Report of Board of Selectmen
Economy consistent with ef- ficiency and the best interests of the Town has been the policy of your Board of Selectmen in the past year. There are many views as to what constitutes real economy in government. Some feel that the curtailment of certain functions of government is in line with econ- omy. Others argue that to curtail the departments drastically would not be economy but, instead, would be a deprivation of many necessary services of government which the people demand and should have. It is true today, more than ever be- fore, that government has become the administration of numerous services, all of which, if carefully managed, serve the welfare and best interests of the citizens. To deprive the public of necessary pub- lic services is not economy; to serve all with the things which we feel are essential at the lowest possible cost consistent with good judgment
is our idea of conservative eco- nomical government.
Transportation has been a major problem confronting your Board in the past year. For many years there has been a demand for better service to and from Boston. To gain this, members of your Board have spent many hours appearing before various governmental bodies to secure passage of the petition of the Hart Bus Lines, Inc., of licenses to operate to the City of Boston. They have been successful. The company's new line has been in operation since December, 1938.
The value of this line to the peo- ple of Saugus is unquestioned. It has not only cut down the running time from Saugus to Boston from one hour to thirty minutes or less, but it has eliminated the necessity of the citizens of the Town wait- ing in cold and bad weather for buses. Patrons are now delivered' to and taken from warm subway
167

stations. As a result of the line, Saugus Center now has 15-minute service. Saugus has become a sub- urb of the greatest metropolitan city in New England. Its growth within the next decade to a point far beyond its present population and valuation is assured by this im- provement in transportation and other factors under way.
Your Board has also been dili- gent concerning the needs of those travelling to Boston from North Saugus and other outlying sections. They have petitioned the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway com- pany to provide the same price range to the people of these sec- tions to and from Boston as grant- ed to citizens of other sections of the Town. The Board of Public Trustees of the road has witnessed the equity of this request and it has been granted. A 25-cent fare to and from Boston to all sections of the Town has been granted.
The problems of the hundreds of our citizens working at the General Electric Company has been recog- nized. They, too, are entitled to consideration, and your Board in granting the Eastern Massachusetts a license to operate over Ballard Street coupled with it a request that the new license be utilized by the company to grant service direct to the River Works and West Lynn works from both Cliftondale and Saugus Center. This matter is now pending before the Board of Public Trustees and the Board of Select- men plans to wage this battle to the limit. The Board has asked for a five-cent fare on this route and in- tends to prosecute this request to the limit.
Your Board is still vitally in- terested in transportation. It in-
tends to do all in its power to bring about even better service and to give to sections of the Town not now receiving service benefits of such a nature. The inevitable growth of the Town in outlying sec- tions will make this an actuality in a short time. In the meantime, we must consolidate our gains. Cit- izens are urged to utilize all of the new lines serving Saugus and thus justify your Board in its efforts in the Town's behalf.
Your Board feels that the cit- izens understand that this year's tax rate of $46.00 is not due to any fault of ours, but to tax abatement judgments against the Town due to excessive illegal valuations, to tax abatements, to higher state and county taxes and to pensions for the extension of Old Age benefits. With the last-named, your Board is in sympathy.
Your Board is interested that a clean-cut representation of the problems, aims and achievements of our W. P. A. Administration should be brought clearly before the cit- izens and has taken steps to this end by preparing schedules avail- able to all. The Board has been complimented by the Federal W. P. A. agencies on the work and has been told that our W. P. A. accomp- lishments are "outstanding" in this state.
Your Board has had the courage to act impartially, and for the Town's best interests on the licens- ing questions coming before it. The Board feels that its integrity and sincerity on this question cannot be doubted.

169
BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEER'S REPORT

of Essex received $620.00. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts received $40.00. The Town of Sau- gus received $181.55. Fines taken in Lynn District Court, payable to County of Essex $2380.00 from the Lynn District Court. Total amount taken in fines by both Courts is $3,475.
At this time I want to call your attention to the fact that your de- partment is very much undermanned and should be increased, but under the present tax rate I am not going to ask for this increased appropria- tion for any additional officers, but what should be done is an ap- propriation made for a sum not to "exceed $3000.00 for a two-way radio, this I consider one of the most important steps in economy
and efficiency. Radio is now being installed in nearby towns with gratifying results.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the several Town Officials, and all other citizens of the Town who by their co-operation and good will aided me in maintaining the high degree of efficiency that the Police De- partment ranks. I also want to thank the Hon. Judge Charles E. Flynn for his co-operation during the past year. Last, but not least, I want to thank all the members of the Department for their part in keeping the efficiency of the de- partment at a high standing.
Respectfuly submitted,
JOHN T. STUART, Chief of Police.
Report of the Board of Fire Engineers
January 1, 1939. To the Honorable Board of Select-
men and the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
We herewith submit the Annual Report on the personnel, condition, and activities of the Fire Depart- ment for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1938.
Roster
Chief, William R. Salsman. Captain, George B. Drew.
Lieutenants, Ralph E. Berrett and Joseph L. Maguire.
Permanent Firemen, John Mc- Laughlin, Alfred Bird, Warren Newhall, George Parrott, Guy Col- lins, Robert Jacobs, Harold Atkin- son, Albert Jervis, Norman Hull, Leo Cahill, Frank Beckford, John Ward.
Call Firemen, Lewis O. Gray, Frank Garofano, W. Randolph Popp, Fred Chesley, Lewis Rich- ardson, John Cahill, Arthur Gus- tafson, Leslie Hitchings, Peter Walzer.
Board of Fire Engineers, William S. Rockhill, Chairman; Edward Gibbs, Paul A. Haley, Clerk; George H. Quarmby, William R. Salsman.
During the year 1938 the Fire Department responded to 435 alarms and calls for fires and other
duties. There were 81 box alarms and 354 telephone calls, 32 of which were followed by box alarms to call the firemen to duty. Thirty- two of the alarms were false or needless.
On September 3, 1938, the Fire Department purchased a new Mc- Kesson Resuscitator. In the short period of time in which this ma- chine has been in this department it has been a great asset to the Town of Saugus. This machine re- vived and saved the lives of six persons and there were four other cases in which the patients had died before the arrival of the Fire De- partmnt. We believe that this ma- chine has more than paid for itself since it has been in service.
The apparatus traveled a total of 1,979 miles in responding to calls: Engine No. 1, 171 miles; Engine No. 2, 469 miles; Ladder No. 1, 430 miles; Tender No. 2, 909 miles. The Chief's car traveled 12,295 miles in responding to alarms and in the performance of other duties.
The assessed valuation of build- ings, autos, trucks, the insurance on buildings, automobiles and their contents, etc., were as nearly as could be ascertained as follows:
Assessed valuation of buildings, autos, trucks, etc., $134,145.00.
170
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Loss on buildings, motor vehicles, etc., $11,175.00.
Insurance on buildings, etc., $80,600.00.
Insurance paid for losses on buildings, etc., $3,595.00.
Estimated value of contents, $54,- 375.00.
Loss on contents, $2,550.00.
Insurance on contents, $19,800.00.
Insurance paid for loss of con- tents, $1,132.00.
During the year 11,850 feet of 21/2-inch hose, 9,550 feet of 11/2- inch hose, 61,500 feet of 3/4 -inch hose was laid and used at fires, a total of 82,900 feet. 46,650 feet of the above hose was used at brush and dump fires. A total of 912 feet of ladders used. There was 25 tanks of oxygen used. The department was called out of town once, to the fire at the Lynn Gas & Electric Co.
Alarms and Calls by Month for 1938
Bell Alarms: January 3, Febru- ary 2, March 10, April 9, May 12, June 2, July 6, August 2, Septem- ber 9, October 10, November 5, December 11. Total 81.
Telephone Calls: January 14, February 23, March 54, April 61, May 34, June 13, July 27, August 13, September 27, October 29, No- vember 25, December 35. Total 354.
Monthly Total: January 17, Feb- ruary 25, March 64, April 70, May 46, June 15, July 33, August 15, September 36, October 39, No- vember 30, December 46. Grand total 435.
The fire apparatus, Engine No. 2, and Ladder No. 1, and the G. M. C. Tender are in fair condition and good for many years to come provided they do not meet with ac- cidents. The Oldsmobile sedan, the Chief's car, is in good condition. Engine No. 1, the Seagraves pump- ing engine, is very old and showing
signs of needed repairs that will be very costly as it is very unreliable and in the past few years has had several costly repair jobs done on it. We recommend this engine be replaced with a new pumping en- gine.
The Fire Department has done. excellent work in keeping the fire loss down to such a small amount. (approximately $13,700.00) when it is noted that the department must cover a large territory near- ly 111/2 square miles, and do so with a small number of men to man the apparatus and extinguish fires.
In closing, we make the follow- ing recommendations:
We recommend that the program calling for the installation of new hydrants every year be continued as there are several parts of the Town where the hydrants are too few and too far between.
We recommend the taking of a parcel of land in the Cliftondale section of the Town as a site for the erection of a new fire station.
We recommend that 1000 feet of 21/2-inch hose, 500 feet of 11/2-inch hose and 300 feet of 34 -inch hose be purchased.
In conclusion, we wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Superintendent Ernest Merrithew of the Public Works Department, Chief John T. Stuart of the Police Department, all the Town officials and the citizens of Saugus, who, by their co-operation have aided this department to maintain a high de- gree of efficiency.
