WHEREAS the death of George Clifford Shields on April 8, 1966 removed from
our midst one who had lived in Mansfield more than four score of his 89 years,
and
WHEREAS Mr. Shields served with outstanding effectiveness and inspiring
dedication in many important civic assignments, including leadership in the
town's Old Home Week observance in 1903, the chairmanship of the original
sewerage system investigating committee of about 50 years ago, the executive
committee which planned and directed the memorable week-long observance of
the 150th anniversary Of the incorporation of Mansfield as a town in 1925, the
committee to investigate the town manager plan of government, the first Finance
Committee under the manager plan for three years starting 1931 with reappoint-
ment in 1934, and the War Price & Rationing Board here during World War II
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the Board of Selectmen of Mansfield, express the
community's gratitude for this long tenure of unselfish service and exceptional
loyalty, and record profound regret that a personality so close to town progress
for more than three quarters of a century should have been called to even greater
service, and
BE IT RESOLVED that these resolutions be spread upon this indelible municipal
record.

To the Citizens of Mans field:
Please accept this as a report of the affairs of the Town for 1966.
The reports of the various departments, boards and committees present
herein details of their accomplishments during the year.
The Town is in excellent financial condition. Invested funds earned
$10,058.00.
Printed separately in this report is a list of recommendations submitted by
me for the better operation of the town, as well as the future needs of the town.
Relief for the property taxpayer came this year in the form of a general
sales tax which amounted to approximately $180,000. in 1966, and for the year
1967 I anticipate that the town's share of the State sales tax will amount to
approximately $300,000.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Selectmen, members of
the various boards and committees, and my municipal co-workers for their
assistance and cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE L. YOUNG

Report
of Town Manager
This report of the physical aspects of the Town of
Mansfield and its needs for the foreseeable future is
prepared at the request of the Board of Selectmen,
and covers not only my areas of responsibility, but
also those areas with which I am familiar, but not
directly responsible.
Mansfield's 1966 population (1965 census) is 8,620;
its area 20 square miles; population density about
410 per square mile. It is serviced by about 85
miles of town and State -Aid roads. The school sys-
tem's average daily membership is about 2,160 pupils
(11/17/66). Growth over the past three years has
averaged over one hundred ' (100) pupils annually.
It is my best estimate that barring any large hous-
ing development, Mansfield will grow about 400
people annually over the next ten years.
The local property tax base should increase about
one million dollars annually for the foreseeable
future realizing about an additional $40,000. The
Sales Tax forecast by the State for Mansfield is
about $300,000. annually, (so far the returns do not
indicate as much).
Basically the town budget of about $2,200,000.00
for 1966 will increase an average of 10% annually
minimum. My best estimate of the needs of the
town outside of the school department by depart-
ments is as follows:
HIGHWAY: CHAPTER 90
This program after completion of Elm Street and
Franklin Street should be programmed for $10,000.00
annually for construction and $5,000. for mainte-
nance for the town's share. A partial list of eligible
streets are West Street, Gilbert Street, Maple
Street, and perhaps Williams Street. It takes
about four to five years to accumulate funds for one
mile of Chapter 90 construction.
TOWN ROAD'S
We have about 75 miles of town roads which need
improvement. A partial list includes Otis Street,
Fruit Street, Mill Street, Willow Street and Tremont
Street. These and other streets should be laid out
by survey, land taken, utilities moved, drainage in-
stalled, new base gravel and new pavement. I esti-
mate that it would cost about '$50,000.00 to $75,000.00
per mile to complete one mile of town road using
town forces at the rate of one mile per year.
REPAVING PROGRAM
We have twenty-five (25) miles of town roads
scheduled for repaving over the next five years,
including 1966. This program the first year did not
cover the full five miles due to lack of funds.
Type ST mix used in this program increased 50%
in 1966 over the 1965 plant price. Based on 1966
prices my estimate of annual needs is $30,000.00 for
25,000 feet of roads.
8
BA'C'K BAY BROOK
The best information available to me indicates
that the program will need $25,000. in 1967 to com-
plete the program to Court Street. This means a
total of $125,000. from below Eddy Street to Court
Street on a 50% State, 50% Town share. To extend
it further would require an equal amount to reach
Samoset Avenue. If we try to go it alone we will
have to do without the State's share.
The Town, acting as its own general contractor,
using a subcontractor to install the required pipe,
etc. would .probably cut the costs in. half, that is
from Eddy to Court Street would cost about $60,000.
to $65,000.
SIDEWALKS
There are approximately 25 miles of sidewalks
presently in the town. Not all of these are in the
right places. Most of the sidewalk mileage is in fair
to poor condition. I recommend a program of side-
walk maintenance including resetting of curbs, re -
pouring of sidewalk slabs and driveway slopings.
Estimated cost, $2,000. .for materials only annually,
if done with town forces. This program would be
confined to the central areas.
For new sidewalks on Chapter 90 Construction we
will require $5,000. for paving Elm Street sidewalk
in 1967, and $5,000. for paving Franklin Street side-
walks in 1968. For additional sidewalks requested
including East Street from the High School to Lawn -
dale Road; Pratt Street from the Catholic Church
to East Street; Chauncy Street; Copeland Drive to
South Walnut Street totals 8,200 feet at '$5.00 per
foot. Estimated, this would total $41,000. This esti-
mate does not include any cost involving surveys,
land takings, retaining walls or engineering design
work.
EQUIPMENT—HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The department's equipment consists of 4 dump
trucks; 2 sanders, truck mounted; 1 catch basin
cleaner, truck mounted; 1 trash truck; 2 sidewalk
plows; 1 grader; 2 loaders; tractor -mower; 3 pickup
trucks; 1 small Cletrac, sweeper; 1-10 ton roller;
1 one -ton roller; cement mixer; 1 drag broom; 1
compressor and miscellaneous equipment. Total re-
placement value of this equipment at today's prices
is estimated to be $240,000. Based on a proper re-
placement schedule the annual appropriation should
be about $34,000. for the Highway Equipment Re-
serve account.
STREET DRAINAGE
The handling of storm drainage in Mansfield has
been done without any sort of planning. If and when
the Back Bay brook reconstruction is completed,
those areas of Back Bay will have satisfactory storm
drainage if installed properly.
nend that a complete drainage study be
e town. Federal loans, interest free, are
ar this study.
eantime, I recommend that the drainage
i North Main Street between the News
Park Street be authorized for construe -

