March 21 , 1945 Honorable City Council City Hall Salem, Mass. Gentlemen: �I I have your letter dated March 8, 1945, in which you set forth the r. following facts: "On the eighth day of January of this year, the School Committee submitted to the Mayor for presentation to the City Council itemized and detailed estimates of the amounts it deemed necessary for the support of the public schools of Salem during the fiscal year and calendar year of t I 1945, the total amount requested being $648,479.00. Subsequently, the Mayor called for an appropriation of $636,621.01 for school purposes. The difference between the estimate of the School Committee for the item for school purposes in the budget as submitted by the Mayor was $11 ,857.99. The Mayor' s budget reduced the estimate of the School Committee for the salary of the Superintendent of Schools from Six Thousand Dollars s annually to Fifty—Six Hundred Dollars annually, and further included reductions or elimination of forty other 4thms for salaries and repairs and equipment . The School Committee pursuant to a vote of that body on Februafy 12, 1945, has transmitted directly to the City Council its estimate of amounts it deems necessary to support the public schools for the fiscal and calendar year 1945 in the amount originally presented to the Mayor and has requested the City Council to appropriatethe amount .as specified in its estimate, including the salary of the Superintendent at the rate set by the School Committee, and the forty other items reduced or eliminated by the Mayor. 29 March 22, 1945 The School Cnmtuittee contends that the Mayor was without authority or legal right to reduce the amount stated in the estimate of the School Committee, and that the City Council may legally and is bound to approp- riate a sum sufficient to support the public schools of the City of Salem as estimated by the School Committee. In support of its contention, the School Committee has called to the attention of the City Council the case of Hayes V. Brockton, O'Brien v. Pittsfield, Attorney General v. Woburn." My opinion is then requested by you on the following questions: "1. As to the-power and duty. of the City- Council to appropriate for the School Department a budget sufficient to pay the salary of a Super- intendent of Schools in the amount specified in the estimate of the School Committee as being necessary for the support of the public schools of the City of Salem. 2. As to whether the action of the Mayor in submitting to the Council an amount less than the estimate of the School Committee is with- out authority or warrant in law and should be disregarded by the City Council." In answer to the first question , it is my opinion that the City Council has no power to increase the amount fixed in the budget by the Mayor in the circumstances disclosed above. ' In answer to the second question, it is my opinion that the action of the Mayor in submitting to the Council an amount legs than the estimate of the School Committee should not be disregarded by the City Council. If it should develop at some time later in the current year that there is not sufficient amounts in the school department approp- riation for the purposes set forth in your letter, and for the amounts requested by the School Committee in their estimates, then it will become the duty of the Mayor and the City Council to furnish the amounts necessary by a supplementary appropriation. I might add that I had read the cases cited in your letter, and have reviewed them again since receiving your request for an opinion. Very truly yours, ( signed) James Kinsella City Solicitor 130& An Act authorizing the City of Salem to appropriate money for the Payment of bills payment of, and to pay cetain unpaid bills was read and placed on file. 131.

