1952 Annual Report
Board of Park Commissioners
ROLAND C. BOOMA, Chairman FREDERICK C. BURK
LEWIS H. BERRY, Secretary
As we write this report, we feel a bit proud that we were able to participate in the Centennial events and that the various parks were used for so many func- tions. We wish to congratulate the General Committee for a good job well done.
We wish to record with pride the display of tulips and the annual flower beds made possible only through the generosity of the Townspeople.
All of the playing fields were taxed to capacity through the expanded pro- gram of the School department athletic program.
The Phillips Park Improvement Association met throughout the season on the second Thursday of each month at the Field House. Permission has been granted for a troop of Boy Scouts to meet weekly until the new Stanley school addition is completed, in one of the Field House rooms. We feel that this is a forward step to have a diversified use of our facilities by civic groups.
The Dutch Elm tabulation is as follows:
Elms removed, 33 - by Town crew, 23, by private contractors, 10.
New insects that appeared during the year were the clover mite and the European earwig.
We wish to thank Joseph L. Stevens Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars for their continued generosity by donating a moving picture projector for the use of the High School athletic teams.
As the year closed, Mr. Benjamin T. M. Johansen chose to retire. He has been with this department since 1944, doing an excellent job as a gardener and ornamental horticulturist.

During the current year the Highway Department oiled and seal coated many sections of streets, cleaned and flushed all drains, and repaired a number of the old sidewalks.
New sidewalks were constructed during the year under the Continuous Side- walk Act on the following streets: Bradlee Avenue, Bellevue Road, Lodge Road, Francis Road, Palmer Avenue, Bond Street, Morton Road and Atlantic Avenue.
In accordance with articles in the Warrant adopted by the Town Meeting, the following accepted streets were constructed: Eureka Avenue, Deer Cove Road, Linden Avenue, Pitman Road, Stanley Road, Lewis Road, Brewster Terrace, Blod- gett Avenue, Reid Terrace, Ellis Terrace and Bates Road from Muriel Road to the far side of Charlotte Road.
A section of Humphrey Street extending from Commonwealth Avenue to Glen Road was resurfaced. Also a part of Essex Street from the Bridge to Stetson Avenue was resurfaced under Chapter 90 of the General Laws and the decking on Essex Street and Danvers Road Bridge was repaired.
A new drain was laid on Allen Road to Hawthorne Road and Sumner Road.
In accordance with custom over a period of years, the department cleaned the beaches daily during the summer months.
Throughout the year, summer and winter, your Highway Department has endeavored to keep the 46 miles of highways and sidewalks in good condition. The department has also cooperated with all Town Departments loaning its men and equipment.
It is again recommended that urgent consideration be given to the recon- struction of Puritan Road. This is a major project and should be done by contract under a bond issue.

1952 Annual Report
Housing Authority
DAVID F. DOHERTY, Chairman
THOMAS W. DUNCAN JOHN A. MASSEY PHILIP W. DUNPHY
The Swampscott Housing Authority is a separate corporation from the Town, although it is required to give the Board of Selectmen a copy of the annual report and our members are elected at the Annual Town Election with exception of one member who is appointed for a five-year term by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Appointments to fill unexpired terms created by resignations, etc. are made jointly with approval of both Board of Selectmen and the Housing Authority.
The Swampscott Project consists of 9 multiple buildings, 4 apartments in each building for a total of 36 apartments. There are 20-4 room and 16-5 room apart- ments. There are 36 individual cellars, heating units and open air parking spaces. Each apartment is equipped with an electric range and refrigerator.
There are 71 adults and 77 children making a total of 148 persons currently housed in the Swampscott Project.
Preference is given to honorably discharged veterans of World War II and Korean War in the low income group with children, secondary preference to veterans of other wars who are in need of housing. It is the policy of the Swamp- scott Housing Authority to select tenants who are in need of housing and their ability to pay the required rent. Rent does not include heating or electricity.
Rents and Income Limits in relationship to the tenant's net family income:
a. 18% for families with one minor dependent
*b. 16% for families with two minor dependents c. 14% for families with three or more minor dependents
*this Authority was instrumental in establishing an additional category of 16% for families with two children in order to have a more realistic rent in view of present day cost of living conditions.
Admission Limits :
a. families with one minor dependent $3,250.00
b. families with two minor dependents 3,375.00
c. families with three or more minor dependents 3,500.00
Continued Occupancy Limits :
a. families with one minor dependent $3,750.00
b. families with two minor dependents 3,875.00
c. families with three or more minor dependents 4,000.00
The average monthly rental during the year 1952 amounted to $38.50 per month.
Veterans Housing Projects are tax exempt but the Swampscott Housing Authority paid to the Town of Swampscott the sum of $1,234.67 in lieu of taxes,
95
Town of Swampscott
this amount represents five percent of the total rents collected from July 1950, date of occupancy, through December 1951. Said amount is far greater than the taxes paid on vacant land by previous owners. We expect to make the 1952 pay- ment in the near future subject to the approval of the State Housing Board.

Whenever possible local men have been employed in the maintenance of project and also all purchases of supplies have been made through local dealers.
The Swampscott Housing Authority regretted the resignation of Walter F. Livermore, board member and former clerk of works.
In conclusion we believe that the Project is a credit to the Town of Swamp- scott and worthy of the veterans who occupy them in recognition of their services to our Country.