WATER DEPARTMENT
our Water Department pumped 528,685,300 gal-
lons of water in 1966 in comparison to 507,621,000
;allons in 1965. This represents about 1.4 million
gallons per day average with peaks of 2 million
gallons per day. This means we must maintain a
pumping capacity now of about 2,000 gallons per
minute with additional capacity developed as soon
as possible.
As you will note in the EgMipment Reserve Ac-
count we have started a planned replacement pro-
gram for some equipment. There is still no reserve
for replacement of the machines and pumps needed
for the various pumping stations.
Main replacements and additions are needed in
many areas, some of which are: new 8 inch main on
South Main Street from Fruit Street to the town
line; extension of main on Fruit Street to the Nor-
ton town line;` cross connection of Fruit Street to
Ware Street `via Short Street.
Pipe costs installed will vary between $10.00 per
foot to $15.00 per foot depending on the size and
type, and trenching including design and engineering.
There- may be need of a standpipe in the vicinity
of ;Stearns Hill to improve water .pressure on the
east side in the future, probably in connection with
new wells on East Street.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
This department suffers for a lack of detail plan-
ning necessary to establish the areas which need
sewers, and how best to provide such services to-
gether with costs.
The installation of 6 inch or 8 inch sewer mains is
presently costing about $15.00 per foot installed in-
cluding engineering costs.
The sewer treatment plant is now under contract,
and the contractor has 400 calendar days to com-
plete, which would extend the final completion' date
to early 1968.
The infiltration of water during heavy rains or
high water table periods amounts to about 2.5 mil-
lion .gallons of water per day. This infiltration' must
be found and reduced to a minimum. Cost of this
work may be equal or exceed that of laying new
sewers.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
It is now time for the Board of Selectmen to
consider the use of labor saving machinery to handle
the ever increasing load of paper work involved in
the running of a town, and the keeping of its finan-
cial records.
The Town Accountant and Town Treasurer have
viewed a Burroughs operation in a nearby commun-
ity and concur in the need for such a machine.
I have had three years' experience with a Na-
tional Cash Register machine installation, and have
found that it saves time and labor.
It would not of itself reduce the amount of per-
sonnel, but would eliminate the necessity of the
adding of personnel as the paper work increases.
The cost of such an installation will run about
$12,000. to $14,000. including training of our person-
nel by the vendor.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department equipment has a replace-
ment dollar value of $206,000. If a proper reserve
for replacement of the existing
equipment were
i
started it would require about $44,500. this year,
and smaller amounts in future years, with all equip-
ment replaced ;by 1975. Based on our immediate
needs, the Fire Chief and I are recommending
$20,000. annually for the next three years in the
Equipment Reserve Account with $10,000. annually
thereafter.
This would replace Combination #1 in 1967, and
a pickup truck. It would replace the Chief's car in
1968 and the ambulance in 1969, and provide for
replacement of Combination #2' in 1972; Engine
#1 in 1971 and Ladder #1 in 1975.
TOWN BUILDINGS
We are faced with an early decision on the present _
Town Hall. It would appear to me that the cost of
rehabilitation of the Town Hall would total in the
neighborhood of $200,000. including the engineering,
architect and associated surveys. This does not
include the replacement cost of the heating system
which was poorly laid out, and does not adequately
heat the Town Hall. I urge the Selectmen to give `
serious consideration to the construction of a, new
Town Office building, including a Police Station.
One possible location for this is the site of the old
Central School on Villa Street.
The cost of a new building would range from
$250,000. to $300,000.' with some possible help from
the Federal Civil Defense Agency if the basement
were constructed as a Civil Defense Headquarters.
The Fire Station should have a new roof this year
at a cost of approximately` $13,000.
All 'town buildings should be surveyed as to their
needs and a maintenance program should be set up
to maintain the buildings in a proper` state' of repair.
ELECTRICLIGHT DEPARTMENT
The Electric Light' Department has a replacement
value of approximately $2,000,000. Its annual rev-
enue exceeds $700,000.00. Each year it returns to
the town in lieu of taxes $50,000. In addition, the
9
Light Department absorbs the cost of the new street
lighting which amounts annually to about $30,000.
on a three year program.
In addition to all of these benefits, the residents of
Mansfield pay a lower electric rate than the sur-
rounding towns serviced by private utilities. This
savings amounts to about 10% of your monthly bill.
The need for long-range planning is clearly indi-
cated in order to maintain the excellent quality of
service that has been rendered in the past.
Minimum capital expenditures totalling over
$1,000,000. must be made within the next twelve to
fifteen years.
Our most immediate need is for outlying sub-
stations, the first of which should be placed in West
Mansfield.
Highway Department
The following road work was completed in 1966:
Resurfaced High, Villa, Fulton Streets, Winthrop,
Rumford, Highland, Draper, Bella Vista and Warren
Avenues, Avon, Creedon, Clinton, Newton, Linden
Streets and Park Avenue. Sections of West and
Otis Streets were sealed. Perkins Avenue was re-
constructed and oiled. The apron at the Airport
was reconstructed and oiled.
School Street was resurfaced under Chapter 90
Maintenance. Elm Street, a Chapter 90 project,
was started and will be completed in 1967.
Drainage work consisted of repairing broken pipes
and cleaning catch basins. Three new basins were
installed on Morrow Street and piped to the river.
One new basin and pipe were installed on Spring
Street. All the brooks and culverts were checked
and cleaned.
The Department's regular work is to pick up rub-
bish, maintain park, commons, cemeteries, Little
League fields, plow snow, sand roads and sidewalks,
clean parking lots and the Airport, keep tops of
basins clean, repair or replace damaged signs, paint
crosswalks and guard rails, cut and remove brush,
gravel and grade all dirt roads, patch holes and
water trenches in roads, maintain town dump, repair
all highway equipment, sweep all roads of winter
sand and leaves in the fall
The roads to be resurfaced in 1967 are: Morrow
Street, Webster St., Noonan St., Perkins Avenue,
West Cottage St., Dean St., Summer St., Howe St.,
Coral St., Bliss Ave., Carpenter Ave., Myrtle St.,
Campbell St., Henry St., Fowler St., Walnut St.,
Spring St., Union St., Davis St., Horace St., Park
Row, Webb Place, Wilson Place, Cobb St., Aspen St.,
Beech St., Chestnut St., Edgewood St., and sections
of Rock St., Cottage St., North Main St. If funds
are available, these roads will be completed, other-
wise they will be carried over to the next year.
Edward Dunne, Superintendent
Construction of new asphalt -paved Elm street, mile long, from New Haven Railroad overpass to Mansfield -Norton
boundary, was 55 percent complete when winter halted work. Photo shows not only new width of improved highway
but new curve at junction of Oak street, looking west toward West Mansfield Center.
Water Department
Superintendent, Joseph Albertini
In 1966 six hundred eighty-seven feet of eight
:h transite was installed on Maple Street over the
�noe River Bridge to replace the old eight inch
�e that had broken under -the Canoe River. This
;cores the loop from Cate Station to Franklin
reet once more. The cost of this construction was
,130.45.
on Elm Street three hundred sixty-one feet of
inch cast iron pipe replaced two inch pipe line
the Norton town line. One new hydrant and two
inch valves were also installed at a cost of
50.45.
Due to the new construction of Elm Street eight°
Tdrants had to be moved' and reset.
alves were also installed on each
Tdrant that previously had none. Also
tree new hydrants were installed where
ceded because of new homes being
jilt. Two new six inch valves were
so installed on six inch main on Elm
treet. This cost was $1,762.00. This
ork was done by the Joseph T. Iacuzzi
onstruction Company of Attleboro Falls,
The precipitation in 1966 was 35.44 inches com-
pared to 27.11 in 1965, an increase of 8.33 inches,
but still below normal.
In 1966, 528,685,300 gallons of water were pumped
in comparison to 507,621,000 gallons in 1965.
Boston engineers prospected in several parts of town last summer for
new sources of water. This drilling operation in Witch Pond area of
West Mansfield, west of Route 95, has possibilities of producing a
million gallons daily for future consumption, but officials await state
approval of quality.
On Bliss and Carpenter Avenue seven
hundred feet of six inch cast iron pipe
was installed to replace one and one-
half inch pipe. Also two tapping sleeves
and valves, one hydrant and one six inch
valve. This completes loop from School
Street to West Street. Cost of this work
$1,290.00. This work was also done by
the Joseph T. Iacuzzi Construction Com -
pang.
A new hydrant was installed by the
Water Department on the South side
of East Street at the entrance to the
town dump.
Maintenance work has been done to
improve water sheds at Cate Station and
wu�
West Mansfield Station.
Hydrants were painted according to
ti
need with fluorescent paint. Also sticks
were added.
The Water Department installed forty-
seven new services and renewed fifty
services.
Seventy-five new meters were pur-
chased and added to the system.
The precipitation in 1966 was 35.44 inches com-
pared to 27.11 in 1965, an increase of 8.33 inches,

