SPECIAL MEETING


Arlington, March 26, 1926.


Pursuant to the Warrant of the Selectmen served according to law upon the inhabitants of the Town of Arlington by a Constable of said Town and notices sent by mail by the Town Clerk seven days before the day of meeting to the Town Meeting Members, elected and quali- fied to act in Town Meeting's in Arlington, the Town Meeting Members so qualified met in the Robbins Memor- ial Town Hall in said Town on Friday, March 26, 1926, at 7:30 o'clock in the evening.


Lists of the duly qualified Town Meeting Members were used at the entrances of the meeting place and were in charge of James F. Higgins and Philip T. Robin- son. The lists contained the names of two hundred and sixty-one Town Meeting Members qualified to participate and vote in Town Meetings in Arlington.


The Check Lists filed with the Town Clerk at the close of the meeting showed that two hundred and ten members attended the meeting.


The meeting was called to order at 7:35 o'clock by the Moderator, John G. Brackett.


The Town Meeting Members were sworn by the Mod- erator.

On motion of Frederick W. Hill, it was, Voted : That at 8 P. M. this meeting adjourn until 8:15 P. M.


On motion of Frederick W. Hill:

On motion of Frederick W. Hill :


Voted: That Article 1 be taken up.


Article 1 taken up. (Reports of Committees.)


On motion of Frederick W. Hill :


Voted: That the report of progress of the Commit- tee under vote of the Town passed May 28, 1925, to con- sider the amendment, alteration, repeal or revision of or additions to the Town's By-laws be received.


Report presented by Edward N. Lacey as follows : To the Town of Arlington :


The Committee on Revision of Town By-laws ap- pointed under vote passed May 28th, 1925, made a prog- ress report at the Town Meeting held on January 14th, 1926, in which they recommended that the Town petition the General Court for permission to revoke its previous acceptance of Chapter 635 of the Acts of 1912 in relation to tenement houses. The Town has now been given that permission by the General Court, and we recom- mend that the Town revoke its acceptance.


If the Town so votes, it will be necessary to substi- tute for Section 8 of the present Building By-laws, which refers to Chapter 635 of the Acts of 1912, as governing the construction of tenement houses, a new Section 8 which, to a large extent, includes all of the features of the old law on questions of safety and health, but permit a class of construction which will allow a building of much less cost to be built.


88


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Your Committee has carefully studied this matter, held public meetings, consulted building laws of other cities and towns, and conferred with Mr. Gratto, Build- ing Inspector, and Mr. Tierney, Chief of the Fire Depart- ment, and the By-laws placed before you for acceptance include every precaution for the preservation of health and protection of life in case of fire, as will be found in modern building laws.


We also recommend that the Town amend Sections 13 and 16 of our present Building By-laws in regard to wall construction and floor loads. In both these Sections the requirements are much more severe than in other Towns and Cities. This means unnecessary expense to every person undertaking building operations, and also affects every taxpayer in the increased cost of schools and other public buildings. We are told that a substan- tial sum could have been saved in the construction of the Hardy School if a more liberal building regulation had been in effect. All three of the above mentioned new Sections will be found in full in the pamphlet which has just been distributed to every Town Meeting member.


If the new Section 8 is substituted for the old Sec- tion, it will be necessary to amend Article 13 of the Zon- ing law in order to have it conform with this Section.


Article 13 of the Zoning law was drawn up to meet with the requirements of the old tenement house law, which allowed but 50% of the lot to be covered by build- ings, whereas the proposed new By-law allows 60%, and under certain conditions 70% .


With the above three Sections of the Building laws amended, there is no pressing need of any changes in other Sections of the Building By-laws at this time, but we recommend that the work of the Committee continue for the purpose of revising other Sections of the By-laws and to submit at a later Town Meeting a complete revi- sion of building regulations. Questions such as the ap-


89


TOWN RECORDS


pointment of a Board of Appeal and the adoption of a schedule of charges for building permits, also the adop- tion of new plumbing regulations, along lines which have been recommended by Secretary Hoover's Committee after they made exhaustive tests at Washington on this question, all these require careful study and your Com- mittee would like further time to complete their work.


EDWARD N. LACEY FREDERIC F. LOW GEORGE W. KENTY WALTER F. ROBINSON.


Voted : That the report of the Committee under vote of the Town passed January 14, 1926, to procure plans and estimates for the construction of a school building on land of the Town situated on Irving Street be received.


The report was presented by Elliott R. Barker, Chair- man of the Committee.


Voted : That the report of the Committee under vote of the Town passed March 26, 1925, to investigate and consider the matter of additional police accommodations be received.


Report presented by Frederick W. Hill as follows :


The Committee to procure plans and estimates for a new police station in Arlington as provided for under Article 26 of the Warrant calling the Annual Town Meet- ing of 1925 herewith submits the following report:


The Committee organized on June 12, 1925, with Mr. Frederick W. Hill as Chairman, and voted at its first meeting to hold a competition limited to six architects not necessarily residents of Arlington. From a list of architects, nine were chosen from which to select the six who were to be invited to compete. An Australian ballot taken by the Committee resulted in the selection of the


90


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


following architects, who were on Oct. 20, 1925, invited to enter the competition :


GEORGE F. NEWTON ADDEN & PARKER CHAS. G. LORING CHAS. B. DUNHAM WM. PROCTOR KENDALL TAYLOR CO.


George F. Newton, Adden & Parker, and Kendall Taylor Company, being members of the Boston Society of Architects, replied that unless the competition was con- ducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Institute of Architects, they would be un- able to enter. The Committee then got in touch with the Secretary of the Boston Chapter of the Society of Archi- tects and was informed that the Boston Society would be glad to co-operate and would furnish an architectural adviser to assist the Committee without an expense to Arlington. After waiting six weeks the Committee re- ceived word from the adviser designated by the Boston Society of Architects, that owing to the fact that the Com- mittee did not have the authority to make a final choice, the contest could not be conducted under the rules and regulations of the American Institute of Architects. The Committee then prepared its own program and invited Messrs. Wm. Proctor, Chas. G. Loring and Chas. B. Dun- ham to appear before it and receive copies of the program and instructions as to how the contest was to be con- ducted.


On March 2, 1926, three sets of unmarked plans ac- companied by the sealed, unmarked envelopes were opened by the Chairman of the Committee at a meeting held in the Town Hall, Arlington, at which all the mem- bers of the Committee were present. Plans were scored on the following basis: Utility, Architecture, Cost, the scoring on utility and architecture being done before the


91


TOWN RECORDS


envelopes giving the name of contestant and estimated cost of construction, were opened. Each member of the Committee scored separately and did not disclose final score until all the members had completed their scoring. The plans and envelopes were lettered A, B, and C and so scored and rated. The plans and estimate submitted by one contestant were disqualified because the estimated cost of construction was in excess of the limit set by the Committee in the program, as given out to the contest- ants.


A comparison of the other two plans presented resulted in the unanimous selection by the Committee of those submitted by Mr. Chas. B. Dunham of Melrose.


It is the opinion of the Committee that if a building is built substantially in accordance with the plans sub- mitted by Mr. Dunham, the Town of Arlington will have a Police Station constructed and arranged to meet the needs of the Town for years to come.


The Committee therefore recommends the appropri- ation of $115,000 for the construction of a new Police Station, including the signal system and the furnishings under Article 2 in the Warrant for the Special Town Meeting to be held March 26, 1926.


Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK W. HILL, WILLIAM S. FAIRCHILD, ALFRED W. LOMBARD, THOMAS J. DONNELLY, THOMAS O. D. URQUHART.

On the substitute motion of Professor Alexander H. Rice :
