Article 23. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $1,800 for a survey of the Town's recreational facilities and needs; or take any action relative thereto.
Motion by Mr. Joseph J. Joyce, duly seconded :

The Planning Board may request the cooperation of interested citizens and organizations toward fulfilling these purposes.
Mr. Joyce, with unanimous consent of the meeting, returned to Article 1, for the purpose of presenting the Report of the Committee to Study the Recreational Facilities of the Town, appointed under Article #28 of the 1955 Annual Town Meeting. This report indicated a need for coordination between various recreational activities within the town under a single administrative agency, and greater development of recrea- tion for adults, e.g. facilities for tennis.

Voted: That the article be passed over.

Motion by Mr. George Vinsonhaler, duly seconded :

This motion was ruled out of order by the Moderator, under Article 25, because the wording of the Article in the Warrant had specified otherwise, as to how the Committee should be set up.
Motion by Mr. Morgan: To pass over Article 25; to return to Article 1 for the purpose of making the above motion of Mr. Vinson- haler.
Mr. Cox pointed out that it would be sufficient to pass over Article 25, since the Committee appointed under Article 3 of the Special Town Meeting of March 7, 1956, was empowered already to make such a study.
Accordingly, upon Mr. Morgan's motion to pass over the Article, duly seconded, it was:
Voted: In favor.

Motion by Mr. Vinsonhaler, duly seconded: That the Town By-Laws be amended by striking out Section 1, Article 8 and inserting in place thereof :
"No person, other than an inhabitant of the Town, shall use any Public Dump established by the Town, unless authorized by the Board of Selectmen."
Amendment to this motion by Mr. Cox, duly seconded :
