81 The following opinion was received from City Solicitor, Albert R. Pitcoff, relativ
Opinion - Franchise
Granted to Cablevision to the franchise granted to Salem Cablevision.
Gentlemen:
A proposed Order of the City Council revoking the exclusive license or franchise which
was granted to Salem Cablevision Com. in December of 1967 has been referred to the
city solicitor for an opinion.
i
Prior to the enactment of chapter 1103 of the Acts of 1971, approved on November 16,
1971 and effective 90 days thereafter, there was no specific legislative authority
permitting cities and towns to authorize the installation of community antenna tele-
vision systems and providing for the regulation thereof. Nevertheless, in a few com-
munities in Massachusetts, the licensee or an affiliate succeeded in acquiring licenses
or franchises, according to my information 11 in number. Salem was one of these com-
munities, as the result of an order of the City Council on December 14, 1967 followed
by approval of the mayor.
Under the comprehensive enactment in 1971, which is now Chapter 166A of the General
Laws, a commission was to be established regulating the conditions of installation and
operation of CATV systems. The issuing authority in a city is the mayor, who is re-
quired to hold a public hearing after published or posted notice and who shall issue
a public statement in writing containing the reasons for acceptance or rejection of
any or all applications, which reasons shall relate to the information required to be
furnished relating to the citizenship and character of the applicant, and the financial
technical and other qualifications of the applicant to operate the system, and to
the principals and ultimate beneficial owners including stockholders both nominal and
beneficial, and complete information on the extend and quality of service and other
matters.
Because of the delay in the appointment of the members of the commission, in the fund-
ing of its operations, and in the establishment of the necessary procedures which /
ultimately will result in the promulgation of regulations by the commission, it was
requested by the commission that interested communities should for a period of months
refrain from taking action on applications for licenses. Such period has not yet
expired.
By section 20 (4) of the Act it was provided, by what is sometimes called a grandfather
clause, that nothing in the act or in the rules and regulations of the Commission shall
prevent any person who had already received a license or permit from continuing con-
i
- January 25, 1973
timing construction or operation in a community without applying for a license there-
under or paying an application fee.
It should be borne in mind that during the past twelve months, beginning in January of
j 1972, the licensee has communicated on various dates and its representatives have on
several occasions met with the mayor and the city solicitor in its continuing efforts
® to bring about recognition of its status as a licensee and of its right to have issued
to it at an early date a renewal license under the new statute. The mayor has taken
{
the position, with which I concur, that the time was not appropriate, particularly in
F
?, view of the commission's request for delay. Also, several complex legal questions
should first be resolved. The applicant was invited to furnish in the meantime informs
tion regarding the quality and effectiveness of the licensee's performance, as well as
in the matter of the degree of acceptance and satisfaction on the part of the users in
areas where installations have already been made. Some such information has already
been received by the mayor. I
It is the mayor's function by the existing law to act upon all such applications, and
he will continue to exercise this function both with respect to this particular appli-
cation and to others which may be made.
Until very recently, no substantial action was taken by the licensee to bring to the
city of Salem any of the supposed benefits which no doubt motivated the City Council to
grant the license by its order adopted December 14, 1967.
Our legal department has been engaged in a continuing study of the legality of the
procedures by which this license was granted.
I believe the purported license to be a nullity.
It appears in the records of the City Council that at a meeting on December 14, 1967,
following a report of the Committee of the Whole, recommending an Order "That an ex-
clusive license or franchise be granted to the Salem Cablevision Company, an affiliate
of Cablevision Corporation of America, a Massachusetts corporation, to install a Com-
munity Antenna Television system in the City of Salem, Massachusetts, and that the City
Council approves herewith the attached agreement subject to final approval of the Mayor"
adoption of the recommendation was voted (and subsequently approved by the mayor) by a
roll call vote of 9 yeas, 2 nays and 0 absent. Thereafter, the executed license agree-
ment was accepted by the licensee on January 10, 1968.
The validity of the purported license is in grave doubt, and I believe it to be vitally
affected, by reason of our charter provision in G.L. Ch. 43, Sec. 20. In this section
it is provided that "No ordinance making a grant, renewal or extension, whatever its
kind or nature, of any franchise or special privilege shall be passed as an emergency
measure, and. . . .no such grant, renewal or extension shall be made otherwise than by
ordinance."
Requirement of passage of an ordinance as distinguished from an order or resolution is
January.,25, ,1973.
r
often contained in a statute or charter, as are other requirements for publicly re-
corded votes, public notice, lapse of a specified number of days between introduction
and time of passage, as well as other restrictions. See McQuillin, Municipal Corpora-
tions, Section 34.28, and cases cited therein. See 36 Am. Jur. 2d, Franchises,
Section 15. Indeed, one of the classes of ordinances appearing in the classification
of ordinances in McQuillin, sec. 15.10, is "ordinances granting franchises, special )�
privileges, etc. , which may be termed franchise or contract ordinances".
The evident general purpose of conditions imposed upon the manner or the procedures
for granting franchises is to prevent municipal councils from giving away or selling
at an inadequate price, by hasty or private action, the rights and privileges belong-
ing to the citizens, and to compel the disposition of such valuable rights to be made
publicly and with deliberation.
And where a purported grant of a municipal franchise may be invalid because of a lack
of power or because of noncompliance with mandatory requirements as to procedures,
such a grant is generally held to be void and no rights by estoppel or otherwise are
thereby granted.
The differentiation between ordinances and orders is made plain by the following con-
siderations:
1. "Ordinance" is defined as "a vote or order of the city council entitled ordinance"
Ind desi ned for the permanent regulation of any matter within the jurisdiction of the
city council as laid down in this chapter. G.L. Ch. 43, City Charters, Sec. 1.
2. The enacting style of ordinances (except in cases of special emergency) shall be
"Be it ordained by the city council of the City of Salem, as follows: . . . ." Revised
Ordinances 1952, Ch. 2, Sec. 3.
3. All ordinances shall be referred to the committee on ordinances of the city council
This committee shall approve or disapprove in writing the legality of such ordinance
within 10 days after reference. Revised Ordinances 1952, Ch. 2, sec. 4.
4. Every ordinance shall be published and in accordance with the city charter and
shall be printed with the city documents of the year next subsequent to the date of its
adoption. Revised Ordinances 1952, Ch. 2, sec. 5.
5. No ordinance shall be passed finally on the date on which it is introduced.
(except in cases of emergency.) Revised Ordinances 1952, Ch. 2, sec. 20.
6. Every proposed ordinance shall be published once in full in a new�2a�er of the
at least 10 days before final passage, and again after final passage, Revised
Ordinances 1952, Ch. 2, sec. 23. See also Oleksak v. Westfield, 342 Mass. 50, 52.
7. In the Order of Business of the Rules and Orders of the City Council, the last
i
j order of business (#8) is entitled "Motions, orders and resolutions." Frequently,
elsewhere both in the council rules, in the ordinances, and in our statutes the word
( "order" is coupled with the word "resolution", except only in the matter of the mayor s
i�
'9+
January 25, 1973.
veto power, and in the statutory referendum procedure, I do not recall seeing the
word "order" coupled with the word "ordinance".
By all of the criteria mentioned above, the action of the City Council was not an
ordinance. At most, it was an order or resolution. Both in letter and in spirit, it
violated the law both of the basic charter and of the provisions of the city ordinances .
The purpose of the charter provision, and also of our ordinance provisions, was not
fulfilled. I am therefore of the opinion already expressed above, that the Council
action was a nullity.
To conclude, I am of the opinion that the license at this time is not to be challenged
by legislative action to be taken by the City Council. The issue of legality may
require decision by the courts. The central problem I have suggested will, I believe,
prove to be fatal to the claimed preferred status of the present licensee. Other
serious problems of a legal nature may be involved. I suggest that the only action
which might appropriately be taken by the City Council is to express by resolution
whatever its feelings may be regarding the inaction on the part of the licensee up to
now and the probable invalidity of the grant of the license as to which I have stated
my opinion.
It may perhaps be possible that the licensee may agree to a resolution of this matter
without court procedure. The licensee and its affiliates are no doubt well equipped
to provide CATV facilities to the people of Salem. Under the new statute, no issued
license is exclusive. The mayor is required to process all such applications as may
be made, in accordance with the governing statute. In addition, it may be thought to
be appropriate now to consider, as was suggested by Councillor McCabe in 1967, the
question of municipal operation of a CATV system. All of these considerations lead me
to the suggestion that the entire matter should continue to be the subject study,
perhaps for a considerable length of time, in order to provide eventually for the
people of the city of Salem the highest degree of performance which may be expected of
a CATV system.
Very truly yours,
Albert R. Pitcoff, City Solicitor

