— e ~ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1928, 2 "WAYOR 10 APPOINT | NEW COMMITTEE ON H. 5. INVESTIGATION (Continued from First Page) mayor said: “'As to the condition of the pres- ent high school you found that it was badly in need of repairs in spite of the fact that the school depart- ment's budget contained an appro- priation of 340,500 for repairs this vear and at the July meeting of the c>mmon council a special appropria- tion amounting to $22.817 and the laying of a tax of one fifth of a mill to cover additional repairs was voted.” The mayor's answer is as follows; “Mr. George A. Quigley, Chair- man Special Committee on School Accommodations. “Dear Sir:—Referring to the re- port of your committee to me as mayor of the city under date of Aug- ust 21, I herewith submit,to you my acknowledgment and deep apprecia- tion of the assistance you have ren- dered me and to our city, vour sincere efforts and labor in an ndeavor to arrive at a solution of the difficulties now confronting us in the form of improved school ac- commodations for the children of our city and. more specifically, the | school bond issue outstanding to be through | of the fact that the school depait- ment's budget contained an appro- priation of $40,500 for repairs this year and at the July meeting of tne common council a special priation amounting to the laying of a tax of one-fifth of a mill to cover additional repairs was voted. “Your report shows the present $3.402,000 and the proposal to spend $540,000 for the senior high school addition recommended by the school board. Because of existing condi- |tions in some of the elementary |schools and the continuance of the portable schoolhouses which are not the best method of caring for our children and the approximate need of 10 new school rooms per year, we must without a doubt spend another $1,000,000 within a very short time. “Such expenditures added to our | present bond issue and indebtedness |would bring our school debt to ap- proximately $5.000,000. “At all times we must consider the complete financial status of our |city and the burden of taxation upon {our people, and, therefore. bear in {mind other and all indebtedness the ity now bears or must assume. We must consider, in addition to the aforesaid debt, what we have at | Present in the form of sewers, waters and so forth amounting to approxi- mately § 00,000, to be spent for water extension purposes and improvements $1,225,- 000. The storm sewer system will =0on require rebuilding and other necessary improvements, costing in the neighborhood of $2,0100,000. #ccommodations for senior high chool purposes which have brought to my attention by hool hoard “While your committee by ma- jority vote advise that the school board be authorized to proceed’with | ihe high school addition, yet, from | the tenor of the report, I feel that the committee made the recom- endation reluctantly. “In accordance with the opinion of some of the members of vour committee T feel that we should not °t hastily in arriving at a definite cision on the building program ibmitted by the school board until | turther investigation has been made “Until your committee made its 1eport, the impression prevailed that. | the school hoard intended the pro- posed addition solely for senior high | ~hool uses as a means of relicving ngestion, yet it appears from \our committee’s report that, of the 7 rooms recommended to be built, only nine would be used for senior | 1igh school pupils. Fourteen of ihese rooms would be occupied by unior high school pupils, and four vould be vacant. You also have found that the increase in the senior | high school attendance during vears of 1025 and 1926 was 85, n 1926 and 1927 was §6. 'nding In your investigation was that 46 of our senior high school pupils are from Newington.
