Lawrence Moneghan appointed to steering committee of the Southeastern Massachusetts Economic Conference.
Commission adopts policy to communicate with all new and expanding business in the community.
Selectmen appoint Frank S. Miller to fill vacancy left by resig- nation of Gordon A. McDonald.
Chairman attended meeting sponsored by Brockton Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting the Greater Brockton Regional Development Agency was formed, consisting of representatives from Brockton, Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, Holbrook, Whitman, Avon, Abington, Easton, Stoughton, and Rockland.
Chairman appointed Herbert Gordon to head a committee to compile a directory of all business, industry, and tradesmen in West Bridgewater. This directory will tell us what we have in
86
West Bridgewater. A vital part of our program is to maintain a healthy climate for all business presently located here.
Chairman appointed Lawrence Moneghan as Chairman of Industrial Zone Committee. This Committee to study Business and Industrial Zones and make recommendations to Zoning Board for areas to be included in Zoning By-law amendments.
The Commission attended joint meetings of Zoning Board and Planning Board making recommendations for Business and Industrial Zones for proposed Zoning By-law amendments.
The Commission met with one local manufacturer discussing ways of assisting established industry in the town. A meeting was also held with an industrial developer discussing the problems of locating in West Bridgewater.
The Commission is grateful to the Zoning Board for its co- operation and understanding in handling our zoning recommenda- tions. It is a tribute to the oneness of purpose of two boards which can iron out their differences and come to a common ground in the future development of our fine community.
The Commission extends a special note of thanks to Select- man H. Roy Hartshorn for his counsel and his presence at many of our meetings.

LIBRARY SURVEY COMMITTEE
This committee was appointed by the town moderator to make a survey of the facilities of the town library.
The library is being used to an increasing extent by the towns-

Lawrence T. Moneghan, Sec.
87
people. It now serves 550 families and had a circulation in 1956 of 19,871. We recently found it necessary to open the library two extra days a week. The present library is inadequate in many ways to meet the growing needs of the townspeople; the reference room is too small; the children's corner is very limited; there is no decent place for the storage of books-the cellar is too damp for storage, because books will mildew, and the attic is small and too inacces- sible. The heating system is inadequate, while lighting is poor in the main room and totally inadequate in stacks. To remedy this situation there seemed to be three possibilities:
1. An addition to the present library building.
2. A new library.
3. A combination of library and town office building.
Let us take these in order:
1. The library trustees in 1956 received a rough estimate of $17,000.00 to add to the West side of the present library. This did not include the heating or furnishing of the addition nor the cost of remodelling the present building. When an addition is made to the present Junior-Senior High School, the present library will have to be torn down; so that the expenditure of any large sum of money for this purpose will not be advisable.
2. A new library could be built on land owned by the town: on Howard Street, in back of the police-fire station; or on West Center Street, East of the police-fire station. Either location would be easily accessible to the school children. The committee has in- vestigated the possibility of Federal or State aid on this project, and there are no funds available for the building of a library or for the purchase of land for a library. In connection with our study the committee visited a newly-built library in Westwood, Massa- chusetts, and a new branch library in Cochituate, Massachusetts.
3. A third choice is that of a library in combination with some other town building. It has been brought to our attention that a new town office building is needed. It is not the function of this committee to determine this need, but we feel that if a town
88
office building is being considered, it would be wise to combine a new library with a town office building.
We have made arrangements with the State Division of Library Extension to make a survey of our library facilities and to make recommendations which will be available by town meeting.
