Report of Conllnittee on New Grade
School
The undersigned Committee, appointed under vote passed
by the Town on March 15th, 1927, to carry into effect the
recommendations of the Committee on School Buildings for
the construction of a new eight-room school building, submit
the following report of progress:
At its first meeting the Committee voted to employ as
architects, the firm of Brainerd & Leeds, which firm had sup
plied the Committee on School Buildings with the detailed
information and sketches upon which its report as to the new
building was based, and from which that Committee had de
termined that the new building could be constructed and
equipped within the appropriation recommended. Mr. George
E. Dorman was the architect in charge of the work.
Cite: Your Committee acquired for the Town the lot
known as the Ericson lot, and the land known as the Kelly
land, as mentioned in the report of the Committee on School
Buildings, for the sum of $125.00 and $687.50 respectively,
as hereinafter set forth. Your Committee was unable to come
to any agreement with the owners of the property on the
northerly side of the location , and acting under vote of the
Town, a strip of land thirty feet in width and about two hun
dred feet in depth was taken by right of eminent domain .
These parcels , together with the land previously owned by the
Town , have an area of about three acres , sufficiently large, in
the opinion of the Committee, for future expansion or play
ground purposes.
After consultation with the architect the Committee
deemed it advisable to ask for proposals for the major part of
the work under four headings, and accordingly an advertise
ment was prepared and published, asking for bids on the fol
lowing :
79TOWN OF HOPKINTON
1. General construction of building.
2. Heating.
3. Plumbing.
4. Electrical work.
Seventeen proposals were received on the general con
struction, seventeen on the heating work , nine on the plumb
ing work, and five on the electrical work. At a meeting held
on the 7th of May, it was voted to request the following bid
ders to execute contracts and furnish bonds as specified:

Architect's fee , 6 70 on contract prices,
estimated at . . ..... .. . ... ...... .. . 3,718.74
Total . .. . .. . . .. .. .......... .. . .. . $65 ,697 .74
Your Committee, having a balance of only $5,302.26 after
deducting the above sum from its appropriation of $71 ,000.00 ,
and feeling very strongly that under no circumstances should
the amount previously recommended be exceeded, determined
to procee d on a sort of a budget basis, and so divided its ap
propriation in the following manner, the actual cost of the site
to be la ter provided by the Town in accordance with the report
of the Committee on School Buildings:

ware be paid , and the balance be carried to the credit of the
Committee.

without the danger of . burning pieces being carried out by the
draft, thus eliminating the purchase of a waste paper burner,
cost of which was given to the Committee as about $125.00.
EXTRA NO.2. Additional Foundation. The nature of
the soil on the North side of the building was such that it
seemed necessary to the contractor, and to the architect, to
increase the foundation above that originally figured in order
to prevent future settling and damage to the building. The
work was authorized by your Committee, and the above sum
was paid therefor.
81TOWN OF HOPKINTON
EXTRA No.3. Fire-proof Stairway. The cost of a play
room, as given to the Committee on School Buildings, was
$3 ,000.00 in addition to the $71,000 .00 mentioned above . Be
ing limited as to funds , your Committee at the outset decided
not to have the playroom, but as the work progressed, and it
became apparent that it was not intended to excavate that
portion of the cellar, but to close it off with a solid wall, it
seemed wise to your Committee to have the excavating done
with the rest rather than later after the erection of the build
ing, at which time the cost would, of course be much higher.
Acco rd ingly, it was done, and the room finished as a playroom.
It the n became necessary to have the stairway fire-proofed to
meet the building requi.rements, and this was done.
Your Committee has, therefore, been able to provide the
playroom for the children without exceeding the appropria
tion, and at a cost of about one-fourth of the original estimate.

