Westlands School Addition.


At the annual town meeting of 1941, the Moderator Was authorized to appoint a committee of four persons to work in conjunction with the school committee to secure plans, specifications, and estimates of cost for an addition to the Westlands school. The sum of $1400 was appropriated to cover preliminary expenses. The Moderator appointed Clifford Hartley, C. Luther Cashin, Clarence G. Audoin, and Donald A. Dunsford. The committee organized by electing Mr. Hartley chairman and Mr. Dunsford secretary.


The firm of Ashton and Huntress of Lawrence, the architects for the addition to the High School, was em- ployed. £ Their plans for a four-room addition on the rear of the old building, with rooms for offices and toilets, and a brick facing on both the old part and the new, were ap- proved.

Under this contract the electric work was sublet to Derby Electric Co., the heating and the plumbing to Farrell and Conaton, and the painting to pp E. C. Pearson Co. The building was completed and occupied in January 1942.
