ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
ADJOURNED ANNUAL MEETING, MARCH 22, 1954
Pursuant to the vote of adjournment of March 19, 1954, and written notices sent by mail by the Town Clerk, the town meeting members met in the Town Hall on Monday evening, March 22, 1954, to act upon the remaining articles set forth in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting.
Certificates were received by the Town Clerk from the Chair- men and Clerks of Precincts 6 and 7 relative to meetings held on March 22 and of the elections to fill Town Meeting vacancies, as follows:
Precinct 6 - Elinor I. Jennings, 21 Kensington Road, until the next annual election, arising from the failure to elect, by reason of the tie vote for fifth place at the last Annual Town Elec- tion, and
Precinct 7 - James E. Fitchett, 10 Mystic Lake Drive, and Eugene F. Lawlor, Jr., 47 Alton Street, until the next annual election, caused by the removal from the precinct of John R. Allen and David P. Geary, whose terms expire in 1956 and 1955, re- spectively.
Lists of the duly qualified town meeting members were used at the entrances of the meeting place and were in charge of Philip T. Robinson and James E. Sweeney. The lists contained the names of two hundred fifty (250) town meeting members.
The check lists filed with the Town Clerk at the close of the meeting showed that one hundred ninety-six (196) members and eight (8) members-at-large attended the meeting.
The Moderator, Harold E. Magnuson, declaring a quorum pres- ent, called the meeting to order at 8:10 o'clock P. M.
The meeting was opened with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the assembly, accompanied by Mr. Augustus Mazzocca and Mr. Walter E. Russell of the School Department, and prayer offered by Rabbi Leo Shubow of Temple B'nai B'rith in Somerville.
The Town meeting members who had not previously been sworn were thereupon sworn by the Moderator.
On the substitute motion of Malcolm H. Masters of Precinct 6 to amend the motion of Selectman Harris, which was seconded and was declared by the Moderator to have carried on a voice vote, it was
VOTED: That if all the business of the meeting as set forth in the Warrant is not disposed of at this session, when the meeting adjourns, it adjourn to Wednesday evening, March 24, 1954, at 8 o'clock.
