REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HOUSING HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT
Your committee on housing the equipment of the High- way Department seriously recommends that the time has come when the town should consider the housing of same.
At the present time the town is paying the amount of $275.00 for housing part of the equipment and the High- way Surveyor is storing some on his property without any remuneration from the town, and we believe that the housing and care of the equipment can best be served by having one location which is as near central as possible.
59
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
The equipment in its present condition represents a value of $10,000 and this estimate is by no means a replacement value.
1
Your committee viewed the Sargent property on Ex- change Street with the idea of combining the Fire and High- way Departments, but due to the expense of this plan, which called for an expenditure of at least $40,000, we felt it was not feasible at the present time.
The following properties were next considered as sound propositions to present to the town and are as follows :
The "Nason Stable" property, located on Vernon Street.
This can be bought and repaired at an amount not ex- ceeding $6,500, or space can be rented there for $30.00 per month, if renting is what the townspeople desire.
The land in the rear of the "Jefferson School."
This land can be bought for $1,000 and a building erect- ed at a cost of $3,000 to care for the needs of the Highway Department. This proposition can serve the town in more than one way as it will protect the drainage rights of the Jefferson School which at the present time are allowed only by an agreement, also the locating of the Highway Department there will in no way encumber the adjoinin property values or sites.
We have placed articles in the Town Meeting Warrant for your consideration of these propositions.
Respectfully submitted,
NORMAN J. BEALS, DENNIS COFFEY, CHARLES W. PURCELL,
