Report of the Board of Selectmen
To the Citizens of Saugus :
Regular routine business has occupied a large part of the time of the Selectmen the past year. Hearings have been held and many complaints and protests investigated.
Several special town meetings have been held, which to the minds of the board would not have been necessary had the proper amounts of money been appropriated at the annual town meetings to meet the exigencies of the particular cases in ques- tion, and which sums were finally appropriated at the special town meetings. We recommend that this matter be given par- ticular attention at the proper time and place, namely, the annual town meeting, and thus avoid needless expense.
As in past years the board has paid particular attention to the highways, and the sum of $17,000 has been expended in resur- facing and treating with tar and peastone the main arteries of the town, and more miles were covered than in any year in the history of the town. The roads were in good condition for travel all summer and fall, and are standing up well. This work was carried out by the able and conscientious Superintend- ent of Public Works, Peter Haigh.
The sum of $8,000 was spent for a piece of permanent road from Eustis street down Essex street to the railroad track, and also 200 feet on Felton street, near Broadway, which roads were impassable last spring. This new road will eliminate any pos- sible recurrence of a like nature for years to come.
The sidewalks of the town are in a great many instances almost impassable, and should receive immediate attention. We recommend that $1,000 be appropriated for sidewalks this year, part of which sum to be expended in the making of cinder sidewalks, which have proved very satisfactory in many parts of the town.
The East Saugus bridge has been rebuilt entirely and was completed within the appropriation. The city of Lynn worked in conjunction with the town and the result is a permanent bridge, which will last for many years.

Miscellaneous
Complaints investigated, 172 ; doors found open and secured, 73; disturbances suppressed, 16; windows found open, and closed, 5; lights found in buildings, 10; responded to fire alarms, 17; automobile accidents, 80; officers reported 249 street lights not burning and notified the Lynn Gas & Electric Co .; miscellaneous cases investigated, 197.
I would recommend the appointing of one more regular patrolman in order that all beats may be covered during each officer's night off.
I would also recommend that a new ambulance be purchased to replace the new one now in use, which is very antiquated and does not answer to the qualifications of a modern ambulance.
These recommendations, if carried out would enable the Police Department to render service more satisfactory to all.
In conclusion, I wish to thank all persons who have assisted the department in any way during the year.

Report of the Board of Fire Engineers
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
The Board of Fire Engineers makes the following report for the year 1921.
The same efficiency has been maintained as in 1920 under the direction of Edward J. McTagne, Chief. We find that the only way to have efficiency is to have only one head at all fires.
We feel that the Seagraves Combination should be equipped with a pump. This equipment is recommended by the Board of Fire Engineers.
There have been 56 bell alarms and 98 still alarms during 1921. Because of the efficient work of the Fire Department, the loss was only the small sum of $7,000.00. Divided as follows : $4,000.00 for automobiles and $3,000.00 for buildings.
The smallness of the fire loss in the town is principally due to the quickness of the permanent men reaching the fires. We would recommend another permanent man for the department. The Board of Fire Engineers consider that the time has come when the department should be made permanent in all respects.

OVERSEERS OF POOR REPORT.
1921]
Report of Overseers of the Poor
Charities Department
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
Your Board of Overseers herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1921.
Out of our appropriation of $11,000.00 plus $630.15 trans- ferred from Surplus Fund, plus $49.50 refunds, totalling $11,679.65 for the year 1921, we have spent $11,671.22, turn- ing back to the town treasury the unexpended balance of $8.43.
We have collected from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $3,456.32 and from cities and towns $1,474.99 which, with the amount left from our appropriation, makes a total of $4,931.74 returned to the town treasury ; there are unpaid bills to the approximate amount of $1,000.00 which were not rendered to this department before the close of the financial year ending December 31, 1921 ; thereby making the net expense of con- ducting this department $7,739.91 for the year.
We recommend that the sum of $13,000.00 be appropriated for the year 1922.
Saugus Home
The Saugus Home, established nearly a century ago, has set a record for almshouses which is not likely to be equalled in this State, in that during the year 1921 the farm paid into the town treasury a profit of $2,373.19 The Saugus Home has been the most efficiently managed and the most profitable of any of the almshouses in the State for several years, but this year's record passes any precedent.
Credit for the highly honorable management of the Home is due to Karl Koch, keeper, and Mrs. Koch, his wife, who is the matron. They are rounding out 15 years of service at the Home, and during that time the poor of the town have been excellently cared for at a minimum expense to the town.
An appropriation of $12,500 was made for the expenses of the Home during the past year, and of this amount but $11,409.13 was expended, the remaining $1,090.S7 being
106

[Dec. 31
reverted to the town treasury. The total receipts of the sale of produce and milk from the farm were $13,782.32 or $2,373.19 more than the cost of conducting the place.
This farm is ideally located. The Tudor mansion, situated on the easterly side of the Newburyport turnpike, was purchased in 1823 by a committee composed of Dr. Abijah Cheever, Wil- liam Jackson, Joseph Cheever, Dr. Jesse Fox and Captain Jacob Newhall, for an initial cost of about $2,400.00. With the mansion was purchased several hundred acres of land which was converted to pasture and cultivation. The town formally took over the property on May 7, 1823, at 4 P. M., and Ebenezer Weeks of Lynn was the first keeper of the home.
During the last fifteen years that Mr. and Mrs. Koch have had charge of the home, the land has been carefully tilled and the orchards cared for. The buildings have been kept in repair and the inmates have received the best that was to be had.
During the past year there have been from five to thirteen inmates at the home. The average number for the year is given as six, and the oldest inmate is eighty-four years of age. The holiday dinners have always been appropriate and bountiful, and no reasonable requests are refused.
We recommend that the sum of $12,000.00 be appropriated for the year 1922.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners
The Cemetery Department has used its allotment of thirty- five hundred dollars ($3,500) for the care and betterment in the usual way, doing what betterment was possible with the limited amount at our disposal. The need of cement gutters, water ex- tension repairing avenues and grading new land calls for a much larger appropriation than has been allowed us in the past.
The income from the cemetery would warrant this, as is shown in our 1921 receipts, which amount to one thousand dollars ($1,000) in excess of the appropriation. The cemetery has grown in the past ten (10) years, more lots are under care which means more help and more expense. Twenty-two hundred and and thirty dollars ($2,230) have been added to the perpetual care fund. The total now being seventeen thousand seven hundred and ninty-eight dollars and ninty-one cents ($17,798.91) an increase of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in the last six years. Twenty-six (26) lots have been sold this year and there are forty-one (41) lots available at present. Another piece of land has been reclaimed and graded into lots at a value of three hun- dred and fifty dollars ($350).
