The following communication from the I'layor was read: Golf Course
144
Ilayor's Office, City Hall, March 12, 1931
To the Members of the City Council,
Gentlemen:
At a previous meeting of the City Council an order was passed in re-
lation to the purchase of Cabot Farm, so-called, for such purposes as
the Park Commissioners wishes to use said land. Obviously they desired
to use this land for the construction of part of a nine holee golf course
another part to be constructed on the parcel of land purchased by the
ti
Larch 129 _ 1931
City for park purposes, namely Kernwood Park, and which is under the con-
trol of the Park Commissioners.
In this regard I am submitting herewith an opinion of the City Soli-
citor in relation to the use of park land for any purpose for which a
charge is to be made , and it is clear from this opinion that Kernwood
Park, so called, cannot be used for any purposes for which a charge is to
be made . It becomes necessary therefore , if it is the wish of the City
Council, that the Cabot Farm and Kernwood Park be developed into a nine
hole golf course , to petition the Legislature for the right to allow the .
public the use of Kernwood Park as a playground, on which golf can be
played and a revenue received therefrom.
As the Legislature will admit only such petitions as are sponsored
by the City Governments , at this late period in the session, I recommend
that the Legislature be petitioned by the City Council for such change as
noted above , and that immediate action be taken on the same .
George J. Bates Mayor"
Councillor McGrath moved that the City Council of the City of Salem
request permission from the General Court to use Kernwood Park which
has been taken for park purposes for the use of the Park Commissioners
as. a source of revenue. Councillor Coffey moved an amendment to refer
the matter to the Committee on Legislation. Councillor O ' Connell moved
an amendment to the amendment to place the whole matter on file . The
amendment to the amendment was not voted by a vote of two in favor
(Councillors O'Connell and Dolan) and nine opposed. The amendment was
then voted, and the original motion, as amended, was voted and the
matter was referred to the Committee on Legislation. Councillor Dolan
gave notice that he would ask for reconsideration at the next meeting.
Report The report of the City Marshal for the month of February was re-
145

Opinion The following communication from the City Solicitor was read and
510
placed on file:
Legal Department June 6, 1931
To the Honorable. City Council,
Salem, Massachusetts,
Gentlemen:
ize
0
June 25, 1931
I am in receipt of your order of May 28, 1931) asking if the ap-
pointment of a Deputy Sealer of Weights and Measures is subject to con-
firmation and rejection by the City Council.
General Laws , Chapter 980 Section 34 provides that the Mayor shall
appoint a Deputy Sealer of Weights and Measures subject to General Laws,
Chapter 31. Chapter 31 contains the provisions of the Civil Service
Law. .
Previous to the codification which is now the General Law,, the
statute provided that the Mayor and Aldermen should appoint a Deputy
Sealer of Weights and Measures. In the codification which is now Gener-
al Laws, Chapter 98, Section 34 the word "Aldermen" was omitted. This
omission is significant. I have visited the State House and conferred
i
with the Division of Standards--Department Labor and Industry to discove
any record showing why the omission was made. I was unable to find any
record, but was told that the Division of Standards thought that the
word "Aldermen" was omitted to prevent a conflict between General Laws
Chapter 98, Section 34 and the Civil Service laws and regulations.
This supposition seems reasonable if vie consider the result of per-
mitting the City Council to confirm or reject an appointment made by the
Mayor . The Mayor is required by the Civil Service laws and regulations
to apply for an eligible list before he can make a permanent appointment
The Civil Service Commission will prepare an eligible list containing
three names . If one of the eligibles is a disabled veteran within the
meaning of the Givil Service rules the Mayor must appoint him as Deputy.
It would be a strange situation if the law permits the City Council to
reject the only person the law requires the Mayor to appoint.
If in the list of three eligibles no one is a disabled veteran the
Mayor may select one of the three. He can reject all but only for good
reasons approved by the Civil Service Commission. The Mayor must give
a valid reason for his objection before the Civil Service Commission
will submit a fourth name. If the Mayor appoints any person not on the
eligible list as furnished by the Civil Service Commission the commis-
sion has power and will stop the. pay of such person. Assume the case
I" of the Mayor sending in succession the three names on the eligible list
1 to the City Council and the City Council rejecting each in succession.
The result would be the Civil Service Commission would refuse to submit
to the Mayor other names and the office would remain unfilled.
My attention has been called to a clause in General Laws, Chapter
121
June 25 , 1931
31, Section 1. This clause separated from the qualifying provisions of
other words in this section and other sections in the same chapter seems
to read that all appointments of the Mayor shall be subject to confirma-
tion and rejection by the City Council. �
Section 24 of Chapter 39 reads:
"The provisions of this chapter shall be in force only so far as
they are not inconsistent with the express provisions of any general or
special law."
It is my opinion that Chapter 39, Section 1 of the General Laws
does not apply to the appointment of a Deputy Sealer of Weights and
Measures because inconsistent with General Laws, Chapter 98, Section 34,
and that the appointment is not subject to confirmation and rejection
by the City Council.
Answering catagorically your question, it the ordinance reads
"without confirmation" it is legal. If it reads "subject to confirma-
tion of City Council" it is illegal . The proposed ordinance might omit
all reference to confirmation and provide that the Mayor shall appoint
and e r General Laws, Chapter 98, Section 34 a Deputy Sealer of Weights
and Measures.
Very respectfully yours ,
William A. Pew City Solicitor"