148 The following Veto was received from the Mayor.
Veto - Opposing Merger
Veterans' Services Gentlemen of the Council
I return herewith for your further consideration the matter of the "Resolution:
Opposing Merger of Veterans' Services and the Welfare Department of the Commonwealth."
It is the understanding of the Administration that the legislation which is the
subject of this Resolution provides for the state assumption of the total cost of ■►/�
Veterans' benefits in cities and towns. The projected of the Veterans' benefits in the
City of Salem for the fiscal year 1973 - 74 is Four Hundred Five Thousand Dollars
($405,000.00) .
As you are aware, under the existing formula the state assumes one-half of these
benefits. Should this legislation be enacted, the state would assume the remaining
one-half of Four Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($405,000.00) or Two Hundred Two Thousan
Five Hundred Dollars ($202,500.00) . This would represent an approximate Two Dollar
savings ($2.00) in the real estate tax rate.
I have discussed this with the proponent of this resolution, Councillor J. Michael
Ruane, and he has agreed to review this matter with the Council.
No action for seven days under the rules.

784 The following opinion of the City Solicitor relative to bidding procedures on
Solititor's Opinion
Bidding on Land on land on Mooney Road, was referred to the Committee on Public Property.
Mooney Road
Gentlemen of the Council:
With this letter I reploy to three written inquiries from the City Clerk, from
Councillor Richard B. O'Keefe, and from Councillor S. Steve Salvo, each addressed to
i
the question of the binding effect of a bidding procedure in which bids were received
at a meeting of the City Council on November 13, 1969.
I. The problem originated in the $2,000 offer of August 12, 1969, made by Ralph F.
Salvo by letter addressed to the City Council, to purchase city-owned land, 24,295
II square feet in area, on Mooney Road. The Building Inspector determined that the land
was no longer required for public purposes or other specific purpose. Delulis Brothers
Construction Co. , Inc. , developers of the surrounding area, wrote to the Mayor asking
for an opportunity to purchase the land, offering $2100. Mayor Collins submitted to
the City Council an order dated October 9, 1969, authorizing the sale to Delulis for a
sum not less than $2100.00.
On October 14, 1969, the City Clerk received a letter from Mr. Salvo, stating
that". I have reconsidered my last offer and wish to increase the amount substanti-
ally".all ". On November 13, 1969 sealed bids were received. Nevertheless, the record
indicates that the matter was laid on the table. There it has remained.
On February 21, 1970, Ralph S. Salvo wrote to the City Council offering $3,000 or
whatever an appraiser prices it for". No further action appears to have been taken
until July 1973 when at Mr. Salvo's expense an appraisal of $3,000 was made, which has
Am
now been transmitted to the City Council for its consideration. The continuing interes
of Mr. Salvo in purchasing this land has now been followed by the proposed Council
order which was transmitted to the City Council by the Mayor, and the matter which has
since 1969 been pending has been taken from the table.
II. Recitation of the foregoing facts leads to the necessity for inquiry into and
17-

