1946-PLANNING BOARD A meeting of the Planning Board was held on r'ebruary 7,
1946, at 7.30 P. M. Messrs. Butler, Baker and Merrill were
present and YYIr. Butler presided. ,,:r . Hans and mir. Wallace L.
Williams were also present .
Mr. Butler asked Pair. Williams, representing 1,'ay, Spofford &
Thorndike, to review the history of the grade crossings elimination
project. kr. Williams said that the money for the Bridge Street
crossing had been appropriated and the work should start within
60 days, just as soon as the contract was made . The previous
contract was cancelled due to war conditions, but a technicality
was holding up the matter in the Attorney General' s office. .
He explained the proposed widening of the tunnel, depression of
the tracks and relocation of the' station with changes in adjacent
streets, all as shown on a plan prepared by Mr. Hans. On the
yquestion of raising funds, lair. Williams said that under a new
law, Federal sponsored funds might be obtained which could pay for
50% of land damage. the B. & M. R. R. could pay up to 15% of
construction costs and President French has agreed to cede title
to the City of Salem of all B. & M. R. R. property not actually
needed to run their tracks (not including North Street crossing
and Danvers branch) He thought the total cost would be approximately
$3,000,000. not including the �p500,000 already allocated. the
plans as drawn would provide a parking space for about 300 cars .
In a general discussion with the B.aard, Prir. Williams advised
getting the Bridge Street overpass under way and then concentrating
on the tunnel project, before pressing for elimination of the
worth Street crossing. Mr. Hans asked that Fay, Spofford and
Thorndike consider his plan for a new highway along North River
when they aremaking plans for elimination of the iaorth River sewage
nuisance, and it was decided that air. Butler confer with the mayor
and get his approval on this. Mr. Williams said he had obtained State
approval of a new highway, as planned by Mr. Hans, connecting with
Summer *�)treet and providing around a by-pass for traffic around _
the center of the city. Funds for preparing .plans may be obtained
from Federal Emergency Planning Eivision, with approval of mass .
Dept . of Public Works, Federal Bureau of Good Roads, and mass.
Attorney ueneral. If plans go through, the City reimburses the
llivision without interest, otherwise there is no cost to the City.
mr. Merrill reported on a meeting attended by Board members
at the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce Housing Committee,
where a demonstration was given on prefabricated houses. Mr. Merrill
said he thought such houses in this cl'ima' te were suited only for
temporary housing emergencies. It was decided to write �to Bruce H.
Coffin, chairman of the C. of C. committee, thanking him for the
opportunity to see the exposition, and offering the cooperation of,
the Planning Board in relieving the housing problems in balem.
On motion of sur. Baker, it was voted to hold regular monthly
meetings on second Tuesdays, at 7.30' P. M.
Mr. Butler called attendion to. a recent article in the Salem
Evening Thews quoting councillor Frank Dolan as saying that the
tunnel development project would provide parking space for "thousands"
of cars. i,.t his suggestion, it was' decided-that mr . Hans should
prepare a plan to show Mr..Dnl"an that his figure was much exaggerated.
Mr. Butler Was directed to confer with the Iliayor and e,%press the
opinion of the Board that widening Sewall Street is not as important
as finishing. North 'Street and extending a new highway from oummer
St. to the vicinity of i.-fill otreet crossing.
rhe election of a Secretary to succeed mr. O'Donnell came up,
•
and Mr. Baker nominated , r. herrill who was unanimously elected.
On motion of ,.:r. merrill, the meeting adjourned at 10 P. 14.
respectfully submitted, Secretary

Dear Sir:
Inasmuch as there is no suitable eligible list from
which to certify, under the provisions of Chanter 13,
Section 5 , Acts of 1942 , authority is given for the continued
provisional employment of the following for sis. months from
March 20, 1946:
Egbert Hans as Planning Engineer.

A meeting of the Planning Board was held on April 22, 19465
at eight o'_clock P. M. All the members were present 'except Mr.
Mann. Mr. Baker presided.
A hearing was held on the petition of Nederie Gaudrault,
Joseph A. LeBlanc, Ludger 0. Demers and Rene J. Ouellette to change
a general residence zone on Canal Street Extension, from Forest
Avenue about 550 feet, and averaging in depth from Canal Street
Extension about 200 feet, to a business zone
. Mr. Nederie Gaudrault, 8 Bristol Street, appeared in favor.
He said he had owned land with his father at this location for
twenty years. He had been in the gasoline station business on
Boston Street before going into the Service and he now wanted to
erect a gasoline service station on Canal Street Extension.
• Mr. Joseph E. Gauthier, 13 Ocean Avenue, appeared'in ,favor,
saying that the opposite side of Canal Street is now industrial,
it is a main thoroughfare and a busy street and no residential
development is likely.
Mir. Rene J. Ouellette appeared and asked that his name be
withdrawn from the petition.
Mr. Roland Berube, 20 Hancock Street, appeared in favor. He
said the location was ideal for business and as it was ledge and
swamp it would be too expensive to improve for residential use. He
said he was an ex-Service man and wanted to go into business . there.
Mr. Wilfred Gosselin, 226 Canal Street, appeared in opposition.
He said he bought his property there 18 years ago with the understand-
ing that it was a residential district. He said Canal Street Extension
was not laid out when the zoning law went into effect. He� thought
neighboring property would be devalued. He presented a petition in
opposition.
Celia Scaletti, 28 Forest Avenue , appeared in opposition. She
said it,would not be safe forethe children of the neighborhood to
have any additional traffic.
Mr. Gaudrault said that there was an industrial zone on.the west
side of Canal Street Extension and there would be no interference
with traffic on Forest Avenue.
Mr. Gosselin questioned the restrictions on the lots in the
. vicinity at the time they were sold.
Mr. Robert W. Reardon, for the Almy Estate, said that much of
theproperty involved was purchased from the Almy Estate and had not
been built on due to the depression and the war. The opposite side
of Canal Etreet Extension is zoned for industry but is also a fine
residential neighborhood. The zone in question is an available
residential area, not Grade A desirable land, but could be developed.
Mr. Gaudrault said the land has been idle for many years and it •
is harder to build now than in the past. From Charles Street to
Hersey Street is swamp. On Canal Street is ledge.
Mr. Dante Pellicelli, 33 Forest Avenue, said he intended to
build in the neighborhood as . soon. as possible.
Mr. Clement Theriault, 220 Canal Street, appeared in opposition,
saying his son wanted to build in neighborhood.
Mr. Gaudrault said he wanted to make an honest living and did
not. want to make enemies. His lots are open for sale if people want
. to buy them.
Mr. Joseph A. LeBlanc and Mr. Ludger 0. Demers requested that
their names be removed from the petition.
The hearing was closed..
Mr. Butler and Mr. Baker, speaking from the legal standpoint,
said that they believed that any private restriction on the sale
of land supercedes any zoning restfliction. Mr. Hans was requested
We, the undersigned, Residents or Property Owners on Canal Street, Forest Avenue and-
Lucier Street, wish to object and oppose the changing of zoning ordinance on Canal Street

A meeting of the Planning Board was held on May 14, 19465 at
7.30 P. M. . All the members were present except Mr. Mann and
Mr. Butler presided..,- Mayor Coffey, City Solicitor Kinsella and
Mr. Hans were also present.
Thp question of lots. for veterans off Fort Avenue was taken
up. Mr. Kinsella read the Mayor' s letter to him in regard to a .
proposed form of deed to the veterans. He then read a draft of
antale agreement and also orders for passage by the City Council,
which would give the Planning Board authority to dispose of the
lots.
The. Clerk read a letter to the Mayor from the Salem Veterans
Council asking to have two members sit in with the Planning Board
in regsrd to the Fort Avenue project, and the Mayor' s reply.
On motion of Mr. Baker, it was voted to invite the Salem Veterans
Council (Henry Gryczkiewicz, Sec. , 6 Becket Ave. ) to send two rep- •
resentatives to meet with the Planning Board on May 22, 19465 at
7.30 P . M.
On motion of Mr. Baker, it was voted to pay Mr. Hans salary for
two weeks out of the regular Planning Board appropriation, for the
weeks ending May 16th and May 25th. The Mayor said he approved this

