1937]
condition to continue. In the event of a serious fire at this building, which is entirely possible, we would be without means of registering alarms from the boxes located through- out the Town. We suggest that steps be taken to remove this. system to the new Fire Station where it rightly belongs and to be placed in a fire proof room.
Voting Places and Precincts
We recommend that all voting places now housed in private property be removed to property owned by the Town. We suggest the following :
Precinct 2 be removed from Odd Fellows Hall to the Sweetser School.
Precinct 3 be removed from V. F. W. Hall to either the Mansfield or the Ballard Schools.
Precinct 5 be removed from the Lynnhurst Clubhouse to the Lynnhurst School.
This would eliminate the cost of rent and cut the ex- pense of janitor service, a small but appreciable saving. We also suggest a redivision of voting precincts eliminating long journeys forced on many voters. We have people coming from Golden Hills to West Cliftondale, Saugus Center to East. Saugus and vice versa and from North Saugus to Lynnhurst. This should be corrected to give the voters some measure of comfort in casting the ballot.
We express our appreciation to the citizens who have as- sisted us in the past year and to Superintendent Merrithew of the Public Works Department, Mrs. Wilson and her as- sistants in the Town Clerk's office, Mr. Frank Murphy, W. P. A. Co-ordinator, the Board of Selectmen and the Town Counsel, who have all rendered valuable aid in the past year.

Report of the Public Works Department
To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Saugus, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
In submitting the report for the Public Works Depart- ment for the year 1937 it is a pleasure to inform you that for the second consecutive year all the departments within our jurisdiction have completed the year within their appropria- tions, with no unpaid bills to be carried forward into 1938.
The past year, 1937, was a particularly busy one. The outstanding projects consisted of the Newburyport Turnpike water extension, reconstruction of the Elm Street Bridge, re- construction of Dudley Street, and the surface treatment of fifty-seven streets. Details concerning these projects will be found under the proper headings in the following report.
In 1937, as in the previous year, we took advantage of the benefits offered under the Chapter 90 Act. Under the terms of this Act both the state and the county jointly share the greater part of the cost of constructing and maintaining certain town roads.
Local taxpayers will be interested to know that of a total of $15,500.00 expended for Chapter 90 work during 1937, $10,500.00 of it was appropriated jointly by the Com- monwealth and Essex County. The total sum was made up as follows :
Town $5,000.00
Essex County 3,500.00
Commonwealth 7,000.00
The work was accomplished under the supervision of men of our department with local help employed to do the work.
291
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
1937]
Of the total amount expended for Chapter 90 work in 1937, $8153.92 was paid to local labor and a large portion of the balance to local merchants for supplies and material.
On Walnut Street 4200 feet of car rails were removed and the street was widened an average of 10 feet for the en- tire distance. Necessary catch basins and drainage were con- structed for that length. It is hoped that in 1938 the remain- ing rails will be removed and the road reconstructed from Broadway to North Saugus square.
The work begun in 1936 on Woodbury Avenue was con- tinued for a distance of several hundred feet. Much of the work consisted of laying approximately eleven hundred feet of 10 and 12" drain pipe. Work on this project will be con- tinued in 1938.
Highway Department
Resurfacing
$5,000.00 was appropriated for resurfacing in 1937. All of that amount was expended for asphalt, tar, and other ma- terials. Labor connected with resurfacing was taken care of from the Highway Department appropriation.
Following is a list of streets which received surface treat- ment during the year 1937 :