John J. Connelly, Esq.
City Clerk
Salem, Tia.ssaehusetts
Dear Sir :
I received under date of September i2 a reference by the Honor-
able City Council to the City Solicitor for an opinion as to whether a
pension should be granted to Richard C. Lander as a mechanic or laborer.
To make such a decision involves in a large measure a finding
of fact. The only matter of law involved is whether the .evidence justi-
fies the finding of fact that Mr. Lander is a mechanic. I have rear} the
evidence submitted to the Mayor and am of the opinion that the evidence
amply justifies a finding that 'Hr. Lander eras a mechanic within the
meaning of the Massachusetts statutes .
Respectfully pubmitted,
Pulliam A. Pew City Solicitor"

thirds yea and nay vote after ai:rendinvc it by striking out the emergency
preamble which consists of everythin-g before the first word "ordered"
and such aiaended order is a)proved by the mayor and published once a. ain
after final passage and twenty days after such final passage expires
without a petition for a referendum being filed we sl.all be in a posi-
tion to approve the loan order anG the issue of the bonds pursuant
.hereto.

their information.
Yours faithfully,

Mayor's Office , City Hall, July 5, 1932
To the Members of the City Council,
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith without my approval an ordinance which is
an amendment to the zoning ordinance of Salem and which provides for
the changing to a business zone one lot of land in the Vinnan Square
area.
When the zoning law was first considered, hearings were held in
various parts of the City to which the people were invited to present
�x
July 14 , 1932
their views on the advisability of setting aside various sections of the
city for specific purposes. Residents in the Vinnan Square area ap-
peared and requested that their section be made residential under the
zoning law. There was no suggestion for any other usage being made of
property in that section and with the exception of where business had
already existed the zoning law clas enacted classifying this area as
residential.
The residents of this section feeling secure in this respect devel-
oped and improved their property and felt they could have peace, comfort
and quietness of home life , and that their property values would not be
affected by any future encroachments of business or any other activities
This section of the City is rapidly developing as a residential . section
and the owners of property there have assumed that it would be main-
tained as such.
At a hearing held before the Iaayor, many of the owners of property
in the Vinnan Square area appeared. and voiced vigorous opposition to the
proposed change , stating that this so-called restaurant or tea room, no
matter how-well maintained would bring about conditions that would con-
stitute a nuisance, depreciate property values and would interfere with
the peace and quietness of home surroundings which they were led to be-
lieve they would be able to enjoy.
The adoption of the zoning law was a most important matter to the
welfare of our citizens and is recognized as one of the most progressive
steps that Massachusetts cities have taken in many years . The changing
of it is a serious business and ought to be done only where there is
real need or where substantial improvement in surroundings is made or
where a distinct hardship might exist, but where such a unanimity of
i
feeling of opposition to a change prevails among the residents of any
section as exists in this case, certainly their petition is ,entitled to
more than ordinary consideration.
I find no demand nor need for such. a change in the zoning ordinance
as suggested, neither do I find any hardship existing. Property in the
area under consideration is in the same category as all other propertie
in that section and should be developed as residential being on a main
highway and an important entrance to our City. The use of it for com-
mercial purposes to the detriment of home owners should not be permitte .
The value of property owned by objectors to this change in ordi-
nance is over fifty thousand dollars and brings in substantial revenue
332
July 14, 1932
to the City while the value of the land i,,here the change is contemplated
is but seven hundred and ninety dollars . It is obvious that the object-
ors have a substantial argument in their favor. Changing the zoning
ordinance would, I believe, be but an opening wedge in breaking down the
zoning laws in this section of the City. It will be difficult to refuse
other petitioners if this change is made. The petition for this change
is sponsored and supported only by people who do not live in Salem. It
is opposed by many, all of whom are home owners and residents of this
section of Salem. A restaurant or tea room, such as is proposed, on the
outskirts of our City, in the midst of a residential section, is ho as-
set to the City. The experience the police are having with restaurants
and lunch carts in this City the Council are already familiar with.
I believe that granting this change for the above purpose , not-
withstanding the good intentions of the owner, would bring about a
nuisance. The residents of this section of the City are entitled to
protection and I believe it should be given to them in this case.
Very truly yours ,
George J. Bates Mayor°

