Report of Overseers of Poor.
Charities Department.
In presenting the above report the Overseers of the Poor realize owing to circumstances over which they had no control, the success of the past year has not been quite equal to that of the previous year. The increasing expenditures have been caused by the Mothers' Pension Bill, which took effect Septem- ber 1, 1913. This bill calls for aid to mothers with dependent children under 14 years of age for which the state reimburses the Town for one-third of the total expense incurred by the bill.
The Home has been managed in excellent manner and inmates well cared for, under the management of our warden and matron, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Koch, who are very efficient in these duties. The Board concludes this report by recommending that the sum of $8,700 be appropriated for the ensuing year which includes repairs on the Home building, insurance on personal property and salaries of the Overseers.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE H. AMES,
CHARLES W. BAILEY, ARTHUR C. CLARK.

Report of Selectmen.
SAUGUS, MASS., January 12, 1914.
In submitting to the citizens our report for the past financial year, we wish to state that we have at all times endeavored to work for the best interests of the Town in conjunction with the other boards. We express our great confidence in their ability and integrity. We wish to thank all who have helped with their advice and cooperation.
We have endeavored to be courteous at all times and to give all citizens having business with the Board a careful hearing, and where possible have granted their petitions.
Many improvements and changes may be desired, but all agree with us that we should never forget that what we desire and what we can afford as a town are two different propositions. We should all be guided by common sense and have only what we can afford, and not what we desire.
The Selectmen, after reviewing all the evidence in regard to the suit of the Town vs. United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of Baltimore, to recover on the bond of Joseph S. Meacom, and with the advice of the Town Counsel, settled the case for the sum of $4,000. In our judgment the Town was fortunate in recovering this sum, as it saved a long drawn out case in the courts and possible defeat in the end.
We consider the Highways one of the most important items in the Town expenses. Every energy should be directed toward improving them. With our limited finances and nearly seventy miles of streets, it can readily be seen that the work at best is slow. We recommend that the permanent road building begun at East Saugus last summer be carried along. Also that a few more cross walks be laid in different parts of the Town. About 700 feet of 15-inch drain pipe and three catch-basins have been put in on Lincoln avenue, from Charles Florence's up to Bristow street, and this takes care of all surface water and relieves a bad situation, leaving the road in good condition.
151
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
We recommend that the Town purchase a stone crusher and a street sweeper, the sweeper being of great benefit in cleaning the streets previous to oiling. In a comparatively short time the stone crusher will pay for itself.
The actions of the Board the past year have been unanimous and harmonious, and we have always had the welfare of the Town continuously in our minds.
GEORGE QUARMBY, WALTER SPRAGUE, H. M. FORRISTALL, Board of Selectmen of Saugus.
Assessors' Report.
The organization of the Board of Assessors for the year just closed has been the same as it was the previous year, up to November 17, the date of the resignation of Mr. E. L. Noera, and his consequent relinquishment of the chairmanship, which position he has held for many years with conspicuous ability and excellent judgment, the result of a familiar acquaintance with real estate values and a knowledge of application of same from an Assessor's point of view. His resignation was accepted and immediately a joint conference between the remaining mem- bers of our Board and the Selectmen was held, which resulted in the choice of Mr. E. K. Hayden to succeed to the Board to fill the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Noera. Upon reorganization of the Board, Mr. L. J. Austin was elected Chairman.
For the more substantial and important features of the work of this Board you are respectfully referred to the statistical reports herewith submitted, but they do not in any sense represent the labor that leads up to the preparation of them, for to hold mem- bership on a Board of Assessors in any municipality is far from being an office full of the agreeable things of life, but on the contrary brings one in contact with the stern realities of munic- ipal life, and invites criticism which is not always justifiable. The task imposed on an Assessor is one that calls for more than an average amount of patience and discrimination, good judg- ment and an ability to fairly and equitably fix values, with a view of placing the burden of taxes on the estates so that a just proportion of the entire levy shall always be maintained.
This has been our policy, and to the extent of our ability we have attempted to do this, and yet we feel that we have fallen far short of the standard that some may have set up for a Board of Town Officers to measure up to, and in common with the average of humanity are pregnant with faults and shortcomings.
We note here a change in the clerkship of our Board due to the voluntary retirement of Miss Annie M. Biffin on February 3, whose long and faithful service, together with her knowledge
153
ASSESSORS' REPORT
of the work calls from us and the community words of praise and commendation worthy of record in this report. Several applicants for the clerkship thus made vacant, appeared before the Board, followed by a careful examination and investigation of its requirements, and the request of Miss M. Louise Hawkes for appointment was favorably considered, and she was our unanimous choice and assumed her duties upon the retirement of Miss Biffin, and measured by the experience of the year just closed, our judgment and wisdom has been fully justified in this selection.
We also wish to record our appreciation of courtesies extended by the Selectmen and other officials of the Town, as well as its citizens generally whose good will we have on many occasions courted, and seldom failed to have received.

