The report of the Committee of Fifteen on the above Article is as follows:


REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN


The Committee of Fifteen appointed to meet with Mr. Willett and the Trustees of the Norwood Civic Association with reference to the development of plans of the Norwood Civic Association in accordance with the action of a Special Town Meeting of August 3, 1950, and which was instructed by Town Meeting action of April 28, 1952, to report on Resolves No. 2 through No. 11, submits its report:


The Committee was organized at its first meeting on September 27, 1950, at which time Herbert A. Wiggin was elected Chairman, and Martin B. Curran, Secretary. The first action of the Committee was to request of Mr. Willett a detailed written report of his specific proposals for study by the Committee. This report was received on the day of the second Committee Meeting, October 16, 1950 and was discussed at great length by the Committee with Mr. Willett. The specific proposals contained in this report concerned a method by which the financing of the Westover development could be started through the Norwood Civic Association. The Committee felt that in order to evaluate the plan, further knowledge of the total financial situation was desirable, and accordingly, a sub-committee of three


36


TOWN OF NORWOOD


was named by the Chairman to consult further with Mr. Willett. Members of the sub-committee were Miss Frances Blanchot, Clement R. McCormack and Martin B. Curran. The sub-committee met with Mr. Willett on November 11, 1950, at which time Mr. Willett was shown a copy of a report of an earlier committee containing specific proposals for construction in the Westover property. Mr. Willett's reaction was such that no further progress was made during the meeting. At Mr. Willett's invitation Mr. Curran met with him on several successive Saturdays for further study. Shortly thereafter, other problems demanded so much of Mr. Willett's time that he could not prepare further reports for the Committee. This was the status of Committee activity at the time Mr. Willett brought the eleven resolutions before the Town Meeting of April 28, 1952.


The Committee met to consider its new assignment on May 5, 1952. Prior to calling the meeting to order, the Chairman permitted Mr. Willett to make some general remarks to the Committee. Mr. Willett stated that he was now the Chair- man of the Board of Trustees of the Norwood Civic Association, and then introduced Dr. Sallie Saunders, Assistant Director of Maternal and Child Health in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, as the new President.
