Building Inspection Department and Board of Health Department Salem, MA 01970 Attention: Writers Salem Legal Notices to me. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I feel aggrieved by the notices and am responding as directed in one of them. I do this to request a hearing to explain the facts concerning my collection of antique vintage classic cars several of which are very rare examples of their marques. Four of the vehicles range from 25 to 32 years old and are classified as antique vehicles by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Four of them were constructed using acrylic( fiberglass like material) bodies. I belong to several specific automobile owners clubs for my vehicles and I have complete sets of monthly newsletters and national magazines relating to the various specific marques. These contain articles on vehicle maintenance and owner experiences with their vehicles and the solution of any service problems that might arise. Among the various periodicals to which I subscribe is the bible of vehicular collection"Hemmings Motor News" famous for offerings of thousands of vehicles in hundreds of makes dating from 1900 until the present. At any hearing I will copy the pages of advertising of the various makes showing the relative offered price structure and detailed descriptions of vehicular condition including mileage. As unbelievable as it may seem one of my vehicles has as few as SIXTEEN HUNDRED(1,600)miles on it. I bought it from the dealer who once sold the vehicles new had owned it since. I have never heard of an example out of the total of four thousand ever produced in any of the three years they were made with such low mileage. It is truly a rare thirty year old vehicle. In July 2004 I underwent a spinal orthopedic back surgery procedure at Salem Hospital and was unable to comfortably drive a manual shift everyday vehicle which necessitated and required me to purchase automatic shift vehicles. In the meantime my back pain has gradually improved to the extent that it is possible to return to manual shift cars without severe discomfort. Several of my daily transport automatic shift cars are for sale. Please let me know the details of the hearing procedure so that I can amass pictures, articles, descriptions newsletters and other material on my several cars. Sincerely: John Coolidge Jr. JOHN W. COOLIDGE Jr. 8 Irving Street Salem, MA 01970-1536 Mr. Thomas St. Pierre Building Commissioner-Zoning Officer 120 Washington Street Salem, MA, 01970 October 29"' 2007 Dear Sir. 1 thought It might be useful to give you some background Information concerning my very long term Interest in automobiles. Before 1 was sixteen 1 had a friend who was restoring a'32 Ford coupe and 1 became interested In cars and what made them run. When 1 turned sixteen and got my license 1 got a two door 135 Ford rumbleseat roadster. Almost continually since then 1 have owned one or more automobiles. Most of them were fairly plain machines which provided not only as transportation but objects on which 1 was able to Improve my mechanical skills. From flat head Fords to twin cam Cortlnas 1 found a hobby which for the most part kept me out of trouble. Over the years 1 have accumulated a collection of tools which make the work 1 attempt reasonably easy. I must admit to being a little overcome by all the computerization now present in current motorcars. For that reason 1 have concentrated on vehicles 25 years or older which are a little easier(especially If you have a factory manual)to understand what Is going on inside them. Among my vehicles aro two 35 year old Bricklins which were conceived by Malcolm Bricklin based on American Motors (AMC) chassis and mechanicals covered by an acrylic fiberglass type body which were assembled in a plant in Nova Scotia. Only slightly over 4500 of those were built most of which still survive today. They were priced ( some where around $5000) to compete with the then current Corvettes and had a hard time competing against General Motors. The Canadian Government which had provided early financing decided not to continue with the project, and so the production of one of the safest vehicles ever built came to an end. Because of several safety features Including steel strengthening the Interior of the doors, and crushable front and rear bumpers they were years ahead of the Industry. They are so unusual that just recently a major TV Network carried a sixteen week Saturday morning show on the restoration of a Bricklin from the frame up. Because they used American Motors or Ford components of those years parts are still available to restorers at reasonable prices. 1 have recently been cleaning out my garage with the objective of working on one Bricklin and perhaps a smaller vehicle inside during the winter months as well as a place to work on my vehicles. ,s With this in mind 1 am writing you as well as copies to go to both the chiefs of the Salem Police and Fire Departments as well as Janet Short at the Board of Health Dept. in the hope of getting a variance as you suggested might be available to get some relief from the number of vehicles which are in violation of various Salem statutes. I am looking forward to your potentially favorable decisions in this matter. John W.

The concern of the Fire Department regarding this structure was that there was an excessive fire load within this building, and that there had been some life/safety equipment that was either in-operable, or out of service. Lack of working fire protection equipment causes this property to be determined an unsafe structure. Under the Building Code, 780 CMR, Section 121 this structure has been deemed unsafe, and therefore any and all Occupancy Certificates have been revoked. In order to bring this property into compliance, permits will need to be filed for any work that is to be done. Inspections by all various inspectional services will need to be accomplished. These include, but are not limited to; Fire Prevention, Health Department, Plumbing and Gas. Upon the completion of this work, and the appropriate sub-trade inspections, please call this office for a final inspection. Once this final inspection has been accomplished, and this property has met the requirements of this code, then we will be able to issue the Required Certificate of Occupancy for this property.

There were far to many to mention all of them. Every room in the house that was visible to us was totally cluttered with boxes,paper products, wood and flammable materials. The outside of the house was similar, 3 unregistered vehicles,4 boats and unregistered trailer. The garage was filled with clutter, including dozens of tires, rims and at least 3 full containers of gas. After discussion with the Health and Fire Department, we decided it is imperative to condemn this house for the safety of the occupant, Mr. John Coolidge. 780 CMR, 121.2 of the Massachusetts State Building Code.
