Veto - Ord. Reclassi-
fying City Marshal Gentlemen of the Council:
The ordinance adopted for first passage on December 10, 1970, and for the second
and final passage on December 23, 1970, which in effect seeks to promote retroactively,
from Job Group XV to Job Group XVI, the position of City Marshal, is returned herewith l
without my approval or signature.
The City Solicitor has advised me, and I concur, that this ordinance is objection-
able because it violates Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 44, section 33A. In
particular, the attempt to make this salary amendment retroactive to June 23, 1970,
could not be made legally effective and nullifies the ordinance.

fying Timekeeper, Gentlemen of the Council:
Messenger, Motor Equip
o the Council herewith, without my approval, the ordinance which
Oper.Spec.Park & Ass't I return t
Veterans Agent employees, b changing their
tl increases the salaries relating to four (4) selected em P Y Y g g
classifications.
I am advised, both the the City Solicitor and by our collective bargaining counsel,
lthat the functions of the Personnel Relations Review Board are superceded by the
selection by City employees of a collective bargaining representative. Such appeals
must be brought, d processed, not by the individual employee involved, but by their
g an
union representative. The process by which applications have been acted upon by the
Board has therefore not been authorized by the collective bargaining statute.
In addition, the impact of Civil Service procedures which are regulated by law,
must be carefully considered as a prerequisite to the taking of such action.
The useful and orderly processing of applications made by persons within collectiv
bargaining groups requires their being brought by the union ewpewawnrative on behalf of
€ the individual employees. This is well understood by the representatives of the State
and City Employees Union.
Furthermore, I have in mind the continuing necessity for further study and
possible revision of wage classifications in general. (�
In regard in particular, I expect the service of the Board to be most valuable.
Study of such potential revions can only be impeded by, and are inconsistant with,
proposals for action favoring only individual employees.
For these reasons, I am constrained to VETO this ordinance, returned to you here-
with without my approval.

The following Opinion was received from the City Solicitor. Councillor Burke 120
Opinion - Withdraw
moved that it be received and recorded. It was so voted. From MBTA
Gentlemen:
The City Council at its meeting of January 28th requested the Office of the City
Solicitor to render its opinion as to whether the City of Salem can join with other
communities and legally withdraw from the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority.
The method by which discontinuance of service by the MBTA may be effected is pro-
vided by Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 161A, Sction 16 which states that the
question,
"Shall the local mass tramsportation
service in this city be discontinued?"
may be placed on the ballot at an election next following the last day of April of the
year next following the year on account of which such assessment has been made the
question of whether all such local service in such city should be discontinued. Such
question shall not be placed on the ballot unless the City Council votes that it be so
placed, or it be so petitioned by not less than 5% of the registered voters by petition
filed with the city at least 60 days before such election. The crucial qualification
to such question being submitted to the electorate however is clause "b" of the second
paragraph of Chapter 161A, Section 15, i.e. ,
"Such question shall not be placed upon the
official ballot. . . . (b) if the city or town is the
terminus of any local service route at an express
service station and other cities or towns are on the
same route, or the said route extends beyond the
borders of the city or town to a city or town
further from the terminus."
Transportation furnished by the MBTA to and within the City of Salem, within the
statutory definition of "terminus of any local service at an express service station",
to wit, mass transportation of "express service" by railroad and "local Service" by bus
which have as a terminus the Salem Railroad Station on the B & M Railroad, preclude and
prevent the foregoing question being placed on the ballot. The Salem Railroad Station
32
February IL, 1971.
r—
is under the control and is operated for the account of the MBTA, and is an "express
service station". Bus service operated from adjacent communities of Beverly, Wenham,
Hamilton, Danvers, Middleton, Lynn and Nahant all have a termination at this station.
It is clearly the statutory intent that the question of discontinuance be prohibited
from being placed on the ballot if there is service of the nature in effect in Salem.
More than one city or town may vote to have the discontinuance question placed
on the ballot if such combination of cities or towns, if regarded as a single munici-
pality, is not prohibited from placing the question on the ballot by reason of clause
"b" mentioned above. Unfortunately, the services present in Salem individually or in
combination with other cities and towns do constitute a factual situation which invoke
the prohibition of placing the question on the ballot.

