Committee, Mr. Nelson Perryman, Chairman, to plan and to build the Junior High School Addition
was exemplary. Construction is on schedule.
3. School Department Maintenance Personnel did a wonderful job
with the renovation of Building #20, our NASB Elementary School,
now in full and effective use. Credit for this smooth operation should
be extended to Mrs. Lillias Pinson, a "find" as a school administrator.
4. The High School was reaccredited by the State Department of
Education for a five-year period, until 1970.
B. New Programs and Projects that were planned in 1965 to be implemented in 1966:
1. The Model Library at the Coffin and Junior High Schools.
2. Completion of constructing, equipping, and staffing of the Junior
High School Addition.
3. Construction and possible extension of the Neighborhood Youth
Corps Program under the Economic Opportunity Act.
4. The Resource Teacher Program in the elementary grades financed by the Federal Government, Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
5. New Summer School Programs at the Elementary and Junior
High levels, summer of 1966, Title I of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
6. Report from the School Committee appointed High School
Housing and Curriculum Committee with particular reference to
Vocational Education.
7. Equipping the recently Federally approved Freshman Science
Center at the High School under Title I funds.
Page twenty-seven
8. Establishment of English and Mathematics Curriculum Coordinators for the school system.
C. Some Other Work for 1966:
1. Presentation and, hopefully, approval by the Town of the 1966
Operating Budget.
2. Study of the Pros and Cons of the School Administrative District idea to determine, principally, whether or not it would be fiscally
reasonable for Brunswick to form a district with any town, or group
of towns.
3. More work on Titles I, II, and III, Federal Programs for the
government fiscal year July 1, 1966 to June 30, 1967.
4. Setting up a School Social Worker Program, elementary area,
when the present State supported Pilot Program is discontinued at
the close of the present school year.
5. A program called "Headstart" for economically and culturally
deprived preschool children—those children who will be entering
Kindergarten in September, 1966. Establishment of a Community
Action Program under the Economic Opportunity Act is essential to
the long range development of such a program.
6. Stabilization of the State School Subsidy Program for fiscal
1967, possibly settled by the January Special Session of the Legislature.
7. Meetings with State and Federal authorities relative to future
State and Federal Aid to Brunswick—State General Purpose Subsidy
and P.L. 874 Federally impacted areas payments.
8. Replacement of retiring and resigning teachers in our school
system. A major task—replacement of Mrs. Helen Brackett, Principal
of Longfellow School who, after many successful years as an effective
School Administrator, is retiring in June, 1966.
9. Work at local and State levels in preparation for the convening
of the 103rd Legislature in January, 1967.
10. Restudy of teachers' salaries in view of recent salary adjustments in other towns in the State.
I am pleased to report to the Town that Mr. John Bibber, Town
Manager, and his staff ; Mr. Hutchinson and the Public Works Department ; Chief LeBel and the Police Department; Chief Gamache and
Page twenty-eight
the Fire Department; Mr. Joy and the Welfare Department; Mr.
Perryman and the Finance Committee; have all been very helpful
to the School Department.
I wish to thank all School Principals, Teachers, Service and
Maintenance Staffs for their ideas, their effective work, and concern
for schools during 1965.
My office staff joins me in expressing appreciation to the School
Committee for its effective leadership in school operations during
this past year.

COMMENTS
TOWN OF BRUNSWICK
JANUARY 1, 1965 TO DECEMBER 31, 1965
An audit has been completed of the financial records of the Town
of Brunswick for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1965. The audit
consisted of an examination of the records maintained under the supervision of the Town Manager and municipal officials.
The fiscal year's operations showed a net gain of $134,099.91
which was accounted for as follows:
Unexpended Balances
Overdrafts
$ 95,082.54
10,072.35
Actual Revenue Over Estimated
$ 85,010.19
49,089.72
Gain for Year
$134,099.91
The unexpended balances o 'curred principally in the overlay,
contingent and interest accounts. The larger overdrafts were in the
abatement and public works sanitary division accounts.
The actual revenue amounted to $1,079,552.72 as compared with
an estimate of $1.030,463.0(.► for the year. The additional revenue
was received principally from automobile excise taxes, governmental
subsidies and tuition.

general account of $171,369.54 and a special fund of $732.73 were on
deposit in local banks. Change and petty cash funds of $425.00 were
on hand.
The investments of $199,024.87 represented U.S. Treasury bills
maturing on various dates through February 24, 1966.

of reimbursable expenditures due from the State of Maine and municipalities for highways, education and welfare.
Taxes receivable totaling $86,945.79 consisted for the most part
of current year accounts of $64,600.73. The remaining balance of
$22,345.06 was for prior years' accounts dating from 1955. Tax liens
and tax acquired property amounted to $7,218.31 and $4,732.73 respectively.
LIABILITIES, RESERVES AND SURPLUS . . . Accounts payable totaling $4,553.58 represented unpaid charges applicable to the
current year.
The appropriation accounts showed an unexpended balance of
$262,441.31 representing various operating and nonoperating account
balances which are carried forward to the ensuing year in accordance
with legal requirements and/or customary practice. The nonoperating
account balances of $252,816.31, were financed by the issuance of
bonds and notes, and transfers from the unappropriated surplus
account.
Other reserves include the recreation fund, tax receipts held in
escrow and the Thompson Street Lot account.
The unappropriated surplus amounted to $218,431.19, a decrease
of $10,322.49 for the year. This change was occasioned principally
by the authorized transfers to various operating and nonoperating
accounts and to estimated revenue, less the excess of actual revenue
over estimated and the net unexpended departmental balance lapsed.
DEBT FUND . . . The debt fund, incorporated in the balance
sheet as a separate fund, reflects outstanding serial notes of $220,000.00
and bonds of $1,345,000.00 which mature during the ensuing sixteen
years at varying interest rates. Serial notes of $79,000.00 and bonds
of $235,000.00 were issued during the year for various purposes.
TRUST AND RESERVE FUNDS ... Funds held in trust by the
town totaled $135,823.74. This amount represented principals of
$128,526.85, unexpended income of $5,195.79 and a net gain of $2,101.10 which was realized in prior years on exchange of securities. The
funds are invested for the most part in various stocks and bonds.
A capital reserve fund, which was established for equipment replacement, totaled $8,155.58. This fund is on deposit in local banks.

accounts showed an increase of $38,433.11 in funds raised by taxation,
as compared with the preceding year. Larger appropriations for most
accounts, particularly administration, public safety, education and
unclassified accounts were offset to a large extent by the application
of increased estimated revenue.
The departmental balances carried forward to the ensuing year
increased $249,279.72, as compared with balances at the start of the
year. This change occurred principally in the nonoperating accounts,
which were financed from borrowings and transfers from the unappropriated surplus account.
meter revenue for the payment of notes due on the Bank Street Parking Lot. Authorization was also granted to transfer surplus funds

