Voted: On motion of Col. Frederic G. Bauer, That the above amendments be adopted by the Town as a part of the present By- Laws.
These amendments to the by-laws of the town of Weymouth were submitted to the Attorney General of the Commonwealth as required by law and were approved by him on August 20, 1927, with the exceptions as indicated in Sections 305, 403, 501, 503 and 505, all mention made as to renumbering section, is stricken out
70

Parts of by-laws stricken out by the Attorney General:
Section 305. (They shall have authority to sell any proper- ty, real or personal, belonging to the town for which the town has no further use, and all property of which the town has possession or title for non-payment of taxes or breach of condition of any deed, mortgage or other conveyance. All such sales shall be by public auction, unless the fair value of the property does not in the judgment of the Selectmen exceed $100, in which case they may sell the said property at public auction or private sale as they deem best for the best interests of the town.)
Section 403. (The Selectmen shall designate one or more re- liable banking institutions as depositories of the funds and secur- ities of the town and may from time to time change such designa- tion. Whenever they shall designate a depository or revoke or change a designation already made they shall enter the fact on their records.)
Section 501. (That the work of excavation shall be done in a manner approved by the Superintendent of Streets) and (To the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Streets.)
Section 503. (In such form as the Superintendent of Streets shall approve.) and (The Board of Selectmen may direct the Su- perintendent of Streets to close up the entrance upon the public way of any private way which does not comply with this section.)
Section 505. (All of this Section is disapproved.)
Approved August 20, 1927, Arthur K. Reading, Attorney General.

This amendment was so voted. The motion as amended was so voted.
George E. Cuniff moved and it was so voted: That the Build- ing Laws Committee be increased by 12 additional members, to be appointed by the moderator. (On April 20, 1927, George L.

Frank Daly, William A. Hodges, George E. Cuniff, J. Edward Mulligan, John P. Hunt and F. Wayland Preston.)
Col. Frederic G. Bauer moved and it was so voted: That the joint Committee hold public meetings.
Mr. George E. Cuniff moved and it was so voted: That any member of the joint committee who fails to attend two consecutive meetings without a just cause, his name on said committee be immediately dropped. This vote was doubted by more than seven voters and on a recount the tellers reported 54 voting in the af- firmative and 22 in the negative.
71
