Recommendations.
I would respectfully recommend that an increase of $1 per week be added to the wages of the Town patrolmen, making the wages $3 per day, this being the general average wage in towns of this size in the Commonwealth.
Remarks.
The automobile Baker electric ambulance, which the Town purchased on November 1, 1912, and placed in commission November 15, 1912, having been in service thirteen months, has proven itself very satisfactory as to service rendered, econ- omy of up-keep, etc., and has covered the distance of 1,732 miles.
It does not require any special operator, as would a gasolene machine, as every patrolman is competent to operate it with safety. This factor alone saves the Town a considerable sum yearly.
It responds to all fires, but it has been our good fortune that it has not so far been needed for any accident at any alarm.
The ambulance has responded to 79 hospital calls during the year ; 30 police calls to convey prisoners to Lynn Police station for intoxication, and 39 calls for other crimes and misdemeanors. Five trips have also been taken to the State Hospital at Danvers with patients, for which the Town received $6 per trip, and also one trip to Boston, for which the Town received $10.
Comparative Costs.
The entire cost of maintaining the ambulance, including elec- tricity, power, supplies, tire maintenance, and one extra outer casing was $168.84, an average for the thirteen months of $12.98 per month.

TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
Under the former existing conditions of the horse drawn am- bulance, which carried a usual charge of $2.00 for horse hire for a hospital call, 79 calls would have amounted to $158 ; 69 con- veyances to Lynn Police station at $1.00 per call ,$69.00 ; storage for ambulance, $50.00. It will readily be seen that the horse drawn service for this year would have cost the town $277.00
Horse drawn service would have cost $277 00 Ambulance service for thirteen months cost 168 84
Amount saved for Town
$108 16
The ambulance also earned during this period 40 00
Total amount earned for Town $148 16
I also wish to tender thanks to the officials of the Lynn Court and the members of the Lynn Police Department, who have assisted in many ways during the past year.
I also wish to thank the officers of the Swampscott Police Department for their careful attention to duty, willingness and promptness in co-operating with me at all times in the discharge of their manifold duties and for the numberless extra services rendered.
I recommend that $10,800 be appropriated.
Respectfully submitted,
U. M. CORSON, Chief of Police.

Remarks.
The new pumping engine, Combination B, was put into ser- vice on December 7. It has answered 12 alarms, run 102 miles, including two out-of-town calls, where it was demonstrated to the public that it was all that could be desired, both for effciency and economy. The Board of Engineers think it is a decided improvement to the Department.
Conduits have been laid underground through New Ocean and Burrill Streets for all wires. We recommend the placing of our wires with proper outlets in said conduit and appropriate money for the same.
We have been notified that by the widening of Humphrey Street, our wires, with proper outlets, shall have to be placed underground. We recommend an appropriation for same.
In closing, we wish to extend thanks to the citizens and also the Police Department for courtesies in the past year and to the members of the Department for their ever ready service under all conditions.

SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH WORK REPORT.
1913]
REPORT OF Superintendent of Moth Work.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN :- The work of this department has been carried on by much the same methods as last year, except no tanglefoot was used. The results have been equally as satisfactory. The state did not furnish the Wilt disease this year and none was planted. However, there are spores of the natural Wilt in the woods and a wet season will propogate them on the Gypsy moth, and the disease will spread rapidly. There has been no trees defoliated the past season.
The late spring delayed spraying operations about two weeks, nevertheless the usual number of trees were sprayed with the best results. All property in the residential part of the town was cleaned during the winter months as usual. About eight acres of land at Jackson Park were cleared, also about five acres in the rear of Cedar Hill and ten acres between the State road and Essex street, where trees had been removed and the brush was left, making a refuge for moths. Ten large cavities in trees have been treated and filled with cement. Holes in trees on private property have been tinned over and old tins painted.
Three tons of arsenate of lead were used and less than a bar- rel of gypsene. The weather this fall being mild and pleasant has enabled us to have the street trees cleaned at this time and also considerable private property.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT P. MUDGE, Superintendent of Moth Work.

TOWN ENGINEER'S REPORT.
1913]
Report of the Town Engineer.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,-Herewith I submit my first annual report of the services performed for the various Town departments, by the Engineering Department for the nine months ending December 26, 1913.
Upon assuming the duties of Town Engineer, I found but little data which was available in locating the street lines defini- tely on the ground. This was due to the policy followed by the Town for some years past, in employing private concerns to make such surveys and layouts as might be required from time to time. Under this system, all the field notes and data become the private property of each engineer, and are only available for the Town work by courtesy.
I feel that all data of Town work should be filed in the Engineer's office for future reference, and I strongly advise that a triangulation and co-ordinate survey of all streets in the Town be made, and stone monuments be set at such points as may be deemed advisable.
This work has been begun and carried along at such times as other work did not require the full time of this office. We have nearly completed the field work in a section covering the territory lying between Humphrey Street, Salem Street, Marble- head Line and Phillips Beach, and the plans will be made as rapidly as the work of the office will permit. We have set forty stone monuments, each marked S. H. B. (Swampscott High- way Bound.) This has not only provided the Town with its own field notes and plans, but has established the points of loca- tion of the streets on the ground. In this way future confusion of street lines will be avoided.
In the laying out of streets an official "curb grade" should be established at the time of layout. In order to do this, all grades should be referred to a common base. Heretofore, different bases seem to have been used, and to avoid any complications in the future, a base has been established, to be known as the
10
146
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
"Swampscott Base," (mean high water elevation 9.54) which is identical with the "Lynn Base."
A set of precise levels has been run and benches established, referred to this base, from the Lynn line to the Marblehead line.
Assessors' Department.
Corrections have been made on the plans and tracings of the Assessors' Department and with a small additional expense they will be corrected to April 1, 1913.
Continuous Sidewalks.
Lines and grades have been given for 2030.7 linear feet of new curbstones which has been set by the Highway Depart- ment, in the various streets as designated by the Board of Selectmen.
This required a very careful study of street grades, not only between the points of the actual location, but also in relation to any intersecting streets, in order that at some future time as the work may progress, both the curb and granolithic walks would present a true grade to the observer.
Also lines and grades for 140.7 linear feet of new curbstones, which were set at the various street corners by the Highway Department.
The granolithic sidewalks, amounting to 1472.2 square yards, have been laid, under the required specifications, by M. McDonough Company.
Also 4149 square feet of parking have been laid by the same company.
New tar sidewalks, amounting to 1452.7 square yards, have been laid by J. H. McLaughlin.
Cemetery.
A grading plan for the improvement of the Cemetery has been made and work completed according to the specifications in the contract. It was only possible, with the appropriation available, to complete a portion of the area shown on the plan.
Selectmen's Department.
Data has been furnished, at various times, for use in the Selectmen's Department and plans have been submitted for their approval.