The year 1965 was probably one of the most active since the
inception of the district, not only in the area of construction and
maintenance, but also in planning for future development.
4
For a number of years the Trustees have been planning and programming Sewer District activities to make possible the construction
of a sewage treatment plant. The Trustees have been reinforced in
this action by a construction time table established by the Maine Water
Improvement Commission. Final construction plans by Metcalf &
Eddy, Boston consultin..7 engineering firm, are now near completion,
and actual construction on the site off Jordan Avenue is scheduled for
the Spring of 1966.
The construction of the treatment plant is only possible with
financial assistance from other governmental agencies. Accordingly,
in December a project application in the total amount of $1,617,000.00
was submitted for approval to the Maine Water Improvement Commission and to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
If approved 30c-c, of the cost will be furnished by the Federal Government, and a similar amount from t.le State of Maine.
The final treatment plant design was somewhat complicated by
the Trustees' decision in 1965 to attempt to bring sewer service to
the Cook's Corner area of Brunswick.
COOK'S CORNER INTERCEPTOR
The possibility of serving Cook's Corner has been discussed in
Trustees meetings for several years, but the costs involved never made
the project feasible. The imminent construction of a shopping center
and motel complex at the corner has changed the picture, however.
A bill was introduced in the 1965 Legislature to grant the District
authority to enter the Cook's Corner area, and the firm of Metcalf &
Eddy was retained to perform an engineering and cost study. The
possibility of assuming operation of the Naval Air Station treatment
plant was examined in detail.
In addition to the use of the Navy treatment plant, the engineering firm studied the long range implications of several methods of
serving Cook's Corner. The studies included the possible use of a
sewage lagoon, or stabilization pond, with effluent to discharge into
the New Meadows River. Designs both including and excluding flow
from the Naval Air Station were considered. The determining factor
Page fifty-three
in each plan was the point at which collected wastes would be treated.
The recommended plan involves carrying Cook's Corner sewage by
gravity in an interceptor sewer constructed in the right-of-way of
relocated U.S. #1 to the District treatment plant, a distance of about
1 and 3.'4 miles. The design would be sufficient to carry flows from the
Naval Air Station in the event that such were found advisable. At
this writing, it seems possible that the Navy may find it cheaper to
join with the District than to operate its own treatment facility.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
With the installation of the small sewage pumping station at
Mere Brook on Harpswell Road in 1964, the construction of sewer
lines along Old Gurnet Road and Hambleton Avenue became possible,
and this installation was completed in 1965.
The building of a large industrial plant on Church Road provided
the spark required to insure installation of sewerage in that direction.
and also to allow service into Robinson and Owen Streets.

FINANCES
The trend of increases in total revenues continued in 1965, when
the revenue total of $115,421.32 was about
above the previous
year. Operating expenses increased by about $14,000.00 to $67,631.00.
largely because of increased sewer repair and maintenance caused by
municipal street reconstruction programs, several difficult repair
problems, and because of contractual technical services mentioned later
in this report. Net operating income decreased by $9,504.00 as compared with 1964, to a total of $47,790.14. After deductions for bond
and interest payments and the treatment plant reserve, the net income
of the district was $8,184.45.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000.00 were retired reducing the
bonded indebtedness to $310,000.00 Bond interest payments totalled
$9,765.00.
Sufficient funds were available from the year's operations to
enable the trustees to vote the sum of $20,000.00 to the Reserve for
Treatment Plant construction. This reserve now stands at $76,288.11
including earned interest.
Page fifty-four
GENERAL
Modern techniques of inspecting sewer lines and sealing leaks
were utilized with success. Sections of sewer on Maine Street and on
Jordan Avenue in which troubles were suspected were viewed through
the use of closed-circuit television and trouble spots pinpointed. Chemical intrusion techniques were used to seal serious leaks around nine
manholes on Maine Street, McKeen Street, and Stanwood Street, and
thus appreciably reduce the infiltration in lines leading to the Maine
Street pumping station.
The trustees voted to transfer title to approximately five acres
of land, being a portion of the treatment plant site off Jordan Avenue,
to the Brunswick Resources Corporation for the construction of an
industrial building. It was determined that this particular parcel of
land was not required by the District for future expansion of the
treatment facilities.
The 1959 Ford dump truck was replaced by a 1965 Dodge truck
of smaller and more utilitarian design.
The District added 64 new services in 1965 to bring the total to
2,067.
The Trustees meet regularly on the second Monday of each month
.at 4:00 P.M. and welcome the attendance of anyone who may wish to
attend.

HARRY G. SHULMAN Named
The annual Chamber of Commerce award presented at the 1966
annual town meeting cited Harry G. Shulman as follows:
"A fearless and frank reporter of your native Maine
scene for forty years, thirty-five of them in Brunswick,
you embody the best traditions of
American journalism. Since September 1st, 1930, you have not
only reported faithfully the activities of your adopted Town, but
you have sought constantly to
improve them.
Your enlistment in the service
of your community is virtually
without parallel in the history
of Brunswick. . . .
Merely to cite a sampling of
your multifarious services is to
write a history of Brunswick's progress for more than
a generation. As a member of the Superintending
School Committee from 1943 to 1949, you improved the
quality of public education
As one of the first
Selectmen under the Manager Form of Government, and
as Chairman of the Board for three years, you insisted
that government must be the servant, not the master, of
the citizens it represents. . . .
For these and other achievements you have been
widely acclaimed . . . —but these are mere symbols of
the affection, admiration, and gratitude of the entire
community whose joys and sorrows you have chronicled
and shared through war and peace for thirty-five years."

JOHN P. SIOSER, MANAGER
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Brunswick:
The Annual Report for the year 1966 covering the 228th year of
incorporation as a town is hereby presented. The nineteenth annual
Brunswick continues to be a progressive and attractive community.
The predicted commercial and industrial growth was forthcoming and
further expansion will come in 1967. A review of the municipal program for 1966 shows many areas of progress; your attention is invited
to "Highlights of 1966" on the following page.
The municipal officers take pride in the fact that our tax rate
remained unchanged for the fifth consecutive year. The town once
again completed the year in sound financial condition. Revenues exceeded estimates by $47,491, and expenditures were held below town
meeting authorizations by $31,541. At the end of the year a balance
of $160,422 remained in the Unappropriated Surplus account ; a portion
of this surplus will be used to meet 1967 expenses.
A government is only as strong as the interest and participation of
its citizens. A short questionnaire is provided with this report, and
all those interested in serving on a committee or commission are urged
to fill it out and submit it to this office or to a member of the Board
of Selectmen.

Public Works
Major capital improvements projects were carried out in both the
rural and urban sections of the community during 1966. Threequarters of a mile of the Durham Road was reconstructed; a new
storm drain was installed on Pine and McLellan Streets; and a section
of Jordan Avenue was rebuilt. Many smaller projects were completed
throughout the community.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Many isolated drainage problems were corrected with the addition
of catch basins. More streets received cold patch paving material
thereby improving the riding quality and decreasing maintenance costs.
Extensive tarring operations were carried out in the rural areas. The
remaining section of the Bath Road and all of College Street was paved
with bituminous concrete. A section of the concrete sidewalk on the
west side of Maine Street was reconstructed with Portland cement
concrete. Bituminous concrete sidewalks were built on Water Street,
Chamberlain Avenue and on the upper mall. The "Deep Cut" bridge
received new coat of paint this past summer thereby improving its
appearance greatly.
The rebuilding of Jordan Avenue from Federal Street to the Railroad underpass commenced in June. New storm drainage was laid
throughout the project thereby relieving the sanitary system of periodic overloading. Granite and bituminous concrete curbing was installed along the entire length of the project. Bituminous concrete
surfacing placed over a new gravel base replaced a badly deteriorated
riding surface. A new 5 foot wide bituminous concrete sidewalk was
constructed on the northerly side the full length of the new construction. Final sodding, loaming and seeding work will be completed in the
spring of 1967.
STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION
Storm drains and catch basins were built along a portion of Pine
Street and the entire length of McLellan Street. Formerly all storm
water entered the sanitary system which could not handle peak flows
at times of heavy rains. At the present time, only 33 catch basins
Page seven
CONE RUBBISH BURNER
still remain connected to the sanitary sewer system compared to
approximately 150 in 1952. A further reduction of 13 will be realized
in 1967 upon completion of work proposed.
State Aid work was undertaken on the Durham Road between Route
#1 and the Route #95 overpass. New culverts, better visibility, and
a wider pavement were incorporated into the project. Because of weather conditions in the fall, the paving operations were not completed
but will be as soon as possible next summer.
PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE
With the completion of the addition at the public works garage, all
of the personnel of the public works department are now in one location. An expenditure of $12,023.00 created an office space of 500
square feet and a drafting room with 2(5 square feet of area. This
addition makes possible efficient supervision of all work in progress
both in the field and at the garage.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Personnel and Training. Police Chief Joel P. LeBel resigned from the
department in July 1966 after twenty years of dedicated service with
the town as chief. It was under his direction that the department
grew from a small town police organization to the present size required
to service the needs of a progressive and expanding community. Lt.
Clement G. Favreau was appointed chief on August 26, 1966.
Departmental strength was increased in 1966 by two additional
police officers. The department now consists of twenty uniformed police
officers, including the parking enforcement officer, three sergeants, a
lieutenant, and the chief. In addition, three civilian dispatchers are
utilized at the police desk and six school crossing guides serve during
the school year.
The emphasis on necessary training was continued. Standard and
advanced first-aid courses were conducted. One officer became a certified Small Arms Training instructor. One officer attended fingerprint
school. The usual law enforcement meetings and F.B.I. seminars were
attended.

