the graves be levelled off so that they may have the care they need. There is use for about 20 headstones at the present time.
I also recommend that the Town furnish suitable receptacles to be placed in different parts of the cemetery to receive waste that is to be thrown away, which will add to the general cleanli- ness.
I will recommend that $50.00 be appropriated for the two recommendations named above.
I would suggest that the Town appoint a committee to inspect the present conditions of the walls and fences which sur- round the cemetery. It is impossible under the present conditions to keep out the cattle, as the land in the rear is used for a long distance for pasturage during the summer. This committee to report at the adjourned meeting.

REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE.
1898]
Report of Street Light Committee.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
Your committee have attended to the business connected with this department during the year and submit the following report.
On March 1, 1896, we were running 102 arc and 23 incan- descent lights, (as per last report.) We have added during the year, 5 arcs and two incandescents, making 107 ares and 25 incan- descents now on our circuits. The poles with the exception of the last three which have been set are now numbered consecu- tively, a list of which are kept at the power house and at the of- fice of the Lynn Gas and Electric Co.
The numbering of lights has proved a very good thing, par- ticularly when one has been found during the night to be out. Our police have notified the company, at the same time keeping a record by its number, and reporting also to some member of the committee, the chairman being particular to see that the com- pany have the lamp put in working order. This co-operation on the part of our police has been duly appreciated by your com- mittee.
We consider the service given us by the Lynn Gas and Elec- tric Co. in a general term as being satisfactory, though by no means perfect. Perfection in electric lighting has not yet been fully accomplished, and we fail to learn by comparing the power of the light we have with that of other Towns using the same power, where any of these places get more for the same expendi- ture of money than ourselves. It may be seen by referring to our annual list of appropriations that our street lighting, which up to a few years ago may have been our least important Town
130
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Feb. 28
department, stands to-day second in importance, being exceeded only by that of Schools, and yet there are not a few who think that more light is needed.
Applications are frequently made to the committee for new lamps, or the relocation of some already on the circuit, and your committee desire to remind their fellow citizens that when the esti- mates are made up at each new year they not only cover existing lights, but further provide for those which may look reasonably sure to come by those petitioned for in the annual warrant, hence our surplus for anything beyond this must be limited, and again to relocate a pole, or change the position of a lamp in any way of- ten calls for very delicate supervision, from the fact it has been a fixture and gave satisfaction. It may have been placed when the foliage was asleep, but with the budding of spring and the spread- ing out of the summer leaves, somebody is blanketed and wants the thing changed. To do so, (while no expense devolves upon the Town, the company always being ready to make whatever changes the committee may suggest), may cause no end of com- ment to a few, and censure of the committee.
We would recommend that in the establishment of new lights, they be regularly petitioned for either at the regular, or at some special Town meeting called for that purpose, and appro- priations for the same.
The question of a Municipal Electric Lighting Plant of our own has been somewhat under discussion at various times by your committee and some of the advantages over our present sys- ten considered. How much to our advantage it would seem im- possible at this time to demonstrate. There are many difficulties and great liabilities ever before a Company, whether Town or pri- vate corporation in conducting a plant of this kind, as for instance in the great snow storm of Feb. 1, which threw down a large num- ber of poles and matted together miles of untangleable wire which nothing but the white heat of a seething furnace could again reclaim in pigs of iron for another revolution into wire, the destruction of costly lamps ; wages for a small army of extra linemen with new poles to set, and a thousand and one outlays of money before the service could be fully repaired and in working order. This
131
REPORT OF STREET LIGHT COMMITTEE.

may be the exceptional, but is ever liable and would be well, also, to consider as in the case of our neighbor, Marblehead, whose splen- did plant we recently visited, great havoc was made along their lines and some five hundred dollars will be required to pay for damage done.
There is no doubt but Marblehead has a very fine lighting plant, and the prospects are that the time is not far distant when it will be self supporting.
Your committee are unanimous in the opinion that the time is not far distant for our Town also, particularly if the appropria- tions continue to increase, as no doubt they will, and when the Ten Thousand dollar mark is reached we may then, in our opinion, consider the advisability as a Town, of going into the Street Lighting business.
Referring to the recommendation as touched upon last year by our late colleague, Mr. P. H. Ryan, that the Street Light Committee for the ensuing year be instructed to investigate the operation of the several Municipal Lighting Plants within the limits of the State of Massachusetts, your committee will say their investigations have been mostly confined to printed reports, not deeming it proper to make tours of personal observation necessi- tating outlays of money for expense not authorized by the Town.
We would suggest and further recommend that the incom- ing committee continue their investigations on the subject of municipal ownership, that the Town may be in possession of facts and figures to enable them to act intelligently, should the time ever come when it may be deemed advisable to go into the business.
Your Committee would recommend an appropriation of Eight Thousand Dollars for the current year.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Committee on Sewerage.
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
Your Committee who were at the last Annual Town Meet- ing directed to investigate and report at a future meeting are of the opinion that at this time they are unable to make any definite report to the Town on the Sewerage matter. Since the appoint- ment of your Committee, action has been taken by the Towr, looking to the ownership of its water system, either by the pur- chase of the property of the Marblehead Water Co., or the ex- tension of the Town mains and pipes. The adoption of either of the plans mentioned would require much consideration and large expenditure. In view of the situation, as now presented, your Committee believes that a question of such importance as the ownership of our water plant should first be decided.
We would recommend that a committee of five be appointed to further consider the Sewerage matter, and especially some methods of disposal, and report with recommendations at the next Annual Town Meeting, or a meeting prior thereto.
