This inspection also consisted of a detailed description of the stables in which these animals were kept, in regard to ventila- tion, light, cleanliness, water supply, breathing space for each animal, etc., which resulted as follows : Whole number of prem- ishs inspected, 36; of these 16 were poorly ventilated, 17 had poor light, 23 were unclean and 2 were filthy. In the majority of cases the heating space was sufficient had there been proper ventilation.
Most stables are supplied with metropolitan water, although a few rely on wells; but in these cases the quality of water was apparently good.
There has been only one case of contagious disease, viz : farcy, which was quarantined, condemned and destroyed.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
1901
Report of the Library Trustees
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
There are now 7,770 volumes in the Library, showing an in- crease of 350 volumes during the year. Several books for refer- ence have been added.
The circulation has been 25,062 ; 1781 more than last year.
Books have been presented by Mr. William F. Jay, Dr. R. Fowler Beattie and others.
The high standard maintained in the selection of books, and the excellent condition in which all are kept, are due to the con- stant care of the librarian, whose conscientious work and never- failing courtesy we feel sure are appreciated by all.
We are in great need of more room, more light and better ventilation.
The Woman's Club started a "Public Library Building Fund" two years ago.
Are there not some among our wealthy citizens who will assist in so increasing this fund, that our library may have as pleasant and convenient a home as any in towns of the same size in the state ?

Trustees.

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF Board of Park Commissioners
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
We are pleased to be able to state that the Park Department is in a flourishing and satisfactory condition, as all claims against the Town have been paid, the Administration Building is fully occupied by tenants, and the expressions gathered from citizens from time to time show conclusively that the public can enjoy and appreciate the many natural attractions offered by our beaches more fully than ever before.
Carrying out, as far as we were able, the intent of our plan, prepared last year, to improve and beautify the Blaney Beach Reservation, we have this year constructed a substantial sea-wall over 400 feet long, and have filled in the space behind the same in a manner which has materially increased the area available for the placing of seats and for the general use of the public. Upon this area we have erected a neat structure, which is at the same time a band stand and look-out. The one concert given last season demonstrated its popularity, and we trust that you will be further benefited by it the coming season.
In the early part of October a communication was received from Mr. Walter Burgess, representing the Trustees of the Swampscott Land Trust, offering to give to the Town, to be used for park purposes, certain land bounded by Monument avenue and particularly described by deed and plan accompany- ing it. The proposition met with the approval and recommen- dation of your Commissioners, and the matter of acceptance of the gift was brought before the Town at a special meeting held
129
REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
1901]
October 10, when it was voted to accept the deed of transfer, a copy of which, with plan, has been filed as usual. We can add that we feel that the Town has hereby acquired in this not only a very beautiful but also a valuable property.
Our recommendation in our last report, relative to the Town's acquiring the low land of Humphrey street, near the car stables, opposite King's Beach, is again urged.
Of necessity, there are yearly some things to do which incur the spending of money. The Administration Building will need this year some slight interior repairs and fresh painting on the outside, and we believe that curbstones should be laid at King's Beach to better define the line of sidewalk from the street; and new awnings to cover the present seats are needed. This neces- sitates, together with the usual amount of work required at times to keep our newly acquired property in good order, an appropri- ation, and we therefore recommend that the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) be appropriated for park purposes.
Respectfully submitted, E. H. KITFIELD, FRANK L. EARL, H. CUSHING BULFINCH, Park Commissioners.

Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Water Board herewith respectfully submit its third annual report :
The year has been one of unusual activity in our department, and we feel our efforts have been fruitful in remedying some of the deficiencies in our water system. We see ahead of us many desirable changes, and trust we shall be able to make further progress in that direction the coming year. Among these improvements is the more direct connection made with our pipes on Broad street, Lynn, by the Metropolitan Water Board, giving us a better pressure. We have always felt that wherever a circuit could be effected without too much expense, it would be wise to make it, thereby lessening the number of "dead" ends, and giving clearer water to those in the immediate vicinity, as well as reducing the number of water takers liable to shut offs in case of breaks or repairs. This benefit was very manifest by the loop made at the corner of Elmwood and Sheridan roads while relaying the new pipe on Humphrey street.
You will notice under the heading of "Extension of Water Pipes," the several streets in which pipes have been laid, the in- crease of services in these localities warranting the outlay.
The number of breaks in the old cement-lined pipes, two of which occurring at a very inopportune time-necessitating the shutting off of the water from the whole lower part of the Town when our hotels and summer cottages were filled, confirmed our decision that the time had arrived for replacing these pipes between the Monument and Hay Scales. The work was com- pleted in the early fall, our old ten-inch cement-lined pipe being replaced by a twelve-inch cast-iron pipe, which size main, in our
131
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
1901]
opinion, will be demanded throughout its extension to meet the requirements of the future growth of Swampscott. In the laying of this new pipe we trust the lower portion of our Town is secure from a repetition of last summer's inconvenience.
We have had nineteen breaks during the past year, but from none of these did we suffer much loss or damage, owing to the promptness with which they were reported, and in this con- nection we would thank the Police Department for the interest manifested.
By order of the State Highway Commission we removed 26 22 inch valves and 26 gate boxes from Paradise road. We also removed 20 valves and 20 gate boxes from land owned by the Town situated between Paradise road and Hampden and Middlesex avenues. In both instances the value of materials removed far exceeded the cost of labor in so doing.
We sent a request to the Lynn Gas and Electric Company of Lynn to remove their gas pipe from our trench on Humphrey street before relaying. We met their Superintendent and after he presented the matter to the Directors they decided to accede to our request. We appreciate the recognition of our interest.
We feel the time is not far distant when action must be taken for locating and building a new and enlarged reservoir. The present standpipe in its fullest capacity fails to give us the pressure needed to supply the Highlands with water. We are constantly receiving complaints both from residents and the Phillips School of this lack of supply, and owing to our en- deavors to meet these demands as far as possible, the standpipe frequently overflows, causing great annoyance and just com- plaints, as well as some damage to the immediate neighborhood. Our citizens will no doubt remember that Engineer Coffin in his report to the Committee on Future Water Supply, in 1898, said : " The present standpipe furnishes neither sufficient pressure nor storage capacity for proper fire protection or domestic service."
The kindly and generous spirit evinced by the Water Com- missioners of Marblehead is worthy of special mention. We were obliged to call upon them again for help, which was ren- dered with the same promptness and generosity as last year, and
132

we feel sure that Swampscott would gladly embrace any oppor- tunity to reciprocate in like spirit.
On the 30th of January last, the Commissioners of the various cities and towns included in the Metropolitan system were called together by its State Water Board to consider the all-important question of the reckless use of water. It was clearly demon- strated at that meeting that some concerted action will have to be taken to prevent this waste. Statistics were presented, showing that while the population in this State during the past ten years had increased about 33 per cent., the consumption of water had increased 54 per cent. It must be obvious to every citizen that we have an individual duty in this matter, and your Com- missioners would respectfully ask your cooperation in preventing needless waste of water.

REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
1901]
Report of the Sewer Commissioners.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Commissioners the past year have not had any duties to perform. An appropriation of $250 was made at a Special Town Meeting last summer for the use of the Commissioners, but the Commissioners decided not to make any further investi- gation this year and have not used the appropriation. From reports made by various citizens in regard to the sanitary con- dition of the Town we are satisfied that Swampscott must have a system of sewerage in the near future.
