MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL
Thursday June z, 1855
Cost of School Construction
Low, Norris Tells Sentinel

In reply to the SENTINEL
editorial of last week, question
ing whether all possible econ
omies were being made in school,
construction, Superintendent For
hes Norris submitted the 1854
report of the Advisory Commit
tee on School Construction.
This was a committee formed
by joint resolution of the County
Council and the Board of Educa-
ton on March 10, 1858. Headed
by David Soul of Silver Spring,
its membership was drawn from
a wide variety of activities -
builders, bankers, farmers,
housewives, government en-
ployees and other laymen.
After years study, the com
mittee's general conclusion was
that in the seven-year period,
1898, Montgomery County did
"a satisfactory job Of meeting
its abnormal schoolhouse con.
Struction needs with commend.
able economy of public funds
the county taxpayer has been
getting his full dollars worth
out of school construction, and
there are few, if any, frills and
extravagances in the new
schools"
In an actual cost comparison
with other counties of its size
and the District of Columbia,
Montgomery County stands the
lowest whether on a per square
foot, per pupil or per instruction
al room basis. When costs per
square foot were rising in the
other areas, construction costs in
Montgomery dropped and have
continued to do so.
One point that the committee
made is that there have been in.
stances of false economy, where
initial savings have led to dis
proportionate maintenance costs.
DR.. Norris maintained that this
still holds true. that some of our
newer schools have maintenance
repairs in a three-year period
instead of a natural expectancy
of at least five years. This
means poor economy in the long
run.
Specific suggestions for cut.
