Book Description

Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Auditing Committee of the Receipts and Expenditures of the Town of Swampscott, for the Year Ending February 28, 1873 We feel that the annual Increase of the town debt is a matter not fully appreciated by ourselves, but may be by posterity; and would suggest either the payment of some portion of it each year, or an appropriation of a contingent fund to be used for such improvements as are authorized after the annual appropriations are made. We wish once more to call the attention of parents whose little ones are near their schools, to the forlorn condition of a portion of our little charges at the north part of the town, who still have to wend their weary ways through pathless snows over and across the railroad to the west end school, or (worse yet) to the town hall, and whose prayers and petitions although gracefully uttered are never answered.