Councillor R. B. O'Keefe requested and received persmission to introduced an Order
out of order.
121 Councillor R. B. O'Keefe then introduced the following Order which was adopted.
Court Action -Withdraw

from MBTA ORDERED: The City Solic
challenging the laws that appear to prohibit the City of Salem from withdrawing from

Marblehead and any other Communities that may wish to join, for the purpose of ending
our membership in the MBTA and also for providing rransportation services for our
citizens during the period when the MBTA is no longer serving our communities.
123 The following Opinion was received from the City Solicitor relative to plowing
Opinion re Plowing
rivatE Ways private ways. On the motion of Councillor Burke it was received and recorded.
Gentlemen:
The City Council at its meeting of January 28, requested the Office of the City
Solicitor to render its opinion as to whether the City of Salem may plow or sand
Prospect Avenue. '
Prospect Avenue is a private way. At its eastern extremity where it intersects
with Boston Street there is a sign "Prospect Avenue Private Way Pass at own Risk".
The official records of the City of Salem disclose that this Avenue has never been made
an "accepted street" , and it has at all times retained its character as a "private way".
A city or town which has accepted the provisions of MGL Chapter 40, Section 6C
"may appropriate money for the removal of snow and ice from such private ways within its
limits and open to the public use as may be designated by the city council or selectmen"
-- - - F,ebrua_ry 11, 1971
However, the City of Salem has not accepted this statutory provision and therefore,
until this is done, may not perform the service of snow and ice removal. Sanding is
not specifically referred to in the pertinent statute but by fair interpretation is an
element of snow and ice removal and is not a proper municipal function unless and until
the basic statute is accepted.
Acceptance of the statute mentioned is accomplished by submission of a question,
as set forth in Mass, General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 6D, to the voters at a regular
city election if the. City Council thereof so votes, the question being,
"Shall the city vote to accept the provisions of
section C of chapter forty of the General Laws, which
authorize cities and towns to appropriate money for the
removal of snow and ice from private ways therein open
to the public use."
If a mojority of the votes are in the affirmative such section shall thereupon
take full effect, but not otherwise. Until such action is taken the City of Salem
cannot undertake snow and ice removal or sanding from Prospect Avenue.
The foregoing provisions making it conclusively improper at the present time for
the City of Salem to engage in snow and ice removal relative to Prospect Avenue I have
not directed attention to whether this private way, as a matter of fact, is "open to
public use". If it is not freely open to the public it could not be taken care of even
if the voters were to accept the pertinent statute. This is a factual question which
will not arise until the permissive statute is accepted by the electorate.
Very truly yours
William H. K. Donaldson

Veto - Police Ord.
Gentlemen of the Council: (1) clerk. (2) 6 Us-
6 Sgts. 68 Patrolmmm
I return to you herewith DISAPPROVED two ordinances relating to the composition
i
of the Police Department, each having been adopted for first passage on February 25,
1971, and for second passage on March 11, 1971.
My objection to these two ordinances is that they are inconsistent with each other
and will inevitably result in confusion and misunderstanding as to the intent of the
City Council in enacting, upon the same date, the inconsistent and confusing provisions
contained therein. For example, one provides for six lieutenants, while the other
provides for seven lieutenants. It would be impossible to determine which provision
is to govern.
I regret the necessity of vetoing these ordinances as I have recommended several
of the changes which appear in one or the other. It is my hope that a new ordinance
resolving these inconsistencies will immediately be dealt with by your Body and pre-
sented to me for approval.
Very truly yours
s,
Samuel E. Zoll, Mayor.
No action for seven days under the rules.

The following opinion was received from the Assistant City Solicitor relative 261
Opinion - Taking Lorin
to the taking of land on Loring Avenue by eminent domain. Ave. Land-Eminent Doma
I
Gentlemen: j
By Order of the City Council on February 11, 1971 a legal opinion has been re-
quested from the City Solicitor as to whether the City of Salem "may take by Eminent
Domain for municipal purposes the 26 acres, or any part thereof, of vacant land on
a
Loring Avenue formerly used as the Marblehead Water Pumping Station and since abandone ."
The City of Salem may take this land under its general powers of Eminent Domain.
This piece of property already held in governmental ownership is not being used and is
Y
64
March 25, 1971 -_
described as "abandoned" in the Council Order. Accordingly, the taking of such land
would not be prohibited because of its taking for an inconsistent public use for there
is in fact no present use at all.
The proposed taking for a "municipal purpose" is not very specific as to the
intended use. It is assumed for the purpose of this decision that a justifiable, W "
acceptable and specific public use is contemplated by the City of Salem for such use �� I
is an indispensable part of all eminent domain takings.
Before undertaking eminent domain proceedings as against a fellow municipality it
may be well to explore the possibilities of a negotiated acquisition. In the event
the Town of Marblehead has plans for public use of this land of which we are not
presently aware, even though the acreage is currently lying fallow, the matter might
become complicated by an assertion on behalf of Marblehead that the land was being
held for an imminent use inconsistent with the projected Salem use. A question of fact
might then arise which would have to be resolved in Court.
Respectfully submitted

