The Board of Public Works herewith submits its sixth annual report to the citizens of the Town of Swampscott for the year 1961.
Mr. Francis N. Lang was unanimously elected Chairman for 1961 at the meeting of the Board held after Town Meeting. He served as Chairman until September 30, 1961 when he resigned from the Board. At a joint convention of the Board of Selectmen and the two remaining members of the Board of Public Works, Mr. George J. Burke was elected to the Board to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Lang. At a meeting of the Board of Public Works held on October 19, 1961, Mr. Alfred N. Frazier was elected Chairman.
The Department of Public Works for administrative purposes are divided into six service divisions. A general report of each division's activity follows with a summary of accomplishments completes the 1961 report.
CEMETERY DIVISION
This Division has four employees, and with assistance from other Divisions, especially before Memorial Day, the Cemetery is maintained, and the Town can well be pleased with a job well done.
The completion of an undeveloped area, to the left of the Veterans Lot, into a rock garden has beautified this section and many complimentary remarks have been received on the appearance.
There were 85 interments from December 6, 1960 to December 27, 1961. All receipts for interments, lot sales, liners, foundations, etc., were paid to the Town Treasurer.
The section of the Cemetery developed in 1956 has all been sold and the section developed in 1960 was opened in February, 1961, this section should last about two years. A large new area is being developed containing about 700 lots. The drainage of about 1000 lineal feet of various size pipes from 36-inch to 24- inch with catch basins and manholes has been installed in this area, with the existing gravel fill leveled off in preparation for the fine gravel fill to be placed in the spring of 1962. Loam has been purchased for placing on the lots to be developed. Bituminous concrete roads will be constructed and a granite wall will be built on Essex Street. Diseased and rotted trees have been removed. The stone wall of the Chapel should be pointed in 1962. A new 3-stall garage should be constructed to replace the old office building in the old section of the cemetery.

Because projects requiring engineering services are usually described in the annual reports of the various divisions and departments concerned, no listing of such projects is repeated here.
HIGHWAY DIVISION
This Division has twenty-two employees, and from this Division assistance is given to the other Divisions requiring added personnel for short periods of time and for special priority projects.
As voted by the Annual Town Meeting various streets were reconstructed with bituminous concrete, granite curbs and granite corner curbs installed, bitumi- nous concrete curbs placed.
Other streets were seal coated with asphalt and pea stone, and gravel streets were oiled and sand covered.
Under general maintenance all catch basins were cleaned in the spring and fall, streets and sidewalks were swept, patched, plowed, sanded and repaired. Beaches were cleaned, drains flushed and repaired.
59
Town of Swampscott
In the fall the leaf machine does a remarkable job of cleaning up leaves.
Traffic lines and signs were replaced by this Division for the Police Depart- ment, and cross walks on Humphrey Street were again painted a solid traffic green for the safety of the pedestrians.
Many new bituminous concrete sidewalks were constructed under the Con- tinuous Sidewalk Program and other old bituminous concrete sidewalks were re- surfaced under the Sidewalk Replacement Fund.
The additional summer employees that are procured from the eligible civil service list are high school and college students. These employees are used in various capacities such as wheeling bituminous concrete, assisting in curb laying, cutting grass, beach cleaning, etc. This past summer all regular Public Works Employees, except an emergency crew, were given the first two weeks in July as vacations, and with the summer help assisting the emergency crew, all maintenance work continued as usual. All major construction projects were suspended for this period.
PARK DIVISION
This Division has twelve employees.
Going into the new year with ice from Christmas week, good ice was main- tained at the hockey rink for twenty-eight (28) days and at Abbott Park for slightly less, due to flooding conditions that requires the frost to penetrate deeply into the ground before water can be applied. Snow removal is also more difficult at Abbott Park. The assignment of one of the division men to be a skating partolman kept the skaters from the hockey players. A time switch installed on the floodlight allowed for longer night skating.
Throughout the winter season the men and equipment worked with the High- way Division on snow plowing and snow removal.
Servicing spring football, track, baseball and tennis, followed by the planting of flower beds and the general cleanup of shrub beds, grass maintenance, and beach cleaning.
The summer season extra men were added to care for the cleaning of beaches, life guards, a beach policeman, parking space attendants and help for the various fifty-six (56) acres of parks. A new large tractor drawn aerifier was added to the equipment and all athletic fields were spiked, thus allowing a deeper penetration of grass roots. The result was gratifying by stronger turf in the stadium. New football regulations required the widening of the goal posts so the entire field was relocated.
The fine new pier, having been accepted by the Public Works Board, was placed under the Park Division for maintenance. It was patrolled by regular policemen.
The Division lost by death its foreman, Mr. Frank Buonanduci, who served the Town for thirty years.
SHADE TREES: A total of 208 shade trees were planted, continuing as in past years. Flowering hawthornes, flowering cherries, sugar maples, and tailored
60
1961 Annual Report
trees were used. Vandalism and accidents caused a fall replacement of ten sugar maples. All dangerous and diseased trees were removed and their stumps eliminated by our stump cutter. Large protruding roots were either eliminated or flattened for new sidewalk construction.
Fifty-one (51) elm trees, the result of the Dutch Elm disease, were removed. Other elms were sprayed at least twice with D.D.T., Malathion and Sevin. Many of the finer elms were sprayed with a liquid fertilizer.
During the spraying season all hawthornes were sprayed with applications of Ferbam, Zineb, Malathion and Sevin. The work of the solitary leaf miner and the twig pruner caused great trouble with oak trees. The annual yard to yard spraying was carried out for a ten-week period.
SEWER DIVISION
This Division has four employees and they are responsible for the maintenance and repairs of all Main Sewers. They also clean all brooks and maintain the operation and up-keep of the motorized equipment at the Sewer Pumping Station.
The following work was completed in 1961:
(a) Particular Sewers inspected
28 House connections
(b) Main Sewers rodded and inspected 280 Streets
(c) Main Sewers cleaned and flushed 220 Streets

