REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE IN THE MATTER OF "THE LEGION MEMORIAL" ATHLETIC FIELD
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
At the last annual Town Meeting to your Committee was given the authority to purchase and drain the land at the junction of Commercial and Middle Streets for the purpose of providing a playground or athletic field for use in connection with the Wey- mouth High School, said field to be named "The Legion Memorial Field," and the sum of $10,906.00 was made available for this purpose.
The form of the vote first put upon your Committee the duty of determining specifically the feasibility of the entire project. This necessitated the securing of carefully worked-out estimates in connection with surveys and soundings. Mr. Fred O. Stevens, Superintendent of the Water Department, assisted by Mr. Russell H. Whiting, who made careful surveys of the location, has made such estimates, and his report to your Committee has warranted them in going ahead with the purchase, and making preparations for drainage.
An examination of the title by the Town Counsel disclosed that certain easements existed over this land which needed to be extin- guished, and from an engineering point of view it was desirable that certain easements which would facilitate better drainage should be secured. This being done through the office of the Town Counsel, late in the year, the property was finally deeded to the Town and payment made therefor.
The balance of the appropriation now available is probably suf- ficient to care for the thorough draining of the land, and such work will necessarily have to be done during the coming year. Appended to this report is a reproduction of a possible plan of development to be carried out after the field shall be drained. Such work, of course, must be postponed until the surface has had an opportunity for drying out, and your Committee believe that this work cannot with much certainty be taken up before the year 1927.
Respectfully submitted,
PRINCE H. TIRRELL, Chairman, E. CLIFTON BARKER, Secretary, LOUISE CRAWFORD, WILLIAM J. FITZSIMMONS, PARKER T. PEARSON, THERON L. TIRRELL, JOHN H. TOWER.
