REPORT OF THE Trustees of Public Library


The shelves of our library on the main floor are now well filled with active books, and there is a noticeable improvement in the variety and assortment of class books, quite a number of which have been purchased during the past year.


We are still able to display the books without crowding and keep them readily accessible, by adding new shelves and obtaining some additional room by removing some of the older books to another part of the building. Some day we hope to see a stack room added to the main building extend- ing out on the rear land, ample to hold all our books together on one floor, and to provide for growth for many years to come.


The income from our trust funds, now amounting to $10,000, has enabled us during the past year to buy some of the more costly books, meaning books of value other than in the sense of money, which left our town funds free for the purchase of fiction.


The books that have come to us this year by gift have been notably good and valuable additions to the library, and we mention with pleasure that they were donated by Samuel H. Hollis, Robert Bruce, Charles Hobbs, Dr. Bangs and the estate of Mrs. George A. Jackson.


We take pleasure in announcing that Miss Lucy M. Eveleth, who early in the year resigned her position to enter the employ of a large corpor- ation to take charge of their cataloging of files and documents, has applied to be reinstated in her duties with us, and that we have accepted the application.


We have been assisted in the choice of vocational and other books of reference by lists submitted by teachers and others, and we take this occasion to state that such lists when presented will always receive most thoughtful attention.


The Librarian reports that the circulation of books for the past year was 52,975. This is a gain over the number loaned last year, and we are pleased to be able to report the fact.


The sums received for fees and dues, amounting to $270, exceeds the amount received last year. This sum also includes the receipts from the sale of old papers and books.


It is with much regret that we have occasion to announce the following letter of resignation from our co-trustee, Francis E. Ingalls.


MR. F. KEELER RICE,


Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Swampscott Public Library.


My dear Mr. Rice :


It is with deep regret that I inform you that I am obliged to resign on account of failing health from the Board of Trustees after a long service

of twenty-five years. I shall always watch withinterest the growth of the Library which will surely follow the growth of the town.


Trusting that the work will continue in a satisfactory manner, I remain Yours very truly,


FRANCIS E. INGALLS,


SWAMPSCOTT, January 14, 1921.


Mr. Ingalls has been a member of the Board of Trustees for many years, and of our long association with him we can speak most appreciatively, not only of the pleasure it has been to us personally, but of his very valu- able counsel in the conduct of the affairs of the board. Mr. Ingalls has been a good and faithful servant and is most deserving of, and we believe we are warranted in stating that he has the hearty thanks of all his fellow- citizens.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANK F. STANLEY, F. KEELER RICE,


Board of Library Trustees.

Report of the Surveyor of Highways


To the Citizens of Swampscott :


I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1920 :


Burrill street, from the wood-block pavement to Claremont terrace, was picked up by the steam roller, reshaped and resurfaced with six inches of No. I broken stone, bonded with Standard Asphalt Binder B, covered with pea stone and rolled. This street will have to be sealed. The gravel removed from this street was used in resurfacing Rock avenue, Superior street and the hill on Millett road.


Lincoln House avenue was lowered to grade and sidewalks built on both sides of the street.


There has been about one mile of street resurfaced with gravel.


On Forest avenue the filling was removed from the ledge, trees cut down to line, 259 cubic yards of ledge removed, sidewalks built part way and the filling and stone from ledge used in widening the street. As there is still considerable more work to be done on this street the town will have to make an appropriation to put it in safe condition this year.


All streets of the town have been patrolled continually this year, using tar and broken stone.


Streets where sewers or water pipes have been laid, of which there were several, have been leveled and gravel used for resurfacing and rolled with the steam roller.


Gutters in all streets of the town have been cleaned at least twice and the main streets every Saturday, weather permitting. The number of catch-basins cleaned, spring and fall, was 239.


Continuous Sidewalks.


The number of feet of curbstone laid has been 633. No granolithic has been laid this year, owing to the fact that the town has done no permanent work on sidewalks, the past three years, but it should make a start to do something the coming year.


Catch-basins.


There have been six catch-basins built this year. With this work there have been 60 feet 6 inch drain pipe laid, 317 feet 8 inch drain pipe laid and 70 feet of 10 inch.


Gutters have been treated with tar mixed with stone. About 900 square yards have been laid and 141 square yards of gutter paved with cobble- stones.


Sidewalks.


For repairing and resurfacing sidewalks the following amounts of material have been used : Loads coarse gravel, 154; loads screened gravel, 179; loads stone dust, 89; loads cinders, 192.


143


SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAY'S REPORT.


