REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
A Report by the High School Building Committee
At a session of Town Meeting held on March 19, 1917, the Town votet "That a Committee consisting of John J. Round, William P. Shep- ard, Edward E. Lee, George E. Walker, J. Lowe McMahon, Thomas A. Hickey, John S. Griffiths, Willard B. Atwell, Charles H. Howe, Arthur H. Boardman, William A. Prescott be and hereby is appointed to carry out the vote of the Town under Article 6 of the Town Warrant of Feb- ruary 12, 1914, whereby the report of a committee was accepted and its recommendations adopted, and that they be intsructed to proceed forth- with to prepare plans and begin the erection of a High School Building not later than March 1918, on the Wakefield Lot, which shall not exceed in cost $280,000. for the construction and equipment. The name of Frank J. Henkel, and Charles N. Winship are added to the Committee." The name of Charles E. Montague was also added. The appropriation was later enlarged to $450,000.00.
This Committee organized by electing John J. Round Chairman, and Willard B. Atwell Secretary. Since the Committee was appointed, we have lost three valuable members, two by death, Mr. Charles H. Howe in 1918 and Mrs. William A. Prescott in 1920, and Mr. George E. Walker by removal from Town.
Inasmuch as this schoolhouse is probably the most expensive the Town will build for fifty years to come, the Committee thought it wise to get expert advice to guard agaist possible errors. Mr. Herbert L. Patterson of the Boston School Building Commission was engaged as engineer and Mr. Philip Foster was engaged as landscape architect to lay out the proper lot development and to locate the building.
Frank Irving Cooper was selected as architect, and presented plans which met the approval of the School Committee and the Building Com- mittee. These plans were put out for bids in May 1919. All estimates exceeded the appropriation and, of course, had to be rejected. As the plans provided for the needs of our High School, it was then voted "to postpone building the new High School until a more propitious time."
In September 1921 these plans with a few minor alterations were again put out for bids. The general contract was given to C. H. Cun- ningham & Son Company of Lynn for $292,218. During the erection of
190
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
the building it was found possible to make certain desirable changes and still bring the cost of the building within the appropriation. This the Committee voted to do. The changes brought the general contract up to $300,427.13. The Heating and ventilating contract was awarded to Stone-Underhill Heating tnd Ventilating Company for $61,255. Judging from the status of the market, the Committee let the contract at the most opportune time since the war, as at that time there were several contractors who wanted work to keep their organizations intact. The general contract included the work of finish grading from a line about fifty feet from the rear of the building to Main Street.
When we began, we did not dream that we should be able to do any- thing with the rear of the lot. Mr. Arthur G. and the late Mrs. Walton wanted to do something for the school and contributed $10,000 to be applied on the grading in the rear. When the Committee first put out plans for bids and found all quotations too high, the Town made an appropriation for $13,200 to pay expenses incurred to date, to avoid the issue of bonds. We made the final statement with the general contractor in October 1924, the building having been completed and furnished within the appropriation. Since the completing of the building about $6,000 of the special appropriation of $13.200 has been spent in grading the rear of the High School Lot, including a new piece of land acquired on the south side of the building, but this has not completed the job, and at this town meeting we propose to ask the town to allow us to spend the balance of our appropriation in the completion of the grading of the lot. We hope it will be a long time before the town is called upon to spend any more money on the High School except for general upkeep.
As far as certain equipment was concerned the Committee was for- tunate in being in the market at a time when some concerns wanted con- tracts to keep their factories going during a dull period. We were able to save several thousand dollars because of this.
The Committee has held 105 meetings, many of these lasting well towards midnight. It has never been hard to get a quorum, practically all members attending each meeting. That the Town was able to have such a building as we now have is due to the energetic work and wisdom of some of our members.
Below you will find a brief summary, a detailed statement of which will be found in the Town's Accountant's reports. (No account here is made of the $5,000 which was voted by the Town to pay to Mr. Driver, the original architect, who was discharged and settled with by a vote of the Town. Mr. Drive was paid $2400. Other small items were paid and the balance used by the Town for other purposes).

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of the Municipal Light Board
To the Citizens of Wakefield :
We submit herewith our report concerning the gas and electric de- partments for the year ending December 31st, 1924. Together with the Manager's report which is attached hereto, it is the 31st report of the Department.
