REPORT OF SILVER LAKE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
January 2, 1940.
At the adjourned Annual Town Meeting held March 13, 1939 this Committee was appointed to supervise the construction and equipment of a schoolhouse in the Silver Lake District. The Committee makes the following interim report:
The erection of the building was conditional upon the purchase of a designated parcel of land belonging to the Metropolitan Ice Company, the authority to buy having been granted at the same meeting. Nego- tiations were promptly begun but because of delays incidental to se- curing releases and other matters, it was June second before this Committee was informed that a satisfactory deed had been executed and the construction of the building could proceed.
The Committee upon its appointment, communicated and held con- ferences with various architects and builders; sketches and plans sub- mitted were studied and compared.
Upon notification that the land had been purchased, the Committee having selected the plans suggested by Mr. Ernest G. Frizzell, a former resident of the Town, submitted plans and specifications to contractors in Wilmington and others who desired to be considered. Bids were opened and Mr. Chester T. Horton of this Town was awarded the con- tract. A General Contract was signed by Mr. Horton and the Com- mittee on June 27, 1939.
Construction was commenced the same day and proceeded without incident worthy of note. Members of the Committee made numerous inspections and followed the work closely. The Police and other Town Departments rendered all required assistance, for which the Committee tenders its thanks.
On Tuesday evening, September 5, 1939, appropriate dedication exercises were held before a large gathering of interested citizens. The keys of the building, which the Committee and the School author- ities designated "The Silver Lake School", were delivered to Mr. John
81
W. Hathaway, Chairman of the School Committee, so that the building would be ready for occupancy at the opening of the school term. The Building Committee, by its Chairman, notified the School authorities that it regretted the building and grounds were not complete to the last detail, as some outside work remained to be done in the Spring when weather conditions would permit.
The schoolhouse is a two-room building of wooden construction, seating seventy pupils and installed with the most modern heating, plumbing, lighting and ventilating equipment. It is so designed that two additional rooms may be conveniently added at minimum cost.
The Committee consulted the School authorities as occasion re- quired and believes all suggestions have been adopted. Pleasant re- lations existed between Committee, Contractor and Architect and mention should be made of the Silver Lake Betterment Association through whose efforts the appropriation for the land and building were obtained.
The financial report of the Committee may be found included in the report of the Town Accountant.
The Building Committee expects to make this report at the Annual Town Meeting to be held in March, 1940, requesting further time in which to complete the outside work.
