Salem, Mass.
Lear Sir:
I have received your note of March 28 requesting my opinion as to
the need of confirmation by the City Council of the assistant assessors
appointed.
Chapter 287 of the Acts of 1928 provide:
In the case of any City where there is no provision of lave for
the appointment of assistant assessors under certain ci.rcumotances the
Mayor subject to the confirmation by the City Council or the assessors ,
as the City Council nay deter ine , may aj� oint nssistant assessors .
Nothin` is said in this act about the confirmation of assistant asses-
sors except in the case where the "ayor appoints them.
The Ordinance of the City of Salem, Chapter 2, Section 2, provides :
That the assistant assessors shall be appointed by the assessor,^ .
This is a provision of law reEnla.tin^ the appointment and i.= . '
determination by the City Council as to the manner in which the assis-
tant assessors shall be appointed.
In my opinion, confirmation of the appointment of assistant :s:sec-
:;ors by the City Council is not necessary.
Very truly. yours, William A. Few Cit, Solicitor

566
Mayor's Office , City Hall, June 13, 1929
To the Members of the City Council,
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I recommend the passage of the accompanying order amending the
bonding order adopted by the City Council on April 11, 1929, providing
for the appropriation of $49 ,411.17 for the purpose of paying the assess-
ment levied on the City of Salem by the County Commissioners for the re-
building of Kernwood Bridge.
This action is necessary because of the fluctuation in the
money market 'as set forth in the communication of the City Treasurer sub-
mitted herewith, which makes it impossible to sell our bonds at the rate
of interest determined in said order, and follows closely the statutes
which set forth under what conditions the rate of interest shall be de-
termined.
I also suggest that the action of the City Council amending the
order so as to read 41 be rescinded as the attorneys for the bonding
houses do not feel they can approve a 42L% loan under that order. It will
be necessary, therefore, to amend the original loan order of April llth.
A copy of said amendment is herewith submitted together with a completed
.June_ .13,. 1929_
order as amended for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
George J. Bates Mayor"
i

striking out after the words "Kernwood Bridge Reconstruction Doan, Acts
of 1927" the following sentence "they shall bear interest at the rate of
4-j per centum per annum, payable semi annually in the months of April
and October" and inserting in place thereof the sentence "and shall bear
such rate of interest as may be fixed by the City Treasurer with the ap-
proval of the Mayor" so as to read as amended:
Ordered: That there be raised and appropriated the sum of $49,411. 17
for the purpose of paying the assessments levied on the City of Salem by
the County Commissioners of Essex County, under authority of Chapter 232,
Section 3, Acts of 1927 ; and that, to meet said appropriation, there be
raised in the levy of the current year the sum of $411.17, and that the
Treasurer with the approval of the Mayor be , and hereby is authorized to
borrow the sum of $49,000.00 and to issue bonds or notes of the City
therefor, said bonds of notes to be issued under authority of, and in
accordance with said chapter and of Chapter 44 of the General Laws, so
that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than five years from the
date of issue of the first bond or note , or at such earlier dates as the
Treasurer and Mayor may determine. They shall bear on their face the
words and figures City of Salem, Kernwood Bridge Reconstruction Loan,

Notice was received from the Phayor that he had placed on the pensioi Pension

thereto.
The following communication was read and placed on file: Reward
934
Mayor's Office, City Hall, September 12, 192
To the City Council, City of Salem,
Gentlemen:
An order passed by the City Council on September 10, 1929 requests
the Mayor "to appropriate an amount of money, the sum to be decided by
him, as a reward for the detection or prosecution of the person or per-
sons who committed the vandalism at St. Mary' s Cemetery on the night of
Sept. 7 or the morning of Sept. 8, 1929" .
Chap. 400 Sec. 17 of the General Laws authorizes rewards by the city
for the purpose only of apprehending persons who commit a felony.
Chap. 274, Sec. 1 defines a felony as a crime punishable by death
or imprisonment in the state prison and says all other crimes are mis-
demeanors .
Whether the acts committed in the cemetery constitute a felony or
misdemeanor depends on the punishment provided for the person convicted.
Chap. 272, Sec. 73 provides punishment for the destruction or other
iC 8
September 12, 1929
injury to tombs, gravestones or other memorial of the dead, by a fine of I
not more than $1000 or by imprisonment in the jail or house of correction
for not more than two and one half years.
The punishment for the vandalism in the cemetery, therefore , makes
it a misdemeanor and rewards of the nature proposed by the order may only
be offerred for felonies under the chapter and section above cited.
Furthurmore Chap. 248 of the Acts of 1926 provides that any city
official violating any provision of the General Laws relating to the in-
curring of liability or expenditure of public funds shall be punished by
a fine of not more than 01000 or by imprisonment for not more than a
year or both. It will thus be seen that the order before me is illegal
because the crime complained of is not a felony and that the appropria-
tion, if made, would call for punishment almost as severe as the acts of
vandalism referred to in the order.
The law limits the amount of a reward in any case of felony to W500.
I
If it is thought that a reward of this or a larger sum will help in the
detection of a crime so offensive in its disregard of the respect due to
burial enclosures, we must depend on the contributions of private citi-
zens . The police department, however, will be as active in their efforts
without as with a reward and it is to be hoped that any citizens with
any information bearing on the matter would offer it without thought of
reward.
It is needless to say that the Mayor is in full sympathy with the
spirit behind the order. IIe would readily comply with the request of
the council if he could do so lawfully and without incurring the grave
penalty fixed by law for such a use of the public funds by city offi-
cials.
The order is herewith returned.
George J. Bates Mayor
On motion of Councillor Dolan, it was voted to request the City Soli-
citor for an opinion as to whether the vandalism at St. Mary' s Cemetery
constituted a felony.

