Article 16. Under this article, Mr. E. L. Wires read the following report.
MILFORD, March 5, 1894.
Report of Committee appointed by the Town, November, 1892, to confer with the School Committee in relation to better school accommodations.
After sufficient investigation in conjunction with the School Committee, the two committees (town and school) having united under one organization for the purpose of fully determining the real needs of the school department (for the present as well as for the immediate future), held final meeting on February 14, and passed the following :
"Voted : That the Committee recommend the erection of a new High School building to be built of Milford granite, and that the present building be moved to some suitable location in the old town house district, and refitted for occupancy by schools of the lower grades."
Now your committee is united in the belief that the recom- mendations as expressed in the vote of the joint committee as above quoted, embody the essential features of what is most needful for the present and future, and that it is the wisest econ- omy for the town to look well to its public school accommoda- tions, thereby keeping in advance of the smaller and less preten- tious towns of the State, more especially those in the immediate vicinity.
Therefore the several members composing this committee most heartily recommend the erection of a High School building on the old site, to be of Milford granite with brownstone trim- mings, the cost of which shall not exceed forty thousand dollars ($40,000), the present building to be moved to a suitable location in the old Town House district, preferably to the lower corner lot in the Town Park, facing on Spruce street, or, if thought more desirable, to the rear of Memorial Hall building, and remodeled for schools of the lower grades.
Respectfully submitted,
E. L. WIRES, Chairman."

Due notice having been given, the polls were at 5 P. M. de- clared to be closed.

The box was opened seven (7) times during the time of voting, by the unanimous consent of the Moderator, Town Clerk and Tellers, for the purpose of sorting and counting the ballots, and again at the close of the polls, when the register stood at twenty-nine hundred and seventy-one (2971).

Article 12. Under this article, Mr. E. L. Wires made the following report for the committee.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE.
"At the annual town meeting held in March of the present year, the following vote was passed :
Voted : That a building committee of nine (9) be appointed by the Moderator, they to report at the April meeting.
The undersigned, appointed pursuant to the foregoing vote, promptly organized by the choice of E. L. Wires as chairman and J. F. Stratton as secretary, and submit the following as their re- port :
The committee understood, by the adoption of the re- port of the previous committee at the meeting at which they were selected, that it was the purpose of the Town to erect a schoolhouse substantially after the design proposed in that report. They therefore prepared a brief outline, which was printed and submitted to various architects, with an invitation for them to present competing plans and estimates.
Plans and estimates were received from twenty-three archi- tects, which were carefully examined and considered by the com- mitttee. After several meetings and a careful consideration, the committee approved and selected the plans and estimates which were prepared by Walter Parkhurst, formerly of Milford, now of Boston. The building which is proposed to be erected and com-
20
pleted in accordance with this plan, is of Romanesque style, 113 feet long and 42 feet wide, to be built of Milford granite with brownstone trimmings.
The building will contain six class rooms, each of which will seat 30 or more pupils at desks ; an assembly room, which, with two connecting rooms, will seat 600 persons ; a chemical and physical laboratory, each of which will accommodate 30; and a drawing room, with north light, with accommodations for 40. The basement will contain the ordinary conveniences necessary in such a building.
The cost of this building, as estimated by the architect, is $33,000, and we are assured that the building can be built for that sum in the best and most workmanlike manner. In addition to this cost, there will be the expense of heating and ventilation.
The committee have not deemed it their duty to adopt any particular system of heating and ventilation, but have investigated several, and expect at the proper time to select the one best adapted for the needs of this building. The cost of heating and ventilating system is estimated to be about $3500. The commit- tee are assured by the architect that the entire cost of the build- ing, completed, will be within the amount mentioned in the former report, namely, $40,000.
In adopting a plan for a new High schoolhouse, the commit- tee felt that their duty required them to provide for the needs of the town beyond the present generation. They felt it was due to the town and to the cause of education, to have a High school building with accommodations fully adequate to the needs of this and the coming generation, which shall be alike a credit to the town, a benefit to every person having children to educate, and one which will be a source of gratification and pride to all our citizens.
In the selection of a plan, the committee were much pleased to receive the most artistic and complete designs (out of so many fine ones) from a graduate of this very High school, a Milford boy, with Milford affiliations, and with an interest in the town and its prosperity. They believe his qualifications and experience
