AUSTIN D. Mosco, Director-Secretary
It is with pride and pleasure that we submit our annual report for the year ending 1955, and we hope that it will be of interest to the public in general and also to those interested in public housing.
The Swampscott Housing Authority is a separate corportation from the town ; four members are elected at the Annual Town Election with exception of one member who is appointed by the Commonwealth for a five-year term. The four members are elected for a five-year term with staggered expiration dates.
Officers are elected annually and consist of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer. All checks drawn against the Authority must be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman and the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer.
In September the annual re-examination of family income was completed. Incomes and family compositions were verified and rents were adjusted in accordance with our management program procedures.
The Swampscott Project consists of 9 multiple buildings, 4 apartments in each building for a total of 36 apartments. There are 20-4 room apartments, each having 2 bed-rooms. There are 16-5 room apartments, each having three bed-rooms. There are 36 individual cellars and heating units and 34 open air parking spaces. Each apartment is equipped with an electric range and refrigerator. The tenant supplies its own fuel and electricity. The Authority furnishes the servicing of the oil burner units and water.
Preference is given to honorably discharged veterans of World War II and the Korean War in the low income group with children. Secondary preference is given to needy veterans of other wars. However, three additional categories have been added as follows:
1. single veteran 50 years old or over and widow of a veteran
2. elderly person or persons over 65 years old
3. non-veterans of the low income group
Rents and Income Limits in relationship to the tenant's net family income. Admission Limits:
a. families with 1 or less minor dependent up to $3650.00
b. families with 2 minor dependents up to $3775.00
c. families with 3 minor dependents up to $3900.00
Continued Occupancy Limits :
a. families with 1 or less minor dependent $3900.00
b. families with 2 minor dependents $4025.00
c. families with 3 minor dependents $4150.00
Rent Schedule relating to family income:
a. 18% for families with 1 or less minor dependent
b. 16% for families with 2 minor dependents
*c. 14% for families with 3 minor dependents
*$100.00 deduction from family income for each minor dependent child in excess of three in number.
Minimum monthly rents:
a. families with 1 or less minor dependent $30.00
b. families with 2 minor dependents $26.50
c. families with 3 minor dependents $23.50

1955 Annual Report
During the year the Authority sold a parcel of land abutting the Cities Service Gas Station on Essex Street to John Connolly et al. The total area sold was 162 square feet of land. The amount received from leasing, $900.00, and sale, $252.00, amount to $1152.00. This land was in excess of and no longer required for the purpose for which it was acquired.
The total area of the project is 79,228 square feet. The total area taken up by buildings on said property is 16,055 square feet.
We regret that we were unable to install metal combination storm and screen windows as stated in our 1954 report. We have corresponded with the State Housing Board on this subject for a year and a half, and we have yet to receive a definite answer on this matter. As a secondary choice we have requested permission to install a conventional wooden storm window. It is hoped that we have better results with the latter request.
The Contract to clean and service the 36 heating units at the Project was awarded to the only bidder, Geo. E. Warren Heating Corp., Lynn, Massachusetts.
We were quite fortunate that the total damages resulting from flood rains of August amounted to $93.00. All damages were confined to drying out the burner motors and pumping out cellars. There is a slight possibility that we may be reimbursed by the Commonwealth for the said damages.
Our subsidy from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the year 1955 amounted to $4153.12, which is considerably less than the $10,150.00 that could be obtained for debt requirements.
The average monthly rental for Project amounted to $42.75 for the year. In no case can the monthly rental fall below $34.50, minimum requirements established by the State Housing Board, in order for the Authority to meet its obligations.
A total of $1839.00 was paid to the Town of Swampscott during the year, $1296.00 representing payment in lieu of taxes and $543.40 for water bills.
During the year the sum of $10,000 was deposited in savings accounts as follows: $5,000 in the Beverly Savings Bank @ 3% interest, $5,000 in the Salem 5¢ Savings Bank @ 3% interest. These funds represent the greater portion of our maximum operating reserve accruals.
With the ending of rent control in December 31, 1955, we can foresee an increase in the number of applications.
The following insurance policies are carried by the Authority for its protection : Fire, Public Liability, Moneys and Bond, Workmens Compensation, Non-ownership Auto and Fire and Theft on Office Furniture.
Periodic inspections of grounds and apartments are made by the Authority or its employees to see that the lease requirements are complied with.
At this time we wish to thank the town departments and the staff of the State Housing Board for their cooperation and assistance during the past year.
We conclude with the sincerest hope that we have assisted those veterans in need.

The total interments for the year 1955 were 108. All receipts for funerals, liners, foundations, and sale of lots were paid to Town Treasurer.
The World War II lot has been regraded, seeded, and a boulder has been placed there. A 40 foot iron flag pole has been placed in the center of the lot. This flag pole and cement settee was donated by Joseph Marino of Essex Street.
The new section started in 1955 will be completed early this year. All surplus fill from the new section was dumped in the rear of the cemetery. Also, all surplus fill from the Essex Street project was dumped along Essex Street from Capen Road toward Salem, which someday will be a part of the Cemetery.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Theodore Cooke of the Lynn Sand & Stone Co. for his gift of all pea stone used by the Cemetery Department.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Joseph Marino on behalf of the Town for his donation of the flag pole.
My sincere thanks to the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, the men of my Department, and all other Departments and their Personnel who have co-operated with me during the past year.