Fire Department
Fire Chief, Cyril N. Bellavance
It is my pleasure to present to you my Annual
Report of the Mansfield Fire Department.
BUILDINGS
The exterior of the West Mansfield Station was
painted in 1966.
The Central Station needs a whole new roof this
year. The 37 year old roof has been kept patched
for the last 8 to 10 years by the firefighters but is
now beyond the stage of patching. Roofing experts
have recommended this be done immediately before
more extensive damage develops.

Mansfield Conservation Commission
The Conservation Commission in 1966 was in-
creased from five to seven members by the addition
of Robert H. Calhoun, and Donald V. Stewart, who
were appointed to one year terms. Other Commis-
sion members are Clinton R. Foster, Chairman,
Henry J. Carlos, Warren R. Jones, Carlton S. Mason
and Harry B. Chase, Clerk.
Regular meetings are held on the second and
fourth Tuesdays of each month.
Our principal efforts in 1966 were directed to-
ward the acquisition of several town -owned parcels
of land, to form the nucleus of a "green belt"
which we hope to complete through purchases, or
gifts, of land from individual owners. By nearly
unanimous vote of the Town Meeting of December
12, 1966, control of these parcels was transferred
to the Conservation Commission.
,In the Canoe River basin, between the Foxboro
line and East Street, we acquired approximately 195
acres, exclusive of the Cate Spring area and the
town garage and gravel pits.
We obtained an additional small parcel fronting
on Ware Street and extending back nearly to Canoe
River, which :in future will serve as an" entry to
whatever backland we may acquire.
Finally, the Commission obtained ownership of
Fulton's Pond, and of .the land beneath Kingman's
Pond, with some of the shore property adjoini
both ponds.
On the Canoe River tract, a three-mile natt;
trail is ;being cut out and marked. In order to r
this trail on both sides of the river it was necessa
to trespass on private land to the east of the "gre
belt" area. For permission to run a part of t
nature trail through the backend of private land
are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. William G. Mort(
560 East Street; Mrs. Anna H. Willand and N
Charles Willand, 566 East ,Street; Mr. and Mi
Stephen Grubick, 574 East Street; Mr. and M
Harold J. Bishop, 240 Franklin Street; and Mr. L
VanKoert, 344 Franklin Street.
All of the property acquired by the Commissic
is to be kept as nearly as possible in its natur
state, for the present and future use and enjoymei
of the people of Mansfield and preservation of the
water resources.
The Commission welcomes inquiries from anyoi
desiring to turn their land over to us for a perpetu
wildlife sanctuary, either as a gift, or as a rely
quishment by sale.
We wish to thank the Town Manager, the Boat
of Selectmen, and the people of Mansfield for the
generous assistance and understanding in 1966.

Clerk of the Commission
Welfare Department
Through the efforts of the Federal and State
Governments, the year 1966 saw the implementation
of Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security
Amendments of 1965, "Medicare" and Medicaid"'
respectively.
With its conception on 7/1/66, giving extensive
health coverage to millions of needy Americans 65
years of age and over, "Medicare" also brought
acute rises in hospital rates and in doctors' fees.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, lagging
behind other neighboring states, had its Medical
Assistance program, known also as "Medicaid", ap-
proved by the Federal authorities effective 9/1/66.
This makes an estimated 160,000 children in the
State eligible for .medical benefits previously denied.
What the cost will be is hard to project, but even
with 50% Federal funds, the number of new cases
will create a substantial increase in total expendi-
tures.
Under new Federal caseload standards, which are
mandatory as of 7/1/67, this department needs an
additional social worker. I suggest that you do not
16
wait until that date, but follow the recommendati
of the State Department of Public Welfare and
the position as soon as possible.

Fines
Fines amounting to $530.39 were collected on
overdue books.
Gifts
During the year 1966 the library was the recipient
of two valuable gifts. The Lions Club of Mansfield
chose the library as one of their projects and gave
the Massachusetts General Laws—Annotated (48
volumes) and Encyclopedia Britannica (23 volumes
and Index) . These have been widely used during
the time we have had them.
In November the Fuller brothers of Foxboro,
Clarence and Corodon and their cousin Carleton
gave to the Library microfilm copy of the Mansfield
News from its beginning in the year 1873 through
the year 1965. With the film was the Recordak
reader which may be used by the public at any
time. We are hopeful of being able to continue to
have the paper on film during the future years.
The Library Trustees wish to acknowledge the
following gifts of books:

Church:
"Roller Skates" by Ruth Sawyer.

