VOTED, That the Town's Zoning By-Law be and is hereby amended by altering the Zoning Map therein referred to so that-"The plot of land lying on the east side of Main Street, Wilbraham, extending seventy-five (75) feet southerly of "Town Lot" and adjacent thereto one hundred (100) feet,"' indicated and defined on said Map as Residential "A", shall hereafter be Business District.
D
VOTED, That the Town's Zoning By-Law be and is hereby amended by altering the Zoning Map therein referred to whereby-"That part of Wilbraham known as the Stony Hill Section, near the Springfield boundary line, more particularly that part of Stony Hill Section at the corner of East Main Street, on the westerly side of Weston Street up to and includ-
51
ing No. 4 Weston Street," indicated and defined on said map as Residential "B" shall hereafter be Business District.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of an amendment to the Zoning By-Law, adopted at the Annual Town Meeting of February 4, 1935 by the Town of Wilbraham, Massachusetts, and approved by the Attorney General of Massachusetts on November 20, 1935.
JENNIE T. ABBOTT, Town Clerk.
The Planning Board will meet the second Monday of each month at 7.30 p. m. at the Town Hall, and special hearings will be held as required. Those interested in this work are invited to attend. Mrs. Abbott has reserved a shelf in the Town Library for literature and pamphlets bearing on Town Planning and here may be found Public Documents, Maps and Planning Board Data from half dozen towns who are solving problems similar to ours which they have kindly sent us at our request. The monthly publications of the Massachu- setts Federation of Planning Boards, which we are members of, are very helpful for those wishing to keep in touch with the latest developments on state and community planning.
Section 16 of the Zoning By-Laws requires that no building shall be erected, or in any way changed as to construction without first obtaining a permit signed by the Building In- spector. There is no penalty provided in the present setup, an omission we hope to remedy. However should a party violate any of the zoning laws through failure to request and obtain a permit, he can be made to conform and in certain cases it might amount to considerable expense.
Section 2, paragraph (g) A Non-conforming use of Land and/or Building-
Special attention is called to this section as in residential districts the removal for sale of sod, loam, clay, sand, gravel, or quarried stone, except when incidental to and in connection with the construction of a building for which a permit has been issued shall be deemed a non-conforming use of land.
There is no question but that Wilbraham's population will be gradually and steadily augmented by those seeking their own homes and more economic freedom. As stated in the Zoning By-Laws, they were formed-"to promote the health, safety, morals, convenience, and welfare of its inhabi-
52
tants." The natural advantages have helped greatly towards this goal, and it is only by vision and looking ahead that we may hope to progress. These By-Laws when established were only planned to form a nucleus and a basis from which to work. It is our purpose during the coming year to make a study of what is lacking and to have some amendments to submit that will bring our Zoning By-Law on a par with those of other towns.

Memorial Day
Memorial Exercises were held at United Church, Wilbra- ham, on the evening of Memorial Sunday. Through the efforts of Rev. Howard W. Orr we were fortunate in securing the services of Robbins W. Barstow, President of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, and an officer during the World War, who delivered the Memorial Address.
The Wilbraham Academy Glee Club and Miss Ruth Dickinson, local soloist, accompanied by Joseph Strong, Jr., of Springfield, organist, supplied a delightful musical program.
All veteran's graves in town were decorated. Wreaths were placed on the monument in Wilbraham and on the bould- ers in North Wilbraham and Glendale.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Wilbraham:
Herewith is submitted my report as superintendent of schools for the year ending December 31, 1935.
Maintenance of School Plant.
An important task of the school department is to keep the buildings in good repair and to see to it that they are kept clean and made convenient and comfortable for the work that is to be done in them. Conditions are never wholly satisfactory. There is always something with reference to the school plant that remains to be done, yet on the whole the school buildings of the town are being well kept up and each succeeding year shows gain in some particular.
Repairs and replacements made during 1935 include new shades at The Pines School, a new sill at the East Wilbraham schoolhouse, a partial rebuilding of the furnaces at the Wilbra- ham Street school, reconditioning of the fences around the schoolhouse yards, at Wilbraham Street and North Wilbraham, painting the exteriors of the main building and the portable
72
at North Wilbraham, and considerable remodelling and interior painting at North Wilbraham.
In proportion to the amount of repairs made the cost has been low. The painting at North Wilbraham was done as an E. R. A. project, the federal government paying for the labor, the school department for the supplies used. The general repairs, in all buildings except at East Wilbraham, were in charge of Mr. Lapine who is employed as a year round janitor at The Pines school with the understanding that he shall use such time as is not needed for his duties as janitor in attending to repairs. While it was necessary to employ some help in addition to Mr. Lapine, still the labor cost for repairs was not great.
There are still things that ought to be done at the North Wilbraham schoolhouse. Because of many complaints of the mud in the yard during wet weather, as an E. R. A. project the surface of the yard was covered with cinders. This has proved unsatisfactory, and the committee has under considera- tion the putting on of some other surfacing material. The basement of the building is not in satisfactory condition. The cement floor put in when the building was erected has very largely broken up, so that for the most part it is not possible to sweep the basement. The school furniture and the floor of the schoolhouse both need attention.
The Pines School Property
The finest public school property in the town is at The Pines. The schoolhouse lot there is over three acres in extent. The six room building erected ten years ago is of excellent brick construction and well adapted to school uses. When the building was put up, it was placed at the rear of the old two room wooden building with the thought that the time would come when the old building would be removed and the part of the lot lying between the new building and the highway graded and made into lawn. The old building is still put to some use. One room serves as a shop for the special class and to some extent for other pupils. The other room serves as a meeting place for the Polish Citizens Club and the Polish Cardinal Athletic Club. But the building is not now needed for school purposes. If it could be disposed of by being removed to another part of the schoolhouse lot or by auction, and the grounds graded and landscaped, the appearance of the school property would be greatly improved.
