REPORT OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE FOR THE EAST WEYMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Construction of the East Weymouth Elementary School (Jackson School) was substantially completed in February and was occupied by the school children on March 4, 1957.
Because of the exceptionally dry summer, seeding done in the spring was not successful and was done over in the fall. Certain other prob- lems relating to the tile floors requiring correction have delayed final pay- ment to the contractor.
At an Open House in November, the public was invited to inspect the school.
Following is the summary of expenditures to date:

REPORT OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE FOR THE HOMESTEAD AND POND SCHOOL ADDITIONS
The special Town Meeting of April 29, 1957 appropriated funds for the preparation of plans, specifications and the securing of bids for additions to the Homestead and Pond Schools. For the Homestead School Addi- tion, $7,500 was appropriated; for the Pond School Addition, $15,000 was appropriated.
Five members of the original building committee for these schools accepted reappointment. Two Appropriation Committee members were appointed by the Moderator to complete the committee of seven. The committee appointed the same architects who had planned the original schools, Korslund, LeNormand and Quann for the Homestead Addition and Collens, Willis & Beckonert for the Pond Addition.
Bids for the Homestead School Addition of three classrooms and a remedial reading room were received on October 26. Based on the lowest general contract bid received, that of A. Bonfatti of Norwood, the follow- ing budget was adopted and funds were appropriated at the Special Town Meeting on November 18, 1957. Construction is underway.

REPORT OF THE GREEN STREET BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Committee held its organization meeting on November 26, 1956. The Committee held several meetings to interview architects and visited schools built by these architects in Weymouth and other communities. On January 24, 1957 it was unanimously voted that the firm of Collens, Willis and Beckonert be engaged as architects, using the Ralph Talbot School plans with minor modifications, at a fee of 41/2 perecent.
Bids for the construction of the school were opened on June 7th. The lowest was $572,000. In contrast the low bid for the erection of the Ralph Talbot School by the same contractor received on September 15, 1954 was $469,400. After a conference with the Appropriations Com- mittee, the Building Committee Voted to reject all bids and proceed to revise the plans.
Bids on the revised plans were opend on October 26th. The low bid received was $513,630. A budget of $626,000, including additional site de- velopment costs not included in the general contract of $32,500, was adopted for presentation to the Appropriations Committee and the Special Town Meeting called for November 18th. Site costs for this project were excessively high due to the lack of loam on the site, the need for a surface water drain across the property and the construction of Merry- knoll Road as a Class A street, with utilities sized for the future street, to serve as the access driveway to the proposed building.
On recommendation of the Appropriation Committee, who consider- ed the cost tro high, the Special Town Meeting failed to vote the necessary $600,000 bond issue.
Following the November 18th Town Meeting, the Building Com- mittee decided to again interview architects, and the firm of Collens. Willis and Beckonert declined reconsideration. On January 24, 1958 the firm of Korslund, leNormand and Quann of Norwood were engaged as the new architects for the school.
