At this time Mr. Roy Rosewell for the Committee on a New Fire House at South Weymouth read a report of the Committee as follows:
35
To the Town Meeting Members, Town of Weymouth, Mass.
By virtue of a motion passed at the Annual Town Meeting for March 2. 1936, your committee hereby reports on the subject matter of Article 42 of the warrant for that year.
The Article in question necessitated a consideration of several items, namely :
a. The choice of the Taylor property for a site for a proposed fire station in South Weymouth.
b. The availability of other sites for the same.
c. The adaptability of the present site.
d. The need for a new fire station.
e. The cost of a new fire station.
f. The methods of financing such a project.
The committee held many meetings at which no less than four members were present at each one. The preliminary meetings involved the question of location for it was felt that we could not proceed with the type of building or its size until this matter were settled.
The Taylor property was viewed by the members and while its size and location recommended it to the committee, it felt that other considerations weighed more heavily. Briefly, the cost of the land was an item of expense that was not felt necessary to undertake; the additional acquisition of land. by the town was felt unwise; another piece of property would be removed from the list of taxable property; and the use of the land would materially benefit no one insofar as the shift of the location of the fire station to that place was concerned.
Disposing of the Taylor property we then searched the vicinity for other locations what would be likely sites. We investigated the Montgomery prop- erty, the Newbert land, the next lot to the Fogg Opera House, the land in the rear of Margersson's garage, and the present site. All these properties except the land were condemned for one or the other reasons named above. And by the same token, the present site was and is recommended as the site for the new station.
In discussing the desirability of a new station, the committee feels that with a replacement of the present station by one more modern and up-to- date, that the physical needs of the fire department, for many years will be filled. For more adequate and efficient fire-fighting, for the removal of a potential fire hazard, for the obvious elimination of an out-moded building, for the need in a few years of another piece of equipment in South Wey- mouth, the Committee goes on record as seeing an immediate need for a new station.
The cost of the new station that the committee recommends is slightly more than anticipated. It will be noted that three months ago we had figures from two contractors, and that a week ago we had figures from two others. The increase in three months in the estimated costs was about ten percent. It is our feeling that the longer we delay, the higher the cost will be. We ask for $40,000. for the new station.
At the outset we interviewed five architects, weighed their merits and judged their past performances. From this group there was selected Francis Roberts who has generously assisted and given us a fine set of plans and specifications - plans and specifications on which our figures are based.
The new layout will easily go on the property the Town now has in Columbian Square. It provided for three pieces of apparatus and small forest wagon. The larger pieces will be located at the front of the build-
36
ing, and the forest wagon will ultimately be located in the rear of it. At the present time there are only two pieces of regular pieces of apparatus and a forest wagon there, but on the advice of the Chief of the Department. we are forseeing the time in the future when a third piece of equipment will be necessary.
Provision has been made for the care of additional men, as well as increased storage and repairing facilities. The building is of Georgian Colonial type and built two stories high. It is designed not only with a view of having the best for the lowest price, but with a view of having a modern efficient building which will be at one and the same time an archi- tectural addition to our imposing group of public buildings. We have en- deavored to inculcate into the new building all those facilities which the North Weymouth station has, and which may be ascertained by reading the current Town Report.
The Committee went into the matter of how to finance the building and felt that it would be better were the Town to pay the whole of the ex- pense rather than seek outside assistance. However, it may be possible to obtain a portion of these to erect the building with W. P. A. funds, if such are available, without undue increase in cost and with no increase difficulty to your committee. There is no question but that if the building were erected with government aid, there would be a financial saving to the town.
The committee wishes to thank the architect, Francis Roberts, for his untiring and unstinted efforts in our behalf. This report is subscribed to by all members of the committee without dissent.
