Board of Fire Engineers' Report


To the Board of Selectmen:


The Board of Fire Engineers and the Chief of Department sub- mit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1942.


Important Notice


Co-operation of the citizens with the Fire Department is in- valuable and can be most effective at the moment of discovery of fire. The quickest and most reliable way to aid in saving persons and property is to SOUND THE NEAREST FIRE ALARM BOX AND STAND BY TO DIRECT THE APPARATUS TO THE FIRE. If the telephone must be used, dial "OPERATOR," say "EMER- GENCY FIRE," give the address and telephone number and state that it is in SWAMPSCOTT.

Personnel


Captain Fred T. J. McNamara died suddenly at his home on July 23 after thirty-three years of active service. He was appointed a fireman in 1909, promoted to captain in 1919 and also served as motor supervisor. Captain McNamara's years of experience were of much value and his passing was a distinct loss to the Department.


During 1942, the following appointments were made under Civil Service, in every instance from the top of the eligible lists:


Fireman Walter M. Champion, Jr., to Captain on May 1.


Fireman Charles L. Stover to Captain on August 4.


Roy N. Johansen to Permanent Fireman on August 4.


Arnold L. Spediacci to Military Substitute Fireman on August 18. William J. Pratt, Arnold L. Spediacci and John R. Maitland were appointed Permanent Intermittent Firemen on August 11.


All of these appointments were made to fill vacancies in the permanent force.


Captain Champion, Jr., and Fireman Pagano were granted leaves of absence in December to enter the armed forces of the United States, creating two vacancies in the permanent force which were unfilled at the end of the year.


Serving in the Armed Forces of the United States


Captain Walter M. Champion, Jr., Navy Fireman Carl J. Pagano, Army


Fireman Roy N. Johansen, Army


Apparatus and Equipment


We have three triple combination pumpers-1000 GPM Sea- graves, 600 GPM Seagraves and 500 GPM Waterous, one city service ladder truck, one fire alarm truck and the Chief's car in active service. In reserve, we have old Engine 3 equipped with a 300 GPM pump and Combination 2 as auxiliary apparatus.


The 500 GPM Waterous is the new apparatus, purchased from the Public Safety appropriation of December 30, 1941. It was built by the Wood Engineering Service of Topsfield, Mass., using a 100 H.P. Ford Mercury engine and chassis. This pumper was placed in active service at the Central Station on December 19.


Each piece of apparatus in active service is fully supplied with basic and supplementary equipment.


Buildings


A special appropriation of $500 was voted at the 1942 Town Meeting for the purpose of making repairs at the Phillips Beach Station. As this amount was deemed inadequate to cover the cost of a thorough job, we confined our expenditure to those matters where continued neglect would cause greater expense in the end. Accordingly the sum of only $138 was expended for new permanent roofing on two sections, leaving a balance of $362 which we propose to expend in connection with regular maintenance as the necessity arrives and where permanent benefit can be derived. The heater at Phillips Beach was converted from oil to coal on November 19. Double windows, door and weather stripping were installed.


The interior of the Central Station, except the repair section, was painted, individual lockers installed, office relocated, and double windows added where most needed. All the labor was performed by the department personnel as regular maintenance with the result that a great improvement has been effected at small cost to the Town. Arrangement was made to convert the heater from oil to coal as soon as the necessary materials could be obtained. This conversion is expected to be accomplished early in 1943.

BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS


1942]


Auxiliary Personnel


Under the direction of Auxiliary Chief Roy F. Olson and his Deputies, John H. Blodgett and Winthrop M. Sears, an outstanding auxiliary fire force of fifty trained and fully equipped men has been created during this year. While this is primarily a Civilian Defense organization, it would, of course, be called on when, as or if our regular force plus mutual aid were deemed insufficient, whatever the cause of the disaster. Fireman Thompson has acted as drill master and the auxiliary force has become proficient in its duties, receiving the commendation of all those who have observed it in practice. Auxiliary Chief Olson has been tireless in procuring extensive equip- ment and developing this auxiliary force in a most business like man- ner, entirely as a volunteer and as a public service to the community.


Fire Prevention, First Aid and Drills


Many inspections in the interest of fire prevention have been conducted. The ready co-operation of owners and tenants, in remedy- ing undesirable conditions, has been general and appreciated. Chap- ter 148 of the General Laws provides for this indispensable service in the Commonwealth. Certain requirements in respect to fires, the prevention of fires and fire hazards were formerly left to the Head of the local Fire Department. Since March 11, 1942, mandatory regulations apply to these matters and, as such, must be enforced by us. Recent events have removed all doubt as to the real need for vigilant fire inspections.


Fireman Thompson has continued to maintain an efficient First Aid section. Numerous emergencies have been attended to and drills held at frequent intervals. This service is always available and the public is urged to call for assistance when needed-day or night.


Fire Drills in the schools have been performed excellently and reflect great credit on the teachers.