We are grateful, too, to our many borrowers who
have brought books to us which they no longer
needed, but have made attractive replacements for
badly worn copies in the collection. Among the
books given to us have also been some out -of -print
items which we could not obtain otherwise, and
have used to replace missing volumes.
The physical changes have been many during the
year 1966, and some have been long awaited. The
roof of the Library has been completely repaired,
and combination windows installed, making the
building much more comfortable during the winter
months.
Three large electric fans, strategically placed,
helped to keep the library a pleasant place to stay
during the hot summer.
Trouble lights were installed in the Main Library,
both behind the desk and over the front staircase,
as well as in the Children's Room.
The final C'antoria Panel was re -finished and hung
in the Young Adult section of the Library.
In the Main Library all of the shelving in the
fiction alcove has been repaired and adjusted to a
more satisfactory level for the books that are cur-
rent today. Where necessary new, shelves were in-
stalled.
A little -used storeroom in the basement has been
transformed into a bright, attractive 'extra -room
with the installation of ceiling and walls painted a
light color, and book and storage shelving built on
all the walls. This is an ideal place for the storage
of magazines which are greatly in demand for cer-
tain home -lesson assignments, and books of our
collection that are not in demand but must be kept.
Displays
The large display case in the library continues to
attract much attention with its constantly changing
treasures: among Ahose which have given pleasure
during the year were exhibits on Hawaii, Old Valen-
tines, Photographs of New England, Japan and
Scotland, Book Binding, Scuba Diving, Visible Man,
Bird Prints, Ceramics, United States History, Treas-
ures from All Over the World, Samplers and old
Bookmarks, and Christmas in Many Lands including
the Creche.
Activities
National Library Week was again observed during
the end of April with Open House at the Library.
Several hundred new books were displayed both in
the Adult and Children's sections. A program
showing "tribal Indian dances by the Order of the
Arrow attracted about one hundred patrons, and
was thoroughly enjoyed. Refreshments were served
by the trustees and the library staff.
The Literary Department of the New Century
Club have held several of their meetings in the
library, and plan to continue.
The Summer Reading Club ` was held again, and
was a great success. The themewas "Circus Pa-
rade and in an effort to encourage the school
children to use the library during the summer and
to attend the Summer Reading Club'' meetings, post-
ers were taken to all six schools in town with classes
of the proper age. Attendance at, these meetings
was satisfactorily high, and a very; large number
of children received certificates. The final meeting
was a party in Memorial Hall with games, refresh-
ments, and awards to those reading the most books.
We look forward to a Summer Reading Program
again in 1967.
Our -thanks is due to the Mystic Club in West
Mansfield for their generosity in allowing us the use
of the building, to circulate books for the children
in that area during the summer months.
Starting in October there was a change of hours.
In an effort to help the students who were on the
double sessions the Children's Room is being kept
open until 9 P.M. both Monday and Friday evenings.
The entrance from the Main Library is used from six
until nine on these evenings rather than the regular
door. In this way parents can see children in the
Children's Room and then come and select their
own books without having to go out into the street.
The staff has begun work on taking inventory of
the collection. As this has not been done for many
years it is already evident that the missing list will
be very extensive. It will be a full year before a
general count can be made and we are sure at that
time that our collection figure will be much smaller
than is listed at the beginning of this report.
One of the final purchases of the year was a group
of books which were not in the library but were on
the reading lists at Mansfield High School. We are
very pleased to have received these lists and at
present have bought fiction, biographies, and general
non-fiction which we did not own, and hope in the
coming year to complete the purchase of the titles
which are not in our catalog.

Report of the Office of Veteran's Services
The principal trend in the administration of vet-
erans programs involves increasing costs of medical
expenses, doctors, hospitals and drugs. Some relief
has been obtained on the Medicare program in re-
ducing costs of our elderly veterans and their
dependents. Despite all rumors going around, this
program is really working. It has not affected us
much as yet but bids fare to be more successful as
time goes on. The Town Veterans Department is
taking full advantage of all that it has to offer.
The other most pronounced development in 1966
has been the passage by Congress of the new so
called Vietnam Bill of Rights. This opens to all
veterans with service equal to at least 180 days
18
since the close of the Korean period eleven years
ago, most of the rights given to earlier veterans.
Most important of these is schooling, loan guaranty
and hospitalization. Not included is non -service
connected pensions. Also the state has not set up
any veterans bonus. The Federal GI Bill became
effective on June 1, 1966. Since then the State has
passed a bill effective December 9, 1966, granting
most of the State rights including Civil Service
preference to veterans similarly qualified with 180
days continuous service.

were installed on two buildings during the year, and
part of one gutter replaced on another unit. Work
has been started on downspouts on the ends of gut-
ters on each unit, to take care of water that has
been lodging in these spots, due to buildings settling.
It is still hopeful that either wooden or iron railings
will be installed at the back of each apartment in
the Spring of this year. All outside heating controls
on units were serviced, for perfection in heating. A
number of folding doors on closets, in need of re-
pair, are in the process of being replaced.
Two vacancies occurred at the Veterans' Project
(#200-1), Eddy Street, during the year, with im-
mediate occupancy. The annual inspection of this
Project was also held on May 10th. Five steel bulk-
heads were installed this year to replace the last of
the wooden ones. The exterior of the homes will be
painted in the Spring; specifications already having
been secured.

the Visiting Nurse and the two School Nurses, Mrs.
Ruth Forbes, R.N., and Mrs. Mary Koukol, R.N., at
all these clinics.
A total of 137 Influenza Vaccine innoculations
were given in October and December to all Town
and School employees who desired them.
A Glaucoma Clinic was held at the Orthodox Con-
20
gregational Church on May 2nd sponsored by the
Mansfield Lions Club and assisted by the Board of
Directors of the Visiting Nurse Association and local
nurses. This was staffed by Doctors from the Mass-
achusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary who examined 323
people.
In June a free Measle Clinic was held with vaccine
provided by the Massachusetts Department of Pub-
lic Health. Local doctors and nurses donated their
time and innoculated 366 children. Members of the
Visiting Nurse Board of Directors were in charge of
the records.
The Mansfield Visiting Nurse Association was
among the first in the state to be certified to give
care to Medicare patients as of July 1, 1966. We
now have Mrs. Patricia DeCoste, a Registered Phys-
ical Therapist, available for therapy or consultation
to the citizens of Mansfield. Public Health Nurses
from this area are meeting monthly with the Nurs-
ing Supervisor for In -Service Education to make
them aware of new methods of improved patient
care.
The Mansfield Visiting Nurse Association would
like to thank both the private citizens and the many
organizations for their donations this past year. All
equipment owned by the Association is available for
loan to any Mansfield resident without charge.
The Visiting Nurse performs all nursing treat-
ments in the home or at the Visiting Nurse Associa-
tion office on the order of a physician. Telephone
calls will be accepted at the office from 8:30 to 9
A.M. Monday through Saturday and 1 P.M. to 2
P.M. Monday through Friday.

