Finance Report
Lyman E. Sproul Bertrand D. Westendarp Henry H. Calderwood Arthur W. Anderson Frederick F. Flaherty Robert G. Ballard Norman Driver Richard Downes J. Lowell Goding
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Since its inception on February 16, 1948, the Finance Committee has held thirty-seven regular meet- ings and has maintained complete records of the proceed- ings. As well as the regular meetings, various sub-com- mittees have been appointed from time to time to make special investigations and reports to the entire commit- tee.
This committee has endeavored to function in a legal, businesslike, dignified manner, and has operated without bias or subservience to any individual or group of individuals. The best interests of the town as a whole has been the only factor in the making of decisions. Dif- ferences of opinion have been settled by gentlemanly de- bate within the committee rather than by publicity which may be detrimental to the Town.
On May 17, 1948, at the request of the Town Manager, this committee passed the following resolution: "That upon request of the Town Manager, the Finance Committee shall make necessary investigations and act in an advisory capacity in such matters as the Town Man- ager may desire." The Town Manager has met with us upon numerous occasions and we have fulfilled this re- quest to the best of our ability. It is the unqualified con- viction of the committee that our Town Manager, Mr. James F. Shurtleff, has done an excellent job in the con- duct of Municipal affairs and has effected the savings of many thousands of dollars for the Town of Saugus.
The reduction of $30,000. in the Final School Budget for 1949 is a commendable display of co-opera- tion on the part of the School Authorities. It is the hope of the Finance Committee that the other Departments of the Town will reduce their Budgets similarly, so that a nominal Tax Rate may be realized for the year 1949. These reductions can be made without curtailing serv- ices to the taxpayers or without sacrificing necessary im- provements. A substantial amount of money would still be available for water extensions, street re-surfacing, and other improvements.
A low tax rate for the Town of Saugus at a time when all surrounding Cities and Towns are facing an increase in their tax rates is certainly conducive to encouraging more home building within our Town. The consequent increase in revenue for the Town would then allow larger undertakings for Municipal improvements. It is the advice of this Committee that the Town follow a "Pay as you go" policy rather than to become burdened with large Bond issues.
The Budgets for the year 1949 have been care- fully studied by this Committee and the recommendations made as contained in the printed copies of the Budgets. If these recommendations arefollowed at the Town Meet- ing, the Town of Saugus will enjoy a tax rate not in excess of $39.50 for the year 1949.

Infirmary
The Infirmary was closed on May 3, 1948. The inmates were transferred to the Lynn Infirmary, result- ing in a substantial saving to the Town, exclusive of the present rental of the Infirmary property and the potential earnings to the Town for this exceptionally valuable prop- erty. At present there are 3 Saugus inmates at the Lynn Infirmary for which the Town pays $15.00 per week.
Aid to Dependent Children
During 1948 there was anaverage of 22 cases aided at a cost of $20,162.87 for an average of $84.00 per month per case. Of this average cost per month per case the Federal Government paid $28.50 and the State $28.00, making the Towns cost $27.50. Total net cost to the Town $10,206.14.
Old Age Assistance.

Tree and Moth Report
George L. Pearce, Supt. TREE & MOTH DEPARTMENT
The department pruned, shaped and removed dead wood from trees in all sections of the Town.
The Massachusetts State College reported 2 cases of Dutch Elm Disease in Saugus. These will be re- moved to preventfurther spread. Our Elms were sprayed with 15 per cent solution of D.D.T. by a Mist Blower, an innovation in this Town. This method is far superior, doing a fine job faster and cheaper.
A power saw was purchased for our depart- ment. Trees formerly taking days to remove are now re- moved in a matter of hours.
There were no Gypsy Moths, Brown Tail or Tent Caterpiller infestation during the year. The only pest showing any increase is the Fall Web Worm which is not classed as a leaf feeder, but only an eye-sore.
Our department was called upon to do many varied jobs this year such as painting traffic lines, pub- lic flag poles, etc.

Fire Departments Report
Laurence E. Richardson Walter M. Badger Joseph Krzywicki Commissioners
FIRE DEPARTMENT
During 1948 the Department responded to 77 box alarms and 314 telephone calls. Of these only 10 were for fires having a loss greater than $1000.00 each. The loss on the buildings, motor vehicles, etc., totaled $19,686.00, while the loss on the contents totaled $36,400.00.
Appointed in June, the Board of Engineers fac- ed the immediate establishment of the 48 hour work week.
Believing that the department could make bet- ter use of its fire alarm facilities, the Engineers have had installed tappers in the homes of permanent firemen, who were not previously so equipped. The Fire Alarm System hasbeen adjusted so that tappers in the firemen's homes sound simultaneously with the alarm. Response to alarms has improved.

Playground Report Rev. Ernest Pearsall Doris J. Driver Frederick Rockett Commissioners
PLAYGROUNDS
The Commission, appointed in June, takes this opportunity of assuring parents of Saugus that it will
be our earnest endeavor to provide suitable, supervised playgrounds for our children in the future. Because of our limited budget it is necessary that we progress slow- ly but in the right direction. Cooperation from the parents is all that we ask.
The following play areas were opened in July for a seven-week season: Stackpole's Field, Anna Parker, Bristow Street, Stocker Street, and the Lynnhurst school- yard. Each playground had the supervision of one or two recreational leaders. Softball teams were organized and enjoyed in the playground games. Many took part in the arts and crafts program as well as the beach parties and pet shows. At the close of the season a party was given to all children who had attended the various play areas during the summer.
Our playgrounds are very poorly equipped at present even though the enrollment reached 1000 young- sters. From this figure one may deduct that with equip- ment and other interests the playgrounds in Saugus will become a summer time haven for most of its young in- habitants.

THE ATHENIAN OATH
WE WILL NEVER BRING DISGRACE TO THIS OUR CITY, BY ANY ACT OF DISHONESTY OR COWARDICE. NOR EVER DESERT OUR SUFFER- ING COMRADES IN THE RANKS; WE WILL FIGHT FOR THE IDEALS AND SACRED THINGS OF THE CITY, BOTH ALONE AND WITH MANY; WE WILL REVERE AND OBEY THE CITY'S LAWS AND DO OUR BEST TO INCITE A LIKE RESPECT IN THOSE ABOVE US WHO ARE PRONE TO ANNUL OR SET THEM AT NAUGHT; WE WILL STRIVE UN- CEASINGLY TO QUICKEN THE PUB- LIC'S SENSE OF CIVIC DUTY, THUS IN ALL THESE WAYS WE WILL TRANSMIT THIS CITY NOT ONLY NOT LESS, BUT GREATER, AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN IT WAS TRANSMITTED TO US.
