Article 31. To see if the town will vote to extend the sewer on Hemenway road for the distance of 360 feet and to appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by William L. Fay and others.


Examination of Hemenway road shows conditions which are a menace to the public health.

We recommend extension of the sewer on Hemenway road for the distance of about 360 feet, and the appropriation of $900 for the same.


Article 32. To see if the town will vote to extend the sewer in Bertha street for the distance of 150 feet and to appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by Charles H. Thomas and others.


Examination of Bertha street shows conditions to be deplorable. We recommend extension of the sewer on Bertha street for the distance of about 150 feet and the appropriation of $1,100 for the same.


Article 33. To see if the town will vote to continue the eastern intercepting sewer a distance of 2,000 feet, as petitioned for by Walter W. Johnson and others, and appropriate money for the same.


The town has practically reached its limit on sewer loans. If this appropriation is authorized it will be an addition to general debt. Furthermore, this amount will extend the sewer approximately to Palmer Pond, which will serve no one. No appropriation should be made until enough work can be authorized to reach some portion of the district to be served. We accordingly recommend that this article' be indefinitely postponed.


Articles 34 and 35. To see if the town will vote to lay a 6-inch water main in Orchard road for the distance of 450 feet and appro- priate money for the same, as petitioned for by Lowell E. Sprague and others.


To see if the town will vote to lay a. 6-inch water main in Palmer avenue for the distance of 750 feet and appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by Lowell E. Sprague and others.


We recommend that a 6-inch water main be laid under the above road for the distance of about 450 feet, also a 6-inch water main in Palmer avenue for the distance of about 750 feet, provided interest at the rate of 6 per cent. is paid on the investment until the water rates of the users equal the interest.


We recommend that a 6-inch water main be laid under the above conditions, and the sum of $2,800 be appropriated for the same, to be raised by bonds or notes of the town, the work to be done when in the descretion of the Water and Sewerage Board it becomes neces- sary.


Article. 36 To see if the town will authorize the Water and Sew- erage Board to lease the property on New Ocean street, known as the Pumping Station, for a term of five (5) years, as recommended by the Water and Sewerage Board.


This article is simply to authorize the Water and Sewerage Board to renew an existing lease for a time extending beyond the term of the board.


We recommend that the town authorize the Water and Sewerage Board to lease the property on New Ocean street, known as the Pumping Station for a term of five (5) years, as recommended by the Water and Sewerage Board.


Article 37. 'To see if the town will vote to accept Bristol avenue, so-called, as laid out by the Board of Selectmen, shown on a plan drawn by W. W. Pratt, Town Engineer, dated May, 1918, reported to the town at this meeting, as soon as waivers are signed, and appropriate money for the same.


Bristol avenue is about 400 feet long with a steep grade. Surface gutters and sidewalks are in bad condition. There is but one house on the street. It will cost $2,500 to put the street in condition. We recommend that the article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 38. To see if the town will vote to accept Banks terrace, so-called, as laid out by the Board of Selectmen, shown on a plan


28


TOWN DOCUMENTS.


[Dec. 31


drawn by W. W. Pratt, Town Engineer, dated May, 1918, reported to the town at this meeting, as soon as waivers are signed, and ap- propriate money for the same.


To accept Banks terrace will involve blasting ledges on both sides and building a ten-foot retaining wall for a considerable distance at an estimated cost of $7,000. The street is not in condition for acceptance.


We recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 39. To see if the town will vote to grade and resurface Greenwood avenue from Redington street to King street, as recom- mended by the Surveyor of Highways and appropriate money for the same.


Need for resurfacing Greenwood avenue is not pressing, and there seems to be no demand among the residents for putting this street to grade. We therefore recommend that this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 40. To see if the town will vote to remove ledge and re- surface Belmont avenue from Minerva street, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways, and appropriate money for the same.


Belmont avenue is an accepted street. Its condition is unsafe.


We recommend the appropriation of $2,000 for removing ledge and resurfacing Belmont avenue from Minerva street ..


Article 41. To see if the town will vote to replace broken corner curbstones on Humphrey street, and appropriate money for the same, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.


