SALEM CITY COUNCIL RECORDS 1871-1873 VOL 7 CITY OF SALEM CITY COUNCIL RECORDS INDEX 1871 - 1873 VOL. 7 �Jak1Pz1, V'a& CIO/ 016-k • �o�T ,�f 4 April 4, 1997 The enclosed volume of City Council Records, Volume 7, 1871 - 1873, was typed from the original hand-written record, during the term of City Clerk John J. Connelly ( 1925 - 1942 ) . The typing was done over the course of Mr. Connelly ' s seventeen year tenure, by his staff : Edna I . Dunham, Dorothy F. Smith, and Mildred M. Cleary. Boxes of these typed City Council minutes were found in the basement vault, and had remained there for over fifty years . In 1997 , as part of the ongoing preservation and conservation program of City and Town records, I copied these typed volumes onto Perma-life acid-free buffered paper. This was done to preserve the typed text, and to eliminate the need to photocopy the original hand-written volume. The index in the front of the volume was not typed, however, by Mr. Connelly ' s staff . In order have these books bound, it was necessary to have a complete volume, including the index. My staff: Janice Corbett, Assistant City Clerk; and Cheryl Lapointe, Assistant Registrar; copied these indexes from the original hand-written copy. This is the book that is to be used by the City Clerk' s Office. The Original hand-written book has been placed in the first floor climate-controlled vault, and should remain there to avoid any future deterioration.

Very Respectfully Nath'1 Brown L°ayor. "To the City Council of the City of Salem. Memorial of This Memorial of the School Committee Sch. Comm. of the same would respectfully represent; (1) That the Ares- on altera- ent accommodations of the High School under their charge are tions of entirely insufficient; that there is no recitation room in the high buildingrcapabie of holding .either of the two classes last ad- School mitted to, the school, while it is to,be hoped and expected that future classes will be still larger; that the recitation rooms are 'too small to be conveniently .used by the numbers • which are of necessity daily crowded into them & so ill ven- tilated that when occupied the air in them becomes exceeding- ly offensive '& `unwholesome & the attempt to relieve this evil by opened windows often results in too sudden exposure of the occupants to cold air & to consequent sickness & suffering. Further that there is no room capable of being warmed,or other- wise suitable in which the experiments necessary to practical instruction in the natural sciences can be attempted. The val- uable Philosophical apparatus which has been provided, there is no proper place to use or to keep & it has seriously deter- iorated-in value while answering no adequate end in teaching. r, room iR needful in which this apparatus can at once be safe- ly kept.& regularly used if any thing is to be done in this line of study, A room is needful also, provided with conve- niences _of water, sinks etc. & with cases of chemicals & the apparatus -of chemical study, if any useful instruction is to be given in Chemistry, & this room must be seperated from that in which the phlosophical apparatus is kept, or the latter will suffer from its contiguity. It should be added that the Sta- tutes respire that instruction be given in these sciences other schools are giving them more & • h4irch 272 1871. Vol. 7- Page 56 more prominence. Further, there is no room in which the School Library of ref- erence books can be placed to advantage, & it suffers from the lack of accommodation. There are no adequate provisions for the comfort of the school in the shape of cloak rooms,no water closets for teachers or pupils & the outside arrange- ments to which they must resort are at once inconvenient & an occupation of land, which had better be open and clear. In short, it is believed to be true to say that no City in the State of the population & wealth of Salem has been content to this day with accommodations so narrow & inadequate for its High School & that while has been growing in numbers & in ef- ficiency & in reputation. Further, That the building of which the second story is now occupied by the High School & the first story is standing va- cant can be made to furnish all the accommodations needful, with a small outlay; that plans have been obtained in harmony with the original design of the building, whereby may be se- cured in the second story separate halls, a teacher's room, and a library room; in the first seperate entrances to cloak rooms, suitable recitation rooms & apparatus rooms with all conveniences;& in the cellar seperated apartments containing water or earth closets. The plans contemplate no alteration in the attic story, that the architect estimates these plans can be carried out wit.h. an outlay not exceeding six thousand Dollars. These plans & a detailed description of them are ap- pended to this Memorial. `.'With these representations,the School Committee would respectfully urge the expediency of the earli- est possible attention to the needs of the High School,as a matter of great public interest & on their part advise & re- quest that the High School building be made substantially to correspond with the plans which they submit."