The number of reported accidents showed a slight decrease in 1966,
but the number of injuries and deaths increased. January proved to
be the most dangerous month in which to drive with 64 accidents.
Officers' reports listed "inattention" and "exceeding a safe speed" as
the two factors contributing most often to accidents.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
There was a slight decrease in the number of alarms for the year
1966, from 290 in 1965 to 267 this year A rainy spring decreased the
number of brush and grass fires from 112 in 1965 to 69 this year.
The number of building fires increasei but they were not of a serious
nature.
FORD 1,000 GALLON PUMPER

One of the most serious fires of the year was at Washburn's Lumber
yard where an estimated $25,000 worth of piled lumber in the yard
was destroyed. The excellent help received from nearby Bath with two
pumpers relaying water from the Perkin's Pond helped in saving the
mill itself.
The Junior High School fire was confined to a small area of the
building, but there was considerable smoke and water damage especially to the office and equipment and the public address system.
The total estimated loss for the year was $92,665 as compared to
$47,900 in 1965.

Personnel and Training. One additional regular firefighter was added
during 1966 bringing departmental strength to ten firefighters, two
captains and the chief. Vital manpower for combatting the larger
blazes is furnished by the volunteer force numbering about 26 dedicated men. The additional regular man has made it possible to reduce
the duty-hours from 76 hours per week to 70 hours per week.
Personnel attended school at Farmington State College held by the
Fire Service School of the State, and the International Chiefs Conference in Boston. In service training was held as usual at the station
covering different fire evolutions and equipment.
Capital Improvements. Delivery was accepted in June of a new Ford
1,000 gallon pumper at a cost of $17,467, and it has proven to be an
excellent piece of needed equipment. It replaces the 1946 pumper as
a first-line piece of equipment, but the older pumper is being kept
operational as a reserve piece in accordance with the requirements of
the N. E. Board of Fire Underwriters.
A necessary enlargement of the fire station was completed in 1966.
About 1600 square feet of space was added at a cost of $17,730.

CIVIL DEFENSE
The program of determining public fallout shelters and stocking
them with supplies was continued. At the close of the year there were

Planning Board
The Planning Board is one of the most active boards connected with
your town government. The primary concern of the Planning Board,
as set out in the Maine Statutes, is the development and maintenance
of a comprehensive community plan, and the further development of
those procedures and ordinances required to guide community development within the framework of the overall plan.
The board held 22 meetings and hearings in 1966.
MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS
Professional consultant retained to review commercial and industrial
zoning and make recommendations.
Approval of a residential subdivision off Baribeau Drive.
An extension of Baribeau Drive incorporated into the traffic circulation master plan to provide for a circumferential route.
Zobing ordinance change recommended to enlarge Commercial Zone
along the Bath Road.
The need for preserving coastal "wetlands" recognized by the formation of a study committee.
Proposed site of a general aviation airport reviewed.
Steps taken to initiate a regional planning commission.
The need to consider a partial or complete review of the Zoning Ordinance.
Provisional approval of a residential subdivision in the Meadowbrook
area.

Contrary to the national trend, the number of single family residence permits issued showed a substantial increase in Brunswick in
1966 as compared with the average of recent years. Although the value
of commercial and industrial construction permits issued did not equal
that of the previous year, the overall trend continues to be indicative
cf a strong Brunswick economy.

Major commercial permits issued included a large department store
and automotive accessory facility at the Cook's Corner shopping center,
and an automobile dealership garage. Institutional permits included
the sewage treatment plant of the Brunswick Sewer District at $1,008,000 and a fraternal meeting hall.
All construction and use of property must be in conformity with the
Zoning Ordinance and Building Code. Eighteen violations of these
codes were investigated and resolved by the Building Inspector. The
most prevalent violations noted were for starting construction without
a permit, and junkyard violations. One decision of the Building Inspector was contested in court, but the case was later dropped.
Zoning Board of Appeals. In a growing community such as Brunswick,
this board serves an important and sometimes difficult function. The
board must make decisions on certain matters beyond the control of
the Building Inspector, and is also the body to which appeals from
decisions of the Building Inspector are taken. The board held 12 meetings in 1966 and considered 42 appeals (36 appeals in 1965), of which
14 were granted as requested, 17 granted with conditions, 9 denied,
and no action taken on two.
NOTE: When planning the construction, alteration, or moving of a building, or use of property, always consult with
the Building Inspector to assure compliance with building,
zoning, and other regulations.

The Brunswick Public Library Association
In 1966 the Public Library completed its 82nd year of service to
residents of the community. Originally located in the old Town Hall,
the Library in 1903 moved to the Curtis Memorial Library on Pleasant
Street, the building and grounds having been given to the Town by
William J. Curtis as a memorial to his father, Captain John Curtis.
The library is free to residents of Brunswick and all students at the
High School. Residents of neighboring communities pay a membership
fee.
The Library was supported by income from various sources: Town
appropriation of $13,000, the State stipend of $200, the income from
Trust Funds of $4,037, fines, fees from non-resident members and gifts
of $1,220. The expenditures were: staff salaries $10,153, books and
periodicals $4.120, operation and maintenance $4,203. The Library
grounds are maintained from a separate trust fund, $266. A bequest
of $1,000 from the Clement F. Robinson estate has been added to the
trust funds.
1.022 volumes were acquired during the year. The total circulation
of 81,249 was divided as follows: fiction 29,703, non-fiction 20,754,
juvenile 25,265, schools 5,527.
The "Friends of the Library" duri,ig the year sponsored a poster
contest for all fifth grades with ar open house during National Library
Week, story hours and a book delivery service to the Stevens Home
and other shut-ins.
The death of Mary H. Donahue, Librarian since 1952 was a great
loss to the Library. Gifts have been received for the Mary H. Donahue
Memorial Book Fund.

The Town of Brunswick has the benefit of a bequest made in
1933 by Samuel Gross Davis as a memorial to his father Nathaniel Davis. The income from this bequest shall be used each year
for "the pleasure of its inhabitants as the government of Brunswick of that year shall decide."

