Report of Cochituate School Building Committee
The committee after careful inquiry engaged as architects Adden & Parker of Boston. The main contract was awarded to the lowest bidders, Hapgood, Frost & Co. of Wellesley. The fol- lowing are the contracts and estimates to date :
Hapgood, Frost & Co. (building)
$24,994.00
Walworth, English Flet Co. (heating)
2,292.00
Sewerage plant
909.55
Architects
1,450.00
Coal
250.00
$29,895.55
The estimates as first submitted were considerably in excess of these figures, and it was necessary to cut out every item of expense that was not absolutely essential to the safety and use- fulness of the building. We believe we have secured a building that will be a credit to the town at a minimum of cost.
The premium received on the bonds sold was $719.42. The committee expected to have the use of this sum and to expend it on grading and minor miscellaneous items, but a statute passed by the last legislature provides that after deducting the cost of preparing bonds of this description the balance of the premium shall be applied toward the extinguishment of the bonds. The cost of preparing the bonds was ninety dollars. Deducting this amount from the premium leaves a balance of $629.42.
An additional sum will also be required for furniture. This we estimate will cost one thousand dollars, ($1000.00).
We therefore ask for a further appropriation of a sum equal to the balance of the premium on the bonds, which is $629.42, and $1000.00 additional for furniture.

Cochituate School Building Committee
An honest effort has been made to keep expenses down and not to over-run the appropriation. We regret exceedingly the necessity of asking for more money, but it seems unavoidable.
One of our citizens presented the town with a strip of land containing 55 feet frontage and about 186 feet in depth taken from the land of Mrs. Mary Fairbanks to the south of the present schoolhouse lot. This made it possible to so place the new build- ing that there should be ample space on both the north and south sides, thus greatly improving the general appearance and beauty of the new structure. This same gentleman has also made other gifts which have added greatly to the real worth of the building and which the committee could not provide in their original plans and still keep within their appropriation.
We hope to have the new building finished and ready for occupancy by the middle of April.
The committee have been without the services of two of its members.
