One meeting was called on short notice with two members, Mr. Ralph Chadbourne and myself present.
At this meeting; Mr. Chadbourne very kindly agreed to be Secre- tary of the Committee and we agreed on what steps should be taken to put the Town of Braintree in line to have the first refusal of these barracks.
70
Upon taking up the matter with the Federal Emergency Housing Authority, we were told that they had not received any advice as to the Navy Department's intention of vacating this property. We then asked that the Town of Braintree be given first refusal and we were assured by the Federal Emergency Housing Authority that we would be notified immediately upon receipt of advice from the Navy Department as to their vacating.
However, we were informed that all money under the Federal Act which provided federal funds for the renovating, etc., of such property had been allocated and that unless we could obtain these funds from some other Federal Agency, the Town of Braintree would have to stand the entire cost of remodeling.
We immediately consulted the Town Counsel, Mr. Jonathan French, who advised us that he knew of no other Federal Agency from which we could obtain funds for this purpose.
In view of the above, we have not held any further meetings, awaiting instructions from the Town Meeting."
Mr. Mower moved: That the foregoing report be accepted as a report of progress .- Carried 8:48 P. M.
Mr. Mower moved: That the Special Town Meeting be adjourned. -So voted 8:49 P. M.

QUESTION NO. 1 Law Proposed By Initiative Petition.
Shall this measure, which by amendments of the General Laws (Ter. Ed.), provides for payment by the Commonwealth of adequate pensions to deserving citizens sixty-five years of age or over in need of relief or support, who shall have resided in the Commonwealth not less than five years immediately preceding the date of applica- tion for such pension, and who shall have resided in the Common- wealth continuously for one year immediately preceding said date of application, which is further described as follows :-
The measure, by amendments of General Laws (Ted. Ed.), c. 6, provides for an old age pension commission of three persons, one to be a qualified physician, another to be an attorney at law and a third to be a non-professional person, who are to be appointed and may be removed for cause by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Council, and are to serve under the Governor and Council. Not more than two members of said Commission shall be members of the same political party. Original appointments of members shall be for one, two and three years respectively, and thereafter appoint- ments are to be for three years. Such members are to devote their whole time to the work of the Commission during business hours and be engaged in no other business, occupation or profession. One of their number is to be designated as chairman by the Governor and shall receive a salary of $6,000, and each other member $5,500 per year, with their necessary expenses. The Commission is em- powered to make and enforce rules and regulations as it may deem necessary in the performance of its duties and as may be approved by the Governor and Council.
The measure strikes out chapter 118A of the General Laws (Ter. Ed.), and inserts in its place a new chapter entitled "Adequate pensions for certain aged citizens."
It is provided that pensions hereunder shall be paid from the date of application therefor, but in no event before the applicant reaches the age of sixty-five. The Commission shall render a decision in not less than thirty days from the date of application for a pen- sion or a request for an increase of the amount thereof. Such pension shall, wherever practicable, be paid to the aged person in his own home or in lodgings or in a boarding home, which for the purposes hereof shall include any institution providing shelter, care and treatment for aged persons which is not supported in whole or in part by public funds; provided, that no inmate of such a boarding home or institution shall be eligible for a pension under this chap- ter while being cared for under a contract. Such pension shall be paid by check or in cash which shall be delivered to the pensioner at his residence, if he so requests, and shall be paid semi-monthly unless the pensioner prefers less frequent payments. Such pension shall be on the basis of need and the amount thereof shall be de- termined in accordance with budgetary standards established by the Commission. Budgetary standards shall be such as to enable an individual pensioner to maintain a standard of living compatible with decency and health. Such pensions, except as hereinafter pro- vided, shall be at the rate of not less than $48.00 monthly. The pen- sioner's budget at such times as may be required shall include medical care, if recommended by a recognized physician, eye-glasses, if recommended by a recognized optician, dental care and false teeth, if recommended by a recognized dentist.
In computing the pension's payment under this chapter, the Commission shall deduct from the pensioner's budget or the mini- mum payment, whichever is greater, the amount of income the per- son paid or to be paid a pension hereunder may be receiving from
72
any source, and may deduct therefrom such reasonable amount as may be deemed to represent the financial value of board, lodging or other assistance which is being furnished to such persons from any source.
Upon the death of a person drawing a pension, whose funeral cost does not exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars and in whose estate there are insufficient assets to cover the full cost of the funeral, the Commission shall pay to the funeral director the difference between the assets and the cost of the funeral, a sum not exceeding one hundred and twenty-five dollars.
Expenses for medical, hospital and other services rendered to a pensioner, which remain unpaid at the time of his death or com- mitment to an institution as an insane person, shall be paid directly to the person rendering such services.
