The North Saugus Water Extension.
At the March Meeting $20,000 was appropriated to extend the water pipe to North Saugus, the same to be let out to the lowest bidder. We were compelled to comply with certain technical requirements that were called for before our Treasurer could raise the $20,000. As soon as the requirements being met, we proceeded with the preliminary work on this extension. Bids were called for and submitted, the contract was awarded to Jose Morrell of North Attleboro, Mass., he being the lowest bidder. The contract called for approximately 10,000 feet of 10-inch standard water pipe at $1.22 per foot; 2,500 feet of 8- inch water pipe at 96 cents per foot; 200 feet of 6-inch water pipe at 77 cents per foot ; two standard ro-inch gate valves at

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
$48.60 each, two 8-inch standard gate valves at $29.50 each, five to ten 6-inch standard gate valves at $8 each, five to ten 'hydrants at $31.50 each, nine to fourteen iron gate boxes and covers at $3.25 each. The Contractor started work as soon as possible after being notified, and the work was pushed through and completed in fairly good time, the approximate cost of the whole job being $16,325. A Io-inch-main is laid as far as Frank Coburn's, an 8-inch pipe is laid down Spring street to the junction of Broadway. We would recommend that a 6-inch pipe be laid from there beginning at this point, approx- imately 800 feet, so as to serve the houses on Broadway, and part of the money that is left over be used for this extension.
Highways and Bridges.
The work of this department during the past year has been in the nature of putting many of our side streets in repair, which we think has been well done, and these places will require little attention for a number of years to come. Many places we have repaired retaining walls and put up new fences along the high- ways.
Street Lighting.
In this department we have made quite a radical change in taking out 34 arc lights and replacing them with 127 incan- descent lights. The change has been of great benefit to the community, as many almost inaccessible and dark spots have been made light. Our limited time prevents us from making even more changes, but we do recommend many more arcs be removed and incandescents be substituted.
Round Hill.
At the last March meeting an article was in the warrant calling for an appropriation to buy up the so-called Round Hill property. It was voted at this meeting to refer the whole matter to the Selectmen to investigate and buy if advisable. After making a thorough investigation of the property and receiving advice from Professor La Hee of Harvard University and also from Mr.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Phillsbury of the State Highway Commissioners we took the matter up with Mr. Earle, the owner of the property and purchased the hill and the lots on Round Hill street and Wood- bury avenue. The purchasing price being $2,000. In our opinion this is money well invested for the benefit of the Town.
1907 Assessors.
The claim of Mr. M. J. McCafferty against the Assessors' Department 1907 was again referred to the Board of Selectmen for adjustment. This matter was finally reached in due time and a satisfactory agreement was arrived at between your Board and the adjusters of the M. J. McCafferty estate and was settled for the sum of $1,153.43.
The Tax Collectors.
Pursuant to your vote of last March regarding the collection of back taxes your Board took up this matter with Lewis J. Austin, tax collector for the years 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904, Mr. Austin settling all claims against him, less abatements made by the Board of Assessors, and paying interest on the same at the rate of 32 per cent. per annum.
Clarence Coates, tax collector for the years 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, made a settlement of his 1905 commitment with 3₺ per cent. per annum.
Henry A. Parker, tax collector for 1909 and 1910, is making very strenuous efforts to collect the taxes of these years and is meeting with very good success. The 1909 tax commitment was $113,918.79, of this amount $105,448.88 has been collected, $1,385. 12 abated, the amount uncollected to date is $5,253.20. The Treasurer reports the amount of cash on hand December 31, 19II, to be $65,323.78.
Public Buildings and Grounds.
In this department $1,200 the amount of appropriation was spent on work that was absolutely necessary in order to keep the buildings in even water tight condition and present a respectable
SELECTMEN'S REPORT. 185
appearance, and much more could have been spent advan- tageously on some of the buildings that are in very bad condition, such as the roof of the Town Hall where a large number of the slates have fallen off, and many more require fastening on. The gutters are in such shape that the water runs over the top making a very unclean appearance down the sides of the build- ing. The roof of the High School building needs much atten- ion, as it is in a leaky condition.
Street Sprinkling.
At the special Town Meeting in June $1,000 was appropriated for street sprinkling. Nothing definite was known about this work and it was taken up largely as an experiment. After giv- ing it much thought we took this matter up with the Lynn Board of Public Works, who gave us much valuable information, and your Board arranged with them to oil our streets in preference to watering them as we found this was being done by nearly all the cities and towns in the state. The Board of Public Works agreed to oil our streets at practically the actual cost to them of this work, and we think that the work was done in a very satis- factory manner as in the fall our streets presented a very neat appearance. This work was done at approximately $700.
Fire Department.
This department is not in as good condition as the citizens desire. The apparatus, what there is of it, is old and out of date, and practically little or no new has been added to this department for years. During the past year your board has bought 1,500 feet of hose for this department, as in the opinion of the Engineers and ourselves it was extremely necessary to add this to the apparatus. A committee was appointed at our last Annual Meeting, and we have reason to expect that a report will be rendered at our Annual Town Meeting.
Police Department.
This department is still rendering a good account for itself, and under Chief Thompson's wise and conservative administra-

