Report of Superintendent of Streets.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,- I herewith submit my second annual report for the year ending December 31, 1902. I am well pleased with the present condition of our streets, great improvement having been made the past year. This is owing to new grades and the material used, being mostly crushed stone which is cheap and durable. There has been about fifteen hundred tons crushed from the town pit, and about one thousand tons purchased last year. I would call your attention to the great improvement made on Central street from Monument square to Winter street which is built of crushed stone. I would recommend the coming year a a more liberal use of this material.
Jackson Street.
There has been quite an improvement made on this street which I think the residents of Cliftondale greatly appreciate.
Vine Street.
Very extensive repairs having been done on this street, it is in better condition than for many years.
Drainage.
A large sum of money has been spent this year for the care of surface water and I would call your attention to the great volumes of water that flow through the street from Lincoln square to Revere town line. I would recommend a special appropriation for the grading and piping of same with proper catch basins.
161
162
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Richard Street.
Two hundred and eighty-six feet of twelve inch pipe has been laid with proper catch-basin to take care of the water that comes from the hills in this section of the town.
Main Street.
Four hundred and seventy-feet of ten inch earthern pipe and thirty-six feet of cast-iron pipe has been laid with two catch-basins, taking the water down Essex street to the brook and thence to the Saugus river. With a small amount of grading, this work on the street will be complete.
Lincoln Avenue.
Twelve hundred feet of fifteen inch pipe has been laid through land of J. W. Blodgett, which being so low required a large amount of filling to cover the pipe. As this appropriation was made so late in the year it has been impossible to complete the work and a lot is yet to be done. A portion of the street as well as the gutter has got to be graded from Spring Rock, so called, to the present drain.
Pleasant Avenue.
This avenue has been extended to Broadway with a substantial bridge over the brook. The ledge has been removed and this is a great improvement and convenience to the general public. Owing to the small appropriation, we were not able to put the same in a satisfactory condition, but this will be completed in the spring.
Central Street.
Good progress has been made on this street but owing to the fact that the Boston and Northern Railroad have asked for a location of its track through this street, work was suspended until spring. If carried out as intended this street will be one that the Town may be proud of.
I would call your attention to the condition of Walnut street from Edison street to Fairmount avenue and from the head of
163
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Rich pond to Central street, which is in a very bad condition and should receive prompt attention. Myrtle street from Howlett's pond to the Wakefield line, and Howard street, from Mitchell's corner to the Melrose line, are also in very bad condition.
The extra appropriation has somewhat increased the difficulties of this department and I wish to thank Mr. Hall and the employees of this department for their careful attention to their duties, and merit commendation for faithful service.
My acknowledgments are extended to the Honorable Board for their advice and approval and same has been very much appre- ciated by me.

REPORT OF Engineers of Fire Department.
I would recommend that the sum of $2,000 be appropriated for the running expenses of the department, also the sum of $1,540 to be paid as Firemen's salary, four companies of eleven men each at $35 per man which will include the drivers. I would also recommend that an appropriation be made to equip the department with horses to be used on all Town work which I think would be a paying investment and add greatly to the department.

Report of Board of Health.
The Board of Health respectfully submits its annual report for the year 1902.
The Board was organized as follows : George W. Gale, M. D., Chairman ; William F. Belcher, Secretary ; Benjamin F. Robin- son, Health Officer.
Regular meetings of the Board are held at the Town Hall on the first Monday of each month at S o'clock P. M.
Complaints of various kinds were made to the Board, and all were investigated without delay, and where any nuisance was found to exist it was promptly ordered abated, and the order was complied with in every case.
We have had the smallest number of cases of contagious dis- eases reported this year since the board was created all due to the general cleanliness of our citizens who take pleasure in comply- ing with the regulations of the board. Diphtheria, seven cases ; Scarlet Fever, one case, and eight cases of measles.
