Progress Report of Board of Sewer Commissioners, Saugus, Mass.
April 8, 1933
To the Honorable, the Board of Selectmen
of the Town of Saugus:
Gentlemen :
The Board of Sewer Commissioners has continued its pre- liminary work in connection with a municipal sewerage system for the Town, during the past year. Through its engineers, Fay, Spofford and Thorndike, the Board has made investi- gations for disposal of the sewage of the Town. Three met- hods of sewage disposal have been considered ---
(1) Disposal by discharging into the North Metropolitan Sewerage System.
(2) Disposal by a town-owned sewage treatment plant.
(3) Disposal by discharging into the sewerage works of the city of Lynn.
Detailed studies of the cost of constructing and operating a complete sewerage system show that a system which pro- vides for disposal of the sewage by discharging it into the sewerage works of the City of Lynn will be less expensive, taking account of both construction and operating costs, than will either of the other two alternatives for sewage disposal. After establishing this fact, the Board held several confer- ences with the Mayor and Commission of Ways and Drainage of the City regarding possible arrangements and an agree- ment to accomplish this result. Much consideration was nat- urally given to the fee to be paid to Lynn by Saugus.
Estimates which were furnished by our engineers and sub- mitted to the Annual Town Meeting in 1929 indicated that the Saugus share in the Lynn works might be $95,000.
76
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
Our engineers have worked diligently to keep the agreed en- trance fee as low as possible and after much persistent effort your Board of Sewer Commissioners and the Mayor and Com- mission on Ways and Drainage of the City of Lynn have arrived at an entrance fee of $97,500 to be paid by Saugus to Lynn for the permanent right to a capacity of 6 million gallons per day in the Lynn outfall sewer. Your Board believes this figure to be a fair one for both Saugus and Lynn.
An agreement is pending between your Board of Sewer Commissioners and the Mayor and Commission on Ways and Drainage of the City of Lynn covering the terms and conditions under which the Town would discharge its sewage into the Lynn outfall sewer. Under the provisions of Chapter 71 of the Acts af 1933 of the General Court the agreement is to be submitted to the Lynn City Council for approval and your Board is prepared to recommend its approval by the Town, in order that it may become effective.
Our studies show that the expenditure of approximately $600,000 will permit the payment of the entrance fee to the City of Lynn and the construction, at present contract prices, of (1) lateral sewers to serve private property at East Saugus, Saugus Center and Cliftondale, (2) a main intercepting sewer to convey the sewage from the lateral sewers to a main pump- ing station at East Saugus, (3) a main pumping station at East Saugus, and (4) a main sewer or force main in which to convey the sewage from the main pumping station to Lynn's main outfall sewer. Approximately eleven miles of sewers would be built within the confines of the Town.
Detailed studies of the costs for a complete sewerage system show that prior to about the year 1943 the revenue collected from sewer betterment assessments and annual sewerage rent- al charges will be sufficient to meet all expenditures for the sewerage system without any increase in the tax rate: and that thereafter the maximum increase in the tax rate will not exceed approximately two dollars per $1,000 valuation.
Construction of Sewers To Reduce Local Unemployment and Relieve Welfare Expenses
In view of the extraordinary unemployment conditions, and the excessive expenditures for welfare assistance and soldiers'
77
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
1933]
relief to give financial aid to the unemployed, your Board be- lieves that serious consideration should be given to the pos- sibility of constucting sewers to provide legimate work for the unemployed. Wages paid to residents of the Town employed on sewer work would materially reduce the excessive expenses for welfare assistance and soldiers' relief, as well as give the municipality lasting tangible returns for the money spent. Moreover, the undertaking of unemployment relief work on the sewerage system, which can be financed by bond issues, will not increase the immediate tax burden nearly as much as the excessive expenditures for welfare assistance which must be raised in full from the same years tax levy.