A meeting of the Planning Board was held on May 22, 1946,
. t -
• at 7.30 P . M. All the members were present and Mr. Butler pre-
sided. Also present were Mayor Coffey, City Solicitor Kinsella,
Mr. Hans, and also William B. Griffin and John Burke representing
the Salem Veterans Council.
Mr. Griffin said that they were interesting in sitting in with
the Planning Board so that they can report back to their organiza-
tion on the plans being made for the Fort Avenue land.
Mr. Hans explained the lay-out and plan.
Mr. Butler reviewed the history of the project, speaking of
the legislation which was necessary to release the strip of park
land along Fort Avenue. He said the Engineering Dept. had made
a contour plan, and the first. street could be put in this summer.
Some lots are now available. He explained that the City Solicitor
• was preparing the necessary papers to give the Planning Board
authority to handle the lots, and also a purchase agreement .
Dir. Kinsella explained the purchase agreement, which would
provide that building must be started within 180 days and completed
within one year thereafter, subject to modification by the rlanning
Board. The agreement would also provide the conditions under which
Veterans might dispose of their property.
s
Mr. Butler said that mr. Hans was qualified to act as con-
sultant and advisor in matters of architecture and landscaping; and
Mr. Baker added that Mr. Merrill could act in an advisory capacity
in the matter of u. I. loans.
In reply to a question by Mr. Griffin, Mr. Hans explained
that the land was at present zoned for single residence, and
ivir. Kinsella suggested that it could be rezone"d for general resi-
dence if that was the wish of a majority of the veterans.
i
Mr. Griffin suggested that the lots be drawn in a lottery and
Mr. Butler said that the Board wanted to use any plan that the Vet-
erans want and that will be fair to all. also if the majority of •
the veterans want a change to a general residence zone, the Board
will favor it.
Mr. Hans advised the building of orcllarless 'houses, also duplex
instead of the conventional two-family houses, and suggested that
the Veterans voluntarily submit plans to a board of local architects
for suggestions. Mr. Baker suggested joint ownership of duplex houses.
Mr. Merrill thought there should be no requirement that a veterans
must be the tenant in a two-family house.
Mr. Griffin suggested that each veteran organization be asked to
submit a plan for the distribution of the lots.
Mr. Kinsella spoke on the legal question of the sale of the
lots by the city for p1.00 each. He thought it possible that special .
legislation might be needed.
Mr. Burke asked if veterans of any war were to be included and
Mr. Griffin said that in his conversations with veterans he thought
the general opinion was that the lots should be for veterans of avorld
War II. The members of the Planning Board agreed.
Mr. Griffin said he would like to have a meeting which the
veterans could attend and be addressed by Mr. Hans and Mr. Merrill
and where copies of the plan of the project could be inspected.
The Board directed Mr. Hans to have copies of the plan prepared.
mr. !mann suggested that the veterans show their financial quali-
fications before the lots are drawn. Air. Merrill did not think this
practical.
On motion of Mr. Baker, the Board voted to hold a meeting with
the veteran applicants for lots and all other interested veterans
on July 1, 1946 at 7.30 P . M. in the Council Uhamber, and to invite
the city uouncil . to attend.
The meeting adjourned at ten o' clock P. M.
• Mr. Butler and Mr. Baker directed the clerk to invite the Mayor
and City Council and the Committee of the Veterans Uouncil to attend
the next regular meeting of the Planning Board on June 11th.

at 7.30 P. M. All the members were present and Mr. Baker pre-
sided.. „
A hearing was held fon a petition to change a business zone
on Broadway between Loring Avenue and Canal Street Extension
to a general residence zone.
Mr. William LeBlanc asked which side of" Broadway was to be
affected. Mr. Baker replied that the Board understood the peti-
tion to refer to the northeast side. Mr. LeBlane� said he was
in favor of changing that side. Mr. J. P. Conley, Mrs: Diana
Pelletier and Mrs. Angelina Dansreaujappeared in favor.) There
L
} was no opposition and the hearing was closed.

lot ll., • Mr. Migneco•appeared in favor, saying that he has a
40 foot front business lot on, Sutton Avenu and he wants ,to• extend
it 140 feet ,on ,Sutton Avenue.
The following appeared -in opposition:
Susie C. Johnson, 21 ,Sutton Avenue, .opposed to, business _
opposite her house, and asked what kind of.business the petition-
er wanted to conduct. < ,
Sarah M. Calden,_ also asked as to kind of business.
John J. Welch, 14 Sutton Avenue, said he doubted if the
petitioner owned any of the present business zone o£ Sutton
Avenue. •
Mrs. C. C. Phipps, said she was opposed to encroachment
of business in a residential neighborhood, as an opening wedge
in this case. might .be extended to. the rest of the Willows. She
said an enlarged business zone would aggravate the parking nuisance
to
and traffic hazzards.
Gilbert W. Turner said the Willows was a residential district
r 'growing in popularitywith no 'room to expand.' Homes had been bought
there with the belief that the residential 'zorrie `woufi'be "preserved.
Dr. C. C. Phipps saidthatno hardship''to the owner was in-
volved -as
n-
volved as he had bought the property while it was 'zoned for residence.
He said no community need for 's business' zone existed and no benefit
wouh' derive' from it
Richard C. Maekintire said Sutton'Avenue' was` a beautiful and
well-kept street; that business there would depreciate the valuation
of property3on-that and adjacent streets:

in opposition was presented' and, recorded:
In rebuttals Mr: Migneco said that the land in question was
used for business- years ago�wheri'aezoo was located there. He had
no wish to spoil theproperty as he has a home there and would not
do anything detrimental to his own home. The land'as itis creates
a nuisance. Mrs. , Migneco said that she and her.husband had cleaned
the land up and}fixed it up to five years. She said that many of
the opponents did not live on Sutton Avenue.
Mrs. Phipps said that the assessed valuation of Juniper Point
is over a million dollars, of which only a small part is business.

Willows and the great need of homes and the desire of the Planning
Board to assist in this great need.
Mayor Edward A. Coffey spoke on the City of Salem' s interest in
• the project in the matter of furnishing Water, Sewers and Streets and
spoke of available money in the City to lay out these streets and
said he would go before the City Council and ask for money to carry
out this plan. He also suggested that the road parallel to Almshouse
Road (Road B) be opened up first, this being, in his opinion the
best location to start on. There being some forty lots on this
location , and with the City furnishing Water, Sewers and Streets
it would be possible to start by spring.
Warren H. Butler, Chairman of the Board spoke briefly on the
beauty ofplocation and of the immediate need of roads.

homes and cited many instances where he had had personal contact
with these cases and how they were handled as to financing. The

2.
Edgar W. Nickerson, representing the City Lngineer' s Office, spoke
*riefly and pointed out on a map on display .in Council Chamber the
different locations of lots and what roads would have to be started first
if certain locations of lots were developed.
Mr. Harry Miller (veteran) spoke again and mentioned other more
desirable locations in the city such as the Municipal Golf Course and
stated that there should be more interest in the present housing problems,
which should be taken care of first instead of future plans.
A long discussion was held on the matter of financing of homes and
how much income would be necessary to finance these homes.
Mr. Sullivan, (Salem Veterans' Council) spoke briefly on the matter of
Veterans' housing emergency and the financing of same.
Mr. William Griffin (American Legion and Salem Veterans' Council)
poke briefly on the matter of Veterans' housing emergency and said the
main aim of the Planning Board was to draw plans for future homes and not
the financing of these homes, and he thought that the group should come
to some decision on the plans of awarding of lots, the setting down of
rules and the disposition of the house lots. '
Councillor IvIorency ,poke on the matter of financing homes, the
selection of home sites, the building of homes, and spoke of the desirable
location of the Fort Avenue Development, and spoke in opposition to
temporary housing plans, such as multiple housing plans.
Councillor Durkin spoke briefly and thought the group should decide
on how many lots were available and the number of applications on file
and to come to some-.decision on disposition of same and stated that he felt
that the whole 140 lots should be developed at once rather than a few,
0 hat there should be less discussion on the matter of finance and more
interest on the deciding of lots and development of lots.