If the first question is answered in the affirmative can the Board of .Mayor and Aldermen pay back to or require addi- tional payment from parties who have already paid their assess• ments into the City Treasury? 3d. All abutters upon Dearborn Street having been charged as betterments an amount which is equal to 2J % on the valu- ation of their estates can a general abatement or alteration in the amounts charged to each of said abutters be made by the xiayor and Aldermen? The powers of the Mayor and ::ldermen to assess upon abutting estates a certain portion of the expense of laying out or widening a street are derived from the Sta- tute of 1866 Ch.174 which when enacted had reference only to the City of Boston but was afterwards made applicable to all Cities which should accept the same. Subsequently by Statute of 1868 Ch.276 provision was made for assessing estates in Boston for a proportional part of the • Murch 27, 1871. Vol. 7- Page 59 expense of laying out and widening whenever in the opinion of the Board of Aldermen, such estates should receive any benefit and advantqge therefore beyond that general advantage which all real property in the said City may receive there-- from.", and this Act was afterwards made applicable to such Cities as had accepted the Act of 1866 above named* Thus the first "Act it will be observed gives the power to assess upon estates of abutters. only and the second to assess upon estates situated more or less remotely from the street laid out or widened and deriving some special benefit. Under these Acts the Mayor and Aldermen proceeded to wi- den North Street in 1869, to award damages to persons whose land had been taken or who were otherwise injured, and sub- sequently assessed a portion of the expense incurred upon es- tates of abutters and of others receiving benefit from the wi- dening. Of, the assessments thus made a part as I understand • has already been paid into the City Treasury. I shall of course assume that the action of the Mayors and Aldermen in their va- rious proceedings has been in all respects regularly taken with a s3ue regard to the provisions of law and the rights of parties interested and the question now is whether the whole subject of laying these assessments can be reviewed by the present Board and a new and different adjudication made. I have no hesitation in saying that in my opinion this cannot be le- gally done, It has long been held that City and Town officers in laying out ways and estimating damages therefor act Judi- cially and their determinations have to a certain extent the force and final effect of judgments. In this respect their acts do not differ from those of County Commissioners when called upon to estimate and fix the damages for the taking of land for highways. A like principle must apply to the action of the Board in the assessment of betterments. ",hen this has once been effected and the Mayor and Aldermen (in the language of the Statute) have adjudged and determined the amount of benefit • P>iarch 27, 1871. . Vol. 7- Page 60 to each estate and the sum to be assessed thereon their action until duly appealed from must be taken as final. It is an ad- judication of the points upon which they assumed to pass.New relations are established new rights r are and new duties given imposed on the one side and the other, and in case of wrong d mistake made the remedy is to be sought in the man- ner or Y g ner Y pointed out b the lams and not by a general review and P m w as a merely readjudication. That this is a practical as well y legal or technical view of this question may be readily seen. Thus for instance if the present Board can reopen the adjudi- cation in question and make another and a different one, this last may in its turn be set aside; no limit could be assigned to the power to re-open;the rights of parties now could be re- garded as fixed or certain and the result .would be endless and inextricable confusion. Certain owners of estates on North treet have paid their assessments, and having thus discharged • the obligations imposed, their estates have been freed from further lien or claim. `upon what ground could it be argued that a power exists to effect the rights of persons thus sit- uated and to enforce against them a second claim by a subse- quent adjudication? Again, upon the widening of the Street, certain portions of abutting estates having been taken,dama- ges were assessed and awarded as above stated, and were paid by the City to the owners of such estates. Any principle that would warrant the openingof the adjudication now in question would warrant the opening of this assessment of damages and a wholly new distribution of awards might be made in case this Board should be opinion that the damages assessed by their predecessors were on the whole inequitable.The same remarks would apply to any assessment of damages heretofore made upon the laying out or widening of any street which might be named. It would be easy to extend these suggestions but ehough has been said to bring out the very obvious practical difficulties which lie upon the surface; and which would surround an tiarch 279 1571. Vol. 7- Page 61 attempt to re-open an adjudication like the present. It will not be in any way inferred from the views above expressed that the owner's of estates wrongfully or improperly assessed are left without redress. IJ ,is not intended here to question the right of any party to test in the fullest manner the valid- ity of the proceedings of the Mayor and Alderment or to re- sort to a Jury to secure a reassessment of the amount charted upon his estate- It must be assumed that the Statutes provide ample remedies for any wrongs which parties may have suffered. 