BOARD OF SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


1922]


Report of the Board of Selectmen


To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :


The Board of Selectmen have held the usual number of meet- ings this year, and while routine business has occupied a large proportion of the time, many hours have been taken up hearing complaints, requests for water, and all the various matters that naturally comes before the board. Your board feels that on the whole the departments of the town have been conducted in a businesslike manner and believe that there has been a real effort made on the part of the department heads to keep within their appropriation. This is shown by the fact that it was necessary to hold but one special town meeting during the year, and this one would not have been necessary but for large demands on Soldiers' Relief and Overseers of the Poor. Even then it might have been avoided, had the Finance Committee had $5,000 instead of $3,000 in their reserve fund. The board would recommend an appropriation of $5,000 for the 1923 reserve fund.


Streets. With an appropriation of $25,000 and $8,000 of that for permanent construction, leaving only $17,000 for repairing and up-keep of all the streets in the town, the board feel that for the amount spent the town has very good roads. But $17,000 is not enough to take care of the streets of the town as they should be.


The $8,000 for permanent work was partly spent in finishing Felton street to Broadway, and work on other permanent sec- tions of the roads. Not enough balance remained to under- take any special piece of construction. An effort should be made this year to finish Central street to Lincoln avenue.


The $5,000 appropriation for Adams avenue was sufficient to do a good job on this street, and with a coat of tarvia each year should become a semi-permanent road.


Walnut street still remains a problem. The State and County not helping any this year, the $5,000 appropriated for this street still remains available. The board have visited the State

Highway Commissioner and the County Commissioners in an effort to get help in 1923. The road is unsafe and a disgrace to the town. Something must be done this spring.


Another thing that confronts us at this time is the entire inadequacy of the equipment of our Street Department. The steam roller is practically gone. It is an old style one and not able to stand sufficient steam pressure to be of service. It would cost $4,500 to repair it. It seems that a new road roller is a necessity, and we recommend the sum of $5,500 for the same. The Sandow Truck has proved itself to be indispensable and could not be spared from the work for a day. Another truck of 5-ton capacity should be added to the department, and it would seem to be in the interest of good business and economy to purchase a tractor at this time. This tractor would save the cost of a pair of horses in the summer and in the winter would be indispensable in caring for snow and ice. At the present writing the condition of our roads is all the argument one needs to see that a tractor is added to the department this year. We recommend $1,500 for a caterpillar tractor. We would recom- mend that $25,000 be appropriated for Highway Department and $10,000 for permanent construction.


Drainage. With the growth of the town the drainage prob- lem becomes more pressing each year. What to do with the water to protect property is going to be a big problem in this town some day. At present there are two places where this has become acute. First, Mountain avenue, Cliftondale. Here the water settles after a severe rain until it overflows the side- walk and adjoining property, filling cellars and becoming a nuisance. It will be quite an expensive job, but something must be done to relieve this condition. Second, Lincoln avenue adjoining the Sims' property. Here the water runs from Lin- coln avenue and adjoining streets over the Sims' property caus- ing damage and loss. To avoid legal action the town must take care of this condition at once. Articles are in the warrant to cover same.


Fences. After a careful examination it is estimated that $2,000 is needed to build and repair fences in dangerous spots along the roadway. This is a matter of public safety and should be attended to at once.


Sidewalks. With the small amount appropriated, it is only possible to maintain and repair a limited amount of sidewalks. We recommend that the sum of $1,000 be again appropriated for the department.


IOI


BOARD OF SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


1922]


Lights. It is the opinion of the board that the town is well lighted. A few new lights added each year brings this con- venience to more people each year. We are presenting for your approval this year a new contract with the Lynn Gas & Electric Company which we hope will meet with your approval.


Water. The demands for water continue to occupy a great many hours of the board's time, and a great deal of argument and discussion could be avoided by the adoption of uniform rules in regard to.water installations. There are a great many people who need and deserve water in town, but it is not a good investment for the town to lay the pipes. It is noticeable that the jobs where the returns from the investment is smallest were by vote of the town meeting and not sanctioned by this · board.


These are a few of the more important matters that confront the board at this time and we ask your thoughtful consideration of the same.

Today with auto thieves, drunken parties that menace lives and property of innocent persons, and other depredations com- mitted by the aid of automobiles, it is necessary to have every facility for rapid transmission of reports, in order to cope with them.


In conclusion, I wish to thank all persons who have assisted the department in any way during the year.

FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT.


1921 ]


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 1922.


The work of the department is increasing. During the past year there were 172 calls, or 18 more than the previous year. There were 55 bell and 117 still alarms. That the permanent department, managed as at present, is more efficient than a call department, is evident from the small losses in comparison to the value of the property endangered by fire. The losses to buildings and contents amounted to $6,755, while the value of the same was $124,400. The losses to automobiles, most of which were owned by non-residents, amounted to $8,635 while the value of these was $14,450.


In attendance at fires the apparatus made the following approximate mileage : Ladder 1, 279 miles; Combination I, 325 miles; Combination 2, 149 miles; Combination 3, 140 miles ; Auxiliary 1, 350 miles. At these fires 13,300 feet of fire hose were laid and about 2,500 gallons of chemical used.


One permanent fireman was added to the force at the central fire station, the Engineers believing that the permanent depart- ment was more efficient than a call department, and the num- ber of call firemen was reduced. There are now seven per- manent firemen.