The men of this Division assist in the construction of new roads, raising man- hole rings and covers, and the new construction of drains, manholes and catch basins.
A new tide gate was installed in the Marshall Street Drain. The construction and installation was completed by the personnel of this Division with the assist- ance of the Engineering Division.
The wooden culvert at Preston Beach, which was demolished by high tides and storms, was temporarily repaired with reinforced cement concrete pipe until a permanent reinforced cement concrete culvert is constructed.
All this work was made possible without interference with the Sewer Mainte- nance by additional help from the Summer Help Program.
With the purchase of the new four-wheel drive jeep, the personnel assists in road plowing, thereby eliminating hiring a truck from a private contractor.
A stand-by operation to attend the motorized equipment in the Pumping Station, is in effect as a twenty-four hour surveillance must be maintained during week-ends and holidays. This must be carried on to operate the equipment during excessive rain storms and proper operation of the sewer system.
The combined operation of the chlorinator and the Division Chamber relieved the pollution in Stacey Brook. The cost of operating the Chlorinator is assumed on a cooperative basis by the Town and the City of Lynn.

Breaks were repaired in two of our larger mains.
In the streets under construction all the old iron services were renewed from the main to the sidewalk, the service boxes and gate boxes were brought to grade and a constant vigilance was kept during construction to insure that these struc- tures were maintained in good order.
180 lineal feet of 6" cast iron cement lined main was installed in Hanley Road.
243 lineal feet of 12" and 8" cast iron cement lined mains were extended in Parsons Drive.
Meters were read quarterly.
Hydrants were flushed in the spring and inspected and winterized in the late fall.
We are continuing to make progress in the improvements to the system. A new regulating valve has been installed in New Ocean Street, at the beginning of our supply from the M.D.C. system. A telemetering device has been installed at the standpipe in conjunction with the new regulator in order that a more constant head may be maintained in the standpipe for the purpose of sustaining a more constant pressure in the system.
The installation of 280 lineal feet of 10" cast iron cement lined pipe in Den- nison Avenue from the 12" main in Salem Street to the 10" main in Humphrey Street has been completed.
In Ryan Place the 2" main has been replaced with 366 lineal feet of 6" cast iron cement lined pipe.
The installation of a 10" cast iron cement lined main from the 10" main in Humphrey Street, through Forest Avenue, tying in Witman Road and eventually connecting into the 10" main in Forest Avenue near Laurel Road is in progress.
The installation of the above new water mains are in accordance with the plan to improve the water distribution system in the Town of Swampscott.
Assistance was given by this Division in snow removal, road building, curb laying and New Cemetery Development.
