FINANCE COMMITTEE
EDWARD GIBBS, JR., Chairman
BERTRAND D. WESTENDARP, Secretary
LAURENCE F. DAVIS ROBERT J. MAHER
CHARLES E. STILLINGS
FREDERICK J. ENGLAND
CHARLES T. ANDERSON
LEWIS O. STOCKER
The Dock Commission reported progress and asked to be continued. Their report of progress is printed in the Town Report.
Hon. John J. Mullen was granted permission to offer a resolution.
"Resolved that, we the members of the Town Meeting en- dorse the action of His Excellency the Governor James M. Curley in aiding this town by asking the Federal Government to furnish $350,000 to be used to dredge the Saugus River from the ocean to Fox Hill Bridge, for the development of our industrial waterfront."
Unanimously adopted.
At this time the High School Building Committee offered its final report.
To the Members of the Limited Town Meeting and Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
At the annual town meeting of 1932, following the passage of an article appropriating the sum of $105,000.00 for the construction of an addition to Saugus High School and an- other to authorize the moderator to appoint a committee to construct the same, Hon. Frank P. Bennett, Jr., moderator of the Town of Saugus, appointed the following citizens to serve on such a committee : J. Arthur Raddin, Paul A. Haley, Arthur D. Hitchings, Frederick B. Willis, and William Eastman.
The committee at once started preliminary work for the construction of the building. Messrs. Kilham, Hopkins, and Greeley of Boston were selected as architects with Alden C. Loring of Saugus as associate architect.
64
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
After studies, your committee was convinced that the most economical and satisfactory method of approach was to con- struct the addition at the rear of Saugus High school, fronting on East Denver street, with a connecting bridge.
Upon the opening of bids, the committee found Fauci Brothers of Saugus to be low and they were awarded the contract. The building was completed and furnished in time for the opening of school in September of 1933.
At the annual town meeting of 1934, your committee re- ported verbally that it had completed the building at a cost of $101,000.00 and requested permission of the members to expend the balance in the construction of a much needed cafe- teria and this work has been accomplished, so far as possible, during the past year. Herbert C. Weed of Lynn has been architect in this work and the committee has expended such funds as were available for what it considered the most neces- sary and primary items of cafeteria equipment. It has been impossible to complete the job and your committee recom- mends to the limited town meeting the adoption of the article in the warrant calling for an appropriation to make this possible.
Prior to the start of the construction work on the new build- ing, your committee induced Mr. William Eastman, a builder with a half century of experience, to become clerk of the works, or inspector, in the construction. The committee can- not too highly commend the integrity and faithfullness of Mr. Eastman and the remarkable and highly intelligent manner in which he served the interests of the committee and the Town. Your committee considers the money extended for his services as the best insurance policy of the town could possibly have placed on the building during construction.
Upon the resignation of Mr. Eastman, the moderator ap- pointed to the vacancy Mr. Charles E. Stillings of North Saugus.
Your committee presents to the Town tonight the plans of the new building with the recommendation that they be turned over to the school committee for preservation. Their value in the future, when alterations or repairs may be made in the building, is unquestioned.
65
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING
1935]
Your committee also wishes to call attention to the fact that it has so designed the new building that future expansion is available readily. The corridors run in such a manner that an addition may be erected extending towards Central street and another extending in the direction of Winter street. Such forethought should take care of two further buildings and another may be obtained by modernizing the front or tearing it down and erecting another building on its location. The committee also gives into the care of the Town a plan drawn by Mr. Eastman showing these first two possibilities.
In conclusion your committee wishes to express its thanks to all who have so graciously extended it aid in the past. It wishes to particularly thank Vernon W. Evans, superintendent of schools, whose advice and keen perception of the town's needs has been of great value. To all members of the school committee, to the superintendent of public works, who aided in grading the grounds about the building, to the Board of Selectmen, to all town officials and citizens whose aid was at all times available at request, the committee wishes to express its deepest appreciation.
Serving upon this committee and assistsing in bringing the children of Saugus a building worthy of their future and the future of the State and Nation has been to the members of your committee not a burden but a most welcome opportunity for service. For this opportunity, we desire to express to the members of the limited town meeting, to the citizens of the Town, and to the moderator of this municipal assembly, our deepest thanks.
Signed : J. ARTHUR RADDIN, Chairman PAUL A. HALEY, Secretary ARTHUR D. HITCHINGS FREDERICK B. WILLIS CHARLES E. STILLINGS
