REMARKS.
The hose wagon, steamer and horses are in good condi- tion. The horses and men have been employed upon the streets, and have been credited for the same for watering, $508.75, and on highways $94.00, which gives the department credit for the year $602.75.
FIRE ALARM.
The fire alarm was thoroughly wired anew and three circuits were put in, as was voted by the Town at the last Town Meeting, and is in good condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Board would recommend that the Engine House and the old Engine House be painted and shingled the com- ing year, thus improving the looks and preserving the build- ing from decay, and that the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars ($350.00) be appropriated for the same.
The Board of Engineers wish to call your attention to the ladders and their condition. They are very poor and are not fit for fire duty. The ladders are about twelve years old, and the life of the wood is all gone. They were made out of spruce, and the age has made them brittle and not

safe for a man to work on. Therefore we recommend that a sum of two hundred and fifty-five dollars ($255.00) be appropriated for a set of ladders for fire purposes, hoping that the citizens will remember that the lives of your firemen de- pend on the safety of your apparatus.
WATER SUPPLY.
In case of fire, the pressure on all the hydrants is very poor. We feel that steps should be taken to increase the pressure ; it grows worse every year.
We thank the citizens of Swampscott in behalf of the members of the Fire Department for the courtesies shown them the past year.

REMARKS.
The increased size of the Police force has worked admirably during the past year, all parts of the Town being thus afforded protection during the night, and the larger portion of the Town being also patrolled during the day time.
As Lynn has declared in favor of a license law, to take effect on May 1st, and Salem and Beverly have decided to retain No License, and probably Marblehead will remain in No License class, the work of the department will, undoubt- edly, be largely increased the coming year on this account,
162

this having been the result in previous years when the same conditions have existed.
Reference was made in the last Annual Report to the many attempts at breaking and entering, and to the larceny of carpenter's tools from buildings in process of construc- tion. The department has been more successful this year, having secured convictions for each of these offences, which has to a great extent broken up these practices.
The department has also been active in its pursuit of illegal liquor sellers during the year, and have secured several convictions, over four hundred dollars ($400) being paid into the Town treasury in fines imposed on the guilty parties.

Report of Superintendent of Cemetery.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
A few much-needed improvements have been made the past year, among them being the building of two water closets, also the putting in of the Marblehead water in place of the wells, which have been filled up. There are but few lots remaining unsold. I would, therefore, recommend that the sum of $2,500 be appropriated to grade the land in the rear of the Tombs, commencing on the Essex street side, thereby making more lots for sale.
Number of lots sold, 3. Price, $40 each. Number of interments, 42.

Cemetery Improvement Committee.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
The Committee appointed at the last Annual Town Meeting, for the purpose of improving and assuming general charge of the Cemetery, beg leave to submit the following report.
Owing to the vote taken at the adjourned Town Meet- ing, the work of the Committee was curtailed to such an extent as to practically make it inoperative so far as taking charge of the Cemetery was concerned, and only left in our hands the matter of buying new land, and we can only say that the same conditions prevail as has been in our path for the last two years.
We have ascertained that it was necessary for the Town to accept certain Statute Laws before any Cemetery Com- missioners could be legally elected. We have brought it properly before the Town for your action.
All work and plans submitted for your approval in the past by us, can be carried out by the Commissioners elected by you, and they can at once improve the Old Cemetery and secure additional lands.
We would recommend that the sum of $2,500 be appro- priated for the Cemetery Maintenance and Improvements.
Appropriation for 1896.

Report of Committee on Sewerage.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
Your Committee have attended to their duties and submit the following report of their doings the past year :
After looking up the plans and figures of R. Hering, Engineer, made in 1891, your Committee thought best to employ a competent engineer to give figures as to the cost of construction of the systems of sewerage shown on plans Nos. 1 and 3, of Mr. Hering, and employed J. Leslie Wood- fall, Engineer, for that purpose, and herewith submit his re- port on cost of construction in accordance with plans of sew- erage made by Mr. Hering. Mr. Woodfall's estimate for the cost of construction as per plan No. 1, which is to con- nect with the Lynn sewer, is $93,963.00, and as per plan No. 3, where the outlet is to be at Dread Ledge, $122,993.00.
Your Committee feel that their work is completed, and that it now rests with the voters of Swampscott to act upon the important matter of sewerage, and recommend that at the Annual Town Meeting in March, 1897, a Sewerage Committee consisting of fifteen members be elected to inves- tigate and report at the next following Annual Town Meet- ing, or some Town Meeting prior thereto, the result of its investigation, and make such recommendations upon all mat- ters relating to sewerage that such Committee see fit, and that an appropriation of $500 be made by the Town for the

use of the Committee in the performance of its duties in such way as the Committee see fit, and that each member of said Committee be elected separately, and that each nominee shall be voted for by those in favor of such nominee first raising their right hands, and thereafter those opposed to such nominee raising their right hands.

