REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER
1932]
Report of Town Engineer
To the Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :- Herewith I submit my twentieth annual report of the service rendered by the Engineering Department for the various departments for the year ending December 31, 1932.
The Engineering Department has had charge of the following line of work: The designing and superintending the construction of all sewers and drains; resurfacing of all streets built by contract, to- gether with the specifications and estimates for the same; the establishing of street lines and the grades for curbing and granolith- ic sidewalks, and all engineering questions which come before the boards of the several departments.
Sewers and Drains
The sewer system of the town has been extended about 100 feet in Ocean View road which was an emergency case.
The surface water drainage in many portions of the town is very inadequate to carry off the water at flood times.
The relief for such flooded sections can only be obtained by re- locating old drains and connecting them with existing surface water drains.
Aspen road drain connected a low area in Aspen road, near Sar- gent road. It is located through private property to Ocean View road; thence to Millett road drain, a distance of 510 feet.
The Puritan road drain discontinued an old drain through pri- vate property. It began at Tupelo road extending westerly in Pur- itan road and way to the beach for a distance of 1178 feet.
Hawthorne brook between Salem street and Harrison avenue has been enclosed in a 30" concrete pipe, which greatly improves the existing conditions within this thickly populated district.
Addition to Sewer Pumping Station
The addition to the sewer pumping station consisted of a water proof concrete pump pit 12'x16'x16' feet, in which was installed two vertical non-clog Yeoman sewage pumps; also a brick superstructure over same.
The large pump has a capacity of 4500 g. p. m. against a head of 70 feet and the same impeller is also designed for 650 g. p. m. against a head of 50 feet.
The operating speed not in excess of 720 r. p. m.
The impeller of the above pump is solid bronze two-port non- clogging with unusually wide blades, capable of passing 8" diameter solids, rags, and similar material.
The small pump has a capacity of 2000 g. p. m. against a head of 35 feet, and operates at a speed not in excess of 720 r. p. m.
The specifications of the impeller of the unit is the same as the large type, except being smaller in size and capable of passing 5" diameter solids, etc.
Both pumps were given a very severe test, pumping ten weeks settlement of sludge from the sewage basin. On removing the hand holes in the pumps we found them free of all clogging material.
As the result of the test all screens in the old basin have been removed and all of the town's sewage has an unobstructed flow to the pumps.
124
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
The pumping capacity of both pumps show a ten per cent in- crease over their respective rating.
Assessors' Department
The yearly routine work necessary to bring the plans and card index up to date for the Assessors' Department have been completed. A new set of plans for this department are about complet- ed and will replace the present ones, which have been in use for more than ten years.
Selectmen's Department
Data and estimates have been furnished for the Selectmen's Department and plans submitted for their approval.
At the request of property owners, street lines and grades have been given for the grading of lawns and building walls, etc. Respectfully submitted, WALLACE W. PRATT, Town Engineer.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
1932]
Trustees of the Public Library
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The past year has witnessed a considerable increase in the use of the library. For instance, the reading of adult non-fiction was 36.5 per cent. greater, emphasizing anew the importance of the li- brary as a means of adult education. In fact, it is the only opportu- nity for such education that the town offers. The demand for adult education in Swampscott is growing, and the library will make every effort to meet it.
The greater use of the library by the children is indicated by the increase of fifteen per cent. in the circulation of juvenile non-fiction, and of 104 per cent. in the circulation of juvenile periodicals. The children's room has enabled the library to meet this need.
The Sunday attendance from November to May was slightly greater than last year-adults, 166; students, 242; a total of 408 as compared with adults, 138; students, 256; a total of 394.
There were 1918 books added to the library during the year, the largest number during any similar period.
The total circulation of books and magazines was 82,163, an in- crease of 15,437, or 23 per cent. over last year.
Gifts have been made to the library by the following persons: Misses Sally and Susan Smith, Mrs. Weston K. Lewis, Masters Law- rence Williams and Alden Sleeper, Mrs. N. R. Jones, Mr. J. T. Mc- Dermott, Mrs. George Graham, Dr. Marion Cowen Burrows, Rev. Carl A. Seaward, Mr. John Albree, Dr. C. H. Bangs, Mrs. William Mangan, Mrs. Emma F. Austin, Mr. Alfred Craig, Mr. H. C. Whitte- more, and the Swampscott Woman's Club.
