AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LYNN.


Connections with the Lynn system have been made by placing a tapper in the Lewis street house and a Lynn box in our house. Swampscott steamer and hose wagon answer two Lynn boxes on first alarm and two on second and all general alarms, the hose wagon returning immediately after laying the necessary amount of hose. In case of an alarm in town, word would be immediately sent for the return of the steamer, in return for which, the Lewis street chemical answers on first fire alarm boxes 4, 5, 6, 15, 17 and 21. In case more help is required, the Lynn box is pulled, to which respond a steamer and hose wagon, and more upon request. In our opinion, this arrangement will be producive of good to the Town as well as the City of Lynn. In case of a call to Lynn, we shall try and reserve two thirds of the company in Town, about one third being required to work the hose. At all times when the steamer is at Lynn on general alarms, the chemical is retained at the Lewis street Engine House to answer all Swampscott alarms.


The horses are in first -class condition, and have been trained so as to compare favorably with those of larger places. They have been worked on the highway (see high-


82


REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS- 1893-1894.


way department), and what they have earned and what they have saved on alarms, the Town has not lost much for their keeping, as in previons years each alarm cost $12.50 for horses from the Lynn & Boston Railroad Co.


During the past year the Town has been very fortunate in regard to fires, more so than any town that we know of. Many of the surrounding towns have met with serious losses. Their fires were small when discovered but, owing to the absence of drilled companies, large losses resulted. We think the present company of the Town is in very good dis- cipline, and we claim that we are ready at a moment's notice. We have saved what might have been serious losses and have done the Town credit by our work at Lynn.

HEADQUARTERS OF LYNN FIRE DEPARTMENT, - BROAD STREET ENGINE HOUSE, LYNN, MASS., Feb. 1, 1894.


DEAR CHIEF :


The Board of Engineers of the Lynn Fire Department take this method to return their sincere thanks to you and the members of the Swampscott Fire Department for your prompt response to our call for help, and also for the efficient manner in which you discharged the ardu- ous duties which devolved on you. We assure you that we will hold ourselves in readiness to return the great favor if you should need our services.


Fraternally yours,


CHAS. H. DOWNING, Chief.


W. H. HONORS, Clerk.


We would recommend that five more men be added to the company. The men at present are assigned as follows : Steamer, 5; ladder truck, 5, which is a very small number to handle ladders ; hose, 5, leaving one man to look out for the lines of hose. In case a third line of hose is required at a fire,


83


REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS - 1893-1894.


we have not members enough to handle it. We trust this recommendation will be adopted, as the cost of five men is not much to be considered in case of need.


Respectfully submitted,


GEO. P. CAHOON, Board


JAMES E. PHILLIPS,


CHAS. K. ROBERTS, of Engineers.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH - 1893-1894.


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH, 1893=1894.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT : -


The Board of Health respectfully submit the following report of their doings for the past year:


During the past year we have received and investigated all complaints brought to our notice, and have had official notice of eleven (11) cases of scarlet fever and five (5) cases of diph- theria, two (2) of which proved fatal.


The collecting of offal has given general satisfaction, but still we hope to improve on it.


The beaches were cleaned up thoroughly the first of the season, afterward some person or persons saw fit to dump rubbish thereon, which put us to some extra expense to clean it up again, when they might have carried it to the dump.


We had considerable complaint from Hotel Preston by parties residing at Beach Bluff. We investigated, and through the courtesy of the proprietor was shown through the premises, and found everything pertaining to the sanitary condition in first class order.


We had a petition from Frank Griffin of Mountain Park in relation to a pond of water which overflows his cellar, and claimed that by draining this pond some twenty-three (23) other property holders would be benefitted. We called a hearing Jan. 24 at the lower Town Hall, and summoned the parties claimed to be interested. Out of the twenty-three (23) summoned, thirteen (13) appeared at the hearing, and eleven (11) of the thirteen (13) was opposed to being taxed


85


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH -1893-1894.


for the expenses which would incur by the draining of the pond. The board consulted with the Board of Selectmen who were at the hearing, and decided it would be inexpedient to establish such a precedent.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR, 1893 = 1894.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :


The number of licenses granted for sale of milk for the term of 1893-1894 was nineteen (19), for which nine dollars and fifty cents ($9.50) was received and paid into the Town Treasury. No complaints in any form has been made as to quality or service, and it is fair to infer that the service of milk in our Town has been satisfactory to all.

REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE-1893-1894.


REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :-


The street lighting system continues to give satisfaction, the service during the past year having been good. Few complaints have been made concerning it. Recognizing the fact that in order to have the service satisfactory to the pub- lic the liability of interruptions from accidents must be as little as possible, the lighting company have erected a com- modious station near their gas works, which is furnished with the most improved appliances, duplicating machinery being at hand wherever possible, thereby reducing to a minimum the liability of accidental delays. The plan of extra lighting on dark and stormy nights, as instructed by a vote of the Town, your committee believe is in the line of progress, and a con- tinuance of the plan is recommended.


About the first of December, 1893, your committee re- ceived a petition from Charles W. Sargent and others for an arc light at the junction of Walker and Sheridan roads ; also, one at the junction of Grant and Walker roads. The one at the former location was granted but, owing to the ground being closed, action in regard the latter was deferred until spring. There has been an incandescent lamp located on the line dividing the school-honse lot from the Wiley estate on Redington street. The total number of arc lamps now in use in our Town is 83, incandescent, 18.


Your committee recommend an appropriation of $6,700 to continue the lighting system during the coming year. We would further recommend a more liberal policy in the trim- ming of shade trees, and look forward to the near future


96


REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE-1893-1894.


when owners of shade trees will not only allow them to be properly trimmed but will act in the matter voluntarily. By so doing the lighting service will be improved and the liabil- ity of grounding circuits averted.

AUDITORS' REMARKS - 1893-1894.


AUDITORS' REMARKS, 1893=1894.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :


We herewith present for your consideration, the forty- second annual report of the receipts and expenditures of the several departments, with a statement of the financial con- dition of the Town, for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1894.


The accounts of the several departments have been care- fully examined and found to be correct, and satisfactory vouchers on file for payments made.


We would recommend that the Secretary of Auditors be paid the same salary as Chairman.


The Auditors would respectfully call attention to Article II, Section 6 of the Town By-laws, and trust more attention will be given it in future.


One of the sad features of the past year was the death of Mr. Ivory Emmons, who, at the time of decease, was a mem- ber of the Board of Assessors and well known by the towns- people. His long connection with Town affairs brought him in contact with a great many of its citizens. He was a mem- ber of the School Committee for a number of years, and always showed deep interest in Town matters.
