Opinion City The following Opinion of the City Solicitor was received and placed Solicitor - Inflammables on file on the motion of Councillor Rafter: License. Gentlemen of the Council: At a meeting of the City Council held March 9, 1950, the following C Order was adopted: Ordered: The City Solicitor is hereby requested to advise the Council 1. Whether or not the City Council has the right to revoke a license to keep, store and sell gasoline at number 146 Boston Street herebefore granted by a previous City Council. !CI 2. If the City Council has such right , what proper method should be employed to accomplish this revocation. IHE THE law covering the granting of licenses to keep, store and sell A: gasoline is governed by Gen. Laws ; Chap. 148 , Sec. 13 as amended. The II city council under this section has the power to grant licenses to keep, store and sell gasoline subject to the right of any party aggrieved by a act, rule , order or decision of the licensing authority to appeal to the State Fire Marshal. The City Council has the power under this section to revoke any license granted hereunder for cause, after notice and a hearing given to C'OT" I A_' " Nor, r sv. ►ai of q P - - 81 April 13,.-195a S��such owner of t e icense or occupant o t e icense an a ourts have consistently held that a revocation cannot be effected except for cause sufficient in law. A license subject to forfeiture for violation of the conditions upon which it was to be exercised, cannot be revoked or recalled by the licensing board either arbitrarily or because they considered it to have been injudiciously granted in the first instance, or for any similar reason. It is apparent from the decisions under this section, the City Council can only revoke the within license for cause shown and only after a notice to the holder of the license and a hearing. Such notice must also set forth with reasonable particularity the grounds upon which the board intends to proceed. From facts available to me, it appears that at the time of the granting of this license , a full and exhaustive hearing was held at which all parties were heard. Since the granting of this license, the records of the City Clerk' s Office show that the licensee has conformed to the law by registering the license every April, the time limit for register- ing such licenses; therefore; my answer to Question No. 1 is: The City S. Council cannot revoke the license herebefore granted by a previous Council, except for cause shown. I have already set forth in detail the procedure asked by Question No. 2: namely that notice, and a hearing must be granted the licensee. Very truly yours , s/ James J.

In reply to your request as to the status of the appropriation of 42625.00. t1Co-Ord inater"Grade Crossing Elimination, which matter is presently before the City Council ; I have checked the rules of the City Council and Cushing' s Manual of Parliamentary Practice. As I understand the facts; there was an acceptance of a majority report and an 8ttempt to amend the majority report, followed by various motions to amend and reconsiderations culminating with a notice of reconsideration of the acceptance of the majority report. A majority report cannot be amended but the proper procedure is to move that the views of the minority be substituted for the views of the majority. As this procedure was not followed it is my opinion that the only matter before the Council is the acceptance of the majority report 1 subject to the notice of reconsideration of that report. Any action on this appropriation will have to proceed from that point either in affirmative or the negative depending of the wishes of the Council. Very truly yours s/ James J.

A Police Department is hereby established which shall consist of a City Marshal, two Captains , seven Lieutenants , six of whom shall act a s Inspectors and one of whom shall be designated as Chief Inspector and one of whom shall be designated as Traffic Lieutenant in charge of the Traffic Division of the Police Department, four Sergeants fifty-two Patrolmen, one of whom shall act as a Parking Meter Collection and Maintenance Man and one of whom shall be designated as a Firearm Technician, twenty-five Reserve Officers) one Clerk, two Matrons and one 106 f May li 1950 Police C aufeeur- atro man. The difference between the above and the present Section .l is that it eliminates that section which says that three of the Patrolmen shall act as MVtorcycle Officers to be on duty in that capacity from April 1st to November 1st of each year and such other times as the City Marshal may order. The reason for this change is that on my way through the ranks I believe that motorcycles could be a dangerous Police implement I ' and the same work formerly done by motorcycles could be done in a safer, more efficient and more rapid manner by the use of two additional small cars which your honorable body so graciously voted for this Department. From 1943 the Ordinance was changed whereby a man was designated as Police Chauffeur-Patrolman and the number of permanent Patrolmen was reduced from fifty-two to fifty-one but in the budget since that time the salaries were for fifty-two Patrolmen and every time a vacancy came up a regular man was appointed thereby maintaining a strength of fifty-two men. I therefore request that this error , that was in existence since 1943 , be changed to call for fifty-two Patrolmen. I request that one of the Inspectors shall act as Chief Inspector because your honorable body was good enough to allow 4300.00 extra as compensation for a Chief Inspector in this years budget . Very truly yours , s/ Joseph V. McDonough City riarshal v 439.