To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
I herewith submit to you my annual report for the year end- ing December 31, 1913. I have removed a number of dead trees in different parts of the Town, and a number of dead limbs, and also trimmed a great many young trees. I should recommend the sum of two hundred dollars for the care of Town trees this coming year, also one hundred dollars for setting out young trees. I also submit to you the number of trees I have sprayed for the Elm Leaf Beetle, which numbered seven hun- dred and eighteen, at a total cost of three hundred and sixty-one dollars and thirty-two cents. I should recommend the sum of three hundred and seventy-five dollars for spraying the Elm trees for the Elm Leaf Beetle the present year.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,- Your Board of Engineers respectfully submit to you their annual report of the year ending December 31, 1913. The department consists of Chief Engineer and two assistant engineers, two regular men, twenty call men, one sub call man, and Superintendent of the fire alarm system.
Buildings.
The buildings of the department are in need of repairs, both inside and out, which should be attended to as soon as possible.
Apparatus.
The apparatus consists of one auto combination, three hose wagons and one hook and ladder truck. The auto combination is in good running condition, the hose wagons are in need of some repair, the truck is in fair condition, but some of the ladders on the truck are in poor condition and should be replaced at once.
Hose.
We have about 4,200 feet of 22 inch hose, 2,000 feet of which is in good condition, and some of the balance being poor should be replaced the coming year.
Fire Alarm.
The system is in excellent working order at present, but the condition of some of the wire which has been in service twenty- two years warrants the Board in recommending that some of it be replaced with new wire.
Fire Alarms.
There have been eighteen bell alarms during the year and twenty-nine telephone calls.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED F. SACHSSE, Chief. J. WALTER NEWHALL, First Assistant ERNEST STUART, Second Assistant.

Report of the Forest Warden.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,- I submit the following report for 1913.
There were 42 fires during the past year and many of these were due to carelessness on the part of citizens who were burn- ing brush.
I wish to thank those who notified me before some of the fires had gained much headway.
The amount paid for putting out the largest fire was $13.90. The financial statement is included in the Auditor's report.
The appropriation was $300; of this amount, $144.15 was used. I would recommend that not less than $300 be appro- priated for 1914, owing to the uncertainty of the work as shown by the cost for the three preceding years : 1910, $193.48 ; 1911, $506.70 ; 1912, $557.30.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES L. DAVIS, Forest Warden.

REPORT OF Superintendent of Streets.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,- In submitting my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1913, I wish to state, that owing to the increased amount of auto and truck travel, it is impossible to keep the streets in the condition they should be, with the amount of money that is appropriated for the same. We are handicapped in our Town by having our villages so scattered, making such a distance to team our material while repairing. Also we have but two gravel pits, situated in the centre of the town, and one of these is not fit to use on the main streets, but does very well for the less traveled ones, and for sidewalks. I think, as I said last year, we should own a stone crusher. We could then use the large stones, which are now teamed to the dump, as useless on the road, and could also purchase other stones at a small cost, thus giving us better material for our streets.
I would say I have tried to keep the streets in as good condi- tion as possible with the means I have had to do with, repairing where I thought it most needed and most traveled. Another thing that drew on our appropriation this year was the increase of the men's wages to thirty cents per hour. (Although I think they should have it, I also think the appropriation should have been raised to cover it.)
Next year, I would recommend repairing Lincoln avenue, from Cliftondale square to the Revere line, a part of Essex street, and some work on Vine street. Main and Central streets, Birch Brook road and Lincoln avenue from Endicott street, should have something done on them too. Also a part of Ballard street is in bad shape, and work is needed in Oaklandvale and North Saugus. I would recommend a much larger appropriation this year, if we expect to keep our streets in decent shape for travel.
