Report of the High School Building Committee


REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :


Your Committee appointed on June 28, 1929, to make alter- ations and additions to the High School, has carried out your instructions and thinks that the building speaks for itself better than we can describe it with mere words.


We do, however, wish to thank the Town for the ample funds provided, making it possible for us to carry the plans to completion.


We were indeed fortunate to have such competent archi- tects as Messrs. Mclaughlin & Burr, who gave unsparingly of their time to every detail, so that we may now say that we have a beautiful building with the most modern equipment for the education of our Youth and a spacious auditorium for the use of our citizens.


With the best Architect and ample funds it would have been impossible to erect a fine building without skilled me- chanics. We feel that we made no mistake in the selection of John N. Hartwell as a general contractor, who with his corps of skilled workmen, from the first shovelful of earth turned, to the last brushful of paint on the interior, seemed determined to give to the Town full value for the money expended.


We were favored with good weather throughout the entire period of construction. The Committee, architect and contractor


41

worked in perfect harmony and the building was completed, dedicated and turned over to the Town on September 5th, 1930.

Report of Town Office Building Committee


REPORT OF THE TOWN OFFICE BUILDING COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :


The Committee chosen in March 1930 to make a study of the Town's needs, procure plans and secure estimates of the cost of a New Town Office Building, organized about a week after its appointment and immediately began to consider its duties.


The need of the Town for a new building in which to tran- sact its business was very apparent but there were so many different views as to the best and most economical way to obtain the desired result that it was very hard to decide just what to recommend to the Town.


There were several propositions considered, each presenting its desirabilities and its seeming impossbilities.


The remodeling of the old hall was considered but eminent builders and architects seemed to agree that it would be impos- sible to do this and give us the needed space without the ex- penditure of a large amount of money and that the present structure was not of sufficient value to warrant it.


The location was also considered, some feeling that the offices should be removed from the Civic Center lot and other land acquired for the purpose.


At one of the meetings it was finally decided that the Com- mittee should recommend the building of an entirely new struc- ture and McLaughlin and Burr were employed to make pre- liminary sketches and procure estimates on the probable cost of construction.


These plans were drawn and the estimates show that the building can be built for $65,000.00


43


Report of Town Office Building Committee


It is probable that the Town can build cheaper now than later, but with the nationwide depression and with the large obligations which the Town will have to meet in the next five years, the Committee has decided to recommend as a temporary relief measure, some changes in the present hall and are present- ing plans and an estimated cost of the complete work.


The Committee does not feel that this re-modeled building will serve the Town for a greater period than five years, at which time we will undoubtedly be in a better position to build the new building.

Report of Tercentenary Committee


REPORT OF TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE


At the Annual Town Meeting held March 3, 1930, the follow- ing Tercentenary Committee was elected to prepare an observ- ance of the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in its relation to the Town of Scituate; and an appropriation of $1,500.00 for the use of said committee was voted at the same meeting.

The Committee, electing James W. Turner chairman and Dr. Robert T. Stearns clerk, and deciding it should function in an historical and commemorative attitude, held eleven meetings between April 22, and December 1, 1930, inclusive.


1. It manufactured for distribution 500 pennant flags (auto size) bearing the Scituate Town Seal on an historical field.


2. It made, painted, and lettered, numerous small wooden signs identifying local historic places and buildings, and erected these about the town in their correct locations.


3. It designed, made, and erected, four permanent and distinctive Town Entrance Markers at the Town boundary lines on the four main roads into the town. This work required co- operation with the officials of adjoining towns, and the consent of and assistance from the Massachusetts State Department of


45


Report of Tercentenary Committee


Public Works. These are permanent Entrance Markers and are Town Property.


4. It designed and printed 5,000 booklets giving an inter- esting and historical synopsis of Scituate, several illustrations, and included an excellent black and white map of the town. These were distributed through local agencies and were eagerly sought and caused much favorable comment.


5. By its request and activities the Massachusetts Tercen- tenary Commission (State) granted and erected nine permanent metal historical markers in the town at important sites. These markers are a part of the State plan to erect a standard type of marker throughout the Commonwealth. The committee had considerable trouble and the Town is fortunate in securing so large an allottment.


