Contributory Retirement Board


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


This is the sixth annual report of the Retirement Board.


The Board purchased additional securities in 1942. Its policy has been to choose bonds which yield a fair return-approximately three percent-stressing safety rather than a maximum yield. It will be noted, from the list appended at the end of the statement, that the selections are well diversified and represent high-grade invest- ments.


Though each year there has been an appreciable increase in the net assets of the fund, yet there has been a large amount of with- drawals-due principally to the resignation of women members.


There were no retirements in 1942.


One pensioner died: Carl J. Berry.


Two members of the system died: Henry J. Connell and James W. Libby.


Nine members have withdrawn and twenty-two new members have been accepted.

Board of Selectmen


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


Since the time this Country entered the Second World War, the paramount objective has been to attain Victory and to insure peace for all time. It is incumbent upon all public officials to do every- thing that lies within their power that will help to attain this objec- tive. In our own way, and to the fullest extent possible, we have endeavored to co-operate with the great and unparalleled war effort which has engaged and challenged the energy of this great nation.


As a part of the contribution of the Town of Swampscott to this cause, we have given approximately seven hundred of our sons and daughters, and to date, four have paid the supreme sacrifice. We have erected a Roll of Honor situated on the lawn of the Town Hall and are inserting in this Report a name list of all who have joined the armed services of the Nation. Additional names will be included as furnished by the local Draft Board and other sources.


Service on the home front has also indicated the true patriotism of our citizens, in that they have responded nobly to the call of their country; the numerous groups engaged in connection with Civilian Defense-Auxiliary Police, Auxiliary Firemen, Air Raid Wardens, Observers, Red Cross Workers and Emergency Workers, Committee Members, Local Draft Board, Report Center Staff, Women's Groups, and all others who have contributed so highly to this cause, testify to the splendid co-operation and spirit shown by all.


In passing, special mention should be made of the efficient work - prepared by School Teachers and members of the Swampscott


184


TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


Women's Club in connection with registration and other duties relat- ing to Rationing. Their voluntary service without publicity is worthy of high commendation.


There have been trials and hardships suffered by our people and many greater ones to come. The individual lives of us all will con- tinue to be affected and we must expect to accept all of these in a patient and co-operative manner and exert ourselves to the utmost for Victory. At the same time we must ever be vigilant to guard against public inefficiency and mismanagement.


Because of the great strain financially on our citizens, we feel that the tax burden should be eased to the fullest possible extent, and that accordingly all unnecessary expenses should be kept at a minimum.


Public Improvements


Within the past year improvements have been made in the town including the protection and safety of the public. With money which was appropriated at the Town Meeting, a new car was purchased for the Police Department and a new Fire Pumper was obtained for the Fire Department and was placed in commission on December 19, 1942. In addition our present protective forces have been aug- mented with Auxiliary Police and Firemen, and equipment for public safety and air raids.


The Board of Selectmen sponsored the resurfacing and seal coat- ing of Humphrey Street, from Marblehead line to Humphrey Square, under Chapter 90 for which funds were supplemented by the State and County. The work was done under the supervision of Timothy J. Ryan, Surveyor of Highways.


The Board also signed a contract with the War Materials, Inc., a subsidiary of the War Production Board, for the removal of the Street Car Rails on Essex Street. This work is expected to be done in the early months of 1943, and the Town will benefit by the removal of the rails and the Federal Government will obtain the steel for use in the war effort.


There is a need of more street signs and the Board suggests that this matter should be given consideration.


Federal Projects


The Federal Government during the year continued its program of aid to cities and towns through grants under the direction of the Works Progress Administration. Because materials were not obtain- able, the sidewalk construction program had to be curtailed this year.


The majority of W.P.A. work has been under the supervision of the Park Department in the improvement of our Parks.


The W.P.A. Recreational and Civilian Defense projects sponsored by the Board of Selectmen have continued to function and have ren- dered worthwhile service to the community.


As opportunities for employment in private industry have in- creased, the W.P.A. has felt a corresponding decline in the number employed.