John J. Connelly, Esq.
City Clerk
Salem, Mass .
Dear Sir:
I have received from you under date of September 13 the following
order passed by the City Council:
"That the City Solicitor be requested to give the Council an opini-
on as to what crimes, the person or persons who broke into St. Mary 's
Cemetery on Sept . 8 - 9, 1929, can be charged with. "
I assume this information is asked in reference to offering a
reward by the City.
The City can offer a reward for a felony and not a misdemeanor.
The person engaged in this outrage might have committed various mis-
demeanors, such as, injuring and defacing tombs , desecration of burial
grounds, removal of flowers from graves, etc. These misdemeanors are
all enumerated in the General Laws, Chapter 272.
The only felony that occurs to me in connection with desecration
of burial grounds would be willfully digging up and removing a body.
Very truly yours ,
William A. Pew City Solicitor.

To the Honorable
The Mayor and Council
of the City of Salem
i
September 260 1929
Gentlemen: -
Sometime ago Councillors O'Callaghan and Irzyk requested the Salem
Terminal Corporation to grant permission for the use of part of our prop-
erty, commonly known as the Adamanta property, for purpose of extending
and rearranging the outfield of the baseball grounds of the City of Sale
at Rowell' s Field, representing that because of the present layout of the
diamond and outfield the safety of the baseball players was put jeopardy
in that a hit to left field often caused the fielders to run out into
Ford Avenue where there is much automobile and street car travel.
The Salem Terminal Corporation is very glad to do what it can to
help remedy this situation and has accordingly caused its new iron fence
separating Rowell' s Field from the Adamanta property to be deflected in-
ward upon the Adamanta property so that it has added to the baseball
field a piece of land measuring approximately 881x11921x811x2131 . This
piece of land was the piece suggested by Superintendent of Parks , Oliver
G. Pratt and we are inclosing a rough sketch prepared by Superintendent
Pratt .
We are granting permission to use this land temporarily and without
any legal consideration and we reserve the right to cancel this permit
at any time without notice . It is however our intention to allow the
use of this piece of land until such time as it becomes necessary to
make use of it for the purposes of our company.
In order to avoid the possibility of any future misunder$tanding
we would like to have this letter and sketch spread upon the city records.
Very truly yours ,
Salem Terminal Corporation

as required by City Charter.
To the City Council, City of Salem,
Gentlemen:
An order before me, adopted by the Council Sept . 26, 1929 , provides
for the use , for school house purposes, of a lot of land at the entrance
to Greenlawn Cemetery extending easterly on Orne Street 200 feet and
having a depth of 160 feet. This order was in compliance with a vote of
the school committee taken on Sept. 9th whereby the Mayor and Council
were requested to authorize the use of the lot for a new school in North
Salem. The Mayor as ex officio member of the school committee was op-
posed to this site and is so now in the capacity in which he is con-
sidering the matter anew.
For the benefit of the Council the Mayor will briefly review the
case as a school committee matter. Under existing conditions in North
Salem this site , in its proxiluity to the cemetery, is not the only con-
sideration. Objections to the site and school may be urged on the
MIN

