<br /> Under these articles mr . dames Stuart Smith, brought
<br /> forth , the Adams ►-- chool addition , giving the report of the
<br /> Committee appointed . ovemb © r 7 , 1930 , to investigate plans and
<br /> • figures for the school , which is as follows ;,
<br /> The matter of the Adams School has been discussed and
<br /> reported upon many times in town meeting and while there was a
<br /> definite vote of the town last November instructing this
<br /> Uommittee to bring in plans and specifications for an addition
<br /> tel the new Adams school , yet this Committee thinks it might be
<br /> well to review some of the reaso . s which led up to the 'Town vote .
<br /> The old Adams School has been in use off and on since
<br /> the eighteen fifties .
<br /> It was abandoned once by the Town as a school building ,
<br /> ant has been operated for the last few years over tree protest
<br /> of tree School Committee . The old building is not a proper one
<br /> for. children . It is badly ventilatea .The stairways are dangerous
<br /> in case of tire . The heating system is worn out . The toilet
<br /> facilities do not measure up to mpdern standards , and for what
<br /> we get out of it , it is expensive operate .
<br /> Hampering restrictions of State , fire and health laws
<br /> prevent desireable changes and alterations in this building
<br /> which the School Committee might have made were it allowed to
<br /> do so .
<br /> For these reasons , and for others which we will not
<br /> mention , this plant should be dropped out of the school system.
<br /> About a year ago , a planning committee reported that
<br /> new school tacilit ies for the ziast Village should taxa the form
<br /> of an addition to the so- called new Adams School which was
<br /> erected eighteen years ago , and the Committee made its re-
<br /> commendation to the Town tor several reasons , the chief ones
<br /> being , First , that the new Adane School was erected and designed
<br /> to take a future addition at less than normal cost . This save-
<br /> ingis chiefly in the heating plant .The boiler and chimney were
<br /> designed for an addition of about the size which we propose to
<br /> erect . The main corridors of the building were also laid out so
<br /> that it is obvious that the addition was to be made where this
<br /> Committee propoeea to make it .
<br /> Second , the Adams School was deemed the beEt location,
<br /> ever;;thing considered , that could ' be Lound and still give East
<br /> Village a school building which would be sufficient for at least
<br /> five years more .
