Brooks.


HAWTHORNE BROOK - A special committee was appointed by the Moderator to consider the question of improving Hawthorne brook, and a separate report is made elsewhere.


STACEY BROOK-After several conferences between the Board of Select- men and the Water and Sewerage Board of Swampscott, and the Mayor and Commissioner of Ways and Drainage of Lynn, the latter formally refused to proceed with the Stacey brook culvert on a joint basis. The Board, was, therefore, compelled to resort to legal action, and this is referred to in the report of the Town Counsel on page 187.


It is very important from the standpoint of health and safety that the entire brook be placed in a culvert at an early date, and particularly that a culvert be provided between the New Ocean street and Humphrey street sections of the culvert which were built a few years ago.


It is estimated by W. W. Pratt, Town Engineer, that the cost of this work will be about $28,000.00.


The Board, therefore, recommends an appropriation of $14,000.00, or - half the total amount, to be raised by notes or bonds of the town.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


1920]


Lot in Cemetery for Deceased Veterans of World War.


Cooperating with the Leon E. Abbott Post 57, American Legion, the Board of Selectmen decided to set aside the large, oval plot opposite the northerly entrance of the cemetery for the interment of deceased veterans of the World War. A vote to this effect was passed on May 5, 1920, and the plot was suitably planted with flowers before Memorial Day, May 30th.


Bounds Perambulated.


On September 30, the board, together with the Mayor and Council of the City of Lynn, and the Board of Selectmen of Marblehead perambulated the bounds of Swampscott, as provided by statute. It was pointed out by Town Engineer W. W. Pratt that the boundary monument at Danvers road is some 30 feet off the line, and it was decided to have it located correctly.


As a matter of record, the monument on Essex street is beneath the car track.


Concrete Steps, Ingalls Terrace.


The iron stairway connecting Ingalls terrace with Rockland street was erected by the town some sixteen years ago. Owing to exposure to the weather and long continued use, the iron work gradually became rusted and weakened so that there was serious danger of accidents. At the last annual meeting the town voted to replace the old iron construction with reënforced concrete. Suitable plans were prepared by W. W. Pratt, Town Engineer, and were approved by the board. Proposals were advertised and the following bids received.


Abram French D. J. Sheehan


$1,375 00


1,799 00


The contract was awarded to Abram French, the lower bidder.


The work was commenced during the summer and was completed in August.


Both the design and workmanship of this stairway are very creditable, and this improvement should afford a great convenience to the citizens of the neighborhood. The construction is of a lasting and permanent character.


Fire Department.


Acting under the statute, the following Board of Fire Engineers was appointed in May : Harry E. Hardy, Charles H. Cunningham, Thomas S. Leadbetter.


Police Department.


Owing to the general condition of unrest throughout the country and lawlessness in nearby cities and towns, the board decided to establish the position of Captain of Police Department, so that in the absence of the Chief there might be an officer in charge. The Civil Service Commission was requested to call for an examination. This was taken by Officers Eugene P. Brogan and James M. Kennedy. The former passed with a per- centage of 94.55 and the latter 81.02. Officer Brogan was, accordingly, appointed by the board to be Captain of the Police Department.

TOWN DOCUMENTS.


[Dec. 31


Frank P. Roach, who has been serving as an officer for about two years. was appointed a regular after passing the Civil Service examination.


A petition for an additional officer was received from the residents of Beach Bluff section, and arrangements were made by Chief of Police Corson, to comply with their request. Owing to shortage of patrolmen this left another part of the town without an officer at certain periods of the night. The board decided that this condition must be corrected promptly to insure the safety of life and property of our citizens. The Civil Service Commission was requested to furnish a certified list of officers, and submitted the names of Alfred L. Stimpson and Edward E. Horn. Both these men passed the examination creditably. Mr. Horn, while having the higher mark, did not care for the appointment at this time, and it was, therefor, given to Mr. Stimpson. Both of the new patrolmen served in the World War.


FINANCE. Town Accounting.


During the year two regular audits have been made by the State Bureau of Statistics of all books of the town, they being found correct.


Town Debt.


The net debt for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1920, amounted to $702,780.14. This shows an increase of $113,359.93, which is due to the erection of the Machon School building and the large expenditures on account of sewers and extension of water mains.