Recreation
During 1966 the Brunswick Recreation Commission continued to
work toward its goal "Recreation for everyone." The availability of
School Department and Bowdoin College facilities for particular programs greatly enhances the variety of programs offered. The CommisSion is very appreciative of the cooperation received from these departments and wishes to thank the many adults and youth of the community who give freely of their time and energies in helping to develop the best possible Recreation program for Brunswick residents.
The recreation program is built around the Community Center On
Federal Street with its gymnasium and other facilities, Edwards'
Field with a track and several baseball diamonds, the
acre Coffin
Pond swimming area, the Town Commons. and numerous school and
college facilities.
Total attendance for the year 1966 was an estimated 160,00t) for all
activities.
The Coffin Pond Park development project received a big boost last
summer when the plan was approved for matching funds under the
Land and Water Conservation Fund Program. Development fund
Page eighteen
monies were spent on a schematic site-plan and other minor improvements. The Davis Fund allocation was used to install a system to
recirculate and chlorinate the pond water. The improvement in the
water clarity and quality was very satisfactory with only partial use
of the system possible. Next summer, with the new recirculating
chlorinating system in full operation, we anticipate much better results. The rainy fall weather has delayed covering the pond bottom
with sand but this will be accomplished before the next swimming
season. A very much needed bathhouse is scheduled to be built next
summer at Coffin Pond.
Special maintenance projects during 1966 included: painting of the
offices, shower, locker, and conference rooms. The gymnasium walls
were painted. New lighting fixtures were installed in the offices, lobby,
and conference room. A new Play School storage cabinet was built.
The gymnasium roof is scheduled for recovering in 1967.
The shuffleboard table in the Center lobby was purchased by the
Teen-age Council. The Council, in a combined effort with the Phi Delta
Sigma, also provided four High School boys with scholarships to Camp
Robinhood, a basketball school.
The Raymond Belanger Memorial Scholarship Committee offers
financial assistance to outstanding volunteers and program participants
who plan a career in Recreation.

Examination of the above figures reveals that total 1966 expenditure
administered by the welfare department is $79,621, but reimbursements
from the State and other towns drop the cost to the Brunswick taxpayer to $50,205.
The Aid to Dependent Children program is a categorical aid program
administered by the State; the municipalities are then billed for 18`,"c
of the program cost.
Medicare and Medicaid. In 1966, $1,700 was appropriated for hospitalization. Previous to Medicare, which went into effect July 1966, the
State had a hospital plan that covered an Old Age Assistance recipient
and his spouse. With the advent of Medicare only those 65 or older are
covered and if the spouse is under 65 he becomes the financial responsibility of the town. State hospital aid, which is available to families
of low income, was reduced from $12.00 per day to $5.00. Because of
this, hospitals have requested payment of bills of the indigent from
the town. Consequently the hospitalization appropriation at the end of
the year shows a deficit of $2,254.22.
Before Medicare, welfare recipients were required to use the local
contractual services of doctors and had to go to the Maine Medical
Page twenty
Center Clinic for major surgery. Now recipients go to a doctor and
hospital of their choice.
Title XIX or Medicaid is for recipients of state aid who are under
65, such as families receiving Aid to Dependent Children or Aid to
Disabled. They receive the same service as those receiving Medicare
and all those included on the grant are covered by Medicaid.
Surplus Food. Distribution of surplus food was resumed in March. A
few changes initiated by the state department have made certification
easier, but the low standard of income that determines eligibility
penalizes many families. For example, a family of six is refused surplus food if their income is in excess of $3,120. A few dollars a week
over the set income hardly relieves the burden of trying to live on these
poverty level figures. The following figures represent units distributed
since March of 1966.

Public Health
HEALTH OFFICER
In the calendar year of 1966 the association of Health Officer and
Town Physician, which had been utilized by the Town of Brunswick for
many years, came to an end on the 31st of August. The first part of
the year, as they had for the preceding nine years, a partnership known
as the Merrymeeting Medical Group served as Town Physician with
one of its members, Robert S. Carson, M.D. being appointed Health
Officer. As of the first of September 1966 the office of Health Officer is
held by Lawrence Bailey, D.O. and the office of Town Physician has
been eliminated, principally because of the advent of a federal Medicare bill, specifically Title XIX. Through this act as applied in the
State of Maine, former welfare recipients, not only old age but those
receiving aid to dependent children, all receive medical and hospital
benefits of the Medicare bill. In addition the deductible portion of the
bill is covered by a separate co-insurance carried by the state. Those
patients, who in the past could go to the Town Physician without
charge, may now receive medical treatment from the physician of their
choice.
Through August 31, 1966 the Merrymeeting Medical Group, as Town
Physician, saw 209 patients in office visits, made 31 house calls and
admitted 8 medical and 8 surgical patients to the local hospitals and
delivered 6 children. The usual clinics for vaccinations and diphtheria,
tetanus and whooping cough inoculations were carried out in public
schools in the spring with the cooperation of the school department and
public health nurse.
The Health Officer has worked closely with the Town Sanitation Committee in a review of our present Health Ordinance with the idea of
modernizing this code.

Industrial Development
The activities of the Brunswick Industrial Planning Committee have
included the necessity of many meetings and many hours spent in
promotional efforts.
These efforts are not always successful—much effort expended in
attempting to solve the problems of one very interesting prospect was
unavailing.
Promotional efforts of this committee, combined with Bowdoin College representatives, resulted in an excellent presentation in connection
with locating the proposed oceanographic laboratory in Harpswell.
Other activities of the committee involved assisting in the location
of a tenant for the former Deena Corporation building on Water Street
and helping improve the driveway area to the plant. Meetings were
held with the Maine Employment Security Commission in an effort to
improve their coverage of Brunswick. Contacts and conferences were
held with a half dozen representatives of firms seeking site locations.
Two area businesses experiencing expansion problems were assisted
by the committee.
Financial assistance of $850 was assigned to assist in the cost of a
study of industrial and commercial zoning undertaken by the Planning
Board.

The Assessing Function is the discovery, listing, appraising and
equalization of real and personal property for the purpose of taxation.
The result of the assessing function is known as the assessment and it
is the apportionment of the Town Budget requirement among the various property owners. This function of assessing is performed by
the five-man Board of Assessors and with the assistance of the Assessing Officer and his staff.
THE 1966 ASSESSMENT
The Town Budget requirement of $1,579,722.00 was met by combining a valuation of $43,974,180 and 2,568 polls with the TAX RATE

ASSESSING PROGRAM
The 1966 Town Meeting appropriated the sum of $20,000 as the
partial first year cost of a town wide equalization study by an outside
professional appraisal company. Therefore on April 17, 1966 the Town
Page twenty-four
Selectmen accepted the bid of the Cole-Layer-Trumble Co. of $34,700
and contracted their services for delivery on May 1, 1967 so that the
Board of Assessors may consider their study in making the 1967 assessment.
The last time such a study was made was in 1954 and it is the
board's desire through this equalization program to achieve a fair and
equal valuation for each property in the community. The board will be
grateful to all property owners for their cooperation with the agents
of Cole-Layer-Trumble Co. The board will, as soon as the study is completed, inform property owners of the new values and hold hearings
if appropriate.

New borrowing in the amount of $13,000 was authorized by 1966
annual town meeting to complete the additions to the Public Works
Garage and Central Fire Station. A decision was made not to borrow
this sum, however, because of the costs involved for a relatively small
sum. In effect, the town has financed it itself.
Final payment was made on the 1956 Coffin Wing Notes in the original amount of $47,000.
Principal payments totalling $121,000 were made in 1966 ; general
obligation debt outstanding was $1,444,000 on December 31, 1966. The
Funds in the amount of $1,100,000 were borrowed in anticipation of
taxes at interest rates of 3.25% and 3.60%. This was completely repaid
at the end of the year. Interest payments on all borrowings cost the
town a net of $46,892 in 1966.

