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 hydrants are too few and far between.
In conclusion, we wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Superintendent of Public Works Department, Carl Chapman, Chief John T. Stuart of the Police De- partment, all the Town Officials, and the Citizens of Saugus, who, by their co-operation have aided this department to maintain a high degree of efficiency.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Report of the Forest Fire Warden
To the Honorable Board of Sel- ectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
I herewith submit the annual re- port of the Forest Fire Warden for the year ending December 31, 1942.
During the year 1942 there were
99 brush and wood fires, and 39 grass fires.
During the year 69,600 feet of hose was stretched and used to ex- tinguish these fires.
Respectfully submitted,
George B. Drew, Forest Fire Warden.
Report of the Superintendent of Public Works
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town Hall,
Saugus, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
The Public Works Department closed the year 1942 within its ap- propriations. Substantial balances were returned to the Surplus Ac- count amounting to over $2,000.00.
Ash Department
We have maintained the schedule of collections by this department during the year even though there has been a greatly increased amount of collections due to the various scrap and metal drives. Because of these drives the resi- dents have cleaned house and thrown away many years accumu- lation of debris. The former Sup- erintendent has in the past re- ported to you the necessity of pur- chasing a new truck for this work and we are now having many breakdowns. We must then take trucks and men away from High- way work in order to keep up the schedule. The town is growing, the area of our houses has in- creased due to war development. We will soon have to put this crew on a new schedule of collections for the entire week.
Engineering Department
Following this report you will find the report of the Town Engi- neer. In the appropriation for 1943, I have set up a crew of three men to accomplish the many jobs this department is called upon to do. The men not only do the work of the entire Public Works De- partment but for all departments in town on estimates and plans. They must keep constant check on the home developments of the town.
Highway Department
Due to war conditions the work of this department has greatly in- creased as has the work of all divisions of the Public Works De- partment. Roads must be main- tained. During the year it was necessary to erect a small mixing plant in the yard in order to mix patching materials. The many and almost constant breakdowns of trucks delay the work of this de- partment. It is time that the Town Meeting Members took notice of this fact and appropriated money to set up a Machinery Account for purchase of a new truck and equipment. Truck and equipment purchased should be standardized so that parts can be obtained easily and not have to wait many weeks to get them from some distant fac- tory. In 1942 we spent over $5,000.

for repair and maintenance of trucks. In 1943 we undoubtedly will have need to spend more because these trucks have outlived their usefulness.
Chapter 90 Work
There was no appropriation in 1942 for Chap. 90 Construction and there will be none for 1943. In 1942 the State, County and Town ap- propriations for maintenance work were well spent. The roads were in need of resurfacing and we were able to do a good job on many of them.
We should keep in mind the necessity of continuing to comple- tion the Hesper Street road to Lynn. This road has become one of the most heavily traveled in town and provides a quick route to West Lynn. When the State and County again appropriate for this purpose we should not only complete Hesper Street, but plan to widen and resurface Upper Cen- tral Street.
Snow and Ice Removal
This work calls upon the em- ployees for many extra hours of labor to enable our citizens to get to their work during snow storms. This winter the employees must do the work without assistance of ex- tra men. Most every able-bodied man is now employed in defence plants, therefore, do not appear at the yard for snow removal work. To date we believe we have done a good job and we will continue as long as we are able to keep the trucks running. The removal of snow is the easiest part of the work. The ice conditions are the worst to cope with. Trucks and men must be out most of the night to spread sand and salt to make the streets safe for people to use. There are approximately 100 miles of main highways, street, etc. that must be cleared. When you anal- yze this account please bear in mind that charged to it is the purchase of sand, salt, plow blades, parts and repairs to equipment and the purchase of shovels as well as the labor expense. Saugus will continue to receive the thanks of not only its citizens, but the citi-
zens of our neighboring towns and cities.
Resurfacing
In 1942 in order to obtain tar for resurfacing it was necessary to get a Certificate of Necessity from the Public Roads Adminis- tration. This certificate was sent to us late and we were unable to do all the resurfacing we had planned. In fact the last of the work was done too late in the sea- son to obtain the best results. The balance of the appropriation was returned to the Surplus Account. Our application for 1943 has been sent to the Public Roads Adminis- tration, therefore, we will be able to accomplish the much needed re- surfacing during warm weather.
Water Department
As usual the Water Department has had constant work during the year, doing all possible with the appropriation supplied for this purpose. We installed about 70 new services and renewed 100 during the year. At the present time there are about 350 meters out for re- pairs. Lack of parts and being unable to procure same until De- cember and the fact that our meter man was taken into the armed services has held up the repairs of these meters. They will be re- paired and reinstalled during 1943. At present any meters taken out are tested, repaired and installed. We are planning to make a sur- vey of all meters during 1943, also a survey of all unmetered houses. Meters will be installed in these houses and all owners of fixture accounts will be asked to purchase meters for installation where pos- sible. Old services are gradually being renewed to eliminate the manv repairs to same. Attached hereunto are the figures of the Water Department for a period of 6 years.
Sewer Department
With the exception to one repair job on an electric motor the Sewer Pumping Station has been operated at a normal cost for the year. Pumping costs can be lowered if a proper appropriaton is made to inspect the sewer lines and repair

all leaks that have developed. The line has been in operation for about three years and lack of sufficient appropriation has prevented us from doing this work. The W.P.A. Sewer construction crew, greatly diminished, were transferred to Car Rail Removal work for most of the year, therefore, the amount of our construction was small. Sewer pipe was laid on part of Kent Street and on Granite Court, Bond Place, Central Street and Main Street. For several months plans have been made for work on School Street, Grove Street, and Maple Street. We did not receive approval from the War Produc- tion Board for this work until af- ter December 31st. In the mean- time we received notice from the Works Progress Administration that all work in Saugus will stop on March 1, 1943. This depart- ment committed to the Town Tax
Collector for Sewer Assessments the sum of $3,999.71 and for Sew- er Rentals in the amount of $1,772.77 for 1942.
The following men entered the armed services of our country during 1942 and to these men we extend our thanks and apprecia- tion for the work they are doing and the wish for a speedy and happy return to Saugus.
James McCadden, Highway De- partment, Army, April 1942. Rob- ert Griffin, Highway Department, Navy, May 1942. John Marl- borough, Highway Department, Army, June 1942. Henry Hodgkins, Water Department, Army, Octo- ber 1942.
Very truly yours CARL E. CHAPMAN, Acting Superintendent.

Old Age Assistance is gradually increasing; grants in a great many cases have, by Statute, increased. Several cases because of increased earnings of sons and daughters of recipients have been reduced or closed but never-the-less it is to be expected that expenditures in this Division will have a tendency to rise.
We wish to express our appreciation for the cooperation received by this Department from other organizations and individuals in our effort to help the needy in our community.
Respectfully submitted,
