Once a week a special event was scheduled to make the . program more interesting. Such events were picnics, field day, inter-playground sports day, exhibition of playground handicrafts, kite day, and all star games.
A. new shelter was erected on the Stocker Street play- ground with the cooperation of the neighbors of that vi- cinity. Also the building on Bristow Street playground was repaired and the area generally improved. The roof of the Anna Parker shelter was put in condition and a portion of the play area graded.
Several large pieces of equipment have been purchased and will be ready for the 1950 season.
Mr. Fred Baldwin resigned after two months service and the Reverend Wilbur Ziegler was appointed to replace him. The Commission wishes to thank all Town officials, recreational leaders, and citizens who made our playground season a success.

Several interesting projects and some real progress in the development and extension of the work of the library have made this past year a satisfying one. The results of the continuous building-up process of library business are sometimes slow to appear in the statistical report, but this year's figures will present a concrete picture of real advancement.
About two hundred new borrowers have been registered for library cards. and the Main Library has. since the first of September, been open one additional ·evening in the week, so that we are now offering our patrons about fifty-six hours of library service every week.
The circulation figures for the current year show a gain of 4,200 over the same period last year. The majority of
£ this increase appears in the Main Library where the number of books circulated is about 2,100 greater than last year, although the three smaller branches, East Sau- gus, North Saugus and Lynnhurst will also present a no-
ticeable improvement. gain is in the use of juvenile books, Throughout the system, the largest which is gratifying since it would seem to show that the regular day-by-day attention which has been given to interesting the children in the library is achieving the desired result.
The publicity work of the library has been carried on rather more extensively this year, through co-operation with other civic and cultural groups of the Town. Special displays of books, posters and pamphlet material were ar- ranged for Boy Scouts Week and National Brotherhood Week in February, Civil Rights Week in November, and for the United Nations anniversary in January, at which time the librarian participated in a radio broadcast over WLYN, sponsored by the Saugus League of Women Voters. There have been book review programmes for various church and P.T.A. groups and for the Civic League, given by the librarian and Miss Huldah Blackmer. during the spring and fall. Some highly successful story hours were held during Children's Book Week in November by Miss Blackmer and Mrs. Phyllis
Brown at the
Main Library and at the Cliftondale branch,
and by Miss Ida Blossom at the East Saugus branch. Since the first of November, A Great Books Discussion Group has been held in the Main Library on alternate Tuesday eve- nings, under the leadership of Mr. Fred MacFee of Clifton-
37
dale and Mr. Paul Bowling of Malden. The members of this group have found the meetings stimulating and provocative. The North Shore Library Club, whose membership includes librarians from all of Essex County. held its fall meeting at the Main Library on November tenth. The speakers were Mr. Roland Robbins, archeologist of the First Iron Works restoration project, and Mr. Frederick Walkey, director of the De Cordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
The redecoration of the interior of the Main library, long needed and much desired, has finally been undertaken. The work is not yet completed but the adult reading room is nearly done, and the much lighter and more cheerful ap- pearance is commented upon by all who have visited the li- brary.
Mrs. Marjorie Walkey, who has been first assistant on our staff for the past six years, resigned September first to take a teaching position in the Saugus school system. . Her resignation was regretfully accepted, as her work with the High School students had done much to build up that
department. Miss Huldah Blackmer, our second assistant and Cliftondale branch librarian, was advanced to the po- sition of first assistant, and Mrs. Frances Sperry is now
acting as branch librarian of both the Cliftondale and Lynnhurst branches.
The resignation of the librarian, effective at the end of this year, has been accepted with regret by the Board of Trustees.
Saugus Public Library consists of 6 agencies: The Main Library and branches at Cliftondale. East Saugus, North Saugus, Lynnhurst and High School.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Earle W. Cousens, Chairman Hollis E. Hogle, Jr. George W. Pitman
During the year I have issued 370 plumbing per- mits which entailed 765 inspections, 69 permits for ice cream, 84 permits for milk, store licenses, 22 licenses for milk dealers, 32 permits to sell oleo- margarine, 178 permits to keep fowl and animals, 4 permits to collect butchers' waste material, 19 permits for the transportation of garbage, 238 per- mits for cabins and trailers, 118 burial permits, 2 for clam shucking houses, 3 pasteurization licenses 2 for the manufacture of carbonated beverages, 37 licenses to sell anti-freeze or alcohol, 19 drain layers licenses and 16 miscellaneous licenses.