2. As the first question is not answered in the affirmative the ,second requires no -further reply than has been given above. 30 An inquiry is presented by the third question as to the right of the Mayor. and Aldermen to abate in a certain speci- fied case• .In viewing it as I am required to do simply as a question of lath in reference to the exact limits of the pow- ers of the Board, I am led to the conclusiongthat this power • is not vested in the Mayor and Aldermen. No such authority is granted in terms by the Statutes referred to from which they derive their powers nor do I think that the power to abate is incidental tog or .follows necessarily from the power to lay assessments. The two must be regarded as distinett Thus the assessors of taxes have full power to make assessments but the power to abate does not follow as incidental thereto or by implication; .but it is given them by special statute, which is guarded .and'restricted by careful limitations. That a power in the Mayor and Aldermen to abate might be convenient and desirable may be admitted and perhaps no as- rious difficulty or objection would have arisen if the Hoard had undertaken to remedy what might appear to be inequalities and hardships. Whether the City Council have not full • ILxrch 27, 1871. Vol. 7- Page 62 power to make abatements or deductions, to a reasonable ex- tent from the amounts assessed by way of compromise of the City's claims or otherr;ise is a question not now presented. I simply answer the precise inquiry propounded by saying that as strict matter of law the layer & Aldermen have not, in my opinion the power to make such abatements as are referred to.

Ordinance fdr "Gentlemen of the City Council, leskAng & It is my .duty, under the City Charter';to collecting communicate to you such information and to recommend ouch annual Tax. measures as the business and interest of the City may,in my opinion require" It was not for this purpose however, that this special meeting so soon after • July 28, 1871. Vol. 7- Page 115 the adjournment of the Common Council till September,is called, but as the occasion seems well timed, I cannot forbear ex- pressing to you some views upon the Tax Ordinance that you adopted at your last regular meeting. This Ordinance, as I understand, was passed by both branches of the Government without special debate, upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee. The Report submit- ted with Ordinance was signed by myself, in behalf of the Committee though dissenting from their views, and the only apology I have to make was the lateness of the hour of the adjournment of the Finance Committee before the meeting of the Council precluding me from submitting a minority Report. The wherein I object to the Ordinance indicated is in the amount to be raised by taxation which seems to me unnecessari- ly large- the amount called for is $355#000. Previous to the meeting of the Finance Committee for the consideration 6f this subject, I had requested the Treasurer to hand me his estimate of the receipts and expenditures of the City for the present municipal year; this officer, in his official capacity should cettainly know as .much as any other,or any member of the gov- ernment, of the .financial condition of the City, and the ac- tual expenditures and receipts; and in my opinion, the pres- ent incumbent ist from his interest in City affairs(outside of his own special duties and his well known probity, one P ) P y� whose judgment is to be respected. The following are the Treas- urer's figures, submitted by myself, as chairman, to the Fi- nance Committee. Receipts Expenditures School Dept $1700 Schools $60,000 Poor " 7000 Poor 17,500 Fire " 100 Fire 21,500 Sir & Ald " 1900 Mayor & Ald'n 150,000 ester '.'orks °' 25000 Water Works 50,000 Interest 3000 Interest 102,000 sate Aid 17000 hate Aid 17,000 Corporation Tax &c 35000 State Tax 39,925 Bel-noe to be rained by Loan or Tax 371244 County Tax 20,119 479Q44 $479,044 • July 282 1871. Vol. 7- Page 116 How, Gentlemen, these figures I have with some care reviewed, and believe them to be generally correct estimates. Let us look at them in detail. The expenditures of the School, Poor and Fire Departments it is impossible to criticize; they have been liberally charged and everyone knows about the expendi- tures for man w that the have be y tures of these Departments; knows y ears about the same, gradually increasing with the gradual y uced n aloes rod growth of the City, and the changes in money v ,p by the war* The current expenses of the Layor & Aldn Dept., last year were about $125,000. 