WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
Before commencing our work we decided instead of putting out the same by contract, as heretofore, that it would be advis- able, considering the number of men out of employment in the town, to buy stock and tools and do the work ourselves. We did so, with results found in our report.
For total amount of money spent, we have laid as many feet of pipe as could have been laid by contract, and we have on hand a good supply of tools for future use, either for extension purposes or repairs, which is clear gain for the town. It also kept some two thousand dollars ($2,000) of the appropriation in town giving employment to some ninety men that were idle.
It appears to this board that the time has arrived when the town should in some way have a supply of water other than through one eight-inch pipe as now. We have had one break in that line this year which left the town without a water supply and fire protection for some twelve hours. Had we been visited by fire during that time, the result can be easily imagined.
We would recommend that the town at its annual meeting in March, appoint a committee to investigate the feasibility of erecting a stand-pipe or in some way overcome this bad feature in our water system, and appropriate a suitable sum to cover their expenses.
There is considerable building in town at present time, and to those so doing the water question is an important factor, and we would ask for an appropriation of $10,000 at March meet- ing and thus enable the board to do the work in the proper season.
G. W. CASWELL, FRED. C. CHEEVER, CHARLES I. HITCHINGS, Saugus Water Commissioners.
REPORT OF ENGINEERS OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I herewith present my sixth annual report of the condition of the department, with a list of all fires and alarms which have occurred during the year ; loss and insurance as near as can be estimated ; also recommendations for the ensuing year.
MEMBERSHIP.
The number of members is sixty-eight: Board of three engineers ; two companies of twenty each, Hose 2 and 3 ; one company of thirteen, Hose I, and a ladder company of twelve.
APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES.
The appropriation for the year was $800, with an extra appropriation of $200 on account of expenses incurred in introducing the Fire Alarm system.
The expenses have been $995.71. An itemized account of expenditures will be found in the Auditor's report.
APPARATUS,
The apparatus consists of 3 I-horse hose wagons, 6 Bab- cock chemical extinguishers, and 3,400 feet of hose, - 1,800 feet first class, the balance was originally third grade and has had six years' service.

ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM.
At the last annual Town Meeting in March, the Town voted to introduce an Electric Fire Alarm system at an ex- pense not exceeding $2,500, to be paid in five annual pay- ments, and a committee consisting of the Board of Selectmen and Board of Engineers was appointed to carry the vote into

ENGINEERS' REPORT.
effect. Your committee, after a careful examination of the several systems, awarded the contract to the Municipal Fire and Police Telegraph Co., of Newton Highlands, for the sum appropriated. The company performed their part of the con- tract in a perfectly satisfactory manner, and as far as the system is concerned it works perfectly. The bell in Clifton- dale is not satisfactory ; we hope some arrangement will be made to have a large bell in the tower of the new schoolhouse as soon as completed. We would recommend that a box be located at North Saugus and one at Oaklandvale.
HYDRANTS.
We have 118 hydrants. One is needed at the corner of Atherton and Hesper Streets.
The Act of the Legislature of 1889 granting the Town of Revere the right to take water from Saugus, provides that the company shall furnish the Town of Saugus water for extin- guishing fires when called for by the Board of Selectmen. We would suggest that such action be taken as is necessary to have hydrants placed on the line of their pipe from Essex through Vine and Main Streets to Oaklandvale, as that is the only way by which suitable fire protection can be provided for this part of the town, which is now entirely unprotected.
HORSES.
We would recommend that the town purchase five horses for the use of the department, two for the truck and one each for the three hose wagons. These horses can be kept at work on the streets a great part of the time through the warm weather. They can also be used to move snow in the winter under the direction of the Street Department.
. SALARIES AND EXPENSES.
Since the first of May we have paid the members for time in service 25 cents per hour, which is a very small sum for the kind of labor performed. We think it would be better to pay a sum for the year, as is the plan in all other towns about

here. We could reduce the number of members under this plan.
We would respectfully recommend that the sum of $1,300 be appropriated for expenses of this department the ensuing year.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT.
RULE 7. In all cases of cholera, small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhus fever, and membranous croup, the rooms occupied during the sickness must be disinfected by the house- holder, under the direction and supervision of the Board of Health (see article on disinfection). They must be tightly closed and sulphur burned in them at the rate of three pounds per one thousand cubic feet of space. They must remain closed from six to twelve hours, then opened and aired thoroughly before further occupancy. The bed and bedding must be well spread out and exposed to the same sulphur fumes.
RULE 8. No patient affected with any contagious disease will be considered well and free from isolation until the at- tending physician, or a physician employed by the Board of Health, certifies that he has personally inspected the patient and found that he is no longer a source of danger. No such certificate will be received by the Board of Health, in case of scarlet fever, until at least three weeks have elapsed from the beginning of the illness, and desquamation is complete.
RULE 9. Any undertaker or other person having in his care or possession the body of a person who has died of small- pox, varioloid, Asiatic cholera, typhus fever, diphtheria, mem- branous croup, or scarlet fever, shall give immediate notice to the Board of Health, and shall cause such body, including the face, to be wrapped in a sheet saturated with ten-per-cent solution of chloride of zinc, and shall immediately place it in a sealed coffin, which shall not thereafter be opened. He shall notify the said Board, or its agent, of the time when the body is to be removed, and shall sign a certificate containing a true statement of the fact that he has complied with the foregoing provision of this section, and he, and every person having charge or custody, or right of disposal, of the body, shall cause the burial to take place immediately, and in all cases within eight hours after the time of death, unless further time shall be allowed by the Board of Health. A private funeral shall be held, at which none but the immediate adult relatives shall be present. The body shall, in no case, be removed in any carriage used for conveying passengers ; and all carriages used in con- veying persons at funerals from houses where anyone has died from any contagious disease shall be immediately disinfected,

under the direction of the Board of Health, after being so used.
RULE 10. In all cases where a physician is attending a patient sick with contagious diseases, and when, in his opinion, the proper time shall have arrived to disinfect the premises, he shall forthwith notify the Board, and upon such notice, an agent of the Board shall visit the premises, and the disinfection shall take place under his direction.
RULE II. No pupil affected with whooping cough shall attend school until fully recovered, and no pupil so affected shall be permitted to attend school.
RULE 12. The foregoing rules, relative to contagious diseases, shall be enforced until the Board of Health removes from the premises, where the illness has occurred, the placards which notify the public of the existence of the disease.
DISINFECTION.
RULE 13. All physicians, called to treat patients suffering from contagious diseases, shall recommend the use of proper deodorizers and disinfectants, which the Health Officer shall order to be used.
RULE 14. All unnecessary furniture, carpets, woolen hangings, etc., shall, at the outbreak of contagious diseases, be removed from the sick-room, that fewer articles become sources of contagion, and thereby require to be disinfected.
RULE 15. All bedding, personal clothing, etc., where possible, shall be boiled at least half an hour apart from unin- fected clothing ; and, if this cannot be done immediately, shall be put into a disinfectant fluid.
RULE 16. Infected feather beds, pillows, and hair mat- tresses, shall have their contents removed and fumigated ; infected straw and excelsior shall be burned. The coverings shall be disinfected as directed in Solution IV.