AWARDING OF OF LOTS
William Griffin moved that the Planning Board come to some plan on
the manner of drawing of lots and that the drawing be made public and
that these be picked in two drawings:
1. Awarding of lots in general.
2. Awarding of location of lots.
Vincent Bane (veteran) suggested that drawings be made from two
bowls, the first bowl to contain name of applicant and the second bowl
to contain numbers of lots which are to be given. He also suggested that
if lots were not satisfactory that applicant could swap with another
veteran who had drawn lot , providing it was satisfactory with each
individual.

PL .'4NING BOARD
INOTICE TO VETERANS WHO MAY PURCHASE HOUSE LOTS
Dear Sir:
On October 7th, the Planning Board conducted a public
drawing of 140 lots of land located off Pont Avenue which are to
be sold to Veterans of World War II for *1.00 per lot. At that
time your name was drawn and you will find enclosed a list of lot
numbers and the name of the Veteran dram for each lot. A plan
which shows the location of the lots may be consulted at the City
Engineer' s Office in City Ball.
In order to qualify for a lot , it is necessary to be an
honorably discharged veteran of world VVar II and a bona fide resi-
dent of the City of Salem. It is also necessary to sign an agree-
ment with the City of Salem, which provides that (1) no dwelling
is to be erected which costs less than $5600.00; •, ( 2) building must
start within six months after signing the agreement ; ( 3) construc-
tion must be completed within one year after construction begins;
and (4) no property shall be sold for five years after the deed is
signed. It is also advisable that you make sure that you qualify
for a G. I . Loan before signing the agreement. The terms of the
agreement may be modified by the Mayor and the Planning Board if
circumstances warrant such action .
Anti:Veterans who iuere awarded lots in the drawing may
exchange their lots at will among themselves provided they giva
notice of such change to the Planning Board in writing.
r - i
If any Veterans release their lots or are in any way dis-
qualified, then those lots will be assigned in order to Veterans
who had -applied but whose names were. not drawn on October 7th
for a lot. The names of these Veterans were drawn at that time ,
however, to determine the order in which they vaoula be . eligible
for any such released -lots. If at any time you should decide to
give up your lot , will you kindly :;otii'y the Planning Board at
once in writing so that it may be available to another Veteran .
• The Planning Board, anxious to cooperate with you and
desirous of speeding this development , will hold a MEETING for the
Veterans on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20th, at 7 : 30 P.M. , in the
COUNCIL CHAMBER at CITY HALL. At this meeting local contractors
will be present as well as City and Federal offcials to advise
you. Please make every effort to attend.
Very truly yours,
Edward E. Merrill

-he got a lot. There were
Only-3,0 Losers
Philip L. Morency, council. press-
`dent, drew the third tab,bearingthe
'name of Nemo J. Febonio, 73 School
street. Then the .other councillors
stepped up to draw selections. They
were to order Adelard Beaulieu,Fran-
cis E. Rafter, Wilfred J. Poitras, Her-
man• A. Stromberg and James J.
Muse.
They were followed by.Vice Chair-
man Baker and others of the plan-
ning board, including Edward Mer-
rill and Warren H. Butler, chairman
of the group..
Lots are all staked out and It was
disclosed thatbuildingis expected to
start by spring. Should any veteran
find later that he is unable to pro-
ceed with his present plans, the
agreement under which.lots are made
available stipulates that the lot be
turned over to another veteran.Thus
the original intention of aiding vet-
erans to I acquire their own homes
would be carried out.
Serf obstacle, of course. is the
•difftr of getting actual building
opera -under way and the greatly
Increased coat of construction, which