1 see no reason why they should be materially increased the present year. The above % makes an allowance therefore for $25,000- for special expendi- tures in this Department. I know of nothing appropriated or that is likely to be,that will be spent this year, that will not be covered by this sum. The interest % last year, was about $95,000. Certainly the estimate of v103,000 will cover • the interest on increase of Debt. of $77,300 and other con- tingenciee. The State Aid % is balanced by its receipts on the other aide; and the state and County Tax are implacable. Take the Receipts and we have the School, Poor & Fire Dept, set down at about the average. The Mayor & Ald'n at $19,000 against over e43,000 last year; but then we anticipate no large receipts from Public Sewers, Liquor Agencies, sale of school Houses &c if there is any error here it is surely on the safe side. The Water Works receipts at �25,000 against about $19,000 last year cannot be far out of the way inclu- ding receipts from Beverly and an increased number of Water takers then we have left the receipts from interest, State Pid (balanced on the other side) and the amount to be received from the State for Corporation Tax &c all of which are easily known and calculated approximately. I have purposely omitted above the expenditures of the 7"ater Department. They are charged with about what has been authorized by the City Coun- cil and with the probable cost of maintenance ,the whole be- ing some little over $ 50,000. Now the whole subject of what should be raised by tax*tion,turns upon what are to,:be the further expenses of laying distribution pipes this year, and what it is desirable to lay aside for extinguishing the Debt; upon this matter there are as many minds as people. Supposing the Treasurer's account to be correct and that you authorized the laying of no more )'ester pipes this year, and deducting the state and County Tax which the Assessors • July 28, 1871. Vol. 7- Page 117 care for, and you will have under your present Tax Ordinance 4,44,000 to go towards the payment of the Debt.Now I contend that this too large a sum to be raised by taxation for this purpose in one year. The ,probability of your authorizing much more pipe to be laid this year is not great, as the sea- son will be late when you again meet. And on the matter of the extension of our works, there is some force in in the ar- :-ument of those who insist that the cost of this extension should, as. it is charged to the construction account, be paid for, by the issue of .Bonds; but I am not one of those who de- sire to see our Debt increased, and would much prefer, if it is possible, (end I think it is if ,judiciously managed, to pay for our extension ae.we go along. On the other hand, I would not have our citizens feel taxation to be burdensome merely for the sake of keeping down or suddenly to largely reduce our indebtedness. Our rate has been too low, I think, ever since we began to build our.Water Works. In the face of creating a large debt,it was impolitic to keep a low rate; especially as the people called loudly and would have other. improvements. I trust we are not now to .err on the other ex- treme. But I do not fear this so much as the reaction which is sure to take place should we mistake now in fixing taxa- tion too high.The. danger would then be the reactionists would fix it so low as to be detrimental to the true interests of the City. But the great difficulty with our financial af- fairs after all' is to my mind the absence of Water Rates. At present you can hardly with justice refuse to let any one who is taxed* have the benefit of +enham water but make ra e , and you are more in the position of any other Corporation, that will only extend its works as they are made to pay;or at any rate you are in a better position to fix a Polio n for extension. This sudden raising of taxation is injurious to our City interests in more ways than one. If it was merely to cover current expenses, it would be otherwise; but I do not think it is. I ask you if it will not have a tendency to check enterprize; to keep the July 23, 1871. Vol. 7- Page 118 capitalist from coming among us, and to draw away those that are here. But I will not enlarge as it must be apparent to yourselves what is the true policy. I desire merely to mall your attention to the figures I have submitted as a member of the Finance Committee and also to express to you my views' as it seems to me my duty imperiously demands. My only wish is to relieve our citizens from any higher taxation than is necessary. If my judgment is at fault, I shall cheerfully sub- mit to that of yours combined; and in any event shall not re- si=. I respectfully of you to consider the Ordinance I here- with offer, which differs only from that you have passed, in fixing the sum to be raised at $330,000 instead of $355,000. :his sum will give our rate, if I am correctly informed by the Assessors about A17 per thousand., and in my opinion,pay all our current expenditures and leave something handsome for • the payment of our debt. I respectfully suggest that you re- peal the Tax Ordinance adopted at your last meeting and pass the one I offer Very Respectfully Hath'1 Brown Mayor City of Salem In the year one thousand Eight hundred and Seventy one. fin Ordinance for levying and collecting the Annual Taxes.

