March 10, 1932
Town of Norwood, Massachusetts
As Chairman of the Committee appointed to construct an addition to the Senior High School building, I beg to submit the following report:
At a Special Town Meeting held April 1, 1931, the sum of $55,000 was appropriated to construct an addition to the Senior High School building and a Committee of five to be appointed by the Moderator was authorized to expend said sum for said purpose. On April 2, 1931, the following Committee was appointed by the Town Moderator: Gladwin M. Nead, Chairman, Edward H. Allen, John J. Conley, Thomas H. Hayden, John Victor Carlson. The Committee organized promptly as it was apparent that if the addition to the High School was to be ready for occupancy at the opening of school in September, there was no time to be lost. William G. Upham was employed as architect and plans previously prepared and approved by the School Committee were adopted. In response to appro- priate advertisements, 21 bids were submitted to the Committee on May 8, 1931, and after consideration the contract was awarded to John Bowen Company of Boston in the amount of $43,669. Work was commenced at once and was pushed as rapidly as possible consistent with satisfactory results, and the addition was ready for occupance September 15.
The Committee is glad to go on record to the effect that the John Bowen Company has fulfilled its contract in an entirely satisfactory manner and has at all times displayed a spirit of willingness to cooperate to the best of its ability, and it is the belief of the Committee that the addition compares favorably with the original building.
- At the Special Town Meeting at which the appropriation was made, I appeared as Chairman of the School Committee and stated the opinion of that Committee after thorough investigation that the addition could be erected and equipped for the sum of $55,000. The financial statement of the Committee is as follows:
