In the 1937 report it was recom- mended that a start be made to-
ward replacing the forty-odd sub- standard boxes in service. Four were replaced during the year, and more will be changed to a standard type as funds permit. Seven new locations were equipped with boxes, which is a start toward proper coverage and protection for the lives and property of our residents.
Quoting from the 1937 report, "Too much emphasis cannot be placed on equipping the available fire-proof space in the new Fire and Police Building with a modern fire alarm office .. . " This is still true, more so, in fact, as another year of deterioration has taken its toll as well as 5,577 blows in 1938 (5,585 in 1937).
A new central station will per- mit quicker operation of all alarm equipment which will help the Fire Apparatus to get away to the fire (or drowning) more quickly. It would also permit the installation of Mutual Aid circuits, which would operate for protection to the entire town, and make for a decrease in the insurance rate. Mutual Aid offers our town greatly increased protection in case of fire, and de- serves close consideration.
Every effort is being made to equip and maintain our alarm sys- tem according to the 1935 recom- mendations of the Underwriters, so that when all departments meet these requirements, a geenral re- duction of all fire insurance in the town can be expected as well as en- abling the Fire Department to pro- vide a better protection to each person living in the town.

Supt. of Fire Alarms.

The Retirement Board has made the first investment
as shown above in U. S. Treasury 23/4 % Bonds after serious consideration of present investment conditions. Although the yield from this in- vestment is 234% and the interest payable to members on their ac- cumulated deposits is 3%, we feel that as custodians of this trust fund that safety should be the first and
uppermost consideration. In view of the uptrend in general business conditions, we also feel that the in- vestment market will show im- provement during 1939 and shall, if possible, invest in securities which will bring our average investment income to 3% or more.
The accounts of the system were audited as of June 30, 1938, by the State Division of Banking and In- surance and the Board was com- mended on the excellent manner in which the system had been set up and operated. In adjacent cities and towns extra clerical help has been hired to operate the Contribu- tory Retirement Pension System, but the entire books and records of our system are still operated by the Accounting Department with a resulting savings of approximately $1800 per year to the Town of Saugus.
In administering the affairs of the system we have borne in mind our trust to the members, retired members and the people of Saugus and have attempted to serve them to the best of our abilities. We wish to thank the department heads and employees for their co-operation with us in the continued successful operation of this system:
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH QUIRK, Chairman; WILLIAM H. ROBINSON, Secretary; RAYMOND P. CLARK.
Report of 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, 1938.
Few things of unusual interest have confronted the Board this year.
Tuberculosis care has increased considerable this year. This is largely due to the vigilance of the Public Health Nurse in discovering early cases by having contacts X-rayed. While the cost of care in- creased this year, much suffering, life and expense will be saved in
the future. To quote from the Board of Health report for the year 1936: "Future wealth and happi- ness in adult life depends entirely on nature's most priceless posses- sion-good health, which in turn de- pends on prevention and proper care of disease in childhood and adolescense."
The licensing of overnight cabins has turned a considerable amount of money into the Town Treasury.
On June 4th the Board appointed from the Civil Service list a per- manent Plumbing Inspector and also a Sanitary Inspector.
175
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
1938]
For several years the Board has tried to impress the citizens with the constantly increasing necessity of a sewage system. In the past few months this has become a real- ization and the future progress in installation will improve the un- sanitary conditions now existing. This will increase the work in the Plumbing and Sanitary Department many times.
There has been an unusual num- ber of dog bites this year mostly by unlicensed dogs and in many cases we have been unable to locate the dog. In such cases the State re- quires the local Board of Health to furnish Anti-Rabic treatment. Un- fortunately, the county does not re- imburse the Town on the treatment
of bites by unlicensed dogs. Some provision should be made by the proper authorities in Town to take a dog census and have all unli- censed dogs either licensed or dis- posed of.
We have been in conference with the State Department of Public Health several times in the past year relative to the nuisance result- ing from stone dust from the stone crusher on Broadway, and have made considerable progress.
Respectfully submitted,
RICHARD J. SPENCER, Master Plumber;
LEROY C. FURBUSH, M.D .; JAMES A. CLARK, M.D. Saugus Board of Health.
Report of Department of Public Works
Dec. 31, 1938. To the Board of Selectmen, Town Hall, Saugus, Mass.
