Report of Inspector of Provisions, Animals, etc. 1892=1893.


TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


I herewith present the first annual report as the Inspector of Cattle, Meat, Fish, Fruit and Vegetables, the position to which I was appointed by you under Chapter 195, Acts of 1892.


First inspection took place between July 18, and Aug. 15, 1892. Second inspection between Oct. 25, and Nov. 1, 1892. Third inspection between Jan. 26, and Feb. 1, 1893.


I find whole number of cows kept for production of milk, 142. Number kept in other towns, with milk sold in Swampscott by owners, 63. Number found diseased or in an unhealthy con- dition and sale of milk prohibited, 4.


Number of meat and provision stores, 5, wagons 1. Fish, markets, wholesale and retail, 3, wagons 3.


Number of peddlers detected offering for sale decayed or un_ healthy fruit or vegetables, and made to leave the town with their load, 3, viz: one each of strawberries, bananas and potatoes. Places for slaughter of cattle and hogs, 1.


Not being able to obtain the necessary blanks and instruc- tions from the State Commission until July 17, the first tour of inspection was delayed until July 18, 1892, the law re- quiring inspection to be made at intervals not exceeding three months.


I find the cows as a general thing well kept, stables clean, and well ventilated.


I have inspected provision stores and fish markets at short

intervals and in no instance have found any tainted meat or fish or found any odor showing that such might exist, which shows that the food used in Swampscott is of the highest grade.


·


The Slaughter-house is situated in Upper Swampscott and used mostly for slaughtering hogs, in cold weather only.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE NEWHALL, Inspector.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR-1892-1893.


REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR, 1892=1893.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT:


Herewith I submit my report as Milk Inspector for the year ending February 28, 1893. The receipts for 12 licenses amounting to six ($6.00)dollars has been paid to the Treasurer.


The proper Inspection of the milk sold in our Town appears to me a subject of considerable importance, and one in which our citizens should co-operate with the Inspector in a rigid enforcement of the statutes of the Commonwealth upon this question, with fairness to the licensees and justice to the public.


The number of licenses granted by the Inspector was 12, viz :

REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE-1892-1893.


Report of Committee on Street Lights, 1892=1893.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT:


Your Committee on Street Lights have attended to their duty and submit a report of their doings the past year, although there seems but little to be said.


Our streets have been well lighted and your committee feel that the present system is satisfactory to all, excepting on dark and stormy nights when the lamps are not burning, the moon being supposed to serve.


Your committee have added to the circuit of lighting dur- ing the past year two Arc lights and one Incandescent at the following localities :


1 Arc light on Monument Avenue.


1 Arc light at junction of Elmwood and Sheridan Roads.


1 Incandescent on Crescent Street (Upper Swampscott) as called for in Town warrant of last year.


The total number of lights in town is 82 Arcs and 15 In- candescents.


Your committee would recommend for the year an appro- priation of six thousand four hundred dollars ($6,400) for the regular lights and an additional five hundred ($500) for lighting on dark nights when the moon is obscured.


Respectfully submitted,

REPORT ON LAYING OUT ONTARIO STREET.


Report on Laying Out Ontario Street as a Town=way, 1892=1893.


TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF SWAMPSCOTT :-


The undersigned Selectmen of Swampscott having given printed and written notices to Elihu B. Hayes, Mrs. Eunice A. Farrington. Charles Farrington, Mrs. Ida P. Thomas, Mrs. Olive S. Horton, Samuel M. Carter, also to Elihu B. Hayes, as authorized agent for W. H. Pierce and George W. Ellis and to Charles P. Snow as tenant of Mrs. Hannah B. Remick, being all the parties known to us to be interested in the sub- ject matter of the street to be laid out that we intend to lay out a street 50 feet in width, substantially on the line of Ontario Street, so-called, running from Pine Street to Lynn line, such notices requiring such persons to appear before us at the junction of said Ontario and Pine Streets, to view the premises on Monday, Jan. 30, 1893, at 3 o'clock. and at our office in Town Hall, at 4 o'clock the same day, and having caused such notices to be actually served according to law upon all such persons by a constable of this town, at least seven days before the day so appointed for the hearing, and having also given notice to them and all other persons (if any). who may be interested in the subject matter of said street, whose names are not known to us, or who have no place of abode in the town, or who have no tenant or author- ized agent known to us, by posting up a copy of the written and printed notice-in three public places in the town at


108


REPORT ON LAYING OUT ONTARIO STREET.


least seven days before the time appointed for the hearing. Pursuant to such notice,'we met at the time and place ap- pointed for the hearing, and after hearing the parties and their remarks, and no objections being made, and the route of the proposed street having been viewed and ex- amined by us after fully considering the subject, adjudged that it was necessary for the public convenience, that a street or town-way should be laid out and maintained by the Town as hereinafter described, to wit: The southern line of said way begins at a stone monument set in the boundary line be- tween the Town of Swampscott and the City of Lynn, and runs thence North 71° 40' 30" East, (magnetic) a distance of 193.63 feet to a second stone monument, thence North 85° East, (magnetic), a distance of 197.15 feet to a third stone monument set in the westerly line of Pine Street. The northerly line of said way is parallel with and fifty (50) feet distant from the said southerly line. All land lying between said southerly and northerly lines is included in this laying out. The location of said Ontario Street is in accordance with a plan and profile of the same made by Charles W. Gay, C. E., dated Jan. 2d, 1893, approved by us and filed in the office of the Town Clerk, Jan. 2d, 1893, and is adopted as a part of this record. No awards are made. The owners of the land abutting upon said street or way in consideration of the lay- ing out of the same, as a town-way agree to waive all claim as right to damages of any kind on account of the said laying out by the Selectmen and the acceptance by the Town on account of any grading in constructing of the street. The estimate cost of construction is $700. We have given the owners of the land abutting upon said street or way 15 days from the date of the acceptance of this report by the Town in which to remove their steps, walls and fences.


And said street or way so laid out, located and described, is hereby reported to the Town for acceptance, and when so accepted, allowed and recorded, is to be known as a town-way.

AUDITORS' REPORT-1892-1893.


AUDITORS' REPORT, 1892=1893.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :


Herewith we present for your consideration the forty-first annual report of the receipts and expenditures, together with a statement of the financial condition of the Town, for the fiscal year ending Feb. 28, 1893.


The accounts of the several departments and officials of the Town have been carefully examined and found to be correct, and satisfactory vouchers on file for payments made. All items in the Treasurer's account have been verified, and we have made personal inquiry at the Manufacturers' National Bank, and National Security Bank, both of the City of Lynn, to ascertain if the amounts as stated on deposit in the Treas- urer's account current were actually on deposit on the dates upon which the quarterly audits occurred. We also hold certificates showing the amounts on deposit that appear in the Treasurer's account.


By the conditions of the Treasurer's bond, issued by the Casualty and Fidelity Co., Ellison, Coolidge & Co., Agents, Boston, the company require that the accounts of the Treas- urer shall be audited quarterly and by reference to the Treasurer's account current it will appear arranged as audited at quarterly periods. While we do not wish to be considered as reflecting in the slightest manner, upon the integrity of our present efficient and trustworthy Treasurer, who has served the town in this responsible position during the past six years, and has, we believe, discharged his duties in an entirely satisfactory and highly commendable manner, we are


111


AUDITORS' REPORT-1892-1893.


decidedly of the opinion after a trial of the system of auditing the Treasurer's accounts, at frequent intervals, that it is in keeping with modern business methods and might be extended to other departments of the Town with equally good results. The facility with which the quarterly examinations are accom- plished, compared with the tedious method of auditing the entire account of the Treasurer at the close of the financial year, convinces us that the best interests of the Town require that our by-laws should be changed to make this desirable feature permanent.


The system of accounting, now in use by the Selectmen, is exceedingly cumbersome and with the increasing amount of business of the Town each year, makes it apparent that some other method must be adopted in the near future. We refer particularly to the custom of making an individual draft upon the Treasurer, by the Selectmen, in payment for the amount due, at the close of the week, to each person em- ployed upon the several departments of the highways. for labor performed. This will also apply to any and all depart- ments of the town in which weekly or monthly payments are made.


The recommendations below we present for your consid- eration :


First. That the following article be substituted for Art. II, Sec. 9, of the town by-laws :


The Town Treasurer shall on the first secular day of Jan- uary, March, July and October, of each year, render to the Auditors in writing a full account of all his receipts and ex- penditures with his vouchers therefor.


Second. That the Selectmen arrange so much of the accounts of the several departments of the Town, that in- clude weekly or monthly payments for salaries, labor, etc., in pay-roll form, making a draft upon the Treasurer for the total amount of the payment in each department; also that the same system of arrangement of the accounts in the ledger now in use be continued.


112


AUDITORS' REPORT -1892-1893.


Third. That all accounts of the Town shall be audited at quarterly periods.


We find by the Treasurer's account, receipts from sundry parties aggregating $1,203.49. This amount is for bills ren- dered by the Selectmen for accounts due the Town in their department and of which there is no record whereby the Auditors could verify the amounts received by the Treasurer.


This appears to us too much confidence to place in the in- tegrity of parties who are debtors to the Town and we would respectfully suggest that the Selectmen keep a proper record of such transactions in the future.


The accounts of the Town, we think, should be presented to the Auditors in a manner to show that they balance. With the limited amount of time that is given the Auditors after the close of the financial year we do not think that they should be expected to locate errors.


A balance sheet should be made showing that the accounts are correct. This has been the custom and we recommend that it be continued.


One of the many satisfactory features of the year just closed is the excellent financial condition of the Town. The net Town debt Feb. 28, 1893, was $26,520.79, being the smallest amount since the year 1882.


Respectfully submitted,
