The rest of the play area of this park is in deplorable condition. Every load of fill that could be had has been sought out and obtained by the Park Department, but such haphazard filling can't create the available area into usable space.
Playground space is badly needed and here is a large area that can be made available by the expenditure of a little money.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Board of Selectmen
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
Herewith is submitted our report for the year ending December 31, 1939.
In view of the town being confronted with a considerable in- crease in the tax rate due to an unprecedented state deficit the Board of Selectmen on assuming office immediately devoted their time and effort to the study of budgets of all town departments coming under our jurisdiction in an endeavor to retain operating expenses at a minimum.
If the tax rate was to be kept at a minimum it was very essen- tial that the Board of Selectmen set an example of economy and before budgets were finally submitted for further consideration to the Finance Committee a detailed study was made of all expenditures. As a result of this review suggestions and recommendations submit- ted by the Board, and which when finally adopted by the Town Meeting, resulted in approximately $80,000 being made available to keep the tax rate down, or to put it another way, for every $1,000 of assessment to the citizens approximately $3.50 reduction was realized. This was accomplished by expense reductions, transfers from various idle accounts and articles inserted in the town war- rant. We are pleased to report it is the desire of the Board to again take the initiative and do everything possible to maintain if not re- duce the present tax rate.
Through co-operation with the Eastern Massachusetts Railway Company we secured the establishment of five cent fare zones throughout the town effective March 12, 1939 and at the present time we are endeavoring to obtain cross-town bus service.
During the past summer we found cause to protest to the Met- ropolitan District Commission regarding the kelp situation at King's Beach. Their co-operation in correcting this condition was secured.
A survey to assist in the reconstruction of the Essex Street Bridge has just been completed. It is planned to do this work under Federal appropriation as was the situation insofar as the recon- struction of the Paradise Road underpass was concerned. Although it is difficult for the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, under whose jurisdiction this work will be done, to give definite assurances as to when this project may begin, from what informa- tion there is available we feel that this bridge will be definitely reconstructed during either 1940 or 1941 providing the Town of Swampscott will appropriate a sum for land damages which should prove to be negligible when compared with the improvement in- volved.
Automobile Insurance
The Board of Selectmen received from the Commissioner of In- surance for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts notice of the pro- posed promulgation of higher insurance rates for the year 1940 on automobile liability insurance. The Board immediately investigated the matter and sent a formal protest to the Commissioner of Insur- ance. Also, the Board was represented in opposition to the rates at a public hearing held on the same in Boston.
According to the statistics of the Commissioner of Insurance for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the Town of Swampscott is charged with a higher rate on automobile liability insurance prin- cipally because of the fact that the claims for damages for personal injuries sustained as a result of automobile accidents, in which au- tomobiles garaged in the Town of Swampscott have been involved,
215
REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN
1939]
have materially increased for three consecutive years. Under the present system as used by the Commissioner it seems to be imma- terial that the Town of Swampscott for several years has had a splendid safety record in the town. It is also immaterial where the accident happened. The principal, if not the sole test, seems to be where the car was garaged, which was involved in or contributed to the accident.
We feel that the increased rates for 1940 are unfair to the town. Therefore we are taking definite and constructive steps to obtain a reduction for 1941. We are now having several insurance agents make a complete and exhaustive study of the technical insurance ta- bles and voluminous statistics involved in computing the rate. At the conclusion of this study and with the resultant figures and facts as- sembled, we intend to take up with the Commissioner, at an early date, the matter of the prospective rate for 1941. We hope this will be successful. If it is not successful, we intend to direct the Town Counsel to draft proposed amendments to the present law and we shall submit these to the next session of the Legislature.
We intend to do everything in our power to obtain lower auto- mobile insurance rates for the automobile owners of Swampscott.
Liquor Licenses
During the past year we had occasion to refuse an all alcoholic license on Humphrey street because we felt that the establishment was so close to the beach that it might have serious consequences in many ways; also that it might especially affect the safety and convenience of children using our beaches. An appeal was taken to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission at Boston from our de- cision in this matter. We instructed the Town Counsel to prepare and conduct the case before the Commission. After a hearing in which the Board and some interested citizens were witnesses in be- half of the Town, the Commission rendered a decision upholding the Board of Selectmen.
Fire Department
On July 1st, 1939, James Warnock, Chief of Fire Department, retired from active service having reached the compulsory retirement age. This vacancy was filled by the appointment of Deputy Chief Charles H. Lampard who headed the Civil Service List.