October 13 , 1932
colleague and fellow Councillor, G.Arthur Bodwell, that occurred on Sat-
urday, Septemb.er_24, 1932, and also to extend to his bereaved family
their sympathy in their great sorrow and trial.
G. Arthur Bodwell was born in Salem, , Massachusetts, July 4, 1859,
and educated in. the public schools of our City, graduating from the
Salem High School in1876. His public service began when he entered the
employ of the City, as Secretary of . the Overseers of the Poor. He
served as a member of the Board of Aldermen in 1900 and 1901, and was
later elected in 1918 as a Councillor at Large, being re-elected each
year until 1927. Then again elected to City Council in 1930, he was
serving out the term which ends January 1, 1934, a period of two years,
when his death occurred.
He was elected to Massachusetts Legislature and served in 1906 and
1907, and he was Chairman and a member of the Board of Health from 1900
to 1908. He also was Secretary of the Board of Overseers of the Poor
i
from July 27, 1908 to January 27, 1914. He then resigned to accept an
appointmant .as Visitor for the State Board of Charities, and held this
position until his retirement on July 3, 1929, having reached the age
limit , which is 70 years for State Employees.
In the many years that he was in the Public Service, he made a
host of friends by his kindly disposition and genial personality that
endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, always doing what he
deemed was just and fair. His, indeed, was a long and faithful service
to the City and the State . Desiring to express our full apreciation of
that- service, and out loss of his personal presence and pleasant fellow-
ship, it is hereby
Resolved, That in the death of 'G. Arthur Bodwell, the City of
Salem has lost a faithful and capable public official, and the City
Council a member, who at all times served with honor to himself and to
the public he represented, and be it further
Resolved, That we herewith extend our deepest sympathy to his wid-
ow and his relatives, in this, their hour of sorrow and grief, and be
it further
Resolved, That these expressions of our feeling of his loss and
our appreciation of his work become a part of our official record, and
that a copy of them be sent to his family, with the assurance that
their great sorrow is ours, also. "

December 8, 1932
To the Members of the City Council,
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I desire to call to your attention the necessity of a complete
study of the administrative work of the City by the City Government, in
conjunction with the Mayor, with the view in mind of bringing about fur-
ther economies in the administration of City business. The present sit-
uation that the cities of this State are facing demands the close scru-
tiny of all municipal expenditures and with falling revenues and in-
creasing relief costs, it becomes imperative that this study should be
made immediately so that the fiscal program of the city for the year
1933 may be determined before the first of the year. It is not necessary
for me to call your attention to the conditions our cities are to face
the coming year because I know you are familiar with the facts. To this
end, I suggest that a committee of five members of the City Council be
appointed for the purpose of conferring with the Mayor in relation to
the possible reduction in municipal costs. A similar committee has al-
ready been appointed by the School Committee.
Very truly yours,
George J. Bates Mayor"
