REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
1935]
Apparatus
Our apparatus is all in very good condition. Last July we placed in service at our Phillips Beach station a new 600 gallon triple combination Seagrave pumper, which has proved a valuable addition to our department.
Hose
We have in service 400 feet of 3-inch hose, 4000 feet 212 inch-hose, 750 feet of 11/2-inch hose and 600 feet of 34-inch hose all in good condition.
Fire Alarm System
There have been 101 alarms sounded by our fire alarm system during the past year.
The special appropriation of $3350 for fire alarm work made it possible for us to replace all of our old underground cables from box 36 Humphrey street, near the Ionic Club, to the Central Fire Station, also to lay new cables in Redington street, Paradise road and the Pine street connections. Two new boxes have been located, 511 Barnstable road, near Plymouth avenue, and 541 at Eastman and Fairview avenues. All of the circuits have been divided to guard against too many boxes being out of service at any one time in case of trouble. Unreliable bells have been replaced, and new batteries and rectifiers installed. This completes all necessary outside work.
We must now give our attention to the alarm apparatus located at the Central Station, which is very old and unreliable and located in an inflamable wooden building. We realize that to replace all this apparatus at once and place it in a small fire proof building would necessitate a larger expenditure of money than we think should be spent at one time. We therefore have decided to ask for an appropriation to replace about one half of this apparatus this year and build a fire proof building large enough to house the remainder when it is secured.
Remarks
The fire loss this year is somewhat greater than usual, on account of the Legion building fire and the loss at the summer home of Harry E. Noyes, Galloupes Point.
At both of these places the fire was not discovered until the interiors of these buildings were wholly involved, making it impossible to prevent heavy losses.
Drills nave been held regularly for the different companies in the depart- ment.
We have furnished speakers on fire prevention for the different schools of the town in observance of Fire Prevention Week.

Report of Town Engineer
To the Board of Selectmen :
I herewith submit my twenty-third annual report of the service rendered by the Engineering Department for the various departments during the year ending December 31, 1935.
The Engineering Department has had charge of the following lines of work; designing and superintending the construction of all sewers and drains; resurfacing of all streets built by contract, together with the specifications and estimates for the same; the establishing of street lines and the grade for curb- ing and granolithic sidewalks and all engineering questions which come before the boards of the several departments.
Sewer and Drains
The sewer system of the town has been extended in the following streets as an ERA project : Crossman avenue, Dale street, Sumner street, Stanley road and Linden avenue. The above streets have an assessed frontage of 5826 lin. feet the cost for materials etc. being $5724.94, one half of which is assessed to the abutters.
Aspen road, Nason road and Ocean avenue sewers with an assessed front- age of 1022 lin. feet were constructed by contract at a cost of $2718.68, one half of which is assessed to the abutters.
In section No. 3,223 lin. feet of particular sewers were constructed at a. cost of $244.95 and 828 lin. feet in section No. 4, ERA project, at a cost of $173.88 for materials. The total cost of these particular sewers are assessed to the abutters.
A surface water drain was constructed by ERA labor from Forest avenue to Sherwood road a distance of 650 feet at a cost of $1257.76; also a drain in Danvers road for a distance of 607 feet at a cost of $499.49.
Cemetery
The ERA and WPA labor has in the last two years excavated and refilled for burial purposes about 69,700 sq. feet of lot area graded, 57,600 sq. feet of avenues and 7500 sq. feet of planting area. Also constructed a rubble wall four feet high and 600 feet long on the Essex street and Capon road boundaries.
Resurfacing Roadway
The west side of Monument avenue from Burrill street to Thomas road, a distance of 900 feet, has been resurfaced with a permanent pavement, con- structed under the Massachusetts Department of Public Works specifications at a cost of $3957.31.
Assessors' Department
The yearly routine work necessary to bring the plans and card index up to date has been completed for this department.
Selectmen's Department
Data and estimates have been furnished for this department and plans submitted for their approval.
At the request of property owners street lines and grades have been given for grading lawns and building walls, etc.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Report of the Board of Assessors
We respectfully submit our annual report for the year 1935:
The total valuation, as of January 1, 1935, amounted to $23,376,299, a de- crease of $96,632 from the previous year (1934).
