Swampscott Housing Authority
The Swampscott Housing Authority submits herewith its annual report for the year 1949, in accordance with the provisions of Sec- tion 26-U of the Housing Authority Law (Mass. General Laws, Chap- ter 121).
The Authority, organized as a corporation distinct from the Town of Swampscott in June, 1948, had by the beginning of 1949 completed most of the administrative work necessary for the develop- ment of a Veterans' Housing Project designed to accommodate thirty-six families of low income. This project was instituted under Chapter 200 of the Acts of 1948, and was to be developed under the control of the Authority and financed by the issuance of the obliga- tions of the latter which would be guaranteed by the Commonwealth.
On March 30, 1949, the necessary prerequisites having been fully accomplished, the Authority entered into a Contract for Finan- cial Assistance with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts whereby the Authority agreed to develop and operate the project under and in conformity with the Housing Authority Law, and the Common- wealth agreed to pledge its full faith and credit to secure the obliga- tions of the Authority.
After approval by bond counsel of the organization and oper- ation of the Authority, and following public offering of the tempor- ary notes of the Authority, a loan was negotiated with the lowest bidder for the sum of $414,000.00, the estimated cost of initial development and construction. This loan was for a short term (one year) at a low rate of interest, and will be refinanced at its expir- ation by a permanent bond issue to be amortized over the estimated life of the project-a period of forty years.

SWAMPSCOTT HOUSING AUTHORITY
1949]
Meanwhile, the Authority was locally engaged in various prob- lems preparatory to construction of the thirty-six dwelling units.
Since the project was developed, under the law, for the accom- modation of families of low income, the cost necessarily had to be kept to a minimum in order that the rental to be charged would be within the tenants' resources and yet be sufficient to finance the ex- penses of development and continued operation. The only feasible type of construction was determined, after lengthy analysis, to be multiple-family units, and a group of nine buildings, each to house four families was finally selected by the Authority and approved by the State Housing Board.
The site chosen for erection of the dwellings, an area of vacant land containing about 80,000 square feet and located on Cherry Street, was within a section of the town which, under the local Zone Ordinance, would not permit the type buildings approved. This fact necessitated petitioning the town's Board of Appeals for a variance in the application of the zoning law. After a public hearing on April 20, the Board rendered a decision favorable to the Authority.
Exercising the power of eminent domain granted to it by law, the Authority, on July 7, acquired title to the locus selected for the project. A deed to the property was obtained from the former owner and recorded December 16, after amicable settlement of the legal action instituted for recovery of damages for the land taking.
With the approval of the Authority and the State Housing Board of the plans and specifications for construction, bids for the work was sought by public advertisement. Upon the opening of bids August 5, the lowest figures were found to have been submitted by the Calumet Construction Company, of Boston. In order to satisfy itself that, in accordance with the pertinent law, the firm was the "lowest responsible and eligible bidder," the Authority conducted a thorough, impartial investigation of the three lowest bidders. Award of the contract was made to the Calumet firm on its bid of $321,460 and after approval by the State Housing Board a contract was signed. The sub-contractors successfully bidding were all Swamp- scott firms : Philbrick & Pope, heating; Loring F. Nies, plumbing; and Curtis and Gordon, Inc., electrical.
Construction began in the latter part of August and by the year's end was completed to a degree which allowed a forecast of occupancy of the dwellings in early Spring.
Selection of the veterans and their families who would occupy the project comprised a painstaking and time-consuming task for the members of the Authority. The law under which the project was developed having been designed to relieve the housing problem of veterans of low income, the selection of thirty-six families most badly in need of housing from the scores of applicants had to be accomplished. Working within the scope of the standards established by the law and by the regulations of the State Housing Board, the Authority examined carefully the family and housing status and the income data of every applicant, and by the close of the year had compiled most of the information needed to make its selection.
Statisticians of the State Board, basing their computations on reports of the Authority, fixed the limits of income applicable to tenancy of the project. Here again the necessity of effectuating the purposes of the law and providing houses for veterans of low income was the basic determinant in the establishing of the income limits. In order that the benefit of the state's subsidy would be realized by
132
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
those for whom it was intended, a system of proportional rents, so- called, was utilized in setting rentals. That is, each tenant would pay rent bearing a certain fixed ratio to his income.
The rent ratios were set at 18% for small families (those con- taining less than three minor dependents) and at 14% for larger families (those containing three or more minor dependents.)
With income limits set at $3,250.00 per year for small families for initial occupancy, and $3,750.00 per year for continued occu- pancy, and at $3,500.00 per year for larger families for initial occupancy, and at $4,000.00 per year for continued occupancy, the average shelter rent will be $30.00 per month for small families and $23.50 per month for larger families.
Although this first project, officially designated as State-Aided Housing Project 200-1, will accommodate but thirty-six families, this fact resulted from limitations of available space at the site selected for construction, and not from any opinion that such a number of units was adequate. The Authority is firmly of the opinion, after its prolonged and careful scrutiny of the housing situation in the Town of Swampscott, that additional dwellings should be provided. Sub- standard living conditions were found to exist in the town to a degree which would be thought impossible by the residents of this town which is able to boast of a history of efficient management and civic pride.
During the past year the Authority has received the cooperation of and become indebted in no small measure to many of the town officials and departments, as well as to the citizens at large. To them all the undersigned members of the Swampscott Housing Authority desire to express their gratitude and praise for the understanding and willingness to cooperate which have characterized their relations with the Authority.
Respectfully submitted,