Prince As will be seen by the drawing both of them are narrow, Streets. and they have a descending grade from Harbor Street to lower end, There are houses on each side of both streets, most of them out to the line of the street. The material of the streets is clay; and at the lower end of Prince Street the grade de- scends to the beach or dock, without any protection. At this point a heavy protecting fence would be required at a cost of say $20.00 1 think there is material enough on the streets to level the hollows and rough grade them at an expense of q)50.00 a street. • They would also require some heavy gravel for a finish coat, at a cost of $100,00 per street. The streets have always been in bad condition, Aug. 31 Vol. 7- Page 121 and are now much worse, caused by laying "rater Pipes. If anything is done upon ,..

At present the house stands on a somewhat narrow strip of land with its rear, on one side difficult of access, and recently the adjoining lot has been occupied by a building which seriously obstructs the light and ven- tilation of the school room; the house itself is .sma113and will require at some future day to be replaced by a larger building, on a more suitable lot, in order to adapt it to om the gro 3,; needs of the district. In view of these circum- stances and conditions your Committee submit the following: A lot of land on !;kerry Street, 100 by 180 feet, can be obtained in exchange for the school house lot, which is about 40 by 170 feet. The owner of the lot will agree to the ex - change providing the City will pay him at the rate of 12=cents per foot, for the difference in the number of feet of the two lots, on the sum of about $1344; he will also agree to remove the school house and outbuildings, fres of cost,should • these terms be acceptable.

The Committee on Streets,and Bridges to Hgt�on and whom vise referred the Petition of Ho G. Hubon and 127 others, others. would respectfully report, that the subject matter of your petitioners had the consideration of your Committee and of this Board . in August last, when Mr. Northey notified of his intention to build. It was then the opinion of this Board that the lines on ''ashingtoa St. • Oct. 23 , 1871. Vol. 7- Page 162 should be straightened as described in the report of this CorLai.ttee. Your Petitioners represent that the line, of the Northey Estate upon both s'ashingtcn and Essex Streets are not straight, with the line of adjoining Estates, but is bro- ken by projections; this is truebut that the said projections will materially effect the Symmetry of the structure to be placed thereon, your Committee cannot see. The Northey Estate is of very contracted dimentions,and it is proposed to place thereon a handsaw and substantial building were the lines contracted so as to remove the pro- jections apparently asked for by your petitionerst the Es- tate would be reduced to such small dimensions, that it would not be an inducement to the present owner, to.place upon it the structure now proposed. It is always a hardship to take land from abuttors for Street purposes and unless the safety and convenience of the Public demand it the authorities should . be guarded in their action thereto, if serious objections are made by the owners. This to your Committee appears to be the case with the subject under consideration. The safe- ty and convenience of the public do not in the minds of your Committee demand a material change of the lines of this Es- tate. '.jashington Street is wide enough for all present and prospective needst and Essex Street, should it ever be wi- dened, can be done so to more advantage,-:on ,he other side, and it appears evident that to take any considerable por. tion of land from the estate would act as a hardship upon the present owner. Your Committee therefore recommend the Board to adhere to its previous action. The report was a ccepted by the Board. • Oct. 23, 18,71.

The necessity of drainage in Streets this locality has long been eminento and it is apparently now imperitive that something should be done to obviate the inconvenience which taxpayers are compelled to submitlThe surface to be drained by the proposed plan, is now at some seasons qui.te covered with water, rendering access to some of the neighboring houses almost an impossibility.