Superintendent, Henry B. Pierce
1966 was a busy year for the Municipal Light De-
partment. During this past year, many streets were
brightened with the installation of new Mercury
Vapor Lights. This marks the completion of approx-
imately one-third of the "Street Lighting Modern-
ization Program".
Further progress on the 2400 Volt System conver-
sion was made with three more circuits cut over this
year.
Construction was started on a new and larger
13,000 Volt Circuit to the Blane Chemical Company
and the Merckens Chocolate Company. Completion
of this new circuit and the abandonment of the old
circuit is scheduled for 1967.
The new "Security Light Program" was initiated
this past year with over twenty-seven installations
completed to date. Under this program ;private

Public safety from fire depends largely on the
proper operation of the Fire Alarm System. Fre-
quent tests of all equipment and complete records of
its operation and use is essential, in addition to the
Fire Department Journal records of alarms received
and related activities. Records showing history,
locations, use and tests of each box and each circuit
are desirable.
Mansfield's Municipal Fire Alarm System is being
kept up to date through daily testing of main con-
trol board, routine box testing and by the adding
and replacement of old equipment with modern,
reliable equipment. By a well planned program each
year we can expand effectively and keep up to date
and provide the residents in this area excellent and
confident fire protection.

Superintendent's Report --- 1966
I herewith submit my seventh annual report as
Superintendent of Schools.
As of September 1966, we started with a number
of handicaps for the school year. The first serious
one was the reinstituting of double sessions at the
Park Row School for grades four and five. Double
sessions will be with us until a new school is built.
As things look at the present time, it would appear
that September 1969 would be the earliest possible
time to hope for a new school. Children on double
sessions lose at least twenty percent of instruction
time each school year. If a new 'school building is
not ready by 1969, some of our children now coming
up in the lower grades might be compelled to attend
five years of double sessions from grade four through
grade eight. This would mean the loss of instruc-
tion time equivalent to one full year of School. Our
children would come to the high school and be
graduated, without having had the advantage of the
full instruction time enjoyed by the children of other
high schools. The number one need of our school
system is a new school building by September 1969.
Our second serious handicap has been the prob-
lems developed by a continued changing of personnel
in the high school. Because of resignations, sickness
and accidents, we have had cases of as many as
three or four teachers throughout the year for single
teaching positions. Changing of office personnel has
also been a problem.
In spite of our many handicaps, I feel sure that
we have an outstanding program in grades four
through eight. In these grades, we have a develop-
ing program based on achievement grouping and
departmentalization by subject matter. In appoint-
ing new teachers to positions in this program, we
make every endeavor to appoint teachers who have
majors in the subject to be taught. This arrange-
ment meets the handicaps of double sessions to a
much greater degree than the old arrangement of
self-contained classes. In our primary grades, we
have a- much improved sequence of instruction in
reading, bolstered by supplementary phonics and
adequate materials, equipment and library books.
The following items are some of the more im-
portant improvements accomplished during the year
of 1966:
1. In curriculum:
General—the addition of approximately 4000
library books from the first grade through
high school.
High School
a. The continued growth of our library on
the way to 7500 volumes as of June 1967.
46
b. The establishment of an additional course
called biology I.I or advanced biology.
c. The addition of a third track in our
business department, making possible a
major in clerical practice.
d. The addition of a language laboratory
for use by all language classes.
Robinson School
a. Geography was established as an inde-
pendent
ndependent and completely departmental-
ized subject in the sixth grade, with a
teacher with a' major in the subject.
b. Language arts was established as an
independent and completely departmen-
talized subject in the seventh grade, with
a teacher with a major in the subject.
c. A noticeable improvement in the interest
and participation' in choral music devel-
oped 'during the year.
d. The scheduling of a teacher for special
help for slow readers in grades six and
seven.
Park Row School
a. The establishment of a self-contained
remedial class for slow learners in grade
four.
b. The scheduling of a teacher for special
help for slow readers in grade five.
2. In buildings:
High School
a. Started a program of waterproofing the
exterior walls.
b. Installed a fan in the drying room of
the boys' athletic quarters.
c. Removed all islands in the parking area
at the rear of the school.
d. Installed new drains in the art room.
e. Repaired the stairwells of the senior
wing.
Robinson School
a. Improved the lawn areas.
b. Painted outdoor play equipment.
c. Installed night lighting to illuminate the
areas around the building.
Park Row School
a'. _ Installed new exterior doors on the east
side of the building.
b. Replaced some window sash.
c. Painted some exterior trim.
d. Refinished exterior steps on east side of
the building.
e. Installed Bradley handwashing sinks in
the boys' and girls' toilet rooms.
f. Installed 200 coat hooks in the corridors.
(Needed for fourth graders because of
double session.)
g. Installed carpeting in the teachers'
room.
Roland Green School
a. ; Repaired the flat roof.
b. Completed painting in. classrooms and
corridors.
c. Installed Bradley handwashing sinks in
the boys' and girls' toilet rooms.
Spaulding School
a. Installed a gas-fired interior incinerator.
b. Erected an outdoor slide for i;he child-
ren (paid for by the P.T.A. and the
School Department) .
Paine School
a. Installed a hot water heater for the first
time.
b. Replaced the rear door.
c. Built a set of new steps at the rear
entrance.
d. Painted the boys' and girls' toilet rooms.
John Berry School
a: Repaired the slate roof.
The Elementary Classroom Situation:
Once again, I call attention to our growing pres-
sure for the need for additional classrooms. T'.e
situation has grown, is growing, and will continue to
grow worse from year to year. Revising the figures
of last year's report, and having the advantage of an
additional year's statistics, the need for elementary
classrooms by years and grades from 1966 through
1972 appears to be as follows:
Classroom
Grades 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Spec. Tot. Defi-
ciency
1966 10 8 8 7 6 6 5 5 2 57 5
1967 10 10 7 8 7 6 6 5 2 61 9
1968 10 10 10 7 8 7 6 6 3 67 19*
1969 10 10 10 9 7 8 7 6 3 70 22
1970 10 10 10 9 9 7 8 7 3 73 25
1971 10 1010 9 9 9 7 8 3 7'5 27
1972 10 10 10 9 9 9 9 7 3 76 28
* Grade 8 out of High School
47
This extension of the number of classrooms needed
is made without figuring on any gains or losses in
our now existing school population. At that, it
means, as of September 1969, we shall have 70
elementary classes to fit into 48 rooms.
It first appeared that it might be necessary to
double session grades five, six, seven and eight at
the Robinson School as of September 1967. Upon
further study and calculation, it is hoped that if we
are able to make out the high school schedule for
the school ,year of 1967-1968, with the eighth grade
in the building, we shall be able to schedule all
elementary classes with only the fourth and fifth
grades on double session. If this cannot be done, it
means that we shall have to move the eighth grade
to the Robinson School and have double sessions for
grades five, six, seven and eight in that building.
If we avoid moving the eighth grade out of the high
school for 1967-1968, it appears that we cannot avoid
doing so for 1968-1969 when the enrollment of both
the eighth grade and the high school will approach
800. As of September 1968, this would mean double
sessions at the Robinson School for grades five, six,
seven and eight.
The administration of schools is becoming a more
difficult and complex process. Many of the decisions
of the School Committee and the Superintendent are
seriously questioned when the wishes of individuals
are not completely met. Many of these questions
weave around the problems of bus transportation,
school attendance, suspensions and salaries, and take
more and more time of the School Committee and
the Superintendent of Schools. A considerable and
greatly extended period of time this year was given
to negotiations on salaries with the teachers and
other school personnel. This is going to be an -
established practice for the future.
,An understanding and appreciation by the public
of the problems and work of a School Committee
and a Superintendent do much to make for good
morale within a school system.
I thank all those who have helped, counseled and
encouraged me in my endeavors throughout the year.