Board of Public Welfare
FRED M. SEATON, Chairman
PAUL C. CURTIS
NORBERT A. ULMAN
The past year has seen a decrease in requests for General Relief. the estab- ment of the Disability Assistance program and a further increase in Old Age Assis- tance expenditures.
The Old Age Assistance Lien Law went into effect on January 1. 1952 and the town is now assured of reimbursement for assistance granted from that date from recipients owning real estate.
A Social Worker was added to our staff in April and we are glad to report that all salaries are now subject to reimbursement by the Federal Government at approximately 50 percent.
Effective October 1. 1952 Federal reimbursements for assistance were increased by approximately $5.00 per case monthly and this will result in a saving of approxi- mately $10,000 per year to the town.

1952 Annual Report
World War II Memorial Fund
ERNEST MANCHIN, Chairman BENJAMIN GOLDBERG, Secretary
CLEMENT E. KENNEDY PHILIP H. STAFFORD DAVID F. DOHERTY
JOHN R. COOPER ALBERT F. PASHBY
The Board of Trustees submits its third annual report.
The outstanding event of the year was the receipt of a $100.00 contribution from Mr. Nathan Cohen.
For the second year a $250.00 scholarship was awarded. This year the award was made to Leslie K. Hamill who entered Bowdoin College.
All but $100.00 of the Fund's money, on deposit at the Provident Institution for Savings, was transferred to the Salem Savings Bank, Salem, Massachusetts.
The Financial report of the Fund follows:
Salem Five Cents Savings Bank, balance December 31, 1952 $ 5,291.46 Salem Savings Bank, balance December 31, 1952 4,926.60 Provident Institution for Savings, balance December 31, 1952 100.00
Total balance in the Fund $10,318.06
The total of the scholarships awarded is $500.00
At the annual meeting of the Trustees, which was held at the New Ocean House, October 24, 1952, the future of the Fund was considered from all possible angles. A number of suggestions, dealing with the objectives of the Fund, the past progress, and the maintaining of a sound financial position, were discussed thoroughly.
It was recommended that further action, in securing amendment to Chapter 119 of the Acts of 1949, the law which permitted the establishment of the Fund, be considered at some later date.
Ernest Manchin was elected Chairman and Benjamin Goldberg was elected Secretary for the coming year.
The Swampscott World War II Memorial Fund welcomes gifts and bequests. It is suggested that, those contemplating gifts or bequests confer with the Chairman or any Trustee of the Fund. A letter received from the U. S. Treasury Department states "Contributions made to the fund are deductible by the donors in computing their taxable net income, etc."

Public Library
GEORGE W. HOWE, Chairman DR. BENJAMIN F. CORNWALL
RUTH M. BARRY, Secretary EDITH N. SNOW, Librarian
COMMUNITY INTERESTS
Research for the Centennial caused intensive use of our local history during the first half of the year. The rather small collection has been indexed more fully. Gifts have enlarged our resources somewhat. Various citizens loaned rare views and early books of local interest for Centennial Week.
The gift of display racks from the Centennial Committee made possible three small exhibits of drawings and paintings by Swampscott artists - Anna Morse, Prudence W. Potter, Lydia N. Breed. These brought new visitors to the Library, and interested our regular borrowers. The building is too small to make this a permanent feature though there is much more material available in town.
Twenty-one LP records were added to the small but still appreciated lending collection of 78 rpm albums. About 70 works are now available. A man anticipat- ing the Boston Symphony concerts has been able so far to get one work from each program! We still lack a player, however.
The Community Calendar serves increasing numbers of clubs in this second year of its existence. A Great Books group, now in its fourth year, meets here twice a month. Moody's Industrials semi-weekly service will be available for at least another year for business people who may not have a chance to use it else- where during the day. The League of Women Voters has both asked for and supplied information to meet the keener interest in government.
WORK WITH CHILDREN
Mrs. Robert Linden resigned as Children's Librarian, to be succeeded by Rhoda J. Thomas, a graduate of the University of North Carolina Library School. In the interim, Mrs. Thomas Condon managed the room and summer reading club. A concluding party for the 55 most active readers was held on the library grounds. Ralph Russell told them about circus life.
The addition of an enlarged charging desk during the summer has helped enormously in handling the after-school rush which is an inescapable feature of work with children.
BUILDING
Three more trees were planted in the front yard, the gift of the Tuesday Garden Club. Extensive repairs were made to dry wells and conductor pipes to obviate leaks in the basement. The return book box was enlarged and relocated inside the front door by our resourceful janitor, Angelo Losano.
USE
."Reading remains as one of the few personal individual activities whereby we can approach our full stature of mind and spirit." Circulation figures are an

inadequate description of services rendered to individuals but the Library lent 91,969 volumes. 3,950 people in town have library cards. A more complete statis- tics leaflet may be obtained at the Library desk.
FUTURE
Our work is bound to be circumscribed until we can expand the building, making more room for modern activities characteristic of libraries in live com- munities. Such expansion will also make more efficient working procedures possible.
THANKS
To the people who gave books and magazines; to the Cottage Gardeners who held half their flower show here; to the many Garden Club members (and others) who brought flowers for the main desk; to the Lynn Item and Telegram- News for telling the town about our endeavors.

Although the building has ac- tually been in use since April, 1952, several matters of importance have delayed our transferring it to the School Department. All work is now nearly completed and we wish to take this oppor- tunity to express our sincere appreciation to all who have worked and cooperated with us in giving to our Town a school fully equipped to meet the needs of modern education. We consider the building a fitting addition to the Swampscott School System and are proud that it was our privilege to build it.