analysis of the provisions of law governing the powers of the Mayor and of the City
Council respectively. I am greatly indebted to the City Clerk for his assistance in
searching for the records of the City of Salem pertinent to this matter. These dis-
close the following:
Our ordinances contain no provision regarding the sale of public property. Tradition-
ally, sales of public property have originated in orders submitted by the Mayor which
have led to authorization by the City Council for the conveyance of such property.
In 1963 there was added to Chapter 2 of the Revised Ordinances a new Section, 108A,
which provided for all such sales to be made at public auction under the authority of
the Superintendent of Public Property, following two published newspaper advertisements
prior to the sale. This ordinance was adopted by unanimous vote of the City Council
over the Mayor's veto.
On November 25, 1966, however, the City Council voted the repeal of this Ordinance, the
repeal becoming effective upon the Mayor's approval thereof on November 28, 1966.
In February 1969 an order was introduced relative to a proposed new ordinance covering
this subject; a proposed ordinance was referred to the committee of the whole, but no
further action seems to have been taken.
In January of 1970 a third effort was made to create a legal procedure regulating the
disposition of public auction by the Superintendent of Public Property, or a licensed
auctioneer duly authorized by him, following published advertisements, and with the
right to reject any and all bids. This proposed ordinance was adopted for first pass-
age on January 22, 1970. But on February 12, 1970 it was laid on the table, with
Councillor Richard B. O'Keefe recorded opposed, and there it has remained.
It is evident that the City Council has long been aware of a method by which a pro-
cedure can be provided by law which will be both effective and fair in the disposition
of public property which becomes available for disposition. The proposed ordinance
which was laid on the table on February 12, 1970 seems to present an admirable approach;
it could be taken from the table or a similar proposed ordinance introduced. A copy
of this ordinance is attached to this letter. In particular, the provision for sale
under the authority of the Superintendent of Public Property meets with my approval,
since it .would not offend the principal of separation of powers which would be violated
if such a sale should be conducted by the City Council.
The foregoing discussion requires me to express the following opinions with reference
to this entire matter:
(1) Since such an ordinance as I have discussed existed neither then nor now, the
Procedure followed by the applicants and by the City Council was not authorized by law.
ant
The City Council possessed no power, except upon the initiative of the Mayor as executiv
222
September 13, 1973
head of the city, to grant or to withhold the granting of authorization for sale of
public property. The entire procedure was a nullity. Questions relating to the seal-
ing or unsealing of bids become irrelevant. As to the wisdom of now reviving a dis-
pute which originated in 1969 and since then has lain dormant, this also becomes,
irrelevant. The fact is that in its entirety, the bidding procedure which began in
1969 must fail of implementation.
(2) The Mayor has under date of August 9, 1973 forwarded to the City Council for its
consideration, now referred to the Committee on public property, a proposed Council
order for the sale to Ralph S. Salvo of this piece of real estate for the price of
$3,000. There is of course no lack of power in the City Council to take action upon
this proposed order initiated by the Mayor.
(3) The Council or an appropriate committee such as is headed by Councillor Richard
B. O'Keefe is of course free to recommend appropriate legislation, not with reference
to the sale of this particular parcel, but to provide appropriate procedure which will
be applicable to sales of public property generally. It goes without saying that I
shall be pleased to be helpful in connection with theform and content of any such
proposed legislation. I do believe that if such legislation is considered, thought
should be given to adding a condition requiring the successful bidder to build or
otherwise use the purchased propertywithin a certain specified period; I am aware of
an incident in which such a procedure was followed and worked out very well, the con-
dition in that case having been imposed by the Mayor.
Very truly yours

PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing was held in the Council Chambers on Tuesday, December 11, 1973 at
8:00 P.M. on the matter of rezoning a section of Ward 7 from R-C and R-1 to R-3.
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Salem Evening News on November 26,
and December 6, 1973 and on the City Hall Bulletin Board on December 5, 1973 at 11 :30
A.M.
Present were Councillors Burke, Field, Hosman, Ingemi, McCabe, Nowak, J. O'Keefe,
Perron, Ruane and Salvo.
President Salvo presided.
Also present were Attorney Vallis, representing Salem Acres, Inc. , the petitioners
and a large gathering from Wards 7 and 4.
The Acting City Clerk read the petition with 63 signatures opposing the rezoning.
Attorney Vallis presented the Acting City Clerk with a communication withdrawing the
petition of Salem Acres as it applied in the original request, recommended by the
Planning Board, concerning Ward Four.
i
Attorney Vallis read a communication respectfully requesting the present Council
to refrain from acting on the proposal until the new Council is sorn in on January 7,
1974.
Appearing in favor of the rezoning was Attorney Vallis representing Salem Acres.
He said the change in the zoning ordinance did not mean that building would
begin immediately. Plans would have to be reviewed and presented to the Planning
Board and that the plans would have to be approved by the City Engineer and the Board
of Health. He stated that the wetlands would have to be treated and approved by the
Conservation and State Water Pollution Control Board and the Department of Natural
Resources. It would be at least 1' years after approval of the rezoning before ground
could be broken.
He began to say what the impact of this plan would be on the city when the people
in the corridors complained that they could not hear and could not see the maps and
charts.
At 8:30 P.M. President Salvo declared that the public hearing would be transferred
to Town Hall to allow all people a chance to hear and be heard.
The Public Hearing reconvened at 8:40 P.M. at Town Hall.
Attorney Vallis said he thought the transfer of place of public hearing was
illegal. President Salvo stated he had requested the opinion of the Assistant City
Solicitor who said it was the perogative of the President. President Salvo said the
change of place was for the convenience of over 200 people attending and that the
hearing should continue.
Attorney Vallis said the original plan presented to the Planning Board concerned
z�s
December 11, 1973
forty acres. The Planning Board's recommendation to the City Council concerned twenty
acres. His modified plan he was presenting tonight concerned forty acres, but only
sixteen acres would be rezoned for R-3. The minimum lot size would be 3400 square
feet and maximum height of buildings would be 2z stories. No unit would have more
than two bedrooms. He said that Salem Acres would deed the surrounding land to a stra
Iwith a covenant that no building could be built for fifty years. He stated that the
drainage and sewerage was not adequate at this time, he knew problems existed but
that the City was searching for state and federal funds to correct same.
The development of this land would have an impact on taxes, utilities, traffic an
the esthetic character of the area. They planned to drain and treat the wetlands and
build a pond.
He stated that condiminiums were not conducive to large families as there are
only two bedrooms but building single family dwellings could mean that there would be
a ratio- of about 2k children which coulc bring approximately 150 children at a cost
to the city of $150,000.00. He suggested to compare that with a 200 unit condiminium
with about 20 to 40 children at the most cost to the City from $20,000.00 to $40,000.00
He said the condiminiums would net about $300,000.00 a year in revenue. The owners
of the condiminiums would pay to keep up the roads inside the perimeter of the develop-
ment at no cost to the City.
Also appearing in favor was Mr. Robert I. Kerr II, an Architect, who has a place
of business at 13 Central Street. He spoke about his keeping conservation in mind
when he planned for the development. He described the use of the land, the parking
area and the flow of traffic. Mr. Kerr began to describe the condiminiums and the
people objected. President Salvo told him that it had nothing to do with rezoning.
President Salvo then called for those opposing the rezoning.
Councillor Hosman questioned the legality of the meeting. He referred to the
letter introduced by Attorney Vallis saying the rezoning should be held over to the
y next Council in 1974. He said it should be acted on by this Committee and when brought
to the full Council, it should be defeated. He said the original recommendation of
the Planning Board was referred to the Committee on Regional Planning in 1971 and at
the last minute in 1973 it was being rushed through illegally. He wanted to know why.
Appearing in opposition was Mr. George Gauthier, 5 Marlborough Road. He said
this rezoning was profitable to the DiBiasses, Ward Four was being stepped on and he
joined Ward Seven in opposing this plan. He said that the DiBiasses knew the land was
zoned for R-1 and R-C when they bought it.
Oppsoing also was Mr. James R. Michaud, 7 Marion Road. He said he lives in one
of Mr. DiBiasse's homes and he doesn't keep his promises.
Opposing was Mr. Michael Pietkewicz, 76 Su,mer Road.

