The Committee also believes the town would do well to insist that the land developers should not only lay out the streets, but lay the sidewalks and care for the expense of laying water mains.
Conclusion
In view of the time spent by this Committee in carefully con- sidering the budgets of the various departments and the articles

TOWN DOCUMENTS®
Report of Public Works Department
I beg to submit herewith the annual report of the Department of Public Works, of the Town of Saugus for the year 1924.
Division of Highways
In view of the fact that the expenditures for automobiles has increased eight times as fast as the appropriations for highways, throughout the country, the maintenance problem is an ever increasing source of anxiety and cost.
We have in Saugus many miles of streets carrying very heavy and an always increasing amount of traffic, and the maintenance problem can be solved best in these cases by permanent con- struction.
Walnut street was completed to the Newburyport turnpike this year making a connecting link from Lynn, and thereby sav- ing considerably on the amount of maintenance cost both by the permanent construction and the fact that automobiles will use that street in preference to dirt roads.
Lincoln avenue, one of our main traffic arteries, and very much overloaded for the present type of construction, was partially removed from the maintenance list by seven thousand square yards of permanent construction, from the Revere line to Central street. This construction should be carried to Morton avenue, this next season and also a section on the Westerly side of the avenue from Franklin square to Washington square.
About seven hundred and fifty square yards of permanent construction was laid in Monument square, and the entire square should be completed in 1925.
Howard and Main streets from Melrose to tbe Newburyport turnpike were reshaped and graded and given two treatments of tarvia and crushed stone, and with some annual maintenance will carry the traffic for several years. Main street should now be taken out of the dangerous list by the removal or ledge, and then the necessary road construction on the easterly side of the Newburyport turnpike.
119
PUBLIC WORKS REPORT.
1924]
Streets previously treated with tarvia were again covered and the use of crushed stone rather than sand has increased the life of surfacing, in the face of increased automobile traffic.
Streets where the traffic is not as heavy were treated with asphaltic oil and for the most part were not covered, the street surface absorbing the oil rapidly.
During 1925 the section between Lincoln avenue, and Essex street, and the Revere line should should be tarviated and covered with crushed stone.
There are a number of places in the town where the drainage problem is serious, and these will have to be taken care of as soon as possible. Two conditions were relieved this year which were very bad.
A drain was laid on Morton avenue, connecting with the drain laid in 1923, to carry off the water at the junction of Morton and Lincoln avenues and another drain was laid on Central and Castle streets to carry off the water at the junction off Castle and Mountain avenue.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. J. LUMBERT, Superintendent of Public Works.
Division of Water
New construction in Saugus has increased the work of the Water Department materially, as is clearly shown by the fact that one hundred and seventeen new services were laid this year, as against 41 new services during 1923, and one hundred and forty-six meters installed. Water extension was made to the extent of eight thousand two hundred and seventy-two feet.
That part of the Revere system lying in Saugus was pur- chased this year and connected with the Saugus mains, the water being turned on November 13, from the Saugus side at which time the Metropolitan Water Division shut their gate at the Saugus-Revere line.
In connection with this system extensions were laid on Main street to a point about three hundred and fifty feet west of Mitchels corner and about six hundred and fifty feet on Howard street. These lines should be extended several hundred feet more in each direction.
One of the worst fire hazards in the town of Saugus is the old cement lined pipe of which we have several miles. An ap-
120
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
propriation of not less than one thousand dollars should be made each year, to defray the cost of replacement, the work to be started at East Saugus square and proceed along the main streets.
A machine for tapping the main lines was purchased this year which affects a considerable saving. It illiminates the loss of water due to cutting main lines and divides the labor cost almost by two, and most important of all, the fire hazard created by open water mains and closed water gates is entirely removed inasmuch as the entire work is completed with the mains under pressure. The machine more than paid for itself this year, when the connections for the Revere system were made. Millions of gallons of water were saved and a continous water service maintained on a sixteen inch main more than two miles long.
It will be very much to the advantage of the town to have all water services metered and this should be completed in not less than five years. This should mean an expense of about two thousand, five hundred dollars per annum, during the five years, but the water now being wasted would soon pay for the meters and the meters would insure control of the water supply which means a direct saving on the water purchase appropriation.
There should be not less than nine new hydrants located on Vine and Main streets, which should be connected with the main pipe, purchased this year from Revere.
Many streets in Saugus have been filled and regraded since the hydrants were originally set and consequently the steamer nozzles are too close to the ground or street surface to be pro- perly used by the Fire Department. A special appropriation should be made for this work.
As a matter of increased efficiency and service, there are a number of dead end water mains that can and should be con- nected to other mains to establish a grid or circuit.

Superintendent of Public Works.

FIRE ENGINEERS' REPORT.
1924]
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 ending December 31, 1924.
The work of the Fire Department has decreased considerably during the year, compared with 1923.
During 1924, the department has responded to 203 calls, or 77 less than the previous year.
There were 54 bell and 149 still alarms, of these 35 were false and needless calls.
The department responded to 13 automobile fires, 107 grass, brush and wood fires.
There were two calls from out of town for assistance one from Lynn, and one from North Revere, at which this depart- ment made an excellent showing, and was highly commended for its services.
One life was lost, that of an infant, at a fire during the year, owing to a delay in calling the fire department, and the distance and condition of the going.
The department is very efficient for the small number of men in it, and is greatly undermanned.
On January 1, 1925, the department will be placed under the two platoon system, and there will be great need for more men to handle fire which might occur, the time for men is at the beginning of a fire, and before it has made any great headway.
The value of property and buildings endangered by fire during the year amounted to $53,330.00 the loss by fire to buildings amounted to $10,718.00. Total insurance on buildings amounted to $76,207.00, insurance paid on buildings was $8,076.00.
The value of contents involved at fire amounted to $14,820.00, loss on contents $4,595, insurance on contents $7,700. Insur- ance paid to this date, $1,500 as far as could be acertained.
The apparatus is in good condition, it has stood up wonder - fully well, and had some very rough usage, in traveling over very rough roads.
128
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
The department is well equipped and has done excellent work with the small number of men assigned to manage the apparatus.
The Dodge Combination has had the roughest kind of usage of any of the apparatus, in responding to grass and wood fires, and on roads which seemed almost impossible to travel on.
Miles covered by the apparatus in responding to calls are approximately as follows :
Combination No. 1, Seagraves 291 miles
Combination No. 2, Dodge
Ladder No. I 585 miles
278 miles
During the year 7,900 feet of 22 inch hose was used at fires. 5,800 feet & inch Chemical hose was used, and about 1,455 gallons of Chemical fluid was used in extinguishing fires.
There were 253 feet of ladders raised at fires.
The housing conditions and living quarters for the men at the Central fire station are very poor, and far from being satis- factory, the building is a fire trap and a fire hazard, if a fire should ever get started in the building it would be almost impossible to tell what would happen.
The old Ford combination truck has been turned over to the Department of Public Works.
In closing, I strongly recommend that four permanent men be appointed at once to bring the department to a more efficient condition, owing to one half of the members being away at a time on the two platoon system.
That a modern up to date fireproof Central fire station be built for the housing of the members, and the valuable fire apparatus, a building which would comply with the State Garage laws and regulations.
Respectfully submitted,
MELLEN R. JOY, Chief.

LIBRARY TRUSTEES' REPORT.
1924]
Report of Library Trustees
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
The trustees of the library submit the following report.
During the past year the room in the basement of the central building has been equipped with tables and chairs so that it can be used for talks on educational subjects. There are also cases in which articles of historic or educational value can be dis- played.
The expense of this was met by the fund left from the pageant given a few years ago and which was utilized for this purpose by the Board of Trade.
A branch library and reading room has been opened in the Lincoln school building and is much appreciated by the Clifton- dale residents of the town. The average circulation is about. 200 volumes per week.
The circulation of the main library for the year was about 24,000 volumes and there are 16,600 volumes in the main library and various branches with 25 magazines in the reading · rooms.
One thousand one hundred dollars was expended for books the past year and $150 for painting in the main library.
It will be necessary to expend about $250 this year in paint- ing the interior and exterior of this building.

CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
1924]
Report of Cemetery Commissioners
During the year 1924 the east and west entrances to the cemetery have been re-shaped and enlarged. A metal archway has been placed over the west gate and the Commissioners have under construction a similar archway to be placed over the east gate. A Ford truck has been added to the equipment of the Department.
The Perpetual Care Fund has been increased during the year $3,200.00.
We are pleased to report that the number of internments during the year has been less than normal.
The cemetery has never been kept in better condition than during the past year, and we believe that the persons who have visited the cemetery or done any business with our superin- tendent appreciate the result of his efforts. As long as the Commissioners are permitted to expend the income of the cemetery, improvements will continue to be made as in previous years.
Mr. Ward Perkins, chairman of the Commissioners, died December 23, 1924. He had been a member of the Commission many years, and gave unstintedly of his time to the affairs of the Department.