Co ntracts for plumbing and heating were originally given
to E dw ard C. Viner of Worcester, Mass. As the building pro
gressed, Mr. Viner failed to meet the requirements of the Com
mittee in advancing his work and his contracts were finally ter
minated, by notice sent to him. Subsequently, after confer
ences with his representatives , with counsel, representatives of
the creditors of Mr. Viner, and others, and upon assurance
that the resources of the creditors would be available to Viner
for the completion of this job, the Committee decided to permit
him t o complete the work as required in the original contracts
82 TOWN OF HOPKINTON
for the price specified therein, a new bond, however, to be
furnished to the Committee for the Town. He failed again to
meet our requirements, was finally petitioned into bankruptcy,
and his right to proceed with the contracts was at an end. A
conference was again held with the creditors, attorneys, repre
sentatives of bonding company and architect and the contract
to complete the plumbing and heating was given to Thomas F.
Riley for the sum of $6,395.00, he being the lowest bidder.
This sum, together with expenses caused by Viner's default,
was all paid out of the original contract price, without any loss
to the town, and the balance, subject to a slight credit of $59.19,
paid to the Trustees in Bankruptcy of the Edward C. Viner
estate.

EXTRA No.1. This contract was originally given to F. W.
Meserve at the time bids were opened, but upon preparation
of contracts, he declined to execute the same, alleging that he
had been mistaken, through no fault of his own, as to the speci
fications and that it would be impossible for him to do the
work required for the sum he had specified . Upon his refusal
to proceed , the contract was awarded to Edwin C. Lewis, Inc.,
who was next to the lowest bidder (Meserve) at the time the
bids were opened , the bids having in the meantime been made
public.
EXTRA No.2. Our playroom having been added to the
building after the specifications had been prepared and bids
called for, at which time the plans and specifications had been
submitted to the representatives of the Commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts and passed as complying with the law in all respects,
we were then required to add a fire alarm at an expense of

agreed that he should be paid the usual price of 6 % on the
total cost of work done under his direction , plus actual travel
ing expenses , etc. Later in the year the matter of expense and

compensation was taken up and it was then agreed that the
total commission should be fixed in the sum of $3,914.82
E xpenses to that date were. . . . . . . . . . $ 120.63
$4,035.45
It was further agreed in view of the fact that the Com

for expenses would be regularly submitted , but that no pay
ment was to be made in the event that the Committee deemed
it inadv isable to do so, the matter being left entirely to the
discretion and judgment of the Committee. Traveling expenses
of $40 .9 6 were subsequently paid by the Committee.

No inside painting has as yet been done, as the Committee
had been advised to delay this work until the building had
thoroughly dried out. Your Committee has, however , adver
tised for bids for doing this work and has awarded the contract
TmVN OF HOPKINTON 87
for painting and for filling cracks in the plaster, if desired, for
the s um of $245.00. Your Committee has further employed
the architect to supervise this work at an agreed compensation
of $10.00, making a total of $255.00, leaving our financial con

Except as above set forth, your Committee has no knowl
edge of any outstanding obligations. The following claims
have, however, been made upon your Committee.
1. Claim of Thomas A. Cassidy, for coal, $28.00. Pay
ment of this sum was asked by Mr. Cassidy, coal being used "yhim in heating the building . It appeared to your Commit
tee, a nd also to the architect, that the coal had been used dur
Ing the pe riod when Mr. Cassidy was obliged to furnish the
temporary heat under his contract and we , therefore, declined
t o make thi s payment.
2. Thomas A. Cassidy, for labor and material, $101.48.
This labor and material were furnished in the construction of
boiler foundation and a foundation in the fan room . These
found ations were included in the specifications of the heating
contract and Mr. Viner was obligated, under his contract, to
furnish same to the Town. The labor and material furnished
by Mr. Cassidy were under an agreement made between him
and Mr. Viner, to which the Town was not in any way a party,
and a s payment for this construction was included in the pay
ments which we have made under the heating and plumbing
contracts, we have declined to make this payment as requested.
3 . Sturtevant Company, for material, $365.50. This
claim was for material furnished and used in the heating and
ventil ating work , and was furnished to Mr. Viner under an
88 TOWN OF HOPKlJ.'ITON
agreement between him and the Sturtevant Company, to which
the Town was not in any way a party, Mr. Viner being ob
ligated under his contract with the Town to furnish the mate
rial. As payment for this material was included in our pay
ments under the plumbing and heating contracts, we have de
clined to make this payment as requested.
Apart from these claims, liability for which your Committee
denies, and upon two of which suits are now pending, and the
matters above mentioned, painting and small balance unpaid
on the general contract, your Committee believes that all claims
have been satisfied in full. It was the intention of the Com
mittee to make no report until such time as a final report could
be submitted , but as the matter was growing old, it was the
opinion of the Committee that the citizens should have a de
tailed report on the work to date, leaving the small outstanding
matters as the subject for a final report at some future time .
We therefore respectfully submit the foregoing as a report
of our progress to date.
Respectfully submitted,

