Safety Award


On April 26, 1947 a representative from the National Safety Council presented an Honorable Mention Award Plaque to the Chief of Police.


On May 22, 1947 a Certificate Award was presented to the Chief of Police by the Governor and Registrar of Motor Vehicles in the presence of all town officials.


The above awards were made to the town as a result of the town's commendable safety record. A continued effort will be made to promote safety campaigns.


Recreational Project


This project sponsored by the Selectmen was primarily for the benefit of children between the ages of eight and fifteen years. The Board of Selectmen appointed Robert P. Friberg supervisor of this project during the summer months. Mr. Friberg's program was greeted with considerable enthusiasm and a large number of children were given an opportunity to play and learn various sports. The Selectmen wish to express appreciation to Anna H. Reynolds of 20 Burpee Road who turned over funds which were collected by a previous

recreation committee and used in connection with this program. Many adults have indicated considerable interest in this supervised program and are aware of the great benefits such a project offers to the children of our town.


It is the sincere hope of the Selectmen that recreational activity will continue to gain the support of children and adults to enable this project to expand thereby permitting a greater number of youth to enjoy these activities.


Street Lighting


The street lights in many cases were changed to improve lighting conditions in different sections of the town. The Selectmen together with representatives from the Lynn Gas & Electric Co. conducted a survey on various streets throughout the entire town. As a result of this survey several new lights were installed. While the Selectmen are cognizant of the fact that the lighting conditions should be further improved, it is believed that such a program be continued and event- ually accomplished over a period of time.


Street and Sidewalk Improvements


Essex Street from the Lynn line to Pitman Road was resurfaced under Chapter 90 of the General Laws. The contract was awarded by the State and the cost was defrayed one-half by the State, one-quarter by the County, and one-quarter by the Town of Swampscott.


Salem Street will be resurfaced during the year 1948 under pro- visions of Chapter 90 explained above. A contract has been awarded for a section of this street and additional funds will be requested in an article to be considered at the Annual Town Meeting which will enable us to continue this project.


The "S" curve, so-called, has received serious attention of the Board of Selectmen as it is believed that every effort should be exerted to eliminate this danger spot and traffic hazard if possible. The Select- men consider it important to do this work in the near future due to the fact that State Funds may be available to complete this project, thus mitigating the Town of Swampscott's share considering the pro- portionate cost to the town should State funds not be available in the future.


Sidewalks


In accordance with the vote of the last Annual Town Meeting, new sidewalks were installed on several streets under the Continuous Side- walk Act.


It is the consensus of the Board of Selectmen, the Town Engineer, and Surveyor of Highways that a sum of money be included in the Highway Department budget annually to be used in its entirety for the purpose of installing new sidewalks.


It is the opinion of the Selectmen that such a program continued over a period of years would enable the Highway Department to install new sidewalks or resurface present walks throughout the entire town.


Housing


Early in the year the Board appointed a Veterans' Advisory Com- mittee in accordance with the General Laws. This Committee held a conference with the Selectmen to discuss the possibility and advisa- bility of inaugurating a housing project for the veterans.


17


SELECTMEN'S REPORT


1947]


A further study has been made by the Veterans' Advisory Com- mittee and an article has been inserted in the warrant proposing a Veterans' Housing Project. The Committee is now studying plans and costs and will present definite figures to the Finance Committee for consideration of the Town Meeting.


Beaches


A large representative group of citizens from the Phillips Beach and Beach Bluff section of the town appeared before the Board in reference to parking near the beaches. This group registered vigorous objection to any proposed change in Traffic Regulations, informing the Selectmen that enforcement of the Parking regulations in this area was imperative if nuisances were to be prevented and proper condi- tions were to be maintained.


Although Phillips Beach is privately owned this group informed the Board that it was their wish to have the residents of Swampscott enjoy this beach, but in order to make this possible it was the con- census that "no parking" restrictions be placed on the following streets: Bradlee Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to Ocean Avenue; Beach Bluff Avenue from the Boston & Maine Railroad crossing to the beach; Beverly Road; and Lincoln Circle.


It was agreed that if the present regulations were maintained and enforced, ample parking space would be provided for the residents of Swampscott as a temporary measure. Mr. Gordon Brown made pro- visions for parking space on privately owned property situated on Longley Road. The Board of Selectmen is cognizant of present existing beach conditions and plans to make a further study with a view to making the beach more accessible to the citizens.


World War II Honor Roll


The temporary Honor Roll for veterans of World War II situated on the property adjacent to the old Town Hall will be removed. It was the unanimous decision of the Board of Selectmen and Committee of World War II Veterans that this Honor Roll be removed because of its poor and unsightly condition. The Board of Selectmen appointed a Veteran's Committee for the purpose of studying and recommending a suitable World War II Memorial. After due consideration this Com- mittee conferred with the Board of Selectmen and submitted a detailed report which is printed elsewhere in this Town Report.


Use of Old Town Hall


During the year the Board of Selectmen had many requests from various organizations and private citizens to use the old Town Hall. It was necessary for the Board in some instances to reject requests due to the great demand for the use of this building. We regretted the necessity of taking this action but due to the fact that certain organi- zations have permanent quarters in this hall and the Board had made prior commitments to other organizations and individuals, we had no alternative.


The Board of Selectmen has a complete schedule of all activities in this building.


Fire Emergency


During the month of October, New England experienced one of the worst dry periods in history and millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed.


The Town of Swampscott took necessary precautions to prevent serious fires. The Selectmen requested a conference with the Board of


18


TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


Fire Engineers, Chief of Police, Park Department, and Surveyor of Highways to assure the citizens of ample protection.


The Board of Selectmen, Chief of Police, and Chief of the Fire Department, through the medium of the press, urged parents and children to cooperate during this emergency.


The Board conducted a personal tour to make certain that all of the town's apparatus and available equipment was in use for any emergency that might arise.


Insurance


Under Chapter 6 of the Town By-Laws "it is the duty of the Board of Selectmen to keep insured against loss or damage by fire, all insurable property of the town, both real and personal." During the year the Board of Selectmen had several conferences with the broker of record. As a result of these conferences it was deemed necessary to place additional insurance on certain town buildings to afford adequate protection.


Respectfully submitted,
