REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS FOR 1963
The Board met on the first Tuesday of each month for most of the year. The meeting night has now been changed to the first Monday of each month and a notice to that effect has been posted on the bulletin board in Community Hall.
A request was received for permission to erect a sales room across E. County Road from a dwelling. This being a residential district, it had to be referred to the Planning Board for a possible change in zoning .
A request was received for a permit for a family to live in a basement on Pommogussett Road while finishing construct- ion of a dwelling. With the approval of the Board of Health a permit was issued for a period of one year from Oct. 7, 1963.
90
A request was received from a Worcester resident for permission to convert a garage on Grand View Ave. to a temporary dwelling to be occupied while rebuilding the house which was destroyed by fire several years ago. The matter had to be referred to the Board of Health for instruc- tion as to what would be necessary in order to obtain their approval. The Board of Appeals agreed to issue a permit for one year if and when the Board of Health certifies that their requirements have been complied with.
Permission was requested to install 20 new trailers in town. This was denied because it is not permissable under the zoning by-laws.
Notice was given that, by moving a trailer off one lot, the right to use that lot for that purpose had been for- feited. That particular lot is smaller than the size now required for a building lot for a dwelling. However, it was pointed out that it can be so used provided that the date of the deed shows it to have been laid out as a house lot prior to the adoption of the zoning by-laws.
A request was received for permission to convert from four to six apartments the building located at the corner of Central Tree Road and the Sanitorium Road. This building, known as the Huntress House, is in a residential zone and, therefore, it was explained that it could not contain more than four apartments as specified in Section 12(c) of the zoning by-laws. It was pointed out that the only recourse would be an application to the Planning Board for a change in zoning from residential to business.

PROGRESS REPORT OF THE RUTLAND SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
Four years of studying and planning by the school build- ing and planning committee began to show results in 1963. The first of many significant acts was the approval of final con- struction plans by the State School Building Assistance Com- mission on September 9th. The building Committee, in prepara- tion for a vote by the town, made itself available to many groups of townspeople showing slides of the site and proposed building and floor plans. Further preparation consisted of a town hearing that was held on August 10th.
At a town meeting on August 16th, the town voted to raise an appropriate the sum of $765,000.00 for the con-
94
struction and originally equipping and furnishing an elementary school. The sum of $5,000.00 was voted from available funds leaving the sum of $760,000.00 to be raised by the issuance of bonds.
At the meeting on August 20th, 1963 the committee voted to award the general contract to J. E. Antel & Sons, Inc. They were the low bidder. Actual site preparation for our new elementary school began on August 21.
Members of the building committee met with the State Emergency Finance Board in Boston on September 24th and re- ceived approval of the $760,000.00 bond issue at that meeting. The bond issue was dated on November 15, 1963 and bonds were issued for a period of nineteen years at a rate of 3.2%
A clerk of the works was hired on September 18 and by vote of the committee, all equipment for the new school will be purchased by sealed bid according to specifications drawn up by the superintendant's office and approved by the building committee. All bids will be publicly opened and awarded by the building committee.
Barring any unforseen delays, completion of the new building is scheduled for September 1964.
