TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
capitalization, it would seem to your Committee that this proposition should be given serious thought by the voters in passing upon this question.
In making our findings we have taken into consideration the amount of the Town debt, the present valuation of the Town, and the fact that the tax rate will be $16.80, which is more than it ever was in the history of the Town.
We are advised that the Bay State Street Railway Company is willing to do all the work within the double track location and bear all the expense that is usually called upon to bear in other towns or cities, and the people of the lower end of the Town and all along the line of the road will have the convenience of seven and one-half minute cars from Lynn to Roberts' turnout, which is twice the number they now have. There would be no delay at the car shed or at the Monument as at the present time.
We recommend that the sum of $15,000 be appropriated to construct the approaches, with the proviso that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pay for all the paving and that the Bay State Street Railway Co., pay for all the work within the location to be granted them, including subgrading, and that the money be raised by bonds or notes of the Town.
We recommend, that the following be fixed as the particulars of the bonds to be issued by the Town for the purpose set forth in the above report.
There shall be issued 10 notes or bonds of the Town for $2,000 each. They shall be dated during the current year. The first note or bond shall be payable in not more than one year from the date thereof and one note or bond shall be payable annually thereafter, so that the entire loan shall be extinguished in not more than 10 years from the date of the first note issued therefor. Said notes shall bear the Town Seal, shall be signed by the Town Treasurer and countersigned by a majority of the Selectmen, shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding four and one-half per centum (43%) per annum, payable semi-annually, and shall be certified by the Director of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics. The principal and interest shall be payable at the office of the Town Treasurer or at such Bank or Trust Company as the Town Treasurer and the Board of Selectmen may determine. Said notes shall bear upon their face the words, " Humphrey street widening additional loan of 1914," and shall be sold under the direction of the Town Treasurer and the Board of Selectmen.
All other particulars as to form, issuance and sale of said notes shall be determined by the Town Treasurer and the Board of Selectmen, but said notes shall not be sold for less than par and interest.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARENCE B. HUMPHREY,
ELIAS G. HODGKINS, AMOS R. LITTLE, WESTON K. LEWIS.
