It proposed to grade the 5 feet below Redington street upon which the building shall face, that is, to grade it to the level of Sheridan road and Mapledale place. But why should it be graded to these streets? We shall not own the property on Sheridan road, and Mapledale place is no thoroughfare. It would seem to me that the grade should be to Redington street.
Moreover, the proposed location of the building in the rear of the lot would hide it behind the three buildings on Sheridan road, while the houses to be erected on the high ground in the rear must blanket it on that side, shutting out the air, and the western sunlight.
Only one favored this proposal at that time. Perhaps I was more decided than any one else in disapproval of this plan; if there has been any change in this plan I have not heard it dis- cussed by the Committee.
From the report of the Majority I do not see how any one unfamiliar with this location could acquire anything like a just estimate of the lot and its condition. I venture to say there are scores of our citizens who have never seen it, and those who are more or less familiar with its conditions could not form any judgment as to the cost of its development. Before a vote on

this question is taken, I wish every voter could stand on Reding- ton street and look down into the depths of the bog below. Twenty feet below where one would stand there yawns a chasm into which, apparently, countless loads of filling must be dumped, if it were to be raised to the level of Redington street.
Interested in the location of school buildings as I have recently travelled by trolley through the streets of scores of towns and cities between here and New York, taking particular notice of the school buildings, I have never once seen one which was not raised above the grade of the street.
This site is the natural basin into which the drainage from the Phillip's school hill, upper Redington street, and the hills in the rear empties itself. From these the wash of ages has left its deposit to a depth of to my knowledge, unknown. Before ever foundations for a building are laid this deposit must be removed and an expensive system of drainage installed through private property to connect with sewers on Sheridan road. So far as I am aware no one has any knowledge where an adequate amount of filling is to be obtained. True, we have ledges which can be blasted, but this is also an expensive operation. While the Com- mittee expresses itself as believing $4,000 is a liberal estimate, should not actual figures, rather than a mere estimate be pro- cured.
Would this Town be satisfied to put a $100,000 building into a sunken lot, 5 feet below grade and hidden from view by houses on Sheridan road ?
In my opinion nothing less than the whole area bounded by Sheridan road, Redington street and Mapledale place would satisfy the Town. It would be poor economy to defer the pur- chase of the whole until value shall have further increased. I have endeavored with the aid of an expert to arrive at a reason- able estimate of the total cost of acquiring this property. The estimate which he considered a very conservative one totals $28,000. This with the Committee's own figures of $4,000 for raising to a point five feet below grade brings it to $32,000. What it might be when raised to a proper height no one has dared to estimate.

All this for a location, before putting up a building which will probably cost at least $85,000 or $90,00. Are you ready now to vote for such an outlay ?
Finally, as this minority report is intended to supplement the report of the majority, furnishing additional facts about the different sites considered, and you are to be the judges.
I offer no recommendations.

Return on the Warrant.
Pursuant to the within Warrant to me directed, I have notified the legal voters of Swampscott by posting attested copies of said Warrant at the Town Hall, Depots, Post Offices and three other public and conspicuous places in Swampscott on Wednesday, the twenty-first day of December, 1910. The posting of said notices being at least seven days before the time of said meeting.
RICHARD G. GILLEY,
Constable.
Meeting called to order at S o'clock P. M. by the Moderator. Mr. Harry O. Russ, Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee read and submitted the following report upon the Articles in the Warrant.
Committee on Ways and Means.
ARTICLE I. This whole question of new school-house and site is one involving the expenditure of a large sum of money. The special Committee appointed to care for the matter has made both a majority and minority report. The matter has come to the Committee on Ways and Means for its report only recently, the time allotted being entirely too brief for intelligent con- sideration by it, particularly in view of the importance of the question. This Committee has no earnest desire to undertake work it is not called upon to do, neither has it any intention of blindly recommending to the Town findings of any individual or other Committee without first satisfying itself that such findings are justified by the facts. Believing this to be the only con- sistent and proper attitude to adopt, inasmuch as the Committee on Ways and Means, as we understand it, is appointed as a safe- guard to the interests of the Town, and as a disregard for this fact involves a dangerous precedent, we make the request that the meeting this evening, by vote, extend to us the courtesy of sufficient time to enable us to go into the matter in our own way, and report at the next Annual Meeting in March, at which time a full and representative vote on the entire matter may be had.

Mr. Hastings having accepted Mr. Bowen's Amendment, Mr. Charles T. Jackson moved to amend, that it take effect after the next annual Town Meeting, which was carried.
