Veto-Health Agt. stop
So. Essex Sewerage fr Gentlemen of the Council:
dumping sludge-Marl-
. boro Rd. Area I am returning DISAPPROVED this order concerning the Health Agent because the
Board of Health and not the City Council directs his activities.
The Ward Councillor should have learned by this time to refer complaints on
health matters to the Board of Health, the Board vested by law with the responsibility
to regulate and control nuisances.
Very truly yours
s/ Francis X. Collins f
No action for seven days under the rules.
459 The following Veto was 'received from the Mayor.
f Veto-Resolution oppos-
ing treatment plant Gentlemen of the Council:
at Collins Cove
I am returning DISAPPROVED this resolution about Collins Cove because it is an
attempt to deny 40,000 Salemites the benefits of an engineering solution for improv-
ing the local sewerage system.
Some 13,000 of these Salemites living along the banks of the North River in
Wards 2, 4 and 6 have long been clamoring for relief from the periodic noxious con-
ditions emanating from a Peabody-Salem Interceptor which has been too high for Salem,
too small for Peabody and too flat for both. Relief from that distressful situation
should not be now jeopardized because a Ward Councillor deems that the seasonal
recreation of a man-made tidal and replaceable beach would contribute more to his
I
sl
May 8, 1969
political survival than the permanent sewerage improvement for 40,000 other Salemites.
The Councillor would present himself in a far more favorable light if he were to dis-
play the broad comprehension, the keen perception and the mature judgment, indispensa-
ble qualities for those making proper decisions on matters vital to the long run
welfare of this city.
Very truly yours
s/ Francis X. Collins, Mayor
No action for seven days under the rules.
The following Veto was received from the Mayor. 460
Veto-transfer Collins
Gentlemen of the Council: Cove to Park Dept.
I am returning DISAPPROVED this order concerning public land in Collins Cove beach
and playground area because it is an attempt to usurp the power vested in the Superinter .
dent of Public Property. It is a directive to him to declare that the playground land
i
is no longer needed for such purposes. Such declaration is a prior provision necessary
for the transfer of land from his department to another.
Before embarassing his colleagues with further plays designed to obstruct the
selection of a sewage treatment site the Councillor should digest the statutes govern-
ing the transfer of land.
No action for seven days under the rules.

Veto - Planting Ivy
Town House Square Gentlemen of the Council:
I am returning this order DISAPPROVED because municipally owned ivy on private
buildings would create problems of liability for the city. The objective of an im-
proved appearance for Town House Square is, of course, eminently desirable. To
achieve it, the sponsor of this order should address his appeal to the aesthetic sense
and public spirit of the abutting owners. He could point out that the city is doing
its part toward making the cleared area attractive.
Very truly yours
No action for 7 days under rules. S/ Francis X. Collins, Mayor

Veto - TV Inspection
Gentlemen of the Council:
I am returning DISAPPROVED this emergency ordinance requiring TV photography in
sewer inspection because:
1. No emergency involving the health or safety of the public has been established.
The evidence is to the contrary. Despite the torrential down pours of the last few
years there have been no complaints of cellar flooding or of drain back ups in the
fifteen thousand feet installed by the largest sub-division developer.
2. It would place the TV Inspector in the position of trying to serve the interest
of the city and of his paying employer.
3. It would create a monopoly for this type of service. All but one on our list
of suppliers are from out of State.
Very truly yours
FRANCIS X. COLLINS, MAYOR