Because the upkeep of Combination 2 was hign and its efficiency low, and because the hard runs which Auxiliary I was forced to make to woods and automobile fires, had worn this machine out, the Engineers deemed it for the good of the service to replace these machines with a modern chassis, equipped suitably for the handling of woods and automobile fires and sta- tioned at the central fire house. A Dodge 1922 chassis was secured, the body of Combination 2 fitted, chemical tank and other equipment added, and the town now has an efficient piece of apparatus, the value of which far exceeds the cost.


Since the housing conditions at the central fire station are far


108


TOWN DOCUMENTS.


[Dec. 31


from satisfactory for both men and apparatus, the Engineers recommend that repairs be made which will forestall the neces- sity of a new station. The erection of a new station is not to be had at this time for the Engineers believe that other pressing matters confront the town with the probable expenditure of large sums of money, but the central station in its present con- dition is not fit for the housing of the permanent department.


The Engineers also recommend that another permanent fire- man be added to the present force. This addition would allow for the proper manning of the apparatus. It is essential now that a motor pump be installed, and would cost but a comparatively small sum, since a number of call firemen were dropped from the force last year.

OVERSEERS OF POOR REPORT.


1922]


Report of Overseers of the Poor


SAUGUS, MASS., January 1, 1923.


To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :


Your Board of Overseers herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1922.


Out of our appropriation of $14,116.42 we have spent $14,013.23 turning back to the town treasury the unexpended balance of $103.19.


We have collected from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $4,311.69 and from other cities and towns $2,756.31, making a total of $7,171.19 returned to the town treasury ; there are unpaid bills to the approximate amount of $700.00 which it was impossible to get in before December 31, the close of our finan- cial year, thereby making the approximate net expense of con- ducting this department, $7,735.23 for the year.


Of the amount expended, $9,145.00 was for cash paid mothers with dependent children.


We recommend that the sum of $15,400 be appropriated for the year 1923.


Saugus Home


Our appropriation for the home for 1922 was $12,000.20, of which we have spent $11,352.13, turning back to the town the unexpended balance of $648.07.


We have received on account of the Home $10,704.57, mak- ing the net expense of conducting the Home $647.56. Owing to the rainy season and to the fact that the corn borer ruined most of the corn crop and that produce was a drug on the mar- ket, the Home was unable to show the usual profit maintained for several years past.


Warden and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Carl F. Koch resigned their position on account of poor health and we have appointed a new warden and matron, Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Felch who come highly recommended from Waverly where they have had several years experience.

In submitting our report for 1922 we feel that so little has been realized by the citizens from past reports that it is difficult to impress the real facts and conditions-but the time is now here when we must appreciate that 12,500 people scattered over eleven and one-half square miles of territory can no longer be cared for by an investment of $275.00 worth of time; there has been no increase in this so-called "salary" for twelve years while the duties have quadrupled ; regular inspections have to be made of dairies, bakeries, stores, and homes where children are boarded, while cesspools are giving increased trouble every year, this department receiving complaints constantly, while in the springtime it is almost impossible to keep up with them, so it can readily be seen that the amount paid for the Health Officer is a joke and is so considered by the State Department. We have been limited to $100.00 worth of clerk service, which is out of all reason ; there should be a portion of one of the town offices and the occasional services of the clerk of that office available for the health officer at such times as it becomes neces- sary ; we bespeak the support of the citizens in bringing about this relief, which is now becoming a necessity.


The amount of money expended in the Health and Sanitation Department has been less for this and the previous year than it has been for twelve years.


We already have legislation that enables us to care for emergencies but our unusually healthy condition is the result of preventive measures and prompt action. We are anxious to keep up this line of work and practice the prevention rather than the effort to cure.


Sixty-three dead animals have been removed from all parts of the town and disposed of; this done in 1908 would have cost $126.00.


The whole number of communicable diseases reported to this department has been 342 including 19 tuberculosis cases ; this

also includes 11 diphtheria cases ; 33 scarlet fever cases. Forty four nuisance notices were sent out in addition to innumerable complaints which were adjusted without having to send written notices. All these cases and complaints require at least two visits for each case before they are finally disposed of.


Under vital statistics, 145 deaths, 204 births and 102 marriages have been reported.


For further data appertaining to this department see report of the Plumbing Inspector ; report of the Milk and Cattle Inspector ; Vital Statistics, Collection of Ashes and Garbage, and Town Accountant's report.


Our general appropriation was $2,300 and we have spent $2,270.46 turning back to the town treasury the unexpended balance of $29.54.


The appropriation for vital statistics was $600 and we have turned back to the town the unexpended balance of $99.75.


Of our appropriation of $300 for the Inspection of Milk and Cattle we have spent $291 and turned back the unexpeded balance of $9; in each of the above departments there are some upaid bills which could not be procured until after the close of the financial year, amount unknown at the present time.


There are due, reimbursements amounting to $323.58 from the state and private individuals.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES E. LIGHT, Chairman, TOM D. EMMETT, Secretary, GEORGE W. GALE, Department Physician, Board of Health of the Town of Saugus.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners


Improvements this year have been :- Laying cement gutters, re-shaping unsightly banks on old lots and filling paths between deep banked lots. The restriction of one bed and one shrub to a lot is adding greatly to the general appearance of the ceme- tery. We hope to re-shape the west gate by recessing and planting shrubs in the spring.