For the public safety, these broken corner curbstones should be replaced. As this is not new work, the cost should be charged to the appropriation of $2,000 for sidewalks and curbing under Article 28.


We recommend that the broken corner curbstones be replaced on the above basis.


Article 42. To see if the town will vote to construct a drain from Thomas road to the park land, a distance of 350 feet, and appropriate money for the same, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.


The drain called for by this article replaces an old drain which does not conform to the remainder of the system and causes repeated obstruction.


We recommend that a drain be constructed as asked in the above article and that the sum of $1,200 be appropriated for the same.


Article 43. To see if the town will vote to resurface Burrill street, from Paradise road to Essex street, in accordance with specifications of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and appropriate money for the same, as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.


This article, if adopted, would involve an expenditure of $23,500. We believe that this amount is too large to spend this year upon a street, most of which is in fair condition and no part of which is dangerous.


We recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 44. To see if the town will vote to resurface Salem street, from Humphrey street to Vinnin square, in accordance with speci- fications of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and appropriate money for the same.


While Salem street is one of the important highways of the town, we do not feel that with the present high cost of labor and materials, it is advisable to undertake construction of the magnitude proposed in this article, unless it appears that such construction cannot with safety be postponed. This article, if adopted, would involve $16,000 We are, however, informed by the Surveyor of Highways that Salem

street can be put into reasonably good condition by the expenditure of $2,000.


We recommend the appropriation of $2,000 for repairing Salem street from Humphrey street to Vinnin square.


Articles 45 and 46. To see if the town wil vote to rescind the vote taken at an adjourned meeting of the Annual Town Meeting held March 27, 1917, under Article 64 of the Warrant for said meeting, whereby it voted to appropriate the sum of $11,500, by issuing bonds or notes of the town, for the purpose of laying a concrete pavement on that part of Essex street from the easterly side or Burrill street to the Lynn line.


To see if the town will vote to lay a concrete pavement and curb both sides of that portion of Essex street, from the casterly side of Burrill street to the Lynn line, in accordance with specifications of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and to appropriate money for the same as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.


Essex street, in the portion named, has been and is in a deplorable condition for a main thoroughfare. The vote of March 27, 1917, con- templated the laying of a double track by the Bay State Street Railway. Under existing circumstances it seems improbable that this will be done. The committee is informed from several sources that it is probable that the Bay State will repair its present track. To do the work called for by the article, unless this were done, would require the town' to put the track to grade and repair it for the road. We accordingly recommend (1) that the vote taken at the adjourned Town Meeting of March 27, 1917, under article 64 of the Warrant be rescinded. (2) that $15,000 be appropriated to lay a concrete pavement on, and curb both sides of that portion of Essex street from the easterly side of Burrill street to the Lynn line, the work to be done in accordance with the specifications of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, the money to be raised by bonds or notes ot the town, provided, however, that the bonds or notes shall not be issued or the work started until the Board of Selectmen shall have secured from the Bay State Street Railway . Company, or its representative, or successor, an agreement in writ- ing to repair its present track and raise it to grade, using a type of rail and construction satisfactory to the board, all other public service corporations having rights on or under said portion of Essex street to be notified to install all contemplated and repair all exist- ing underground construction before the work is started, failing to do this they to be debarred from disturbing the pavement for at least ten years.


Article 47. To appropriate and raise, by borrowing or otherwise, such sum or sums of money as may be necessary for any or all of the purposes mentioned in the foregoing articles.


We recommend that, for the purposes specified in Articles 34 and 35, the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, be authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding twenty-eight hundred dollars, and to issue notes of the Town therefor; said notes to be issued and to be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of Chapter 719 of the Acts of 1913, and of Chapter 236 of the Actts of 1912, so that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than thirty years from the date of the issue of the first note, or at such earlier dates as the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen may determine. Such notes shall be denominated on the face thereor, Swampscott Additional Water Loan, Act of 1912.


We further recommend that, for the purposes specified in Article 46, the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, be authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars, and to issue

notes of the town therefor, said notes to be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of Chapter 719 of the Acts of 1913, so that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than ten years from the date of the issue of the first note, or at such earlier dates as the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, may determine.