During the past year the Board of Public Welfare assisted
four families whose settlements were in Boston, Milford, West
boro and Worcester, respectively.
There were four State mother's aid cases cared for during
the year.
Our town had seven direct town charges and one tempo
rary aid case.
During the year we paid two bills, one to the City of Law
rence for $35 .00 and one to the City of Boston. for $67.51.
These bills were contracted in 1926, but after proper investiga
tion, the settlements in both cases were proven to be in our
town ; therefore, they were paid out of the 1928 appropriation.
The outstanding bills are about $150.00.
I would recommend an appropriation of $1,200.00 for the
ensuing year.

homemakers ' groups this past year. Group meetings were
conducted in the Town Hall. Mrs. Herbert E. Warren , and
Mrs. Eldredge Mahoney served as Leaders. A series of five
Home Improvement meetings were held in each of these com
mumtles. As a result , homemakers have reported that many
improvements in kitchens have been made. The Nutrition
Program consisted of a series of four meetings . The home
makers report that their meal planning problems have been
simplified. The homemakers in this unit have passed on what
they have learned to sixty others who could not attend the
meetings . This fall this unit is carrying on a Clothing pro
gram of four meetings to discuss Line and Design in Dress,
and short-cuts in -Garment Finishes.

The assessors are pleased to report a reduction in the tax
rate again for 1928.
We were unable to have a valuation list printed this year
as the amount appropriated, two hundred and fifty dollars, for
that purpose was insufficient. We feel that the tax payers
should have a valuation book, but in view of the fact that the
valuation list for 192 8 would have to contain at least fourteen
pages more than the list for 1923 contained, also the increased
cost of printing, we found that the list could not be printed
for two hundred and fifty dollars,.and we have no authority to
have the work done , since we know that the appropriation for
the purpose would be exceeded. We are informed , however,
that there is a provision in the proposed By-laws for having a
valuation list printed in every fifth year, and if this provision is
adopted by the Town a sufficient amount will be appropriated
and you will have the valuation list regularly.
The excise tax on registered motor vehicles for the priv-
TOWN OF HOPKINTON
ilege of operating such vehicles upon the highways, and in
place of the local personal property tax upon such vehicles ,
known as Chapter 60A of the General Laws , and enacted un
der Chapter 379 , Acts of 1928 , was effective January 1,1929.
The full text of the law is too long to be printed here, but we
will mention the chief features of the motor vehicle excise tax.
Every motor vehicle registered , and customarily kept in
Massachusetts is subject to an excise tax , at a rate established
by the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation , as being
the a verage tax rate of all the cities and towns of the State,
in the city or town where the vehicle is principally garaged.
This tax is for the use of the highways, and is in place of the
personal property tax on the vehicle. The personal property
tax is applicable to motor vehicles not registered in Massachu
setts, if on hand April 1 st.
The information g iven on the registration application
blank will determine the amount of the tax, and the city or
town which will make, and submit a bill from the information
contained on the registration blank.
The first tax to be assessed is for the calendar year 1929 ,
and will be at the rate of $29.65 per $1000, based on values
not to exceed the following:
Year of
Manufacture 90 %, of Manufacturers ' list price
2nd year 60 % of Manufacturers' list price
3rd year 40 0/0 of Manufacturers' list price
4tlf year 25 0/0 of Manufacturers' list price
5th year and later 10 ~~} of Manufacturers' list price
On vehicles registered between January 1st and June 30th,
inclusive , the full tax shall be placed ; on vehicles registered
after June 30th and before October 1st the tax is reduced by
one-half ; and on vehicles registered after October 1 st , the tax
is reduced by three-quarters.
A change of ownership or registration of a motor vehicl e
in any year does not impose any additional tax on a motor
vehicle already assessed in that year, upon application , on the
130 131 TOWN OF HOPKINTON
excise to which the vehicle has been subjected for such portion
of the year as remains after the vehicle has been given to a
licensed dealer or next owner. A bill will be rendered for each
re-registration, unless a receipted tax bill of the previous owner
has been shown to the assessors before a tax shall have been
assessed to the second owner.
The assessors have the authority to abate a second tax
assessment upon receipt of positive evidence that the assess
ment to a previous owner has been paid, and no abatement
asked for or granted. Claims for abatement must be made
within 60 days from the date oj the tax biU.
Appeal may be made from the decisions of the assessors
to the County Commissioners or to the Superior Court.
The second owner to register a vehicle will have to pay
the full excise tax from the date of his registration unless he
can show the receipted excise tax bill of the former owner for
that particular vehicle , and that no abatement has been asked
for or granted.
Any corrections or errors must be made through the Reg
istry of Motor Vehicles, as all records start from the applica
tion, and no corrections can be made by the Assessors.
As in the case of all new laws, changes may become neces
sary from time to time, also additional regulations may be
made by the Commissioner of Corporations and taxation.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citiz ens of Hopkinton:
The School Committee's report and recommendations are
herewith submitted .
The committee finds that the amount which will be neces
sary for the support of schools during the present year will be
somewhat larger than that appropriated last year.
This will be necessary becau se two teachers are needed in
grade seven, where there are sixty-two pupils; and money will
be necessary not only for teacher 's salary, but also for equip
ment , and larger desks for some of the pupils.
Some new chairs are also needed for the recitation rooms
in the High School building.
The amount estimated as necessary for the present year is
$39,910.00. .
The following list will show estimates for this year's ex
penditures in comparison with last year.