To the Members of the Superintending School Committee and to the
I should like to thank the School Committee, all School Personnel,
the several departments of the Municipal Government, and the Citizenry, both Civilian and Military, of the Town for their very substantial
contributions to School Department operations in 1966.
Fiscally, we "closed the books" of 1966 within the requirements of
the Warrant Articles passed at Town Meeting in March of 1966. Educationally, I hope that the school system has contributed effectively to
the growth of each student.
Special recognition is in order to the School Building Committee for
its thorough, thoughtful work in the Junior High School Addition
Project, now completed.
The Challenge of 1967:
1. Continued Study of the School Administrative District concept.
2. Concern with various Legislative proposals before the 103rd
State Legislature and their possible effect on Brunswick.
3. Further study of Federal and State fiscal aid to the Town of
Brunswick.
4. Evaluation of our educational program and services; Kindergarten through Grade 12.
5. Maintenance of an effective teaching staff and supporting personnel.
6. Search for ideas to improve the Brunswick Public School System.
The Important reason for meeting this challenge: Better educational programs for students attending Brunswick Schools.

The long-Term plans of district trustees began to bear fruit in 1966
with the opening of the Cook's Corner Interceptor and the beginning
of construction of the sewage treatment plant and Water Street Pumping Station.
TREATMENT PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Early in 1966 the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the Maine Water Improvement Commission approved a project application in the total estimated amount of $1,617,000 for construction of an interceptor line and treatment facilities. This approval guaranteed that 30(-, of the cost will be furnished by the Federal
Government, and a similar amount will be paid by the State of Maine.
The 40 7i share which the Brunswick Sewer District must pay becomes
$647,400.
Bids for the construction of the treatment plant facility and Water
Street Pumping Station were opened April 21, 1966. Four bids were
received. The contract was awarded to Nalews-Miller, Meredith, New
Hampshire, at their low bid of $1,008,000. Actual construction was
commenced in May, and it is anticipated that both the treatment plant
and the Water Street pumping station will be substantially completed
by June 1967. The project engineer is Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., Boston.
All aspects of the project are proceeding well within the original
estimates.
COOK'S CORNER INTERCEPTOR
The proposed interceptor line to provide sewer service to Cook's
Corner was accepted by the Federal and State agencies as an integral
part of the sewage treatment plan for the community. The availability
of State and Federal grant funds was an important factor in the decision to proceed with this sewer.
Three bids were opened May 27, 1966, ranging up to $317,587, for
construction of the interceptor. The low bid of Cianchette Brothers,
Inc., Pittsfield, in the amount of $178,794 was accepted and construction began immediately. Changes in design made it possible to reduce
the final estimated cost to $166,197. The line was completed and
opened for service the first of December. The firm of Wright, Pierce,
Barnes and Wyman, Topsham, served as project engineer.
The Cook's Corner Interceptonfewer has opened up an entirely new
area of the community for development. It also will enable the sewer
district to serve the Naval Air Station to the mutual benefit of both.
Page filly-three
While the interceptor is now in service, one additional construction
item is required to complete the project. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded this spring for construction of a sewage pumping
station to lift the sewage from the Cook's Corner Interceptor into the
treatment plant.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Coincidental with the construction of the Cook's Corner Interceptor
is the necessity to provide the necessary sewer laterals in the Cook's
Corner area. In 1966 the Route 24 lateral was completed and is now
serving the shopping center complex and motel, and the Old Bath Road
lateral was completed. The district is obligated to construct sewer
laterals along the Thomas Point Road and the Bath Road in 1967.
Sewer lateral construction details are as follows:

FINANCES
The trend of annual revenue increases suffered a slight reverse in
1966 when the total revenue of $113,521.42 was about 1.6% below
the previous year. The decrease occurs because of a change in schedule in the reading of water meters upon which the sewer billing is
based.
Operating expenses showed a small decrease of about $574 to a total
of $67,057.07. Net operating income decreased by $1,326 as compared
with 1965 to a total of $46,464.35. After deductions for bond and interest payments and reserve for bond retirement, the net income of
the district was $8,184.45.
In order to finance the construction of the sewage treatment plant
and interceptor line, the district borrowed $650,000 at 41 .,% on a one
year note in anticipation of a bond issue. Unused funds are being invested in U.S. Treasury notes as funds are available.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000 were retired reducing the bonded
indebtedness to $300,000. Bond interest payments totalled $9,455.
The Reserve for Treatment Plant construction, which had been accumulated over several years in anticipation of the treatment plant
project, was closed out during the year as the funds were required
to assist in financing the project. A total of $79,024.65 was available
from this source.

RATES
It is anticipated that the sewage treatment plant will be placed in
operation during the summer of 1967. Various expenses in connection
with operating the plant, including labor, chemicals, power, maintenance, and debt amortization, will increase the operating expenses of
the district. Every effort will be made to operate efficiently and economically, but increased operating expenses without any accompanying
revenue increases must of necessity result in an upward revision of
rates. It will be necessary to announce a rate increase before the end
of 1967.
GENERAL
The trustees voted to sell 7.3 acres of land along the Androscoggin
River to the State of Maine for $2,900. The land lies between the river
and new Route #1 and was of no value to the district. The State acquired the property for beautification purposes. The district retained
an easement for the purpose of maintaining the sewer outfall.
The district purchased a lot of land from the Town on Water Street
to provide a site for the Water Street Pumping Station. The cost of
acquisition was $800.
It was necessary to acquire an easement in the Cook's Corner area
to facilitate the installation of the Route #24 sewer main. Damages
of $3,000 were awarded. Placing this sewer along a back lot line saved
a considerable amount in constructiln expense.
The trustees voted to submit a proposed charter change to the 1967
Legislature to clarify the borrowing provisions incorporated in the
charter.
The district added 31 new services in 1966 to bring the total number of services to 2,098.
at 4:00 p.m. and welcome the attendance of anyone who may wish to
attend.

To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Brunswick:
The year 1967 constituted another progressive step in the development of Brunswick as an attractive and growing community.
Presented herewith is the Annual Report for 1967 covering the 229th
year of incorporation as a town. The twentieth annual report of the
Brunswick Sewer District is also included.
The growth of Brunswick as a commercial center continued through
the year with resulting strengthening of the tax base and increased
payrolls. A review of the municipal program for 1967 shows a number
of areas of progress. Your attention is invited to "Highlights of
1967" on a following page.
It is heartening to note that the fii.ancial condition of the town remains sound. A tax valuation equali-.ation study was completed on the
basis of conservative 100(7;7 values and resulted in a tax rate of $25.90
as compared with $36.70 the previous year. Expressed on a comparative basis, the 1967 rate actually constituted a small rate increase the first such tax rate increase in six years.
Municipal revenues exceeded estimates by $49,728, and expenditures
were held below departmental authorizations by $80,519. At the end of
the year a balance of $190,618 remained in the Unappropriated Surplus account: a portion of this surplus will be used to meet 1968 expenses.
Although it begins to sound trite, it becomes more of a truism each
year that the progress of the community is only the result of the untiring efforts of many people, including the municipal officers, employees, members of boards and commissions, and the many interested
citizens who give of themselves.