A communication was received from the City Solicitor submitting his opinion 167
relative to the appointment of Ralph W. Tedford as City Engineer. It was voted to Solicitor's Opinion
receive and file the communication and forward a copy -to each Councillor.
Gentlemen:
This is in reply to your inquiry, directed to me as the result of your vote on
February 12, 1970, regarding the matter of confirmation of Ralph W. Tedford as City
Engineer.
The focus of your question is whether Mr. Tedford can be confirmed at the next
regular meeting pending his acceptance of the position on April 1st.
The appointment and confirmation are provided for by our Revised Ordinances, 1952,
Chapter 2, section 114, requiring the mayor annually, in the month of February, to
appoint a City Engineer, subject to confirmation by the City Council.
Other relevant provisions are to be found in section 116, by which "The city
engineer shall devote his entire time to the business of the city", and in section 28
of Chapter 2, by which "no officer of employee shall receive compensation for services
rnedered unless such employee is performing the full duties of his office or employment
except as provided by law, this division or other ordinances of the city."
The effect of these two sections together is that until such time as the appointee
is in a position, by severance of his ties with other employment, to devote his "entire
time" to the business of the city, the appointee although confirmed could no assume
his duties, and secondly that until able to perform and actually performing the full
duties of his office as city engineer he could not receive compensation.
There is no inconsistency in a confirmation of an appointment, with the actual
employment and compensation therefor to begin at a later date. Indeed, one could
hardlyex appointee to a term of one expect an a oi P Y pp year to sever his ties with a present
employer before knowing that his appointment had received the necessary confirmation.
It would not be fair to require a person as well qualified as Mr. Tedford appears to be
to give up his recent employment before knowing that he has a future employment.
I have no hesitation in advising the City Council as follows:
1. There is no legal impediment to confirmation now of the Mayor's appointment of
Mr. Tedford as City Engineer.
2'7a
February 26 , 1970
2. The city ordinances will not permit the commencement of Mr. Tedfords' duties
until he will have terminated his relationship with his present employer, which from
your inquiry I take to be on April 1, if this relationship would interfere with the
devotion of his "entire time" to the city's business; nor until that time can he re-
ceive compensation for the city for any services rendered.
3. We now have an acting city engineer, fulfilling the duties of this position.
There is no legal impediment to his continuing to serve in the same capacity until
the appointee will have assumed his duties.. .
4.The charter provisions do not- include any reference to the attachment of any
condition to a vote of confirmation. Such an attachment would create legal problems.
In my opinion, it is unnecessary and it therefore would serve no useful purpose. See
the Rules and Orders of the City Counci. , Seca 29, where it is provided that "nomina-
tions made by the mayor. . . .and such action, when taken, shall be by a yea and nay vote.'
It is clear, therefore, that the vote upon confirmation should not be encumbered b
the attachment of any condition.
i
Very truly yours
s/ Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicitor

PUBLIC HEARINQ
The Committee on Public Property held a public hearing in the Council Chamber on
Tuesday, April 7, 1970 at 7:30 P.M. on the application of Albert G. Doane for a permit
to move a building from 29 St. Peter Street over Brown and Howard Streets to Kimball
Court. Notice of the meeting was posted on April 1, 1970 at 10:18 A.M. and published
in the Salem Evening News on Friday, April 3, 1970.
Councillor Jean A. Levesque, Chairman of the Committee on Public Property presided
Present were Councillors Levesque, Perron and Joseph A. O'Keefe; Councillor Butler
was absent.
Chairman Levesque asked if the petitioner Mr. Albert G. Doane, or the owner qr
his Representative would like to speak in favor of the application. Atty. Douglas
Haley, 70 Washington Street, Salem, lawyer for Mr. Frank H. Wetmore, the owner of the
property spoke at length about the historic value of the property to be moved, it
having been traced back to 1836. He pointed out that the two family wooden frame
house was to be moved into an R2 zoning area so should not be a problem as far as zonin
is concerned. He stated they already had the approval of the Building Inspector and
the Superintendent of Streets. He also said that moving the house to another location
was saving the Salem Redevelopment Authority about eight or nine thousand dollars which
it would cost for demolition, and would bring to the City of Salem about eight or nine
hundred dollars a year in taxes. Attorney Haley also pointed out that there was a
chain link fence surrounding this area of Kimball Court and that Mr. Wetmore was think-
ing of replacing it with a more attractive one. There would be space for the parking
of cars for tenants and that the land in front of the replaced building would be
landscaped.
Also speaking in favor was Mrs. James A. Bailey, 120 Federal Street, Director of
Historic Salem Inc. , who read a letter written by her highly recommending the saving
of this building for historical reasons. This letter has been filed with this public
hearing.
Councillor O'Keefe asked Mr. Doane, the building mover, how long it was going to
take to move this building. Mr. Doane said they would start about 9:00 A.M. and it
should be in place before dark. Councillor O'Keefe asked Mr. Doane if he had contacted
the Telephone and Electric Companies relative to the moving of the building. Mr. Doane
said he was waiting until he was sure he was getting a permit and then he intended to
notify the utilities.
Appearing in opposition was Mr. Norris Dozois. He then stated that if the fence
to kept and he can be sure of a right of way and a place to park his car, he would
withdraw his objection. He also stated that his deed gives him the right of way.
Attorney Haley read a letter from the Salem Redevelopment Authority stating that
if the building were to be preserved and moved, the Salem Redevelopment Authority would
301
April 7, 1970
PUBLIC HEARTNn
have to be notified before April 24th.
Councillor O'Keefe suggested that the house be moved on a Sunday after Church
Services so that weekday business traffic would not be affected.
Councillor Levesque requested that a legal opinion relative to the right of
way be obtained from the City Solicitor. Councillor Perron requested that Attorney
Haley get the opinion of both Pastors of the Churches on St. Peter Street.
It was finally decided that the Committee on Public Property would make a report
j on this matter at the April 23rd meeting which would give them time to get a legal
opinion from the City Solicitor relative to the right of way.
On the motion of Councillor Perron the hearing adjourned at 8:28 P.M.

