Report of Selectmen.
In presenting our report to the citizens, we would extend our thanks to all who have kindly given us their aid and advice dur- ing the past year. The questions that have been presented to us we have endeavored to settle for the best interests of the Town, and not from any local or partisan standpoint, believing the wel- fare of our community should be more to us than boundary lines. We have been criticised somewhat harshly for overrunning on the Selectmen's Incidentals, and to defend ourselves we will give some of the bills to show why we were justified in this overrun. Had we not settled some of these bills, we should have had a number of lawsuits on our hands. The following are some of the items :

Newburyport Turnpike.
This issue has been before the State Highway Commissioners for a number of years, but at the present time a new interest is awakened in towns other than our own, and under the leadership
153
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
of our able Senator Frank P. Bennett, Jr., the matter is being pushed forward with energy and decision. The Town is indeed fortunate to be represented by such a capable gentleman. Mr. Bennett was seconded in his efforts by our late Representative James A. Halliday, who has been very energetic in this move- ment. We have every reason to expect that something will be accomplished within a short time. We, as a Board, have been unanimous in our desire to lend all assistance possibe.
Public Buildings.
The schoolhouse at East Saugus has been repaired and painted. The schoolhouse at Lincoln avenue, Cliftondale and Lynnhurst have been painted and present a pleasing appearance. We have laid a concrete walk at the Felton School, a much needed im- provement. The recommendation of the former Board has been carried out by shingling and putting in repair the barn at the Town Farm.
Finance.
The Finances of the Town are in excellent condition, all the obligations of the Town the past year have been promptly met, which places the credit of the Town on a sure footing. The Tax Collector's returns up to date shows a gratifying increase over the corresponding period of last year.
Highways and Bridges.
The past year has been a notable one in this department by reason of the good work done. Walnut street from Elm to Central was in the spring of the year in an almost impassable condition that warranted our immediate attention. This road was put in good order at a comparatively small cost, when the size of the job is taken into consideration. This was made pos- sible by the fact that the gravel and stone used was procured nearby at a great saving of time and money. The number of vehicles that travel this highway is large, and the town is to be congratulated that no accident occurred on this road before we
154
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
were able to put it in shape. Pleasant street has also been dug up, resurfaced and graded, and the street put in a creditable condition.
Improvements. North Saugus.
The culvert in the square at North Saugus was found to be in a very dangerous condition, and the car track has been laid close to the edge of the culvert. Your board thought it would be advisable while making the necessary repairs to widen the square at this point. We did so at a cost of $300 and have every reason to believe that the improvement will be of lasting benefit to the town.
Lincoln Avenue.
Lincoln avenue in East Saugus was torn up and a fine piece of Macadam road was laid from Franklin square to Ballard street. The repairs on Walnut street and Lincoln avenue had been recommended by previous boards. Lincoln avenue from Cliftondale square to the Revere line has always been a source of much expense to the town on account of the inadequate sur- face drainage. The present board thought it would be unwise to resurface this street until some system had been established. This matter was taken up and a system of drainage established. By this means the unsightly and unhealthful conditions of the square have been removed, a work, we firmly believe, will be appreciated by the people who live in that vicinity. One thousand three hundred feet of 15-inch and 665 feet of 12-inch pipe was laid. On the six catch-basins, we used the new heavy D grate. The system was installed for approximately $1,800. In working on this piece of road obstacles were encountered that were unavoidable, and thereby adding largely to the cost, made it necessary for us to ask for a further appropriation. For this piece of work your board has been severely criticised. We would wish to state at this time that this was not left as a finished piece of road, but was put in a safe and passable condition. The surface water now having been taken care of, we recommend that the street be resurfaced and graded at an early date.
155
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The much talked of bridge improvement at East Saugus is an established fact, and will add greatly to the convenience and attractiveness of that section of our Town. The delays on this work have been long and many but eventually all obstacles legal and otherwise have been overcome and the work cleaned up. The repairs throughout the Town have been many and varied. A number of dangerous places in our streets have been made safe, but there are many more that require prompt attention. Much yet remains to be done to bring up some of the streets even to their normal condition.
Street Lighting.
We have made a number of changes in our street lighting the past year and have every reason to feel gratified at the results, confident that we are getting better service for the same amount of money. We would recommend that the system of lighting on Central street, between Denver street and Lincoln avenue, be changed over from the arc to the incandescent lamps. Winter street in many places is dark, crooked and hilly, and as it is used by both electric cars and automobiles we believe it would be advantageous to the public to make a change there also. The town has been very generous in its street lighting appropriations and we certainly want to get all the benefits due us from this expenditure.
Murphy vs. Town.
This case has been in the court for a number of years. This year it came up again for a new trial, and a verdict rended in favor of the Town.
Building Committee.
It has been very evident for some time that we should have some form of building laws to govern the erection of new build- ings that they may be both safe and sanitary. With this in mind at the beginning of the year we appointed a Committee of practical men to frame such rules which we trust will meet with your approval and be adopted by you at an early date.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
McCafferty.
At the last March meeting Article 25 was referred to the Board of Selectmen to act on with the advice of legal counsel. We entered into the investigation at an early date, hoping to make a settlement. The merchandise bills contracted by the Borad of Assessors of 1907, we paid as we found the articles in the possession of, and used by the present Board of Assessors. The chairman of the present Board of Assessors refering to these bills remarked, "that it would be a very great injury in my judgement, to the Town of Saugus to permit the goods above named to be withdrawn from the Board of Assessors as it would create un- limited damage to the Town." The bills for labor we could not dispose of so easily, as the Board of Assessors of 1907 had entered into a contract with Mr. M. J. McCafferty for a certain consideration. The terms of this contract we found had been lived up to for some time by the gentlemen who had undertaken to install the new system. We understood that having exhausted the amount that was appropriated by the Town Meeting of 1907, the contract was then rescinded by the Board of Assessors. This we could not substantiate by any evidence obtainable, one member or the board stating the contract had been rescinded, one other member claming Mr. McCafferty was all the time working under the contract it never having been rescinded to his knowl- edge, the third member claims that he had no knowledge what- ever of any contract being entered into by the board. This is substantially the evidence found by us. There is no dispute but that a contract had been entered into. We can find no record that it had ever been rescinded. The board consists of three members and we have always understood that at least two mem- bers must necessarily be unanimous to make their work legal. Evidently the work of this Board of Assessors of 1907 was con- ducted by one man, the other two members keeping in the back- ground and allowing him full sway. Our counsel advises us that unless we can find evidence that the said contract had been rescinded by a majority of the Board it would be unwise for us to make a settlement. His oppinion is that Mr. McCafferty has no legal claim against the Town and can be held to the contract
157
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
signed by him and the members of the Board of Assessors of 1907. We have had a number of conferences with Mr. McCaff- erty but could not come to any satisfactory terms, Mr. McCaff- erty demanding the whole amount with interest. On these terms we did not feel disposed to settle, consequently, Mr. McCafferty has brought suit against the town. But even then after much thought and deliberation, we were disposed to settle on a com- promising basis believing it would be for the best interests of the Town as well as for Mr. McCafferty to so do. In endeavoring to settle this matter we have always had the welfare of the Town before us, as well as trying to give whatever credit might morally be due Mr. McCafferty.

It is with pleasure that the Board of Assessors this year sub- mit their annual report. The Board has during the current term, as in the past year, endeavored to give the Town as good service as any town in the Commonwealth, at the least possible expense. At the last March Town Meeting, an appropriation of $1,600 was voted by the Town for the work of the Board during the current year. Of this only $1,065.28 has been used by the Board. The balance has been reverted to the Town Treasury. Every bill contracted up to December 31, 1909 has been paid. That cash expended has been only such as abso- lutely necessary will be noted by the account rendered by the Auditor, where it will be noted that the Assessors have received for services rendered, less than at any previous year.
In connection with the small expenses in maintaining the office of the Board, the Assessors desire to call the attention of the citizens that at the last March Meeting the Board of Finance recommended no separate appropriation for searching records, and that the past year, Saugus has had more transfers than any previous year. Hence, larger expenses. Each year, the work in the Board is greater by reasons of the many transfers in very small parcels of land which entail as much work as a larger
161
ASSESSORS' REPORT.
parcels. The Board has discovered many errors in the assess- ment of acreage and feet of land through their itemized tax bill inaugurated the past two years. The Board would recommend an appropriation at the next Town Meeting for the printing of a valuation book to be distributed to the inhabitants. It is need- less at this time to say that the citizens of Saugus should in future use the utmost care in the selection of men to fill the posi- tion of Assessors. Only men of known judgment should be considered for such office, and men who are in sympathy with the system and policy at present established in the office.
The Board desires at this time to call the attenton of the citi- zens to the valuable work done by the Clerk. She has relieved the Board of much necessary work and in addition to her office work, she has done all the State House work and saved the Town much money, We find, however, that the coming year she must have assistance for a few weeks in order to furnish the State House with returns in due season. -

Report of the Superintendent of Streets
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen, in submitting my Annual to the citizens of the Town, it gives me great satisfaction to state that Walnut street has been put in so thorough a condition, as the residents of the northern part of the Town have asked to have something done on that thoroughfare for a number of years.
There are a few of the main streets in need of re-surfacing ; Lincoln avenue, Main street, Saugus Centre ; also Main street from Howard street to the residence of Isaiah Longfellow. Adams avenue from the Pleasant Hills depot west, is in need of general repairs. Also that Ballard street receive the necessary repairs. There are quite a number of other streets that need attention.
Lincoln avenue, Cliftondale, has a long needed want at last supplied. A large pipe has been laid the entire length, with the necessary catch basins, which takes care of all the surface water underground, making it a dry thoroughfare at all times.
While this Department has spent a large amount of money this year, it has been a busy department, and we feel that the amount of work done has been appreciated generally.
I also recommend that the Town purchase all the cinders they can as they make an excellent sidewalk.
I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their co-operation with this Department.
