Article 2. The following report of Committee on In- creased School Accommodations was received :
June 27, 1916.
Report of the Committee appointed at the Annual Town Meeting in 1916 to investigate and report as to the cost of a High School building for the Town of Middleborough and available location for same.
Your Committee has given the matter of the school building problem in Middleborough very serious considera- tion, and believes that the situation is such that it is its duty to bring its report before the voters of the town at this time, even though it is at a time of year when it is very difficult to get a large attendance at a town meeting.
We are prepared to make a unanimous report and recom- mendation as to a site for a building, if one is to be built at the present time. The lot in the rear of the present High School building, that is to say the lot between the school building and Union Street, is owned by the town and is available for such a purpose. We are convinced that it has many features to recommend it. It is centrally located and at the same time is not close to the traffic of a noisy street. It is amply large for such a building as the town needs to construct and the Town House lot adjoining it must always be kept open and is available for walks and approaches. A building placed there could be made a substantial and pleasing feature of our group of town buildings, without an extravagant expenditure for architectural features. A building placed on a prominent corner in some other location in town would cost many thousand dollars more for a con- struction to fit its surroundings, without mentioning the
81
cost of the lot itself. We recommend that the town, if it votes to build a High School building, make use of this lot and face the building toward Town House Avenue, using the town house lot for the front walks and approaches.
We have gone into the matter of the type of building needed, and the cost, with the assistance of two architects, who have submitted sketches that have been carefully exam- ined and have been pronounced adequate by the school authorities. A three story building seems to be agreed upon as the one best fitted to our conditions, with an Assem- bly Hall on the lower 'floor in the rear to seat about 500, with class-room facilities for 400 to 450 pupils, and an oppor- tunity to enlarge the building in a satisfactory manner if he school grows beyond this limit; with up-to-date labora- tories, a lunch-room, domestic science room, and manual training room; in short the accepted and standard features of a modern high school. We have gone far enough with our investigations to be convinced that such a building can be built on the lot named and fully equipped for a total cost of $100.00. We do not believe that the town can obtain a satisfactory building for less money, and we do not recom- mend that any attempt be made to build a high school build- ing for a smaller outlay.
The condition in our schools is a serious one, and the congestion is growing worse each year. The High School is only one part of the problem, for the congestion in the grades is fully as bad. It is going to be very difficult to properly house the pupils for the coming year. The follow- ing year conditions will be even worse.
The State inspectors have notified the town authorities that the Town House School can only be used for a temporary relief and that a large expenditure must be made upon the Union Street building if it is to be used beyond the present year. All sorts of schemes have to be devised to make the pupils fit into the buildings.
In order to have a building ready for the fall of 1917, it will be necessary to have work commenced very soon. We know that material and labor are on a very high level, but we get no encouragement from any source of any prospective decrease in the next year or two.
We realize that the construction of a High School build- ing means a heavy burden to the town. But we also believe that the voters are thoroughly in sympathy with the policy
82
of making an adequate provision for their schools, and that any backward step from that course would in the end be disastrous to the welfare of the town.
We recommend that the town build a High School build- ing and that construction be commenced as soon as possible, so that the building may be ready to occupy by a year from next September.
Respectfully submitted,
GRANVILLE E. TILLSON D. D. SULLIVAN GEO. R. SAMPSON CHARLES N. ATWOOD BOURNE WOOD
Committee.
Voted: That the town build and equip a new High School building on the site and in accordance with the plans presented by the building committee, at a cost not to exceed $100,000.
Voted: That the Committee on Investigation of School conditions be a building committee appointed by the Town to carry into effect the provisions of this motion with full power to act.
Voted: That the Treasurer be authorized to borrow, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, or a majority thereof a sum of money not to exceed $100,000 to be denomi- nated the "High School Loan;" and to issue for the same, 100 notes or bonds of the town in denominations of $1,000 each, signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Selectmen, or a majority thereof, payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 14, Chapter 719, of the Acts of 1913, so that the whole of said loan shall be paid in not more than twenty years from the date of issue of the first note or bond or at such earlier date as the Town Treasurer and Board of Selectmen, or a majority thereof may determine.
Voted: That $475 be appropriated for the purpose of repairing Union Street School and that such sum be raised in addition to the sums previously assessed on the Polls and Estates of the Town during the current municipal year and assessed, committed and collected in accordance with the Statutes provided therefor, and with the By-laws of. the Town.