i
Winter Island
BE IT RESOLVED: That the City of Salem, throught the duly elected City Council
and the Mayor, hereby affirms its intention to preserve the area within the City of
Salem known as "Winter Island" for the benefit of the citizens of the City of Salem
WHEREAS at a time when our nation's sensitivity to and need for recreational and
park facilities is becoming critical, we feel that it is particularly vital that the
Department of Defense act in concert with the avowed intentions of the President of the
United States, who has recently acted to preserve this country's diminishing recrea-
tional shoreline; and
WHEREAS we feel particularly sensitive to the inconsistency of executive word and
action when we consider that the needs of the Department of Defense might be met equall
well at another site where the land-taking does not constitute one hundred per cent
(100%) of a community's remaining undeveloped clean beach area; and,
S WHEREAS we consider it to be a matter of contemporary responsibility of govern-
ment to protect from expropriation and exploitation of the only sheltered harbor within
1
Salem; and,
WHEREAS that said Winter Island property contains monuments of historical signi-
ficance irreplacable, particularly Fort Lee and Fort Pickering, which remain essentiall
as they existed in the Eighteenth Century; and,
WHEREAS each of these reasons alone would justify the retention of the Winter
Island site by the City of Salem, their cumulative effect outweight any question of the
relative merits of erecting a military training building as this land where recreation-
al, beach and park potential is so great; therefore,
We implore the Department of Defense to re-evaluate its projections for this
• I
area in light of the welfare of Salem's citizens and the willingness on the part of
City Government to develop and maintain this area as park, conservation, and recrea-
tional land. .

BE IT RESOLVED: That the City of Salem, through the duly elected City Council and
the Mayor, hereby reaffirms its commitment to preserve the entire area of "Winter
Island" formerly occupied by the United States Coast Guard, within the City of Salem,
for the sole and exclusive use of the citizens of the City of Salem for their enjoyment
and benefit.
v
WHEREAS "Winter Island" represents the last available natural resource in unde-
veloped oceanfront land within the City of Salem that might be developed for use by
the residents of the City of Salem for recreational and conservation purposes; and
WHEREAS It is the stated purpose of the Federal Administration to improve the
environment and meet urban recreation needs by saving fast disappearing open spaces; an
WHEREAS "Winter Island" has great historic significance in its use as a place of
defense, shipbuilding, and fishing from the early seventeenth century and containing,
as it does, Fort Pickering one of the earliest Forts in this Country dating back to
1643; and
WHEREAS The projected use of "Winter Island" by the Department of Defense for a
combined reserve training facility would render impossible the full enjoyment of the
area by the citizens of the City of Salem and foreclose the development of the entire
area for park and other public purposes; and
BE IT RESOLVED:
WHEREAS The needs of the Department of Defense would be better met at some more
• easily accessible inland location; and
WHEREAS Up to the present time the Department of Defense has refused to change its
intention to expropriate "Winter Island," therefore
We call upon Michael J. Harrington, Congressman from the Sixth Congressional
District to immediately file legislation to accomplish the transfer of full ownership
of the "Winter Island" location to the City of Salem free from any present or future
rights in the Federal Government.

Veto 471 The following Veto was received from the Mayor.
Subsidy - Not to Grow
Corn Gentlemen of the Council:
I am returning herewith, VETOED, your requests that I inform the Department of
Commerce that Salem will not grow corn and seeks a Federal subsidy, and that I send a
letter of protest to Congressmen Harrington and Conte.
I think, initially, that the request is somewhat lacking in accuracy and specifics let I
The Boston office of the Department of Commerce was baffled when contacted this week
by this office regarding this issue. It was their feeling that unless Salem was en-
gaged in the production of a synthetic corn for a flooded international market, that
we would receive little relief from their presently enacted . statutes and laws.
Gentlemen, as Voltaire once admonished his generation through the character
Candide, ". . .we must cultivate our gardens," so too must we resist the temptation to
perpetuate by participation, the illogic which food subsidies certainly are. There
remains to us the alternative of positive action in seeking solutions to our local and
national problems. Let us together reap the produce of continuing efforts on behalf
of our citizens to improve the quality of life within our community.
Very truly yours,
S/ Samuel E. Zoll

