And you are required to notify and warn the inhabitants of said Town qualified to vote in Town Affairs to meet at the Town Hall on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1943 at 7.45 P. M., then and there to act on the following articles Article 1. To hear reports of the Town Officers, Agents and Committees, and act thereon. 9 : — Article 2. To choose all necessary Town Officers, Agents and Committees not elected by the official ballot. Article 3. To grant money for necessary Town purposes. See Finance Committee’s Report. Article 4. To see if the Town will authorize the Treas- urer, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to borrow money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1943, and to issue a note or notes therefor, payable within one year, and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than a year in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws. The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article. Article 5. To see if the Town will appropriate $160 for general improvement in any of the Cemeteries, same to be taken from money in the Town Treasury received from the sale of Burial Lots in 1942 in accordance with Chapter 114, Section 15, of the General Laws, or do or act. The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article. Article 6. To see if the Town will appropriate for '‘Water Main Extension Notes Maturing in 1943” payment of prinicpal—$2,000. “Water Main Extension Notes Maturing in 1943” payment of interest due in 1943—$280. “Water Department Maintenance”—$6,800. the entire $9,080 to be taken from “Water Available Surplus,” or do or act. These expenditures are normal Water Department ex- penses. The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article. Article 7. To see if the Town will vote to establish a Planning Board under the provisions of General Laws, Chap- ter 41 (Chapter 211, Acts of 1936), Section 81 A, with all the powers and duties therein and in any existing by-laws of the Town provided, to consist- of six members to be elected by ballot at the Annual Town Meeting in March, 1944, one for a term of one year, one for a term of two years, one for a term of three years, one for a term of four years and two for a term 10 of five years, and thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the statute, or take any action relative thereto, or do or act. The general purpose of this article is to. take ad- vantage of the most recent legislation covering the operation of Planning Boards. Many of our most for- ward looking towns are now operatng under this sec- tion of the General Laws. By approval of the article, the Town would transfer the powers of the Board of Survey from the Selectmen to the Planning Board. The work consists principally in the laying out and ac- cepting of sub-divisions and involves some engineering and surveying and a considerable amount of negotia- tion with owners of property which is to be sub- divided, as well as those who own abutting land. It is a matter closely connected with the development of the Town and in all respects is a matter which should fall within the province of the Planning Board. If as it is now reasonable to expect, a building boom materializes immediately following the war, the work will be in- creased beyond what should be required of the Select- men and will take more time and study than we have a right to ask or expect of them.
