BIDS FOR MANCHESTER 
PRIMARY SCHOOL OPENED. 
Roberts & Hoare Lowest Bidders, $28,178— 
More Money Needed to Carry Out 
the Plans of the Committee. 
The committee in charge of the 
construction of Manchester’s new 
primary schoo] building met Tuesday 
evening and opened the bids for the 
new building. Roberts & Hoare were 
the lowest bidders, their figures being 
$28,178. This does not include heat- 
ing, which is given as $3,288, or the 
architects’ commission of 5%, which 
will bring the total cost up to $33,039. 
As the town has appropriated only 
$30,000 for this work, it will be neces- 
sary to obtain more money, and the 
committee have asked for an additional 
$3,500, which will allow a surplus of 
about $160 to cover incidental ex- 
penses. 
_ The plans were not ready for the 
committee till Wednesday of last 
week, when a meeting was held and it 
was decided to ask for bids from three 
local builders, to be in by Tuesday 
evening of this week at 6 o’clock. 
The bids submitted were: Roberts & 
Hoare, $28,178; F. A. P. Killan & 
Son, $28,663.35 ; Chester L. Crafts, 
$28,396. 
It is evident from the figures that 
the building cannot be constructed 
according to the plans, which are 
practically the same as originally pre- 
sented to the town, within the appro- 
priation, and the only course to pursue 
is to call a special town meeting and 
vote the additional amount necessary. 
It is understood the chief obstacle 
in the way is the foundation, excavat- 
ing and grading, which was figured at 
almost $7,000, this, with the heating, 
bringing the cost up to $10,000. 
The plans call for a four-room build- 
ing, with everything of the best mate- 
rial for the purpose. The sanitary 
arrangement has been looked after, 
especially. Unless there is a hitch in 
the proceedings, it is thought by the 
committee the building will be ready 
for occupancy for the winter term. 
According to the plans there will be 
a large room on the second floor that 
would finish 32x46 feet, and the com- 
mittee ask for an additional appropria- 
tion of $500 to finish this. The room 
would make a splendid assembly hall, 
something needed in all the schools in 
town. This room, no doubt, can be fin- 
ished several hundred dollars cheaper 
during construction than after the 
building is completed. 
It is interesting to note that the 
total figure for the cost of the building 
—$33,039—is approximately the same 
as originally given in Mr. Lane’s 
recommendations, which were for 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
$33,785, but which the appropriation 
committee cut down to $30,000. 
It is estimated the cost of furnishing 
the building will be $300, and the 
school committee are calling for $300 
to cover this. 
Special Town Meeting. 
A special town meeting has been 
called by the Manchester board of 
selectmen for Monday evening, July 
31, to make further appropriations for 
the construction of the new primary 
school building. The warrant calls 
for the following : 
“ To see if the town will appropriate 
the sum of $3,500 in addition to the 
sum of $30,000 appropriated at the 
annual meeting for the construction 
of a new primary school building. 
‘‘To see if the town will appropriate 
the sum of $500 for the finishing of a 
large room on the second floor of the 
new school building. 
‘To seeif the town will appropriate 
the sum of $300 for the furnishing of 
the new primary schoo] building.”
