*Resigned Dec. 12, 1938.
Art. 4. Report of Special Committee on School Housing. This committee has now completed study of conditions at the Center and North Schools. We feel that better and more sanitary accommodations should be provided at both schools. Several possible methods of attaining the de- sired ends have been considered.
~20-
As a result of our inspection of the buildings, consulta- tion with architects, and study of plans, we recommend as follows ;
1. If the town feels that it is practical and desirable to remodel both schools, that the work be done as a W. P. A. project under plans presented by Harry L. Meacham associates of Worcester, to wit: remodel the Center School building and increase the floor space of said building, so as to provide a five class room building with a Teacher's room, Recreation room and Flush toi- lets, and to make such incidental changes as may be necessary : all at an approximate cost to the town of $6,775.00. Further, to remodel the North School build- ing, so as to provide a two class room building with Flush Toilets and Steam Heating, and to make such incidental changes as may be necessary all at an ap- proximate cost to the town of $3,675.00.
2. If the town feels that it is more practical to and desir- able to continue a policy of modern school buildings which was inaugurated with the construction of the Benjamin Ellis School at South Carver, we recommend that the above mentioned remodeling at the Center School be undertaken at once under a W. P. A. Project, and that a new building be erected at North Carver as soon as practicable.
We believe that the latter course is the one that should be adopted by the town.
Respectfully,
Earl B. Ware, Chairman Russell E. Shaw, Secretary :: Rev. William I. Ward Eldred S. Mosher Kenneth E. Shaw
June 13, 1938.
Voted to lay this article on the table.
