Report of The Protective By-Law Review Committee


The Protective By-Law Review Committee has held several meetings during the last few months and has kept close watch over those changes adopted at last year's Town Meeting.


After study by this Committee, it was deemed advisable to offer an Article tightening up the cottage-colony require- ments, and also to recommend that certain changes be made in the Building Code, which we believe will improve this code.


We suggest that the Articles pertaining to both the Building Code and Zoning be approved.
