If the Town should vote for compulsory meter service, it would cost the Town some $12,000 to $15,000 to supply the

meters, which sum would have to be raised by another issue of bonds, and as the Water Department can issue bonds only to the amount of $10,000 more, it would become necessary to get a new act passed by the legislature permitting an increase. If individuals were to furnish their own meters, those most in need of a reduction in water rates would be the least able to bear the expense of putting them in. Now the citizens well know we still have something over three miles of cement pipe that must soon be replaced at heavy expense by cast-iron pipe, also each year will bring an increase of our indebtedness to the Metropolitan Water Co., and can we under these conditions recommend the reduction of our present revenue ? Fully realizing we were elected to our office as the Town's servants, any policy which it may adopt we will use our best endeavors to carry out, but we trust the citizens will agree with us, that the time has not yet arrived to make a change in the system under which we are now working.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE


UPON THE


Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary


OF THE


INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN.


To the Citizens of Swampscott :


Your committee, constituted by vote upon Article 17 of the Warrant for the annual meeting of 1902, consisted of the Select- men, the clergymen of the town, the chairman of the School Committee and the Superintendent of Schools, representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Swampscott Lodge of Odd Fellows, the Elmwood Rebekah Lodge, the Swampscott Woman's Club, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the Fire Department, the Taratine Tribe of Red Men, the Daughters of Pocahontas, the Swampscott Club, the Winnipesikett Club and the Improvement Club and Messrs. E. W. Cobb, John Shepard, A. E. Bingham and H. W. Bingham. For the expenses of the celebration the town appropriated $500, which amount was increased at a later meeting to $1,500. Whatever more was expended came from profits on a souvenir issued by the committee and from private subscriptions.


The Work in Preparation.


The committee organized by the choice of J. M. Bassett, as chairman, E. H. Curtis, secretary and E. A. Maxfield, treasurer. Instead of the actual anniversary of the day of incorporation, May 21, it seemed wise to wait for the coming of our summer

townspeople, and observe the 20th and 21st days of July. As that season approached, the committee had numerous meetings at . the Town Hall and apportioned its work to sub-committees on sports, food, charge of school children, carriages and floats, printing, subscriptions, oration, programme, music, decoration, parade, salutes, regatta, fireworks, reception, invitation, Sunday exercises and banquet. Upon certain of these committees other citizens besides those on the general committee were asked to serve; and the chairman takes pleasure in saying, in behalf of his associates and of those who joined with us, that the marked success of our celebration was due to the diligent and painstaking efforts of all to whom responsibility was entrusted. A few of the committees, which had especially arduous duties assigned to them, it would be gratifying to name, only, where all were so heartily engaged, it would seem invidious. Let it suffice to speak down over the years and say to our successors in 1952, that the secret of success in observing an anniversary is in well planned, persistent and harmonious work.


Decorations.


For that our celebration was a success, creditable alike to the public spirit, and to the good taste of our people, was the testi- mony of our numerous visitors. "It was superb in conception and development " was one comment. The first assurance of this appeared in the tasteful decorations upon our public build- ings and on nearly all the private houses of our main thorough- fares from Lynn line to the Marblehead line, as well as upon many other streets. Three typical views, the Town Hall, our Public Park and the Swampscott Club House, which resembled the more elaborately decorated private houses, are worthy of being handed down, and so have been reproduced.


The Sunday Exercises.


The glad exercises began on Sunday. This day, as a Boston paper announced, " was fittingly selected for this purpose, for it afforded the people an opportunity to gather in the churches and offer prayers of thanksgiving for the prosperity of the town as well as for the comfort, well-being and happiness of its people." In all six churches there were appropriate services.

The general anniversary exercises were held in the afternoon, in the hall of the Phillips school. Notwithstanding unfavorable weather, a large and enthusiastic audience assembled. Special invitations had been given to the officials and the public organ- izations of the Town as well as to the aged citizens. Portraits of representative men, now deceased, had also been furnished at the request of the committee and graced the occasion. The chair- man of the Board of Selectmen presided and the program was as follows :

REPORT OF ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE.


1903]


The Grand Gala Day.


The long anticipated sunrise of Monday was ushered in by the ringing of town and church bells, and a salute of twenty guns by Belfield Battery. Music was furnished throughout the forenoon by two bands, at various parts of the town, and the time was devoted to sports and to boat racing. Another salute and bell ringing followed at 12 o'clock.


At 2 o'clock came the central feature of the day, the grand parade. People had assembled from all quarters, not only our own former residents who had come back to rejoice with us but strangers from city and country ; šo that upon a modest estimate 20,000 persons stood expectant along the line of march. The crowds can only be hinted at in the picture which we present of the head of the procession at the lower beach.