HISTORY OF SWAMPSCOTT'S VETERANS' ORGANIZATIONS
Just prior to World War I, Swampscott was fast losing its first and only veterans' organization through the ravages of Old Father Time. Membership in the General James L. Bates Post 118, Grand Army of the Republic which had been chartered 24 January 1870, was reduced to a mere handful of men. The history of this Post was printed in last year's Town Report.
Upon the discharge of many World War I veterans, the Leon E. Abbott Post # 57, The American Legion was chartered on 20 June 1919 with the following names appearing on the application :
Mortimer H. Doane

The Post was named in honor of Leon E. Abbott who was killed in action in a town near Chateau Thierry in July 1918 while serving as a member of the 101st Signal Battalion, 26th Division. (It was the sad duty of your Director to assist in the burial of this fine young man, in a temporary grave in the village cemetery of Bezu-le-Guerry.) He was the first Swampscott man to be killed in action in World War I.
On the 18th of August 1924 Swampscott's third Veterans' Organization was chartered when Joseph L. Stevens Post # 1240, Veterans of Foreign Wars received its charter.
The application for the charter included the following names:

To the Citizens of Swampscott:
Ladies and Gentlemen :
The year 1955 has again been a year of great concern to your School Committee. The school enrollment for this year as of September 30 was 2447 as against October 1, 1954 of 2320, an increase of 127. Crowded conditions at the Hadley School have forced the Committee to platoon the kindergarten. The report of the High School Building Committee published in May once again stressed the need of a Senior High School to complete our building requirements. The Town Meeting members voted favorably for a Senior High School on June 27, only to have their vote reversed on a referendum vote in July.
A Special Town meeting was called by the School Committee to be held on December 12. We felt that with platoons facing us at the secondary level in September, 1956, we must continue to bring to the townspeople our building needs in order to obtain the essential classroom space. Meetings were held by the School Committee and interested citizens who had formed committees to study school needs. Through the combined efforts of the citizens and the School Committee a joint article was submitted in the Warrant calling for a campus type school to be built on the Whitney Estate on Forest Avenue. The Town Meeting, by a vote of
99
Town of Swampscott
175 to 5 favored this article, and after five days the act became effective. A Committee has been appointed by the Moderator and given authority to construct a High School on this site.
Predicted enrollment increases for the years prior to the opening of our High School will present a challenge to the Superintendent of Schools and the staff. Every effort will be made by them to accommodate all students with the least inconvenience to insure maximum educational efficiency.
The Superintendent's report gives many details about the activities of your School Department. We urge all citizens to read it.
GEORGE A. CHADWELL, Chairman LILLIAN I. WHITE WALTER H. FORBES, JR. WILLIAM H. ROTHWELL, II THEODORE C. SARGENT
To the Swampscott School Committee,
Mrs. White and Gentlemen:
I submit herewith the annual report of the Superintendent of Schools for 1955. New High School Approved
At a special Town Meeting on December 12, 1955, the members gave approval to an article creating a high school building committee and authorizing the con- struction of a new high school. Thus ended a year of concerted activity by large numbers of Swampscott citizens interested in finding an acceptable solution to the housing problems caused by our rapidly increasing enrollments.
In May, reports were released by the High School Building Committee and the Hadley School Building Committee. It was the recommendation of the High School Committee that a new high school be erected on Salem Street. This proposal, although winning approval in the Town Meeting in June, was defeated by referen- dum in July.
During the fall the School Committee, the Citizens' Committee for the Public Schools, and the Committee for Adequate School Facilities worked both inde- pendently and jointly in an effort to resolve the conflicting views regarding the building program. The two citizens groups conceived a proposal whereby a new campus type high school would be built on Forest Avenue on what is known as the Whitney Estate. The estimated cost of construction was $1,270,625. The School Committee, which had originally planned to submit a prospoal similar to that which was defeated in July, gave its endorsement to this new proposal. The article which was approved at the special Town Meeting was sponsored by the three groups.
Plant Improvements
The Hadley School Building Committee which was appointed in July is authorized to expend the sum of $169,024 for the renovation of the Hadley School. It probably will not be possible to complete this project until the new high school is ready for occupancy, but it is expected that a number of improvements will be made in the summer of 1956.
The Building Committee did provide for the installation of new toilet facilities
100
1955 Annual Report
in the basement this fall. The condemnation of the existing equipment in August by the plumbing inspector made immediate replacement imperative. Therefore, the committee proceeded to award contracts for the remodeling of these basement toilets and the installation of new fixtures. This job should be completed shortly after the end of 1955.
This year saw substantial completion of the renovation of the Machon School which was begun in 1952. Exterior and interior painting and the installation of new asphalt tile flooring have created a building which is both attractive and functional.
Because of the over-crowding at the high school, some projects were made necessary in order to accommodate the increased pupil load. Fluorescent light fixtures were installed in the cafeteria to provide the improved lighting needed since this room is now used as a study hall. A basement room was converted into a classroom for mechanical drawing. The homemaking unit was reduced from two rooms to one, thereby making another room available for other classes.
The old fire alarm system in the Hadley School was considered to be unreliable and unsafe. It was completely replaced by a new modern system.
New Ungraded Class
In 1954 the state legislature mandated the establishment of special ungraded classes for those pupils who are mentally retarded. This class, begun in September, 1955, includes pupils from all parts of the town, and is located in the Stanley School. The room has entirely new equipment and furniture and the teacher, Miss Chaletzky, has been especially trained for this type of work. Expenses for this class are partially reimbursed by the state.
The program includes, besides the usual academic work in the fundamental subjects, arts and crafts, and manual training. The class is kept small in number so that each pupil may receive more individual attention than in the regular class- room.
