VOTES ENACTED AT THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING, MARCH 4, 1942
Town Clerk's Office, Wayland, Massachusetts, March 4, 1942.
Howard S. Russell, Moderator :
Pursuant to the following warrant the inhabitants of the Town of Wayland met this day and did the following business.
Article 1. To hear reports of the Town officers, agents and committees, and act thereon.
Voted to accept the reports of the Town officers as they appear in the Town Report.
Voted to accept the following report of the Moderator and Town Counsel in regar dto the Building Code.
"Under Article 18 of the Town Warrant of the Annual Town Meeting last year the action of the meeting is correctly reported. The records do not show, however, the action lead- ing to the approval by the Attorney General, as noted, of most of the Building Code. In order that the records may be com- plete, this official report is now made, in accordance with the unofficial report of the Moderator published in several news- papers and posted publicly in the Town at the time, that an in- vestigation by the Moderator, after conferring with the Town Counsel and the Attorney General's Office, convinced the Mod- erator that his original ruling that the motion was lost for lack of two-thirds vote was in error. Therefore, under the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in the case of Ogden v. Selectmen of Freetown, 258 Mass. 139, the effect of the vote as recorded was that the motion was carried and the by-laws providing for a Building Code were adopted and, sub- ject to the approval of the Attorney General became effective.
March 3, 1942
Howard S. Russell, Town Moderator. J. Sidney Stone, Town Counsel."
