Report of the Board of Health
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
The Board of Health herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1937.
The past year has been one of marked progress in the history of the Board. Each year the requirements of the State Department of Public Health are being raised to a higher level. This together with the ever changing and in- creasing population brings heavier burdens on the local Board.
The sanitary conditions in some of the overnight cabins, road side stands, places where alcoholic beverages are served, soda fountains, restaurants, lunch bars etc., have been found very poor. With the cooperation of the Board of Select- men in with-holding licenses, these poor sanitary conditions have been corrected, but constant inspection is necessary and must be continued by the Board of Health. The By-Law adopted at a Special Town Meeting and approved by the At- torney General covering overnight cabins and trailers is a wise step in the right directon.
