In closing, I make the following recommendations for the year 1930, that the Fire Department be increased by the appoint- ment of 6 men, additional permanent firemen, and 10 call fire- men, as the town has increased in building and population.
That a new and larger, modern, up to date Central fire station be built in the near future, to replace the old wooden building that is now occupied by the Fire Department, as a Central station, at the present time, which is a serious fire hazard, on account of being used to house motor vehicles in, and does not comply with the State Garage laws, rules and regulations.
It is also a health menace, as after rain storms, there is a con- siderable amount of water coming into the cellar, and leaves the building in a damp condition for several days.
That a new pumping engine of 600 gallon capacity be purchased.
That the fire alarm system be given a thorough examination by an expert electrical engineer, and have him report any and all defects and recommendations.
During the year the fire alarm system was badly crippled for several days, owing to a severe electrical storm, which burned out several fire alarm boxes, gongs, tappers and the punch register.
A fire alarm repeater was put into the station, under no obli- gations to the town, which may be purchased for a small sum. A new one would cost from $2,000 00 to $2,500.00.
That many of the fire hydrants that are set too low in the ground be raised so that the large suction hose may be connected to the 42 inch outlet of the hydrant in case of fire.
I wish to thank the Board of Fire Engineers for their splendid cooperation during the past year.
On November 16, there was a bad fire in an Asphalt and road material mixing machine at McDonough's stone quarry on Broaway, at which the Malden and Melrose departments responded and assisted in extinguishing. Water did not have any effect on the fire. The Melrose department sent their Foamite equipment and 450 pounds of foam composition which had very good effect towards extinguishing the fire.

Report of Forest Fire Warden
SAUGUS, MASS., December 31, 1929. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I hereby submit the annual report of the Forest Fire Warden for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The year ending December 31, has been a very busy one, there has been 99 brush and wood fires, at four of these I had to call upon the State Forest Fire truck for assistance to extinguish these fires which had burned deeply into the ground, during the extremely dry season the past summer.
The State Forest Fire equipment consists of a motor truck, on which is carried a portable pump that can be placed at any brook, pond or well and about 3,500 feet of I inch hose and other small fire equipment, and is housed at the Central Fire Station at Danvers, and is subject to call in any part of Essex County, for bad woods fires.
I have been fortunate in getting the service of the truck when I required it, if the truck had been in service somewhere else I would have been unable to hold the fires under control.
At these four fires 9,200 feet of 1 inch hose was used in con- nection with the portable pump to force water up hills to the place and seat of the fires.
During the year I have had to employ extra help at some of the woods fires outside of the four fires above mentioned the Fire Department has handled and extinguished all other woods and brush fires by use of hydrant streams, chemicals and water cans with pumps attached and kept full of water at all times ready for instant use, and with brooms.
There has also been 79 grass fires attended and extinguished by the Fire Department.
The Forest Fire Warden has worked at and supervised the extinguishment of woods and brush fires, approximately 126 hours, night and day.
Extra help at brush and woods fires was employed 245 hours.
Respectfully submitted, MELLEN R. JOY, Forest Fire Warden, Town of Saugus.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
1929]
Report of Library Trustees
The Trustees of the Saugus Free Public Library present their report for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The circulation has increased in the past year in about the same proportion as in the year previous.
During the past ten years the circulation of the main library has more than doubled. The circulation of the Cliftondale Branch is more than double what it was during the first year (1925) of its existence in the old Lincoln School. In the latter part of the year a branch was opened at the Mansfield School, East Saugus which is giving service to that part of the town.
As we stated in our report last year, the main library is not as large as it should be to enable the patrons to get the best use of the books.
We are asking for an appropriation this year, as we did last, so that a wing can be added to the present structure.
A book-plate has been made from a drawing by Mr. Ralph A. Woodfall, which will be placed in the front of all books that are donated to the library. Two hundred and thirty-five books have been given the past year.

Report of the Cemetery Commissioners
The special appropriation of $800 granted in 1929, made it possible to rebuild part of the wall on the western end of the cemetery. A further appropriation should be made in 1930 to complete this work which adds so much to the appearance of the cemetery from Winter street.
There are a large number of lots owned by people whose whereabouts are unknown and from which there is no present income. Considerable expense is involved in keeping these lots in shape that the general appearance of the cemetery may be kept attractive.
With the steady growth and increased work thereby made necessary it is impossible to carry forward the needed improve- ments such as cement gutters, drainage, and reshaping of old bankings without an increase in the regular appropriation for care and betterment. These gutters and drainage would aid much in reducing future washouts and attendant expense.
The receipts warrant a substantial increase in the appropria- tion. The records of Riverside Cemetery for many years show an income far in excess of expenditures, even including special appropriations for land, reconstruction of the two main gate- ways and other improvements.
The commissioners do not feel that the cemetery should be a source of profit to the town, and therefore feel that all receipts should be utilized for the continued improvement of the cemetery.
Through the generosity of the Hon. Benjamin N. Johnson, the commissioners were able to reconstruct the central walk, making it very attractive by plantings of evergreens and shrubs. This gentleman has arranged to continue these improvements along the wall on Winter street at its own expense. During the past year a hedge 200 feet long has been placed across the east end of the cemetery which in future years will add greatly to its appearance.

CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
1929]
OLD CEMETERY
The old cemetery, located at the corner of Main and Central streets, formerly belonging to the First Parish Church (Universalist), a deed of which the town in March, 1925, voted to accept from the Trustees of the church, is now the property of the town. The financial matters which came before the regular town meeting in 1929 having been satisfactorily arranged with the church, the deed to the entire plot was presented to and accepted by the Selectmen, on behalf of the town on February 3rd, 1930.
The Commissioners are asking for a small sum this year to clean up and grade the cemetery, and have hopes that eventually a proper enclosure, in dignity with its historical associations, will be erected.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Playground Commission
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
The Playground Commissioners make the following report for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The past year has been devoted to a constructive program which we hope can be continued. The following work was done :
STACKPOLE FIELD
This field again received the attention of a caretaker from April Ist to December 15th. Three hundred seats were erected in the form of portable bleachers which was of a great benefit to the schools as well as the citizens. This was the first year that an instructor was ever at Stackpole field, he had a very good attendance every day which is alone a very good reason why we should have an instructor and playground apparatus at all times. This field was equipped with the following apparatus: Six swings, six teeters and one slide.
The outfield was resurfaced with loam and seeded making the surface of the field equal to any other field in this section.
CLIFTONDALE PLAYGROUND
This playground is still in the process of being built, but was in no way neglected this past year. It was again found neces- sary to build more drains, which we believe has given us suffi- cient drainage for the present. This year it was found necessary to purchase about one thousand yards of rough filling to form the base for the baseball diamond which was covered with a top fill making a suitable baseball diamond which was used by many children. This playground also had an instructor who had an average attendance of over one hundred and twenty-five children. He had the following equipment : Six swings, two slides and six teeters.
In closing, we wish to thank The Lion Club who donated to the playground two slides which was enjoyed by the hundreds

of children who enjoyed the benefit of apparatus for the first time. The Women's Civic League paid the entire expense of instructor and also the cost of installing the bubble fountain in Cliftondale. We also are indebted to Mr. Lincoln Robbins for assistance in securing the different apparatus for the different playgrounds. We also strongly urge the purchasing of more playground equipment and of purchasing and taking any land that is available and suitable for playground purposes.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee and other Citizens of Saugus :
It becomes the duty and pleasure of your Superintendent to submit at this time his twelfth annual report of the conditions, progress, and needs of the schools of Saugus, the same being the thirty-seventh annual report of the School Department.
The Teaching Force
We are glad to report that a large percentage of our teaching corps has been retained; also that the successors of those who have left our service have done a commendable piece of work, in general.
It is our policy, generally speaking, to employ residents of Saugus who have been properly trained for the work and who otherwise meet our requirements, even though they may have had no actual experience in the class room. We have no reason at present to depart from this policy.
The following list shows the actual changes in our teaching force :
Ruth Anthony succeeded by Eleanor Batchelder.
Fred Beresford by Albion Rice.
Dorothy Eyre was transferred from the Sweetser School to Helen A. McDuffee's position in the Senior High School. Helen Cunningham was elected to Miss Eyre's position at the Sweetser School.
Fannie Spinney succeeded by Bernice Hayward.
Mabel Nelson was appointed Supervisor of Penmanship and was succeeded by Mildred Willard. .
Elsie Phillips resigned in March and was succeeded by Vera Wentworth.
Beatrice Armstrong was appointed to teach in the Central Junior High School.
Mrs. Mabel Edmands was transferred to the Oaklandvale School as principal and was succeeded by Elizabeth Mccullough.
Christina Bradley was employed to teach at the Felton School. Mrs. Inez Martin, no successor, room closed.

Cost of School Support
The expenditure for educational purposes has been moderate, notwithstanding an increase in the maximum for teachers, the opening of a room for retarded pupils and the employment of four extra teachers.
Per pupil cost for this year is somewhat smaller than the figure given, as we are turning back several hundred dollars. Your attention is called to comparative figures for 1927, '28 and '29, given below.

The Student Body
In general the cooperation between pupils and teachers is very commendable. We have noticed but few exceptions.
The best work can be done only when a spirit of friendship is maintained between the individual pupil and his teacher and between the teacher and the pupil's home. These three, working

together can perform wonders not only in furthering the academic education of youth, but in promoting moral and spiritual growth.
Everyday attendance at school should be the aim of every pupil. Parents are urged to give special attention to this import- ant matter-it may mean the saving of a year's time in the com- pletion of school work.
