Mabel Curtis as a clerk for the Salem Planning Board. The fact that the salary involved is small does not in itself remove the position from the operation of the Civil Service Law. I note your statement that Miss Curtis was atone time employed with a civil service -status in the office of the City Clerk. In view of this fact and because of the small salary paid, note will be made on the records in this office of her part-time employment as a clerk, at a salary not to exceed $300. per year.

Dear Sir: I herewith submit for your information, as requested, the estimated cost of constructing roads and public utilities in connection with the Veterans Housing lievelopment on Fort Ave. Due to the proposed roads not being named, they are designated . as "A, B, C, D, E, F, and G" • The cost is estimated as follows : ROAD STREET Siam SEWER WATER TOTALS SANITARY STORM MAINS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A 17346.00 20988.00 15008.00 5693.00 59035.00 B 12910. 13273. 11592. 37775.

The question of excavating ledge for cellars, which I understand that the Mayor agrees to do, has not been considered due to the fact that we have no knowledge as to where houses will be built and the amount of ledge to be encountered. I believe however that about w 2500000 should be provided for the construction as contemplated. Yours truly, City Engineer • CITY OF SALEM, MASSACHL`SETS Mayor' s Office, City call April 24, 1947 To the City Council City hall Salem, Massachusetts Gentlemen of the Council: There- are various sections of Salem which 'should have sewer facilities. Mr. Frank P. lviorse, City Engineer, and I have talked this matter over and have come to the conclusion that the sewers should be extended in these areas. In order to bring about the extension of the sewers, I recommend passage of the accompanying Order providing for an appropriation of $15,000, chargeable to the tax levy for • the current year, and a bond is ue of $100 ,000 , making a total of $115,000. Sewer extension and construction is needed on Atlantic Street , Felt Street, Waitt Street , arid "arlborough Road. Part of this appropriation will also be used for the construc- tion of sewers at Fort Avenue in the veterans' project. It will also be used for such other areas as Pair. blorse shall determine from time to time should have sewers constructed. The said sum is to be expended under the direction of City Engineer Frank P. Miorse and to be a special item *known as "Extension and Construction of Sewers." Very truly yours, ( signed) Edward A.

My term ex- pires May 1st and I am not eligible for reappointment being no longer a resident of Salem. This makes two vacancies and I have been urging the Mayor to appoint Dan Foley to one of them. T hope he will. But one last minute request to you. 'Mr. Poitras called re the Canal Street extension zoning change from industrial to residential, and thinks it would be most helpful for the Board to have a hearing and make its recommendation before • the next Council meeting and the Mayor agrees. So will you send out notices, etc., of such a hearing? If Louis is still hospitalized you will have to have Merrill or Mann preside. Or if you think it better and more appropriate you might wish to check with one or the other of them be- fore setting a date yourself. I enclose also copies of a communication I am making to the Mayor, as Mr. Baker asked me to do in his absence. If in order' will you kindly forward the original to his Honor and keep the rest-for the files . With every good wish, Yours faithfully, AVVII 29th,1947 Ron. Zdward. A.

M. Mr. Merrill and Mr. Mann were present 4 and Mr. Merrill presided. A hearing was held on a petition to change an industrial zone on Canal Street, from about No. 220 to No. 232, to a general residence zone. Ernest A. Harding appeared for the petitioners. He explained that the location of the proposed zoning change was on the westerly side of Canal Street from about opposite Forest Avenula to Broadway. Some of the lots were originally purchased from the Almy Estate under an agreement restricting them to residential uses and the deeds of the Gosselin and Theriault lots contained the same restric- tion. Evidently through inadvertance, the deeds, of two lots to Oscar Demers, who is petitioning for a gasoline station pennit at • this location, did not contain the restriction. A third lot which Demers wishes to buy has not yet been deeded, but the deed will be restricted so Demers will not have sufficient unrestricted land for a gasoline station. The home owners in the vicinity have built substantial dwellings and other homes are to be built. Homes are also to be built on the opposite side of the street. The fact that Demers has e;lready applied for a gasoline permit would not effect reaoning under the ,statute. If the zoning change is made, taxable property will be increased as four proposed new homes will be built by veterans. Joseph E. Theriault appeared. in favor and said he would have petitioned for rezoning before but until recently was ignorant that the property was zoned for industry. • Wilfred S. Gosselin appeared in favor. He said that homes had been bought at this location in the belief that it was. to be a community of homes. About thirty persons present were recorded in favor. J. Andrew Foisy appeared 'in opposition on behalf of Oscar Demers He pointed out a discrepance between the plot plan and the petition, the plan showing more territory. He said that the petition was unusual in that it asks for a greater restriction and that any restriction in the deeds does not enter into any question of •rezoning. A change of zone as requested would constitute "spot" zoning to the detriment of an individual trying in good faith to establish himself in busi- ness. Only Theriault and Gosselin are abuttors. " ThW bought their land in 1927-1928 in a zoned industrial area and built in 1929- 1930. Demers looked up the zoning before buying his 'land and peti- tioning for a gasoline permit. The growth of Canal Street has been entirely for industry and business All of theewest side of Canal Street is an industrial zone except -for a small spot of business zone. The petitioners own a frontage `of 275 feet. • In rebuttal, Mr. Harding said that the area involved was larger than implied by Mr. Folsy, Edward C. Mack was recorded in favor . He said spot zpning is an "island without a reason". There is a reason in this case. Mr.Theriault said that he did not ask for any change except opposite an existing general residence zone . He said he did not want to infringe on others' rights. Mr. Foisy, in answer to a question, said that Demers bought his land in November, 1946. Roland Nadeau, son of the former owner of -the Demers land, appeared in opposition. The hearing adjourned at 9 P . M. The members of the Board present decided to confer with • Mr. Baker and prepare a recommendation for the City Council. The meeting adjourned at 9.15 P . M.

M. Mr. Baker and Mr. Mann were present and Mr. Baker • presided. A hearing was held on the petition of Hyman Marcus to extend the business zone on Highland Avenue, southerly side, easterly to the boundary between the Almy Estate and land of Pocharski and further to extend the depth of said zone to 1000 feet, the present zone being 600 feet in depth and extending on the southerly side of Highland Avenue from the Lynn line to the nwrttherly boundary of the Almy Estate. Hyman Marcus appeared in favor. He said that prior to the previous change of zone on the southerly side of Highland Avenue the more than 200 acres of land involved had been bringing the city a revenue of $1000 per year in taxes, being assessed ,at 1/5 of 1 per foot. Since the zoning change, a business development has • started, but the � zone is not of sufficient depth for future expan- sion. A new building of considerable value is planned and tax returns will increase. Residential. property(the last house on Highland Avenue) is assessed at 10V per foot. The City needs new business development to bring in additional taxes. Robert W. Reardon, representing the Almy Estate, appeared in favor, supporting Mr. Marcus ' statement. He said the land in question would. have. no value for residential purposes and there is no other available property for business concerns that wish to come to the City. John J. Walsh, 141 Highland Avenue, appeared in opposition, and said he bought his property from the Almy Estate in 1943. Re- zoning would be a stepping-stone. to bring business closer to his • home and the other homes at the northerly end of Highland Avenue. There is a petition before the City Council for a permit to store 10,000 gallons of petroleum products at an undetermined location, the petitioners evidently being undecided just what part of Highland avenue they need to have rezoned. . • vorace Hughes, 140 Highland avenue, appeared in opposition, saying that a rezoning for business would allow any kind of business and gasoline storage created a fire hazard. A thony Crescenti appeared in opposition. he said Highland nveme was being rebuilt and water and sewer had been installed to encourage new homes, but there would be no residential development if there was too much business there . Homes are needed in Salem and this would be a case of outside business concerns coming in and depriving oalem people of a place to build homes. iar. Marcus, in' rebuttal; said that. the business zone would be 1/4 mile from nearest house . hedge in the Highland -venue territory prevents sewer installation off the Avenue. Many acres • on the northerly side .are available for residences. If homes are built there in the future, they will be built by people who are doing business there . The change will increase the value of the opponents' land, but the tax rate will go down. In answer to a question by Mr. Baker, Mr. Walsh said that his house was nearest. to the proposed zone being the last house from the northerly end of Highland avenue, and 3250 feet from the Pocharski land. He said people would like to buy. the Pocharski property for homes, but the owner will only sell as a whole and probably the next request for a zoning change will be at the Pocharski land. The hearing closed at 8.30 P . M. • Mr. Baker stated that Mr. Merrill had notified him that he would be in favor of granting the petition. Mr. Baker and Mr. Mann went on record as being in favor of granting the petition, and the clerk was directed to prepare a com- munication to the City Council, recomrnend ing that the petition be granted. Mr. Baker brought up the matter that there are now two vacancies on the Board and that there is no chairman. Mr. Mann said that he would nominate Mr. Baker as chairman. Mr. Baker said that Mr. Merrill, confined to his home by sickness, had a kedstodbe recorded as voting for Mr. Baker, and Mr. Baker was elected chairman. On motion of Mr. Mann, the meeting adjourned at 9.30 P . M. Respectfully submitted, Secretary • July 21, 1947 To the Honorable city Council, City of Salem, Salem, fuss. Gentlemen. The Planning Board, to whom was referred the petition Of Hyman Marcus to extend the business zone on the southerly side of Highland Avenue, which now runs from the Lynn line to the boundary line between the Estate of 'Dennis Coffey and the Almy Estate, so that said zone will run from the Lynn line to the boundary line between the Almy Estate and the property of Pocharski and Kotarskt, and to further extend the zone 600 feet in depth so that the entire zone will be 1000 feet deep from Highland Avenue, has held a hearing as required by law and would respectfully recommend that the petition be granted.