6. Co-operating with the Historical Society the Committee put the old mill at Greenbush in running condition, and the operation of this venerable plant was one of the important his- torical assets of the celebration.


7. It prepared and circulated a leaflet containing a calen- dar of the principal events scheduled for the summer months.


The Tercentenary Committee expresses its sincere thanks and appreciation to the various organizations of the Town whose co- operation helped greatly in its work; also to those individuals whose ability, skill, labor, and time, often at considerable incon- venience to themselves, made its program possible.


Respectfully submitted, .

Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE


Through local and county-wide meetings, through the prep- aration and mailing of timely circular letters, through the 4-H clubs organized for boys and girls of the county, through per- sonal correspondence and by means of individual service to far- mers and members of their families, the Plymouth County Ex- tension Service during the year 1930 co-operated with every town in the county in bringing to its citizens information re- garding agriculture and homemaking. Approximately fifty-five hundred families in the county have received assistance, infor- mation, or advice from the Extension Service this past year.


The following paragraphs summarize very briefly some of the ways through which the town of Scituate was able to take advantage of the service offered through this organization.


Scituate farmers attended many of the meetings. Sixty- three men received regularly letters and bulletins containing in- formation on agricultural subjects. Thirteen special vists were made to farmers to give some definite advice or suggestions on definite questions. Many of these dealt with market garden matters although poultry, cranberry, and dairy subjects were also involved. An illustrated talk was given by the county agent before the Grange on the subject of vegetable insects. During the county-wide rat campaign 28 packages of especially prepared poisoned bait were supplied to citizens of the town at cost.


Many homemakers have received instruction and suggestions concerning Child Feeding and related topics. Others have par- ticipated in the Food Preservation project.


Four-H club members were enrolled in the garden and poul- try clubs. The garden club members were each visited by the County Club Agent. One poultry club member was selected as


47


Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture


the Plymouth County Poultry Delegate and he attended the state 4-H camp at Amherst.


The same club member was selected to represent Massachu- setts at Camp Vail, Springfield, where club members gather from 14 states.


As Town Director I have endeavored to extend locally the service of this organization.

Report of the Clean-Up Committee


REPORT OF THE CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Scituate :


Your committee has adopted a system that we feel is uni- form and efficient. By dividing the town into 4 districts, and employing collectors that live in the district who are familiar with their respective localities, results have proven very satis- factory to all, including the committee. Complaints have been very few, being taken care of as soon as reported.


Your committee, after careful investigation, looks with favor to the practice of householders depositing waste material not in- cluding ashes, in piles upon their own premises. This will afford the collectors the advantage of removing material from the ground with shovels into trucks. In the past many containers have been so large and heavy, it was impossible to lift them on to a truck, owing to the great weight and had to be dumped and the contents shoveled into a truck.


The containers that are located in various sections of the town for waste paper, etc., have been painted white with the word SCITUATE in black letters. They present a neat and clean appearance. This practice will continue as it has received favorable comment.


Your committee wishes to announce that for the year 1931, CLEAN-UP WEEK will be from May 4th to 9th inclusive.


In conclusion, your committee wishes to thank the Towns People for their suggestions and support.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN McCORMACK, Chairman, REV. ALLAN D. CREELMAN.

Report of the Airport Committee


REPORT OF THE AIRPORT COMMITTEE


It has been determined by this Committee that the most practicable available site for the proposed airport for the Town of Scituate is the present easterly spillway of the Boston Sand and Gravel Company at Greenbush. The Boston Sand and Gravel Company are agreeable to the use of this location, pro- viding it does not interfere with their operations, and further, providing that such operations as a flying field, including any alterations made thereto, shall be supervised by said company. The use of the field may be secured by lease running for five years at a yearly rental of $1 per year.


In view of this report, it is recommended that the Select- men be requested to place an article in the Town Warrant for the March Meeting to this effect :


To see if the town will authorize the Selectmen to obtain a permit from the Boston Sand & Gravel Company to use for a period of five years as a flying field and airport its spillway at a nominal rental, and to see if the town will raise and appro- priate the sum of four hundred and seventy-five ($475.00) to make said field suitable for flying purposes, or act thereon.