-
The Manager's report covers in detail the financial standing of the plant; the year's operations, both gas and electric, and submits a de- tailed list of recommendations for 1925.
The outstanding points of the year's operations are briefly these.
1. Profit in Electric Department of about $44,000.
2. Profit in Gas Department of about $4,000.
3. Certain reduction of electric rate on April 1, 1925.
The commissioners are glad to report that both the new high ten- sion system and the new sub-station have been completed and are satis- factory in every way. The Heywood Wakefield Company's plant has been connected with our system and the outlook on the electric end of our business is very promising for the future.
The new Main Street-Albion Street and Lakeside White Way have been installed and the board is convinced that this sign of civic progress meets with the approval of the townspeople.
The Department is planning to light the town for the same price as paid last year, namely, $18,300, thereby saving the town something over $2,000 on the "going" rates for light.
During the past three months the Commissioners have had several conferences with the officials of the Malden and Melrose Gas Light Company with the view of determining whether or not it would be to the advantage of the Town as a whole to purchase its supply of gas and distribute it as heretofore, by, and under the direction of the Light De- partment. A similar arrangement is, and has been for several years, in effect with respect to electricity, to the decided advantage of the Town as a whole. The Commissioners have very recently received, from
193
REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD
the Malden and Melrose Gas Light Company, an offer which they desire to study carefully and they expect to make a report thereon within a short time.
There are a few large extensions of both gas and electricity in view for the coming year, including an extension of both gas and electrical service into the New Tamworth Hill Section in Greenwood and an exten- sion of gas service into the section formerly occupied by the old fair grounds at the head of Lake Quannapowit, but it is the intention of the Board to spend most of its time, energy and money in making both the existing gas and electric service more efficient so that the townspeople will receive the greatest value for the money they pay for these services.
FINANCIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
There seems to be no end to the flood of applications for gas and electric service, and therefore, to be in a position to adequately cope with the demands of the townspeople for service the Board makes the follow- ing recommendations for capital for construction purposes for the year 1925.
First: That the Town authorize the transfer from the Operation Fund (which shows a cash balance as of Dec. 31, 1924 of $32,878.36) to the Construction Fund for construction purposes, the sum of $30,000.00.
Second : That the Town authorize a Twenty-Year Bond issue of $20,000.00.
As to the first recommendation: This will mean that the towns- people will in effect have returned to them part of the profits of the Department of the last two years because this money will be used for further extension of gas and electric service which will mean greater revenue for the department and therefore greater profits which will in turn be used for further reductions in rates when possible. This method also reduces, greatly, fixed charges in that no interest has to be paid thereon and that the principal thereof does not have to be repaid.
As to the second recommendation: This will in no way effect the tax rate because the interest thereon and the principal thereof are paid from earnings of the department and it gives the Department the nec- essary working capital, the repayment of which is spread over a period of twenty years or $1,000 per year.
It is the intention of the Board to hold its Depreciation Fund in reserve to pay part of the cost of replacing small gas mains with mains of adequate size to properly serve the townspeople.
194
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The Commission wish at this time to express their appreciation of the faithful and valuable services rendered to the department over a period of more than eight years by the late John M. Cameron who pas- sed away on October 27, 1924, and they feel that it is fitting to publish herewith a letter written to Mrs. Cameron.
Dear Mrs. Cameron :
October 30, 1924.
It was with deep regret and sincere sorrow that the Wakefield Muni- cipal Light Board learned of the sudden and untimely death of your honored husband, Mr. John M. Cameron, on Monday, October 27, 1924.
As memebr of our board for many years, and as a former chairman, Mr. Cameron had won the respect, admiration and love of his associates and all the employees of the department, both at the office and at the plant. Mr. Cameron's interest in the department, and his devotion to the welfare of Wakefield for so many years, gained for him a conspic- uous place in the municipal, civic, social and fraternal life of the town of his adoption. His passing away is universally deplored by our towns- people.
The members of the Municipal Light Board will long cherish the memories of the many pleasant meetings they have had together, at which Mr. Cameron was invariably present to give them the benefit of his long experience and wise counsel.
With sincere sympathy for yourself and family, I am,
Sincerely yours,
A. STANLEY NORTH, Secretary. Wakefield Municipal Light Board. MARCUS BEEBE, 2nd, Chairman A. STANLEY NORTH, Secretary CURTIS L. SOPHER
