Francis e following Resolution which was adopted by Dolan Councillor Serafini introducedth a roll call vote of 10 Yeas and 1 Absent and approved by the Mayor on May 13, 1955: ill i� r 'll RESOLVED: Whereas on May 7, 1955 our brother H. Francis Dolan was taken from his family, friends and from the Council which he loved, and Ili I,l �llill Whereas the passing of one of Salem's great men ought to be appropriately I � noted by the official family of which he was so proud to be a member, it is therefore fitting that at this the end of his public service among the surroundings in which he spent so much of his life, that we take note of the man Dolan. ill lil II H. Francis Dolan from the beginning of his political career, shortly after the turn of the century until the time of his death while still a councillor, loved the City of Salem and all of its citizens. Her welfare, her problems, her future all were L'I;I his concern. Like all great men; he did not lack the touch of humility; he helped all who needed it be they of the highest station inlife or of the lowest. If their cause was right, he was their champion whatever the array against him. ll . He was a man always willing to held the younger men entering the political arena for the first time leading them along the slippery paths of parliamentary procedure with the skill that comes with knowledge. i _ He made no demands of his brother; he respected at all times an individual's point of view, but insisted rightfully that his own be respected. He believed in the dignity of man, and the responsibility which an elective office brings. He always believed that the people elected officials whom they can trust, in whom they have faith i and who are straightforward. He was called with reason "Watchdog of the Treasury". His financial acumen and understanding of the facts of municipal finance made his a constantly steadying hand on the fortunes of Salem down through the years. He was never given to any great oratorical ability but nevertheless in his silence he was more effective as a legislator and accomplished more for Salem than others who were more eloquent in speech. The measure of the man in public office many times cannot be accurately gauged until he has passed on and the public feeling as to the esteem in which they hold him makes itself evident. In the case of our Brother Councillor, two things are heard above all else. He was honest and his word was his bond. If after more than a quarter century of service those feelings could represent the public's esteem of all its elected officials, then our future is indeed safe. Now therefore be it resolved by the Salem City Council in session assembled that f this resolve be made a part of the official record of its meeting and that a copy thereof besent to the widow and family with our, deepest sympathy. y Councillor Sera£ini introduced the following Order which was adopted by a roll 420.

T Statement re: change Councillor Marquis made the following statement and wished that it be recorded in in zoning -Lafayette F St, full in the records. "Gentlemen of the Salem City Council, I wish at this time to have the Following statement to be part of the minutes and records of this meeting. To keep the record straight I wish at this time to state that sometime in 1951- 1952, I showed interest and was desirous of purchasing the lot in question from Mrs. Melvina L'Heureux, now deceased. At the time there was a difference in price between myself and the seller. The person that I was in conversation for the purchase of the II lot with Mrs. Eva Tondreau. Mrs. Melvina L'Heureux made her home with Mrs. Tondreau. I also spoke to Mr. Donat and Gerard L'Heureux sons of the now deceased Mrs. Melvina I� L'Heureux. As time went on Mrs. Melvina L�Heureux passed waxy, and her property was willed to her children. Finally, I was in conversation with Mr. Gerard L'Heuruex one of the heirs and the price that I was willing to pay was acceptable to him as well as to the living children. In the meantime whale all this was transpiring, and this goes back some two years ago, I engaged the services of an Architect. Rough plans were drawn so as Imay have an idea of the cost to construct a one story building to be used as offices. These plans were distributed to responsible" Contractors who in turn submitted their estimate of cost. The dimensions of the lot in question are 55 feet frontage and 92.5 in depth. The history of his lot is rather interesting. It has been vacant since the Salem Fire and that will be 41 years on this June 24. Since then it has not bee used. jAt present, that is, at this time of the year it is overgrown with wild trees and i, other vegatation matter. In the fall of the year and early spring it is notring more than a gathering place for any debris that night be loose in the vicinity. This particular lot could have been purchased and put to good use long before this time, but apparently the size of the lot would be of no benefit to anyone in its present '^n'°' • -s the c' a^tee - =rn• a r• . . was made sometime in December June 9-,t:195 _:.a. long before I acquired the lot. The Quitclaim Deed that passed possession of the lot from the LfHeureux to me carries fifteen signatures. These signatures are the signatures heirs of the L'Heureux estate. The Deed whereby Lilliane M. LeBlanc and Doris L. Riendeau where the appointed adminstratrixes reads as follows. "We, Lilliane M. LeBlanc of Salem Essex County, Commonwealth of Mass. and Doris L. Riendeau of Taunton, Bristol County, in said Commonwealth of Massachusetts, adminstratrixes of the Estate of Louis A. L'Heureux, late of Salem, intestate by power conferred by virtue of a license granted to us on the thirtieth day of March, 1955, by the Probate Court in and for the County of Essex in said Commonwealth of (See Essex i Probate #245,677) ." _ The date mentioned in the deed that the license being granted was March 30, 1955, I acquired said lot by virtue of purchase on April 15, 1955• Said Deed is recorded in Registry of Deeds Federal St., Book 4155 pages 588 and 589• Gentlemen, if permission is granted to carry this request through I can say at this i time that the building will be 1 story in height of either cement or cinder block con- struction with a stucco finish, and will be used for offices. One of these offices to be occupied for myself and the two other offices rented or leased to suitable tenants. It is not my desire to have any business in that building that would be a detriment to the neighborhood or to my business, and the construction will conform with the neighbor- hood and it is my belief that it will be of benefit to the area and relieve the neighbor hood of an eye sore that has been existing for the past 41 years." Eleven others appeared in favor. Councillor Poitras moved that the matter be referred to the Committee on Ordinances 502.

The following report relating to drainage at and near the Donnell and Mudge Co. Drainage at Donnell & on Canal Street and it was received and recorded. Mudge on Canal St. "Honorable City Council � City Hall Salem, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I. Pursuant to your request the committee composed of the City Engineer, Health Agent, and Superintendent of Streets, on September 19, made an investigation of the sewer line and catch basins on Canal Street in the areas adjacent to St. Paul Street, Ocean Avenue and 1 Forest Avenue. The committee visited the area and inspected the sewer line, and also the plant of Donnell and Mudge, which is adjacent thereto, feeling that if grease was getting into the sewer, this plant might be depositing same. The committee made a careful inspection of the plant, accompanied by Mr. Risteen of the Donnell and Mudge Company. It was found that this company had installed a still, for the extraction of grease, and j!had kept records of the barrels recovered by this process. Further, that the plant had a settling tank, which, on the day of inspection was filled., and was found to have heavy material in it. The amount, under the conditions, could not be accurately determined. The committee requested Mr. Risteen to notify tre members when the tank was to be cleaned, so that a further inspection could be made. The still was not in operation " on the day of inspection. The tank had been cleaned immediately after the day of inspection, so it is now necessary that the committee wait, and in about two weeks, make this inspection. Mr. Risteen has notified the committee that he will keep them informed of the cleaning process of the settling basin. In the meantime, Mr. Hever, has been cleaning the sewer line and catch basins in the area with the equipment now at his disposal. It is felt that a constant check of the catch basins and sewer line to determine, by chemical analysis, if necessary, the type of material entering the sewer in this area, I ' Will, in the near future, bring a solution to this problem.

Of those nine complaints, five of them are in no way concerned with the question of nuisance that had been alleged by the complaintant. Of the four other complaints concerned, the Police Department informs this Board that they could find nothing to substantiate the complaint.

Therefore, this Board finds that in all the evidence submitted to it that the business has been conducted in accordance withthe provisions of the law and the rules of this Board and that it can not curtail the business hours of the above mentioned establishmei t.