Washington, Oct. 8—When Is a
e
e question internal and when is It in-
ternational, and what difference does
it make in either case if the peace of
the world Is threatened?
r
e This, in effect, is what Robert H.
k Jackson, associate Justice of the Su-
s preme court of the United States and
the chief American prosecutor In the
t Nuernberg trials, said in his speech
in Buffalo which in some respects
re was .the most pointed warning
against totalitarian tyranny that has
e_ been uttered since V-J day.
ey Justice Jackson dfdn'tmention the
totalitarianism or [oppression .behind
Or the "iron curtain" in Russia and the
Balkans and was properly discussing
t the problem in the most general
terms. But the implication that can
e be taken from his remarks is plain,
whether or not he Inetnded it so to
o be construed. Mr. Jacksqn said:
11 "The victory has not ended or
given promise of ending oppression
It and injustice which bre nterna
Lloual discords. We c red
is country whose predomin faction
e was practicing terrorism in most bar.
bade forms and on a east scale.
'll "But the defeat of one groupo
I oppressors does not end oppreselon
In many of its aspects persecutio
of minorities is an internal matte
e between the government and its cit-
d izens. But its disruptive effect on
the international order is so direct
tl that tryanny,on a sizable scale any-
where is a matter of internctional
concern."
This Is a significantreiterationof
s a doctrine which has lately been pro-
claimed by Uruguay with reference
s to Latin America.and byjjjLh groups
- as the Catholic bishops o erica in
their pronouncement of War ago.
e It is a principle which is logically
s rerived from the approach made by
f the Allied governments'to the prob-
lem of internal acts wholly within a
f nation's sovereignty which neverthe-
t less affect external relations and
e which in this Instance produced the
Most Flagrant Aggression
Of modern history.
e. What Justice.Jackson is really sav-
d ing is that it was a mistake for the
r world to shut its eyes to what Hitler
e and the Nazis were.doing between
d 1933 and 1939, refraining from taking

SHOE AND LE
SHORTAGE ON SHEEPSKINS
The manufacture of sheep leather
has been stopped in the tannery o
the Westboro Tanning Co., old as.
tabllshed in Westboro,.Mass. Leatbe
workers have been laid off. A main
tenance crew remains In.employment
Walter Gilbert, Boston leather mer-
chant, who manages the Westbot
tannery, says that the OPA Is t
blame. Prices on sheep leather;
fixed by the OPA, are so low, an
prices of pickled skins and costs o
tanning.-are so high that to con
time tannery operations would be a
a loss of money, as well as of tirrr
and labor.
Mr. Gilbert further says that gov-
ernment agencies have muddled u
the supplies of sheepskins• tha
quantities of them are div away
from the smaller tanneries.
He has explained the situation t
citizens of Westboro, as well as tan
nery workers, in a story In the West-
borough Chronotype.

PLANNING BOARD
NOTICV TO VETERANS WHO TIAY PURCHASE HOUSE LOTS
Dear Sir: e
On October 7th, the Planning; Board conducted a public
drawing of 140 lots of land located off Port Avenue which are to
be sold to Veterans of World War II for N11.00 per lot; At that
time your name was drawn and you will find enclosed a list of lot
numbers and the name of the Veteran drawn for each lot. A plan
which shows the location of the lots may be consulted at the City
Engineer' s Office in City Hall.
In order to qualify for a lot, it is necessary to be an
honorably discharged veteran of World War II and a bona fide resi-
dent of the City of Salem. It is also necessary to sign an agreement
with the City of Salem, Yh ich rovides that (1) no dwelling is to be
erected which costs less than 95500.00; (2) building must start within
six months after signing the agreement; (3) construction mgzst be com-
pleted within one year after construction begins; and (4) no property
shall be sold for five years €after the deed is signed. It is also
advisable that you make sure that ,you quelify for a G. I. Loan before
signing the agreement. The terms of the agreement may be modified by
the Mayor and the Planning Board if circumstances warrant such action.
:Any Veterans who were awarded lots in the drawing may exchange
their lots at will (among themselves provided they give notice of such
change to the Planning Board in writing.
If any Veterans release their lots or are in any way dis-
qualified, . then those lots will be assigned in order to Veterans who
had applied but whose names were not drawn on Octobrr 7th for a lot.
Thp names of these Veterans were drawn at that time, however, to deter-
mine the order in which they would be eligible for any such released
lots. If at any time you should decide to give 1}p your lot, will you
kindly notify the Planning Board at once in writing so that it may be
made available to another Veteran.
The Planning Board, anxious to cooperate with you and