Survey Parking and recommendation adopted: Meters. "The Committee on Traffic, to whom was referred the matter of making a survey relating to parking meters to be used for regulation of parking in the City of Salem, has considered said matter and would recommend as follows in the attached report : 'The Council Committee on Traffic, in accordance with the wishes of the members of the City Council has made a survey into the question of parking meters and wishes at this time to submit the following report and recommendations: As part of this survey, an ordinance authorizing the acquisition, install ation, maintenance and enforcement of parking meter regulations has already been passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor. This provides for meter installations for the enforcement of one hour parking regulations on the following streets in whole or in part : Central St. Lafayette St. Charter St . Liberty St. Crombie St. LyndaSt. Derby St. North St. Essex St. New Derby St. Federal St. St . Peter St. Front St. Washington St. The entire membership of the council has been invited and did set in with your committee and observed the operation and the type of mechanical arrangement of a number of parking meters which were demonstrated to us by representatives of the various meter concerns. This included both the manual or hand operated types and the automatic types. Much interesting discussion has taken place analyzing the various features of these several devices. Your committee has acquired a great deal of material on all kinds of parking meters and has visited a number of actual installations and has research material at hand on which it has based its recommendations as to type and make which would best suit our needs here in Salem. As the members of the Council are well acquainted with the various merits of and objections to some of the devices inspected we do not feel it necessary to include a detailed account of these comparative values here. We recommend, as a result of our studies, the installation of an automati narking meter throughout the meter areas in order to obtain uniformity Of operation , maintenance and public _usage and acceptance. We further recommend the use of a meter that can give us operation with pennies and nickels, that is one cent for 12 minutes, 2 cents for 24 minutes, 3 cents for thirty-six minutes, four cents for 48 minutes and either five I Pennies or 1 nickel for 60 minutes - one hour. li I, 442 January- 23, 1947 The meter being a timing device which is required to operate out of doors in all kinds of weather must, to avoid the need of mucn undue servicing, have a high grade clock device, well sealed against the weather and still easily accessible and not difficult to service. Such a meter must be able to stand up under the stress of the wear and tear required of an installation on the streets, and also be capable of withstanding tampering in the region of both the clock and coin bok. These features along with many other desirable features not here enumerat d, along with the service records produced by it in may cities wher6: it has been in operation up to nearly 12 years time calls for the recommendation by your coi�mittee of the Dual Automatic Parking Meter which. is guaranteed against all mechanical defects for the period of 1 year, installed withou any cost whatsoever to the City of Salem and installed by them on a trial F basis for six months, the cost to be paid on a 75% - 25% basis out of revenue from the meters after which time the entire revenue belongs to the City of Salem. These meters have a record of revenues as high as $132.00 per year. The Dual Parking Meter Company to havetheirengineers survey the entire areas to be laid out for installation , to supervise and do the actual installation of meters and standards. The price to be not more than $73.00 per meter, F.O.B. , Canton, Ohio, plus 50V per meter for freight and a price of not more than $3.50 per meter for installation. They to furnish a performance bond to cover the is work to its completion and to furnish a 1 year guarantee against mechanic il defects in workmanship and written agreement as- to the trial period of 6 months. Delivery to be made within 120 days from date of order. They to train a maintenance man to be selected by the city. They to agree to furnish 3 complete extra meters for every 100 meters on an order of 500 or more, also all necessary parts for proper servicing an tools, coin carrying cases, one case for each 60 meters purchased. We further recommend that the Council consider the extending of the parking meter zones to include both sides of Lafayette St. between New Derby St. and Harbor St. also Washington St . both sides from Dodge St. to Harbor St. We also recommend that municipally owned parking areas be put into good surface condition; properly marked and laid out and equipped with these parking meters tied to give 2 hours parking time for five cents so that maximum benefit of such areas may be had by constant movement of cars in and out of these municipally operated areas..

Opinion The following communication from the City Solicitor was received Posta; e :Machines. and made a matter of record: December 11, 1947 Honorable City Council City Hall Salem, Massachusetts 649 T___DecemtZer Gentlemen: 'f I have your request for an opinion as to what authority the City Council has to grant permission to install coin operated stamp vending machines in the streets of the City. i It is my opinion that the City Council has no authority to grant suc permission. The primary purpose of a highway is the passing and repassing of the public which is entitled, as far as 'needed, to the full and unobstructed and uninterrupted enjoyment of the entire width of the layout for that purpose. rte, There are certain uses which are authorized by statute particularly c to the owner of the fee in the public way; in other words the abutting owner, subject to its use for travel. However, I find no statutory auth- ority for such a use as you have been requested to grant. F.

Salem The Committee on Public Property have considered the matter of re- Express. negotiating the lease of the City of Salem to the Salem Express Publishin l Company At the time that the lease was to take effect , June 1 , 1947, certain l materials belonging to the City of Salem were on the premises and pre- 1 vented the Salem Express Publishing Company from occupying the same. The materials were removed at various times, but no occupancy could be under- taken by the Salem Express Publishing Company until about the middle of September. Short*y after that date, the Salem Express Publishing Company commenced the work of installing the foundation and did complete the foundation and did place a printing press on the foundation. Since that date, the Salem Express Publishing Company have been unable to get the necessary equipment, especially electrical equipment , in order I +, that the press might be operated. During the period from June until mid-September, the materials to Properly operate the press were available, but it was impossible to make use of them and the contractor dispo®ed of this material. Had the property been available to the Salem Express Publishing Company at the time of the lease , this equipment would not have been disposed of, and the Salem Express Publishing Company would have been able to operate. In part , at least , the failure of the City to have the premises avai - 666 able at the time of the lease has prevented the Salem Express Publishing Company from making full use of the premises. The result has been, in effect , that it has been and will be used for storage by the Salem Express Publishing Company, and therefore , the rent should be reduced to a storage rental basis. A representative of the Salem Publishing Company has indicated that the material and equipment necessary to properly operate the press will be available within six months, and once the equipment becomes available it will be immediately installed and arrangements made to publish the paper. A representative of the Salem Express Publishing Company has stated that as soon as the premises are reddy for publication of a newspaper, the City of Salem will be notified and the rent as provided in the lease shall be paid. 1115.