December 11, 1973.-_ _._ .
Speaking in opposition Was Councillor-elect Peter P. Bouley. He asked Attorney
Vallis if he intended to extend the development. Attorney Vallis said yeas, if the
people thought it worthwhile.
Opposing was Mr. John Whelton, 10 Surrey Road.
Mr. William Russell Burns, representing Historic Salem, read a communication in
opposition of the Salem Acres' Plan. He called what is going on in Salem with the
S
high rise building "municipal pornography".
Mary Pelletier, Scenic Avenue, suggested that no decisions be made until the
Conservation Commission submitted its master plan for the City. She said just one
shovel can spoil the water table.
Mr. Neal P. Rosen, 16 Marion Road said the traffic on his street would be doubled.
He said all Salem Acres ' promises were oral and didn't mean a thing.
Mr. David Devoe 2 Cloverdale Avenue, was opposed.
Marie Whitmore, 4 Auburn Road read a statement that Attorney Vallis represented
Salem Acres Inc. , owned by the DiBiasses who don't live in Salem. The Councillors are
elected by the people and represent them, not Salem Acres Inc. When Salem Acres Inc.
gets through building up all available land they'll move on, but he people will still
be here and voting.
Also appearing in opposition were Nick Lord of Moffatt Road, George Theriault,
2 Marion Road, Paul Bosse, 59 Moffatt Road, Linda Aucone, 2 Hayes Rd. and Domenic
Ingemi, 8 Scenic Avenue.
The President declared after a hand vote that there were 23 people from Ward 4
appearing in opposition and about 120 from Ward 7 in opposition.
Donald Hunt, Chairman of the Conservation, spoke about open spaces and recreation.
He said he was no opposing the plan per se but, he couldn' t make a logical judgment on
this area until after the South River Flood Control Project is completed.
The hearing was closed.
Councillor Burke moved that the meeting adjourn. It was so voted.
Public hearing adjourned at 10:28 P.M.

unanimous roll call vote.
RESOLVED: That the City Council of Salem shares, with unfeigned sensibility the pro-
found grief of the entire community upon the passing of our departed colleague,
Richard B. O'Keefe.
It was easy, in the first glance of knowing and working with "Mike" O'Keefe to discover
beautiful and attractive qualities. His good nature was unaffected and boundless.
As a public servant, he felt that there was an area in which God had given him a special
charisma, a talent for meeting and communicating with people---the human touch! --
Alont with his wit and warmth, he had a deep feeling for the things that really matter
in lifetime. His family, his church, his community and fellow-men. At the risk of
clich"u, it must be said that "Mike" O'Keefe was a man of principle. His honesty and
fairness were proverbial, and his conscientious loyalty to his own convictions of right
and duty, were undisputed. He had the ability to project the image of a deeply serious
man who in no way would compromise on an issue involving principle. Fellow colleagues
as well as citizens easily came to him for solutions to their problems. They found
him not only accessible and understanding, but possessing the genuine sympathy that is
scarcely seen in people today. Along with his uncanny ability to lift a person up, he
as blessed with a wisdom and good judgment that enabled him to give direction and
advice to the many who were confronted by the woes and crises in their lives.
Long after the words spoken here have been forgotten, yes, long after the memory of
"Mike" O'Keefe has grown dim, his influence on the countless hearts he touched will
I ® ontinue to flourish and inspire. Proof of this was his devotion and dedication to the
outh of our city, from a Little League beginning, to the Pony League and High School
tatus, and to the field of higher education in his association and vital role in Salem
tate College.
aving measured him by the qualities of his mind and heart, his star was of a giant
gnitude. And because of his intense pride enveloping his natural heritage, let us
lose with a familiar Irish Blessing:

"WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!"
Therefore, be it resolved that this resolution be adopted at this regular meeting of
the City Council, held December 13, 1973, and that it be permanently inscribed in the
council records of the City of Salem and that a copy thereof be forwarded to the
family of our departed colleague.

Veto - Negotiations
Gentlemen of the Council: Leases, etc re Winter
Island
I return to you herewith, DISAPPROVED, the attached order adopted by the City
Council on January 24, 1974, and presented to me for approval on January 28, 1974.
It has been and is my continuing intention that in all matters relating to the
disposition of property owned or used by the city the assent or approval both of the
Mayor and of the City Council be required.
` Any proposal to diminish the lawful powers of either the Mayor or of the City
Council should and will continue to meet with my disapproval.
Determination of the uses of Winter Island, both temporary and permanent, must
take into consideration also the recommendations to result from ongoing studies on the
part of the study commission as well as the provisions of the instrument by which the'
city now holds title.
II
February 14, 1974
We must bear in mind that in connection with the additional power plant project
the beginning of which is now in progress, application is being made for temporary
uses of Winter Island during the construction period with guarantees of restoration of
the island to our satisfaction upon the completion of the construction. I will soon
forward to the City Council for our joint consideration the draft of an instrument
granting permissive temporary use of the island for designated purposes during the /
construction period.
The order in question is, I am advised, not suitable either in form or in content
having in mind the proper and legitimate powers both of the Mayor as the administrative
head and of the City Council as the legislative authority of the city.
For these reasons, the order is DISAPPROVED.
It is not necessary that this or any other property be placed in the Public
`) Property Committee of the Council in order for studies to be made by that committee
I
of all available recommendations and ideas. I expect that this committee as well as
any other appropriate committee will continue to study any and all available recommen-
dations and ideas regarding the ultimate use of Winter Island, and I assure you that
all suggestions will be given the most careful consideration.
Very truly yours
S/ Jean A. Levesque, Mayor

Gentlemen of the Council: Veto - Accept Ch.41,Sec
108-I Police assigned
I return to you herewith DISAPPROVED the order of the City Council accepting the Photographic Work
provisions of General Laws Chapter 41, Section 108-I which would require salary in-
creases of Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) with regard to certain specialists in the
35�
April 25, 1974
Police Department.
Our Salary and Classification Ordinance, which in each year recently has required
annual revisions provides an annual salary for the specialized positions of photo-
grapher or investigator - fingerprint technician which is larger by Five Hundred
Dollars ($500.00) than the salaries which are provided for patrolmen.
Acceptance of this section is therefore in our case not needed in order to pro- It
vide the additional compensation afforded by this statute.
Additional problems created by acceptance will include not only that of the
more than double payment now provided by ordinance but also possible incompatibility
with collective bargaining or with civil service procedures or with statutes creating
benefits resulting from certain educational or training qualifications. Tangential
problems relating to collective bargaining involving personnel in the fire department
may be involved also.
Acceptance of statutes is exceedingly difficult to undo--in most cases impassible
The result is better achieved in our case by the flexibility available to the City
Council by ordinance procedure. I believe acceptance of this particular statute
would be unwise.
Very truly yours
S/ Jean A. Levesque, Mayor

I return to you herewith DISAPPROVED the enclosed order relating to an appropria-

The reason for my disapproval is that no details are included in the order relat-

nel which would be required in order to make use of such an open-end appropriation.
It is my suggestion that more definite plans should be made for the use of such
funds before any appropriating order can be submitted for implementation of the ordin-
ance.