Automated Light
Baker's Island Development. It was voted to accept the report and adopt the recommendation.
The Committee on Harbor Development to whom was referred the request of the
Baker's Island Conservation Committee in regard the automation of the Coast Guard
lighthouse at Baker's Island, has considered said matter and would recommend the
following resolution:
September 9, 1971.
BE IT RESOLVED:
897
RESLThat the City of Salem fully supports the Baker's Island Conservation Committee's Baker'Js1ON IIsland Light
requests to the United States Coast Guard to:
1. postpone the proposed automation until such time as adequate protection of
property can be provided by Baker's Island's residents; and,
2, give consideration to abandoning any plan to automate Baker's Island Light
M,
Station until the final results of the exhaustive environmental impact study
have been determined.
WHEREAS The United States Coast Guard occupies the role of protector of person
and property of the residents of Baker's Island, as well as provides a navigational
aid; and
WHEREAS The Coast Guard's proposal to automate the Baker's Island Light Station
by December of this year would threaten the security of the residents of the Island
who have relied upon the Coast Guard's originally announced date of mid-1973 as the
earliest possible date that they would have to provide their own protection; and
WHEREAS Plans have not yet advanced to the point where adequate protection of r
Island interests could be provided by this December; and,
WHEREAS Such action by the Coast Guard would create disruption of both the com-
munity and the socio-economic factors of its environmental nature; therefore,
The City of Salem respectfully urges the United States Coast Guard to immediately de-
sist from any activity to advance the automation of their light house facility at
Baker's Island. We feel that such action would seriously jeopardize the health, safety
and security of a substantial number of Salem's citizens.

Veto Chapt. 41, Sec.
100, 100A, B and D Gentlemen of the Council:
I return herewith DISAPPROVED your order of September 23, 1971 which was presented
to the Mayor for approval on September 27, 1971. This order concerns the acceptance of
four separate and distinct provisions in Chapter 41 of the General Laws, each relating
to certain provisions for indemnification of. certain. officers and employees of the city
Oil
23'7
October 14, 1971
I call your attention to the fact that once a statute is accepted, there is no
legal method by which a city or town may avoid or rescind the effect of its acceptance.
It is therefore necessary that considerable thought and study be given to a matter as
important as this, separately, as to the effect of these statutes upon the financial
lcondition of the city. I must further advise you that one of these sections, Section
100A, has already been accepted by the city in an earlier form on June 24, 1937. This
has been accepted as the basis of our policy of indemnification.
We cannot now determine what the impact may be in future years of the acceptance
in one package of these separate items of legislation.
A collateral issue is also raised by your action in that the benefits that you
seek to create for certain municipal employees more property belong with the collectiv
bargaining process.
I urge you to sustain this veto with the hope that your Body will confer with
the City Solicitor and other affected department heads and union representatives prior
to arriving at a final determination.
Very truly yours
ip s/ Samuel E. Zoll, Mayor

977 The following opinion relative to responsibility of sidewalk repair was received -
Opinion - Sidewalk
Repair from Atty. Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicitor. It was received and recorded.
Gentlemen:
The order of the City Council dated July 22, 1971 has just reached me, having
been delivered to me on September 23rd, in which order you ask for an opinion as to the
responsibility for repairing the sidewalk in front of the former Gerbers Restaurant on
Washington Street.
Our ordinance, in Chapter 23, Sec. 43, gives the city council authority "to
establish and determine the grade and construction of sidewalks, and complete partially
constructed sidewalks. . .and may assess the abutters on such sidewalks, as provided by
law."
The sidewalk shall not be constructed until the city council has by vote autho-
rized the same, specifying therein the exact location of such sidewalk and the length
thereof, with the name of the owner of the abutting estate.
General Laws, Ch. 83, sec. 25, provides that the aldermen of a city may, if in
their judgment the public concenience so requires, establish sidewalks in the public
ways thereof and determine the grade of each such sidewalk and the materials with
which it shall be constructed, and may order the reconstruction of existing sidewalks.
In sec. 26 of the same chapter, the board making the order may provide for the
assessment of a reasonable amount, not exceeding one-half the cost, upon the abutting
estates. Such assessments constitute a lien upon the abutting land following record-
ing in the registry of deeds of a statement of their action, which shall specify the
ways in which such sewer, drain or sidewalk is located.
Very truly yours

Opinion - Rubbish
Receptacle Contract Gentlemen:
B. This letter is in response to the vote of the City Council of October 14th re-
questing my opinion as to whether the agreement with the Unlimited Services of
L America, Inc. , relating to the receptacles for rubbish, can be broken.
The agreement was approved by me as city solicitor as to form and was signed by
the mayor in April of this year. It provides for continuation for a period of two
�f
years at no expense to the city and in effect relieves the city of responsibility for
collection of rubbish from these receptacles and for any expense for maintenance of th
same during the period of the agreement. It appeared that a number of cities and town
t
in other parts of the country have entered into similar arrangements.
Since I have already committed myself in approving the agreement as to form, I
have no indication now (as I had no indication then) that there is anything legally
i
.VIP r4
October 28, 1971
improper about this agreement or that the agreement can be broken. I must state to you
that in my opinion the City is both legally and morally committed to continue for the
balance of the agreement.
When the time comes for renewal, I would assume that there should then be taken
into consideration objections by any interested persons or organizations to its con-
tinuance.

