Re: Amityville (V6 Babylon)

Mr Lewis Inglee, Architect
194 Broadway
Amityville, N.Y.

Dear Mr Inglee:

Immediately following the receipt of your letter under date of November 18th, which your Mr Hurley handed to me in New York City on that date, we advised your Mr Hurley that we would not approve a building plan which provided for a further extension of your present old crude building.

I have just concluded a conference with Mr Hurley and our Consulting Architect, Mr Coons, on the study of a new grade unit so planned and so located on your lot as to constitute a part of a large central plant which central plant shall contain your present high school as a north wing and the present proposed grade unit as a south wing and a future addition which will constitute the central portion and the central feature of a magnificent school building.

This study is a very excellent one and one which I am sure will appeal to the school patrons in the Amityville School District once it is presented to them in sufficient detail to enable them to see the merits of the complete plan.

Certain recommendations affecting the detailed arrangement of the proposed grade unit have been made which in our opinion naturally improve the detail of your present study. As a project the plan as proposed has the

Mr. Lewis Inglis ---- 2

commendable characteristics of requiring that the district build at this time a building of minimum size to provide sufficient pupil stations to meet the immediate needs of the district by leaving to the future the opportunity to make further extensions as needed. While I should very much have preferred that the district plan to build in connection with the proposed unit an auditorium of such size as to meet both the present and future auditorium needs of the district I shall be pleased to recommend that the grade unit be approved without requiring that such auditorium needs be made in the present unit of construction if this is the wish of the Board of Education and the electors in this district. It seems fair that this be done since the rate of growth in your district is such that within a comparatively short time it will be necessary to further extend the school plant and at that time the auditorium needs of the district can be taken care of.

There is one further suggestion that I believe is worthy of the very serious consideration of the Amityville Board of Education and the electors in this District. The present time the old grade building is provided with extremely poor heating and ventilating systems. The high school is taken care of by a separate heating system. When this new grade unit is built it will be necessary to take care of it with still another separate heating system. We would recommend that you plan and include in the proposed grade building accommodations for a central heating plant that can readily be extended later on to serve the needs of all of the buildings constructed on the present site and further that the hostess plant that is now proposed be made to serve immediately the old grade building that is now in use and the grade building which is now proposed. I am pleased to advise on this point however that if the Board of Education believes that it is best to continue for the time being the unsatisfactory system in use in the old building and to provide in the new grade building only for the needs of the new unit at this time we shall be pleased to approve this particular plan upon the request of the Board of Education.

the furnishing and installation of automatic control valves
in the High School building at a later date.

The Architect stated that alternates had been provided
for in case the cost of the project was more than the District

Special Meeting of the Board of Education held at the High School
on Monday, July 22, 1935, at 8 o'clock p. m., pursuant to notice
for the purpose of receiving bids for the installation of an oil
burner system.

The meeting was called to order by Clinton Ingle, President.

Present:
Mr. Clinton Ingle, President.
Mr. Christian Haab,
"Theodore F. Artell, Jr.,
Hilford H. Ketcham,
Mrs. Florence Hartman, Trustee.
Mr. C. R. Warren, Clerk.

Absent:
Mr. Willet F. Whitmore, Trustee.
Mr. R. A. Gardiner, Treasurer.

The following bids were deposited with the Clerk and read accordingly:

Fred M. R. Holmstedt (Johnson) $ 9,506.00
Charles A. Artzmann, Jr. (Simpler) 10,065.00
Preferred Equipment Co., Inc. (Bay) 10,466.00
Fred S. Robbins, Inc. (Petro) 11,300.00
Enterprise Engineering Co., Inc. (Enterprise) 0,953.00
Breuer Engineering Co., Inc. (Todd) 9,630.00

The Clerk announced that the bids of the Enterprise Engineering
Company, Inc., and the Breuer Engineering Co., Inc., were not
accompanied by certified checks as called for in the advertisement
for bids.

Mr. Artell moved and Mr. Haab seconded the motion that the bids
be referred to the Building and Grounds Committee for consideration
in conjunction with the Architect and Engineer and that the
ordering of the contract be deferred until a report with recommendations
is made by the Committee. This motion unanimously carried.

The President announced that the meeting would recess for about
one hour to permit the Building and Grounds Committee to go over
the proposals.

At 9:21 P. M., the President again called the meeting to order and
received a report from the Engineer favoring the acceptance of the
Enterprise bid. The Engineer reported that the burner was a very
successful one and that the bid being the lowest it was to the best
interest of the District to accept it. Mr. J. S. Kaplan of the
Preferred Equipment Company protested the recommendation for the
reason that the bid was not a formal one as a certified check did
not accompany the proposal as called for in the notice to bidders
and therefore should not receive consideration by the Board.
Mr. Malinsteed likewise protested the recommendation of the Engineer.