At the time of this writing it is questionable how long the W.P.A. will continue to function and the Board recommends that funds be made available during the coming year to carry on the work started so that those now employed who are not able to find other employment may be assured of sustenance, either as a W.P.A. Project or Town Sponsored Project.

REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN


1942]


War Price and Rationing Board


One year ago a Rationing Board consisting of three members was appointed by the Board of Selectmen with the approval of the Office of Price Administration. The Rationing Board is under the full jurisdiction of the Federal Government.


Today the Rationing Board consists of fifteen members, divided into five panels who serve with no remuneration, and a regular staff of four employees whose wages are paid by the Federal Government. This Board began operations in an office in the Town Hall with a floor space of eighty square feet, and because of the voluminous amount of work entailed in the Rationing program, it was necessary for the Federal Government to lease larger quarters at 505 Hum- phrey Street, the rent of which is borne by the Federal Government.


Because rationing effects every person in the Town of Swamp- scott, it has been necessary for the town to supplement funds for the administration of this office.


The school teachers under the supervision of Frank L. Mansur, Superintendent of Schools, have given many hours of their time in the various registrations of rationing, while the members of the Committee of Public Safety and the Swampscott Women's Club un- der the leadership of Mrs. Peter O. Larson and Mrs. Carl M. Nowell, have worked daily with the Rationing Board Clerical Staff, and have contributed many hours of clerical work in order that their fellow citizens may be properly served.


We believe that the service rendered by the local Rationing Board and volunteers has not been excelled by any other board in the State, and the citizens should feel proud of the patriotic work rendered by the personnel of the fastest growing department in the town.

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


The Board wishes to commend Mr. Carl R. Perry, Chairman, War Savings Committee of Swampscott, for his efforts on the "Swampscott Bomber Campaign" and we are inserting in this report the following letter received from Mr. Perry.


January 21, 1943


Board of Selectmen Swampscott, Mass.


Gentlemen:


The "Swampscott Bomber Campaign" went over the top with a total of $210,107 worth of bonds (purchase price) sold between November 12th, to December 24th.


Every citizen in Swampscott did a wonderful job in this tribute to their boys in the service of our country and Swampscott is the first town in the country eligible to have its own Bomber in the air. The school children chose the name of "Swampscotta" which name will be stencilled on the plane and it will be privately christened by the United States Army. However, we will be sent photographs allowed by the Army for the townspeople to see.


I want to thank all the members of the Board of Select- men for the co-operation you gave in this effort. I also wish to thank Messrs. Frank Mansur, Lee Gray, and Howard Batchelder and other members of the School Department who worked so hard with Messrs. Charles Young, Joseph Maloney; and Miss Vera Gould and Mrs. Joseph L. Robbins, members of the Swampscott Women's Club, the Boy Scouts, and students from the High School who sold Bonds and Stamps to the many people who wanted a share in the "Swampscotta."


Thanks, also to Mr. John Holmes of the Poor Lumber Company for material for our big sign and to Mr. and Mrs. James Pedrick for their excellent sign painting.


Swampscott as a town not only leads in the field with its bomber but is also out in front in the display of Treasury Flags. Again, it is the first town in Massachusetts to have all schools flying it, including public, parochial, and private which means better than 90% of its teachers and pupils are buying bonds and stamps.


Swampscott has certainly gone all the way on the home front and I know you Selectmen are proud to be leaders in a town like Swampscott as we of the Lynn Five Cents Sav- ings Bank Officers and employees are glad to have the op- portunity of being issuing agents in Swampscott.


Let's all keep buying bonds to keep our bomber supplied with bombs to help get our boys home soon to their families.


Very truly yours,


CARL R. PERRY, Chairman, War Savings Committee, Swampscott.


All departments are thoroughly organized and all members have stood and stand ready to do whatever may be necessary to help in any incidents pertaining to the war or any extreme emergency which may arise.


Because of the war, conditions and effects on the American people are more seriously realized. The value of the citizenry who