Public Works
Many sections of the Town received attention from the Brunswick
Public Works Department in 1967: Union Street completed from Maine
Central Railroad tracks to McKeen Street ; Storm drain replacing open
ditch in McKeen Street-Hennessey Street area ; a section of Adams
Road 80% completed before snow came; increased emphasis on new
sidewalks and many small but necessary projects completed.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Over 122,000 gallons of tar and asphalt were applied to the streets
and roads of the town in 1967 thereby increasing the life of these
streets and roads and reducing costly patching maintenance. Some
gravel roads received a layer of gravel in the late fall in preparation
of surface treatment in 1968 which will eliminate the need of continual
grader maintenance to end the dust problem. Over a mile of new
sidewalks was constructed in various locations with major work on
Jordan Avenue and McKeen Street. Stanwood Street and Park Row
received a layer of bituminous concrete pavement during the summer
months. These sections were rebuilt in recent years and this high type
pavement prolongs the life of these streets for many additional year..
With the completion of the section from the MCRR tracks to McKeen
Street, Union Street has now been rebuilt in its entirety. The storm
drain system was extended throughout the construction site and also
onto McKeen Street, thereby improving the drainage in this area. The
street was widened and a bituminous concrete sidewalk constructed on
the westerly side. Bituminous concrete curbing and pavement was
utilized throughout the project.
The new entrance road to the sewage treatment plant was completed
in 1967, and also provides an entrance to a small industrial plot of
land adjacent to the plant.
Baribeau Drive was extended northerly from McKeen Street to Hennessey Street. Work accomplished in 1967 included clearing, grubbing
Page eight
and the placing of gravel base over the entire length. In 1968, additional surface gravel will be added and will be surface treated with tar.
STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION
The large open ditch running from McKeen Street to MCRR tracks
paralleling Stanwood Street was eliminated with the installation of
over 1000 feet of 30 - pipe. This removes the unsightly and potentially
dangerous condition from the area and also removes a costly maintenance item from the budget. Five catch basins were placed at strategic locations along the length of the project, anticipating future
street extensions in this area.
Work commenced in late fall on the "Jughandle Hill" section of the
Adams Road. Approximately 1500 cubic yards of ledge had to be
removed to eliminate two curves and a severe grade problem. Work
had to be terminated in late December because of snow but will be
completed in early spring. ExpenLitures under this fund are reimbursed by the State Highway Commission.

Public Safety
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Personnel and Training. The task of controlling crime and maintaining law and order in Brunswick is capably handled by a uniformed
force of twenty officers. This number includes a parking enforcement
officer, three sergeants, one lieutenant, and the chief. In addition three
civilian dispatchers are utilized at the police desk, six school crossing
guides serve during the school year, and two part-time police matrons.
The department continues to emphasize the training of all personnel.
Two new officers completed the basic police training course offered
state-wide. Five officers participated in a course in effective supervisory practices. The chief took part in a two-week police management
seminar at Orono. The lieutenant attended an intensive three-week
course in administrative training at Babson Institute. The usual courses
in firearms, first-aid, fingerprinting, and search and seizure were available to all.

in 1968.

A change in Maine reporting procedures no longer makes it possible
to show comparative damage figures.
The continuing increase in the number and use of automobiles is indicated by the accident statistics. Accident investigation and traffic
control occupies a significant portion of the energies of the department.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The year 1967 resulted in a small decrease in the number of alarms
answered by the Fire Department as compared with the previous year,
but the fires were more serious. The number of residential fires inPage eleven
creased, and in three unfortunate situations a total of five lives were
lost. The cause of two of these fires was undetermined and the third
was attributed to a flooded oil space heater.
The Cedar Street warehouse fire in December was the largest fire
with which the department had to deal. Favorable weather conditions
assisted in containing the fire without damage to nearby properties.
The damp and rainy spring and summer seasons resulted in fewer
grass and brush fires than in any year of recent record.
Total estimated fire loss for the year was $122,265 as compared to
$92,665 in 1966.

the volunteer force numbering about 26 dedicated men.
Personnel attended various training seminars, and conducted weekly
in-service training sessions at the station. A training tower has now
been established on town owned land on Water Street for ladder work.
This training area was also utilized for pumper operation and the practice of fighting oil fires.
Inspections were conducted as necessary at nursing homes, hospitals, schools and many business buildings.
CIVIL DEFENSE
Cooperation with the federal and state program for locating and
stocking public fallout shelters continues to be a major project of the
Brunswick civil defense program. At the close of the year there were

Planning
Forty meetings and hearings were required during 1967 by the
Planning Board in the conduct of its duties. It is one of the most active of your local governmental boards.
The primary concern of the Planning Board, as set out in the Maine
Statutes, is the development and maintenance of a comprehensive community plan, and the further development of those procedures and
ordinances required to guide community development within the framework of the overall plan.
The Brunswick Planning Board was instrumental in helping organize
and establish the Bath-Brunswick Regional Planning Commission. Seven area towns have now joined to begin the important task of regional
planning. More and more emphasis is being placed on the need for
planning for an entire region in addition to purely local planning. The
existance of a regional planning organization is also a prerequisite for
a number of federal grant programs.
Much of the energies of the Board were directed to working on the
draft of a complete new zoning ordinance for the community. Professional assistance was retained to help direct this effort. It is hoped
that the final draft can be presented to the voters for consideration in
1968. It is the feeling of the Board that an improved zoning ordinance
is a necessity for the best development of this community.
Other major Board considerations included :
Problems related to the authorized low-rent elderly housing
project of 75 units.
The development of the Brunswick Neighborhood Analysis
Study — a community-wide picture of housing problems.
Consideration of location of a proposed general aviation airport.
Final approval of a 33 lot subdivision development, and conferences with three other possible developers.
Developed, with a professional consultant, a study, with maps,
on Industrial and Commercial Zoning.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS: In a growing community such as
Brunswick, this board serves an important and sometimes difficult
function. The board held fifteen meetings in 1967 and considered 60
appeals (42 appeals in 1966), of which 28 were granted as requested,
9 granted with conditions, 19 denied, no action taken on three and
one was postponed.
NOTE: When planning the construction, alteration, or moving
of a building, or use of property, always consult with the Building Inspector to assure compliance with building, zoning, and
other regulations.

Brunswick Public Library Association
In 1967 the Public Library completed its 84th year of service to
residents of the community. Originally located in the old Town Hall,
the Library in 1903 moved to the Curtis Memorial Library on Pleasant
Street, the building and grounds having been given to the Town by
William J. Curtis as a memorial to his father, Captain John Curtis.
The Library is free to the residents of Brunswick and all students at
the high school. Residents of neighboring communities pay a membership fee.
The Library was supported by income from various sources: Town
appropriation of $16,000, the state stipend of $200, the income from
trust funds of $4,45, fines, fees and gifts of $1,587. The expenditures
were: staff salaries $13,378, books and periodicals $4,863, operation
and maintenance $3,831. The Library grounds are maintained from a
separate trust fund, $448. The trust funds were increased by a bequest
of $500 from the Isabel Forsaith estate and contributions to the Mary
A. Donahue fund. The Libras• received $1,000 worth of reference
books from the Library Services Construction Act and 291 books were
donated by citizens. 1846 volumes were acquired during the year.
The total circulation was 73.631.
In August Mrs. Aaron Weissman became librarian and Mrs. Everett
Lunt associate librarian. With a ful y trained staff the Library is able
to expand its services. With the h .1p of the "Friends of the Library"
a pre-school story hour is well established and a story hour for older
children has been started. Other children's activities have included a
talk by author Mary C. Jane, and a Christmas party for 5th and 6th
grades. The Friends sponsor a delivery service for shut-ins and have
arranged several exhibitions and teas.
The Town of Brunswick has the benefit of a bequest made in
1933 by Samuel Gross Davis as a memorial to his father Nathaniel Davis. The income from this bequest shall be used each year
for "the pleasure of its inhabitants as the government of Brunswick of that year shall decide."
The 1967 income was expanded as follows:
$300
The Pejepscot Historical Society
Coffin Pond, for construction of bath houses.

