As I have stated earlier in this report, the situation in the elementary schools is far from desirable as far as housing is con- cerned, particularly as it interferes with classroom instruction. A wholly desirable instructional program can not be forth com- ing until we eliminate most of the multiple grades under one teacher, and this cannot be accomplished without new construc-

tion. While it is true that total school enrollment has not in- creased greatly in recent years, the factor of distribution of pupils in any given grade or school in part determines room as- signments and brings about grossly undesirable situations like that of five classes under one teacher, as was the case at Jeru- salem last year. Thus it is that in order to correct the situation at Jerusalem, we have increased the problem of adequate housing in the Center school and have left surplus space at Jerusalem. But should we return to the educational monstrosity of five grades under one teacher? In this day no town which has any _ pride at all can tolerate such benighted educational policy. Neither can the policy of "patch-up and make what you have do," be tolerated for another year when that policy forces to- gether in one room 60 pupils in grades 1 and 2 taught by two teachers as they now are at Center school. Then too, the School Committee has little control of a situation which causes an en- rollment of 46 pupils in grade 4 and only 25 in grade 5. The problem which confronts us can be solved only by securing extra space outside of present school buildings.


In building a Junior-Senior High School at the selected school site we can partially alleviate the unwarranted crowding of elementary schools, by transferring to the new school grade 7 now housed at Center and Sunset Avenue. Such a building, too, might well accommodate grade 6 if crowding in the elemen- tary schools became too severe. The fact that someday the 100 Raynham High School pupils may come as tuition pupils to West Bridgewater eliminates the possibility of waste space in "our building because of a fall in enrollment. Some architects are thoroughly versed in the principle of building unit buildings which means that a building may be built over a period of years by adding to original structure until the entire building is com- plete. Such a procedure at least can be undertaken very soon and probably will have to be to accommodate larger first grade


172


classes if pupils are not to be housed in the Town Hall and other less desirable places.


West Bridgewater must press forward as quickly as possible to bring into being the new building which is essential to the welfare of the Town's children. Plans for buildings cannot be drawn until the Town owns the site of land on which the build- ing is to be erected. Any possible Federal Funds will first be available to towns which have their plans complete. Plans in most towns, both North and South shore, are already completed for new school houses which the citizens of those towns believe they need. It is absolutely essential that all citizens, but par- ticularly the parents of the children now in school or who will be entering within the next 5 years, demand immediate and con- tinuing action for new school house construction. This means that proponents for new construction must attend every Town Meeting and follow civic government with close scrutiny and interest, if the opponents to long range planning, increased costs of Town government, and progressive modern schools are not to succeed in blocking these efforts to improve the welfare of the children.


FINANCIAL STRUCTURE


West Bridgewater's financial ability to support new school house construction was demonstrated in my report last year. A new idea which needs consideration and support by every citizen of West Bridgewater is found in the bill of the Massachusetts Teachers' Federation to provide increased State Aid for educa- tion. This bill will relieve the local property tax tremendously in this Town if it is passed by the current session of the legislature. West Bridgewater now receives approximately $7,000 reimburse- ment for what it spends for schools. Under the terms of the new bill West Bridgewater in the first year would receive $20,000, in the second year $40,000, and in the third year $60,000, plus


173


other money for home instruction and transportation. This money which would be given to the School Committee directly would more than cut in half the present appropriation necessary by the Town for the support of schools and would reduce the local tax rate in proportion. The State money would come from increased income tax or sales tax. If West Bridgewater were to maintain its present tax rate, three years from now without increasing the rate, we could raise $36,000 annually to help defray the cost of the new building. Property tax payers in West Bridgewater should support this legislation by getting the support of our local Representative and Senator.


I wish to express my appreciation to the teachers for their professional and cooperative attitude, to the School Com- mittee for their help and cooperation, and to the many parents for their understanding and help in matters pertaining to the schools.


Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR B. LORD, JR.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT


As with other communities, the cost of maintaining our ser- vices to the townspeople becomes greater. In spite of efficient management, nation-wide trends combine to increase our burden of support.


No fixed policy with regard to salaries of town employees has been followed. Increases have been recommended where the rates are inconsistent with cost of living or comparable pay scales.


Funds for highways continue high as we endeavor to make up the work lost through the war years. Since last year's work on North Elm Street could not be carried out, a double piece is con- templated for the coming year.


In the opinion of the Finance Committee, the funds specified in Article 10 should be taken from the general highway appropria- tion in the budget.


Street Lights have been recommended on highly traveled streets where vehicular and pedestrian traffic combine to make a condition of hazard.


A large proportion of increase in School appropriation is due to higher salaries for teachers, rendering their pay scale consistent with other towns.


In the opinion of the Finance Committee, the utilization of the Town Hall as a school classroom does not seem practical. The temporary decentralization of elementary grades is suggested.


The Finance Committee does not recommend Article 15 calling for the extension of the water main on West Street because of excessive cost and low income.


176


Last year, the Finance Committee suggested that the citizens give thought to the combining of the offices of Town Clerk, Treas- urer and Tax Collector into one office. Convinced of the increased efficiency of such a move, our suggestion is carried further in the form of a Warrant Article calling for committee investigation.


We recommend the appropriation of $5,000. to establish a stabilization fund and $5,000. to lower the tax rate from surplus funds available in the Treasury. This recommendation replaces that of other years to raise money for the reduction of tax rate alone. Lowered surplus makes the appropriation of any greater amount unwise.


If our recommendations are followed, a tax rate of $40.60 is anticipated. The increase over last year is near the average in- crease anticipated by comparable towns in the Commonwealth.


A table of estimates by departments, amounts recommended by this committee and report of recommendations on articles ap- pearing in the Town Warrant appear on the following pages.


We wish to thank all who have assisted us in our work this year.
