Citizens of Saugus:
In my opinion, one of the specific duties of a Town Manager is to keep the people of his community fully informed as to the operation of their local government. With that thought in mind this report is being published in order to acquaint you with all the facts pertaining to your Town government, to let you know of the progress that has been made in the community during the past year and to acquaint you with the many prob- lems that confront your Town and which must be met in the near future.
The main objective of any municipal government is to render to the people of the community services essential to their well-being, to maintain with a high degree of efficiency the physical structure of the community, improve its financial condition, pay adequate wages to all per- sonnel and to attain all of these goals within the ability of the people to pay the costs. That has been my objective in over twenty-five years as an official in municipal government. That is the program that I am operat- ing under in the Town of Saugus and it is the type of program that I hope to continue just as long as I remain here as Town Manager. I believe that these objectives have been to a great degree fully attained in the Town of Saugus during the year 1957.
A review of salaries paid in the cities and towns of Essex County and other cities and towns close by Saugus outside of Essex County will show that Saugus Town employees are close to the top of the list and fare very well in comparison with their brethren in other communities.
The tremendous road program completed by our Public Works Department this year, coupled with extraordinary repairs to the Sweetser School, the Emerson School, the Felton School fire escape and new boilers in the Oakland- vale and Cliftondale Schools are proof that the physical structure of the Town is being improved.

A reduction in the bonded debt of $203,000 in 1956, $203,000 in 1957 and a reduction of $5.00 in the tax rate during 1957 furnish ample proof that we are achieving our objectives and doing it within the ability of our people to pay.
On January 1, 1956 our Excess and Deficiency account totalled $91,008.00 of which $8,442 was free cash. On January 1, 1957 our Excess and Deficiency totalled $203,404 of which $89,249.00 was free cash and I am happy to state that as of January 1, 1958 our surplus amounted to $312,056.29 of which $225,514.00 was free cash. With a reduction of $406,000 in the Town Debt and an increase of $211,048.68 in our Excess and Deficiency account, with an increase of $217,068.00 in our free cash, it can readily be seen that the Town's financial structure is much stronger than two years ago.
In the following pages of this pamphlet, you will find reports from your Department Heads in more detail. It is my hope that we can com- pile this report in such a way as to give to you, the people of Saugus, a clear picture of the manner in which your Town government functions and the cost of operating your warious Town Departments.
In conclusion may I say that the accomplishments of the past year and a half would not have been possible unless I had received the wholehearted cooperation of all members of the Board of Selectmen and our Department Heads. To them I offer my sincere thanks for the manner in which they have cooperated with me during the past year.
I have always believed that the achievements of the past are the gurantees of the future and I sincerely hope that the record that we have compiled during 1956 and 1957 can be emulated in 1958 and 1959.

However, there are three major problems facing the Town at the present time which will entail large expenditures in the near future. The need of replacing some of our antiquated schools and the need for more classrooms is apparent to all who have studied the problem. Extension of our Sanitary sewer system cannot be delayed much longer as conditions in some sections of Town are real serious. The replacement of some seven miles of cement water mains should be undertaken. However, I believe that the school and sanitary sewer problems deserve our first consideration.
At the present time the total debt of the Town of Saugus is $2,794,000 and interest charges on this debt for 1958 will cost Saugus taxpayers $73,934.75. Ten dollars of the Saugus Tax Rate for 1958 will go for interest and maturity payments. I am hoping that we can make fur- ther reductions in our total debt before we embark upon any program that will entail the borrowing of any monies.
Furthermore our Master Plan for the Town should be completed early in 1958 and should serve as a guide to us all in solving the afore- mentioned problems.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Town Manager:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter Ll, Section 61 of the General Laws of Massachusetts, I herewith submit the Annual Report of all financial transactions by Town Officials and Departments and a statement of the Financial Condition of the municipal government for the year ending December 31, 1957.
Town Indebtedness
On January 1, 1957 the sum of #2,997,000 was outstanding in bonded debt. During the year 1957 $50,000 matured on Sewer Bonds, $15,000 on Water Bonds and $138,000 on School Bonds leaving a balance of $2,794,000 outstanding on December 31, 1957.
A total of $79,167.25 was paid for interest due on all bonds. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts paid to the Town the sum of $69,544.91 through the School Building Assistance Commission, as assistance on the 1957 maturity of all School Bonds. Included in this report is a state- ment of the total cost of all bond maturities and interest due annually for the years 1958 through 1974 inclusive.
Temporary Loans
The Town Treasurer borrowed #800,000 to finance the municipal government in anticipation of taxes. All temporary loans were paid off by December 6, 1957. The total sum borrowed was $100,000 less than in 1956.
The Town appropriation of $12,000 for interest payments on temporary loans was apportioned $614.70 to Chapter 90 highway loans

- 2 -
and $9,457.16 to Tax Anticipation loans, leaving a balance of $1,928.14 as of December 31, 1957.
Again in 1957 it was necessary to borrow money as a temporary Chapter 90 highway loan. The sum of $54,000 was borrowed which will carry over to 1958 and be paid off in that year with receipts from the County and State.
Tax Titles and Tax Possessions
On January 1, 1957 there was $22,099.20 outstanding on Tax Titles. With redemptions and additions for unpaid taxes, abatements and refunds the December 31, 1957 balance was $16,662.35 showing a reduction of $5,436.85 for the year ending 1957.
On January 1, 1957 there was $90,471.68 outstanding as unsold Tax Possessions. Gains on sales and land taken by the Treasurer brought this figure up to $109,214.69. Collections and net losses amounted to $16,021.16. This left an outstanding balance of $93,193.53 or an in- crease of $2,721.85 over the January first balance.
General Financial Condition
The Assessors Recapitulation Sheet for the year 1957 showed the Estimated Receipts, which includes Income Taxes, Corporation Taxes, Meal Taxes and Town Income, as a total of $873,201.41 which was used in computing the 1957 tax rate of $64.90. As in 1956 this figure for Estimated Receipts proved to be a conservative one and the actual amount received was $940,283.45 or a net gain of $64,279.46 for the year.
In Town appropriations the sum of $36,633.53 was unexpended and was transferred to the Revenue account from departmental balances.

- 3 -
The Surplus Revenue (E & D) at the end of 1957 carried a balance of $312,056.89. This was an increase of $108,652.84 over the 1956 balance and a total increase of $221,048.49 over the 1955 balance. The upward trend in this account is indicative of a healthy and sound financial structure in the Municipal Government of Saugus.
"Free Cash" for 1957 will be well over $200,000 marking the high- est balance of "Free Cash" in the history of the Town.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Town Officials, the State Auditor, Department Heads and employees who have co-operated with this department throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted, Living@ Campbell Irving E. Campbell Acting Town Accountant
