There is considerable resi- dence property in the immediate vicinity of the premises and. the com- mittee feels that permit to erect such a sign would be very detrimental to the residents and would operate to injure the value of their proper- ties. As to the sign on 66 Loring Avenel corner of Broadway, we find that there is considerable residential property and that it is expected that much more will be erected in the vicinity in the near future. The por- tion is near one of the finest residential districts of Salem and the committee feels that particularly in view of the fact that a very fine fire station, and. a newly created Hygrade Plant with beautiful premises is situated nearby, that they would not be warranted in rendering their approval to the use of the premises for such purposes as this. For these reasons the Committee has felt that it must disapprove both-of the above applications, and would recommend: -leave to withdraw. For the Committee, Adam F.

Resolved: That the City Solicitor be requested to examine the pro- visions of the existing statutes relating to veterans and their organiza- tions, with particular reference to that portion of the law relating to the retirement of veterans in the service of the City of Salem and fur- nish to the City Council at the earliest possible moment an opinion re- lating to the rights of said veterans to a pension or retirement allow- ance contemplated by the provisions of Sections 56 to 59 inclusive of Chapter 32 of the General Laws. These sections apply to veterans of Spanish War, Philippine Insurrec - tion and World Velars . Section 56 provides that such a veteran shall be retired with the consent of the retiring authority if incapacitated for active service at one-half the regular rate of compensation paid to him at the time of retirement and payable from the same source; provided that he has been in the said service at least ten years, has reached the age of fifty and has a total income from all sources exclusive of such re- tirement allowance and of any sum received from the government of the United States as a pension for war service, not exceeding $500.00. Section 57 provides that a veteran who has been in the service of the city for a total period of ten years, may, upon petition to the re- tiring authority, be retired in the discretion of said authority from activ6 service at one-half the regular rate of compensation paid to him at the time of retirement and payable from the same source if he is found by said authority to have become incapacitated for active service, pro- vided that he has a total income from all -sources exclusive of such re- tirement allowance and of any sum received from the government of the United States as a pension for war service, not exceeding $500.00 . Section 58 provides that a veteran who has been in the service of the city for a total period of thirty years, shall, at his own request, with the approval of the retiring authority, be retired from active ser- vice at one-half the regular rate of compensation paid to him at the time of retirement and payable from the same source. Section 59 provides that the retiring authority in a city shall be the mayor. t 181 January 27, 1938 Section 60 of said Chapter 32 provides that said Sections 56-59 in- clusive shall not take effect in any city until accepted by the retiring authority of the city. I have been informed by the City Clerk that the records of his of- fice do not show that there has been an acceptance of these sections by the mayor, or that any veteran has been pensioned thereunder. However, it is my opinion that any veteran described in these sections who has entered the service of the city previous to June 30, 1937 and who has not joined the contributory retirement system for city employees provided for by Chapter 318 of the hets of 1936, may be retired on a pension by the mayor in accordance with the terms of said sections 56 to 59 inclusive of Chapter 32 of the General Laws if he is eligible therefor.

City Council City Hall Salem, Pass . Gentlemen: I have received a request from your Honorable body for an opinion on the following questions: 1. Are funds received from Playground activities public funds? It is my opinion that funds received from Playground activities . . which are conducted by the Park Commission are public funds. I£ an or- ganization, society, or person is permitted to use a part of the play- grounds by the Park Commission for recreational, social, or educational purposes and such organization, society, or person received donations a a result of the activities which they conduct in accordance with said permission, it is my opinion that such donations do not have to be turned in to the City Treasurer. 2. Is the City Treasurer the proper person to receive and expend funds received from activities on property under the control of the Park De- partment? It is my opinion that the City Treasurer is the proper person to receive and disburse funds received from activities conducted by the Park Commission on property under their control, but not from activitie N6 May 12, 1938 conducted as stated in the answer to the first question by an organiza- tion, society or person. 3. Has any person other than the City Treasurer the right to receive, hold and expend funds received as a result of activities within .park property in the City of Salem? I believe this question is answered in the answer to the first and second questions. 4. Under what legal status does the Playground Commission operate and what is its legal relation to the Park Department of the City of Salem? I do not believe there is any Playground Commission in Salem. I am informed that there is a Playground Committee which is a private organ- ization in the nature of a voluntary association. I believe that it has no legal relation to the Park Department of the City of Salem. 5. Has the Playground Commission any legal right to purchase materials or supplies or to otherwise expend money at present for Playground activ- ities through any source than the City Treasurer? I assume that this question is intended to mean the Playground Com- mittee which has been referred to above. It is my opinion that this Com- mittee, from funds which they received from private sources, may purchase materials or supplies or otherwise expend money for playground activities . Very truly yours, James Kinsella City Solicitor" neport The report of the City marshal for the month of April was received 368 and placed on file. Zoning A communication from Jon B.

(Only per- mits for garages having not more than three cars in question) . " The license which has been heretofore granted by the City Council, after a public hearing, to applicants for a permit to build a garage, was issued in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 of Chapter 148 of the General Laws. This Chapter deals with fire prevention. Said Section 14 has now been amended by Chapter 103 of the Acts of 1936, which provides that said Section 14 shall not apply to any private garage not in existence on July 11 1911 which is appurtenant to a dwelling and in which not more than three automobiles or motor vehicles are kept. This Act is now effective and in my opinion eliminates the necessity of any action by the City Council in the matter of granting licenses to erect private garages appurtenant to a dwelling, which contain not more than three cars. Of course, the building of a garage is still subject to the pro- visions of the City Ordinances relative to buildings and it is within the power of the City Council to pass any such ordinance regulating the building of garages as may properly be within the exercise of the police power for the prevention of fire and the preservation of life, health and morals.