1920]


There were 407 feet of guard rail fence built this year. Concrete side- walks have been repaired to the extent of 1578.5 square yards at a cost of 70 cents a yard. Sand to the amount of 124 loads was used for sanding icy sidewalks.


Seal Coating.


This year there have been about four and one-half miles of street seal coated. In this work the road-bed has to be swept and cleaned, a coating of hot tar applied and covered with sand, pea stone and gravel.

The number of gallons of tar used on the streets for all purposes was 22,372. The prices paid were as follows : Barrett or Independent Tar Company heavy tar delivered and applied 15 cents per gallon. Lynn Gas & Electric Co., 150 barrels, at $4 per barrel.


The compound used for patching ranged in price from 19 to 21 cents per gallon.

[Dec. 31


Snow.


Owing to the heavy snow storms of last winter and the great amount of labor necessary to care for same, this department was put to more expense than it has for several years.


Recommendations.


I. That Essex street be put to grade and a cement pavement be laid from the freight yard to Salem line.


2. That Burrill street be put to grade and resurfaced.


3. Owing to the dangerous condition of Puritan road I would recom- mend that the same be straightened from Tupelo road to Phillips corner and resurfaced.


4. That the town appropriate the sum of $1,200 for street signs to be placed on the different streets of the town.


5. That the town appropriate the sum of $6,000 to finish the work to be done on Forest avenue.


Respectfully submitted,


MICHAEL J. RYAN, Surveyor of Highways.

WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD REPORT.


1920]


Report of Water and Sewerage Board


Water Department.


To the Citizens of Swampscott :


We submit herewith our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1920.


The amount of work called for this year has been greater than that of any since the town entered the Metropolitan District ir. 1909. Bonds to the amount of $25,000 have been issued, and this necessarily raises the water debt, it now standing at $152,330.14. Notwithstanding this, by the strictest economy during the past year, and an intention to work along the same line for the present year, we have been able to keep the water rates at the same figure as for the past few years.


The department has been handicapped to a great extent during the year by the embargo on railroad shipments. On April 16, 1920, the Warren Foundry and Machine Company of Phillipsburg, N. J., were awarded the contract for the necessary amount of cast iron pipe to complete the work authorized by the town, but owing to the embargo they were unable to make shipment until the last of July, and then only on application by this board to the proper government officials for a permit for a shipment of two cars on the ground that " it was required for school purposes." The balance of the order was not shipped until the embargo had been raised, and was received about the middle of November, too late to complete all of the work authorized. The 10-inch pipe in Burpee road, primarily to supply the new Machon school, we have carried to and connected with the present system in Mountain park, and by this means we get another feeding line to a large territory heretofore depending on a single line of 6-inch pipe for its supply. This second feeding line has accomplished a plan in the minds of the board for some years, and will, to a considerable extent, reduce the fire hazard in this thickly settled part of the town.


On receipt of the 6-inch pipe in November we started at once replacing old 2-inch pipes, which were so filled with rust and sediment that they were not equal to the requirements of the number of services drawing from them. Of this work, that in Bellevue road, Superior, Huron and Columbia streets have been completed, that in Belmont avenue and Mapledale place will be started as soon as possible in the spring.


The work in Aspen road and Magnolia road has gone as far as weather conditions will permit, and will also be completed in the spring.


The emergency fund has been drawn on during the year for a small piece of 2-inch pipe in Bellevue road, and 385 feet of 6-inch pipe in Orchard road at an expense of $1,353.82, leaving a balance on hand of $2,488.08.


We would recommend that all unexpended balances from 1920 work, when available, he turned into the emergency fund as has been done in the last few years.

146


TOWN DOCUMENTS.


[Dec. 31


We would recommend that the town authorize the board to lay a Io-inch pipe in Forest avenue from Redington street, about 1, 100 feet, to connect with the pipe now being laid in Aspen road.

Sewer Department.


The sewer work uncompleted at time of last report, as well as that authorized this year, has been completed, all within the appropriations with the exception of the Puritan road section. This, owing to unex- pected conditions, exceeded the engineer's estimate by $2,097. This was taken care of by transferring various unexpended balances from other work, under authority of the Finance Committee. There remains, however, a balance of $3,690.55 unexpended from Humphrey street and Burpee road appropriations, and this amount we recommend be transferred to an emergency fund under the same conditions as in the Water Department.


The pumping plant building has been painted, some repairs made, the lawn graded and seeded, and conditions there are now somewhat improved.


We recommend that $8,200 be appropriated for sewer maintenance and $500 for particular sewers.
