ARTICLE 29. Housing Project for Elderly Persons.
MOVED by Mr. Withington: 1
71
No action.
Mr. Connolly presented the following report of the Braintree Housing Authority under Article 2.
Mr. Moderator, Town Meeting Members. In the year 1959 the Braintree Housing Authority, aware of its re- sponsibilities, studied the program for housing for the elderly as sponsored by the Commonwealth, and the pro- gram appeared worthy of consideration. Cognizant of this fact the Housing Authority inserted an Article in the Special Town Meeting last fall to see whether the Town of Braintree would approve the consideration of housing for the elderly. At that time the Article was voted No Action. This was due to the fact that there were no existing figures pertaining to Braintree as to actual need of housing for the elderly.
It was decided that the Authority determine the ac- tual need for housing for the elderly based on information from Braintree residents who would need the same and re-present the Article at the March Town Meeting.
The Quincy Patriot Ledger cooperated in inserting a descriptive article with a coupon to be filled in by per- osns who could avail themselves. Letters were sent to all Churches and organizations asking people eligible and wishing same to contact the Authority. At a later date Henry Bosworth in his South Shore Column re- sponded that answers to our question were not forthcom- ing although it was estimated that over 3,000 Braintree residents were 65 or over.
On March 7 the Housing Authority voted unani- mously No Action on this Article due to receiving only 14 inquiries. At the last meeting, March 22, there were a total of only 22 persons in the Town who were interested in supplying us with their names stating they were eligible. As of this date there are only four parties who have contacted the Authority.
The Housing Authority has endeavored to get the facts. We present them to you, the Town Meeting Mem- bers. At various times we have notified the Finance Com- mittee of our progrtss. Based on figures, upon our exper- ience, and upon votes, the Finance Committee also rec- ommended a vote of No Action at this time. With the facts such as until we could present a higher figure of those eligible and desirous of housing for the elderly, I feel sure that progress would have been approved by the Finance Committee.
Mr. Moderator and Town Meeting Members, these are the facts as of tonight. No action of this Town Meet- ing should be construed as a blight on the conditions that may exist in the future if a need is there for housing for the elderly.
SO VOTED (8:27 P.M.) : That the report by Mr. Con- nolly of the Housing Authority be accepted and filed.
72
Comes now the question on the motion by Mr. With- ington of No Action under Article 29.

ARTICLE 2.
Mr. Foley presented the following report of the Committee to look into the feasibility of developing Wat- son Park.
At tht last Annual Town Meeting a committee of seven was appointed to look into the feasibility of the de- velopment of Watson Park. This committee to be com- posed of one member of the Park Commission, four mem- bers from Precinct 5 and 6 and two members at large. This committee was to report at the next Annual Town Meeting or insert Articles in the next warrant as to its recommendations. This committee was organized in October of 1959 and has met several times, including a tour of the Watson Park playground area.
Watson Park consists of over 22 acres and two-thirds of it, because of its proximity to the water, is now not developed. It is the committee's opinion that to de- velop it so that it would all comprise recreation area would be very costly. In addition Article 40 in the war- rant proposes a master plan that the committee assumes will and should include recreation facilities also. Our further activities might be governed to a degree de- pendent upon the action taken on Article 40.
Due to these and many other suggestions and ideas chat the committee has discussed, we sincerely hope that you will accept this as a report of progress and have the committee continued for another year and we will report back at the next Annual Town Meeting our recommenda- tions, inserting Articles in the annual town warrant, if necessary.
Respectfully submitted,
Raymon Nagle Walter Delory Richard Brooks George Garland Harrison Keith Roy Ventura Paul P. Foley, Chairman
