Repairs have been made on sidewalks where needed. Tar, as- phalt or concrete sidewalks on the following streets were repaired wholly or in part :- Ellis road, Pleasant street, Rockland street, Rose street, Mudge street, Cherry street, Highland street, Ocean View road, Huron street, Redington street, Burrill street, King street, Phillips avenue, Blaney street, Puritan avenue, Puritan Park and Nason road.
Both Fisherman and Whale beaches, the latter being in front of the New Ocean House, were cleaned every day from May 29 to September 5. Palmers beach was cleaned fifteen times during the season.
Burrill street, from the Boston & Maine bridge to the Monu- ment, Humphrey street from the Lynn line to Marshall street, were cleaned every day during the summer months.
Shoulders on Essex street and Atlantic avenue were reshaped three times during the year.
Three new catch basins were built on Hillside avenue, corner of Elliot street, and 150 feet of pipe laid from same to Stacy brook tc eliminate the floods on this street after heavy rains.
Catch basins have been cleaned twice a year and more often when needed.
Erie street, where the water used to stand after every rain, has been resurfaced with asphalt mixed top and condition remedied. One steel cable fence 120 feet long was erected on the sidewalk at a dangerous curve on Bay View drive.
Snow removal and sanding of slippery streets is of an emer- gency nature which cannot be definitely planned, but the depart- ment must be prepared. Snowfalls occur at any time of the day or night and vary in force. All trucks and the tractor of the depart- ment 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. Approximate- ly 800 yards of sand were used on sidewalks and icy streets this year.
New equipment has been added to the department as follows: three horses to take the place of those condemned because of old age and disease; one new five ton White truck as authorized by vote of the town meeting members.
The working force of the department consists of twenty-six men. This is two less than last year, owing to the retirement of Daniel J. Gannon and John Stone.
I recommend that the town finish resurfacing Farragut road with bituminous macadam from Ellis road to the State road.
At the rear of the Highway property located on the State road, a dangerous condition exists owing to a steep ledge being there, at the top of which a great many children play. The town should erect a fence here to save the possibility of a serious accident.
I wish to thank the members of the Board of Selectmen for the confidence placed in me by appointing me to carry on my father's work for the remainder of the town year, and sincerely hope that I have completed his year to their satisfaction. I wish to thank the members of the Highway Department and all others who have so kindly co-operated with me.
Respectfully submitted,
TIMOTHY J. RYAN.
Superintendent of Cemetery
To the Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my 21st annual report as Superintendent of the Swampscott Cemetery. Interments for the year 1936 numbered 80. The town has now for sale lots under perpetual care made pos- sible under a WPA project, and now has ample lots for years to come. Shrubs and trees were planted, lots marked out, and num- bered. All walks in the new completed portion were sprayed for weeds. Gravel was used on all roads where needed and all signs and gates were repainted. Three large trees had to be taken down, as they had become dangerous, the work being done by the town Tree Warden. The wood was given to needy families. New signs for all walks and avenues were purchased and will be ready for placing in the spring.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS HANDLEY,
Superintendent.
