By way of explanation the Carillonic Bells referred to is a series of bell tone generators which produce the effect of a fine Cast Bell Carillon. The instrument would be an English Bell Carillon of twenty-five bell tones in a two octave Chromatic scale and could be played from a small keyboard console. The range of twenty-five tones would permit the per- formance of any composition in any desired key. The bells could be played manually or with the automatic arrangement could be set up for a period of thirty minutes at any time of the day without the necessity of changing selections.


There is also a provision for a Westminister Strike which would identify the hour every fifteen minutes, half hour or once an hour as de- sired. The bells are also set up so that their sounds is directed overhead by stentors parallel to the earth's surface with the result that these sounds are no louder at the source than they would be some distance away. The cost of the bells including installation and service for two years would come within the five thousand dollar bequest.


The Board is of the opinion that this type of memorial would be very suitable and one of which the town could look to with a great deal of pride.


The Board of Selectmen therefore recommends that they be authoriz-


45


ed to establish such a memorial in memory of Doctors Noah Fifield, George F. Fifield, and W. C. B. Fifield and that the sum of $200. be appropriated for suitable ceremonies in connection with same.

Mr. Shaw asked if the meeting wished to hear a report of the Com- mittee on Dutch Elm Disease read at this time. Mr. Hebert advised there are copies of this report available.

in: Provided further, that the annual Moderator appoint a committee of five, to include one member of the Board of Selectmen, one member of the Planning Board, one member of the Appropriation Committee and two citizens who are registered voters of the Town, for the following purposes:


(a) To consult with department heads in order to secure the adoption of such recommendations (appearing in the report (s) resulting from the administrative survey) at the departmental level.


(b) To secure the adoption of those recommendations (appearing in the report (s) resulting from the administrative survey) concerned with the functions and activities of more than one town department, and


(c) To report to the next annual town meeting those legislative changes required in order to secure the adoption of other recommenda- tions (appearing in the report (s) resulting from the administrative survey, and to prepare drafts of the required legislative changes.


The Committee shall be authorized and empowered to draw upon the services of town officials and employees to the extent its members deem necessary to assist it in the discharge of these responsibilities.


This was a controversial Article and involved discussion pro and con as to the merits of the Griffenhagen report. While some were defini- tely against its adoption others thought some points might prove helpful. Mr. Lane cited instances where certain recommendations of the report had been applied successfully and suggested that it be accepted now and the committee permitted to decide what is the right solution. Others speaking included Messrs. Field, Nolan, Negus, Shaw and Cain.


Mr. Fern MOVED That the report be accepted and placed on file.


Mr. Cain offered an amendment to the motion before the house to substitute the word "consider" for "secure" in items a and b, page 23.


The Chair ruled the motion in order but that Mr. Fern's had pre- cedence.

ADJOURNED ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1951


The Adjourned Annual Town Meeting was called to order at 7:45 in the evening of Wednesday, March 7, 1951 by the Annual Moderator, Mr. Daniel L. O'Donnell.


There were 175 Town Meeting Members present.


Prayer - that we all seek the common welfare of all citizens - was offered by the Rev. Fr. John F. Connors, St. Alberts R. C. Church, Wey- mouth.


There were no Town Meeting Members to be sworn in.


The Chair stated if there were no objections we would now consider Article 7.


Mr. Lane for the Appropriation Committee stated Monday's vote under Item 15, Article 1, to give the Police Department a 5 day week, was an act outside the Town Meeting's authority, but that it could be legalized by passage of special legislation.


MOVED That we reconsider Article 1.


SO ADOPTED


Mr. Lane MOVED the following substitute Motion under Item 15:


That the Annual Moderator appoint a Committee of three to include Senator Newland H. Holmes, Representative John L. Gallant and one other member, to petition the present session of the Legislature to secure the necessary legislation establishing a 5 day week for police in the Town of Weymouth in accordance with the vote passed on March 5, 1951 at the Annual Town Meeting on that date approving a 5 day week for members of the Police Department.


UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED


The Chair orally notified Senator Holmes and Representative Gallant that the Committee, which would include Lt. Charles A. Coyle, was to take action immediately to prepare the necessary legislation and promote its passage. It is hoped such legislation will have been enacted by April 1, the date on which the 5 day week is scheduled to take effect.


The Chair asked if any other items under Article 1 are to be recon- sidered.


Mr. Mahoney, for the School Department MOVED that Item 31 be reconsidered to permit the addition of 3 janitors at a cost of $6300 bring- ing the school department budget to $1,205,493.73. $6,300.00 UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED


Mr. Farr for the Fire Department MOVED reconsideration of Item 16, Article 1. (See Item 16, Article 1, March 5 Meeting)


Comes now the question on Adoption of Article 1 as reconsidered and amended


Mr. Cain MOVED That Article 1 be not closed at this time.

The Chair suggested that as this would seem an excellent idea should any further business arise under this Article he would like another vote on Mr. Cain's motion.


Comes the question on the recall vote on Mr. Cain's motion that Article 1 be not closed at this time. The ayes have it and it is


SO VOTED

2. Amendment of Mr. Cain to Article 7 to substitute the word "con- sider" for "secure" in items a and b, page 23.


Upon inquiry from the Chair Mr. Cain said it is not important to so substitute under "c".


Mr. Fern MOVED unanimous consent to withdraw his motion.


UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED


Mr. Lane stated the Appropriation Committee would accept Mr. Cain's amendment.


Discussion followed with Messrs. Nolan and Dizer.


Comes the question on Mr. Cain's amendment to Art. 7.

Comes the question on the Appropriation Committee's Motion as thus amended.


SO VOTED


MOVED


ARTICLE 9. That the Town accept Chapter 538 of the Acts of 1948.


Mr. Lane asked the Chair to have Judge Nash clarify.

A Town which accepts the same vote of its inhabitants at an annual town meeting, may make temporary minor repairs on private ways which have been opened to public use for six years or more. The cost of such repairs shall be paid by the abutters. No such repairs shall be made unless petitioned for by the abutters.

That insofar as Schedule "B" relates to Tufts Library employees they be striken out at this time.


Mr. Jones then enlarged upon the specific specialized training in- volved in Library work and read letters from Stacy B. Southworth, Mass., Board of Free Public Libraries and Mr. K. R. Shaeffer, Simmons College. Mr. Pratt rose to agree with Mr. Jones and expressed the hope his motion would prevail as it has the wholehearted support of the Board of Trustees.


Comes the question on Mr. Jones amendment to Article 11.


Mr. Lane stated that while he is in sympathy with the previous two speakers they had overlooked the salent fact that it is the prerogative of the Personnel Board (Messrs. Sandy Roulston, Edward Butler and Oakley Kunz) to classify all jobs in town.


Followed more discussion with Mrs. Duncan and Messrs. Lane, Pratt, Shaw and Cunniff who received a negative reply to his query if definition of college graduate would affect present employees who are not college graduates.


Comes the question on Mr. Jones amendment to Article 11.


Miss Evarts, Chief Librarian, made a stirring appeal for passage of the motion. She said a good library had two requirements -


1. A well rounded book collection


2. A staff knowing how to organize and use it


Discussion ensued with Messrs. Lane and Fern.
