A report of the Group Insurance Committee was given by Clayton Atwood as follows:


"Acting on the authority of the vote of Article 7 of the Special Town Meeting on December 10, 1956, the Selectmen appointed Town Clerk, Percy B. Simmons, and Town Auditor, Stafford H. Hambly to study with them the provisions of the Chapter of law to provide group life, accident, hospital, medical and surgical insurance for Town employees. The committee met with representatives of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and discussed the proper course of action to follow, namely :


"1. Survey of Town employees to determine the number desiring to participate.


2. An estimate of premium cost to the Town.


3. Acceptance of the act by the Town on an official ballot.


4. An appropriation to defray cost of the premiums.


"The committee abandoned any hope of voting under the Chapter at the 1957 election for lack of sufficient information as to number of employees and the Town cost. It is proposed that complete information in detail will be compiled in a survey, publication of this information will be made, and the voter will be presented with all of the facts before the 1958 annual election.


Respectfully submitted, (signed) CLAYTON H. ATWOOD PERCY B. SIMMONS WILLIAM F. BENEVIDES EARLE M. SMITH STAFFORD H. HAMBLY"

ANNUAL REPORT


(24) VOTED: On motion of Milton Horton that the report of the Town Office committee be accepted as a progress report and the committee be instructed to continue to function as outlined.


The report of the Town Forest Committee was given by David Millard. He reported that there has been nothing done during the past ten years in the Town forests where there is now valuable lumber and timber, but there is apparently no interest in the Town forests. We have several Town wood lots, some of which were set with young trees during the days of the WPA, but no one at present seems to know where all of these lots are located. The Town Forest Committee, made up of the following members: Wilfred A. Hathaway, Harold O. Woodward, Raymond Horton, Henry L. Burt, Lester M. Briggs, Henry Goff, William Andrews, David A. Millard, and Gordon Hixon, met in April and decided to make a recom- mendation that the Town start a Shade Tree project and set out trees along the highways of the Town to replace the elms which are being removed because of disease.


(25) VOTED: On motion of William Benevides that the Town Forest Committee report be accepted as a progress report.


(26) VOTED: On motion of David Millard that the Town ap- propriate and transfer $500 from the Surplus Revenue Ac- count for the purpose of establishing a shade tree project.


A report of the School Buildings Needs Committee was given by Stuart Arnold as follows:


"The School Building Needs Committee again became active when the agreement presented by the Regional District Planning Committee was not accepted. Mr. Walter Candelet resigned as chairman of the Needs Committee but remained as a member. Mr. Stuart Arnold was elected the new chair- man of the committee. To date the committee has met five times and discussed many ideas.


"A review of the school situation as it exists today was


25


ANNUAL REPORT


presented. A daytime tour of the present buildings was taken while classes were in session. As a result of the study and the tour it was decided that the needs were most pressing in the following areas:


"1. The elementary school needs more classrooms.


2. The vocational school area is too small.


3. To run the high school program with courses and enrollments as they are now, extra classrooms are needed.


"The committee arranged a meeting with the Dighton Selectmen and the Dighton School Committee. Several plans were discussed and plans and estimated costs found on page 3 of this report were arrived at as possible solutions to the problem. The plan that seems the least expensive would be one that would call for a regional four year high school, in- cluding vocational training, with Berkley and converting the present high school to a regional junior high school. By doing this grades 7 and 8 would be removed from the elementary school leaving rooms vacant for the first six grades.


"The Needs Committee requested the moderator to ap- point a new regional Planning Committee according to vote of the Town on December 10, 1956. The following committee was appointed on February 28th and has held one meeting with Berkley: Mr. Stuart Arnold, Mr. Robert Bradshaw and Mr. Albert DeSilva.


"It is hoped that this committee working with the Needs Committee, the School Committee and other town officials will come up with a reasonable solution to our problem.