Recreation
The year of 1967 was a most successful one that saw the addition
of many new and varied activities. Our facilities and program continued to expand under the leadership and able guidance of the Recreation Commission and the efforts of the recreation staff.
The steady increase in population associated with new building and
housing programs present new challenges in Recreation in the years
immediately ahead. Brunswick is fortunate in having several available playground areas located in various populated an-as of the town.
but we must look forward to the development of new ones in those
sections of Brunswick showing a population buildup.
The building of a new bathhouse at Coffin pond and th e extensive reHiirs and renovation at the "Rec Center - along with the addition of
the new playground equipment at Edwards Field are examples of continued service. Other new facilities and programs include expansion

Women's Softball League, Youth Learn-to-Ski program, Men's Basketball League, extensive addition to beach area at Coffin Pond, adult
recreation classes in Floral Arranging, Golf, Oil Painting, Fly Tying,
Sketching, Bridge and Ski Classes.
Extensive repairs and redecorations to the Recreation Center were
carried out during the past year. A new roof was installed over the
main gym and a new boiler installed to replace the old one which had
outlived its usefulness. New renovations proposed for 1968 will include an exterior beautification program which calls for new steps,
black topping side and rear areas and new shrubbery and grass plantings at the front. The downstairs interior will be painted and work
will be done in the shower and locker room areas.
The long range program for developing the Coffin Pond Recreation
Area is on schedule. A wonderful new bathhouse was constructed at
the site and we are now able to offer an almost complete swimming
facility to the people of Brunswick. If approved for 1968, a new
parking area will be added and extensive work done on the frontage
and approach to the Pond.
Newly formed in 1967, our Senior Citizens Club continues to grow
and prosper. The Club which has a membership of almost 200 is recognized as one of the most activ€ and fastest growing in the town.
Their activities in 1967 were interesting, entertaining and educational.
Mrs. Jeannette Cross is the program director of this active organization that is filling such a vital need in our community's recreation
picture.
Total attendance for the year 1967 was an estimated 145,590 for all
activities.

from the State and other towns drop the cost to the Brunswick taxpayer to $51,838.
The Aid to Dependent Children program is a categorical aid program
administered by the State ; the municipalities are then billed for 18%
of the program cost.
Surplus Food
Distribution of surplus food continued through 1967. This has
helped many mothers provide better meals for their children, especially
those with large families. For example a mother with six children is
entitled to 30 lbs. of flour, 27 lbs. of dry milk, 3 lbs. of raisins, 6 cans
of meat, 2 — 2 lb. cans of peanut butter, 10 lbs. cornmeal, 6 lbs. shortening, 12 lbs. dry beans, 6 lbs. rice and 6 lbs. of margarine each month.
All laws related to the surplus food program are controlled by the
State of Maine and the federal government.

Medicare and Medicaid
During 1967 Medicare and Medicaid helped numerous residents of
Brunswick. Public assistance recipients have better medical services
available because Medicare. and Title 19 under Medicare, gives them
complete coverage for hospitalization and doctor's care. They also have
the privilege of choosing their doctor. However, Medicare does not
cover the expense of medicine, a dentist, or optometry.
The most neglected area is dental care, and it is roughly estimated
that 50c7( of the people in this town do not receive dental care because
of the expense. Many are without teeth, some need braces, or their
teeth are so badly decayed that they have to be extracted. Hopefully
the O.E.O. will be able to do something in this field.

HEALTH OFFICER
The Brunswick Health Officer has, during the calendar year 1967,
in cooperation with the Public Health Nurse, held 6 clinics in the
Municipal Building for the immunization of children against small pox,
tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, poliomyelitis and measles.
Two public springs were qualitatively analyzed, found contaminated
and posted.
A total of 14 mobilehome sites were inspected as required by the
Trailer Ordinance and written reports were submitted to the Building
Inspector.
Eight new victualer establishments were inspected and licenses implemented. Some 50 other establishments were inspected for renewal
of their licenses. One proposed housing subdivision was inspected and
a written report submitted to the Planning Board.
All infectious diseases occurring within the town and reported to
the health officer were transmitted to the State Department of Health
and Welfare. Investigation of calls regarding health hazards and numerous complaints of nuisances were studied and resolved.
In conjunction with the Sanitation Committee, work has been progressing on a proposed revised Brunswick Sanitation Ordinance.

Industrial Development
Any proper report of this committee would remind those reading the
report that while our activities have been many and varied during the
year 1967, we have maintained our complete dedication to the primary
purposes for which the committee was activated as follows:
1. To make sure that present industries are kept happy, satisfied
and prosperous with their present role in our community affairs
and in their liaison with their community.
9.
To expend every effort to attract new industries of a desirable
nature to the town. The definition of desirability would include
among other assets that they be small diversified industries
which would not prey upon the present labor supplies utilized by
present industries and to constantly bear in mind the impact
that this industry would have upon our community and the
cost of facilities that the town would be called upon to furnish
that industry.
Many times during the past year we have talked with industrial prospects and helped them by showing them available land, available buildings, by explaining the tax structure and basis, going over prospective
water and sewage charges, showing the existing living facilities, touring the school department plant lnd Bowdoin College. We have discussed at length with these prospects (and shall continue so to do)
eastern markets, local labor supply, influence of the military and examined distribution and transportation facilities.
A brief summary of the committee activities for 1967 would include the following:
Complete revision of the Brunswick industrial brochure.
Investigation of scheduled airline service for the community.
Development of an inventory of land appropriate for industrial
expansion.
Cooperation with development efforts in neighboring communities.
A number of meetings with representatives of the Maine Department of Economic Development.
Continued interest in the possibilities of oceanographic research.
Consideration of erection of a speculative industrial building.
The Chamber of Commerce industrial activity expenses reimbursed
by the town in 1967 amounted to $3,737.50. The appropriation available for this purpose was $5,500.

The Assessing Function is the discovery, listing, appraising and
equalization of property for the purpose of taxation. The result of the
assessing function is known as the assessment and it is the apportionment of the Town Budget requirement among the various property
owners. This function is performed by the five-man Board of Assessors
and with the assistance of the Town Assessing Officer, his staff and,
during this year, the Cole-Layer-Trumble Company.
THE 1967 ASSESSMENT
The Town Budget requirement of $1,737,350.50 was met by combining the valuation of $69,556,200 and 2544 polls ($7,632 ► with the TAX
RATE of $25.90 per $1,000 to produce an assessment of $1,809,137.58
and thereby an overlay of $71,787.08, or 4.1r7c.

prior to making the assessment.
The Board of Assessors held 380 hearings on 260 appeals after the
assessment and granted valuation abatements on 146 real estate appeals and on 48 personal estate appeals.
The 1967 total assessment consisted of 4,980 real and 989 personal
estate accounts or a total of 5,969. Therefore, it is indicated that the
appeals made to the Board involved 4.4% of the total assessment accounts.

