The board finds that this is a provision adopted by most well-regulated towns and cities.
XVII. Zoning.
At the annual town meeting February, 1919, it was voted to accept what is now section 37 of chapter 82 of the General Laws, which provides for the establishment of building lines.
The matter was thoroughly investigated by the board and the town engineer and it developed that a great amount of work and many plans would be required. It also appeared that it would be necessary to act upon each street separately, obtaining waivers from all abutters, with consequent confusion and delay. It was therefore decided to investigate the so called zoning plan which has been adopted with apparent success by the towns of Brookline, Milton, and some others in the Commonwealth.
The zoning plan, briefly, provides that towns may establish certain sec- ·tions or zones from which commercial buildings and enterprises would be excluded, in order to protect the residential section of the town, in many parts of which restrictions have now expired.
This is a matter of great importance, particularly to a town like Swamp- scott, and the board, therefore, recommends that a committee shall be named at the annual meeting to investigate the working of the plan of zoning in other towns, and particularly with regard to Swampscott, which committee shall report at a later meeting.
XVIII. Fire Department.
Acting under the statute, the following board of fire engineers was ap- pointed on April 28, 1922: Thomas S. Leadbetter, George B. Learned, Harry E. Hardy.
XIX. Police Department.
The board records with deep sorrow the death of Chief Ulysses M. Corson on October 28. He served the town faithfully and well for a period of more than fifteen years, and the following resolutions were passed by the board and are hereby placed on permanent record:
"WHEREAS, Ulysses M. Corson, who for more than fifteen years served the Town of Swampscott as Chief of the Police Department, has been taken from our midst by the will of God, and
"WHEREAS, in his death the people of Swampscott have lost a faithful, loyal and sympathetic officer who always performed his full duty, temper- ing justice with mercy, and
"WHEREAS, by his death Swampscott has sustained an irreparable loss of one who made himself loved and respected by all, be it, therefore,

"RESOLVED, for the board and in behalf of the citizens of Swampscott, that these resolutions shall be spread on the permanent records of the town as a token of our appreciation of his life and service. And be it further
"RESOLVED, that a copy of these resolutions shall be suitably engrossed and sent to the widow of our late Chief of Police as a memorial of our esteem.

XX. Building Inspector.
Coleman M. Wood was appointed building inspector for the year 1922.
Stacey Brook Culvert.
During the past year another section of Stacey brook culvert, some 570 feet in length, has been constructed by the town, acting jointly with the city of Lynn. This is a part of a general plan adopted several years ago to abate a serious nuisance due to the pollution of the water of the brook by sewage flowing from the city of Lynn. The new section connects the parts already built under New Ocean street and Humphrey street, so that there is now a continuous culvert from the northerly side of New Ocean street to the sea.
At the last annual meeting the sum of $15,000.00 was appropriated for this purpose, with the understanding that Lynn would appropriate a similar amount. The board conferred with the mayor and commission on ways and drainage of Lynn, and the latter finally agreed to do its part, when the waivers and easements had been signed by abutters. This caused some delay, and it was not until August that proposals were advertised for the work, the following bids being received :
M. McDonough Co. $29,098 10
James Lyons
25,795 00
A. Barrufaldi
25,460 00
David Sheehan 22,780 00
Mayo Construction Co. 21,205 50
Mark Kelley Co.
19,028 00
The award was made to the Mark Kelley Company, of Peabody, the lowest bidders, and work was started on September 12.
It is gratifying to report that this bid was $11,972.00 lower than the original estimate. As the work progressed it was found that it would be necessary to use additional lumber on account of quicksand, and this, to- gether with some extra concrete and catch basins, increased the contract $1,219.06, making a total cost of $20,247.06. Of this sum $10,123.53 was paid by the town of Swampscott. This includes some advertising, which will later be paid by the city of Lynn. The total saving, therefore, as compared with the original estimate was $9,752.94. There is an un-
195

expended balance of $4,771.16, and the board recommends that this sum shall be held for further work on Stacey brook.
No serious difficulty was encountered, and the work was completed on December 14.
This is a matter which has been before the town for many years, and, in the opinion of the board, the work should be continued during the year 1923, jointly with the city of Lynn, and another section built, extending northerly from New Ocean street, a distance of 570 feet, to the Lynn cul- vert. It is estimated by W. W. Pratt, town engineer, that this will cost about $20,000.00, and the board recommends that the sum of $10,000.00 be appropriated for the purpose of constructing a culvert jointly with the city of Lynn, the expense to be borne in equal proportions, in accordance with the plans of Town Engineer W. W. Pratt and Engineer Vennard, of the city of Lynn.
FINANCE.
I. Town Accounting.
During the year two regular audits have been made by the Department of Corporations and Taxation, Division of Accounts, of all books of the town.
II. Town Debt.
The net debt for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1922, amounted to $721,828.46. This shows an increase of $7,531.54 during the year 1922.