Committee on Sewerage.
BOSTON, MASS, April 9, 1895.
TO THE SEWERAGE COMMITTEE OF SWAMPSCOTT MASS :
Gentlemen, - We have the honor to submit the following report, and estimate of the cost of building the disposal part of a system of sewers for the Town of Swamp- scott, as planned by Mr. Rudolph Hering, C. E., in 1891. We have examined the three outlets proposed, and called, in Mr. Hering's report, " Project I, II, III." By project I, the sewage is to be delivered into the Lynn intercepting sewer at Ingalls avenue and Stacy Brook; By project II, onto filter beds situated near Salem street, and by project III, into the ocean near Dread Ledge. We consider project I the best outlet proposed by Mr. Hering. If satisfactory terms can be made with the City of Lynn we should recommend this point of discharge. The objections to this outlet are : First, The difficulty of making permanent arrangements with the City of Lynn. Second, The danger that sometime the city may, through the courts, break any arrangement you may make. Third, The fact that the Lynn sewers are laid
172
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Feb. 27
with very small grades. Fourth, That the overflow of the Lynn sewer at Ingalls street is into Stacy's Brook, so that in case the Lynn sewer was overtaxed, your sewage would simply flow into Stacy Brook. Fifth, That in time the City of Lynn may have to pump their sewage to deep water or treat it in some way, in which case you would probably have to pay your proportional part of the expense of said pump- ing or treatment. With the sewage all flowing to the Lynn sewer it is well to think what can be done with it, if at any time it is necessary to stop using the Lynn sewer. In this case it could be collected at the ejector on Humphrey street near Stacy Brook, and from this point pumped to the high point on Burrill street near Blaney street, from which point it can flow by gravity to the pumping station on Humphrey street near Orient street. From this point it can be pumped to the Dread Ledge outlet, as planned by Mr. Hering. It may be possible to build filter beds on the unimproved land lying north of the railroad. If this can be done then the sewage could all be pumped from the Swampscott line to this point. The cost of beds at this point would be very large, unless proper ground for treatment could be found in this locality, but they would be far removed from the valuable part of the Town, and in your case it might be a wise invest- ment to go to a very large expense rather than to run the risk of injuring your best property by building beds along the side of Salem street, or by outleting into the ocean at Dread Ledge. Great care should be taken in making terms with the City of Lynn, and it should be distinctly understood that the City of Lynn are not to overflow your sewage into Stacy Brook except in case of extraordinary high tide. We understand that Stacy Brook is taken into the Lynn sewer. If this is so the brook water could be taken out of the sewer in case of trouble, and allowed to flow in its natural channel.
173
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERAGE.
1897]
The sewage having been all removed from the brook no trouble will be given by the brook water.
In connection with the Lynn outlet it is well to bear in mind the fact that the section needing immediate attention lies west of Blaney, Rose and Rockland streets, and drains by gravity either into the Lynn sewer, or into the ejector on Humphrey street near Stacy Brook. This being the case an agreement with the City of Lynn will provide you with an outlet for this section, at a much less cost than would be in- curred by constructing the Dread Ledge outlet.
The ejectors will be run by compressed air. We sug- gest that arrangements be made with the Marblehead Water Co. to furnish the compressed air for these ejectors. It would be necessary to locate two air compressors and an air receiver at the pumping station, and to connect the air receiver with the ejectors. If at any time it was decided to build a pumping station, the air compressors and receiver could be moved to the new station. These air condensers work au- tomatically, i.e. they start and stop themselves so that they keep the air at a constant pressure, so that they need little attention.
PROJECT II.
While there is no doubt that the treatment of sewage on land is a very satisfactory way of handling the subject, yet we should not recommend the building of filter beds on the land near Salem street.
The property on and near Atlantic avenue is too valua- ble to run the risk of injuring it by treating the sewage at this point.
PROJECT III.
The outlet here suggested is into the ocean at a point about two thousand feet from Whale Beach. Under ordinary circumstances this outlet would be satisfactory, as the danger
174
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Feb.27
from any large amount of sewage reaching the shore is small. Great care would have to be taken to remove all the solid matter that would float. The removal of this solid matter would have to be done with great care or it would cause trouble. Whale Beach is one of the finest of your beaches, and the property bordering on or near it is very valuable. If the solid matter that will float is removed, we have left the grease and fresh water which will rise to the surface, and in case the wind is blowing towards the land it is possi- ble that some of this sewage may reach the beach. Although the amount may never be great, yet in a locality like this it would be objectionable.
Following is the estimated cost of building the sewers shown in red on the plans of project I and II, together with the cost of the pumping station, force mains, etc.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERAGE.
177
If power is taken from the Marblehead Water Company, there will be a saving in the cost of construction of $8,050.00, making the cost of construction in this part of the Town with the outlet at Dread Ledge equal to $79,271.00.
In the estimates as given, nothing has been allowed for land damage or for any sum to be paid the City of Lynn for the use of the sewers of that City, or for purchasing power of the Marblehead Water Company. These items can best be obtained by your Committee and added to the estimates. In conclusion, we would say that the work must be done in the very best man- ner, and great care be taken to keep out all the ground water possible, as a greater part of the sewage must be pumped, and any addition to the amount of sewage by ground water leaking into the sewers, adds a constant amount to the cost of pumping.

TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
Your Committee to whom was referred the matter of consulting with the Lynn & Boston R. R. Company in relation to the care of the streets through which the Com- pany has tracks, have interviewed the Company and were unable to secure any encouragement that the Company would do anything substantial in that direction.
The General Manager is of the opinion that as the rail- road has given the Town low fares to surrounding places, they have done their proportional part in the matter.
