SPECIAL MEETING
Arlington, January 14, 1931.
Pursuant to the Warrant of the Selectmen served according to law upon the inhabitants of the Town of Arlington, by a Constable of the said Town, notices having been sent by mail by the Town Clerk seven days before the day of meeting to the Town Meeting Members elected and qualified to act in Town Meetings in Arlington and posted at two places in each precinct. The Town Meeting Mem- bers met in the Robbins Memorial Town Hall in said Town on Wednesday evening, January 14, 1931, at eight o'clock. The Warrant calling the meeting was the notice sent by the Town Clerk.
Lists of the duly qualified Town Meeting Members were used at the entrances of the meeting place and were in charge of Albert K. Peirce and James E. Sweeney. The lists contained the names of two hundred and sixty-eight members.
15
TOWN RECORDS
The Check Lists filed with the Town Clerk at the close of the meeting showed that one hundred and fifty- three members attended the meeting.
The meeting was called to order at ten minutes after eight o'clock in the evening by the Moderator, Curtis H. Waterman.
Upon inquiry by the Moderator it appeared that there were no Town Meeting Members present who had not already been sworn.
Copies of the Warrant having been supplied to the Town Meeting Members, the Town Clerk read only the Call and the Constable's Return of the Warrant, the meet- ing voting on Arthur P. Wyman's motion to dispense with . the reading of the remainder of the Warrant.
On motion of Arthur P. Wyman:
Voted: That if all the business of the meeting as set forth in the Warrant is not disposed of on this date, the meeting adjourn to Thursday, January 22, 1931, at eight o'clock.
On motion of Arthur P. Wyman :
Voted: That Article 1 be now taken up.
Jacob Bitzer, Chairman of the Committee appointed to secure plans and estimates for an elementary school building on Eastern Avenue, addressed the meeting, re- questing Harold M. Estabrook, Secretary of the Com- mittee to read the Committee's report.
The Committee appointed by the Moderator with the authority of the adjourned Town Meeting of April 7, 1930, to bring in plans and estimates for a fourteen-room
16
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
elementary school building to be erected on Eastern Avenue, organized at a meeting held on October 14, 1930, and chose Jacob Bitzer chairman and Harold Estabrook secretary.
PRELIMINARY WORK OF THE COMMITTEE PREVIOUS TO THE SELECTION OF AN ENGINEER-ARCHITECT
It was the opinion of the Committee that more satis- factory results could be obtained by the selection of an architect outside of competition. With this in mind, the Committee visited a number of schools. Some of these were recommended by the State Board of Education as examples of approved schoolhouse design, and others were schools which had been designed by architects who had made application for consideration. This method of selection undoubtedly forced a greater amount of labor upon the Committee, as about fifteen schoolhouses were carefully inspected, some at a considerable distance. By this means, however, exact knowledge of the work of architects under consideration was obtained, details of construction were observed, and the Town was saved the expense of purchasing the plans of four or five competing architects had a competition been held.
It seemed natural to choose a resident of Arlington to design the new school. After careful consideration of the applicants, the firm of Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, with Ralph T. Jackson, Associate Architect, was the unanimous choice of the Committee. Their experience as architect and engineers qualified them in the opinion of the Committee, and a number of Arlington residents are employed by the concern.
After the selection of an architect, a meeting was held with representatives of the Committee on Additional School Accommodations and the School Committee, in order that the completed designs might incorporate features desired by those directly concerned.
17
TOWN RECORDS
Following the preparation of several preliminary plans, this Committee held a joint meeting with the entire School Committee for their approval of the proposed plans. The plans for the building will be described under Article 13 of the Warrant and are those which our Com- mittee considers most practical and economical for con- struction at the Eastern Avenue location.
We therefore submit the following estimate based on the plans and specifications filed with and at the request of the Finance Committee January 2, 1931, which specify a fourteen-room, furnished building of fire resistive con- struction. These figures are compiled from estimates fur- nished by seven reputable contractors who estimated from sketch plans:
Building
Grading and removing trees
Architect's fee, bond, and insurance $225,700.00
Equipment
Water and sewer connections
Electrical connections
The Committee recommends that the above amount be appropriated for the completion of the Eastern Avenue School.
Respectfully submitted,
