SPECIAL TOWN MEETING June 23, 1952
Pursuant to a Warrant duly issued, a Special Town Meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth, represented by their duly elected and qualified Town Meeting Members, was held in the hall of the Wey- mouth High School on Monday, June 23, 1952.
The Meeting was called to order at 7:50 o'clock in the evening by the Annual Moderator, Mr. Daniel L. O'Donnell.
The Town Clerk, Mr. Harry Christensen, read the call of the meeting.
A quorum not being present, the Moderator declared a short recess.
The following Town Meeting Members were sworn in as Tellers:
1st Division-Mr. Mason 2nd Division-Mr. Cronin 3rd Division-Mr. Call
A count was taken by the Tellers, and 141 Town Meeting Members being present, the Moderator declared a quorum.
Upon motion duly made, it was unanimously
VOTED: That the reading of the Article in the Warrant be suspended.
A prayer asking for Divine Guidance at this Special Town Meeting was offered by the Rev. Walter Ribbe, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Weymouth Landing.
Town Meeting Members not sworn in were administered the oath by the Moderator.
We now continue with consideration of the Articles in the Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. To take any action the Town may desire upon the reports of any Town Committees and to appoint or change any committee the Town may think proper.
COMMITTEE REPORT ON PARKING AREA
Your committee appointed by the Town Moderator to investigate the parking facilities at the South Weymouth depot has studied three possi- bilities.
One in rear of present parking area on Derby Street, which we found to be unsuited for our purposes when compared to either of the other two.
Through efforts of Mr. Crehan, the N.Y., N.H. & H. Railroad agreed to allow us parking privileges on west side of track.
The third and most feasible location we found in rear of Alvin Hollis & Company Building, just west of the tracks at the station. This location is easily reached from west side of the track, and will be of great advan- tage to those living on that side, by doing away with crossing the track and avoid congestion at train arrivals. Entrance can be made at Hollis Street and Randolph Street as well.
100
Alvin Hollis & Company have kindly offered this land for the sum of one dollar plus necessary legal expenses, which will be nil. This plot con- tains about 51,000 square feet of land.
This gift will be of great advantage to the Town, inasmuch as it gives them, in addition to the parking area, a strip of land at least 250 feet by 80 feet bordering on their right of way, now used by the Water Depart- ment, for future expansion for storage space without further cost to the Town, plus a 23 feet wide roadway from Hollis Street to parking area.
The cost of construction will be much less than any other location.
Fortunately, the County is contemplating reconstruction of Pleasant Street from Independence Square to Columbian Square, and Selectman Crehan has obtained from this job all excavation for filling the area for parking space. He has also been promised cinders from N.Y., N.H. & H. Railroad.
The cost of asphalt and sand and drainage pipe will be approxmiately $900.00. To this will be added the cost of survey.
ARTHUR I. NEGUS JAMES C. RUSSELL, JR. CLARENCE E. PAUL
MOVED by Mr. Negus of the Committee that:

transfer of a plot of land at the beginning of Bald Eagle Road from the Street Department to the Park Department for dedication in honor of Corporal Arthur Low Adams, and report to the next Special Town Meeting."
Meetings were held by the Committee and estimates were obtained as to the cost of preparing this plot for dedication. These estimates were given to the Appropriation Committee.
