Article 9-We recommend that action on this article be indefin- itely postponed.


Article 11-In reference to this article, conditions after any ordinary rain storm are very bad, and when there have been occa- sional hard rains, the road becomes impassable, the Vorenburg pro- perty is flooded; and as a result of conferences last year over this situation, the Selectmen, with the advice of the Town Counsel, made a practical arrangement with Mr. Vorenburg whereby it was agreed that this condition should be remedied. We therefore recommend that the sum of thirty-eight hundred dollars ($3,800.00) be transferred from the Emergency Sewer Account for the purpose of laying a drain and building necessary catch-basins and manholes to take care of the surface water at Puritan road at Tupelo road and that further action on this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 12-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 13-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 14-It is obviously necessary to have the streets of the town properly designated by name with appropriate signs. We, therefore, recommend that the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) be appropriated for the purpose of this article, and that the Surveyor of Highways be given authority not only to replace broken street signs, but to erect street signs in those places where the signs are missing.


Article 15-There is a bad condition here which must be taken care of and which has resulted and may further result in considerable property damage unless a surface drain from Aspen road to Millett road is constructed. We, therefore, recommend that the sum of twen- ty-two hundred dollars ($2,200) be transferred from the Emergency Sewer Account for the purpose of laying the necessary drain when, however, all necessary easements have been granted to the town.


Article 16-Your committee has given careful consideration to the matter involved in this article, and we have considered it from every angle; but as our Town Engineer advises us that it is practi- cally impossible to remedy the situation without the expenditure of a prohibitive amount of money, we, therefore, recommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 17-We recommend that action on this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 18-We recommend that action on this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 19-Last year the committee recommended that a truck be purchased for this department, and we are more than ever con- vinced that if we are to expect the same efficient administration of


33


RECORDS OF TOWN CLERK


1932]


the Highway Department that we have had in the past, that there should be another truck. The Highway Department, at the present time, has only two five-ton trucks which are used in the winter as snow ploughs and for spreading sand. These trucks have been owned by the town for several years, and especially in view of the fact that we are not recommending the expenditure of practically any money for street construction, it becomes necessary that the High- way Department should be so equipped that it can at least have a sufficient number of trucks to keep the streets of the town in fair repair. If this truck is purchased, the Highway Department would have no occasion for anything more in that line for a number of years. We, therefore, recommend that the sum of thirty-three hun- dred dollars ($3,300) be appropriated for the purchase of a truck as recommended by the Surveyor of Highways.


Article 20-We recommend that action on this article be in- definitely postponed.


Articles 21 and 22-We recommend that Articles 21 and 22 be referred to the Planning Board to report to the town at the next an- nual town meeting.


Article 23-We recommend that the town authorize the Board of Selectmen to enter into a new contract with the Lynn Gas & Electric Co. for street lighting for a period not to exceed five years from the expiration of the present lighting contract on June 30, 1932.


Article 24-In this case the easements have actually been taken and must be paid for. We, therefore, recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars ($300) be transferred from the Emergency Sewer Fund for the purpose of paying for these easements.


Article 26-We recommend that the sum of sixteen hundred dol- lars ($1,600) be transferred from the Water Available Surplus for the purpose of laying a six inch water main in Hampden street, a distance of about seven hundred and fifty (750) feet.


Article 27-We recommend that the sum of fifteen hundred dol- lars ($1,500) be transferred from the Water Available Surplus for the purpose of laying a six inch water main in Berkshire street a distance of about seven hundred and twenty (720) feet.


Article 28-We recommend that the sum of five hundred fifty dollars ($550) be transferred from the Water Available Surplus for the purpose of laying a six inch water main in Bradlee avenue, a distance of about two hundred and eighty-five (285) feet.


Article 29-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 30-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 31-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 32-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 33-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 34-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 35-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 37-In reference to this article, it is the especial desire of the committee to fully acquaint the members of the town meeting with the facts involved.


While the pump which the town now owns, and has owned for about 19 years, is not as new and modern as we might desire, we: are convinced, having in mind all the probabilities, that the present


34


TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


pump, which has been well cared for and has performed excellent service in the past, will continue to give a good account of itself for at least another year and probably more.


On two occasions while in service it has stalled, but to the best of our knowledge and belief the cause of its stalling was nothing more or less than what might happen to any pump and was in every case probably due to some minor trouble which could easily be remedied.


On the other hand, the Board of Fire Engineers object to as- suming the responsibility of continuing to depend on the present pump as their first line of defense. The estimated cost of a new pump would be from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars.


Considering the situation from all angles, the Committee, in the interests of all possible economy, reluctantly recommend that further action on this article be indefinitely postponed.


Article 38-A short time ago a break occurred in the under- ground cable on Humphrey street so that a replacement became necessary. After several conferences with the Chief of the Fire De- partment and the Board of Fire Engineers, it was decided that the best plan of procedure would be to replace this cable with a 20 wire cable, thereby extending the new construction about 1,500 feet. We, therefore, recommend that the sum of five hundred sixty-five dollars ($565) be appropriated for the purpose of removing and replacing the broken cable.


Article 39-We recommend that the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) be appropriated for the purchase of four hundred feet of 11/2 inch hose and fittings.


Article 40-We recommend that the sum of four hundred ninety dollars ($490) be appropriated for the purchase of five hundred feet of 21/2 inch hose and fittings.


Article 41-We recommend that action on this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 44-At the time the vote was passed it was assumed that all easements had been or would be granted to the town and later it was found in order to complete this street it would be necessary to purchase from one of the residents, a portion of land involving a possible cost of several hundred dollars.


We recommend that the town vote to rescind the vote by which it accepted Commonwealth avenue as a public way.


Article 45-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 46-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 47-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 48-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 49-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 50-We recommend that the sum of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) be appropriated for the purpose of a suitable obser- vance of the Fourth of July, and that the Moderator be authorized to appoint a committee of three to conduct such observance.


Article 51-We recommend that action upon this article be in- definitely postponed.


Article 52-Last summer, under the guidance of a Swampscott women's organization, the lots enumerated in the article were used as a playground for the children in the section of the town where those lots are located. All the expense of operating the playground


1932]


RECORDS OF TOWN CLERK

and supplying the necessary equipment was paid for by the women's organization. The project proved so successful, that at the instance of this and other organizations, it was suggested that the town pur- chase the two lots at a price not to be in excess of one hundred twenty-five dollars ($125) per lot and that if this was done, the playground would continue to be operated without any expense to the town. We, therefore, recommend that the Selectmen be author- ized to purchase Lots 675 and 678 as shown on Assessors' Plan No. 11 at Windsor avenue Extension and Nichols street in Swampscott Highlands to be used for park purposes, but that the lots be used as a playground until such time as the Planning Board recommends a further development in this location for other purposes, and that the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) be appropriated there- for.
