Employment Data
Our employment bureau at the High School is functioning well under Mr. Batchelder, and demand for its services is increasing. Mr. Gray reports seventy calls received and twenty-four full-time placements made, in addition to numerous part-time placements. He further reports that of the one hundred and twenty-eight grad- uates in 1941, twenty-seven are in degree granting colleges, forty are in other schools, fifty-three are at work, six are at home, and two are in the army. Of seven who applied for admission to the General Electric Apprentice School, all passed the examinations and were admitted.
For several years we have permitted High School seniors in good standing to accept positions that seemed destined to be per- manent one month previous to graduation, and required them only to take the usual examinations without regular attendance in class over that period. This year the privilege was extended backwards to mid-April for all who were in a position to be graduated and who found places definitely in defense work.

Board of Appeals
Board of Selectmen, Swampscott, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The Board of Appeals submit herewith a report of business for the year of 1941.
RE: EDITH S. CHILDS, BATES AND SHELTON ROADS
At a special Town Meeting held May 9, 1939 an amendment to the Town by-laws was voted prescribing and affecting single resi- dence lot area regulations. Because of these regulations a building permit was refused the petitioner and an appeal from such refusal taken to this Board under the general statutory provisions and the further provisions of this by-law. A hearing was held October 31, 1940 and a decision denying the appeal was recorded with the Town Clerk, November 16, 1940. Prior to the recording of this decision, namely, November 14, 1940, the appellant filed an appeal in the Superior Court. The statute requires that such an appeal be filed "within fifteen days after such decision is recorded." De- spite this fact the court took jurisdiction and, after hearing at Sa- lem on January 13, 1941, reversed the decision of the Board of Ap- peals.
The by-law above referred to, so far as is pertinent to. this report, reads as follows:
"The Board of Appeals acting within the provisions of Gen- eral Laws, Chapter 40, Section 30 and amendments thereof or ad- ditions thereto may in specific cases make special exceptions to the terms of the foregoing provisions relative to lot area, in harmony with the general purpose and intent and in accordance with gen- eral or specific rules therein contained, either upon written appli- cation by the owner of a parcel of land affected by said regulations, or upon appeal, by authorizing the Building Inspector to grant a permit for the erection or placing of a dwelling house upon any lot containing less area than is hereby prescribed, subject to such limitation of time and other conditions as it may impose, when, after a public hearing, of which due notice shall be given, the Board shall find that:
a. Adjoining areas have previously been generally developed by the construction of houses on lots generally smaller than is pre- scribed by this section and the standard of the neighborhood so established does not reasonably require a sub-division of the appli- cant's land into lots as large as is hereby prescribed.
b. Lots as large as is hereby prescribed would not be readily saleable or economically or advantageously used for building pur- poses because of the proximity of the land to through ways bear- ing heavy traffic or to a railroad or because of other physical con- ditions or characteristics affecting it but not affecting generally the zoning district in which the land lies.
c. Such special exception may be made without substantial detriment to the public welfare and without substantial derogation from the purpose and intent of this by-law."
143
REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
1941]
Thus the Board of Appeals, to grant the relief sought, is obliged to find that all the conditions prescribed in sub-paragraphs a, b, and c, supra, are applicable and meet the exigencies of the particular case. The court, acting under the general provisions of the stat- ute, is not controlled by the limitations imposed by the by-law in question, and upon hearing the evidence, may make such decree "as justice and equity may require."
This is the first case under these circumstances to come before the Board of Appeals and it is felt that this by-law may cause un- necessary delay and hardship to the property owners in the town and that it should be either revised or repealed.
RE: ESSEX REALTY TRUST, 24 ESSEX STREET
Another case deserving special mention is that of the appeal of the Essex Realty Trust, M. R. Connolly, Trustee, from the re- fusal of the Board of Selectmen to permit the erection and main- tenance of a gasoline filling station on the premises at No. 24 Essex Street. At the hearing before this board, the appellant was rep- resented by counsel who introduced two witnesses in favor of the appeal. There were seven witnesses who appeared and spoke in opposition. In addition a petition requesting that the appeal be denied signed by sixty-six residents of the vicinity affected was presented to the board.
The Board denied the appeal and the appellant duly appealed this decision to the Superior Court. After six days hearing at Salem and Lawrence, at which the appellant and many witnesses who had appeared in opposition to the petition both before the Selectmen and this Board, were heard, the Superior Court reversed the decision of the Board of Appeals. Selectmen Buchanan and Byrne attended and testified at the hearings at Lawrence.
The case is noteworthy as being the first time this Board has been asked to reverse a decision of the Board of Selectmen.
Respectfully submitted,
CONRAD P. RICHARDSON, CHARLES V. ESTERBROOKS, C. GLOVER BOWES, Board of Appeals.
Surveyor of Highways
To the Citizens of Swampscott:

A new drain was laid using the following material: 360 feet of 12-inch reinforced concrete pipe, 26 feet of 4-inch pipe, 20 feet of 5-inch and 4 feet of 8-inch pipe. One new basin and two manholes were built.

145
REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS

man's Beach on Humphrey Street, Puritan Road, Highland and Rockland Streets, The Forty Steps and Banks Terrace were painted.
All streets in town were cleaned at least twice during the year and more often where needed.
In the fall of the year this department is very busy for about four weeks cleaning up the leaves which fall from the trees.
There are now about 600 catch basins in town. These are cleaned out at least three times a year with our catch basin digger.
During the months of June, July and August both Fisherman's Beach and Whales, the latter being in front of the New Ocean House, were cleaned every day. The beaches in front of the Beach Club and the Hotel Preston were cleaned when needed.
All the Highway buildings were painted. A new floor was laid and a new roof was put on the barn and an addition was added to the oil house.
New equipment bought this year included the following: coupe to take the place of 1934, one traded in, power lawn mower, type- writer, compressor, V plow, blade plow and sand spreader. Also two new horses were purchased to take the place of old ones.
Our snow fighting equipment includes: one 1927 5-ton, one 1936 5-ton and one 1940 5-ton White trucks, one 112 1934 Ford truck and one 5-ton tractor bought in 1927 and 3 sand spreaders. Al trucks are equipped with removable bladed plows and tractor has a V plow. We have a V plow that may be attached to any of our 3 large trucks and also 14 sidewalk plows which are horse drawn. At the yard there is 386 cubic yards of sand treated with calcium chloride to be used on slippery streets.
Snow fences this year were taken down in April and put up in December as follows: Salem Street, Crossman and Linden Avenues, Stanley and Sumner Roads, Dale Street and Dennison Avenue.
Our equipment was overhauled and tuned up as follows: 3 White and Ford trucks, three mixers, catch basin digger and the tractor.
CHAPTER 90
Under the heading of Chapter 90 work, the car tracks on Hum- phrey Street were covered over with hot top mix from the junction of Atlantic Avenue to Puritan Road down to Glen Road the full width of the street from curb to curb. The street was also covered the full width of the street from Commonwealth Avenue to the junction of Puritan Road and Humphrey Street at the Fish House end. From in front of the New Ocean House garage where we left off last year to Commonwealth Avenue just the car tracks were covered. The following was the work done and the materials used: 17 manholes and 9 catch basins raised to grade, 6 basins of the Eastern Mass. R. R. filled in between the rails, 125 feet of curbstone raised, 12 feet of curb lowered for driveways, 265 gallons kero- sine, 290 gallons of gasolene, 76 bags of cement, 1135 gallons of emulsion, 500 common bricks and 1188 tons of hot top mix.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
W.P.A.
W.P.A. projects under the supervision of the Surveyor of Highways were as follows: Under the heading of continuous side- walks and curbstone program the following streets had new curbs and sidewalks Isid: Erie Street and the material used included 287.77 linear feet of curbing and 178.17 square yards of type E mix.

