As a citizen of this town, you should be aware of the fact that the Extension Service is supported by the county, state, and fed- eral governments, and that a large number of Plymouth County
100
citizens avail themselves of the opportunity to secure free help and information pertaining to the Home, Home Grounds, 4-H Club Work, and Agriculture. Requests for such information should be directed to the Plymouth County Extension Service, Court House, Brockton, Mass.
Funds for the Plymouth County Extension Service are derived principally from the County. Some federal funds are also made available through the University of Massachusetts. Most towns in Plymouth County make an appropriation at the town meeting which is used for the general expenditures of the Plymouth County Extension Service. Town Directors are appointed in those towns where an appropriation is made. These Town Directors are unpaid volunteer leaders who serve as the Extension Service representa- tives in their respective towns.
A Board of Trustees, appointed by the Plymouth County Commissioners, administer the Extension Service program, and is composed of the following members:
Gilbert Blackledge, Whitman, Chairman
Mrs. Harold D. Bent, Brockton
John A. Howe, West Bridgewater
Mrs. A. Harris Kenyon, Hanover (Resigned December 1959) Paul Lehtola, Bridgewater John W. Little, Marshfield
Maurice Makepeace, Wareham
John Prentice, Plymouth Mrs. Herbert Wydom, Brockton

REPORT OF THE STREET LIGHTING COMMITTEE
The recommendations of the committee are as follows:
A 1000 lumen light to be installed at the corner of Highland and Sunset Avenues on pole #34/9 and another on Highland Avenue on pole #68/4 at a yearly cost of $34.00
A 1000 lumen light to be installed at Shag Bark Road on pole #81/3 at a yearly cost of $17.00
Total yearly cost to the town $51.00
106
The above mentioned recommendations take care of all sug- gestions and recommendations received by the committee during the year. The committee wishes to thank Police Chief Eaton and Mr. Fred Mason of The Brockton Edison Company for their assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS W. LaBRACHE, Chairman LESTER W. REYNOLDS FRANCIS CHEYUNSKI JOSEPH A. SALHANEY SUMNER OHLSON
REPORT OF TOWN OFFICE AND LIBRARY SURVEY COMMITTEE
Our committee was authorized to prepare preliminary plans for converting the Town Hall to library use.
We did not have actual drawings prepared, but we did obtain an estimate of the cost of making necessary alterations. The esti- mate amounted to $5,200, not including painting and electrical work, which indicated that the total cost would be approximately $7,000.
The principal reason why we did not prepare the preliminary plans was because the Library Trustees objected to the use of the Town Hall as a library. We all realize that the use of the Town Hall as a library could only be a temporary measure and not a very satisfactory one, but the principal objection of the Library Trustees was that the location would make it very difficult for school- children to use the library.
At its present location in the school yard, the Library is used by the schoolchildren during regular school hours and without creating any traffic hazard. At the Town Hall location, it would be difficult for the schoolchildren to use the Library during school hours, and getting to and from the Town Hall would present a traffic problem.
107
Unless they do have the opportunity to use the Library during school hours, most schoolchildren will not use the Library at all because school bus schedules cannot very well be adjusted for after school hour use of the Library.
The Library Trustees and other interested townspeople sug- gested that instead of the Town Hall it might be more desirable to convert the Front Center School to library use. Not only would the location be satisfactory, but it would also provide more room.
An estimate of the cost of converting the Front Center School was obtained. The estimate amounted to $6,900, not in- cluding new partitions, interior remodeling or other changes, indi- cating that the total cost would probably amount to $10,000. How- ever, this estimate included only the cost of converting the existing heating plant to oil, but if it were found necessary to replace the furnace, an additional $2,750 would be required.
Both of these solutions, converting either the Town Hall or the Front Center School to library use, are unsatisfactory, and the cost to convert and the subsequent maintenance expense would be costly.
For these reasons, the committee feels that consideration should be given to incorporating the Town Library in the next new school building construction on the Junior-Senior High School grounds. Previous school building committees have also considered this possibility.
1
We asked the School Building Assistance Commission wheth- er or not they would approve of incorporating a Town Library in new school building construction. They said that they not only approved of it, they would recommend it. They also told us that the City of Cambridge was including a branch city library in a school building now under construction.
The School Building Assistance Commission would not share in the cost of such a Town Library, but they did agree that the cost of a library built in conjunction with a new school building would cost less than the cost of a separate library building. The cost of the library would be ascertained from bids on new school building construction, both with and without the library.
1
108
Because the committee understands that new school building construction is being considered, it recommends that no action be taken with respect to converting the Town Hall or any other build- ing to library use.
Instead, the committee recommends that the Town vote to instruct any school building committee authorized to build a new school building on the Junior-Senior High School grounds to sub- mit alternate plans which would include Town Library facilities.
After costs have been determined, the Town would be in a position to decide whether or not a new library provided in this manner would be satisfactory.