New borrowing in the amount of $20,200 was authorized by a 1967
special town meeting to acquire property adjacent to Brunswick High
School on Spring Street. This sum was borrowed, and serial notes with
the final payment in 1971 were issued.
Principal payments on outstanding bonds and notes were made in
1967 in the total amount of $119,500. In addition, $6,500 was appropriated to reduce the amount of $13,000 authorized by 1966 annual
town meeting to complete the additions to the Public Works Garage
and Central Fire Station.
General obligation debt outstanding was $1,344,700 on December 31,
1967. The legal constitutional debt limit for Brunswick is $5,216,715.
Funds in the amount of $1,100,000 were borrowed in anticipation of
taxes at an interest rate of 2.89%. This was completely repaid at the
end of the year. Interest payments on all borrowings cost the town a
net of $51,987 in 1967.

Town Common
During the year just past, a bridge in Town Common development
was crossed and it looks now as if all real doubts about its future can
be put to rest. The pattern, at least, has been established.
Early last February the first draft of a Town Common plan was submitted by the James W. Sewall Company of Old Town, and if anything
marked a turning point in the checkered history of the Town Common, the appearance of the Sewall report must be considered a key.
It contained a master plan for the Common written by a man who had
walked over most of the land and had grown more and more fond of
the Common's wildlife, its trees and its flowering shrubs. With this
report as a guide, committees and selectmen could come and go, but
the Common's development would follow the right path.
After the report had been put to work, tax funds from the town
( $1,000) and $500 from the Davis Fund were also generating some
ideas. Following a summer of planning, surveying and preparing, a
post and rail fence was installed along much of the northern end of
the Common where the picnic and recreation area was established.
More fence is planned for next year, as is a sign to identify and explain the Common's origins as a parcel of land set aside more than
200 years ago for "the use and improvement" of Brunswick citizens.
Along with the "paid for" work came contributions from many volunteers, including the drilling of a well and the installation of a pump.
And then there were the Boy Scouts and other young people who
worked much of the summer to mark the Common's boundaries and see
that the town knew how much it had and where it lay.

TO: The Brunswick School Committee and the Citizens of Brunswick

I am pleased to report that in 1967 there was more teacher involvement in the school system in the study of curriculum relative to subject
matter content, methods and techniques of teaching than at any time
during the past five years. In-Service training or study programs prevail in Mathematics, English, Social Studies, and Science at several
grade levels. There is much better communication between our three
major "divisions"—High School, Junior High, and Elementary grades
than heretofore. I'm grateful to Principals, Teachers, and Staff for
their continuing interest in system-wide improvements.
The cooperation from school personnel indicated above, together
with the leadership of the School Committee, the concern and helpfulness of various study committees, and the general support of the citizens of Brunswick will meet constructively the following challenges of
1968:
1. Vocational Education in Brunswick
2. Improved Reading Programs in Grades K-12
3. Coffin School additions and grouping of Grades 3, 4, and 5
4. Preparation for the 104th Legislature relative to more
realistic State support of local school districts
5. Better compensation for teachers and staff
6. Further study and In-Service training of teachers
At this writing it would appear that we will not have much teacher
turnover for the school year beginning September 1968. However, due
to retirements and military transfers, several "key" positions must be
filled at a time when there still exists an acute good teacher shortage.
To attract the teaching personnel that students deserve, we must have
a better salary setup than now exists.
I should like all citizens to know that the several branches of municipal government have been more than ordinarily helpful to schools particularly the Town Manager and his Staff, the Police, the Welfare,
the Fire. the Health, the Public Works Departments, and the School
Building Committee. I'm indebted to Mr. John Bibber, the town manager, for his constant cooperation,
The dedication to duty of the Custodial, Transportation, and Cafeteria staff merits special recognition for fine day to day work in 1967.

Many year of planning were climaxed in August of 1967 with the
successful opening of the sewage treatment plant off Jordan Avenue.
In addition, the Water Street pumping station and the Cook's Corner
Interceptor pumping station were placed in service.
TREATMENT PLANT
As previously reported, federal and state approvals were received
on a project application in the total estimated amount of $1,617,000
for construction of an interceptor line and treatment facilities. Although final project costs will not be available until other details are
.ompleted. it is apparent that total actual cost will be about $1,-130,000
well within the initial estimates. State and federal grant payments
will ultimately reduce the District cost to 40'; , or about $572,000.
It is estimated that about 9o'; of the sewage flow entering the
Androscoggin River through public sewers is now receiving treatment at the new facility. There are two more public sewer outfalls
into the river from Mill Street. At the time Mill Street is reconstructed by the State Highway Commission, pumping stations will be
installed to direct this flow into the treatment facility.
Views within Sewage Treatment Plant
l'age lifly-three
The operation of the plant is very satisfactory. A recent analysis by
the Maine Water Improvement Commission engineers indicated "Very
good suspended solids and B.O.D. removal." The report showed the
percent of removal of settleable solids to be 99(7c.
It should be recognized that the Brunswick plant provides primary
treatment, and that in future years as the classification of the river is
upgraded "secondary" treatment will also have to be provided. The
design of the present plant is such, however, that secondary treatment
can be added at minimum additional cost.
In October, Naval Air Station Brunswick closed its sewage treatment plant and became a customer of the Brunswick Sewer District.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Construction of sewer laterals in the Cook's Corner neighborhood
continued in 1967 in order to take full advantage of the interceptor
sewer extended to that area in 1966. Other sewer laterals were also
constructed to allow commercial development and residential subdivision development.

FINANCES
Revenues increased more than $10,000 in 1967 to a total of
$123,708.79. The increase results from additional customers utilizing
the District facilities. The largest new customer is Naval Air Station
Brunswick.
Operating expenses increased nearly $14,750 as compared with 1966.
This, of course, is primarily the result of the start-up of the treatment
plant and associated facilities. After deductions for bond and interest
payments, the net income of the district was $23,116.25.
Bonds in the amount of $10,000 were retired reducing the bonded
indebtedness to $290,000. Bond interest payments totalled $9,145.
Notes payable at the year's end amounted to $615,000. This financing
was required to enable the district to meet expenses involved in construction of the treatment plant project. It is anticipated that these
notes will be retired in 1968 with funds to be received from the sale
of bonds and from the final state and federal project grant payments.

RATES
As has been reported in the past, the operating costs, depreciation
and debt amortization costs of the new facilities require a customer
rate increase in 1968. It is estimated that total increased annual cost
to the district, including depreciation, will be about $104,000. In order
to finance this amount a rate increase of 40c, has been established.
The Trustees regret the need for the rate increase, but the citizens
of Brunswick can be proud that the community is doing its part in
cleaning up the river.
GENERAL
The insurance coverage of the district was examined closely during
1967 and completely revised. A three year contract for providing the
insurance coverage was awarded after several proposals had been considered.
The charter of the Brunswick Sewer District was amended by the
Maine Legislature to clarify the borrowing power of the district, and
to establish the annual stipend of the trustees at $300 and that of the
chairman at $500.
With the sewage treatment plant project basically completed, the
attention of the trustees has now turned towards the need of planning
for the anticipated growth of Brunswick southerly of the existing urban area. Consideration is being given to retaining a qualified engineering firm to complete such a study. The benefits of advanced
sewer planning have been demonstrated many times, and it is the intention of the officers of the district to continue this emphasis.
The district added 40 new services and lost 6 services due to razing
buildings and consolidation of commercial facilities during 1967 for a
net increase of 34 customers. Total number of services is 2,132.
The trustees meet regularly on the second Monday of each month at
4:00 P.M. and welcome the attendance of anyone who may wish to
attend.
