Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
At No. 4, roofs of house and shed shingled in part and rooms whitewashed.
At No. 5, one side of roof shingled, plastering repaired, room papered and whitewashed.
The blackboards in nearly all the schools have received attention.
This year the buildings at Nos. 3 and 5 ought to be painted and the other side of roofs shingled.
The yards at the High School and at No. 5 must be fenced, and at No. 1 Primary the fence should be repaired.
The floors at Nos. 4 and 5 are very poor and at No. 2 the floor will need repairing.
The underpinning of many of our buildings will need to be looked after soon and some of the rooms need new seats. We do not expect that all of this work can be done in one year.
APPROPRIATIONS.
Last year the sum of our appropriations for schools and trans- portation was $2,475. Our unexpended balance from 1899 was $732.41, which gave us $3,207.41, besides our usual funds. This year our unexpended balance is only $290.68. In order to have the same length of school year, which surely ought not to be short- ened, the committee must recommend $2,600. You are doubtless aware that the expense of fuel and janitor services at the new building is more than we have been accustomed to pay.
Opening more schools has called for an additional outlay for incidentals, consequently we have overdrawn this account. Tak- ing the amount overdrawn into consideration the committee would recommend for the present year $400.
Believing it never economy to neglect repairs on buildings and considering expense of fencing two school yards, the committee would recommend for this appropriation the ensuing year, $325.
The committee would also recommend that the town raise the sum of $269.66 to balance the New Schoolhouse account.
This year the school committee will be in session monthly at the C'entre on the evening previous to the meeting of the Selectmen, to approve bills and consider any other business relating to the schools.