The following Opinion was received from the City Solicitor: 1110
Opinion - Conduit &
Gentlemen: Manholes - Boston St.
This letter is regarding an oral inquiry transmitted to me by Councillor Butler
• regarding the application of New England Telephone and Telegraph Company for permission
to lay and maintain underground conduits and manholes and appurtenant structures therei
under the surface of Boston Street from the intersection with Essex Street to the Salem
Peabody line, approximately 4145 feet of conduit and four proposed manholes shown on
the plan number 4061 dated September 15, 1971 filed with said application.
The authority for this procedure is furnished by G.L. Ch. 166, Sec. 21 (et seq.) .
In section 21 thereof it is provided that a telephone company (and other utility com-
.owl"
November 24, 1971
panies) may under this chapter construct lines upon, along, under and across the public
ways; but such company shall not incommode the public use of public ways or endanger
or interrupt navigation".
By section 22 provision is made for apetition to the Board of Aldermen in the
city for permission for such construction, and public hearing follows, after which the
Board of Aldermen may by order grant a location, specifying therein where the conduits,
etc. , may be placed. The City is not liable for negligence in the construction which
may follow (Carroll v. Cambridge, 312 Mass. 89) . The application specifically im-
poses upon the granting of the application, as required by law, (1) the condition
that all work done shall be in such manner as to be satisfactory to such municipal
officers as may be appointed to the supervision of the work; (2) the condition that
the company shall indemnify and save the city harmless against all damages, costs and
expense whatsoever to which the city may be subjected in consequence of the acts or
neglect of the company, its agents or servants, or in any manner arising from the right
and privileges granted it by the city; and (3) the furnishing of a bond for the
faithful performance of its duties under the permit.
The powers of the City Council in this matter are set forth in sections 25 and 26
of chapter 8 of our ordinance. Although these powers include the imposition of such
conditions, restrictions and limitations as the city council may impose, the scope of
the exercise of such powers can always be challenged if arbitrary or capricious or if
not based on substantial evidence produced at the hearing.
As I understand your inquiry, the question is whether such powers include that of
requiring the utility company to furnish to the abutting owners assurance of legal
I'
responsibility to them for any resulting damage. The significance of the word
"incommode" appearing in the statute and of the standards to be adopted by the City
Council in making its decision are discussed extensively in Boston Edison Co. vs.
i
Board of Selectmen of Concord, 355 Mass. 90. It is clear that the decision of the loca
authority will be upheld unless it is arbitrary or capricious. "Substantial evidence"
at the hearing is required. I am of the opinion that the single factor of apprehension '
regarding future willingness to accept responsibility directly to abutters for damage
would not be sufficient in law to sustain a decision conditioned upon the assumption
in advance of such responsibility. I believe that such an additional condition cannot
legally be imposed, 11V
i A
j
A If in the process of the work there should be damage caused to abutters by reason
E
of negligence on the part of the telephone company or of any contractor engaged in
the work, there could be responsibility toward such injured persons under general
principles of negligence law. ''
Very truly yours .

