REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
At the adjourned town meeting on April 13 an unex- pected reduction of $22,950 was voted, which necessitated radical reductions in salaries and in the rorganization of the system as explained in the report of the superinten- dent of schools. The reductions in salaries and elimina- tion of nine teachers were in no sense a reflection upon the efficiency of those involved but due to the necessity of keeping within the budget. The consolidation of schools was deemed undesirable from many points of view. The effects, however, will be carefully studied during the en- suing year.
The major expenses for maintenance during the year were as follows: heating repairs $967.15 (including two new sections in the boiler at the Hedge School), plumbing $410.76 (including replacement of water pipe filled with scale at Cornish School), painting and calsomining $1,328, building repairs $1,165.21 (including $865 for repointing of east wall of the high school building).
The east wall of the new High School building had de- veloped some bad leaks due apparently to failure to follow specifications in full. According to the terms of the orig- inal contract with the D'Amore Construction Company who constructed the building, the town has a legal claim against the company for the money expended for repairs due to defective workmanship. There is also a bond against water coming into the building from any exterior surface. One-half the cost of repointing the east wall was paid in December. Funds for the other half were retained until the work has proven satisfactory.
