ARTICLE 36. Report of Committees. As a result of several meetings of study covering the Town Office ex- pansion, your Committee submits the following proposals. Taking into consideration there are three possibilities of expansion. That is: 1. By adding on to the side of the present Town Office building, for which investigation has indicated there is not sufficient land available without a provisional vote by the Legislature. 2. Adding a sec- ond floor to the present offices, which in consideration to the older people of the town was discarded. 3. It is felt most advisable and we recommend, that the Town of Plainville take steps and make provisions for the fu- ture erection of a new one-story Town Office building to be erected on the land presently owned by the town and located on the old school building site, on the corner of School and Spring Streets. This building to be designed to house all of the major offices of the town with the ex- ception of the Police Department, which would, at its present rate of growth, require the additional space that would be available. We further recommend that a com- mittee of seven (7) be appointed at this time, said com- mittee to consist of one member of the Board of Select- men, the Town Clerk, the Town Treasurer, one member of the Board of Assessors, one member of the Finance Committee, and two legal voting residents of the Town of Plainville, to investigate and submit possible plans, speci- ficiations. and the cost of a new Town Office building for the Town of Plainville for consideration at the next annual Town Meeting.

It further provides that any property the income of which is taxed under the provisions of the proposed Article may be exempted from the imposition and levying of proportional and reasonable assessments, rates and taxes as at present authorized by the Constitution, and that the Article shall not be construed to limit the power of the General Court to impose and levy reasonable duties and excises.
