Return on the Warrant.
Pursuant to the within warrant to me directed, I have notified the legal voters of Swampscott, by posting attested copies of said warrant at the Town Hall, Post Offices, depots and three other public and conspicuous places in Swampscott, on Monday, September 27th, 1920, the posting of said notices being at least seven days before the time of said meeting.

Special Town Meeting, October 5, 1920.
In accordance with the foregoing warrant the voters assembled at the Town Hall on Tuesday, October 5, 1920.
The meeting was called to order by Daniel F. Knowlton, Moderator, who greeted the women voters assembled in Town Meeting for the first time with voting privileges.
The warrant calling the meeting and the return thereon was read immediately on calling to order by the moderator at eight o'clock, by George T. Till, Town Clerk, there being more than one hundred voters present.
The report of the Finance Committee was read by Harry D. Linscott, Chairman.
Report of Finance Committee on Articles in Warrant for Special Town Meeting Tuesday, October 5, 1920.
On the articles in aaid warrant calling for the appropriation of money, the Finance Committee reports as follows :
ARTICLE I.
To see if the town will vote to ratify, confirm and approve the votes passed at the adjourned annual town meeting, April 7, 1920, under Articles 41, 42, 43, 46 and 79, making appropriations for sewer construc- tion aggregating $13,000 and authorizing bonds or notes of the town in like amount, all conditioned on adoption by the General Court of Acts of 1920, Chapter 278, or take any action in relation thereto, and all acts done or performed under authority of said votes.
When this matter was under consideration at the adjourned annual meeting held April 7th, 1920, a bill was pending in the General Court permitting the town to borrow $100,000 in excess of the statutory limit for sewerage purposes. This bill, however, had not become a law when the vote was passed authorizing the borrowing of $13,000 as stated in the above article. It was decided, therefore, to have the appropriation con- ditional upon the adoption of this bill by the General Court, and a stipu- lation to accomplish this was incorporated in the vote. The act which is Chapter 278 of the Acts of 1920 has now become a law and it is necessary therefore, to pass a vote ratifying and confirming the action of the meeting authorizing this loan.
We accordingly recommend that the votes passed at the adjourned annual town meeting April 7, 1920, under Articles 41, 42, 43, 46 and 79, authorizing appropriations for sewer construction aggregating $13,000 and bonds or notes in like amount, conditioned on the adoption by the General Court of the Acts of 1920, chapter 278, and all acts done or per- formed under authority thereof, be and the same are hereby ratified, con- firmed and approved. Said appropriations are to be made and said bonds issued pursuant to the authority granted by said Acts of 1920, chapter 278, approved and in effect April 9, 1920.
ARTICLE III.
To see if the town will vote to accept Chapter 235 of the General Acts of 1920, entitled an Act relative to the payment of municipal employees, who served in the World War, the difference between their military and their municipal compensation.
65
TOWN CLERK'S RECORDS.
1920 ]
The town already has accepted Chapter 254 of the Acts of 1917, pro- viding that employees of the town who enlisted and served in the World War might receive the difference between their military and their muni- cipal compensation. Chapter 235 of the Acts of 1920 extends the previous act so as to apply to all such employees, whether enlisted, drafted or inducted in the service of the United States. The purpose of the act apparently is to eliminate any distinction between enlisted and drafted men.
We recommend its adoption.
ARTICLE IV.
To see if the town will vote to extend the Eastern Intercepting Sewer, and appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by Arthur W. Hughley et als.
We believe that in the near future the sewer system must be extended so as to care for such parts of the lower section of the town as are in most immediate need of it. To do this an appropriation of approximately $40,000 would be required. The work could not be done this winter, and we question the advisability of appropriating money until such time as work can be started. We recommend that the Water and Sewerage Board report at the next annual Town Meeting with reference to the necessity and cost of extending the sewer system in this section.
ARTICLE V.
To see if the town will vote to enclose Hawthorne brook, so called, in a conduit in accordance with a plan made by W. W. Pratt, Town Engineer, and appropriate money for the same, as recommended by the Board of Selectmen.
Because of the time it takes to advertise for bids, obtain material, etc., and of the approaching cold weather the work contemplated, if necessary, could not be performed before next spring or summer. A preliminary step however, would be the cleaning out the brook and the repair of any basins or culverts. At the last annual Town Meeting, the town appropriated $1,500 to repair the outfall of this brook. The work has been done and there is an unexpended balance from this appropriation of substantially $900. We are advised by the Water and Sewerage Board that this amount would be sufficient to clean out the brook and to put it in a condition which ought to take care of any immediate necessity. This can be done at once. This sum can be transferred for this purpose without action of the town, and the Finance Committee is ready to authorize its transfer conditional upon waivers being signed.
Accordingly we recommend that action under the foregoing article be indefinitely postponed.
ARTICLE VI.
To see if the town will vote to erect a suitable memorial for those who gave their lives in the World War, as provided in Chapter 292 of the General Acts of 1920, and appropriate money for the same, as recom- mended by the Board of Selectmen.
We believe that a suitable memorial should be provided. For such memorial, a native boulder, known as the Massachusetts Boulder, located off Danvers street, to be placed upon the Monument avenue lot, has been approved by the representatives of Leon E. Abbott Post, American Legion, and by the Board of Selectmen.
We recommend that said boulder, with a tablet, be erected and placed upon said lot, with a suitable foundation for the same, and that the sum of $500 be appropriated therefor, to be raised by notes or bonds of the town.
Henry S. Baldwin, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, has designed and had constructed a handsome bronze memorial tablet, appropriate for the purpose, which he offers as a gift to the town.
We recommend that the same be accepted by the town and placed upon said boulder.

66
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
As it is the desire of the American Legion and of the town officials that the memorial be dedicated with suitable exercises on Armistice Day, and that a general committee be appointed to take charge of the same, we recommend that a committee of ten. to consist of five members of Leon E. Abbott Post, American Legion, to be selected by that organization, the three members of the Board of Selectmen, and two citizens to be appointed by the Town Moderator, take charge of the dedication exercises.
ARTICLE VIII.
To see if the town will vote to lay a 6-inch water pipe in Capen road for a distance of about 300 feet, and appropriate money for same, as petitioned for by Frank Cogswell.
The Finance Committee has conferred with Mr. Cogswell upon this article, and upon his suggestion recommends that the article be indefinitely postponed.
ARTICLE X.
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 Article 6, which relates to the erection of a suitable memorial to those who gave their lives in the World War, that the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, be authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) and to issue bonds or notes of the town therefor. Said bonds or notes shall be signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by a majority of the Selectmen, and shall be issued and payable in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 14, of Chapter 719, of the Acts of 1913, and acts in amendment thereof and in addition thereto, so that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than twenty years from the date of the issue of the first bond or note or at such earlier dates as the treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, may determine. Such bonds or notes shall be denominated on the face thereof, " Swampscott Memorial Loan, 1920," and shall bear such rates of interest as may be fixed by the Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen.
