Report of action taken at the Annual Town Meeting and Special Town Meetings in the year 1961
The first meeting of the year was a Special Meeting, which was held February 3, 1961.
Under the first article in the warrant, Mr. James Mulvey read the report of the School Needs Study Committee. It was the unan- imous opinion of the committee that the Town should plan to abandon the Old School Building for educational purposes and attempt to establish a Regional Building Program with the Town of Oakham.
The second article called for the authorization of appoint- ment of a Regional School District Planning Committee in accord- ance with the provisions of Section 14, Chapter 71. This was voted favorably and the Moderator appointed Mr. James A. Mulvey, Chairman of the School Needs Study Committee, Mr. Rollin M. Wheeler of the Rutland School Committee and Mr. Arnold C. Weller, Jr. to this committee.
The third article was to authorize the Town Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, to borrow money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1961, and to issue a note or notes therefor, payable within one year, and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year, in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws. Voted favorably.
The Annual Town Meeting was held March 6, 1961 at which the election of Officers was accomplished. Also under article one the following question appearing on the ballot was voted favorably. Yes 175, No 45, Blanks 47.
"Shall chapter thirty-two B of the General Laws, authorizing any county, city, town or district to provide a plan of group life insurance, group accidental death and dismemberment in- surance, and group general or blanket hospital, surgical and medical insurance for certain persons in the service of such county, city, town or district and their dependents, be ac- cepted in this town?"
The legality of this vote was questioned since it did not appear in the warrant. The Selectmen appealed to the Legislature and an act was enacted under Chapter 391, Acts of 1961 validating and confirming the action.
The remainder of the articles in the warrant were acted upon the following Saturday, March 11, 1961 according to the Town By-Laws.