tive to service zones. It was voted that it be received and filed and a copy forwarded Service Zones
to each Councillor.
"This is in reply to your letter of May 15th regarding interpretation of the term
"service zones" as to which chapter 15, section 13 of our ordinances designates a num-
ber of places and public ways in this category. In section z of chapter 15, "Definition "
a service zone is defined as an area in the roadway set aside for the accomodation of
"commercial vehicular traffic".
The ordinance does not furnish any definition in turn of these words "commercial
vehicular traffic".
However, the definition which does appear in the ordinance of the term "commercial
vehicles" describes such a vehicle as one being used in the transportation of goods,
wares or merchandise for commercial purposes. The same ordinance provides for meter
zones and parking meters and parking meter spaces, which by their definitions do not
differentiate between commercial and noncommercial traffic.
The conjunction within our ordinance of provisions for metered parking, applica-
ble to all traffic, and of service zones which specifically are limited by their
definition to "commercial vehicular traffic", leads me to the conclusion that the
intent of the framers of the ordinance in the creation of the provisions relating to
service zones was to provide for the accomodation, temporary in nature, of commercial
vehicles.
The ordinance must be interpreted in its entirety. None of the provisions appear-
ing therein can be disregarded. We must seek to arrive at an interpretation which
gives effect to the ordinance as a harmonious whole so as to carry out the intention
of its framers.
I think that such an interpretation can be found in the following:
The ordinance by definition created service zones, applicable by the definition
thereof to commercial vehicular traffic, and I interpret such use as being confined to
activities connected with commercial establishments, such use by its nature continuing
only for a short period of time. Such period was, at the time of the creation of the
ordinance in section 54 thereof, limited to 15 minutes except while actually engaged in
loading or unloading; provided that such loading or unloading period could be longer,
not to exceed one-half hour. (cont'd)
342
May 28, 1970
C Section 54 was amended on September 9, 1954, and now appears in the 1969 Cumulative
I
Supplement to the ordinances at pages 53-54. Although the amendment was not clearly t
i
and precisely drafted, the essential nature of section 54 has not been changed. As be-
fore, parking is limited to 15 minutes, although while actually engaged in loading or
' ! unloading the period may extend to one-half hour. The amendment seems intended to pro-
! � vide further that the parking ban was not applicable except between 8: A.M. and 6 P.M. ,
but on Saturdays between 8: A.M. and 9 P.M. The definitions were not changed by the
amendment.
It seems worthy of mention that, from common knowledge of the nature of service
zones and their purpose as defined in the ordinance, the use by shoppers and customers
of space in the service zones might well result in the spaces being preempted by such
use and thus made unavailable for such use by the commercial vehicular traffic for the
i benefit of which such zones were created.
I am of the opinion that such use by shoppers and customers was not the intention
C ! of the City Council in framing the ordinance and that it is not permitted in these
service zones."

Gentlemen:
The taxpayers of Salem, Massachusetts ask for your co-operation in the petition
attached to this letter.
We the taxpayers ask that you vote in favor of having all the taxable property in
the City of Salem re-evaluated at 100% of its full and fair cash value.
We counsel your help in the request in two matters.
First, we ask that you vote in favor of this petition because if a negative vote
is forthcoming you will force us to bring suit in the Courts and based on precedence
of the 130 communities in Massachusetts who have gone this route, all have been granted
the revaluation they have sought.
Second, if it is necessary that we go to the courts for the relief we seek, the
city may be delayed in sending out the tax bills for the coming year, therefore, not
having the necessary funds to run the city when they are needed.
We, therefor, seek your help by having you vote affirmative on this petition
thereby starting the revaluation of the city immediately so that there will be no
delay in sending out the tax bills for the coming year.
Thank you