A meeting of the Planning Board was held on November
4, 1946, at 7.30, at City Hall. Mr. Baker and Mr. Merrill
were present and Mr. Baker presided.
A hearing was held on the matter of changing a general
residence zone , 200 feet wide, on Highland Avenue,f:scutherly
side, from the Lynn line to the property line between the
estate of Dennis Coffey and the Almy Estate, to a business
zone *
Mr. Hyman Marcus appeared in favor.
John Grasso, Marlborough Road, Michael Pierro, Barcelona
Avenue, and Carmen Pierre, Sheldon Rd., Swampscott, app= ared
in favor. A representative of the Eastern Tank and Manu-
facturing Co. appeared in favor.
Mr. Patrick F. Pardo, owner of a house in the vicinity,
appeared in opposition, stating that he was opposed to
rezoning the whole area in question, but had no objection
t6 rezoning of the Grasso property. He did not think the
other property should be rezoned against the wishes of the
owners. Rezoning would open Highland Avenue to all kinds
of business, possibly objectionable. He said he was the
owner of sixteen house lots.
Messrs. Daniel O'Hara, Barnes Road, and Louis G.
Provencher, also appeared in opposition.
In bebuttal, John Grasso said that since "spot"
zoning was illegal, it was necessary to rezone a large area.
The representative of Eastern Tank and Manufacturing
Co. said the area would never develop for residential
purposes and homes would never be built on the dual highway
now under construction. He called attention to the fact
that owners of property do not have to allow business on their
land just because the: property is rezoned for business.
Mr. Pardo. said. there had been no residential development
on Highland Avenue because there was no water supply, and in
addition the war had stopped building. He thought conditions
would be different now.
The hearing was closed.,
A hearing was held on an ordinance to allow the use of
third floors of two and one-half story houses in residential
districts, except the single residence districts.
Mr. Francis J. Thompson appeared in favor.
Mr. Walker Cahill questioned the advisability of setting
aside the law temporarily and suggested that the change should
be made permanent if it is desirable.
Mr. Thompson sspoke of the housing shortage in Salem,
with many veterans needing homes and no other housing projects
in view.
On question of financing btrc=thbtCIItyiof the alterations
r
allowed in the ordinance, Mr. Cahill said he was opposed to
the City going into the real estate business, and Mr. Thompson
said that the veterans' organization of which he was a member
(Amvets? ) was opposed to the City financing such alterations.
The hearing was closed.
On motion of Mr. Merrill, it was voted to recommend to
the City Council that the ordinance to allow the use of third
floors, under certain conditions, should be adopted without del
On motion of Mr. Baker, the meeting adjourned at 9.30 P . M.

Gentlemen:
The Planning Board, to whom was referred an amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance which provides, umger certain conditions,
for the use of two and one-half story dwellings by more than two
families, has held a public hearing on the same as required by
law.
Because of the housing shortage in this City and the
urgent need of IpIInyid'liig'rhomes for many of our veterans, the
Board recommends that this zoning am.endmdnt be adopted without
delay.
Respectfully submitted,

A meeting of the Planning Board was held on
November 26, 1946. All the members were present and
Mr. Butler presided. City Solicitor James Kinsella was
also present.
There was a general discussion of the next procedure
in regard to the veterans ' lots, especially with reference
to recommendations to the Mayor and City Council, and
in regard to the preparation of deeds by the City Solicitor.
Mr. Kinsella said he thought the proper procedure would be
to request the .Mayor to direct the ,City Solicitor to prepare
an order for submission to the City Council which would
authorize the Mayor to execute deeds for the sale of lots
• off Fort Avenue to those veterans who sign an agreement
with the City of Salem as drawn by the City Solicitor.
No decision was reached and Mr. Butler directed the clerk
to hold such a communication pending further discussion.
On motion of Mr. Mann, it -was voted to recommend to
the City Council that the petition to change a general
residence zone on the southerly side of Highland Avenue
from the Lynn line to the property line between the estate
of Dennis Coffey and the Almy Estate to hEbusiness zone
be granted, with the further recommendation that such
zone should extend 400 feet wide from the line of Highland
Avenue, instead of 200 feet as requested in the petition,
in order to provide sufficient space for suitable parking
areas in conjunction with any large business development
withih the zone . Mr. Butler, as an interested party, asked
to be excused from voting.
On motion of Mr. Mann, it was voted thatnapy addi-
tional applications for veterans' lots received since
the lots weredrawn or in the ..future should be added
in order at the'-•end of the supplemental list .of veterans
eligible for lots released.
On motion of Mr. Mann, it was voted that as lots
are released they shall be assigned in order to the
. _veterans on the supplemental list and the veterans so
notified.