159 TOWN OF HOPKINTON
Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To th e School Committee and Ci tiz en s of th e
Town of Hopkinton:
Herewith I submit my twelfth annual report, the 39th in
the series of Superintendent's reports.
The financial report is for the year ending December 31,
1928 , while the school statistics are for the school year ending
June 30 , 1928.
SCHOOLS-AN ASSET
From almost the earliest days here in Massachusetts, edu
cation has been considered essential for the well-being and
profit of both the individual and the State. While the school
is not the only agency of education, it is its most effective and
important single factor, so important in the passing on of the
"torch" of human progress , that we do well to count the school
as one of our sacred institutions. Our schools are rightly held
in such veneration that it is only the most selfish and designing
that will not give them his whole-hearted support. To the ex
tent that a nation or state supports its schools and education,
to the same extent do we find a people both materially and
morally advanced . The opportunity for our free schooling
has been one of the chief magnets drawing oppressed peoples
from all over the globe to our shores, for these people well
knew that with education their children could aspire to a posi
tion which they-the parents-{:ould not hope to attain. Nor, in
the main , have these parents been disappointed in their ex
pectations of the schools. Even as the school has proved its
worth to him that has the will to make use of it, so has it
TOWN OF HOPKINTON
proved its worth to the State in its training of workers and
citizens. With schools and schooling recognized as of such
value, securing of good teachers and teaching is of prime im
portance. With better salaries paid teachers, recently, there
have been greater numbers of young people preparing for teach
ing as a life profession. Thus towns have been given a wider
selection in filling their vacancies so that with judicious choos
ing better teachers and teaching are secured. Through the
working of the State law, whereby the State shares with the
small towns in paying and raising teachers' salaries-very
nearly up to our maximum salary-the smaller and poorer
towns are enabled to pay and secure as good beginning te a ch
ers as the larger towns. While our salary schedule rarely
allows us to draw experienced teachers from other towns , by
careful selection we have had some very good quality inex
perienced teachers that have served with us a number of
years, growing in power and experience. It is a pleasure to
feel that we have had some part in guiding them on their way.
During 1928 , four of our teaching force that have been with
us for a longer or shorter period ] moved to towns paying larger
salaries . The opening of school in September found Miss Har
rington of the High School teaching in the Webster High School
and Miss Ballou of Grade Seven teaching in Newton. Their
places were taken by Hazel Crockett and Lois Webber ; grad
uates of Radcliffe College and Framingham Normal respective
ly. In November we lost Mr. Hood, our High School Prin
cipal, to Wilmington ] and our sloyd teacher] Mr. McGee , to
Boston . For these positions we secured O. Raymond Garland ,
formerly Principal at Brookfield High, for our High School ,
and Arthur Cox as the new sloyd teacher. All our good teach
ers we know will continue their good work wherever they may
be, while those newly entering upon the work here are resolved
that there shall be no lessening of the quality of the work.
In the work in the new building-for which , on all sides ,
we hear expressions of gratification for a long-felt want-the
large fifth grade of last year is now a still larger sixth grade
of some sixty members. For the present school year we have
160
161
TOWN OF HOPKlJ."lTON
followed the same practice as last year, with a Normal School
trainer in charge of a section of twenty-some of these pupils
in the southwest room for a month. The next month the new
trainer has another sixth grade section of the same size, the
work done by the trainer being parallel with the work done
by Miss Shaughnessey for that month with the other two sec
tions . While this work has been carried on quite successfully
in this fashion , while all of the grade is in the one building,
next year when this grade would, in part , go to the High School
building, it will be quite necessary to employ an additional
elementary teacher to have charge of the section of Grade
Seven which must be housed at the new school. This will
require a greater salary grant.
While discussing the present sixth grade, it may be to the
point to note that at least by the time this class enters High
School-September, 1931 -the High School will have increased
to such an extent that an additional teacher will be required
for the extra work required there. In this connection , in view
of the increasing supply of qualified teacher-coaches, it might
be desirable that the added teacher be a man qualified to carry
on the work of the extra classes and also to coach the athletic
teams. There are advantages in having the coach directly
connected with the work of the High School.
Before bringing this report to a close, the writer is happy
to record two rather unrelated events:
The first award of the Hopkinton Woman 's Club Scholar
, ship; and the redecorating of the interior of the High School
building. The Hopkinton Woman's Club scholarship , to be
granted to a graduate of Hopkinton High School pursuing some
degree granting course at a college or similar institution , the
award to be on a basis of need , scholarship and character,
was won by Annie Gray, who entered Boston University in
September , 1928. We believe these scholarship awards will
stimulate the school pupils in their school work-school work
adapted to the needs of the pupils is the primary purpose of
a school.
The interior of the High School has been greatly improved
TOWN OF HOPKINTON
by the redecorating. Not having been done over since the
building was erected in 1894, there was certainly need of fresh
ening walls and ceilings. The building is cleaner, lighter and
more sanitary.
In closing , I wish to call attention to the slowly growing
school population in Hopkinton. These, our own children,
are worth our thought and attention and will prove worthy of
our care and effort.
Respectfully submitted,
W. B. LYMAN,
S upe1'intendent of Schools.