Mansfield Elementary School Building Committee
EVERETT W. ROBINSON SCHOOL
The Elementary School Building 'Committee is
pleased to submit this final written report to the
citizens of Mansfield. This committee was estab-
lished under Article 14 of the Annual Town Meeting
of March 5, 1962, and was directed to plan and build
a 20 -classroom elementary school. Construction
started in the spring of 1964, and the school was
substantially complete in time for the entrance of
pupils in September 1965. Although with the com-
pletion of the school the actual work of the com-
mittee is finished, there are a few items remaining
which will require our existence as a committee.
We have one suit pending by a sub -contractor for
work done on finished grading and seeding. The
Town has withheld $'2,000.00 from the general con-
tractor, Edward 'Goverman, until 'there is satisfac-
tory completion of the work in accordance with the
specifications. There are two additional claims for
money due from the general contractor totaling
$1,795.40. You will note from the financial state-
ment that we also have outstanding expenditures
amounting to $5,450.00. As soon as we have settled
these items, we will ask to be dismissed at the next
following Annual, Town Meeting.

has been a most rewarding one for
who have long been planning a
cal facility for the regional district
ield is a member. It should be
the communities which have joined
the Southeastern Regional School
Ltional'°technical education are the
n,_ ' and the Towns of Stoughton,
)ugh, Mansfield, Norton, Easton,
r and West Bridgewater.
The committee members who were serving the
arious communities during the early part of the
ear 1966 were as follows: James J. Adams and
',eorge A. Allen, Brockton; Dr. David D. Clancy,
toughton; Thomas P. Watkins, Sharon; Frederick
Cheyne, Foxborough; Louis E. Tarsa, Jr., Mans-
eld; Mrs. Ruth B. Brown, Norton; John R. Boyle,
,aston; Robert B. Ewing, East Bridgewater; John
[. Hamilton, West Bridgewater. For all of these
eople and the many others who had worked before
hem, the dream of a vocational technical facility
las becoming a reality.
The construction project had started in mid -1965
nd by January, 1966, work had slowed down be-
ause of the winter weather. Despite the fact that
�o upper structure had been completed, the boiler
oom area had been closed in and work continued
hrough the winter installing piping for the heating
ystem.
Following the town elections in March, some new
aembers joined the committee. They were: Robert
►. Girardin, Foxborough; Charles D. Anderson,
Caston; and Robert B. Snow, Stoughton. With the
oming of 'spring, construction work increased at a
treat rate. The walls of the building began to
fevelop and the entire unit started to take shape.
While the construction work was progressing, com-
nittee work continued. Many policies were estab-
ished for personnel who were currently employed
ind' for those who would be employed in the future.
York' was undertaken on inviting bids for various
term of equipment. The Superintendent Director,
)onald E. Graves, was deeply involved in all aspects
t ` construction, planning for equipment purchases,
lrawing up specifications for various pieces of equip-
nent and planning for staff development. A clerk-
ypist course under a federal program entitled, "The
JIanpower and Development Training Act" was
tarted at the Oliver Ames High ,School in Easton.
"his program although offered at the Easton High
>chool was under the supervision of the Southeast-
rn Regional School District. A .great deal of, case
work and cabinetry was made at Brockton Trade
'Iigh School by the students of the cabinetmaking
lepartment to be installed in the new school.
57
.During the first formal meeting of the new school
committee, James J. Adams of Brockton was elected
Chairman, John H. Hamilton of West Bridgewater,
Vice -Chairman, and Mrs. Ruth B. Brown of Norton
was elected Secretary. The total membership of the
committee was divided into sub -committees in order
to better approach the problems of sub -committee
work. During the year regular meetings were held
at the construction site in order to observe the pro-
gress of the building.
The Brockton Trade High School graduating
class, in order to express their appreciation to the
people who are making such a wonderful vocational
technical facility possible, presented a gift of a tree
to be planted on the property of the new school with
a suitable brass plaque to be placed at the base of
the tree. The plaque was inscribed "Gift of the
Brockton .Trade High Class of 1966".
During the year some of the committee members
made it a point to visit other vocational technical
schools in the state. The desirability of forming
regional vocational technical school districts was
evident in the fact that several other areas of the
state developed programs of planning for the estab-
lishment of such regional districts.
During the summer, construction work leaped
ahead. The building was closed in, glass was in-
stalled in the windows, athletic fields were graded
and the football field was seeded.
During the year the legislature saw fit to enact a
sales tax which removed the 50% for operating costs
of categorical aid which had been available to voca-
tional education schools for many years. The act
also removed the 15% additional aid which had been
available for regional school districts.
This fall the committee considered the question of
purchasing buses for the district and it was decided
that the regional district would purchase and oper-
ate its own buses. Mr. Robert C. Jones of Brockton
was elected to represent Brockton, since Committee-
man George A. Allen had changed his residence and
no longer lived in Brockton. Much work continued
inside the building since the building was now closed
in and the heating system was in operation.
As the end of the fiscal year came to pass, it
brought the realization that the day was drawing
near when opportunities for vocational technical
training would be available to many young people
who heretofore had not enjoyed such an educational
opportunity.
Respectfully submitted,
Louis E. Tarsa, Jr.