The following Opinion of the City Solicitor relative to the status of the gas 1111
Opinion - Status of
station at 106 Bridge Street was received. Gas Station 106 Bridge
Gentlemen:
This is in response to ,the vote of the City Council. on November 11, 1971 regarding
an opinion as to the status of a gasoline station at 106 Bridge Street, Salem.
' • The particular matter before the-City Council is an application for a revolving
sign over the sidewalk in which the applicant is stated to be Swampscott Motor Service,
Inc. d/b/a Jiffy Car Wash. The application bears the signature of approval of the
Inspector of Buildings. The words or insignia or other information which are to appear
on the sign are not indicated. It does not appear from the papers in this matter that
the material which will appear on the sign relates to a gasoline station.
Obviously your inquiry is focused on the question of whether or not there is
contemplated the use of the premises -or a portion thereof for gasoline station purposes
a problem separate and distinct from that presently before the City Council. Enforce-
ment of the zoning ordinance, when required, is a function of the Building Inspector.
The function of the City Council is, pursuant to the authority of G.L. Chapter 85,
section 8, as amended, and of Chapter 3 (particularly sec. 7) of our ordinances, that
it may grant permits to place and maintain illuminated and electrically illuminated
signs; it does not extend to enforcement of the zoning ordinance, an entirely different
matter.
The question of existence of a non-conforming use, or discontinuance or abandon-
ment of such a use, for gasoline station purposes, is complicated and technical. .It is
not to be resolved by the Building Inspector or by the City Solicitor. It is quite
likely also that if the ordinance and zoning requirements relating to signs appear to
be satisfied, you have no power with reference to the information appearing on the sign.
We have recently been involved in a case, not yet concluded, involving a closely t
similar situation, which was made the subject of court proceedings seeking a ceclarator
judgment. In that case, as in this particular matter as to which you have inquired,
the fundamental question is the intention of the owner or occupant of the premises with
reference to abandonment of a previously existing non-conforming use. In each case,
the decision must be based on the facts;presented.:as _to-such7.intention. If there are
® parties who might seek a legal determination in connection with such a use the forum
will be the courts of the Commonwealth. The precise facts which might be presented in
such a case if one should be brought are of course not within my knowledge. I of course
make no intimation as to whether or not such action might ever be considered to be
necessary or desirable nor as to the outcome.
The City Council would in my opinion not be a proper party to initiate such an
action.
To conclude, the action of the City Council in granting or not granting the re-
272
November 24, 1971 --
quested sign permit will not be determinative of any zoning issue which might be
thought to be involved.
Very truly yours
s/ Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicitor
The meeting recessed at 8:32 and reconvened at 8:38 P.M.
Councillor J. O'Keefe moved applicant be given leave to withdraw without prejudice
and file a proper application. It was so voted. Councillor Swiniuch was recorded
opposed.
1112 The following Opinion was received from the Assistant City Solicitor.
Opinion-Ambulance
Service in R-2 District Gentlemen:
The City Council by its Order of November 11, 1971 requested the Office of the
City Solicitor to give its written opinion as to whether an ambulance service may be
operated within an R-2 district under our existing zoning ordinance.
An ambulance service is not a "permitted use" within an R-2 district which, as
defined within the zoning ordinance, is a two-family area in which buildings are for
use by more than one family but in all other ways are similar in character to an R-1
district, to wit, "in which spacious neighborhoods suitable for health, safe, con-
venient, and comfortable family life are to be promoted and protected". Nor is an
ambulance service, specifically or by implication, contained within those listed uses
which as a "Special Permit Use" may be permitted in an R-2 district in the discretion
of the Board of Appeals.
It is of interest that the words "ambulance" or ambulance service" do not appear
anywhere within the entire zoning ordinance. Such a use is not contained within the
list of "Specially Excluded" uses which are thereby beyond the power of the Board of
Appeal to grant in any event. Such a use is also not listed as a "Prohibited Use" and
within the discretion of the Board of Appeals a variance or special permit may possibly
upon a proper showing, be granted somewhere within the City of Salem. An ambulance
service is not proper, however, within an R-2 district for it is a departure from and
antagonistic to the spirit and intent of areas within the definition quoted earlier
in this opinion.
Very truly yours l
s/ William H.K. Donaldson, I
Assistant City Solicitor
Councillor Butler moved that the Building Inspector be ordered to serve notice
to the Ambulance Service on River Street to cease operation. It was so voted.