After reading the applicable sections of the General Laws and the rules and regulations of the director of Civil Service it is my opinion that step-rate increases are not mandatory for personnel in the Welfare Department.

Report - 941. A communication was received from the Mayor forwarding the following Salem-Beverly Water' a Supply. report to the Councillors: Dear Sirs: 1 A study of the effects of the drought of 1949 which has continued I k into the year 1950 has shown it to be severe in the northeastern portion of Massachusetts. Investigation of the conditions of water supply of the 216 - _ October_2.4_r-1950-- cities of Salem and Beverly show that, at the present time , the level of Wenham Lake is 0.9 of a foot lower than it has ever been before at this time of year. Records show that , in spite of the temporary relief by complete metering of services , the water consumption has increased in each of the two cities to a total amount approximating the safe yield of the sources of supply. The matter of increased water supply for the cities of Salem and Beverly to serve these cities has been studied on II numerous occasions and has been reported to the Legislature in House Document 301 of 1928 and House Document 534 of 1937. This matter was discussed in all of its phases by the interested parties at a meeting held in the Division of Sanitary Engineering of the Department on October 20, 1950. The Department of Public Health is of the opinion that the water supply of the cities of Salem and Beverly may most appropriately be increased by providing additional storage for the spring flows of the Ipswich River by the construction of the so-called Putnamville Reservoir located for the most part in the town of Danvers. Section 9 of Chapter 700 of the acts of 1913 provides in part: ". . . . .that if, in the judgment of the said water supply board, such additional facilities for storage shall at any time be necessary or advisable , said water supply board shall so report and recommend to said cities , and upon the concurrent action of both city govern- ments approving and authorizing such construction said water supply board may proceed with the construction f o such additional facilities for storage. If the two city governments do not agree as to the time when such additional facilities shall be constructed, the state board of health shall decide as hereinbefore provided." The Salem-Beverly Water Supply Board has recommended repeatedly that n additional storage reservoir be constructed and in its annual report or the year ending December 31, 1949, stated in part as follows: "The board feels that the time has come to forcefully call to the attention of both communities a condition which has been referred to with monotonous regularity in its annual reports going back as Q far as 1927. . . . ." Accordingly, the Department requests that you, as Mayor of the city of Salem bring this matter before your city government with a view (1) to obtaining its approval and authorization to construct i additional facilities for storage of the spring flows of the Ipswich II River; (2) to obtaining its approval and authorization for introducing a bill to the Legislature for increasing the amount of bond indebted ness which may be incurred by the two cities for the construction of v � ►vv�.t, t �- - October 26 1950 such additional storage. The Department of Public Health wishes to be informed on or before December 1, 1950, by an attested copy of the votes of the city government as to the action taken in this matter. Respectfully, Vlado A. Getting Commissioner, Dept. of Fublic Health. On the motion of Councillor Rafter copies to be sent to each member of the Council. 942. . rtrait of 1 A communication was received from the Mayor relative to the request Governor Bradstreet Po of the Stevens Memorial Library, North Andover for the loan of the in Council Chamber, portrait of Governor Bradstreet, which hangs in the Council Chamber.

Our most recent survey covered the following cities adjacent to I ! New York City: 1. Carmel, N. Y. which has a Morse-Bolger type. 2 . White Plains , N. Y. which has a Nye Type. 3 . New Iiochelle , N. Y. " " " Morse-Boulger Type. 4. Mount Vernon, N. Y. " " " Nichols Engineering Co. Type. � f ! 5. Pelham, N. Y. which has a Pittsburgh-DesMoines type. We were escorted on this survey which covered aperoximately 200 Miles by an engineer from the horse-Bolger Co. who explained the workings thoroughly and answered every question satisfactorily. An no time was he 254 - - --- --- -- - Jece:noer 14, 1950 boardful of the Morse-Bolger type incinerator nor did he attempt to pressure us in influencing our preference for his company' s design. We started this survey at 8:00 A. M. on Saturday and completed it at 6:45 P.M. that same evening and it was the general opinion of the Committee that we gained considerable knowledge. As Chairman of the Committee I wish to thank the members for their continued interest in obtaining some solution of our dump nuisance which is located in Ward 4 Ilk and also for the financial sacrifice they made in acquiring additional knowledge of the workings of an incinerator. The trip did not cost the city a penny in as much as we accepted an invitation extended by the Morse-Bolger Incinerator Co. to come to New York and view first hand the latest designs in incinerators. Travelling and incidental expenses were borne by each Committee member while our hotel accommodations were furnished by the aforemention- ed concern. In view of the serious international situation which has brought about a critical material situation which undoubtedly will curtail production and hamper building construction in this category the committee at this time cannot make any recommendations which would . completely solve our dumping nuisance.. Therefore, we offer this as a report of progress pending a final report at some future date. For the Committee Thomas F. Tighe , Chairman. " Report accepted. 1092 . icenses & Permits.