Stearns Avenue Property Study Committee
Accord with Voter Action taken under Article
r Members of the 1964 Annual Town Meeting
1;16, 1964, it was voted.
Committee named for the purpose of study a
)r waysof utilizing most effectively the 40 Acre
ofland located on Stearns Avenue, recently
Lased by the Voters of the Town Meeting, under
25, March 9, 1964" This preliminary report is
Tith respectfully submitted:
.s the Committee's hope, this Report will arouse
terest in the immediate problem involved; that
,will result in an awareness on the part of the
c that will be translated into judicious action by
everal municipal' boards, committees, commis -
whose cooperation and concern is required, if
Lsonable solution to a seemirig problem is to be
i,'; and that far reaching benefits accrue to the
;est number in the town, ncrW and in the future,
,or decades to come.
is your Committee's judgment, that the acquisi-
by the Town` of Mansfield of the 2 Parcels of
listed on Assessors Maps as Parcel No. 38 on
40, containing 53 Acres more or less, for
5.00 was a real stroke of fortune; that every
►nable consideration should be given to the pro-
ztilization and development of the great poten-
the highly valuable tract offers the citizens of
;own, now and for the future.
r'I Orientation Purposes; the parcel in question,
,.ated in the 'northeasterly section of Mansfield
Stearns' Hill on the northerly side of Stearns
iue, in the area that is, according to U. S. Geo -
al maps, (Mansfield Quadrangle) the Highest
Ltion in Mansfield. The area which is heavily
led, has a frontage of approximately 1706 ft. on
westerly side of Stearns Ave., a public way, with
ginning near the foot of Stearns Hill, abutting
formerly of Wheeler, running northeasterly up
over Stearns Hill and Reed's Hill down to Reed's
Ler to a scant 200 ft. from the Easton town line
he_junction of Chestnut and Mill and Stearns
its maximum depth, the area has a mean depth
bout 1700 feet back from Stearns Ave. It is in
area the former owner established a dumping
for chemical wastes. It is noted this is the area
the maximum elevation, ('210) (feet). This
t"is less than 200 ft., from the Easton -Mansfield
idary, 1770' south of the nearest habitable dwell -
on Maple St., approximately 5600 feet from the
,on town line.
ie next deepest section of the irregularly shaped
s'line is 1200' north northwest from Stearns Ave.,
2200' from the nearest point on Maple St., to
north. The heaviest inhabited area under de -
A Preliminary Report
velopment or to be developed, is owned by Beverley
Builders Corp., which is 2900 feet to the southwest
from the dumping site.
Access to the town -owned tract, as described, is
by several woodland cart paths running off Stearns
Ave. and by one gravel roadway built by the former
owner, that runs off Stearns Ave., northerly by
northwest to the old dumping site. This area was
initially proposed as the reason for acquiring the
land for town use as a substitute site for a town
dump when the present East Street town dump has
to be abandoned for lack of space. This has been
estimated to within a year more or less.
The initial proposal in 1964 to transfer the town's
dumping and burning area to the top of Stearns
Hill, prompted formation of this Study Committee.
It was then felt and it is maintained to this day, that
to make such a move, the town would in no way
alleviate the prevailing conditions at the town dump
on East St., but would only in time create added
problems and resulting controversy, damaging to the
area, the town and its inhabitants, that could cause
the citizens and their officials great hardship in fu-
ture years, as normal growth and expansion in the
area develops.
It is the consensus of the Committee and of those
concerned with the problem of waste disposal, that
establishing an open dump and burning area atop
Stearns Hill, in no way offers the proper solution, to
what is fast becoming a serious municipal problem;
namely, the disposal of trash and refuse.
The disappearance of unspoiled acreage, both
wooded and undeveloped and green wetlands and
open areas has aroused conservationists and other
public officials and sportsmen who are voicing their
concern and protest against unrestrained misuse,
destruction and poor application of a most valuable
asset, namely land, by such poor uses as dumping
and burning sites. The resultant destruction of
prime land, problems of pollution fall -out, menace
to health of the citizenry, devaluation of land and
other aggravations and reduce growth and tax val-
ues are serious deterents that must be considered.
Any short-sighted hope of finding a quick solution
to Mansfield's refuse disposal problem, should not be
dictated by haste the Committee believes. The use
of the Stearns Hill area for a dumping and open
burning site would neither be prudent or judicious,
this Committee feels, but only makeshift, temporary
and eventually costly with the eventual population
increase and resultant rise in the town's production
of refuse and effluent.
Mansfield cannot afford to repeat what it was al-
lowed to do in the latter part of the 1930's, when
the sewerage system was planned and terminated in
69
the southerly part of the town where the Rumford
River flows into Norton Reservoir at the Norton -
Mansfield town line. The resultant accumulation of
problems and aggravations that exist and have exist-
ed between our neighboring town to the south should
not be compounded by the location of an open dump
and burning area on the Easton -Mansfield town line,
your Committee believes.
At present the Legislature is considering bills
sponsored by the State Department of Public Works
to set up a new State "Solid Waste Disposal Divi-
sion", as an adjunct to the D.P.W. Under the legis-
lation, which has good chance of passage, the state
would build and operate disposal plants throughout
the Commonwealth. Plants would be built where
two or more towns joined in requesting a regional
disposal plant be built for their use. The bill's auth-
or, Rep. Francis W. Hatch (R. Beverley) testified,
"present facilities in the state for waste disposal are
grossly inadequate, unsightly and in many cases op-
erated improperly". The bill, on passage, offers
municipal officials one solution to the growing dilem-
ma of disposal problems, making it easier for com-
munities to secure standardized planning for regional
waste disposal facilities. Rep. Hatch's measure per-
mits location of disposal facilities—either incinera-
tors or sanitary land -fill operation—both costly—in
one of the communities requesting service, after the
Department of Public Health and Department of
Natural Resources have approved the site and oper-
ation. The participating communities are to bear
the costs, under the enabling act.
In nearby Stoughton, a Composting Committee,
headed by Selectman Charles F. Yaitanes, Chrmn.,
after 2 years of study, has recommended to the
Town Meeting, the acceptance of legislation that will
permit the town to enter into a 20 -year contract
with the operator of a so-called composting plant.
Stoughton's Town Meeting, with the Finance C'om-
mittee's approval, has been asked to approve pur-
chase of a large tract called Bear Swamp near Route
24, and to advertise for bids for the operation by
private contractor of the composting plant. If ac-
cepted, the Articles provide, after 20 years, the plant
will revert to the town, or a new contract will be
negotiated, whichever is of greater benefit to the
Town (See Appendage).
Composting, a relatively new method in this re-
gion, is, your Committee believes, worthy of in-depth
study, a sensible answer to a pressing problem, plus
permitting the withdrawal by municipalities from
the expensive and inefficient operation of refuse and
disposal departments. It permits the entrance of
private industry into an operation that in part re-
claims as salable product, namely compost, used in
the reclaimation and revitalization of poor or deplet-
ed soil.
Mansfield spent in 1963 $20,549.92 on rubbish and
garbage collection, in 1964 the cost rose to $31,158.32.
70
In 1965 the Town Report lists the cost at $32,116.79
close to $84,000.00 for a 3 -year period. It is obvious
these costs will increase in time. They do not re-
flect the value of any lands used for dumping, depre.
ciation of land, pollution damage, fire department
costs for dump fire control, construction of roadways
to dumping areas, (widening or reconstruction of
Stearns Ave., water main costs to Stearns Hill)
Your Committee, respectfully recommends serious
consideration of Stearns Hill as a site for an elevated
standpipe for water storage in line with needed ex-
pansion of Mansfield's water needs.
Your Committee will endeavor to secure in-depth'
research material and continue to assemble data and
costs of proposals and alternates for elimination of
rubbish and refuse as outlined above in Stoughton.'
The Committee will continue its search for guidance
and information as source material for a comprehen-
sive and complete report to be filed at a future date.
This, it is hoped, can be done in conjunction with,
and will be made available to, such local groups as
the Conservation Commission, Recreation Commit-
tee, Planning Board and Selectmen, for future form-
ulation of possible articles for Town Meeting con-
sideration. At this time your Committee respectfully
suggests townspeople give consideration to the fol-
lowing proposals
1. That due consideration by local groups and
individuals be given to the proposition that the
Stearns Hill tract be fully and completely utilized.
That the Conservation Commission, Planning Board,
Recreation Committee, Finance Committee, Fish and
Game Association, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, clul 3
and groups interested in roadside beautification and
rural beautification _or preservation, winter sports
enthusiasts, outdoor fans, naturalists, bird watchers
and Audubon naturalists, campers and hikers, ac-
quaint themselves with the possibilities of developing
the Stearns Hill acreage; as a possible town forest
site; year-round recreational area; a winter sports
ski area and slope clearance project with municipal
sponsorship or by the State Dept. of Natural Re-
sources or by private lease.
2. Location of a Community House, camp sites,
Scout House, with trail clearing by 'Scouts and out-
door folk.
Preliminary investigation by your Committee indi-
cates a widespread demand for outdoor recreational
site developments. Such sites abound in this area.
It is felt that the Stearns Hill acreage offers the
town one of the choice sites in Bristol County. It
compares favorably with Diamond Hill and Ski Val-
ley .in the Cumberland, R. I. area, the municipal ski
and recreational area in Wrentham, the large tract
deeded to the town of Norfolk by the Bristol family
in Foxboro, where some of the most fascinating bird
walks have been established; the North Attleboro
Memorial Park with picnic areas and an unobstruct-
w from atop Watery Hill; the unparalleled
.rity of winter sports with the development of
ue Hills slope; these and other nearby recrea-
areas are visual proof that Mansfield citizens
s the nucleus of what can be developed into a
asset. To let it be misused or downgraded
be grossly irresponsible, lacking in foresight
aprovident. It would not be in keeping with
ankee or American heritage!
Respectfully submitted,

