The reason for the increase in abatements is the legislature in 1948 liberalized the Veterans Exemption Laws to include more persons who could qualify for the exemption.
We recommend that provisions should be made for the preservation of the records of the Board of Assessors and new vaults should be provided for the storage of the same.
Provisions should be made to bring our plans and maps up to date.

City Council City of Newburyport
Gentlemen:
In compliance with the provisions as set forth in the City Solicitor's ordinance in the Revised Ordinances of the City of Newburyport-1937, I have to submit herewith my report of the Law Department activities for the year 1951. During the year 1950, there was an extraordinary amount of clairs against the City handled by the Law Department on account of the fact the insurance previously existing expired in the wear 1950 and that situation was the same in the year 1931. When the City of Newburyport, was insured against defects for personal injury or property damage, a person receiving oven a minor injury made claim against the City because it was felt that an insurance company would pay a small claim instead of bringing the case to court and since that time the same procedure has been resorted to by persons receiving minor injuries.
As City Solicitor, I have made rulings that the City was not responsible in many, many cases where persons claimed personal injuries and property damage on account of defects on our streets and on our sidewalks. More claims were denied that were paid. One of the major claims was from a Mrs. Raymond Adrich of Olive Street who received painful and serious injury to her arm and was incapacitated from her work for more than six months . I settled this claim for Six Hundred Dollars and it is my honest opinion if she had brought the case to court or retained the services of an attorney, the City would have had to pay Three Thousand Dollars. The case of Frances Murray vs. the City of Newburyport was the result of property damage to her house owned by her at the corner of California and Morrimac Streets. A bad limb had blown
69
Law Department
off from a tree onto the roof of her house and we were fortunato that this case was settled for a small amount namely, One Hundred and Fifty Dollars. In the case of the City vs. Doyle Advertising Company for rent at City Hall, after bringing suit I was able to collect One Hundred Dollars which was turned over to the City Treasurer. The case of the City of Haverhill vs. City of Newburyport was tried in the Superior Court and that was a suit wherein the City of Haverhill wanted the City of Newburyport to pay Four Hundred odd dollars for relief payments to a resident of Haverhill claiming citizenship in Newburyport. After trial in the Superior Court, it was agreed that the amount due was $99.00 which the City paid. The case of Marlin vs. City of Newburyport was tried in the Superior Court where damages ware asked for in the sum of Four Thousand Dollars. This case was the result of a fall allegedly sustained by Mrs. Marlin at the cafeteria in the High School. After a two day hearing, there was a decision in favor of the City in this case. Matters were heard before the Tax Appellate Board where I sopeared for the Board of Assessors. In at least one of them, there was a decision for the City. I appeared at svery meeting of the City Council with the exception of probably two and my non-attendance at those meetings was on account of illness. On account of the complex problems arising in the School Department, I had more than the usual amount of conferences with the Superintendent of Schools. There were more deeds drawn up by me during the year 1950 on account of the fact there were more sales by the Custodian on property at Plum Island. In the case of the City vs. Benjamin Checkoway which was tried during the vear 1251, a stipulation was signed by the defendant which means that the defendant will not in the future create a nuisance at property numbered 70 Federal Street. This case was the result of the defendant allowing goods of different kinds to be parked in the driveway of the property thereat creating not only a public nuisance but a fire menace.
Respectfully submitted, Fransiskellela T. Francis Kelleher-City Solicitor- City of Newburyport.