tion the citizens have every reason to feel gratified at the record of this department during the past year, but it has been extremely difficult to handle this department to the satisfaction of our citizens with the small appropriation at the Chief's command, and he could render a better account if a little more was added to this appropriation.
Building Inspector.
It is very evident that the building inspector has been appointed none too soon, as there has been a considerable number of new. buildings erected in Town during the past year and the Inspector appointed has been kept busy issuing permits and making personal inspections of the buildings being erected. The salary appropriated last year was not sufficiently large for the amount of work envolved in this department and we would recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars ($300) be appropriated for this office.
Main Street.
The rails of the Boston & Northern railroad on Main street from the monument to Broadway are in a wretched condition and the continuous pounding and racket that the cars make going over the loose rails, to say the least must be nerve racking and annoying to the residents living on this street, but we have the assurance of Mr. F. C. Wilkinson that new rails will be laid early in the spring from the monument to Broadway.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
SAUGUS, January 21, 1911. To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,- In submitting my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1910, I wish to state that while we have had a very busy year it has been a satisfactory one to all con- cerned, as the large amount of work by this department speaks for itself in the number of streets that have been resurfaced.
All of the road work done this season has been distributed through the town so well that it leaves little chance for criticism.
I would suggest that Main street be repaired this coming season, also Water street near the Wakefield line be looked after.
Broadway or the Newburyport turnpike has been put in good condition by the State the past season making a good road for driving, but it will need attention in the spring when the frost is coming out as it is springy in some places.
I recommend purchasing all the cinders for the sidewalks, as they make a good dry walk.
I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their impartial cooperation with this Department.
Respectfully submitted,
ANTHONY HATCH,
Superintendent of Streets.

Recommendation.
I would recommend that the sum of $6,400 be appropriated for police service for the year of 1911. I would also recom- mend the appointment of two more regular patrolmen-one for Saugus Centre and the other for Cliftondale, as I am receiving many complaints about the beats not being properly covered, and it is impossible for one man to patrol each of these two sec- tions of the Town. With this addition Pleasant Hills district could also be covered.
Conclusion.
In submitting my annual report I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for the support given me, also Judge Wil- liam E. Ludden and all others who have assisted me in the performance of my duties. I desire also to tender to the officers both regular and special my deep appreciation for their loyal cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES O. THOMPSON, Chief of Police.
REPORT OF Engineers of Fire Department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,-Your Board of Engineers respectfully submit to you their annual report of the year ending December 31, 1910. The Department consists of chief engineer and two assistant engineers, forty regular men, one call man, superintendent of fire alarm, three hose wagons, one. hook and ladder truck.
Apparatus.
The hook and ladder truck is in very bad condition. The ladders are in no condition to use. We recommend the purchase of a new combination hook and ladder truck in place of the one we are now using. The rest of our apparatus is in very good condition.
Fire Alarm System.
The fire alarm system is in good working order considering the condition of our wires which have been in service for the past eighteen years. The system will have to be overhauled this year and a large portion of it rewired.
Fire Alarms.
There has been during the year forty-two bell alarms, three still alarms and five second alarms.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS E. BERRETT, Chief. CHARLES L. PUTNEY, First Assistant. PETER A. FLAHERTY, Second Assistant.