Report of High School Principal
January 9, 1929.
Mr. W. B. Lyman,
Supt. of Schools
Hopkinton, Mass.
Dear Mr. Lyman:-I have the honor of submitting to you
a few words in regard to Hopkinton High School.
During the short time that I have been here, I have been
given fine co-operation and support by pupils and teachers,
and know I shall enjoy working with them.
I think that, on the whole, the attitude of the pupils to
ward their work is good, but as is usually the case, improve
ment is possible with some individuals.
The enrollment this year is 95, divided as follows: seniors,
15; juniors, 15; sophomores, 28; freshmen, 37. The large
freshman class has left the enrollment nearly that of last year.
The largest class in the history of the school was grad
uated last June, 27 in number. It was a class that had been
prominent for four years for its various activities.
The chief opportunity for criticism lies, I believe, in the
facilities for laboratory work. I have been told that it is prac
tically impossible to use the laboratory in the winter time. This
is a serious handicap, for class and laboratory work should
correlate closely. I feel that the laboratory is not in keeping
with the rest of the building.
I think that the scholarship fund, established by the
Woman's Club, is the finest thing that could be done by an
organization for the school. It shows a keen interest in the
school and the welfare of its graduates.
In closing, may I express my thanks to you for your advice
and aid.
Respectfully submitted,
O. RAYMOND GARLAND,
Principal.
