REPORT OF TOWN CLERK


EXCERPTS FROM TOWN MEETING RECORDS 1942


(January 20th)


Voted to appropriate from Surplus Cash the sum of $5,000.00 to purchase a Maxim Pumper mounted on a Ford chassis, and a Committee of two members of the Fire Department to act with the Board of Selectmen in the purchase of said pumper.


Norman V. Holmes and Homer F. Weston were ap- pointed by the Moderator to act with the Selectmen.


It was voted to appoint a Fire Equipment Housing Committee of five to consider the matter of housing fire equipment and report to the Annual Town Meeting.


The Committee appointed by the Moderator was as follows :


Earl B. Ware, Chairman


Norman V. Holmes


Homer F. Weston Warren L. Chandler


Carroll D. Griffith


(March 3)


Voted that the Dog Fund be appropriated for the Free Public Library.


Voted that the Moderator re-appoint the original Build- ing Committee for the No. School remodeling namely :


-19-


Andrew F. Griffith, Warren L. Chandler and Winston B. Leach, and that the balance $16.91 of that account be used to purchase a sign bearing the name E. Tillson Pratt School, and place on the No. School.


Report of Committee to investigate housing of Fire Equipment is as follows :


It is the recommendation of this Committee that the Town accept the offer of Mr. Ellis D. Atwood to house one piece of apparatus at his heated garage, at his bog in South Carver. Mr. Atwood offers this space to the Town free of charge, and has men available to drive the truck at all times.


Due to unsettled conditions the Committee feels that this is the best solution of our problem for the next few months.


We also recommend that this Committee be continued and be allowed to make further study of the situation, and report at a future Town Meeting.


FIRE HOUSING COMMITTEE, EARL B. WARE, Chairman.


Moved by Earl B. Ware duly seconded that the Town accept the offer of Mr. Atwood with the following changes in the wording of the first paragraph of the above report "and where men will probably be available to drive the truck".

Voted $500.00 for Civilian Defense from Available Funds.