606 The following veto was received from the Mayor.
Veto - Chap. 48,Sec.
58-E Residential Gentlemen of the Council:
Limits-Firefighters
I return to you herewith DISAPPROVED Council Order #45 relative to accepting
Chapter 48, Section 58E relating to residential limits of firefighters with five
years service in the department.
It has been the policy of this Administration as well as of previous Administra-
tions to give as much priority as possible to the needs for employment of residents
i
of the community. In my opinion, it is not in the interest of this policy nor of the
i
citizens of Salem to accept this particular statute.
I hope that we shall continue to serve the needs of our residents by preserving
I
to the maximum extent the possibility of employment by the City of Salem to persons
resident in the community.
Very truly yours
s/ Jean A. Levesque, Mayor.
No action for 7 days under the rules.
607 The following veto was received from the Mayor.
Veto - Ord, amending
Residential Density Dear Mr. Toomey:
Regulations
I return to you herewith, DISAPPROVED, the ordinance No. 419 relating to the
residential density in R-2 and R-3 Districts.
I The reasons for my disapproval are as follows:
jWhen this ordinance was originally introduced, it was proposed and so advertised that
it would have exempted from its provisions the erection of housing for the elderly to
a height greater than the five story maximum which is the thrust of this particular
ordinance.
The reasons for the later disappearance from the proposed ordinance of this exemption
are not apparent. No information has been furnished to me as to whether its dis-
,
_ .-423
July 11, 1974
appearance was intentional or inadvertent.
Having in mind the intense interest this administration has shown and in which my
predecessor has shown in providing housing for elderly persons in this community, it is
my feeling that the matter of preserving the opportunity for a larger number of units
available for the elderly should be given serious consideration before such an ordinanc
should take effect.
This leads me to the second reason for expressing my disapproval. I have searched in
vain for a positive recommendation from the Planning Board in connection with its
recommendatory function which is required as a prerequisite for amendment of zoning
ordinances.
I do not find any such positive recommendation, nor indeed do I find any stated reasons
displaying the necessity for this particular ordinance.
I consider that the amendment of zoning ordinances is a most important function, re-
quiring serious consideration both on the part of the Planning Board and of the City
Council, this being the intent of the legislative provisions governing the enactment
and amendment regulations.
It is my hope that the matter of an amendment such as this will, before final enactment,
receive the serious and thoughtful consideration which such a matter deserves.
I would support this ordinance if your body would agree with the two conditions set
forth above.
Very truly yours
s/ Jean A. Levesque, Mayor.

Attorney Vallis appeared for the petitioners, Salem Acres Realty.
Atty. Vallis posted a map to show the area to be rezoned and which was recommnende
to the City Council by the Planning Board.
At a hearing held on December 11, 1973 a plan for two hundred condiminiums on
sixteen acres of land was presented,
on February 12, 1974 a plan was filed with the Planning Board for sewer and
drainage for two hundred and sixty single homes. The Planning Board held a public
hearing on this matter on May 2, 1974.
The City Council made a survey with the School Department, Electrical Department,
Engineering and Street Departments relative to the potential cost of the development
of condiminiums vs. the cost to the City of single homes. The following is the
impact on public sectors.
i
Two hundred and ten single family units would have approximately three hundred
and ten children of school age and would necessitate seven additional classrooms and
teachers at a cost of $372,000.00. The revenue from these single family homes would J
be approximately $315,000.00 or about $1,500 a unit. The additional cost to the
City for streets would be $34,000.00 and to the Health Department $30,000.00.
t Four hundred and ninety units of luxury condominiums would have about thirty
I
school age children and would not necessitate additional classrooms or teachers. The
cost to the School Department would be $36,000.00 and the revenue from the condiminiums
fwould be $539,000.00 or $1,100 a unit. There would be no cost for streets or to the
Health Department. Atty. Vallis submitted the following covenant for consideration.

The following Veto was received from the Mayor. 750
Veto - Divide Adver-
tising Local Papers
I return to you herewith, DISAPPROVED, the order with regard to the division of
advertising equally among local papers.
The reasons for my disapproval are as follows:
IIt is self evident that the money spent on advertising by the City of Salem should
be distributed so as to give most effective notice. At this time I feel that the Salem
News, an established organ of the press with a readership far in excess of any other
Salem newspaper, is the only Salem publication which is capable of giving maximum
mileage for each advertising dollar.
The wording of the order creates even greater potential problems as far as the
effective use of the taxpayers' dollars. According to the order, if city advertising
funds went 50% to the Salem News, and 50% to the Salem Gazette, and someone published
a one sheet neighborhood newsletter with a circulation of 20, that one sheet newsletter
would be entitled to 33% of the city's advertising dollars. Such division of the city's
advertising dollars is of course out of the question, yet such would be the effect of
this order.
As it is the role of the mayor to appropriate funds for the advertising requirement
of the City of Salem, I hope that the Council will respect the concern with which I
have assessed the order, and not override my veto. It is my firm conviction that this
order is not in the best interests of the citizens of Salem.
No action for 7 days under the rules, s/ Mayor Jean A. Levesque