Elm Street Bridge
For several years this bridge has been a source of trouble to the department, and from time to time it has been neces- sary to relay large sections of the planking. The underpinning was in such condition that it would have been necessary to entirely replace it.
In conjunction with the $1,000.00 which was appropri- ated in 1936, an additional $1,000.00 was appropriated at the regular town meeting in 1937, to which the Finance Com- mittee transferred the sum of $400.00, making a total of $2,400.00.
In the fall of 1937 the old wooden structure was replaced by a modern re-inforced metal arch culvert, capable of sup- porting an H20 load. The metal arch was set on concrete footing with head walls and wings of the same material. A. pipe rail fence was erected on each side as a safety measure.
The plans and specifications for this bridge received the necessary approval from the State Department of Public Works before the work was begun.
Ballard Street Bridge
This bridge has also been a great source of trouble in the past several years, and was unsafe for heavy loads. The hazardous condition which existed at this point was called to the attention of the Finance Committee by the Superintendent of Public Works.
In order to eliminate the hazard, the Finance Commit- tee transferred the sum of $798.00 to the Highway Depart- ment account. With this sum the old decking was replaced with one of new hard pine. Of the amount set aside for the purpose of rebuilding the bridge, $605.06 was expended for materials, and $192.94 for labor.
Dudley Street
$3,500.00 was appropriated for the reconstruction of Dudley Street. The work consisted of spreading from 6 inches.
295
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
1937]
tc 10 inches of gravel which was then penetrated with tar and hardened. Over this base a layer of pea stone was spread, which was in turn penetrated with asphalt, and rolled. All catch basins were raised or lowered to grade. Gravel sidewalks were constructed for the entire distance on each side of the street. Suitable warning signs were purchased and erected.
Collection of Ashes
The work of this department continues to increase each year. In previous years it has been possible for the crew engaged in this work to make their collection in approxi- mately three days. With the increase in territory it now requires four or more days each week. The present dump- ing places are as follows :
Saugus Center-off Appleton St. East Saugus-lower end of Bristow St. Cliftondale-lower end of Hurd Ave.
These dumping places are kept as clean as possible under the present appropriation.
Water Department
At the Town Meeeting, in the spring of 1937, a Bond Issue of $40,000.00 was voted for necessary water extension and relocations along the Newburyport Turnpike.
Of eleven separate projects for which this sum was voted, ten were completed. The eleventh one consisted of laying approximately 200 feet of 8-inch cast iron pipe for the purpose of making an emergency connection with the Metropolitan District water system. The City of Melrose agreed to such connection but the Metropolitan District Com- mission refused to consider it.
In the course of widening the Newburyport Turnpike the cost of relaying and relocating the existing mains was assumed by the State in their contract. This work was com- pleted under the supervision of both the State and Town authorities.

During 1937 several more large leaks in the water sys- tem were located and repaired, which resulted in a saving of several thousand dollars.
Comparison of Water Used in 1936-1937
No. of gallons used in 1936. 332,876,250 No. of gallons used in 1937 289,156,500
Savings in gallons used in 1937. 43,719,750 At $68.00 per million gallons this means a saving to the town of $2,971.00
The Superintendent of Public Works believes that not- withstanding the fact that a substantial saving was effected during the past year, a further and much greater saving can be made.
With such a saving in mind, it is recommended that the Town appropriate a sum of money in 1938 which will cover the cost of a survey of our entire water system.
Booster Pumps
During the summer months, when water consumption is at its peak, certain sections of the Town have little or no pressure. Such a condition is not only inconvenient to the taxpayers of these districts, but it is also a handicap to the Fire Department in the event of fire.
In order to correct conditions at these points it is recom- mended that automatic booster pumps be installed, one on Great Woods Road, and one on Walden Avenue.
Water Extension
During the year 1937 several water extension projects were completed.
On Hawkes Street, a W. P. A. water project, the line was continued to a point approximately 1,000 feet east of Broadway.
297
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

Work on the Shore Road W. P. A. project was suspended in the early spring because of lack of funds. Additional funds having been provided, work has been resumed.

In order that the hydrants in Town be kept in as good condition as possible we have continued the policy of check- ing them twice each year. Servicing and inspecting is car- ried on under the supervision of the water main foreman, Ernest Swett, and a man from the Fire Department.
Hydrant replacements have been limited by the appro- priation. There are still many hydrants in Town which should be replaced because of their age, and a definite sum should be appropriated each year to care for this situation.

SUPT. OF FIRE ALARM REPORT
1937]
2 Boy Scout calls.
1 Police call.
A total of 5585 blows on the system.
The two line failures, listed above, were both caused by road construction equipment in use on the Turnpike.
The three Gardner boxes which were classed as a defi- nite hazard by the Underwriters in their recent survey have been replaced by up to date approved boxes.
This department has had a busy year, due to the Turn- pike reconstruction and wishes to say "Thank you" here to the telephone company's forces under Mr. Bagley, and to the Line Department of the Lynn Gas and Electric Company, under Mr. Finnegan, for their unfailing cooperation and help, both in labor and in information.
We have some forty fire alarm boxes in service, which are the original group, placed about forty-five years ago. It is recommended that a program be started of replacing five a year with approved boxes, and also installing five additional boxes yearly. This program will rid us in about nine years of these obsolete and unapproved boxes now in use, and by the slow addition of the new boxes, protection will be given where badly needed.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed on equipping the available fireproof space in the new Fire and Police Building with a modern fire alarm office. The present equipment is overloaded and well-worn. The numerous fumigations it has undergone in its present far from fireproof location have not improved its condition. The space it now takes up is needed by the Engineering Department badly. A modern Central Station equipment would permit changing the "Time" of the system from 2 seconds to 1/2 second, which would reduce the present time required for an alarm to be recorded to one-fourth of the present time. (Box 27 now takes 311/2 seconds to register once; on 1/2 second time this would be only 73/4 seconds.) A new Central Office is strongly