A number of municipalities hereabout have already under- taken to relieve their excessive welfare expenditures by appropriating funds for carrying out needed public improve- ments as an unemployment relief measure; Gloucester will have spent upwards of $250,000 for sewers, water mains and highways, during 1931-32 and 33; Marblehead is now spend- ing approximately $100,000 on sewer construction work; New- ton is spending approximately $300,000 for sewer construction work; and numerous other municipalities are spending lesser amounts on unemployment relief projects.
Your Board, therefore, has given detailed consideration to a program of sewer work which might be undertaken. Ex- perience elsewhere has shown that on sewer work approxi- mately one-half of the cost goes to job labor, and is available, therefore, for local unemployment relief, the other half of the cost being for materials and indirect expense. Consequent- ly the total expenditure for the construction of sewers to afford the same amount of relief as direct welfare assistance, would be approximately twice the welfare expenditure. The expen- diture for sewer construction would produce a permanent in- crease in the value of the Town, whereas the expenditure for direct welfare assistance would not create any permanent in- crease in the value of the Town.
The records of the expenditures of the Welfare Department for the past eleven years indicate that if normal business con- ditions had prevailed, the 1932 welfare expenditures would have been about $34,000. As against this figure the actual welfare expenditures for 1932 were over $93,000, or an excess
78
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
of nearly $60,000 on account of present extraordinary unem- ployment conditions. Furthermore, the total 1932 expendi- tures for Soldiers' Relief were over $33,000 of which approxi- mately two-thirds, or say $20,000 was paid to men able to do manual work. Therefore, the total amount spent by the Town in 1932 for extraordinary welfare assistance and for soldiers' relief to able-bodied men, amounted to $80,000, in round fig- ures. To provide $80,000 worth of relief locally by undertaking unemployment relief work on sewer construction would in- volve an expenditure of twice that amount, or $160,000. This expenditure could be used to advantage to construct lateral sewers in the Town. It is reasonable to expect that the cost of constructing sewers with the local unemployed would be about one-third more than to construct the same sewers at prevailing contract prices. Therefore, to construct the same amount of sewers that could be built by contract for $120,000 would cost $160,000 with local unemployed. The expenditure of $160,000 for constructing sewers as an unemployment re- lief measure would build about 5.3 miles of 8-inch sewer if common labor were paid 40 cents per hour; if the laborers worked 8 hours per day and four days per week they would receive $12.80 per week and there would be work for about 106 men for 52 weeks. If the rate paid common labor were 50 cents per hour about 4.6 miles of 8-inch sewer could be built and if the laborers worked 8 hours per day and 3 days per week they would receive $12.00 per week. At $12.00 per week there would be work for about 124 men for 52 weeks.
Detailed estimates have been made by our engineers to show the expenditures for constructing sewers under a program of unemployment relief work, and also to compare the cost of this unemployment relief work with the cost of direct welfare as- sistance. For one year's work the excess expense, including amortization and interest, of doing the work as an unemploy- ment relief project rather than at prevailing contract prices would be about $68,000 provided the cost was financed by 30- year serial bonds bearing 41/2 per cent interest, about $59,000 if financed by 15-year serial bonds, and about $50,000 if fi- nanced by 10-year serial bonds. However, in each case the excess expense would be substantially less than the excess ex- penditure for direct welfare assistance during the same period, which would amount to $80,000. The actual amount
79
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
1933]
to be raised from the tax levy in one year would be substantial- ly less for a program of unemployment relief work than for direct welfare expenditures to accomplish the same amount of relief. If the unemployment relief work were financed by 30- year serial bonds, the greatest amount to be raised from the tax levy in one year would be $63,750 less for the unemploy- ment relief work than for direct welfare assistance; for 20- year serial bonds it would be $61,200 less, for 15-year serial bonds $58,600 less and for 10-year serial bonds $53,400 less. These figures do not assume any revenue from sewer better- ment assessments and annual sewer rental charges because the means for sewage disposal would not have been provided and the sewers could not be used until it had been. There could not be any sewer betterment assessment or annual rental charge to property owners for the sewers until the sewers could be used by the abutting private property.
The Board of Sewer Commissioners believes that to con- struct lateral sewers as an unemployment relief project and thereby to reduce direct welfare expenditures, is a logical procedure.