The following Opinion of the City Solicitor was referred to the Committee on 1086
Opinion - no parking
Traffic: Aborn St. Court
Gentlemen:
An order of the City Council dated November 12, 1970, asks me to determine
II, whether the City Council may legally post "no parking" signs on Aborn Street Court.
According to the City Manual, this is an unaccepted street, and I must therefore
advise you that in my opinion there can be no regulation of parking which includes the
posting of signs relating thereto in connection with the use of this particular street.
Very truly yours
Albert R. Pitcoff
City Solicitor
The following Opinion of the City Solicitor was received and filed. 1087
Opinion - tax exempt
Gentlemen: 35 & 37 Loring Ave.
This letter is in reply to your inquiry, by the order dated October 8, 1970,
requesting a legal opinion as to the matter of exemption from real estate tax of the
two dwellings located at #35 and #37 Loring Avenue in Salem.
Numerous specific exemptions from local taxation are provided in General Laws
Chapter 59, Section 5.
The second of these exemptions is "Property of the Commonwealth, except. . . . ."
The last of the exceptions, and the only one which might be applicable, is "real
estate taxable under section 3A". Unless this exception is applicable, and thereby
subjecting commonwealth property to local taxation, the exemption is fully effective.
Sec. 3A is applicable to "real estate owned by or held in trust for the benefit
of the commonwealth or a city or town, if used or occupied for other than public
purposes. . . ."
i
I have inquired from the appropriate authorities as to the circumstances surround-
ing the occupancy by officials of the State College of these two parcels which were
acquired by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The information which I have received
is that the board of trustees of the State College require the president and the
superintendent of the buildings and grounds to live on the campus. This is the purpose
of the acquisition of these parcels, so that in accordance with the requirements of the
board of trustees these two high officials of the college would be on 24-hour duty,
so to speak. The president's home is also used for entertaining for the state in
458
November ;2,5, ,1970
1 connection with his duties. The superintendent is required to be on 24-hour call and
his presence is at all times required. Each of these officials pays a nominal rent
which is paid into the state treasury and which serves only partly to reimburse the
commonwealth to some extent toward the maintenance of these properties.
The occupany of the dwellings in these two parcels (which dwellings are owned by
the commonwealth and are occupied by the president of the college and by the superin-
tendent of buildings and grounds) is beyond doubt aasociated with and required by the
duties of these officials in the administration of the affairs of the college.
It is plain that such use and occupancy by these officials cannot be for other
than performance of their administrative functions within the State College, which in
turn constitutes a vital function of the commonwealth in providing education at public
expense.
That the presence and the maintenance of the State College at Salem is for a
public purpose cannot be doubted; and similarly that the use and occupancy by the
administtrative officials is for the same purpose also cannot be doubted. The fact
that a small rental, not much more than nominal in amount under existing circumstances
is paid to the commonwealth by the respective officials occupying these dwellings
merely constitutes a contribution toward the expense of maintaining these parcels of
real estate. In my opinion the purpose or function of their occupancy is not thereby
changed from a public purpose to a private purpose.
In my opinion these parcels are properly exempted from local taxation. .
Very truly yours

Gentlemen of the Council:
I am returning, DISAPPROVED, the revision of Chapter 16, Section 13 of the
Revised Ordinances of 1952, relating to regulations affecting political signs. In
view of the supplied legal opinion, it is my judgment that the language in said
Ordinance, restricting the erection of political signs on private property, is un-
constitutional.
I am, however, in agreement with the spirit of the Ordinance and would consider
signing a proposal permitting a restriction on the erection and display of political
advertisement on public property, provided it contained the proper constitutional
safeguards.
Very truly yours
Si Samuel E. Zoll, Mayor

1120 The following Opinion of Assistant City Solicitor Donaldson was received and filed
Solic. Opinion - Pumps
405 Essex St. Gentlemen of the Council:
At your meeting of November 25, 1970 you referred to the City Solicitor the
k
application of Raymond St. Pierre to increase gasoline storage facilities at 405A
Essex Street by reason of possible conflict with the fire code.
The gas pumps of the applicant are at the sidewalk curbing. The location of the
i
pumps is not in conflict with the fire code which has no bearing on the application.
However, the Zoning Ordinance, Section VII, B-2, requires that all pump islands must
be set back a minimum of 15 feet from all property lines. The pumps in question were
present before the zoning law and are maintainable as a non-conforming use. Hence,
i
the zoning law does not prohibit the storage facilities applied for. The Fire Depart-
ment informs me that they favored the application since it would mean less trips of
the tank truck and consequently would diminish fire hazards by reducing visits of the
i
tanker.
The application for increased storage is not in conflict with existing ordinances. j
Very truly yours
William H. K. Donaldson
