ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TOWN YARD COMMITTEE
Dated January 29, 1936.
During the year 1935 the Town Yard Committee met on several occasions to study and discuss ways and means of securing more space to accommodate the requirements of the Board of Public Works.
On account of the increase of motor equipment and the gradual demolition of the yards at Summer Street, the committee finds that the garage at Hobbs Court is not sufficiently large to accommodate the equipment owned by the Town and coming under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Works.
The committee also finds that the water shop at Hobbs Court yard is not large enough to take over the carpenter shop, paint shop, and blacksmith shop now located at the Summer Street yards.
Realizing the advantages to be gained in the central- ization of the towns equipment and shops for economically carrying out the functions of the Public Works Depart- ment, the Town Yard Committee is presenting for con- sideration at this town meeting the purchase of additional land and buildings which is more fully explained in Article #9 on the Warrant of a Special Town Meeting for January 29, 1936.
Respectfully submitted,
TOWN YARD COMMITTEE John E. Mitchell, Chairman Walter F. Robinson F. Hedley Barnhill