Cctober _10, .1929
ground that an addition to the present Cogswell school would mean better
school administration in the general locality and give an opportunity for
an easier adjustment of the grades. The central location of an enlarged
Cogswell school would also enable the school to relieve , when necessary,
i f(
any of the other three schools in the vicinity and make it more conven-
ient for a large majority of the primary pupils on the easterly side ,of
North Street , 142 of such pupils being better served by the Cogswell
school and 44 being better served by the proposed school. These points
are all noted by the superintendent of schools .
On the other side it is pointed out that the proposed school, wiil,
first, care for the future growth of school populoation in an expected
development of 35 acres of land and, second, make it unnecessary for
children to cross Korth street. It is my opinion, and I' think it would
be generally felt, that this future growth in school populoation is too
remote to justify the erection of a four room school only one or two
rooms of which will be occupied for the present . As to the matter of
crossing North street , any condition tending to the children' s safety
invites a ready sympathy; but , while important , this reason, in fixing
school locations , cannot of itself ever be controlling. The danger to
children crossing streets exists in every city in the state and the
method of dealing with it is uniform.
Localities with a school population .are often intersected by main
highways . A situation is hardly conceivable v:here street crossings by
children can be avoided, with schools and school populations arranged on
one side or the other only of main arteries . Nearly every street now,
even the side street, is subject to regular and often frequent use by
cars and danger to children lurks everywhere. Where they must cross
crowded traffic lanes, as in the case of those crossing Essex and Federal
streets, for example , to attend the Bowditch school, police escort is
provided. Such provision for the children's safety is now in force on
North street and will be extended here and elsewhere as circumstances
dictate.
This side of the case , however, is ,as stated, a school committee
rather than a city council matter but the latter body may well be con-
cerned with the site of the proposed school butting as it would on a
city cemetery, the proper care and administration of which is the coun-
oil 's direct concern. The Mayor has received from lot owners in the
cemetery many protests against the erection of a school on the site
` 185
October 10, 1929
selected by the school committee and granted by the council in the order
of Sept. 26th. Long before any new school was proposed the cemetery was
being used by boys for travel back and forth and damage was done to
several lots to the great indignation of lot owners. The legislature
recognizes the sentiment attached to burial places and the General Laws
put heavy penalties on those disturbing the peace or damaging the proper -
ty in such enclosures . Unfortunately when the offenders , always boys ,
are apprehended, there is much difficulty in dealing with them because
of their age and lack of appreciation of the gravity of their conduct.
Typical of complaints received at the Mayor's office is the following:
"It seems to us a piece of rank injustice to owners of lots in the ceme-
tery after paying for the land and spending money to beautify it to turn
it into a thoroughfare and playground for the children. Conditions are
already bad enough in that respect. Children are constantly using it
for passing to and from the pond and more than once we have caught them
in the act of taking articles from the graves and destroying them" .
Another protest reads, "already having had trouble with the children
from the playgrounds who have taken the flowers off the lot and destroye
them no less than five times in two weeks and also destroying vases so
that they could not be used again, I wish to enter a protest against the
school site on Orne street as I fear that there will be further trouble
of the same nature" .
A school so near the cemetery as this would, inevitably, invite
more trouble of the nature described and there would be developed a
tendence to regularly invade grounds reserved and dedicated for a very
exclusive use . All the protests at this office are founded in a senti-
ment understood and respected by all. I cannot deal with these opjec-
tions lightly and I am giving them full force and first place in reach-
ing a position on the order of Sept. 26th.
Not all the reasons for and against the location can be included in
a message of this character limited as it usually is to reasons against
the passage of a particular order. But this being a matter concerning
independent boards of government and having been approved by one before
the passage by the council of the order before the Mayor he deemed it
proper to set forth for the council ' s benefit, in reconsidering its ac-
tion, some reasons why the school committee seemed to favor the site .
An expression of public opinion which we have had in this case in favor
and against this site has been helpful and has made easier an official
solution of the matter. In the Mayor ' s opinion the reasons against the
tJF6
O.ct.ober. 10, 1929
granting of the location provided for in the order outweigh those in its
favor and consequently the order is herewith returned without his appro-
val.
Respectfully submitted,

Legal Department, April 10, 1930
John J. Connelly, Esq.
City Clerk
Salem, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I have received your communication of March 28, enclosing a
deed from the City of Salem to the Eastern Massachusetts Electric Com-
pany conveying certain rights to erect, construct, and maintain trans-
mission lines over flats in the North River, Salem.
I have also received a communication from you to the effect
that the City of Salem by virtue of the Acts of 1884, Chapter 194 took
the flats in question for the purpose of abating a nuisance .
The Act . of 1884 provides that the title of all flats so take
shall vest in the City of Salem in fee simple, and that the same may be
sold and conveyed by the City in such manner as the City Council may
determine .
It is my opinion that under this act the City of Salem can
legally grant the rights of way over their flats in the North River as
requested by the Eastern Massachusetts Electric Company in their peti-
tion and can cause the deed in question to be executed.
Very truly yours ,
William A. Pew City Solicitor