Drills within the Fire Department are constant to the end that the personnel may be well trained and continue to gain in proficiency.


Fire Protection Survey


On October 22, we requested that a Fire Protection Survey of the Town of Swampscott be made by the New England Fire Insur- ance Rating Association. Such a survey had not been made in Swampscott during the last twenty-five years. Prepared by compe- tent and unbiased experts, it will provide the town with data which otherwise would cost a large sum to obtain although it is made without expense to the municipality.


Recommendations


As of this date, it is not our purpose to recommend any special appropriations for consideration at the Annual Town Meeting. This decision is based on the following factors: (1) The necessity that local expenditure, not needed for the prosecution of the war, be kept at a minimum to offset heavy Federal taxation; (2) The generally good condition of the Fire Department as a result of betterments in recent years; (3) The desirability of deferring improvements pend- ing receipt of the result of the Fire Protection Survey which will authoritatively indicate what should be done.


However, certain outlays appear to be inevitable in the near future. Among these expenditures, outside the regular maintenance budget, appear additional 21/2-inch hose, the extension and improve- ment of the Fire Alarm System, completion of general repairs at the Phillips Beach Station, painting exterior of the Central Station and


68


TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


increase in man power in the Department. It is expected that the shortage of regular personnel can be remedied, during the war emer- gency, by provisional appointment of a substitute call force, if per- mitted by Civil Service, within the regular budget. When again pos- sible, our old ladder truck should be replaced with new apparatus.


Appreciation

Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts

State House, Boston Sir:


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Swampscott for the year end- ing December 31, 1941, and submit the following report thereon:

DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS


1942]


The financial transactions, as entered on the records of the several departments receiving or disbursing town funds or commit- ting bills for collection, were examined, checked, and compared with the town accountant's records.


The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments in which money was collected or bills were sent out for collection. The recorded payments were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants.


The appropriations as entered on the accountant's ledger were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes.


In checking the paid vouchers on file, it was noted that a num- ber of bills incurred in 1940 were paid from appropriations pro- vided therefor in 1941. In this connection it should be noted that in some instances there were sufficient appropriation balances at the close of 1940 from which the bills could have been properly paid had they been presented in time, but in other cases, had the bills been paid in 1940, overdrafts would have resulted.


The incurrence of liabilities in excess of appropriations voted by the town is contrary to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws.


The ledger accounts were checked and analyzed, a trial balance taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of December 31, 1941.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the town accountant's ledger and with the records of the departments col- lecting money for the town, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the expenditures. The cash balance on January 29, 1942, was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited and was transferred as of that date to the temporary treasurer.


The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in custody of the treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved, the expenditures and withdrawals were verified, and the balances were found to be as recorded.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined. The taxes and assessments added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions were verified, and the tax titles on hand were listed and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The poll, property, and motor vehicle excise taxes, special assessments, departmental, and water accounts receivable outstand- ing at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent. commitments, were audited and checked to the warrants for their col- lection. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treas- urer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.


The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, town clerk, building and plumbing inspectors, and the health depart- ment were examined, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.


The surety bonds furnished by the financial officers of the town were examined and found to be in proper form.


The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the police, school, library, and cemetery departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.


In addition to the balance sheet mentioned above, there are ap- pended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's and of the collector's cash, together with summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions of the trust, investment and re- tirement funds.


While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from all the officials for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.

W. P. A. Referral Agent for 1942


As Referral Agent of the W.P.A., it has been my duty to certify all persons eligible for W.P.A.


When a person is certified, his application is immediately for- warded to Boston and they in turn assign him or her to the various projects.


Listed below you will note a tabulation of the number of workers employed and certified for the year 1942.


Number of persons employed January, 1942 55


Number of persons employed December, 1942 25


Peak of workers employed 1942 59


Number of applications certified and re-certified 68


The large number employed on W.P.A. has been a great as- sistance to the town, and has helped many persons to stay off Wel- fare rolls. I have at all times demanded that persons asking for aid register with the United States Employment Service or apply for W.P.A.


We have been assured by the Director that the W.P.A. in Swamp- scott will continue at least until June 30, 1943.


I have received the fullest co-operation from the State Head- quarters of W.P.A. in Boston to whom I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation at this time.


Respectfully submitted,


FRED M. SEATON, Referral Agent.

TOWN DOCUMENTS

The Planning Board


Swampscott, Mass., January 2, 1943


Town of Swampscott, Office of the Board of Selectmen, Swampscott, Mass.


Attention: Richard Chambers, Secretary.


Gentlemen:


In reply to your letter of December 14, the Planning Board sub- mits the following report:


To the Citizens of the Town of Swampscott


Conditions during the past year requiring that all efforts be devoted to Military and essential civilian needs have reduced real estate developments to the vanishing point. With no materials available, new construction of the type prevalent in Swampscott for private use has become impossible; all of which has tended to reduce the normal activities of the Planning Board.
