ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


1945]


Report of Engineering Department


December 31, 1945.


To the Board of Selectmen:


Submitted herewith is the annual report of services rendered by the Engineering Department during the calendar year ending Decem- ber 31, 1945.


SANITARY SEWERS. New sanitary sewers were constructed in Bates Road, Charlotte Road, Beverly Road, and Sargent Road. The engineering services required by the Sewer Department included preliminary surveys, completion of preliminary plans, estimates of quantities and cost, preparation of specifications, designation of lines and grades in the field, supervision of construction, preparation of final plans, computation of final quantities and cost, and computation of assessments.


Lines and grades were established for the connection of house 16 Thomas Road with the sewer in Spring Court and for the replace- ment of a faulty connection to house 124 Elmwood Road.


A survey and new location plans were made of the existing sewer in Spring Court, this being one of several old sewers of which no loca- tion plans are available.


At the request of the Health Officer a survey and preliminary plans were made of a proposed sewer to be located in Brewster Terrace.


SURFACE WATER DRAINS. In compliance with request by the Sewer Department a preliminary survey was made and a gradient de- signed to provide proper drainage of Hawthorne Brook from Paradise Road to Salem Street. Grades were established in the field for the relocation of existing 24-inch tile pipe.


Lines and grades were provided to the Highway Department for use in constructing a 12-inch concrete pipe drain in Eulow Street.


CONCRETE APRON. A quantity estimate was prepared for the Park Department in connection with a proposed concrete apron de- signed to replace the present slab at the Fish House on Humphrey Street.


GROUNDS OF ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. Engineering services were supplied to the Park Department in connection with the regrading of the grounds of the new Administration Building and the construction thereon of walks, driveways, and parking spaces. These services comprised preliminary surveys, design, preparation of plans, estimates of quantities, designation of lines and grades in the field, and supervision of construction.


LOCATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS. At the request of the Police Department a survey was made at the intersection of Elmwood Road and Thomas Road and a plan was prepared for use in locating proposed traffic signals.


COURT PLANS. In compliance with a request by the Town Counsel surveys were made at the intersection of Humphrey Street and Redington Street, and in the vicinity of 120 Elmwood Road. Plans of the above loci were completed for use relative to possible law suits against the Town.


STREET LINE SURVEYS. In response to requests of the cit- izens concerned eight (8) surveys were made for the purpose of lo- cating street lines.

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


ROAD CONSTRUCTION, SIDEWALKS, AND CURBING. Lines and grades were supplied to the Highway Department for use in reshaping the roads and construction of sidewalks on Brooks Terrace and a portion of Shelton Road.


New sidewalks were constructed and curbstones set at Puritan Road and Atlantic Avenue and similar work was begun on Forest Avenue and Magnolia Road. Engineering services required by the Highway Department for this project included preliminary surveys, design, estimates of quantities, and designation of lines and grades in the field. Preliminary designs and estimates of like nature were pre- pared for Arbutus Road. Computation of assessments must await completion of the entire project.


ASSESSORS' PLANS. From time to time, as real estate trans- fers became available, corrections were made on the lot plans in the files of the Assessors' Department. This work included a study of over nine hundred (900) abstracts.


SCHOOL YARD CONSTRUCTION. At the request of the School Department lines and grades were designated for use in applying an asphalt surface to the play area at the Stanley School.


LOT LINE SURVEYS. A survey was made of the Central Fire Station lot on New Ocean Street for the purpose of relocating a fence.


PHILLIPS PARK. Lines and grades were established at Phillips Park for use by the Park Department in grading the football and baseball fields. Spikes were located on the football field to facilitate painting of the grid lines.


WAR GARDENS. At the direction of the Board of Selectmen war garden plots were staked on the Palmer Estate at Humphrey and Salem Streets, the Brown Estate on Atlantic Avenue, and property of Barrie White on Phillips Beach Avenue. The Engineering Department accepted the task of administering this project.


LOCATION OF WATER MAIN. The easterly side line of Phil- lips Park was staked to aid the Water Department in locating a new water main.


PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. The department continued to function with a chief engineer, one assistant engineer, and a part-time (9 months) rodman. While the construction of sewers was in progress (June 21 to December 7) an inspector was required to be on the job continuously. This work was performed by personnel of the Sewer Department until September 6 and subsequently by personnel of the Engineering Department.


No major items of equipment were purchased during the year. The Dodge Coupe, model 1939, is rapidly wearing out and must be replaced in the near future. The filing facilities of the department are inadequate for the proper preservation of the many valuable plans now rolled up and stored in racks. Plans drawn on paper become brittle with age; they tend to crack and tear when rolled. This condition will be alleviated when funds for proper cabinets become available. The office space and drafting room assigned to this department in the new Administration Building constitute a vast improvement over the quar- ters formerly occupied in the Town Hall. This has proven beneficial to both the efficiency and morale of the department.


Respectfully submitted,


HOWARD L. HAMILL,


Town Engineer.

POST OFFICE COMMITTEE


1945]


Post Office Committee


To the Representative Town Meeting:


This Committee was appointed on 27 April 1939, in accordance with a vote of the Special Town Meeting, held on 4 April 1939, to study the matter of obtaining a new post office building in Swamp- scott.


Reference is here made to the report of this Committee published in the 1940 Town Report on page 155 which covered the progress made in 1939 and 1940. Everything had then been accomplished that could be effected in advance of a congressional authorization and appropria- tion for this project. The Post Office Department survey estimated that $125,000 would provide a suitable building for the Town.


However, no authorization or appropriation was then available for the local building and the Congress has not since enacted any such legislation. Construction of public buildings has been held in abeyance since 1 January 1941, as requested by the then President.


Congressman Bates has informed this Committee that the Post Office Department, in October, 1945, submitted to the Congress a list of 4020 projects spread all over the United States, estimating the cost at some 775 million dollars. It appears that Swampscott is included in this program with an allocation of $145,000.


While this construction, if approved, will be extended over a period of years and inclusion of any project in the list is no indication that it will be undertaken in the immediate future, Congressman Bates has assured this Committee that, as far as he is concerned, top priority will be given to the construction of a post office building in Swampscott.


This Committee recommends that it be continued to keep in- formed and persistent in the endeavor to procure a suitable Federal building for the Swampscott Post Office.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H. MCCARTHY, Chairman ALBERT S. HILLS, Secretary HENRY S. BALDWIN