1148 The following opinion was received from City Solicitor, Albert R. Pitcoff.
Opinion - Limiting
Gas Stations Dear Councillor Salvo:
You have requested my opinion as to the legality of a proposed ordinance pro-
vision limiting the number of licenses for the retail sale of gasoline or other
petroleum products.
The authority for local licensing is provided by G.L. Chapter 148, Section 13 whic
forbids any building or other structure to be used for the keeping, storage, manufacture
or sale of petroleum or other explosive or inflammable fluids or compounds, etc. , un-
less the local licensing authority shall have granted a license therefor. There must
be a public hearing after due notice by newspaper publication and by registered mail.
The standards to be used by the licensing authority are not limited to consideringWj
fire and explosion danger. Heavy traffic conditions may be considered. Davidson v.
Duxbury, 1970 A.S. 1173.
There is a "somewhat" wide discretionary power in each case, which will be sus-
tained unless such power is exercised arbitrarily and capriciously. Gulf Oil Corp. v.
Framingham, 355 Mass. 275, and cases cited. Kidder v. Brockton, 329 Mass. 287. i
December 9, 1971.
It has been stated that the "somewhat wide discretion" given to the licensing
authority "extends beyond the mere question of fire risk and involves other considera-
tions affecting the public interests." Johnson Produc ts, Inc. vs. M=_dford, 353 Mass.
540, 543.
My conclusions are as follows:
1. The many cases in our jurisprodence make it plain that, except for arbitrary,
capricious, or whimsical action in the denial by a city council of an application for
a gasoline station permit, the court will sustain such a denial. It may not even be
required that such a denial, in any particular case, be based upon any stated ground,
provided there is a public hearing and objections are aired which relate to traffic,
fire hazard, residential area and population considerations, and other factors "affect-
ing the public interests." The council therefore has now and will continue to have all
necessary authority which it may consider it wise to use in preventing a proliferation
in the number of gasoline stations in the community. In my opinion, no ordinance is
necessary.
2. It must be remembered that the proper legal steps must be taken in any case
where application is made. No person can or should be deprived of his legal and con-
stitutional right even to have his application considered. The effect of a proposed
ordinance limiting the number of licenses to those existing on a particular date would
be to deprive applicants of such rights.
The trend of constitutional decisions in recent years leaves little hope that
such a complete denial of opportunity, even to have an application considered, would
be allowed to stand. The validity of such an ordinance would be extremely shaky and
in my opinion contrary to the provisions of the General Laws and in violation of rights
j guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.
Very truly yours
' Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solic.
Councillor R. B. O'Keefe moved that the opinion be received and filed. It was so
voted.
The following opinion was received from the City Solicitor, Albert R. Pitcoff. 1149
Opinion Witness Fee
Dear Councillor Salvo: Police Officers
You inquire regarding the possibility of requiring the payment of witness fees to
` police officers for off-duty-time attendance in criminal cases.,
G.L. Ch. 262, Sec. 53, provides for the payment of a witness fee in a criminal
case pending in a district court, or in a juvenile court, to an officer who is on duty
at night, on vacation, furlough or on a day off, $3.00 for each day's attendance, in-
cluding his first attendance as arresting officer in the case.
By Sec. 53A payment is made also for travel time to and from the place other than
I
! the officer's residence, except when by municipally owned vehicles. However, by Sec.50
I
December 9, ,1971
no city marshal or police officer, etc. , who receives a salary or an allowance by the
day or hour, from the city, shall be paid any fee or extra compensation for official
services performed by him in any criminal case, or for testifying in a criminal case
during the time for which he receives such salary or allowance. The receipt of such
extra compensation or such witness fee in violation of this section incurs a fine of
not more than $100.
Although no police department is required to grant compensatory time off or
additional pay to its officers in lieu of witness fees (Op. Atty. Gen. Nov. 3, 1967,
p. 129) , the City of Salem is locked in to payment of time and one-half for off-duty-
time attendance in criminal cases, by reason of the provisions of the collective bar-
gaining agreement with the members of the police department.
The course suggested in your letter would result in a circular arrangement which
must eventually expose the police officer to liability for criminal prosecution for
violation of Sec. 50. .
I would not expect that our police officers can reasonably be asked or expected to
contract for the substitution of $3.00 daily for the time and one-half payment provided
by the contract. perhaps the compensatory time off to the extent of no less than three
a
hours in lieu of a witness fee could be considered in the current bargaining negotia-
tions. It is my opinion that, except for the latter possibility, no arrangement can be
effected which will alleviate to any substantial degree the overtime expense in such
cases which does fall upon the taxpayers.
What I have suggested above has no application to the lesser question of witness
fees in civil cases. In most cases attendnance in court has no connection with the
official duties of such employee, or only to a minor incidental degree. I know of no
legal reason why the bargaining representatives of each collective bargaining unit
cannot include in their negotiations the discussion of definite arrangements designed
to preclude city-paid overtime for off-time witness attendance in civil cases. There
might also be discussion as to whether or not there should be payment by the city to
any employee who on duty-time is in attendance in a civil case whether by summons or
voluntarily or whether reimbursement should be made to the city by reason of witness
fees actually paid by a party to such an employee.
I am furnishing a copy of this letter to our negotiator for his consideration as
to the extent to which such matters can, as part of the overall negotiations, be
useful and in the best interests of both the city and its employees.
Very truly yours
Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicitor.