The value of real estate, January 1, 1935, was $22,135,642, a decrease of $122,245 from the previous year (1934).
The value of personal property, January 1, 1935, was $1,240,657, an in- crease of $25,613.
The total warrants on motor vehicle taxes for the year 1935 amounted to $31,160.69, an increase of $1809.62 over the previous year (1934).
The past year was the beginning of a new tax period, whereby all proper- ties were valued as of January 1st and taxes due on July 1st and October 1st.
· Elected town officials could easily be divided into two classes, first those who have the burden of levying and collecting of moneys due to be spent for the cost of government, and those who have the pleasure of spending the money thus collected.
In the first classification fall the assessors and the tax collector. These offi- cials coming in contact with the human side of this picture only, cannot be ex- pected to be of an optimistic turn of mind under present conditions. We ask the town meeting members and the finance committee to study this year's re- port, acquaint themselves with the town finances and to avoid, if possible, any jump in the tax rate exceeding $30 per $1000, as we believe this would seriously handicap the future development of the town.
Valuations
The town reached its highest valuation, including real and personal prop- erty, in 1932, in which year the amount was $23,819,561. With little or no new building and the usual loss in depreciation the valuation in 1935 dropped to $23,376,299, being a decrease in these years of $443,262.
We do not predict any increase for the coming year; in fact we anticipate a substantial reduction. In 1935, due to liabilities and appropriations as well as to loss of income, the amount of money to be raised and charged direct to taxation on real and personal property was $684,925.56, being larger than that raised in any previous year of the town for similar purposes, and being $51,156.43 more than was raised in 1934 on the same class of property.
The amount levied in 1935 upon the land, houses and personal property in town is divided as follows: Land contributes
Buildings contribute
Personal contributes
$199,408.50 449,165.81 36,351.25
Total
$684,925.56
State and County Taxes
The basis for State and County taxes for three years as provided for under chapter 58, section 10 of the General Laws is as follows :
Polls
Corporation Property
3304 $268,571
Valuations
27,268,571
Proportional part of each $1000-$3.69.
For the preceding three years the proportional part was $3.52.
The amounts furnished the assessors for the State assessments, the State tax and the County tax by the Tax Commissioner and used in determining the tax rate in advance of any action by the legislature were understood to be either more or less than the actual amounts which would be levied.
This year the amounts levied were in excess of the amounts used in fixing the tax rate to the extent of $4,813.61. We reported this fact to the finance committee and suggested this amount be transferred from the reserve fund, as it was money that should be properly charged up to the appropriation of 1935 and not carried forward and appropriated in 1936.

REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Revaluation
In 1932 we were able with the assistance of the board of Selectmen to set aside a small amount of morey from the welfare fund to give employment to a few men who measured and placed or cards previously prepared demensions of a large number of buildings in town.
The work stopped there, and although the data was used in part where questions arose as to valuations, the areas and contents were not altogether computed.
Through Mr. Sawyer, agent for the ERA, we suggested an assessors' project asking for an appropriation of $4,130 to complete this work, and this project is still pending.
We recommend an appropriation from this year's tax levy of $1000 to be used either in the supervision of this project or, in the event of the project it- self being rejected, to be used for carrying out the purposes of the project under our supervision.
A sample of the cards on which this data is to be tabulated are printed at the end of our report and would seem to be self explanatory to all interested in a revaluation of the town.
In presenting our budget for 1935 we recommended a special appropriation of $800 to carry out Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Town By Laws, which calls for the publication of the Valuation Book by the Assessors every fifth year.
This year we have asked for the same amount, and if the money is approp- riated the Valuation Book for 1936 will be compiled and printed.
Since 1929, when the Motor Excise Tax became law, the work in the office. of our board has steadily increased from year to year.
This condition is due to the various changes in the tax laws, the added de- tail required by the Tax Commissioner, the increasing amount of information demanded by the business public, together with the changed conditions, due: to the finarcial upheaval.
To give the tax payer and general public the service it is entitled to, we: recommend the chairman of the board be made a regular position and that $500 be added to our appropriation to cover the same.
This amount has been included in our budget for 1936, making our total appropriation for the Assessors' Department $5000 ..