814 A communication was received from the Mayor relative to appointing a three
Opinion of Solicitor
Investigative Com. member Council Committee to investigate highrise housing. Enclosed was submitted an
opinion of the City Solicitor request by the Mayor in regard to this matter.
Dear Mayor Levesque:
You have asked me to render a legal opinion regarding a certain order passed by
the City Council on September 12, 1974 in regard to the appointment of a three member
council committee to investigate the situation of "high-rise housing" in the City of
Salem.
I have examined the order of September 12, 1974, as you have requested. The order
is made up of four parts, each of which deals with specific areas.
The first part of said order which established the committee is as follows:
"That the Council President appoint a three (3) member select council committee to
investigate all the circumstances and pertinent facts surrounding the construction of
high rise housing in the City of Salem within the last five (5) years."
It would appear from the statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as well as
the Charter of the City of Salem, Code of Ordinances and Rules and Orders of the City
Council that the President of the City Council has the power to appoint members of
committees created by order of the City Council to legitimately carry out the functions:
of that body. Section 59 of the Salem City Charter vests the City Council with all
legislative powers, and Section 18 of the Charter provides in part that:
"The City Council shall, from time to time, establish rules for its proceedings."
Section 31 of the Rules and Orders of the City Council states that:
"All committees shall be appointed by the President, unless otherwise provided." •�/
Presuming that the creation of the select committee referred to in the order
looks towards fact-finding conclusions that may assist the City Council in exercising
legislative or other proper functions the creation of the committee would be within th
power of the City Council.
481
— September 26, 1974
In any case, the Mayor does not have jurisdiction over decisions of the City
Council to establish their own committees and such determinations are solely within the
jurisdiction of the Council itself, and the Mayor should neither approve nor disapprove
them.
The second portion of said order reads as follows :
"AND FURTHER ORDERED: That all City Departments, Boards, Commissions, Agencies,
Officials and Employees cooperate with the Committee."
The Ordinances of the City of Salem in section 2-127 thereof encompass the con-
cept of cooperation with the City Council by City Departments. Regardless of said
section of the Ordinances, it is apparent that all arms of the City Government should
cooperate with the City Council in the exercising of the Council's proper functions.
The third portion of said order reads as follows:
"AND FURTHER ORDERED: That the Committee be authorized to retain investigators
and counsel, if necessary, to assist in its invetigation."
The question of the obtaining of assistance by the committee again relates to the
proper exercise of the functions of the City Council. If the Committee is proceeding
in accordance with the rights and duties vested in the City Council it is entitled to
avail itself of any assistance offered to it which helps accomplish its purpose. The
only question that might at some further time be properly before the Mayor and only if
presented, will be if funds are required to pay. for such assistance to the Council.
In this regard, section 2-17 of the Salem City Ordinances provides in part that:
"No money shall be paid out of the City Treasury, except upon the written order
of the Mayor. . . . . . . ."
The fourth portion of said order reads as follows:
AND FURTHER ORDERED: That the Committee be authorized to issue subpoenas, if
necessary, to compel officials and employees to appear before it to assist in the
investigatiom."
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 233, Section 8 provides in part that:
"Witnesses may be summoned to attend and testify and to produce books and papers
at a hearing before a City Council, or before a joint or special committee of the same.'
The right to subpoena set forth in Section 8 can be enforced only in accordance
with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 233, Section 10 and the Council cannot itself
enforce the subpoena.
Section 10 reads as follows:
"A justice of the supreme judicial or the superior court, upon application of a
tribunal authorized to summon but not to compel the attendance of witnesses and the
giving of testimony before it, may, in his discretion, compel the attendance of such
witnesses and the giving of testimony before any such tribunal, in the same manner and
i
i
4fl�
September 26, 1974.
to the same extent as before said court."
In interpreting this statute and the power of the subpoena as used by a City
Council, the Supreme Judicial Court has said:
"The city council is not a legislature. It has no power to make laws but merely
to pass ordinances upon such local matters as the Legislature may commit to its charge,
and subject to the paramount control of the Legislature. Neither branch of the city
council is a court, or, in accurate use of language, vested with any judicial
functions whatever. Nor are its members chosen with any view to their fitness for
the exercise of such functions. To allow such a body to punish summarily by imprison-
ment the refusal to answer any inquiry which the whole body, or one of its committees,
may choose to make, would be a most dangerous invasion of the rights and liberties of
the citizen." 120 Mass. 118 Whitcomb's Case.
In a more recent case decided in 1973 the Court similarly held that there was no
inherent power of enforcement and furthermore the Judge when presented with such
subpoena for enforcement under Section 10 should exercise his discreation when issuing
the order to enforce.
i "Any person summoned by the commission may assert the same rights that a person
I
may assert in response to any subpoena. If a person who has been summoned refuses
to testify, the commission has no inherent power of enforcement, but it may seek a
court order under G.L. c.233, sec. 10.
At a hearing on such an order, the defendant may assert a variety of arguments
designed to pursuade the court that as a matter of law or in its discretion no order
should be issued. For example, a defendant may challenge the jurisdiction of the
commission in the particular circumstances of his case. Additionally, the defendant
may argue that his substantive rights in some pending or threatened litigation or
agency hearing will be unfairly interfered with by requiring his attendance and his
testimony. In any event, whther to issue an order compelling a witness to appear and
testify is discretionary with the judge." 293 N.E.2d, 268 Bloom v. City of Worceste
Therefore, it would appear that the City Council or a committee properly set up
by the Council has the right to summon witnesses and records before it as to matters
within its authority. The question of issuance of such subpoena is again a matter
of discretion to be exercised by the City Council itself and does not require the
approval or authorization of the Mayor.
Having considered the order of September 12, 1974 referring to the appointment
of a three member committee to investigate high rise housing, it is my legal con-
clusion that all parts of the order are matters within the sole discretion and juris-
diction of the City Council itself and not matters requiring any action on the part of
the Mayor, either as to approval or disapproval.
Respectfully yours

The following opinion was received from the City Solicitor. 907
Opinion re zoning
Gentlemen of the Council: changes re height &
density regulations
My opinion has been requested by order of the City Council dated September 26,
1974 relative to proposed zoning changes on height limitations and density limitations
in R-2 and R-3 Districts. I have examined the two ordinances in question and it is my
opinion that both ordinances, if properly passed in accordance with the Salem Zoning
Ordinance and M.G.L. Chapter 40-A, are within the proper exercise of zoning powers
possessed by the City of Salem. Both density and height have long been recognized
as areas of legitimate concern and areas that are the proper subject of zoning regula-
tions.
The Salem Zoning Ordinance provides in Section IX, thereof Paragraph F, the method
for Amendments.
It states that amendments will be proper if the Planning Board gives appropriate
public notice and holds a public hearing according to M.G.L. Chapter 40A. It also
requires that the Planning Board submit a final report with recommendations to the City
Council or have 20 days to elapse without a submission of such a report. Furthermore,
it requires appropriate notice and a public hearing held by the City Council again
according to M.G.L. Chapter 40-A. The City Council may "adopt, reject, or amend and
adopt" such proposed Amendments provided that the City Council acts within 90 days of
its hearing and provided that there is a favorable vote of two-thirds of the membership
of the City Council.
M.G.L. Chapter 40A Section 6 provides similarly for a hearing by the Planning
Board with public notice and a hearing by the City Council with public notice. The
notice specified in the statute requires publication once in each of two successive
weeks with the first publication not less than 14 days before the date of the hearing.
The Planning Board must file a final report with recommendations to the City Council
within 20 days as specified in Salem Zoning Ordinance and the City Council must act
within 90 days of its hearing.
Therefore, given compliance with M.G.L. Chapter 40-A and the Salem Zoning
Ordinance, the two ordinances in question when finally passed will become effective and