This letter is in response to an order of the City Council referring to the city

connection with an application for a revolving sign on these premises, that it would no
be the function of the city council to initiate an action to determine the legal status
of the previously existing non-conforming use.
From information received at a recent public hearing, I assume your present inquiry
is directed to the question of legal power to require the removal of a recently in-
' stalled island adjacent to new gas pumps which have been installed on these premises.
I must advise you that such a question in my opinion lies outside of the power and the
function of the city council. The only duties which are given to the city council in
connection with a gasoline station are those contained in the sections entitled "Fire
Prevention" in G.L. Chapter 148. In paragraph 13 therein, the license for the keeping,
storage, manufacture or sale of explosives or inflammable materials is granted by the
2490
_December _23,,_1971 _.�._� _
local licensing authority (in this case the city council) after public hearing, and
once such a license has been granted it "shall be deemed a grant attaching to the land
described in the license and as an incident of ownership thereof running with the land
and shall not be deemed to be merely a personal privilege".
The question of the numbs and capacity of underground tanks and above-ground
tanks is required to be passed upon by the head of the fire department, and according
to records which have been furnished to me approval was given by the head of the fire
departmenton February 8, 1949 for the maintenance of the present tanks, underground,
in their present location. I am advised by the fire authorities that no application
was or is now required, and no approval of the location, as to the installation of a
pump island.
From the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the city council has no jurisdiction
regarding the newly installed gas pumps, nor regarding the island adjacent thereto. I
advise you further that, with or without any action on the part of the city council,
the building inspector could not be ordered, nor would he have the power, to remove the
gas pumps.
Respectfully submitted

The following Veto was received from the Mayor. 263
Gentlemen of the Council: Granite Curbing etc.Valley Street
I return to you herewith, DISAPPROVED, the order of the City Council, dated
March 9, 1972, relating to the installation of granite curbing and concrete sidewalks
on Valley Street, Salem, in connection with the Chapter 90 Project now being prepared.
I disapprove for the following reasons:
Of course the installation of curbing and sidewalks is required. However, I must
call to your attention the fact that the difference in costs on this single project
arising out of the required use of granite curbing as distinguished from bituminous
is over Twenty-Four Thousand Dollars ($24,000.00) . 1 call to your attention further
that with reference to the installation of concrete sidewalks on this one project as
distinguished from bituminous sidewalks the difference is over Six Thousand Dollars
($6,000.00) . On this one street the result of this particular Council order, which I
am vetoing herewith, would be an additional cost to the people of Salem, Essex County,
and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of a sum which exceeds Thirty Thousand Dollars
$30,000.00) .
It is true that the additional cost which will be absorbed directly by the citizen
of Salem through municipal taxes will be only twenty-five per cent (25%) of this total,
which would be approximately Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500) , but the
citizens of Salem will also have to share through county taxes and state taxes in the
overall burden of the balance of Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($22,500.00) .
At this particular time I do not feel justified in imposing these additional
charges on our citizens. It must also be borne in mind that for many years now it has
been our practice in the City of Salem, as well as in other communities, to provide
for the installation of bituminous curbing and bituminous sidewalks rather than granite
and concrete, the reason being the very high price of granite curbing and concrete
sidewalks.
I am especially fearful that, if in this particular case we should deviate from
this practice, it will create a precedent which may hereafter result in continuing
additional costs to the taxpayers.
Very truly yours
s/ Samuel E. Zoll

applied to the determination of costs for reimbursement by the Massachusetts

The meeting recessed at 9:24 P.M. and reconvened at 9:29 P.M.
The following opinion relative to placing restrictions on the sign permit at 584
Opinion re sign at
106 Bridge Street was received and filed. 106 Bridge Street
Gentlemen:
This is in response to the request of the City Council for an opinion regarding the
placing of certain restrictions in connection with the application for a permit to
erect a stationary sign over the sidewalk at 106 Bridge Street.
Structural and fire safety requirements applicable to all signs and outdoor display
structures are governed by the BOCA Building Code, adopted by vote of the city council
on April 27, 1972 and approved by the mayor on May 2, 1972. The Code is administered
by the building inspector.
The regulation of such structures was removed from the zoning ordinance by the amend-
ments thereto adopted in 1969.
The subject of this inquiry is governed by the ordinance, Ch. 3, sec. 7, by which the
city council is authorized to grant permits to place and maintain illuminated and
electrically illuminated signs extending more than 2 1/2 feet over the sidewalk from
the face of the building to which they are affixed or have a "superficial area on
either side of more than 5 square feet." Section 7 has no application to any matter
other than the projecting sign. Article II in which it appears is entitled "Signs and
Billboards". It is obvious that this section is designed only to insure that persons
upon the sidewalk or street will not be endangered by reason of the projection over the
sidewalk. The required bond is conditioned only to save harmless the city from any
and all claims for or by reason of the maintenance of such sign.
In my opinion, the ordinance confers upon the city council no power to impose any con-
ditions relating to any other portion of the premises.
The absence of such power requires my answer to the city council's question to be in
the negative.
Very truly yours
s/ Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicito

This is relating to your letter of December 19, 1972 in which you advise me of the
