SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
use on the ruins after a fire, and we would recommend an appropriation sufficient to enable the department to obtain such additions as are necessary to the successful carrying on of its work. Another need is proper horses to be depended on when required, and if the town could make arrangements to relieve this want, it would greatly improve the service.
POLICE AND LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT.
Saugus, we believe, has reached the time when it is necessary to have a police department, and the men connected with it sufficiently paid so they will not be obliged to depend on other work for their living. As the enforcement of the liquor law and police matters are closely connected, we decided to combine the two appro- priations and lay the foundation of a department here- tofore neglected, for although our constable has acted to some extent as a Chief of Police he has never before this spring been given the power which the name implies.
Your board appointed Mr. Charles F. Clark to the head of this department, and we are confident had Mr. Clark not resigned to accept a more remunerative po- sition, he would, with his knowledge of the work and the town, together with full power to act, have proved that our choice was a wise one. In our second choice we were disappointed, and valuable time was lost, but after securing the services of our present Chief, Mr. Frank W. Joy, who was appointed late in the summer, after the resignation of Mr. White, we believe the citizens will admit that law can be enforced in Saugus.
We do not claim there is no liquor sold in our town, but we do claim it is confined to very close quarters. and with proper support, our present Chief, who is a conscientious officer, will be able to place Saugus among the law enforcement towns. One year ago there were

six houses in town where liquor was sold freely, and at least five of these places were far from respectable in other respects. To-day there are none where liquor is openly sold and those which are not closed are watched so carefully that another year we hope to still further free our town of these nuisances.
We would advise the appointment of three regular men on salary to give their whole time and attention to police work.
The City of Lynn appropriation for this department is $1,000 for each 1000 inhabitants, but we believe $2,500 will be sufficient for Saugus.
FINANCIAL.
While we cannot show a great reduction of the town debt, we do congratulate the town on a more healthy condition of our assets. We have abated the old balance of the uncollected tax of Warren P. Copp account. This with the appropriations of the summer after the assessments were made would cause our deficiency to increase, and as the figures make about the same show- ing as in 1891 we see no reason for any other feeling than one of satisfaction. Our loan in anticipation of taxes was placed at 3 1-2 per cent., a very low rate of interest.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT of the WATER COMMISSIONERS.
At a Town Meeting called October 9, 1891, the sum of ten thousand, five hundred ($10,500) dollars was ap- propriated to extend our water pipes through Baker street and Western avenue in Cliftondale, and portions of Pleasant Hills.
We took up the unfinished work in the spring, having on hand five thousand, four hundred and twenty-six dollars and eighteen cents ($5,426 18) from the above appropriations, and have finished the work, as the fol- lowing report will show. This work was done by Messrs. Goodhue & Birnie of Springfield, Mass.
At a Town Meeting called March 22, 1892, the fol- lowing appropriations were made to lay water pipes :-
In Tuttle street, two hundred dollars ($200) ; Elm street, seven hundred dollars ($700).
October 5, the following vote was passed by the Town :-
Voted, that the Water Commissioners have authority to extend the water pipes when in their judgment it is for the best interests of the Town so to do, and the 6 per cent. guarantee bond is filed, and that five thousand . dollars be appropriated for such purposes. This gave us the following amount of money with which to do our work this season :-

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
After the October meeting we got three bids for the work to be done this fall and winter. Mr. John T. Langford of Boston being the lowest bidder, we awarded the con- tract to him Oct. 31st. We were obliged to pay an advance of fifty cents per ton on our pipes owing to the lateness of the season; this advance, as you will see, amounts to $43.62, we having laid a fraction over 87 tons.
Up to this time our engineer upon the works had been Mr. I. K. Harris of Lynn. As we have an engineer living in our town, one of our citizens, we thought that if he could do the work as well we would give it to him, so at a meeting of our Board held Nov. 26th, at which all members were present, we discharged Mr. Harris and employed Mr. Levi G. Hawkes, on account of which Mr. Wilbur F. Newhall resigned from the Board of Water Commissioners.
We are pleased to state that owing to the remarkably fine weather we have been able to lay water pipes up to the middle of December, thereby entirely completing the work laid out.
Heretofore all bills for repairs upon our works have been paid out of the Selectmen's incidental account. We would recommend that the Town make an appro- priation of $300 for repairs, that the total expense of this department appear under one head. We would also rec- ommend that the Town appropriate, by water loan or otherwise, the sum of $5,000 for extension purposes the coming year.