Salem, April 22, 1872. (Signed) by John O 'Connell and 9 others." On motion of %alderman brooks the peti- tion was referred to the Committee on Streets. The following Report of the Joint Spe- Report of cial Committee on the sale of ?deck Lands, was submitted; J. Special The Joint Special Committee of the City Com. on Neck Lands. April 22, 1872., Vol. T- Page 259 Neck Council to whom is referred so much of the Layor's address Lands as relates to the :'.lmshouse iospitul and Ueck Lands, respect- fully report; The subject referred to your Committ- ee is not a novel one. The attention of the City Council has been directed to it at different times during the lost twen- ty years. In 1852 the Committee on Public Property report- ed- " The large tract of land belonging to the City, beyond neck gate, ought in the minion of many without delay, to be surveyed and laid out in streets and squares for sale and settlement. The state Films. :oases in process of erection, I?ill receive so large a portion of our paupers, as to require a reorganization of the City i..,lmshouse establishment, which in that event, may viith great advantage be removed to some other location; and further that a sale of the lands would make a very great addition to the taxable property and in- crease in every way the wealth, business and population of the City." In 18549 T_-Mayor Andrews in his address said- "The opinion is very prevalent that the Alms Houser in its interial arrangements, is unsuitable in many respects, for its designed objects" a=id "6'�ith the existing taste$now so prevalent,for sea shore residences, there are many who believe, that this part of our, City should not be devoted to its present purposes. It will be admitted, I think, that no more beautiful or eligible situations could be selected,than many of the sites now owned by the City in this vicinity; and if, at any future time, it should be clearly demonstra- ted to be not only feasible, but a measure of wise economy, to remove the present pauper establishment, I doubt not that r h residences together .with the the sale of lands, for such ' g sale or lease of other parts of this property, for business purposes, or would add greatly to our p pert y . referring 18 5 the sans �a or refs ng In 5 Lay or n its culti- vation attending to the lands said- The g and management, at the present time, and the annual charge upon the City Treasury,) , for its support, must con- vince and when tableness of its un ro_i , wince the most skeptical P to these results the interest on the estimated value of the whole property is taken into consideration, there cannot re- main a doubt that the time has arrived for the removal of the present establishment and the erection of a smaller build- • April 22,1872. Vol. 7- Page 260 ing elsewhere. Believing that the sale of the property belong- ing to the City,, would be hastened and that higher prices Neck would unquestionably be .obtained for the lands by the remo- Lands val of the whole establishment from that vicinity, I recom- mend the subject to your earliest attention in order that im- mediate steps be taken to devise such plans as may be deemed necessary and expedient in relation to it." In 1856, Mayor Messervy, in the portion of his annual address relating to the Alms House said- "There is no. object that will be presented to your notice, which calls for the exercise of so much p °uddnce:;and foresight . In your reflections upon this subject it will becomes, ques- tion, whether the present large and unwieldy Almshouse es- tablishment shall be remodelled and improved, of whether a new house shall be erected in another and more appropriate location and thereby relieve that portion of our City of an • evil which by the lace of association depreciates the value of adjoining estatese and mare the bould.nof the surro available scenery; and whether such a change for other and more productive purposed and greatly enhance the value of that large landed property belonging to the City, which is now encumbered with that unsightly and expensive ed- ifice, which all admit is wholly unsuitable for the purpose to which it is now applied." In 1858, Mayor Silsbee in his annual ad- dress said- "I would here call your attention to the subject of the neck landst Several plans have been communicated to me in reference to their improvements and a desire expressed for some action upon the subject. Proposals have heretofore been made for their occupation for purposes of ship building; and they are said to be particularly well adapted to the carry- ing on the fisheries whicnt properly conductedt might be made as profitable to those interested, as beneficial to the City. Others are desirous that they should be laid outs and brought into the markets some as sites for business purposes, and others for private residences. This would require the re- moval of the Elms house and might enable the City to erect one, capable of more economical management$ upon their lands in `youth Salem$ the subject at least deserves your attention." The same year the opinion of the City So- licitor, " . C. Endicott Esq* upon the title of the City to these lands' was given in reply to a request of the City Coun- cil. In 1959 the • npril 22, 1372. Vol. 7- Page 261 same Eanyor ,in his annual address said- "If my recommends- Neck Lion of the improvement of the i:eck lands to the attention Lands of your predecessors had produced no further result than the able report of the City.Solicitor on