The following opinion of the City Solicitor was referred to the 1124.Opinion- CoiLnittee on Licenses & Permits on the motion of Councillor Rafter: Bus lines. Gentlemen: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter requesting my opinion as the rights andduties of the City Council in relation to the applica- tion of Frederick F. Foley for a license to operate a motor bus for the carrying of passengers for hire upon the public ways within the City of Salem. The law governing the operation of motor vehicles for the carrying of passengers for hire, similar to that afforded by a railway company is contained in Chapter 159A of the General Laws as amended. Sections 1, 2 , 3 and 4 of said Chapter 159A contains all the law relative to the rights and duties of Cities. Under Section 1 of Chapter 159A , the City Council is designated as the licensing authority. Under this Section the license grant4d by the City Council may limit the number of vehicles to be operated thereunder. Any person receiving a license under this section shall be subject to such rules , regulations and orders adopted by the Council under authority of said Chapter 159A in respect to the operation of such vehicles , subject to a right of appeal to the Department of Public Utilities. Section 2 of said Chapter 159A sets out that any license issued thereunder shall specify the route or routes over which the motor vehicles used thereunder may be operated, and shall be on a form approve by the D. P. U. , but a license issued shall be valid even though there be a variance with the approved form it it is in substantial conformity December 28, 1950_ with the approved form. Section 3 deals with the procedure wherein the route is through several cities or towns and Section 4 deals with the inactive licenses and the revomation of active licenses. It is my opinion that the City Council in relation to this Petition may grant a license , although not obliged to, and in granting such a i license may limit the number of buses to be operated thereunder. The City Council in granting such a license must specify the route or routes over which the buses are to be operated and the license must be on a form approved by the D. P. U. or on a form in substantial conformity with the approved form of the D. P. U. j Any license issued under authority of this Chapter shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor. Although the Statute is silent in regard to a hearing, I presume a hearing will be held so that the City Council can acquaint itself with all the facts. Very truly yours, James J. Bradley Wage Increase 1125.

I have already reduced the departmental estimates �183 ,975.00. Except for the School Department , these departmental estimates do not include the cost of living adjustment. I ask the Council to give careful and serious consideration to every item in the budget in the hope that there will be no serious interruption of essential services or injustice to faithful employees. The following departments have made the most substantial contribu- tion to this increase: I The Health Department estimate is up some 448,000.00 due to increas f in ashes and refuse collection, garbage collection and general administration. The Public Property estimate is up some 019,000.00 due principally I i to the City Home, City Hall and Fire Department items. i The School Department estimates are up some $83 ,000.00 with the cost of living adjustment and the high school boilers accounting for most of the increase. The Street Department estimate is up some �29,000.00 due mainly to increases in highway maintenance , snow and ice and garage items. Other items , incidentally, show reductions which help compensate for some of the increases. Veteranst Services estimate is up 9'22,000.00 Over the amount first allowed in 1950. Actually, it is only � 91000.00 more than finally allowed under a supplementary budget. 300 February_8j 1951 The Welfare estimate is up some " 75,000.00 with •the items of General Relief, Old Age Assistance and City Home Salaries and Expenses accounting for most of the increase.

