By-law provisions wer explained by former Town Cou sel Alexander A. Cwalinski, was chairman of the by-law con mi lice.

Last night's recommendalion pertained to by-law proposals bidding, stenographer for tow meetings, town departmental ports, Finance Committee men bership, and the form of Financ Committee recommendations warrant articles.

71 Pork Adams Tel. 123 bmmittee Takes at New By-Laws for bid. However, the Commit! recommended against a by-la proposal that would award contract to ally responsible der, within 10 per cent, a $2 maximum, of Ihe lowest bid su 2 Mr. Cwalinski explained tl the provision had been pul after much debate to allow officials to award a contract a local bidder, if the local co tractor's bid was only slight higher than the lowest of town bid. As recommended by tlie nance Committee, the by-la would retain the $500 limit the contract would go lo the lo est responsible bidder.

Som members of the commiltee pressed the thought that if the 1 per cent clause were relaine local bidders could overbid tho from out of town and still get I contract. The committee recommend striking out one section lha would require a stenographer each lown meeling lo record proceedings and file a Iranscri with the town clerk. Three reasons were responsib for the provision, Mr. Cwalins explained. The first was, in ca the legality of a lown meelii were challenged, a transcript the meeling would be availab' Ihe second, that it would pi vide a ready reference, and I third, that it would serve build up a historical reference.

Al present, he explained, tions of the meetings are rccorc ed by the town clerk but not tl discussion leading up to the Finance Commiltee membe recommended against the pr 3osal on groutids that it was a mnecessary expense. Figures excess of $50 were mentioned a cost for each meeting. The committee also voted recommend against a proposa hat would require town depar merits to siibtnit their budgets i triplicate. Stricken was the trip cate provision and inserted was provision requiring budgets to submitted in quantities requeste by the Selectmen and on forn provided by the Selectmen. The recommendation for the i sertion dune after it was notec hat a terrific load was placec on the town accountant last yea when he had to prepare 20 copi each departmental budget Finance Commillee study.

The commiltee considered a other provision stipulating law proposed that no person ma serve on the Finance Commitl who holds an elective position any position in the town for whic lie or she receives compensalio The recommendation was to lele the clause slipulating com sensation and not allow mem jership to those holding an ele or any other town positio Arguments voiced 'in favor the recommendation noted th hospital trustees, library trustee and school committee membe did not receive compensalio from the town, yet, should pro ably not act in regards to the own budget as members of the nance Committee. Another provision on which change was recommended rela ed to Finance Committee repor of ils recommendalions. The by SPRING CONCERT By Adams Schools Musical Organiiafions May 28 7:45 P. M.

Members felt that no reference should be made in commiltee reconimcndalions as to whether or not the vote was unanimous. Another recommendation made would allow the Selectmen or the Town Counsel to appear before a legislative committee, courl or commission lo protect the town's interest. The recommendation was to strike out a clause that would not allow the Selectmen or Town Counsel to take such action. Town Counsel Leonard A. Turgeon commented that this would lake a lol of power away frcni the Town Counsel and Ihe Selectmen and would hamper efforts in sellling suits against the town.

At Ihe evening's conclusion committee members had gotten through 21 of the 35 articles. Up for consideration at next week's meeting, as well as the arllcles seeking other lown meeting action, are by-law provisions spelling out minimum street acceptance requirements, use of streets and plumbing regulations. 0.