A meeting of the Planning Board was .held on Neuea4laea--�6�
1946, at 7.30 P . M. , in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Mr. Baker, Mr. Mann and Mr. Merbill were present and Mr. Baker
presided. Also present were Mayor Coffey, City Solicitor
Kinsella, City Engineer Morse, Building Inspector O'Rourke,
John M. Gray and Frank T. Gallagher of the Emergency Housing
Committee, and Mr. Walsh of the Matter Builders' Association.
A large number of veterans were also present. . The purpose of
the meeting was a conference with the veterans, to explain to
them certain problems and situations arising in connection with
.the veterans ' lots off Fort Avenue.
Mr. Morse explained the topographical map of the area
and answered questions. He said it would take at least a
year to put in water and sewer ' services. He advised against
building, except in the Almshouse Road�Fort Avenue area,
before blasting for streets had been completed. He said he
had no funds available to install sewers.
Mr. Harry Miller advised the veterans against building
in this area and said other locations were more desirable.
In 'reply to a question, Mr. Mann said the southerly side of
Fort Avenue was not chosen because of the proximity of the
settling basin, as well as other undesirable features.
Mr. Walker .Cahill spokein defence of the location on the
northerly side ofFort Avenue .and said similar conditions had
existed in other parts of the bifillows before they were built up.
He said the project was a credit to the Planning Board.
Mr. Walsh, speaking as a builder, said the average veteran
cannot afford to own a single house, even on a perfect lot. He
said that under present conditions the cheapest house will cc a
cost $7500.00. •
Mayor Coffey recommended that -the , City,blast ,every
cellar and remove the stone, and that one road should be
built at once.
Mr. Gray .described what is being done in,other communities,
but principally under semi-private enterprises, .and made a
generous offer to help and advise the veterans in every wa7
possible. . I
Mr. O'Rourke said-he thought there were 30 to 40 lots that
could. be built on at once.
Mr. Kinsella explained the agreem3nt and the deed.
Mr. Clarence Mayo, of the Salem Gas and Electric Lighting
Co. said that the installation of electricity and gas would
depend on the availability of materials and the progress of
the development. The Company would cooperate .in. every way
possible.
Mr. Baker- taid that if a.-holder of .a lot was obliged to
leave the city, in .order to find a.place to live he would not
forfeit his lot.
Mr. Baker 'said ,that -.the meeting, was held to boring all
facts into the open, so that the veterans would not think that
the city was trying to cover up.anything.1'
The meeting .adjourned. at ten P. M.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of December 12, I wish to
inform you that you should file with this office once each
month a copy of the payroll of the Planning Board covering
the first full week of the month.
If payment is made on a monthly basis, the monthly
payroll should be filed with this office once each month.
On this payroll should be listed the names of all persons
employed in civil service positions.
I cannot find any record that any civil service
authorization has been given for the employment of Miss E.
• Mabel Curtis as Temporary Clerk.
Will you 'kindly forward information regarding her
employment, listing the date of her appointment. Inasmuch
as this position appears to be under the jurisdiction of
this department, you should file the enclosed requisition
so that it may be filled out in the civil service manner.

Miss Helen M. Pellet',.
Dept, of Civil Service,
State House,
Boston 33, Mass,
Dear Miss Pelley:
In reply to your letter of December 19th, I would say that the
Salem Planning Board has no regular employee at present. Our clerk,
Miss E. Mabel Curtis, has done part-time work for the Board since
about 1922. At that time, she was a clerk in the City Clerkts
office (under Civil Service) and was later appointed Assistant City
. Clerk. She left the City Clerk's office in 1939 but continued to
do some work for the Planning Board. She has been paid varying
amounts, depending on the amount of work done, the maximum being
$100 per year, until the last two or three years when the work
increased to some extent. This year she will have been paid $300.00.
The special work which required this extra payment probably will not
be continued during 1947
In view of the small salary, we have never considered that this
position would come under the Civil Service rules. Miss Curtis was
form&vby on the Civil Service list, but I do not know what her standing
may be since she left the City Clerk's office. V1111 you please inform
me if it is necessary for us to make any change in our procedure,
which, as you can see, has been carried. on for the past twenty-five
years*
Very truly yours,
Chairman