Gentlemen :- In submitting the report of the Public Works Depart- ment for the year 1938 it is again a pleasure to report that all depart- ments under our jurisdiction have completed the year with no unpaid bills.
During the past year several very necessary projects were completed, i. e., the removal of car rails and ties and the reconstruction of Lin- coln Avenue from Cliftondale Square to Charlotte Road; the re- moval of rails and ties from Win- ter Street from the high school to the junction of Winter and Chest- nut Streets; the completion of the reconstruction of Walnut Street from the Newburyport Turnpike to North Saugus Square; the continu- ation of Hesper Street, and several water extensions which will better serve the residents of the districts in which the mains were installed.
Approximately 50 streets were treated with asphalt and then covered with pea gravel under the appropriation for resurfacing. The work of widening Central Street was begun at a point just above the mills.
Several hundred yards of ledge and fill were removed and used for fill on the opposite side, and a cable guard rail was erected on the bad curve.
3466 feet of six and eight-inch main pipe were laid bringing our total of main pipe in town to 47.86 miles. Several main breaks were repaired with a minimum of incon- venience to residents. Seven new hydrants have been installed in new locations; five have been re- moved and over fifty have received repairs of major or minor propor- tions.
A more detailed report by depart- ments follow.
Respectfully submitted, ERNEST A. MERRITHEW, Supt. Public Works Dept.,. Town of Saugus, Mass.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The duties of the Highway De- partment are many and varied. With this department lies the re- sponsibility for the proper main- tenance of the Town's approximate- ly 125 miles of accented and unac- cepted streets. Keeping the streets, and sidewalks as far as possible, open during the winter months; patching and repairing them, con-

[Dec. 31
· structing new ones; building, re- pairing, and cleaning catch basins and drains; sanding and salting dangerous intersections, etc., dur- ing inclement weather; erecting suitable street and warning signs, and assisting other Town depart- ments in their work are only a few of the functions of the Highway Department.
Regular functions of the depart- : ment have been attended to inso- : far as our limited means allow.
Space in the Town Report being "limited, we shall mention only a few of the major projects upon - which work has been completed.
Wakefield Avenue - 550 feet by 20 feet reconstructed.
Waldon Pond Ave. - 900 by 25 feet reconstructed.
School Street - Chapter 500, : gravel.
Lincoln Avenue - Chapter 500, reconstructed.
Lincoln Avenue - 16,750 feet car rails and ties removed.
Winter Street - Car rails and ties removed.
Central Street - Widened, brush, trees, ledge, etc.
Johnson Road - 250 feet of 12- inch drain was laid.
Cement sidewalks on Central Street and Lincoln Avenue were re- paired.
High Street - New catch basin for storm drain.
Culvert - Central Street oppo- : site Saugus Theatre repaired.
CHAPTER 90 WORK
Walnut Street: From Broadway to North Saugus Square. Car rails and ties were removed and the street was reconstructed for a width of approximately 14 feet the entire distance.
Woodbury Avenue-Hesper Street -The reconstruction of this street continued. Permanent paving was laid for a distance of 700 feet. Ex- cavation, fill, necessary drainage, etc., has progressed to a point near Alder Street. Much ledge must be removed before more pavement can be laid. Work on removing the ledge, is continuing through the winter months in order that the new surface can be laid in the early spring.
Chapter 90 Maintenance-Wal-
nut Street, Water Street, Main Street and Howard Street received a coating of tar and pea gravel. In addition, fences were replaced with cable guard rail, minor drainage problems were corrected, shoulders and slopes were graded and rip rap walls were constructed where necessary.
COLLECTION OF ASHES
During the past few years sev- eral attempts have been made to lay out a schedule for the collec- tion of ashes and rubbish, in order that residents of the Town might know when to put such rubbish out for collection.
For many reasons an exact schedule is practically impossible. For instance, we have only one truck and crew for the work. The annual appropriation for the col- lection is sufficient to allow for only three days during the summer months and four during the colder seasons. The quantities to be picked up vary greatly from week to week, depending somewhat on the weather conditions. During stormy weeks, collections are small which naturally means that the following weeks will be heavy.
If it were possible that every resident would put his ashes and rubbish out weekly, in quantities that varied but slightly from previ- ous weeks, then it might be that a regular schedule could be laid out from which each property owner could determine exactly when a collection would be made.
Allowances must be made for weather conditions and quantities, as well as a territory which has been considerably increased during the past year or two.
