TOWN COUNSEL'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
During the past year there was a material increase in the legal problems in which the Town was involved.
A petition by a Trustee to sell certain land given in trust for the benefit of the Town was allowed, the real estate sold, and the proceeds turned over to the Town Treasurer.
A trailer was moved into a residential section and occupied by a family as a residence in violation of the Building Laws, the Plumbing Laws and the Regulations of the Board of Health. As a result a Bill in Equity was prepared and filed in court and a Restraining Order obtained enjoining the defendants, and their agents and servants, from installing or connecting plumbing to a cesspool which they had dug and from using such cesspool. This restraining order was continued by an interlocutary decree which was entered in court and this restraining order is still in full force and effect. Thereafter an article was prepared for the warrant for the Special Town Meeting which was held in June to amend the Zoning By-Laws of the Town by prohibiting in substance the occupying of a trailer within the Town either for business or residential purposes. This article was adopted at the Special Town Meeting and after it had received the formal approval of the At- torney General the Bill in Equity, which had been previously filed, was amended accordingly and an injunction was sought to prevent the defendants from occupying the trailer as a residence. The case was bitterly contested and was advanced by the court for speedy trial. The trial took place in October and two full days were spent in court. The judge took the case under advisement and thus far has not handed down his decision. If the decision should be adverse to the Town, which is not anticipated, an appeal will undoubtedly be taken to the Supreme Court.
A considerable amount of litigation both actual and threatened in which the Town was involved was either settled or otherwise disposed of satisfactorily without expense to, or expenditure by, the Town.
Many Deeds from and to the Town were prepared and re- corded. Other and various legal documents were prepared. Advice was given, and opinions rendered, to various departments of the

TOWN COUNSEL'S REPORT
Town, and many conferences were held with the heads of Town Departments and others concerning various problems in which the Town was involved.
As in the past years most of the meetings of the Board of Selectmen were attended.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The Scituate School Committee wishes to submit its 1953 report. The school housing situation will have improved con- siderably by next September with the opening of the new addition to the high school sometime this winter and the opening of the new Jenkins school next fall.
It should be realized, however, that these new schools do not mean all the students of Scituate will have modern school housing. The old Hatherly School will still have to be in complete use, and plans to replace this building should be under way as soon as pos- sible. The present site at Hatherly is inadequate for a new school, and it has not been possible to buy adjoining land at a fair price. The School Committee, therefore, is having an elementary building site committee appointed to suggest sites for a new elementary school.
The new addition will be of tremendous benefit to the high school. The new laboratories and library will fill a long-needed re- quirement for the college preparatory students, and the new shops, homemaking and business units will provide the non-college stu- dents with the best of equipment for immediate employment after high school. And with the addition of more personnel, these depart- ments will also be more available to the junior high school and the college preparatory students to give them the rounded education needed today.
The Committee wishes to thank the Town for its continued support of the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL J. TILDEN, Chairman DORIS D. WARD, Secretary NELS H. SANDBERG FRED T. WATERMAN ELLEN M. SIDES
