Report of Committee of Permanent Firemen:
(In regard to Article 35.) February 15, 1956
At a meeting of the committee appointed at the last Annual Town Meeting to bring in a report of the advisability of establishing a permanent day-time fire department, the following recommendations were made.
That the Town needs a more complete coverage during the daytime hours, when firemen, and especially drivers, are at a premium. That a complete coverage of the two largest housing projects, each located more than a mile from the fire station, requires more equipment and more men getting to the fire as soon as possible.
That if the coverage is complete, that there should be two permanent firemen.
28
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE

That whether or not the town can afford to have two permanent firemen will have to be left up to the recommen- dations of the Finance Board and a vote of the townspeople.

Report for By-Law Committee
Mr. Lyman H. Parmenter, Jr., made report for By-Law Committee that they had met a few times, but wished more time to complete their report.
Report of Committee on Two-Way Radio (Fire Dept.)
The Committee of four appointed by the Moderator have met several times during the latter part of 1955 and in 1956 with the Fire Department Engineers and with several manu- facturing representatives of radio equipment, who have in- stallations in other towns of our size, and also with Civil Defense representatives who have said that the Town can re- ceive matching funds on this type of equipment.
We, the committee of four, do hereby recommend that the Town of Plainville which has been without any telephone communication several times in the past, such as the Suvall fire, Barber Electric fire, Hurricanes, etc., purchase this radio equipment.
The Board of Fire Engineers have planned to place appar- atus during hurricanes at three places in the Town. One at the Guisti Development, one at Benker's Service Station, and the rest at the Fire Station, for the safety and protection of life and property in which case two-way radio is essential. Also, when fighting forest fires out of telephone areas, and a call should come in for someone's home and added assistance is needed the valuable time necessary for this help is almost immediate, either from the local men or from North Attleboro, as they are on the same frequency as Plainville.
29
ANNUAL REPORT
1956
Also, this Town is the only Development in Region 8, ·Mutual Aid set-up, without a radio system.
Cost of this two-way radio equipment for the minimum which can be efficient is approximately $2,500. This consists of three mobile units, one in each of three trucks and a bay station, or main transmitting station at the Fire Station.
Respectfully submitted,

Report Of The Library Building Committee
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Since the completion of appointments to the Library Building Committee, the members have been meeting bi- weekly to make as thorough a study as possible in the time available of the possibilities of new library construction for the Town of Plainville. In doing so the committee has kept steadily before it these conditions:
1. The long history of temporary, inadequate housing for the library and the present poor facilities.
2. The potential book borrowing public of four hundred plus based on the number of readers in Plainville who already patronize the local library and the libraries of surrounding towns.
3. The current growth of Plainville.
4. The number of books needed for adequate library service. Library experience recommends three books per cap- ita for towns up to 10,000 in population.
5. The basic facilities required for library service-space for shelving, seating, catalogs, files, work area, maintenance and lavatory facilities.
30
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE
1956
6. The building should be attractive in its setting, fire- proof, and as low in cost as possible considered from the standpoints of initial cost and upkeep consistent with the Town's ability to build.
To gather data and advice the Committee has consulted local, state, and national library service, made trips to other small libraries, and been guided by the advice of contractors. From these investigations the committee is now prepared to make a report to the citizens.
The location of a new library would be in the 4000 sq. ft. area already allocated in the park in the general site formerly occupied by the Legion Home. The proposed building at the present stage of planning would be modernistic colonial in type 26 x 50. It would be constructed of cement blocks with brick veneer front. With this kind of construction the build- ing would be completely fireproof. The building would be heated by a central heating system which would maintain a comfortable, controllable temperature throughout the build- ing. This is an advantage both for the comfort of library patrons and for the storage of books. The library would be insulated to keep heating costs at a minimum. For beauty, utility, and ease of maintenance, the floor would be of asphalt tile on magnesite. The magnesite serves as a cushion between the tile and cement foundation. Adequate lighting would be provided both by windows and electric lighting. A large area of flexivent windows in the front would provide light and an unobstructed view into and out of the library to South Street. Windows above the book stacks would provide light and ven- tilation in the other three walls. The lighting fixtures would be selected from the considerations of cost, appearance, and ability to provide the necessary distribution of light.
This brief description offers some idea of the kind of building the committee is considering. But since the building was designed from the inside out, as a functional building should be, this report would not be complete without a sum- mary of the facilities and services it will provide. Keeping in mind that the number of books and the space provided for their housing should be based on three books per capita, the committee has provided space to house 9500 books in adjust- able shelving. The collection would be proportioned between adult and children's needs and interests. It would provide table and seating space for both adults and children. For the
31
ANNUAL REPORT
1956
basic needs of library administration there would be room for a charging desk, necessary book catalog files, a workroom, a small storage room for supplies and maintenance equipment, and lavatory facilities for staff use. The estimated cost of a building providing these services and advantages is $17,000.
While all of the study of the Building Committee has not been completed to the extent of the fixing of final details, the Committee believes that enough facts have been established to justify these conclusions and recommendations:
1. The Town of Plainville can have a modern, fireproof library that will provide the possibility of good library service for a growing community.