928 The following Veto was received from the Mayor.
Veto-Meet with Solic.
Conflict-positions Gentlemen of the Council:
I hereby return your order entitled "Committee of Whole Meet with Solicitor re:
Conflict in Positions" dated October 10, 1974, DISAPPROVED.
In the first place, Mr. Tinti is no longer general counsel of the Southern Essex
Solid Waste Council as erroneously stated in the order. In fact, Mr. Tinti requested
to withdraw from that position as soon as he decided to accept the position of the City
Solicitor and even prior to being sworn in. I have attached to this letter the
correspondence from Mr. Tinti to the Council tendering his resignation and the
response from the Council accepting with regret his resignation all prior to the date
of the Council order. If the Councillors involved had tendered the common courtesy
of a telephone call to this office or to the City Solicitor's Office this information
would have been readily available to them.
Secondly, Mr. Tinti has remained as Chairman of the Redevelopment Authority at
my specific request and at the overwhelming urging of his fellow members on that
Authority. At the present time, the Urban Renewal Program is going through a period
of particular trial as the economy of the country adversely affects the availability
of money as the Federal Government switches to a new set of programs on community
development and as the largest segment of the project, the new retail component under
the parking garage and the New Essex House is finalized. It was my judgment that
despite a severe personal sacrifice on the part of Mr. Tinti that he could not be
spared from the Urban Renewal Program at this time.
I would remind the Council that the members of the Redevelopment Authority receive
no compensation for their labors and put in great commitments of time and effort. In
order to convince Mr. Tinti that he should remain as Chairman of the Recevelopment
Authority, I requested an opinion from City Solicitor Albert R. Pitcoff as to any
conflicts between the position of City Solicitor and Chairman of the Redevelopment
Authority. I have enclosed a copy of that opinion which concludes that no such
conflict exists.
It is my hope that Mr. Tinti will remain with the Urban Renewal Project at least
until such time as the present crisis is surmounted, and I have so informed him.

Gentlemen:of the Council: Veto-Sodium Vapor Lts.
I hereby return you order entitled "Electrician request funds sodium vapor lights -
Bridge Street" dated October 10, 1974, DISAPPROVED.
The City Electrician who is a gentleman of great competence and knowledge in his
field has an operational budget out of which he must satisfy all the requirements of
the City of Salem as they relate to street lighting and other areas.
Certainly the City Electrician is the person charged with the responsibility of
determining how those funds from his budget should be allocated. New lights on Bridge
Street may mean inadequate lights on Essex Street, Loring Avenue, or Highland Avenue.
As is stated in Section 11-24 of our City Ordinances, the City Electrician subject
to the direction of the Mayor has general charge of the lighting of streets. I am sure
that the City Council does not wish to usurp the duties of the City Elec trician or any
other department head and order them to spend money on one project and therefore not
on another that may have a more urgent need.
Such a decision should properly be made by the department head, in the exercise of
the duties of his office and not forced under order of the City Council.
Very truly yours

Vetd-Order-St. Supt.
entlemen of the Council: Order N.E. Tel.-repave
Portion of Essex St.
I hereby return your order entitled "Street Superintendent Order New England
elephone Company to repave portion of Essex Street" dated October 10, 1974, DISAPPROVED
In my opinion, this order has no force and effect.
As the Council must be aware, the Superintendent of Streets does not control the
ew England Telephone Company and there is no way the Superintendent can demand and orde
that the Telephone Company pave the streets of this City.
This order states that the "patch-work just completed is horrendous". If there
re problems with the conditions of streets there is a sensible method of seeking a
emedy. The Superintendent of Streets, I am sure, will respond to any complaints by
ouncillors or citizens and once the facts have been ascertained will move to correct
he problem.

Veto-Salem Residents
First re Employment Gentlemen of the Council:
I hereby return your order entitled "City Departments adhere to Salem Residents
first re: Employment" dated October 10, 1974, DISAPPROVED.
Anyone who has for long been associated with government is aware that there are a
multitude of restrictions that range from provisions of the Federal and State Con-
stitutions to statutes and regulations that affect a city's employment practices.
Many of these restrictions, over city action in employment, cover the area of
discrimination against individuals on grounds such as non-residency.
This order would have the effect of putting the city and all its departments in
possible violation of Federal and State laws and might lead to law suits with substan-
tial damages to the City and its taxpayers.
Before an action is taken by the City Council, especially in an area that is well
known to contain legal dangers, the Councillors involved should consult with the Legal
Department of the City as well as the appropriate agencies of the State and Federal
Governments and others so that the order is the result of thoughtful and thorough
efforts and the dangers to the City of the Council action are considered ahead of time.
Very truly yours
Jean A. Levesque, Mayor

An Ordinance relating to the creation, classification and salary schedule of the

Section 1. The position of Clerk of the Licensing Board is hereby created in the City

984 The following communication from the Mayor relative to the appointment of an Ad
Mayor re Ad Hoc Com.
on Appointments Hoc Committee for Candidates appointed to fill vacancies on various Board," was receive
( �
and filed. n
Gentlemen of the Council:
I return to you neither approved nor disapproved Council Order #26 which orders
the "Council President to Appoint a Three Man Ad Hoc Committee for Candidates Appointed I
4
to Fill Vacancies on Various Boards."
i
The question of approval by the City Council of mayoral appointments is a power
I
vested in the Council by law and ordinance. The method by which the Council wishes to
exercise this power is solely a matter of their own rules and regulations. As I am
sure the Council is aware, the City Council rules and ordinances provide in both
Section 29 and 29A a procedure for the approval of such appointments. If the Council
chooses to amend those rules it is perfectly capable of doing so.
I feel it is incumbent on me to point out that these individual citizens of Salem,
many of whom serve without any compensation, have agreed to sacrifice their own time
I
and energy for the city. Also, there are many laws governing the boards and authoritie
of the city which require a certain number of voting members present at meetings, and
since many of the names proposed are to replace members whose vacancies have already
i
occurred, I ask that the Council act expeditiously in deciding upon these appointments.
To do otherwise might delay necessary actions of the various boards or authorities.
Very truly yours,
Jean A. Levesque, Mayor.