that subject,it would have been the means, at least of bringing before the public a most interesting and valuable document, relating to the early history of the settlement of Salem, and proving con- clusively the right of the City to dispose of them as they may see fit." In 1867 the attention of the City Council aas again called to the subject by Mayor Roberts. The present Mayor has called attention to the subject , and in his annual address suggests the advan- tage of an early sale of the City farm, and the removal of the _.lms House and Hospital to some other locality. Thus the subject has been considered for twen- • ty years, and all the officers of the City who have referred to it have concurred in the opinion that it is expedient to erect new buildings for the poor in another locality and to sell for improvement the land now occupied as the poor farm3 and this opinion has, your Committee believe, been generally approved by the citizens. . The Neck lands originally comprised about one hundred and forty five acres. In 1864, ['tinter Island,so called, contain�.ng about thirty two acres, was, by vote of the City Council ceded to the United States with a reserva- tion to the City of the grass that should grow on the parts not needed for the purposes of that Government. In 1867,upon an application by the City Government, the United States ce- ded back, that portion of it not needed, for the purposes of the present fortifications, until such time as the said site shall be required by the United States Government for pur- poses of defence." In 1869 the entire property of the City in ';inter Island and eight thousand dollars, were given to the glummer rarm school of Reform for boys by direction of the City Council. In 1859 the City Council passed an order that the land known as Hospital Point and containing about four acres, be kept open and dedicated as a public square for the use of the inhabi- • April 22, 1872. Vol. 7- Page 262 tants of Salem forever, the same to be under the care of Neck the City Council, and subject to such restrictions and reg- Lands ulations as said Council shall from time to time establish. There is now owned by the City on the Neck,according to a., survey made in 1854, about one hundred and nine acres. The title of the City to these lands was care- fully examined and considered by the City Solicitor in 1858, and your Committee respectfully refer to his opinion print- ed in the documents of that year. The result arrived at was that the title is good, and that it is perfectly safe for the City to sell and dispose of these lands without fear of disturbance or molestation. Your Committee, after a public -earing and a careful consideration of the subject are unan- imously of the opinion that it is for the interest of the City to construct a new house for the poor and a hospital, on the lands now owned by the City in South Salem, or on • some other suitable lands, which J-44)F be purchased. A fur then report upon the new site and btiildiLg will be hereafter made. Your Committee are further of the opin- ion that it is expedient to sell the lands at public auction at an early days reserving in the sale the right to use the buildings and appurtenances for one year,until new build- ings can be erected. They are also of the opinion and rec- ommended that Essex Street be at once extended across Col- lins Cove to these lands.

($2500.--) dollars, for Beverly the purpose of purchasing a wharf in Beverly, for -the use of the .!ater '.''orks in landing coal cox The consumption of coal is now. between 600 and 700 tons per year, and will increase as the consumption of water increases. To save demurrage,the coal must be dumped upon the wharf as soon as possible after the vessel arrives, and to obtain truckage, at low rates, the teamsters must have time, in which to haul the coal. By giv- ing this time and storing the coal, the rate of trucking and all expenses of loading teams at wharf and unlaading in coal shed at the Lake i is now one dollar per ton, and the wharf- age and storage s 7175.-- If the coal was at once carried to the works, the cost of storage would be somewhat dimin- ished while the cost of truckage would be much more largely increased. Besides, if all the coal was at once carried to the Works) a larger shed would be required, the cost of which would be at least u1500.-- The wharf which has been offered to the Board contains about 9000 square feet of solid wharf, and 3000 square feet of piled wharf, and 4500 square feet of dock.

'ihe cost Engino & will be from $45,000.-- to 50,000.-- rhich must be paid for Boilers during the next summer. The Board recommend this purchase as a safeguard against accident. The present engine has the capacity to pump much more water than is now consumed, but there is a possibility of accident,which may require a long- er time to repair, than the supply of water which the res- ervoir now holds would last, at the present rate of consump- tion. The Reservoir holds 20,000 galls. The present rate of consumption is 19500,000 galls, per day. The pumps now work- on four days of the week. .During the three days between the cessation of one pun?ing until the next pumping, nearly. 51000,000 galls. will have been consumed, so that there would then be only 15,000*000 galls. in the Reservoir,(say ten days supply) If then, any accident should happen to the engine or boilers, there would be only ten days in which to repair it before the water supply was exhausted.