After some discussion the President announced that the meeting
would adjourn until Wednesday, July 24, 1935, at 8 o'clock p. m.,
to give the Building and Grounds Committee more time with the bids.

Any student who is absent an unreasonable amount of the remaining time or neglects to keep his studies up to passing rank shall be eliminated from the graduating class.

Principal's Office, May 6, 1926

I am here making the usual appeal to the Board of Education and to the parents of the members of the high school commencement class. I suppose it will be a case of "Ailing Flying in the Wilderness". The one thing the American people in its and rush will not brook is any limitation placed upon their spending money for pleasure and show. It is "thumbed down" for the man who stands in the way of their plethera of spending money.

Our young people have inherited this tendency from our generation and have gone 100% better. If our graduating class is not curbed, they will be likely to use Commencement as an opportunity for show, produced by a lavish expenditure. It gives the sweet girl graduate several fine opportunities for the expenditure of money:

1. The Washington trip
2. A fine new gown for Class Day
3. A fine new gown for Commencement
4. A fine new gown for the Reception
5. She may participate liberally in a high priced orchestra travelling a distance of A kindred union or $0, and several other opportunity.
6. She takes literally the advice of the Stratford bard, "Costly thy habit as thy purse can Buy".

Unless wholesome advice is offered to or, if necessary, a reasonable check is put upon the young people, it shall be likely to have a spirited contest of "Keeping up with the Joneses".

I believe to that large group of people who believe that such a Commencement is all wrong for a public school. It may be all right for a private institution or Lilliputian families. The public school is an institution primarily for people in moderate circumstances. The public school is an institution primarily for people in moderate circumstances. Nobody has the moral right to exclude the sons and daughters of any family from an account that will be dignified but plain and inexpensive Commencement. We stand for the dignified but plain and inexpensive Commencement. We stand for emphasis on intellectual attainment rather than on expensive superficial display.

In several towns boys and girls rent or make for themselves college cup and gown; in others, the girls place a limit on the expense of the material and then make their own gowns.

Trusting that Amityville may follow a reasonable course for June 1926, I remain

Very truly yours,

George A. Brown, Principal

JOHNS-MANVILLE
292 MADISON AVENUE AT 41ST STREET
NEW YORK
December 4, 1926.

Mr. L.H. Vogel, Chairman,
Building & Grounds Committee,
Board of Education,
122 Broadway,
Amityville, L.I.

Dear Sir

We understand from our representatives, who met you, together with other members of the board and Mr. L. Ingles, archt. at above school building, Thursday, December 2nd, that we have agreed to make repairs to the main roof. These will not only include the few air blisters in the roofing felt due to excessive distortion of the roof deck over which we have no control.

We beg to submit the following proposition for your consideration, which we understand you requested from our representatives and which is based on our actual costs both for materials and workmanship executed by our own men.

On the main roof only, over all sections which have shown cracks in the putty and which are indicated by repairs that have been made from time to time, we will apply a dry sheet of our Asbestos Roofing Felt, same to act as a lap joint to take care of any expansion and contraction in the future at these points. Over the entire area of this roof deck we will furnish and apply our 15 lb. Roofing Felt in two ply construction, mopped solidly to ema and finished with a hot top mopping of our Standard Roofing Asphalt.

Our cost for doing this work amounts to $707.00, and if favored with your order to proceed we will make an allowance of $51.00, which is our cost for executing repairs as mentioned above or $656.00.

Special Meeting of the Board of Education held on  
Thursday, September 15, 1927, at 8:25 P.M.  

Meeting called in order by the President, who stated  
the meeting would be confined to act upon the two  
propositions (Rate of Tuition and Report of Trans-  
portation) mentioned in the Secretary's notice of  
this meeting.  

The President stated that the Secretary was detained  
by business in the City and would be unable to attend.  
He thereupon suggested that Mr. R. A. Gardiner, Treas-  
urer act as Temporary Secretary.  

Moved, seconded and carried, that all business  
transacted at this meeting be considered the same as  
that transacted at any regular meeting.  

Letter dated September 16, 1927, of Rose & Paskins,  
Attorneys, 188 Broadway, New York, to the Board of  
Education, read as follows:  

"As I considered the form of contract submitted for  
opinion inapplicable to the work because it presupposes  
the employment of an architect, which I understand is  
not being done by the Board, and for the further reason  
that it failed to embody certain provisions which I  
consider advisable for the proper protection of the  
District, I have prepared a new form of contract in  
the form deemed sufficient by me for your proper  
protection, which I herewith submit.  

