CITY SOLICITOR
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City Hall
Newburyport, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my annual report as City Solicitor for the year 1963.
During the year I drafted many contracts for the purchase of mat- erials and equipment by the various city agencies. In addition on numerous occasions I gave legal opinions to the Mayor, City Council and Department Heads, and prepared Ordinances and Resolutions for members of the City Council.
The Law Department processed all Workmen's Compensation claims con- cerning city employees and all injury claims regarding police and fire department personnel.
I investigated, evaluated and determined questions of liability in connection with claims against the City submitted by persons injured as a result of sidewalks and roadway defects, as well as property damage claims resulting from the operation of City owned vehicles.
During 1963 the City concluded settlement of the Anti-Trust pro- ceedings commenced in the United States District Court against ten companies charged with price fixing in connection with the sale of asphalt to cities and towns in the Commonwealth. As a result of this court action the City of Newburyport received total settlements of $3,864.15.
Construction of the Sewage Treatment project was commenced in 1963. I prepared loan orders, resolutions, certificates and other documents required for approval and issuance of bonds in the amount of $500,000.00. I prepared and reviewed Council Orders, Applications, Certificates and Documents required by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the United States Public Health Service for award of a Federal grant in the amount of $555,000.00. I participated in many conferences with officials of the Federal government, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Mayor Albert H. Zabriskie and other City officials during the planning and execution stages of this project. This department was also charged with the responsibility of negotiating for the acquisition of land need- ed in connection with this project. During 1963 eight such parcels were acquired at a total cost of $ 160.00. I prepared all deeds and coun- cil orders regarding the acquisition of these properties.
An action commenced in the Essex County Superior Court by Andrew J. Gillis was successfully defended by the City. This action which was brought to compel the sale of Engine House No. 3 on Federal Street to Mr. Gillis was heard before a Master and ordered dismissed by the Court.
At the end of the year there are no court cases pending against the City.
Respectfully submitted, Hugh hoyle Hugh 4: Doyle City Solicitor