The following opinion of the City Solicitor was received and made a Opinion -City Solicitor - Appt. matter of record : Sealer of Weights & Measures. Gentlemen of the Council: You have inquired "whether the nomination of the sealer of Weights and Vieasures requires confirmation of the City Council". Section 1. of Chapter 49 of the City Ordinances provides that the sealer shall be appointed by the mayor subject to confirmation by the City Council. He shall hold office during good behavior and can be removed only by the Mayor with the approval of the Council. The history of the Sealer and Deputy Sealer of Weights and !Measures can be found in the various statutes starting with G. L. Chap. 62 Par.l$ which expressly provided that sealers of weights and measures should be appointed annually and was in force until 3t. 1914 Chap. 452 enacted that appdintments should be made during good behavior in cities and in 27 0 -- towns of over 10,000 inhabitants. Statute 1909 authorized the civil service commissioners to include the sealers within the classified civil service. Statute of 1920 placed the sealer and deputy sealer of weights and measures under civil service but as to the then incumbent it did not extend his term if he was appointed for a definite or fixed term. It is apparent that our ordinance was enacted under the provisions of St. 1914 Chapter 452 and Chapter 39 Sec. 1 of the General Laws which provides that all the mayor's appointments shall be subject to confirmation and reject- ment by the council. Chapter 31 of the General Laws deals with Civil Service. Section 4 provides as follows : "the following among others shall be included within the classified civil service by rules of the commission. Sealers of Weights and Measures etc. -- All sealers and deputy Sealers of Weights and measures in towns of over ten thousand inhabitants and in cities, whether such officers are heads of prinicpal departments or not and also the inspector of standards in the service of the Commonwealth. Section 5. provides that no rule made by the commission shall apply to the selection or appointment of any of the following: "officers whose appointment is subject to confirmation by the city council, except those expressly made subject to this chapter by Section forty-seven C ; heads of principal departments of the Commonwealth or of a City except as otherwise provided by section four or as otherwise required by section forty-seven C . Chapter 98, Section 34 of the General Laws provides that subject to chapter 31, the mayor of each city and the selectman of each town of over ten thousand inhabitants shall appoint a sealer , and may appoint one or more deputies to act under the direction of the sealer." It is a general rule of law that if a city ordinance is inconsistent or repugnant or goes beyond the power conferred by general law it must give way to the general law. Section 15 of�:Chapter 1 of the City Ordinanc states that "nothing in these ordinances shall be construed in such a manner as to be in conflict with the civil service rules. " After reading Chapter 98 in conjunction with Chapter 31, I feel that the rules and regulations relative to the qualifications and selection of candidates for positions within the civil service are a complete sub- stitute for confirmation and no confirmation of the appointment of the Mayor is necessary in this instance. Where the legislature exempted certain officers from the civil service because confirmation was required and then took one of these offices which would normally require confirma- tion and placed it under civil service I think it demonstrates that the legislature intended to remove the office from the qualification of 3V !Y f April_26r--1951,- ----- confirmation, placing it squarely within the provisions of civil service subject only to the restriction that the appointing authority conform to the rules and regulations of the civil service relative to the selection and qualifications of the person selected to fill the office. I take this point of view which might seem to be in direct conflict with Chapter 39 Sec . 1 because I feel that a legislative act must be interpre ed as of the date it becomes effective. Chapter 39 was passed in 1902 and sections applicable to the sealer of weights and measures was passed in 1920; therefore it is my opinion that the appointment of the sealer of weights and measures does not require the confirmation of the City Council.

"Gentlemen of the Council: By an order adopted at a meeting of the Council, September 27 , 1951; you have requested that I advise the Council of its rights in the matter of a request of the Northeastern Gas Transmission Co. for certain ease- ments across parcels of land controlled by the Salem-Beverly water Supply Board. This area through which the right of way will pass was acquired under the provisions of Chapter 700 of the Acts of 1913 . Although the taking was by the Beverly-3alem water Supply Board it nevertheless vested title in the City of Salem to the above area as a tenant in common with the City of 3@rly. N; I —------ -- --- _951 - There is no question that the area involved is municipally owned aldn and requires a vote of the Council, because , the request for an easement is a grant of municipally owned real estate. I suggest , that the proper way to deal with this request would be to adopt an order granting the easement and authorizing the Mayor to execute proper and sufficient legal instruments pertaining to this easement. As -� 1 the Salem Beverly Water Supply Board has control of the real estate I also advise , that , the locution of the easement and the locution of the pipe or pipes be shown on a plan approved by the Salem-Beverly Water Supply Board. Enclosed , please find an order I have drawn granting the requested easement subject of the restrictions which I have set forth above. Very truly yours , /s/ James J.