Yours very truly,  

L. S. Colt"  

Moved, seconded and carried, that the letter together  
with form of contract submitted for opinion be placed  
on file, and the new form of contract in triplicate be  
accepted and executed, also that the bill of Fifty  
($50.) Dollars, for legal services, be paid.  

Transportation Committee reports that it will award  
the bus contract for the remainder of the ensuing year  
to Rebecca Leigh.  

Moved, seconded and carried, that the tuition per  
student for non-residents be Fifty ($50.) Dollars per  
year, except where state pays Nothing.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
ASHVILLE, N.Y.

Tuition Received
in
Amityville Public Schools

Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grades - - - $15 plus cost of books
3rd, 4th and 5th grades - - - 20 = = = =
6th, 7th & 8th grades - - - 25 = = = =
High School - - - 100

1. To the amounts indicated above for the first eight grades about $40 per year should be added as State Money.

2. The amounts paid for books have usually ranged from $4 or $5 per pupil in the High School.

3. For the year 1926-27 the District received for high school pupils about $120 per pupil from the State and $50 from the pupils' home district.

4. In case of perfect attendance our District will receive
$72.72 for attendance
$50.00 per pupil from State
$0.00 per pupil from District

5. Individual pupils whose tuition is not paid by their home district might be charged $100 per year since in addition to that amount the State will pay $72.72 in case of perfect attendance.

6. It will be remembered that in my annual report I computed cost per pupil in the elementary school to be $135 per pupil and in the high school $186 per pupil. The cost of instruction per capita probably varies $20 from the first to the eighth grade.

7. The selling of books to non-resident pupils entails considerable trouble when all the clerical details are considered. An adequate tuition charge could justify the loan of books to the non-resident on the same plan as to our own pupils.

Mr. Arthur W. Ruff Supervising Principal Amityville, N. Y.

Dear Mr. Ruff:

Your letter of December 12th is received.

I do not understand that school property can be given over to a private individual or corporation for his or its own private uses. For instance, I find no authority under which a board of education may grant to an individual the use of a room or rooms in a school building during or after school hours for the purpose of enrolling such students as he may please and charging a tuition fee for their instruction. If this could be done then the school building could be rented for any private, commercial purpose.

In some cases, however, I find a number of students who have joined together and have asked permission of the board of education to use a room in the school building certain hours after school for the purpose of receiving instruction in music or in some other subject.

Page 488

Page 488

Transcription

Mr Arthur W. Ruff -2-

There seems to be authority for such use in subdivision 1 of section 455 of the Education Law. In our opinion there is a decided difference between granting the use to persons who wish to receive instruction and granting the use to a person who desires to give instruction for his own gain. I do not think that the latter can be justi- fied under any provision of the Education Law.

Where the board, itself, employs instructors they must be regularly licensed teachers in order to receive compensation from the public or from district funds.

Trusting I have made these distinctions clear to you, I am

Very truly yours

Please notify me of any violations of the law in this respect."

Regular Meeting of the Board of Education held at the High School on Thursday, July 3, 1930, at 8:00 o’clock P. M., pursuant to notice.

Present: Mr. Clinton Inglee, President. Mr. Louis Vogel, Herbert M. Case, Willet P. Whitmore, Mrs. Florence Hertman, Grace Burns, Trustees. Mr. C. R. Warren, Clerk.

Absent: Mr. Lawrence E. Colt, Trustee. Mr. R. A. Gardiner, Treasurer.

The minutes of the previous regular meeting read and on motion made, duly seconded and carried, it was voted that the resolution adopted theret fixing the salary of Lucille M. Robinson, School Nurse, at $2,100. per school year be charged to read $2,200. per school year and that such minutes be approved as read with the aforesaid correction.

Mr. Vogel reported that plans for the showers to the rear of the High School auditorium had been submitted to Albany and the State Department of Education had recommended certain changes and that such revised plans would bring the cost of the project up to about $29,000. Mr. Vogel stated that Architect Inglee was drawing up plans for showers over the coal bin and asked that the Board not award contract for the supplying of buckwheat coal at this meeting as the placing of showers over the coal bin would probably call for the installation of oil burners.

Pursuant to advertisements duly published in the local newspapers the following bids were received for supplying 125 gross tons of egg coal to the Grammar School Building and 150 gross tons of buckwheat coal to the High School Building:

Egg Coal Bid Buckwheat Coal Bid Wilbur F. Heinley $15.50 $ 7.40 Norman D. Heff 13.49 7.64 Nassau Coal Company, Inc. 15.40 8.95

On motion made, duly seconded and carried, it was voted that the order for 125 gross tons of egg coal be awarded to Wilbur F. Heinley and Norman D. Heff on a fifty-fifty basis.
