56 <br /> station does not permit the privacy that should prevail since <br /> each person booked is not necessarily guilty. Conversations <br /> with both police and fire officials lead us to the firm con- <br /> viction that separate buildings are necessary. Friction be- <br /> tween departments is eliminated, criticisms of each others <br /> work and duties are also eliminated and harmony will more <br /> likely prevail. Except for persons not officially connected <br /> i with either police or fire departments, no one voiced any <br />` opinion except that quarters should be separate and distinct, <br /> It is the recommendation of this committee that a campus <br /> type arrangement be established with a Town Hall situated <br /> between a Police and Fire Station. <br /> J <br /> This committee will be glad to furnish details as to its <br /> specific recommendations and the reasons for the need of <br /> the three buildings mentioned. <br /> Because of the possibility of a regionalization ;of the <br /> school system and because of the assurance of both the <br /> ! Superintendent of Schools and the Principal of the Davis <br /> School that the present school facilities are sufficient for <br /> some time in the future, we are refraining from further com- <br /> ment on the school needs. <br /> The Public Library has sufficient structure for the im- <br /> mediate future and they lack only books and internal equip- <br /> ment, which is outside the scope of this committee. <br /> Because of the high percentage of students in our school <br /> system who come from mobile homes and trailer parks, from <br /> which the Town obtains insufficient revenue, we suggest the <br /> Board of Selectmen refer to Articles 29 and 30 of the 1959 <br /> Annual Report wherein is stated the maximum number of <br /> these homes permitted in Mashpee and the penalty for vio- <br /> lations. At present 38% of the children in the elementary <br /> school come from such mobile homes and trailer parks. Since <br /> the Federal Government is paying the Town only 5097o of the <br /> cost of educating service-connected children, it behooves us <br /> y� to carefully examine the Town ordinances on Trailer Parks. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Town of Mashpee Building Needs Committee <br /> JOHN D.