Questionnaires sent out early in 1938 to some 38 cities and towns of the approximate population of Saugus resulted in the following information :
No collections of any sort, either by means of town equipment or by contractors are made in the follow- ing cities and towns: Braintree, Concord, Danvers, Easthampton, Ipswich, Natick, North Adams, Reading, Westfield.
Free collections of ashes and rub- bish are made by the town in:
Methuen, 3453 homes, at $14,000.
177
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
1938]
9 men employed (average).
Saugus, 3500 homes, at $5,000 per year. 4 men employed (average).
Collections by contractors :
Belmont, 7500 homes at $23,500 per year.
Newburyport, 3480 homes, at $9,000 per year.
Swampscott. 2811 homes at $13,- 000 per year (inc. garbage).
Stoneham, 2000 homes at $2,500 per year.
Southbridge, 2446 homes at $2,- 000 per year (inc. no business col- lections).
In several other towns, Andover, Norwood and Wellesley, rubbish and ashes are picked up by private collectors who are paid directly by the residents at the time the col- lection is made.
Remarks
This department is sincerely de- sirous of giving the taxpayers of Saugus, efficient and ample service with the means at hand. At pres- ent, with three dumps situated, one in Cliftondale, on Hurd Avenue, one on Central Street for Saugus Cen- ter, and one in East Saugus on Bris- tow Street the crew is averaging better than nine loads per day.
In order to reduce the time con- sumed in traveling to and from the dumps a larger truck and body is necessary and will be requested this year under the regular appro- priation for the collection of ashes.
WATER DEPARTMENT
Pressure and supply of water has been increased in some sections of the Town during the past year, which has reduced to a great ex- tent the number of complaints formerly received from those locali- ties because of poor pressure and inadequate supply.
In one section of the Town, after numerous tests had been made, it was found upon digging up a main gate valve, that at the time the valve was originally installed some ten or more years ago, the main had not been tapped to allow the full quantity of water to enter the newly laid main. The location and correction of this source of trouble has eliminated the necessity of carrying water to takers in that neighborhood for the two or three
months in the summer when con- sumption is the greatest.
During the past few years the number of excess water bills has increased greatly. Excess charges are a source of annoyance to prop- erty owners who in most cases have no knowledge of the excess use of water. In the great majority of cases it is found upon investiga- tion that leaks are or have been present, many of them of such small proportions that they re- mained un-noticed by the resident.
The department is hampered to some extent due to lack of suffi- cient equipment to make positive tests in all cases of excess use. It does, however, in those instances where the overcharge is much above the average, make a chart which clearly indicates the time and the quantity of water that is used over a twenty-four-hour period.
Property owners of the Town should understand that they are paying $10.00 per year for a maxi- nium of 6666 cubic feet of water over the period of one year. Water used in excess of that amount must be paid for by the user at the rate of 15 cents per 100 cubic feet. If property owners with excess charges desire to question such overcharge they should do so as soon as possible after receiving the bill. Unpaid bills are now liened twice each year. Such liens result in increased charges to the proper- ty owners.
It will probably surprise most Saugus property owners to learn that our water rates are among the lowest in the state. We fre- quently hear that other towns or cities in our vicinity are about to reduce their rates. Investigation usually shows that their current rates are far above our Saugus rates.
Early in 1938 we sent question- naires to some thirty or more towns and cities in the state and received the following information:

Report of Plumbing Inspector
January 9, 1939. To the Board of Health, Saugus, Mass.
Gentlemen: It is my privilege, as Sanitary Inspector and Inspector of Plumbing for the Town of Saugus to submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1938.
Permits issued for plumbing 247
Inspections 1482
Old Buildings 173
New Buildings 207
Cesspools 78
Complaints investigated 81
Fees paid to Treasurer for plumbing permits, $250.50.
I wish to bring to your attention the increase in the number of per- mits issued for this year over the previous years. In 1936 the num- ber of permits issued was 101 and in 1937 there were 126 permits is- sued. This is due to the strict en- forcement of plumbing ordinances.
I would also like to bring to your
attention the fact that during this year three plumbers were reported to the State Board of Examiners of Plumbers for violations of Town . Ordinances; and 76 attempted vio- lations were stopped with a warn- ing that further attempts at this practice would result in their be- ing punished in the court.
I spent considerable time with the Superintendent of Sewers fa- miliarizing myself with the loca- tions of sewer lines which should be most valuable to this depart- ment.