Opinion re Peabody's
drawal of the City of Peabody from the North Shore Regional Vocational School District. Withdrawal from N.S.
Regional Vocational
November 4, 1974 School District
Dear Mr. Toomey:
In regard to the request of the City of Peabody to withdraw from the North Shore
Regional Vocational School District and the Amendment which would permit such with-
drawal, I have examined all the pertinent letters and papers.
On January 15, 1974, the City Clerk of the City of Peabody formally notified the
the District Committee of the desire of the City of Peabody to withdraw from that
District in accordance with the Agreement establishing the District. A copy of that
notice was forwarded to the City Clerk of the City of Salem. On January 24, 1974 the
\L City Council of the City of Salem referred the notice to its Committee on Rules and
voted to appraise Mr. Robert Ruscio, the representative of Salem to the district, of
the notice. On January 29, 1974, Mr. Ruscio responded to the notice by informing the
City Clerk of Salem that in his opinion, Peabody should be allowed to withdraw. On
February 28, 1974, the City Council of the City of Salem, on the recommendation of its
548
November 14, 1974 ,
Committee on Rules voted to accept the report and voted to adopt the recommendation
approving the withdrawal of the City of Peabody.
On March 25, 1974, the City Clerk of the City of Salem received a communication
from Mr. W. Clark Goodchild, Secretary of the North Shore Regional Vocational School
District which enclosed a proposed Amendment to legally accomplish the withdrawal of
the City of Peabody. This proposed Amendment was signed by the Chairman of the North
Shore Regional Vocation School District Committee and showed acceptance by that Com-
mittee of the Amendment on March 21, 1974. The City Council of the City of Salem, on
March 28, 1974, voted to refer the proposed Amendment to the City Solicitor for "an
opinion as to the effect of the Amendment on the City of Peabody". As of the present
time I am informed the City Council has taken no formal action on the proposed Amend-
ment.
The legal ability of the City of Peabody or any other city or town to withdraw
from the North Shore Regional Vocational School District is governed by the Agreement
which established the District. Withdrawal cannot be accomplished except in compliance
with the terms of the Agreement and this is set forth in the first letter of the City o
Peabody of January 21, 1974 which requests withdrawal "in accordance with Sections 7.1,
7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 of Part VII of said Agreement".
I
iPar VII of the Agreement sets out the method by which withdrawal can be accom-
plished and the legal responsibility of each community upon withdrawal. Section 7.2
� of the Agreement entitled "Procedure" provides that upon notification to the North
j Shore Regional Vocation School District Committee of a municipality's desire to with-
draw, the Committee shall draw up the necessary Amendment to the original Agreement
"setting forth such terms of withdrawal as it deems advisable". Section 7.2 of the
Agreement then goes on to provide that the Amendment once drafted shall be forwarded
to each city and town for acceptance.
Therefore, it is my opinion that the original vote of the City Council of the City
of Salem taken on February 28, 1974 to allow the City of Peabody to withdraw from the
District did not have the legal affect of permitting withdrawal since the City Council
did not then have before it the necessary Amendment to act upon. At most, the action
of the City Council taken on February 28, 1974 can only be termed an expression of
proposed intent and is in no way binding on the City of Salem, the City of Peabody, or
i
the District.
The proposed Amendment as finally submitted to the Salem City Council sets out the
` following as a time limitation on the ability of a community to accept or reject the
I
Amendment:
"Any attempted acceptance by a municipality after June 30, 1975 shall be void and
i
i
549
November 14, 1974.
of no effect."
The logical interpretation of this provision is that some communities may have
until June 30, 1975 to accept the proposed Amendment. As quoted above, the pro-
cedure section of the District Agreement, Section 7.2 states that an Amendment will
be drawn as "deemed advisable" by the committee and that discretion may include setting
a time for acceptance or rejection.
The letter of Mr. Goodchild, Secretary of the North Shore Regional Vocational
School Committee dated March 25, 1974 quotes Section 7.2 of the District Agreement as
requiring a vote of the City Council with 60 days following the receipt of the pro-
posed Amendment. Nevertheless, the limitation on time called for in this Section and
stated in Mr. Goodchild's letter may be superceeded by the time limit encompassed in
the Amendment itself.
The proposed Amendment in Section 2, states that acceptance can only be by com-
pliance with the provisions of Section 7.2 of the District Agreement and Section 5 of
the Amendment repeats that acceptance must be in accordance with Section 7.2,
I understand that legal action may soon be taken by the City of Peabody to
clarify the proposed Amendment including the question of the time within which cities
and towns may act on its acceptance.
The effect of the Amendment on the City of Peabody, once adopted, is that Pea-
body's obligations under the original Agreement shall be terminated with the exception
of its unpaid share of the budget of the school district certified for the period end-
ing June 30, 1975 with the proviso that if, as of the effectual date of the Amendment,
no Peabody student is enrolled in the North Shore Regional Vocational Program a total
credit of $39,481.00 may be made against its unpaid share of the budget. It further
provides that Peabody's obligation towards any long term debts shall terminate on
June 30, 1975. The provisions of the proposed Amendment should be compared with Part
VII of the District Agreement as to the difference between Peabody's obligation after
withdrawal as anticipated in the original Agreement and Peabody's obligation as set
forth in the Amendment.
I have enclosed copies of all letters and material referred to in this letter.
Yours sincerely
William J. Tinti,
City Solicitor

Mayor re Foot Patrolme
Wds 5 & 2 _& Boston St, moved it be referred to Councillors Field, O'Brien and Swiniuch.
Gentlemen of the Council:
I return to you Order #13 entitled "Marshal assign Foot Patrolman in Ward 5 from
6 :00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. (see amendment below)" unsigned as I feel I do not have enough
information to warrant a signature. The amendment as voted is to include foot
patrolmen for Boston Street and Ward 2 as well.
By placing these foot patrolmen on duty, is it the intention of the Council that
the cruisers patroling these areas will be eliminated or do you intend to keep them as
well? Also, do the hours of 6 :00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. apply to all three areas? Do you
mean this to be a thirty day or temporary request or a permanent assignment and was
this discussed with the Marshal for his thoughts and recommendations?
Very truly yours �I
Jean A. Levesque, Mayor.
