REPORT OF SELECTMEN
January 1, 1928 ..
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Selectmen organized March 12, 1927 and elected Frank C. New- hall, Chairman; Ralph E. Cox, Secretary; and Joseph F. Smith.
The board has had an unusually busy year as members of the Town. Hall Building Committee in addition to their regular work.
The newly remodeled Town Hall was completed and ready for use in December, 1927.
The board felt that the stage was in need of a new curtain. After careful consideration a blue velour curtain trimmed with gold braid was. selected from Goddard Bros., in Lynn, Mass.
The only thing lacking now are shelves in the check room and more seats and a new piano in the upper hall.
Additional insurance of $30,000 has been placed on the building and contents.
The board has been confronted with the nuisance of keeping pigs in certain localities this year. After consulting legal advice we found there was no by-law prohibiting the keeping of pigs in any locality in Town. Steps were taken to adopt a by-law to prohibit the keeping of pigs in the Town without a permit. This by-law was adopted and approved by the Attorney General.
At the time of writing this report legal steps are being taken to remove pigs from Lynnfield causing a nuisance located on the Newburyport Turn- pike.
On April 5th, 1927, the board attended a public hearing called by the Department of Public Utilities on petition of the Eastern Massachusetts Electric Company for authority to construct and use lines for transmis- sion of electricity along the right of way of Boston & Maine Railroad. At this hearing the officials of the cities and towns and also many citi- zens opposed this petition. Inasmuch as the petition was opposed unani- mously the Department of Public Utilities did grant the Company permis- sion to construct and use lines for transmission of electricity. All that
is left for the Company to obtain to construct their lines is permit from the cities and town officials to cross their highways. As we understand it, if three adjoining cities and towns together refused such permit they could not pass such highway. A joint meeting held in Lynnfield by officials of Danvers, Peabody, Topsfield, Wakefield and Lynnfield was held to dis- cuss the situation. It was voted to employ Attorney Donnell to look up just what legislation the Electric Company had obtained and take steps to stop any operation that might start if possible.
After four or five years in trying to obtain help from the State High- way Commission for aid in rebuilding Main Street, we were turned down again this year. We are nearer to obtaining this aid in 1928 than we were
22
before, we believe. This year we have been informed by the Commission that they have made an allotment for this work. Also the surveyors have been over the street and done considerable work in laying it out.
Respectfully submitted, Frank C. Newhall, Chairman. Ralph E. Cox, Secretary Joseph F. Smith
REPORT OF TOWN HALL BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Town of Lynnfield :
The Committee appointed at the March, 1927, Town Meeting to alter and enlarge Town Hall, met and organized March 24, 1927.
Joseph F. Smith, Chairman.
Franklin W. Freeman, Treasurer.
Andrew Mansfield, Clerk.
Frank C. Newhall.
Ralph E. Cox.
Several meetings were held when sketches and suggestions were re- ceived from architects.
On April 18, Mr. George A. Cornet of Lynnfield was chosen to serve as architect and instructed to furnish plans and specifications for a hall with enlarged stage and a seating capacity of 500.
These plans and specifications were to be divided into four contracts, namely :
1. General Contract to include building, painting, mason work, etc.
2. Plumbing and Heating.
3. Electrical Work.
4. Excavating, foundation and grading.
On May 11, 1927, bids were asked for same to be submitted to Building Committee on or before 8.30 P. M., May 26, 1927.
May 26, 1927, bids were received, ranging as follows.
9 on General Contract from $12,750.00 to $17,000.00.
6 on Plumbing and Heating from $3,585.00 to $4,762.00.
6 on Electrical work from $745.00 to $1361.00.
3 on Excavating and Foundation from $1,300.00 to $1,600.00. Contracts were awarded to:
Morrison Construction Co., of Lynn, Mass. General Contract. $12.750.00
Edgar W. Miller of Lynn, Mass. Plumbing and Heating. $3.585.00
William E. Gilson of Lynnfield. Electrical Work. $745.00 John W. Sheehan of Lynn, Mass. Excavating and Foundation, etc. $1,300.00
Lynn Gas and Electric Co. Heaters.
$1,430.00
Payments on these contracts to be made as the work reached certain stages.
23
Fifteen per cent of contracts to be withheld until forty-one days after acceptance by the Building Committee.
Some changes and additions were found advisable as the work pro- gressed which entailed some extra expense.
A supporting column was removed from center of Lower Hall and re- placed with steel girders.
The floor in Lower Hall was of spruce and it seemed wise to use the maple floor in Main Hall to relay this and have a completely new floor in Main Hall.
After much investigation as to the most suitable fuel to use in heating plant it was finally decided to install an automatic Gas Heating System thus dispensing with the expense of constant janitor service.
The work as per contracts was accepted Dec. 1, 1927 by the Building Committee, thus bringing the final payments due Jan. 10, 1928.
The financial report will be found in report of Town Accountant.
The Committee wish to extend their appreciation to:
Mr. George A. Cornet, who kindly donated his services in the super- vision of the construction work.
Mr. William E. Gilson for many changes and extras at no added ex- pense.
Reading Light Plant for donation of new light bulbs.
Respectfully submitted,
Andrew Mansfield, Clerk.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN PLANNING AND ZONING
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Committee on Town Planning and Zoning, appointed in accord- ance with your Instructions at the Town Meeting in March, 1927, have carefully considered the question of advisability of adoption by the Town of zoning by-laws. Three members of the Committee attended the meet- ing of the Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards at Greenfield in October, 1927. and derived much benefit from the conference. Members of the Committee have appeared before clubs and other groups of our citizens and have endeavored to inform the people what the subject of town zoning covers, its advantages and limitations.
The Committee had hoped to be able to present to the Town at the Annual Meeting in 1928 a zoning plan and zoning by-laws, but as the subject was studied it became clear that, although the Committee could present by-laws, they doubted their ability (as none of them is an en- gineer or draftsman) to prepare a plan dividing the town into zones which would be worked out with sufficient care that it properly should be adopted by the Town. The Committee has come to the conclusion that the pre --
21
paration of this plan is the work of a skilled engineer, one reason being that the boundaries must be carefully worked out and laid down so that they will be clear and stand for at least some years in the future.
The Committee, therefore, have decided, and recommend, that an appropriation be made by the citizens at the Annual Town Meeting in 1928 sufficient to cover the cost of preparation of such a plan, and, in ad- dition, sufficient to cover the cost of printing the plan and accompanying by-laws. (Nothing was spent by the Committee from the appropriation of $200 made at the Annual Town Meeting in 1927). They are informed that it will cost approximately $500. for the necessary work by draftsmen and engineers. To this must be added a sum to cover the cost of print- ing. This should not exceed $100. To be on the safe side, however, the Committee have fixed the amount at $200 and have inserted an article in the warrant for the Annual Meeting asking for an appropriation of $700., and ask that they be authorized to continue their work. It is their pur- ' pose, if the appropriation is made and the Committee continued, immedi- ately to start the work of the preparation of a plan and when it is com- pleted and hearings held, which it is hoped will be within a few weeks after the Town Meeting, to call a Special Town Meeting at which the plan (possibly modified as the result of hearings) will be presented, together with the by-laws, and the whole subject passed upon by the citizens of the town.
In closing, the Committee desire to be recorded as unanimously of the opinion that zoning by-laws will be decidedly advantageous to the town as a whole and it is their earnest hope that such by-laws will be adopted when presented to the Town for action.
Respectfully submitted.