I wish to recommend that the town purchase a 11g-ton truck to replace the 1934 Ford which is worn out and also to buy new street signs.
Respectfully submitted, TIMOTHY J. RYAN. Surveyor of Highways.
Superintendent of Cemetery
To the Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my 27th report as Superintendent of Swamp- scott Cemetery. .
Interments for the year 1941 numbered 70.
Lots were sold and the receipts turned over to the Collector of Taxes. Trees and shrubs were pruned and new ones planted that were called for. All walks and avenues were treated with weed kill- er, and resurfaced where needed. As usual our work is mowing and keeping the Cemetery as neat as possible. All things necessary were looked after and repaired where needed. Gates and signs were paint- ed. The Tomb was given a coat of whitewash inside, and painted out- side. The Andrews Chapel was used quite often.
We are getting short of single graves. I have spoken to the Town Engineer for a plan for more. The garage that was to be built by the W. P. A. cannot be built because of steel shortage.
Respectfully submitted.
THOMAS HANDLEY, Superintendent.

REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
1941]
Park Department
Abbott Park
This park continued to be the most popular spot for general playground activities.
Skating and hockey keep it occupied through the winter months.
Supervised children's activities, under the excellent supervision of the W.P.A. Recreational Project, and outdoor Badminton, again under the supervision of Recreational Project supervisors, make this park the center of playground work in the summer.
A new flagpole was installed at Abbott Park to replace the old pole which had rotted out at the foundation.
Blaney Beach
This reservation was crowded all summer as usual. In spite of crowds severely taxing the facilities of the beach, no major accidents marred the season and fine order was maintained. We feel that this is due to the fine work done by our lifeguard, Mr. Harold Boudreau and Patrolman Earl Gallup, assigned to us by Police Chief Reeves.
For the first time, a qualified First Aid Worker was in attend- ance at all times. Mr. Harold Atkinson, a Saugus Fireman, volun- teered his services and is to be congratulated on his excellent work. He was assisted by various Swampscott lady volunteers which made our First Aid Setup really efficient.
Many thanks also go to the Swampscott Lions Club for their fine community spirit in offering to equip and maintain the First Aid Room. They made a real contribution to the town and one that we hope will be continued in the future.
The retaining wall at this reservation needs rebuilding and a new guard rail for the parking space must be provided. Both of these jobs are listed under the General Park Project awaiting ap- proval and some material has already been bought.
Jackson Park
Two fireplaces and picnic tables were installed near the tennis courts late in the season and immediately became popular. More such fireplaces are planned, but the present war emergency may prevent the carrying out of our plans.
The approach to the Tennis Courts was partially landscaped with shrubs and annuals. Following a yearly schedule of such planting, more work of this nature will be done during 1942. Mr. Barrie M. White presented us with a fine large Ginkgo Tree which was planted at the entrance of this area.
A baseball scoreboard was erected at the request of the base- ball players. The baseball diamond was in constant use by the Softball and regular Baseball Leagues, and with the constantly in- creasing popularity of Softball, new playing space must be provided.
Regular baseball fans were provided with some fine exhibitions by the team representing Swampscott in the North Shore Park
148

[Dec. 31
League. Mr. Norman Shield, manager of the Fluffs, was most co- operative and produced a fine brand of baseball under considerably less than ideal conditions.
A new project sponsored by the W.P.A. Recreational Project and supervised by Mr. Henry Callahan, made its bow this year. A baseball school for young boys was organized and from this school came a Midget League playing a regular schedule all summer. Town business men, members of the Swampscott Business Men's Association, sponsored the teams in this league and provided jerseys and caps for the teams. The fine spirit shown by members of the Business Men's Association, the instructors and the boys, proved this Midget Baseball Project to be the best project ever to be placed on our playgrounds. This project must be continued and again additional play space must be provided to permit the younger boys to have the opportunity to learn and play under good supervision.
Phillips Park
A children's playground was installed during this past year and its constant use justified the expense.
Work continued on raising the grade of the portion of the park outside of the football field to make this great area available for more baseball fields and football practice areas.
