Caring for Police Prisoners


In accordance with the vote of the town the Selectmen made arrangements with the Mayor of the City of Lynn to care for prisoners who might be taken to the Lynn lockup, by agreeing to pay to the city the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) per year. This amount was paid into the City Treasury upon receipt of a bill dated Sept. 21 for "Use of jail and care of prisoners from Jan. 1, 1929, to Dec. 31, 1929," and the board has included in its budget for 1930 a similar amount to be used for the same purpose.


Town Hall Vault


During the year there has been built as an addition to the town hall a vault adjoining the offices of the Town Treasurer, Town Clerk and Collector of Taxes, providing fireproof storage for their valuable papers. The vault is divided by steel partitions with access from the two offices to the portion assigned to the officers named. The lower part of the vault is given over to the Town Engineer for the storage of the many valuable plans in his possession, entrance to this part being from the rear hall. The vault was constructed by E. C. Blanchard Co., under the direction of Architect Charles V. Burgess, as voted by the town. Each of the compartments has been fitted with steel shelves as required by law.

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


Whitman Road


In order to provide access to the new Stanley School from Orchard road, a road was laid out by the town and has been named Whitman road, in honor of Willard M. Whitman, for many years Superintendent of Schools of Swampscott. In order that the building of the school might not be interfered with, the work of laying a sewer, water pipes and underground conduits was delayed until late in the year, as the street required a great deal of blasting. In consequence the final sur- facing of the street was postponed until the spring of 1930. Ample opportunity to reach the new building was, however, provided. Curb- stones were laid on the westerly side of Orchard road up to the school lot, and next year it is planned to lay a granolithic sidewalk where these curbs were laid.


Tercentenary


As its part of the observance of the Tercentenary of the City of Lynn of which Swampscott was originally a part, the town, through its Tercentenary Committee and the school authorities, provided three floats, showing the seal of the town, the Ingalls tannery and the outdoor activities which the children enjoy.


A Distinguished Visitor


During the celebration of the Tercentenary the town was graced by the presence of Marchioness Gladys Townshend of Raynham Hall, Mayor of King's Lynn, England, who with her son, Marquis George, was domiciled at the New Ocean House. Her Ladyship produced a lasting impression upon all with whom she came in contact by the graciousness of her manner, especially toward the children, and her amiable consideration of those about her. The board feels that she will always be a welcome guest in the town of Swampscott.


Ramsdell Square


As a further memorial of the Tercentenary of the town, the board co-operated with Old Essex Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution in dedicating a memorial tablet in honor of Abednego Ramsdell, the first soldier of the Revolution from Swampscott to be killed at the Battle of Lexington. Young Ramsdell lived in the vicinity of Essex and Cherry streets, and it seemed eminently fitting to name this square in his honor. The S. A. R. organization provided the tablet and the various town departments, notably the Surveyor of Highways, Park Commission, Town Engineer and Selectmen, co-operated in making a«plot at the junction of the two streets which will always be an attractive setting for the boulder and tablet. The tablet was appro- priately dedicated by the Sons of the American Revolution on the afternoon of December 4.


Traffic Signals


As required by the Department of Public Works of the State the board installed another traffic light on Humphrey street, governing the entrance of vehicles to the main thoroughfare from Blaney street. In the spring another signal light will be installed governing the entrance from Ingalls terrace.


A so-called "McLean Lite" has been installed at the junction of Burrill and Essex streets. This signal, which is of the flashing type, has been on trial for the past three months and decision as to whether it meets the requirements or the claims of its makers will be deter- mined soon after the close of the year.


New Committee Room


A new room has been constructed on the second floor out of what was formerly used as a storage room for scenery and furniture, thus providing not only a committee room for the use of the finance com-

mittee, which heretofore has met in the office of the Water and Sewer- age Board, subject to the use of the same by that board and therefore precluding any Friday night sessions. The new room also serves as a commodious hearing room for the Selectmen, Board of Appeals or other boards and committees having occasion to hold hearings at which thirty or more people might be expected. The room has already proved its value. At the outset it seemed wise to restrict the use of this room to town business, and it has been used for no other purpose.


Unlighted Parking


Chapter 43 of the Acts of 1929, effective May 15, provided "that an automobile need display no light when parked within the limits of a way in a space in which unlighted parking is permitted by the rules or regulations of the board or officer having control of such way." Prior to the effective date of this new law the matter was discussed with the Chief of Police, who was requested to study the situation and report. He reported "that after careful study of the situation he could not see how lightless parking will benefit any Swampscott citizen, but on the other hand it will be very dangerous." It was, therefore, voted by the board to leave the matter as it is without change, the idea being not to allow parking without lights on any street in Swampscott.


Standard Oil Company Extension


During 1928 the Standard Oil Company expressed a desire to in- crease its storage capacity on Columbia street by the demolition of certain tanks and the erection of new ones. A public hearing was held, at which strong opposition was expressed. The matter was taken under advisement without prejudice. This year the company pressed for a decision and the board definitely decided not to grant any extension, but with the proviso that if any of the tanks are in need of repairs a permit will be granted to replace that tank with one of similar capacity.


Lynn Sand and Stone Co.


On April 26, the board held a conference with residents in the vicinity of the Lynn Sand and Stone Company relative to blasting and the board instructed the Chief of Police to make an investigation and report at the next meeting of the board.


The following Tuesday, conference was held at which the Chief of Police, Chief of the Fire Department and Town Counsel were present and the following letter, signed by all the members of the board, was sent to George C. Neal, State Fire Marshal, at the State House, Boston:


"The Board of Selectmen of Swampscott wish at this time to present to you our formal protest against the continuance of the blast- ing operations of the Lynn Sand and Stone Company. It has become an intense nuisance to many residents of the town.


"We are also forwarding to you new evidence of recent blasts. We call this to your attention, that you may take immediate action."


On May 10, the board received a letter from the State Fire Marshal acknowledging receipt of the board's protest and stating that he is preparing to take some decided action on the matter and has sent to the company for a statement of the number of blasts since Dec. 1, and the amount of dynamite used in each of said blasts.


Nothing further having been heard from the State Fire Marshal, on September 27 it was unanimously voted that the Town Counsel be authorized to take whatever action he deems necessary to stop the Lynn Sand and Stone Company from continuing business in the town of Swampscott.


On October 4 conference was held with the Town Counsel and Representative Harry E. Day of Salem relative to the action to be taken against the company.

The Board of Assessors


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


The Board of Assessors submit the following report for the year 1929. The property in the town assessed by the local assessors April 1, 1929, amounted to $22,609,112, a decrease over the previous year (1928) of $230,194.00. The decrease is caused by taking the automobiles from the personal property assessment. They are taxed under the new excise tax of this year.


The real estate valuation April 1, 1929, was $21,592,351, an increase over the previous year (1928) of $615,074. The valuation of personal estate assessed by the local assessors April 1, 1929, was $1,016,761, a decrease over the previous year (1928) of $845,268.


There was charged on the excise tax on automobiles for the year 1929, $50,204.43; the valuation of the same, $1,693,166. Allowing for abatements, the town will receive double the amount of taxes on autos than in 1928, when they were taxed as property.


The following tables show how the Assessors arrived at the tax rate:
