Having given due consideration to the evidence presented at the hearing and having in mind the fact that the zoning laws were adopt- ed for the protection of the home owner, it is the opinion of the board that the re-zoning of this area for business purposes would constitute a hardship upon the home owners within the immediate vicinity. Further that it would tend to change the characterstics of the town which are essentially residential, and that it would not improve or promote the health, morals, or welfare of the inhabitants. Therefore, the Planning Board recommends that action on this arti- cle be indefinitely postponed.
Article 10. Complying with Chapter 269, section 27 of the Acts of 1933, a public hearing on this article was held on March 28, 1934, after due notice was given in the Daily Evening Item, a newspaper published in and having a general circulation in the town of Swamp- scott.
The petition is as follows: "To see if the town will vote to re- zone a certain lot of land on the southerly side of Paradise road about opposite Franklin avenue which is described as Lot 3 on Plate 15 of the Town Plan, so called, and which contains about 15,000 square feet, so that it may be used for business purposes as petit- ioned for by Fred L. Mower."
The subject matter of this petition and the evidence presented at the hearing has had the careful consideration of the board. The board has also taken into consideration the general character of the town as a whole, the character of the town as regards residential and business conditions, the occupation of its citizens, and the natural developement of the town in the future. Swampscott is exception- ally free from smoke, dust, dirt and noise. To change this area from a residential to a business district would not tend to improve or harmonize the natural developement of the town. It would, however, tend to decrease the value of the buildings in the vicinity.
Zoning is fundamentally based upon the protection of the home. To re-zone this area for business purposes would undoubtedly be detrimental to those persons who have built homes in this vicinity relying on the zoning laws for their protection.
Therefore the Planning Board recommends that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Special Town Meeting, October 19, 1934
Article No. 8. Complying with Chapter 269, Section 27 of the Acts of 1933, a public hearing on this article was held on October 10, 1934, after due notice was given in the Daily Evening Item, a newspaper published in and having a general circulation in the town of Swampscott.
This petition asks for the changing from residential to business area, the two parcels of land owned by Grace S. French described in the warrant; the first for use as a right of way, and the second for use as a gasoline filling station.
A similar article for the re-zoning of this property was before the town meeting of February 26, 1934, at which time the Planning
189
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
1934]
Board had no opportunity to hold a hearing and make recommenda- tions, and the article was unanimously adopted by the Town Meet- ing members. The action of this meeting was subsequently declared illegal, owing to the fact that the Planning Board was given no op- portunity to hold a public hearing on this article, as required by law.
Another similar petition in reference to the re-zoning of this property was again submitted at the Special Town Meeting of April 4, 1934. A, public hearing was held by the Planning Board and rec- ommendation made to the Town Meeting. This article called for the re-zoning of the entire property and the petitioner declared a use for only a small portion of the property, leaving approximately 30,000 square feet that the petitioner wished re-zoned for business, but declaring no specific business for this portion of the property.
Although the Board appreciated the fact that the petitioners were sincere in their request in asking for the re-zoning of the en- tire property, there was a question in the minds of the members of the Planning Board as to what future use the balance of the prop- erty might be put, under the classification of business purposes.
While the members felt that a possible hardship was being placed upon the petitioner, the Board felt that, in justice to the ab- butters, and the immediate property owners in this locality, it was duty-bound, owing to this uncertain use which could or might be made of the property, to recommend to the Town Meeting Members that action on the article be indefinitely postponed. Said recommen- dation was adopted by the Town Meeting.
Another petition was received as described in Article 8 of the present warrant, requesting a public hearing on the re-zoning of the portions of the French property described in this article.
The public hearing on the above was held October 10, 1934, the petitioner being represented by Mr. Underwood and the opposition by Mr. Mahoney. The Board finds on the evidence and a very thor- ough study of the locality, that this portion of Humphrey street consists mostly of property which is non-conforming.
The erection of this filling station and the consequent improve- ments to be made in the balance of the property will result in a substantial and definite benefit to all residents in this neighborhood. It is the duty of the Planning Board to improve and eliminate all blighted areas for the general welfare of the town. This particular piece of property is considered as such by this Board and we feel that the adoption of this article will make possible the removal of at least one blighted area. We do not feel that the re-zoning of these particular parcels of property will change materially the gen- eral character of the neighborhood nor will it tend in any way to deplete the value of the surrounding improved or unimproved prop- erty. This improvement will also react to increase the safety at this point inasmuch as the ledge now in evidence on the front of the property is a menace to traffic by virtue of the obstruction to view caused to motorists either on Humphrey street or to those entering Humphrey street from Glen road or Cardillo terrace.
Moreover, the general tone of this particular location is that of business rather than purely residential and it is possible that the continuance of a regulation that might be construed as unreasonable would appear to be discrimination and an abridgement of the rights of equal opportunity.
The petitioners have filed with this board an agreement which we incorporate into our report and file with the town. Relying up- on the condition of the fulfillment of this agreement, we recommend as follows:
It is the unanimous opinion of the board that the request, if granted by the town meeting, would tend to improve the safety,

