Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
SAUGUS, MASS., Feb. 7, 1912. To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,-I herein submit my Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1911. Being about six weeks late in receiving my appointment I was unable to do quite as much work as I should have liked. I have tried to give the Town as good service as possible and have spent the money where I thought it most needed. I found that the main streets were in very poor condition and was obliged to give them more attention than the streets where the travel was lighter but have done what I could on these. With about twenty miles of streets and con- sidering the amount appropriated to take care of them it is impossible to give all the attention they should have but by doing what we can and doing that thoroughly they can soon be put into good shape. The more important work done this year has been the grading of Central street from Parker to Walnut ; Winter street from Central to Chestnut and part of Lincoln avenue. Considerable work is needed in Oaklandvale and North Saugus but owing to the cutting of the Railroad Tax of $1, 100 I was unable to carry out the work. Would recommend that these sections be attended to another year. Also Walnut street from Lynn line to head of Birch brook and Central street to Felton School from the Centre.
Thanking the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation in the work of this department, I remain,
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL A. PARKER, Superintendent of Streets.

Tree Warden's Report.
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
I hereby submit to you my annual report of the year ending December, 1911. I have had to take down five large elm trees that were killed by Elm Leaf Beetle; four maple trees which died from some fungus. I have trimmed the trees in good shape on Jackson street, Myrtle street, Whitney street, Laurel street, Avon street and Bristow street, and several other streets where the trees needed trimming. I should recommend the sum of two hundred dollars for taking care of the Town trees this year.
I submit to you the number of trees I sprayed for Elm Leaf Beetle, which numbered seven hundred and thirteen, at an average cost of 51 4-7 cents per tree. Some of the trees had to be sprayed the second time on account of the heavy rain which came on before the poison was dry on the leaves. If it had not been for this the cost would have been less than 50 cents per tree. I would recommend the sum of three hundred and seventy- five dollars for spraying for Elm Leaf Beetle the present year.
Respectfully submitted,
T. E. BERRETT,
Tree Warden.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners.
We herewith submit for your consideration, the report of the Superintendent which is hereby made, our report of the condi- tion of the Cemetery Department.
HORACE H. ATHERTON, JOSEPH E. MEACOM, WILLIAM E. LUDDEN,
Cemetery Commissioners.
To the Cemetery Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN,-The appropriation for 1911was $2,500, the cost of building the wall at the blind-entrance was $80, leaving $2,420 to be used in the Cemetery.
The amount received was $2,890.20 and the difference be- tween the outstanding bills of 1910 and 1911 is $161.35 ; this should be added to the receipts, because that work was done in 1911, making a total of $3,051.55. Deducting $606.95 for lots sold, leaves $2,444.60, which is $24.60 in excess of the appro- priation balance of $2,420.
There are outstanding bills amounting to $23, leaving a profit balance of $1.60 plus. $248, balance of appropriation not spent ; which means that the Cemetery was self-supporting in 1911 ; and I think this is the first time it ever has been. While money received for lots sold is deducted from the receipts, the money received for single graves is not deducted, because the land could not be used until it was filled, and, because over $400 of the appropriation for 1911 was spent in filling this sec- tion, the Cemetery should profit by the sale of these graves, instead of the Town.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES L. DAVIS,
Superintendent.