The order of march was as follows :


Chief marshal, John R. Merritt. Chief of staff, Capt. H. M. Comey. Mounted police under Chief Dunlap. Staff .- J. Paul Jackson, A. A. G. ; Granville Ingalls, A. Q. G. ; A. H. Rich, C. G .; Dr. A. F. Hunt, surgeon ; J. L. Taylor, engineer ; George T. Till, paymaster ; Ralph Russell, signal officer ; G. Herbert Goodridge, trumpeter ; fifty-seven mounted aids.


FIRST DIVISION.


Marshal, George, E. Gilbert. Stiles' Eighth Regiment Band. Eighty-ninth company coastguards (regulars). Bluejackets. Company I, 8th regiment, Lynn. Post 118, G. A. R., Swampscott. Women's Relief Corps of Swampscott, with float. Carriages containing present and former town officials and invited guests.


Swampscott Fire Department, with a delegation from the Fire Department of Lynn. Hand tub Atlantic.

SECOND . DIVISION. Lynn Brass Band. Harold C. Childs, Marshal. Twelve floats, handsomely decorated with red, white and blue bunting, containing several hundred school children.


THIRD DIVISION. Salem Brass Band. H. W. Bingham, Marshal.


Aids .- Morton Bunting, Carl Wiggin, Thomas Mack and Curtis Metzler.


Equestrians .- Henry Houghton, E. S. Gifford, Mr. Wetherald, Herbert Andrews and Master Ferguson.


Decorated coaches and driving carriages.


Starting from Railroad avenue the route was through Burrill, Humphrey and Orient streets and Atlantic avenue to the resi- dence of John Shepard, countermarching by Atlantic avenue and Humphrey street to Monument avenue. There the procession was reviewed and immediately disbanded at Andrew road. Thence the out-of-town organizations and the invited guests proceeded to Paradise road where a collation was served in a great tent, and the school children were taken to a pavilion on Town Hall green, to be served with cake and ice cream.


To speak adequately of the notable features of the parade is impossible within the limits of this report. The committee, however, wish to express their thanks to the military and naval organizations and the lodge and canton that came to us from abroad and added greatly to the occasion. To praise what our

own towwnspeople did were too much like self-adulation; but we may say that the beautiful scenic floats-one of which we have shown-arranged for the most part by the ladies, and the fine appearance of the hundreds of happy school children gave great pleasure to the spectators.


But the most noteworthy feature of all was what the above parade list disposes of in one modest line : " Decorated coaches and driving carriages." Here it is not modesty-for most of the participants were either summer residents or visitors - but ina- bilty to do the theme justice that curbs our praises. We must content ourselves with this quotation from the account of the Lynn Item: "H. W. Bingham had charge of the handsomest and most popular of all of the divisions. This was the coaching parade. The summer visitors had joined heart and hand with the town officials, and the result was one which charmed every- body who was privileged to see it. There were forty-four vehicles of different kinds and the decorations were not only very elaborate but in exquisite taste. It was the general opinion that nothing equal to this was ever seen in the New England States and the warmest thanks of all are due to those who exerted them- selves to the extent of making this feature so satisfactory."


Evening Exercises.


An adequate ending of so successful a celebration was not a little to expect, but it was fully achieved. After the sunset salute music was discoursed through the evening by the Lynn Brass Band, the Salem Brass Band and Stiles' Eighth Regiment Band. A grand fireworks display was given on the Stetson estate, near the State highway. To crown all a beautiful exhibition of marine fireworks, a boating carnival, appeared in the bay off Blaney's beach, provided by the Swampscott Club with funds raised by private subscription. The crowds which lined our shore to witness this unique display outnumbered even the multi- tude that witnessed the parade.


Banquet and Lieutenant Governor's Greeting.


While thousands were there engaged, another concluding fea- ture was the grand banquet at the New Ocean House. Here


198


TOWN DOCUMENTS.


[Feb. 20


some 250 persons had assembled, who, after a reception by the chairman of the banquet committee, E. W. Cobb, and invited guests, proceeded to the spacious and tastefully decorated dining hall. A sumptuous repast was followed by speaking befitting the dignity of the occasion. As the historical address on Sunday had shown that the founder of Swampscott was Deputy Governor John Humphrey, so now the Lieutenant Governor of the Com- monwealth, the Hon. John L. Bates presented in a felicitous manner, his own and Governor Crane's greetings to our towns- people. A poem by Senator Thomas F. Porter, a native of Swampscott, and addresses by Postmaster Howard K. Sanderson of Lynn, and Gen. Curtis Guild, Jr., now our lieutenant governor, were the other post-prandial exercises.


For the committee, JOSEPH M. BASSETT, Chairman.