health, convenience and welfare not only of this particular locality but of the town as a whole. We therefor recommend that this arti- cle be adopted.
Addenda
Agreement of Grace S. French and Essex Oil Co. to the Town.
We, Grace S. French and the Essex Oil Co., a corporation with a usual place of business in Swampscott, Mass., respectively the owner and prospective lessee of certain land on Humphrey street in said Swampscott, for the re-zoning of which an application is now pending before the Planning Board of said Swampscott and an arti- cle appears in the warrant for the town meeting to be held on the 19th day of October, 1934, jointly and severally covenant and agree, to and with said Planning Board and the inhabitants of said town of Swampscott, that if said Planning Board sees fit to report favor- ably upon said application and said town meeting votes to adopt said article, we will within four months of the date hereof make or cause to be made upon the land of the said French located on said Humphrey street lying in the rear of the premises described in said application and in said article, the following improvements, to wit: Build fence along northerly boundary; general grading of the entire lot; removal of all rubbish; removal of wooden outbuildings; no pigs to be kept on the premises after January 1, 1935; removal of en- tire ledge along Humphrey street to depth of thirty feet and to street grade.

Inspector of Animals
To the Board of Selectmen:
The following is a report of the work done during the past year. There was one general inspection made in the spring of all cat- tle, swine, sheep and goats together with an examination of the premises where these animals were kept.
There have been forty-seven so-called "dog-bite" cases reported this year, and in each case the dog has been quarantined for (14) days for observation.
There have been no contagious diseases reported.
Respectfully submitted, FRANK B. STRATTON, M.D.V., Inspector.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF CEMETERY
1934]
Report of Superintendent of Cemetery
To the Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen: I herewith submit my twentieth report as Superin- tendent of Swampscott Cemetery.
The number of interments for the year 1934 was 77.
Thirty single grave lots were completed and seeded. Each grave was numbered and marked with a cement marker. These single graves are selling rapidly. Several shrubs and trees were killed by the severe winter. These were removed and during the fall were re- placed where needed. Some one hundred new trees and shrubs have been planted on the new work nearly completed.
I would like to see the new lots, where markers have been placed and trees set out, completed as early as possible in the spring, as there is a great scarcity of available lots in the old section. The work is practically done and a very little finishing up will make these lots available. We need them at once.
Weed killer was used on all walks where needed and new gravel placed on the walks that required such attention.
The Andrews Memorial Chapel was used quite often during the year and continues to bear witness to the generosity of the donors. The floors of the chapel and seats therein were shellacked and waxed during the year.
The excessive rains of the fall caused many sunken graves and those under perpetual care were repaired without expense to the owners.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS HANDLEY, Superintendent.
Forest Warden
To the Board of Selectmen:
There was an increase in the number of forest fires during the year just closed, from 22 to 31, but none was of serious proportions. The number of permits issued for outdoor fires was 291 as against 248 the previous year.
Respectfully submitted,
BERNARD B. KENNEDY, Forest Warden.

[Dec. 31
Tree Warden
To the Board of Selectmen:
During the year 1934 the town has continued its policy of plant- ing new trees, not only where old trees have been removed but also in new locations where in later years the foliage will be desirable. Some 105 of these new trees which have been developed in the town nursery were placed as well as filling in the gaps made by the removal of twenty dead trees. Wherever low limbs have hung over the sidewalks, danger to pedestrians has been removed by cutting off these low hanging branches. Also all dangerous dead limbs have been removed in the interest of public safety.
The town has been fortunate in the care of its public shade trees, as there has been no injury to the trees by electric wires or damage from escaping gas. All cavities in trees and injuries to trees from any source have been treated. All tree guards have been looked over and adjustments made where needed, new wire being placed if necessary.
The leopard moth menace has been followed up and steps taken to prevent damage.
Respectfully submitted, BERNARD B. KENNEDY, Tree Warden.
Moth Superintendent
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith my report as moth superintendent and am pleased to state that there has been no trees defoliated during the past year caused by either the gypsy moth, the brown tail moth or the satin moth. The single exception was by tent caterpillars in a colony off Danvers street. We are now with the help of men who have been on the unemployed list, cutting down and burning the wild cherry trees which comprised this colony and with these out of the way we do not expect to be troubled this year with these pests. We believe that the Japanese Oriental Moth is now under control. A much less number of fall web worms have been noticed during the latter part of the year, an encouraging sign for the spring.
We have already started the work of creosoting egg clusters of the gypsy moth and cutting brush wherever nests would be likely to form. It would greatly improve the service of spraying if the town would purchase a smaller spraying machine for quick and special work.
Respectfully submitted, BERNARD B. KENNEDY, Moth Superintendent.