New rules and regulations have been drawn up and many changes have been made and we take pride in thanking the personnel for the fine work they have done in renovating the buildings to make the present quarters more presentable.
Police Department
As in past years, we have been confronted with serious traffic conditions during the summer season on Humphrey street, particu- larly that section adjacent to our town's beaches. At a conference held with the Park Commissioners during early August, the Board temporarily suspended the one-hour parking privilege on Humphrey street in the immediate vicinity of Blaney Beach for the duration of the bathing season between the hours of eight A.M. and five P.M.
This action met with immediate and universal favor; and, be- cause of its widespread approval we have requested the Chief of Police to submit recommendations so that relief of congestion in this area may be realized during 1940 for the duration of the entire beach season, at the same time having in mind that the merchants and business establishments should be given consideration in our plan which is being worked out.
The Board has instructed the Chief of Police to continue efforts towards elimination of speed on the thoroughfares of our town. Dur- ing the summer a police officer was detailed daily at Paradise Road

near Abbott Park for the safety of the large number of people util- izing this park for recreational purposes and to protect the great number of children who have to cross at this point. Other roads vigilantly patrolled were Essex and Humphrey streets.
Public Improvements
Under the supervision of Timothy J. Ryan, Surveyor of High- ways, a total of 3664 square yards of sidewalks were constructed and 4544.2 lineal feet of curbing were laid throughout the town in addition to the installation of many drains which will overcome cer- tain flood conditions.
As recommended in our report of last year, we still believe fa- vorable consideration should be accorded certain improvements at our fire stations, and that more satisfactory quarters be provided for members of the Fire Department. Although this proposal was adversely voted upon by the Town Meeting under Article 38 at the Annual Town Meeting of 1939, we strongly advocate favorable ac- tion at the Annual Town Meeting of 1940.
Definite action should be taken in the near future relative to the removal of car tracks on Humphrey street from Atlantic avenue to the Marblehead line. The work of resurfacing after removal of track could be done by our local highway department. We have as- surances from the County Commissioners that we will secure $2,000 from the State Highway Maintenance Fund to assist in the allevia- tion of this dangerous section. Consideration also should be given by the Town Meeting to the removal of all car tracks now existing in the town.
W. P. A.
During the summer months the Federal government enacted a ruling whereby those who have been employed for a sustained period of eighteen months were automatically dropped from the rolls for a thirty-day period. This affected many on our welfare rolls and nat- urally reduced our quota. Working hours were also extended from twenty-one to thirty hours per week, with no increase in wages. This resulted in our receiving more man hours of work per week thus completing projects current at that time expeditiously, necessitating our calling a special town meeting on December 5, 1939, to appro- priate funds for the continuation of W.P.A. projects until the Annual Town Meeting, to be held in March 1940.
We feel that one of the most advantageous projects now exist- ing in Swampscott is the Sidewalk Construction Program. Beginning in April and extending through October this project affords approx- imately 50 per cent saving to home-owners because of non-assess- ment of labor costs and the town benefits by tax levy on one-half of actual cost of material only. The entire cost for material is borne by the town originally but one-half is subsequently turned back to the town by abutters as above indicated. Drain projects during win- ter months are also beneficial and is about the only type of winter project that is advantageous to the town.
One of the most popular projects is the W.P.A. Recreational Project which is sponsored by the Board of Selectmen. Its facilities are enjoyed by both children and adults. During the year this pro- ject had a total attendance of 94,793 people and in addition to the headquarters on Humphrey street we were fortunate in securing the use of the high school gymnasium as well as Abbott Park, Jackson Park's field and tennis courts, and Phillips Park for recreational pur- poses.
We submit herewith a list of various activities supervised by the W.P.A. Recreational Project:

National Youth Administration
During this past year, we also inaugurated a National Youth Program giving employment to youths between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. Nearly all cost is assumed by the Federal Govern- ment. There have been as many as eighteen employed simultaneous- ly in various town departments. At present, there are eight boys and three girls employed. The following departments have utilized the service of youths under this program; namely, Park, Cemetery, Town Hall Custodian, Selectmen, W.P.A. Co-ordinator, High School and Fire Department.
We feel that this type of program should be encouraged because of negligible cost to the town as well as for the part-time employ- ment made available to youths unable to obtain steady work.
