This set up of contractor and sub-contractors, all of the highest reputation, insured full co-ordination of all agencies and the best ultimate results. Through- out the wisdom of this course was apparent.
All departments of the town co-operated with the committee to make a success of the enterprise. Particular mention should be made of the assistance given by the Engineering Department under W. W. Pratt, and the Highway Department, under M. J. Ryan, both in the laying out and construction of the foundation, and also the grading and walks.
The chairman undertook the duty of handling correspondence and de- tails of contracts, thus dispensing with the services of a general contractor with a substantial saving to the town. He also directed all designing and modelling subject to the approval of the committee.
The work proceeded during the summer and fall and was completed about the middle of November. In view of the importance of the undertaking, the committee deemed it unadvisable to hurry the work through at an earlier date.
As the honor roll and flag pole stand completed before the public a lenghtly description is unnecessary. However, it should be noted that the design through out is original and was developed by the chairman with the co-operation and approval of the committee.
The stone base is of Deer Island granite of massive construction resting on a reinforced concrete cement foundation. Upon the die of the base rests the bronze monument carrying the four tablets with the names of five hundred and thirteen Swampscott citizens who served in the World War. Directly above the granite is banded reed work denoting union; at each corner is a bold pilaster with native oak leaves in high relief, denoting strength and bravery; at the top of each pilaster is an eagle, denoting freedom; just behind the eagles is an oct- agonal die on which appear in four tablets the words Honor Roll World War. Resting on this die is a banded wreath of laurel, denoting victory; above the wreath is an ornamental band of acanthus leaf and water lily design; above is the bronze band that prevents water from flowing within the monument. The flag pole is of Douglas fir, 70 feet in length, with truck and ball at the top. It was supplied by the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company.
The walk around the lower base of the monument is at the same grade as the roadway at the northly side of the oval park. Owing to the natural down- ward grade of the road the monument appears at the proper level. There are two curved walks, one on each side quarter.

THE WORLD WAR HONOR ROLL
1935]
There is a P. W. A. project which has been approved, providing granite edge stones to be set around the park. This work will be carried out when the weather permits.
The ornamental electric light pole that formerly stood in the middle of the plot was moved to the parking at the north, and at the same time, the com- mittee arranged for underground conduits to be placed so that two additional ornamental lights can be placed in the parking flanking the Honor Roll on Elmwood road and Monument avenue.
When preliminary estimates were reviewed it appeared that the cost would somewhat exceed the appropriation. For this reason, the flag pole and flag were not included in the contract, the Chairman offering to advance the necessary funds, about $250, to complete the project as ordered by the town, in the belief that repayment would be made.
The Honor Roll Flag Pole was unveiled and dedicated December 1, in the presence of veterans and citizens. The exercises were preceded by a parade of veterans under Chief' Marshal Major George J. Place, with Ralph D. Merritt, Chief of Staff.
After the invocation had been pronounced by the Rev. Cornelius Buckley, the rituals of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion were read, followed by the unveiling by Commander Curtis D. Noyes of the Stevens Post, V. F. W. and Commander Joseph Hines, of the Leon E. Abbott Post, A. L. During the raising of the flag "To The Colors" was sounded by Lieutenant Eustis B. Grimes, D. S. C. staff bugler. The Rev. Edson G. Waterhouse pro- nounced the benediction. A short address was made by Henry S. Baldwin, chairman of the Honor Roll Committee, on behalf of the committee, and the memorial was formally presented to the town through the Board of Selectmen. Chairman Philip E. Bessom made a fitting response.
In concluding its duties the committee recommends the removal of high trees and shrubbery in front of the Honor Roll plot. Also that the plot itself be grassed over and a few low hemlocks or similar low shrubbery be set out not to detract from the monument or obstruct the view of traffic.
Honor Roll Committee,
HENRY S. BALDWIN, Chairman, RICHARD H. McNAMARA, BYRON H. PORTER.
Forest Warden
To the Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit the annual report of Forest Warden. This report covers conditions as I have found them since assuming office in November.
The records show that forty-eight brush and grass fires were attended, covering a total of thirty acres, and that but one of these fires reached a pro- portion so that outside help was needed.
The equipment of this department is obsolete, and I recommend that one dozen wire fire brooms be purchased to replace the old style straw brooms, and that four-hand pumps be purchased to replace the two old "two-man" pumps, which have proven both cumbersome and inefficient. As this depart- ment has the fine co-operation of the Fire Department and as the potential fire hazard is confined to grass fires, I thoroughly believe that the small expenditure for the above articles should adequately take care of any and all woods fire.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK C. BURK, Forest Warden.

REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
1935]
Surveyor of Highways
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
I herewith submit my annual report for the year of 1935:
All construction work this year has been done by contract. On Hum- phrey street, from the Monument to the junction of Puritan road, the wooden blocks were removed under the direction of State Highway Engineers and the roadway resurfaced with mixed asphalt top. The work was done by A. R. Doyle Inc. of Boston, the expense being borne one-half by the State and one- quarter by both the County and the town.
Monument avenue, westerly side, from Burrill street to the junction of Thomas road was resurfaced with bituminous macadam asphalt, the work be- ing done under contract by the M. McDonough Co. of Swampscott and Saugus.
Nason road and Aspen road, where sewers were laid, were reshaped and surfaced, the former with tarvia lithic and the latter with gravel and oiled with No. 6 asphalt road oil. Several streets have been reshaped and sealed with retread tar and sand.
Repairs have been made on sidewalks where needed and the following amounts of material used: 185 tons of stone dust and 126 loads of gravel. Two hundred twenty-seven yards of granolithic sidewalks were repaired. Tar or asphalt concrete sidewalks on the following streets were repaired either wholly or in part : State road, Ellis road, Middlesex avenue, Norfolk avenue, Orient court, Puritan road, Kensington lane, Aspen road, Woodbine avenue, Essex street, Andrew road, Hillside avenue, Elliot street, Eastman avenue, Crescent street, Humphrey street, Highland street, Mapledale place and Clarke road. I would recommend that the appropriation for sidewalk maintenance be increased.
Both Fisherman and Whale beaches, the latter being in front of the New Ocean House, were cleaned every day from May 28 to September 20. Palmers beach was cleaned eleven times during season.
Burrill street, from the State road to the Monument, Humphrey street from the Lynn line to Marshall street, were cleaned every day, Sundays in- cluded, during the summer months. Shoulders on Essex street and on Atlantic avenue were reshaped five times during the year. Several streets were treated with either tar or asphalt road oil and covered with sand. Two manholes were repaired and 104 feet of pipe drain laid. The number of feet of curbstone reset during the year was 146. Fifty-four driveway curbstones were lowered.
All catch basins on Stetson avenue from the Boston and Maine bridge to Essex street, have been rebuilt this year and one at the junction of Salem street and Tedesco road. All gutters and catch basins on all streets have been cleaned when needed. About 2000 yards of tarred and mixed stone has been laid in the gutters to prevent washing out. On Puritan road opposite the Little estate, where the water used to stand after every shower, it has been resurfaced with asphalt mixed top. The usual work of patrolling street surfaces has been done. Some 35,559 gallons of asphalt road oil and tar were used on the streets, the same being purchased under contract. The tar or oil applied on the streets was covered with sand.
Snow removal and sanding of slippery streets is of an emergency nature which cannot be definitely planned, but the department must be prepared. Snowfalls occur at any time of day or night and vary in force. All trucks and the tractor of the department are equipped with snow plow frames in the fall, to which the blades can be attached on short notice. At the first indication of snow, these blades are attached, so that the equipment can start as soon as necessary. All intersections, hills and curves must be covered with sand. The sand is treated with calcium chloride. Seven hundred and fifty yards of sand was used on sidewalks and icy streets this year.
New equipment has been added to the department as follows: one one- half bag mixer and one pair of horses, to take the place of two that died this year.
The working force of the department consists of twenty-eight men, same as last year.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
RECOMMENDATIONS
Owing to the condition of the roof of wooden buildings at the town yard, would recommend that they be repaired and that money be appropriated fo same.
That the town rebuild the iron pipe fence under the Boston and Maine bridge on Burrill street.
That the town build a fence on Bay View Drive.
That the town purchase the following equipment: one motor driven side- walk plow and one truck to take the place of one that has been in service for the past ten years.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL J. RYAN, Surveyor of Highways.
Tree Warden
To the Board of Selectmen :
In submitting this report, I may say that in general the trees of the town are in good condition, due to the fine care of the late Bernard B. Kennedy. There are, however, a few large cavities in several trees which were not treated be- cause of the lack of funds allowed to this department. Large cavities require a great deal of time, supplies and equipment, but when finished their aesthetic value alone can not be measured and the life of the tree has been indefinitely extended. Already one large cavity which was caused by a rot following light- ning damage many years ago, has been completely treated and another is in the process of treatment. We have, at the present time, a few expert tree men in the town who are receiving town aid. If these men were turned over to this de- partment to work on other cavities, it would be advantageous to the town and allow the regular men to go on with current work.
It has been noticeable within the past few months that many small shade trees have been damaged and some entirely killed by careless auto drivers and truck drivers. We sincerely hope that the citizens will co-operate with the department in being more careful of the small shade trees.
We are handicapped at the present time, due to the lack of a centralized location for the storage of equipment and the lack of a proper work shop. I recommend that the present shed, situated on the highway department prop- erty, be renovated to a two story building, so that the ground floor may be used as a garage and for storage of spraying equipment and that the second story be used as a workshop and storeroom for smaller equipment. A building of this type would serve a two-fold purpose of centralizing equipment and the saving of the expenditure of rent over a period of years.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK C. BURK, Tree Warden.

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
1935]
Moth Superintendent
To the Board of Selectmen:
After a careful survey of the town I submit this report as Moth Superin- tendent, in regard to the needs of this department as well as to the work done during the past year.
There does not seem to be any apparent damage done by insects, other than in a small concentrated area infected with silver maple cottony scale, which may readily be checked in the spring by the application of a miscible oil spray. The town has been well covered for gypsy moth clusters and a great many have been found and painted with a creosote compound.
There seems to have been a great deal of criticism concerning the spraying. The town is large for the present equipment, and it is my recommendation that the town purchase an additional sprayer. As the present auto truck is now badly in need of repair and as a large expenditure would be needed to put it in condition for daily use, I also recommend that a new truck be purchased, so that during the busy but short period allowed to spraying, we may keep two trucks and sprayers working and use the old truck only during this rush season. In this way the town may be covered effectively.
Respectfully,
FREDERICK C. BURK, Moth Superintendent.
Superintendent of Cemetery
To the Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my twentieth report as Superintendent of the Swamp- scott Cemetery. The number of interments for the year 1935 was 68. Thirty one lots were sold, all with perpetual care, and three lots were trans- ferred to perpetual care, the amount received being $5635.50, which was paid to the Treasurer and added to the Cemetery Lots fund.
I am glad to report that much of the new addition to the Cemetery has been completed, which will give us lots sufficient for many years to come. All new lots completed were numbered and plans prepared by the Town Engineer, showing the number and location of each lot. Trees were planted where needed and all walks were graveled where necessary. The Chapel was painted, also the tool shed and the Cemetery gates. The new addition adds greatly to the beauty of the Cemetery and everything in general has passed very favorably during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS HANDLEY, Superintendent.
