At nine different places in the Town there have been placed barrels with signs reading "Deposit waste here."
Forty-two street signs have been placed at different parts of the Town, showing the names of streets where placed.
Six signs reading "Automobiles look out for School Children" have been placed at points near the Hadley and Clarke schools.
There have been built, this year, eleven catch-basins. In connection with these basins there have been laid 37 feet of 6-inch pipe drain, 497 feet of 8-inch pipe drain, 32 feet of 10- inch pipe drain, 122 feet of 12-inch pipe drain and 172 feet of 15-inch pipe drain.
Gutters to the amount of 692 square yards have been paved with cobble-stone paving and two cross-walks have been laid.
For repairing and constructing sidewalks, the following amounts of material have been used : Six hundred and thirty- three loads of gravel and 174 loads of stone-dust.
Curbstone, to the amount of 896 feet, have been reset at different sections of the Town where needed.
Fences, to the extent of 126 feet, have been built at different culverts belonging to the Town.
Sand, to the amount of sixty-six loads, was used for sanding sidewalks.
Tar concrete sidewalks have been repaired wherever necessary. For this work 528.4 square yards of new tar concrete and 1,759.6 square yards of skim coat tar concrete were laid.
The price for new tar concrete was 45 cents per yard, and for skim coat tar concrete was 27 cents per yard.
Under the appropriation for continuous sidewalks, 2,030.7 linear feet of new curbstone were laid.
Corner curbstone amounting to 140.7 linear feet was laid at the corner of streets where most needed.
There has been added to the department equipment during the past year, a new "Erie" engine, bought of Perrin, Seamans Company of Boston. This engine is for use in connection with the stone crushing plant and ought to last for Town use for quite a number of years.
Under the special appropriation for cleaning brooks, same to be under the Board of Health, labor to be performed by the
213
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS' REPORT.
1913]
Highway Department, brooks as follows have been cleaned : Kings's Brook has been cleaned as far as the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks, and from Essex avenue to the Bay State Street Railway car barns, and from car barns to Hillside avenue; the brook running through the Pitman estate ; the brook at Humph- rey street from Roberts Express stable to the sewer pumping station ; the brook across Salem street to the brook at the Rowe estate. Where this brook crosses Harrison avenue (an unac- cepted street), I find that the culvert is entirely too small and ought to be enlarged. While cleaning the brook at Salem street I found that the culvert was built of cobble-stones with a waterway about eighteen inches square ; this has been entirely rebuilt, so as to make the culvert of a uniform width. The brook running from Pine street through private property and across Burrill street and Elmwood road and up the State Highway to Farragut road I found to be in a very bad condition, especially at the junction of Andrew road and the State Highway. At this point I found a dam nearly the whole size of the brook, which was caused by water and gas pipes run- ning through the centre of the brook. From this point were removed some nine loads of refuse material. These pipes, which were across the brook, have now been removed. Another source of trouble at this brook was found to be where property owners had narrowed up the channel, the brook being three feet wide at places and at other places only about eighteen inches. Another source of trouble was caused by property owners having the brook covered with railroad sleepers, and after a time these sleepers rot away and fall into the channel. Something ought to be done to have this brook confined to a channel of uniform width, from Farragut road to its junction with Stacey's brook.
There has been added to the department one pair of horses and one pung, which were transferred from the Fire Department. These horses and one pung are valued at $700.
I would recommend that the Town continue the cement con- crete paving, as constructed by the City of Lynn, from the Lynn line at Essex street to the freight yard on Essex street.
I would recommend that the Town relay the surface drain on Stetson avenue, substituting a 20-inch pipe for the present smaller one, and make an appropriation for the same.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL J. RYAN, Surveyor of Highways.

Report of the Board of Assessors.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
Your Board of Assessors has finished its duties for the year 1913.
The property assessed in Town' April 1, 1913, amounted to $13,202,915, a gain over the previous year (1912) of $815,009.
The personal property assessed in Town April 1, 1913, amounted to $3, 174,590. The personal property in Town fluc- tuates every year, and although most every year the Town makes a gain, the conditions for the next year are not very favorable for an increase. The Town April 1, 1913, had a real estate valua- tion of $10,028,325. Number of dwelling houses, 1,556. Num- ber of polls assessed, 1,775. These items increase every year. The tax rate this year per $1,000 was $16.40. This was 40 cents per $1,000 higher than 1912. The appropriations for the year, not bonded, amounted to $282,923.31. From this amount the Assessors deducted $52,707.50, estimated general receipts, and cash on hand, pro rata, from the various appropriations, and also $13,688, estimated department receipts from the appropria- tions of the departments.
The amount actually raised by taxation on the property amounted to $216,527.81 as per the following table :

Recommendations.
That a special appropriation of $150.00 be made for a map of the Town, with the various lots of land plotted in. This map is to take the place of the Assessors' map made in 1898, that is now of no use to the Assessors or citizens.
That the appropriation for the Board of Assessors for the year 1914 be $1,700.00, the same as for the year 1913.
That the by-laws of the Town be amended so as to read Sep- tember Ist instead of August Ist, for the time that the warrant for the collection of taxes for the year shall be placed in the hands of the Tax Collector by the Assessors.
The Board recommends this change, as it thinks it would be an advantage to the Town, in order to get all personal tax for the year possible.
In closing the Board would again urge on the citizens the im- portance of economical appropriations of money if the Town is going to keep a moderate rate on Taxes in the future.

