STAFF CHANGES


In June Mrs. Daniel P. Johnson resigned as Children's Librarian, and on September 30th Miss Anne Patterson, an assistant librarian for two years, resigned.


On June 18th Mrs. John Porter was elected to the assistant's position, which had been vacant for nine months.


Mrs. Robert Linden was elected Acting Children's Librarian to succeed Mrs. Johnson.


Mrs. Condon, Mrs. Benford, and the high school assistants, by means of their part-time work, are making it possible for the library to carry on without curtailment of any of its functions.


MEMORIAL BOOKS


An exhibition of all the Memorial Books for Swampscott men killed in World War II was held in February. The posters by high school students, together with the special news story and notices sent to each family, created much community interest.


The bookplate, designed by Mr. Frank Durkee and given by the Swampscott Rotary Club to mark these books, has attracted national attention.


COOPERATION OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS


The Engineering, Police, and School Departments have been most helpful in important details of our library work in the community, and the Board of Trustees is deeply grateful to them.

Care of Equipment


Much time and work are devoted daily to the inspection, testing, and care of equipment used by this department, including the motor vehicles and the inhalator. No effort is spared to have all equipment ready for instant use at all times.


Plans for Training


Now that the war is over and it is possible to again obtain sup- plies of ammunition, it is my plan to inaugurate a schedule of target practice each week for all of the members of this department. At- tendance at these practice sessions will be compulsory, and they will be held at the target range in the Police station.


Recommendations


There are four vacancies on the Reserve List and I recommend that these vacancies be filled as soon as possible.


I recommend the purchase of a new 1947 motor vehicle to replace a 1942 Plymouth Sedan to be used as a patrol car.


Appreciation


I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Board of Select- men, to the members of my own Department, to the Officers and members of the Auxiliary Police, to all Town Departments, and to all others who have co-operated with me during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANCIS P. WALL, Chief of Police.

CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT FUND


1946]


Contributory Retirement Fund


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


This is the tenth annual report of the Retirement Board.


In conformance with changes made in the retirement laws by the state legislature in 1945, a new set of books has been purchased, and a new method of accounting installed. This required considerable de- tailed work, as is marked a distinct change from the previous method of keeping records. An additional part time clerk was employed to assist in installing the new system, and in bringing the records up to date. Periodic weekly meetings of the board have been held. When urgent questions arose special meetings were held so that problems could be disposed of without undue delay.


The board has continued to invest its surplus monies in War Savings Bonds, as interest rates on non-governments continues low; government bonds are readily redeemable at face value; are the equivalent of cash in the bank, and generally pay a higher rate of interest.


In 1946 the state legislature passed Chapter 559, which authorizes municipalities, upon its proper acceptance, to increase pensions of both contributory and non-contributory pensioners, who retired previ- ous to January first, 1946, in the amount of 20 percent provided that in no case shall this act be permitted to increase a pension in excess of $1000 per year. This matter will be placed before the Town Meet- ing Members by an article in the Town Warrant.


In 1946 Evelyn Anderson, a member, died; and William J. Pratt of the Fire Department was accidentally killed.

TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


Engineering Department


To the Board of Selectmen:


Submitted herewith is the annual report of services rendered by the Engineering Department during the calendar year ending December 31, 1946.


SANITARY SEWERS


New sanitary sewers were constructed in Plymouth Avenue, Worcester Avenue, Brewster Terrace, Brooks Terrace, Lexington Park, Lexington Circle, Vinnin Street, Bates Road, Hawthorne Road and Ocean Avenue.


The Engineering services required by the Sewer Department included preliminary surveys, completion of preliminary plans, esti- mate of quantities and cost of construction, preparation of specifica- tions, designation of lines and grades in the field, supervision of construction, preparation of final plans, computation of final quanti- ties and cost and computation of assessments. Record plans and de- scriptions of the necessary easements for these sewers were completed.


The inspection of the sewer force main from the beach to the out- fall has been made and a report of conditions submitted by the engineering firm of Fay, Spofford and Thorndike. The Engineering Department of the town has done the necessary field survey work of coordinating the points used in determining locations of the Outfall Sewer at controlling points, and have made a record plan of the same.


The 24 inch pipe of Hawthorne Brook, on property of the Tedesco Country Club, has been relaid. This should relieve the flood conditions of areas near the State Road and Essex Street.


HEALTH DEPARTMENT


At the request of the Health Officer we have assisted him at different times in locating cesspools in areas where there are no sanitary sewers. Surveys were made and preliminary plans prepared for the draining of Jimmy's Pond, so called, at the end of Plymouth Avenue.


ASSESSORS' DEPARTMENT


From time to time, as real estate transfers 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.


Surveys were made for location of houses for said plans to be presented at hearings in the Appellate Court.


PARK DEPARTMENT


The Engineering services required by the Park Department in- cluded preliminary plans and estimates of cost of constructing Asphalt Parking Areas and walks at the Administration Building and grading the adjacent grass areas. From time to time grades and lines were given at the different areas controlled by the Park Department.


POLICE DEPARTMENT


At the request of the Police Department a survey was made at the intersection of Humphrey Street, Puritan Road and Atlantic Avenue and a plan was prepared for use as a traffic study.


163


ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


1946]


ROAD CONSTRUCTION, SIDEWALKS AND CURBING


Lines and grades were supplied to the Highway Department for use in rebuilding Beverly Road.


New sidewalks were constructed and curbstone set on Magnolia Road, Forest Avenue and Arbutus Road. This work was carried over from 1945 and has been completed and the necessary computations for assessments have been made for the entire project.


STREET LINE SURVEYS


At the request of citizens concerned, ten (10) surveys were made for the purpose of locating street lines. At Roy Street near Hillside Avenue it was found that sidewalks were encroaching upon private property. This situation can be relieved by the rebuilding of the street and sidewalks for a distance of about 300 lin. ft. from Hillside Avenue.


SELECTMEN'S DEPARTMENT


In compliance with a request of the Board of Selectmen, plans and descriptions were made for the street acceptance of Banks Court, Beverly Road, Gale Road and Rockyledge Road.


During the year, at the regular meetings of the Board, the Engineering Department has been requested to give answers to many questions pertaining to engineering problems of the town. As a result of one of these meetings, a survey and study of the drainage from the Stanley School play area was made and preliminary plans and estimates for this project will be submitted to the annual town meeting for action.


WATER DEPARTMENT


Water pipe locations were given at Ocean Avenue, Worcester Avenue, Winshaw Road, Essex Street and Vinnin Street.


The Engineering for this work included preliminary surveys, preliminary plans, estimates of ledge excavation, final surveys and final plans.


PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT


The department continued functions with a chief engineer, an assistant engineer and a rodman. While the construction of sewers was in progress, two part-time inspectors were employed.


A new Dodge car was purchased during the close of the year to replace the old one.


New filing cabinets have been purchased to properly preserve the large collection of plans of the department which now total over twelve hundred.


In closing I wish to thank the various boards and heads of depart- ments for their fine cooperation during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


HOWARD L. HAMILL, Town Engineer.