FACT SIRE)ET ABOUT C'OMP'OSTING
t #1—The most critical problem facing our
today is the disposal of refuse and offal. Pres -
imp space is running out—no other area read-
ailable.
t #2—The State Department of Public Health
idemning open dumpsand burning in dumps.
t #3—Sanitary land fill is expensive, requires
acres for proper operation and has many limi-
S.
st #4—Incineration is `expensive and requires
L1 outlay.
:t #5—The Composting Committee after near -
o years` of study recommends the composting
ss as the best solution for the Town.
,t #6 -ADVANTAGES:
No capital outlay by the Town.
The final cost to the Town is determined 'by
the fixed cost per ton of refuse delivered to
the plant.
Weekly collection of mixed rubbish and gar-
bage.
The present cost for pickup and operating
the Town' Dump amounts to $48,000.00 per
year.
Operated' by efficient private business after
competitive` bidding.
Eliminates the Sunday traffic to the dump.
Composting is the most modern, scientific
method of rubbish and garbage disposal—no
smoke—no rodents—no fires—no vermin—
no odor.
Operation is in an enclosed plant—produces
a useful` organic fill as the end product.
et #7—The Finance Committee has favorably
ended Article 32 and 33.
ct # 8 ---The plant reverts to the Town after 20
> or a'' more favorable new contract may be
71
negotiated.
We urge you to vote favorably on Article 32 and
33.

limited to sales of food products for human use,
articles of clothing, prescription medicines, agricul=
tural machinery and certain publications. The stat-
ute contains specific provisions relating to the regis-
tration of vendors, the filing of returns and the pay-
ment of the amounts collected by such vendors.
Vendors may apply to the State Tax Commission for
abatements of the amounts owed where they believe
such amounts to be excessive, and decisions of the
Commission on such applications may be reviewed
by the Appellate Tax Board. The Commissioner of
Corporations and Taxation shall have the usual
powers and remedies provided for tax collection fori
the collection of the taxes imposed by this section.
The State Tax Commission shall issue regulations
necessary for proper administration and enforce-
ment of the section.
The Act further imposes a temporary excise upon
the storage, use or other consumption in Massachu-
setts of tangible personal property at the rate of
three per cent of the sales price of such property.
Sales upon which the retail sales tax described
above has been imposed, or which are exempt from
the retail sales tax, shall be exempt from the use
tax. Sales upon which a tax has been paid in an-
other jurisdiction shall also be exempt. Assessment,
abatement and collection of the use tax shall be
governed .by the provisions which relate to the tax
upon retail sales. The tax upon retail sales and the
excise upon storage, use or other consumption shall
be effective during the period from April 1, 1966 to
December 31, 1967.
Each qualified taxpayer shall be entitled to a cred-
it of four dollars for himself, four dollars for his
spouse and eight dollars for each qualified depend-
ent, but such credit shall not be allowed if the tax-
able income of such individual and his spouse exceeds
five thousand dollars for the year. In addition to
the taxes described above, the Act provides for new
excises upon certain banks; new taxes upon the in-
come of certain corporations; new taxes upon cigar-
ettes; a room occupancy excise upon rent paid for
the use of hotel rooms and other lodging places; and
excises upon sales of certain alcoholic beverages.
The Act creates the Local Aid Fund for the pur-
pose of providing educational assistance, and author-
izes the periodic distribution of amounts from such
Fund to the cities and towns. In addition, the Act
contains a variety of provisions relating to the pro-
gram of State aid to public schools, and to its ad -
,ration.