Report of Overseers of the Poor.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Board of Overseers of the Poor submits the following report :
The past year has been an average one, and but for the fact that we had about $400 of 1912 bills to pay from this year's appropriation, the expenses would have been about $3,600.
Although more persons have been aided, the expenditure has not increased correspondingly, as in some cases we have been able to lessen the expense, thus balancing the increase.
The State has enacted new laws applying to dependent per- sons, and we have governed ourselves in all cases that are covered by this law, as prescribed.
We have no request to make of the Town, other than our annual appropriation. We would recommend that the Town appropriate the sum of $3,800 for the maintenance of the Poor Department for the ensuing year.
The Board extends thanks to all officials and citizens who have in any way assisted it in the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH F. CROWELL, Chairman. EDMUND RUSSELL, Secretary, WILLIAM H. CARROLL.

Report of Trustees of Public Library.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
During the past year the Trustees of the Library have not found it possible to provide for anything other than the usual routine work of the Library, and in the purchase of additional books to select only some of the current fiction most in demand.
Want of space in the present quarters for the Library is, and will be from now on, a serious handicap to any progress being made looking to better conditions or facilities.
It seems to the Trustees that the troublesome question in con- sidering an improvement in present conditions is that any change other than a new library does not seem to be wise, and that to provide a library building would mean the raising of a consid- erable sum of money, which, in view of the fact that the Town has had much to provide for in the last few years, necessitating raising large sums, may be a reason for postponement of the question of a new library and the consequent necessity of raising of a considerable sum for it.
Just at present a new Town Hall is being considered, and the Trustees have heard some suggestions for providing in the new hall a room for the use of the library. The Trustees desire to state in respect to such a plan that it is quite likely to add considerable cost to the hall and to prove in a short time inade- quate. Consequently, the Trustees recommend the citizens not to consider providing for the Library by giving it a room or even an ell in connection with a new Town Hall.
The circulation of books for the year has been 31,800. The Library now contains 13,340 volumes. The number of books purchased for the Library during the year was 384, and to the magazine list was added "Nautilus" and "Travel."
A number of books have been given to the Library, and the Trustees desire to express to the donors, Mrs. Eisemann, Mrs. Warren and Miss Smith, the thanks of the citizens.
The Trustees commend the good work of the Librarian and her assistants.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK F. STANLEY, FRANK E. INGALLS, Trustees of the Library.

AUTO HOSE AND PUMPING REPORT.
1913]
REPORT OF Auto Hose and Pumping Outfit Committee
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
At the Adjourned Meeting held February 18, 1913, it was voted that the Selectmen and Fire Engineers be a Committee to investigate the subject and to report upon the advisableness of the purchase of an Anto Hose and Pumping Outfit, and also upon the size and type best adapted for the use of the Town.
The report was made at a special town meeting held April 21, 1913, recommending the purchase of a six cylinder about one hundred horse power engine, capable of throwing at least 700 gallons of water per minute and of carrying 1,200 feet of 2} inch lead hose, as about what the Town would need. The report was accepted and adopted and the sum of $8,500 was appropriated, the same Committee being continued for its purchase.
Bids were advertised for and were received as follows : Knox Manufacturing Co., $8,500; Nott Fire Engine Co., $8,500 ; Robinson Manufacturing Co., $8,500 ; Eldridge Man- ufacturing Co. & Webb, $9,375 ; Seagrave Co., $11,000; American LaFrance Co., $8,500. Some of the bids were for smaller machines than were called for, and the contract was awarded to the American LaFrance Co. This company also built the Combination Chemical and Hose now in service at Phillips Beach, which has given good service to the Town and been satisfactory to the Fire Department during the past three years.
The delivery was somewhat delayed, owing to conditions at the factory that were unavoidable, but it finally arrived, and at a test given the following were the official figures. It will be seen that the pump far exceeded its capacity and the test was very pleasing to your Committee.

It has been placed in commission at the Central Fire Station on New Ocean Street, and we would say that it would seem as if the needs of the Town, so far as a Fire Engine was concerned, would be met for many years to come, and that the cost of main- tenance would be decreased.
There have been transferred to the Highway Department from the Fire Department, I pair horses, $500; I pung, $200; and sold for cash from same department, I pair horses, $300, in ac- cordance with power given the Committee.

WATER AND SEWERAGE REPORT.
1913]
Report of Water and Sewerage Board.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
We submit herewith for your consideration our 16th Annual Report.
The most important part of the work authorized by the Town during the year has been that at Galloupe's point, where we have laid about 1,800 feet of 6 inch and 8 inch iron pipe, and installed four hydrants, which now gives this section of the Town good water service and fire protection, which has been badly needed. We hope, in the near future, to be able to make a connection across private land to the pipes in the Lodge estate, which will give a complete circulation and better service to both estates. We have also laid about 450 feet of 6 inch iron pipe in Walker road, and made a connection to main pipe on State Road, near the stand-pipe. This will make better circulation of the water, and do away with much trouble caused by the two dead ends, which are thus done away with.
We believe the time has arrived when, in the interest of econ- omy, this Department should have a small motor truck. The upkeep of horse, wagons, pung, harnesses, etc., is no small amount annually, and we feel that quite a saving can be made by the use of a truck. Another reason is, in case of sudden demand of any nature, or in an emergency, the time gained in getting men to a job, and the saving of water in case of a break would be no small amount.
The work for the year, in detail follows :
