Report of Special Committee for Study of Finance Committees.


At the Adjourned Town Meeting held March 14, 1932, it was voted that a committee of three be appointed by the Moderator "to investigate the advisability of, and the method by which the number upon the Finance Committee be reduced to five or less. That this committee hold public hearings, investigate statutes regarding duties, pro and con, of Town Finance Committees. That this committee have printed and distributed their report and recommendations with the next Town Report, and cause to be inserted in the Warrant an article on the above question, for action by the voters of the Annual Town Meeting in 1933."


Lynn H. Harris, Herbert E. Bryant, and Ralph S. Frellick having been appointed as the committee, organized with Lynn H. Harris as Chairman and Ralph S. Frellick as Secretary. The committee held numerous meetings. After a study of the statutes, the existing practice in West Bridge- water, and the By-Laws governing finance committees in towns of approximately our own size, and after public hear- ings, the committee drew up an amendment to Article III of the Town By-Laws as expressing its final findings. The complete text of the proposed amendment will be found in the Warrant, which carries an article for the adoption of said amendment.


The committee has filed with the Town Clerk a detailed report of its deliberations, including :


46


1. The state statutes governing town finance com- mittees.


2. The present legal status of the finance committee in West Bridgewater.


3. An analysis of by-laws regarding finance committees in towns of approximately the same size as West Bridge- water.


This may be consulted by any interested citizen.