Also I have collected 186 samples of milk and
cream. I quarentined 142 dogs that had bitten
people, picked up the carcases of 119 dead dogs, cats and miscellaneous animals, also located 83 new cesspools and 64 septic tanks and filter beds, 7 new, wells and condemned 3 wells and analyzed 15 wells for drinking purposes.
Conducted 27 dye tests on questionable drains, put up 9 "no dumping" signs, 209 inspections of piggeries and stables and places that applied for permits to keep livestock, received 137 garbage complaints. It was necessary for me to obtain 19 complaints in the local court for infractions and repeated violations of the Health laws. The court
upheld us in every case. Inspected the carcass of
13 animals as inspector of slaughtering. Re-
ceived and investigated 47 miscellaneous com-
plaints. Received and approved 47 new applications for entrance into the sewer system, also made a complete survey of every home in the Lily Pond sec- tion of the Town as well as the brook running from Vine Street through the field across Adams Avenue adjacent to Makepeace St. and to Central St. I have inspected stores, restaurants, and bakeries at least once a month and more often when conditions
39
warranted such inspections. It has been my duty to inspect sanitary conditions at trailer camp sites and cabins peri- odically during 1949. During the past year equipment has been obtained to start a more rigid check on the restau- rants and places dispensing food or drink to the public, by taking cultures of utensils necessary in the serving of food and drink.
I have turned in a monthly report to the Board of As- sessors which may be of some value in determining a change in valuations of some properties. Also I have given the Assessors a complete report of all cattle, horses, pigs, goats, etc. in the Town.
During the year I have made out and sent to the State all necessary reports as required by statute law. I have approved 7 infant boarding homes, rejected 2 homes, ap- proved 2 convalescent homes, and one hospital.
It has been my pleasure to have attended 7 conferences in the past year with the permission of the Town Manager, all involving matters of Public Health. I wish to thank the Board of Health and the Town Manager for their moral support which was a great help in the performance of my duties as Agent for the Saugus Board of Health, also all who have assisted me in the year 1949.

PROTECTION
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Henry P. Wheaton, Acting Chief of Police
The department, during the year. consisted of a Captain (Acting Chief), Lieutenant, twelve patrol- men, five reserve officers, and twenty special policemen. The officers classed as special police- men perform work on special occasions. During the year 594 arrests were made, 102 of
these arrests were for Out-of-Town Police Depart- ments. The 492 persons arrested for offenses com-
mitted in Saugus include: Manslaughter by negli- gence - 2; Rape - 2; Aggrevated assault - 7; Break- ing and Entering in the night time - 11; Larceny - 7; Other assaults - 15; Sex offenses - 11; Offenses against family and children - 6; Drunkenness - 132 (63 of which were released out of court); Vagrancy- 2; Driving under the influence of intoxicating li- quor - 30; Traffic and Motor Vehicle Law violations - 230; Suspicious person - 2; All others - 35. Of- fenses committed by children under 17 years of .age were not brought into court in many cases, and re- stitution for the damage they did was made by the parents of the children. Adults too were forced to make restitution by the courts for some crime or unlawful act committed by them.
Fines totaling $7,433.00 were imposed by the Judges of the Trial Justice, Lynn District, and Superior Courts of Essex County. There were 3875 complaints made to the police, and out of this number 753 required special invest- igation.
There are so many desperate criminals at large
today, including (thieves, sex fiends and armed robbers) that officers everywhere must be on the
alert at all times - one never knows where crime will strike next. Not only do we have the above- type criminal. but we do have individuals operating motor vehicles who drive like maniacs, and it £
is impossible to tell in what part of the town this will happen, nor at what time it will occur.
47
The quality of protection to be rendered to the resi- dents of Saugus can be explained by saying; "The police of- ficers will be diligent and watchful at all times".
The officers are placed. and the prowl cars used so as to give the residents and businessmen of the Town the protection they need.
Crime is like' lightning - nobody knows where it will
strike.
I wish to express to you, our Town Manager, and to the Honorable Board of Selectmen my sincere appreciation for the support you have extended to your officers and myself.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire Commissioners: Walter M. Badger, Chairman Joseph Krzywicki Laurence E. Richardson
The Saugus Fire Department under the capable direction of Chief George B. Drew, has been conducting a vigorous and determined campaign to prevent fires. As a result, the Town had only 10 fires during 1949 with a loss in excess of $1,000.00. Continued application along these lines is recommended.
Our equipment , consisting of two relatively new and efficient pumpers, one 32 year old ladder truck, and two old and inefficient pumpers. needs an intelligent replace- ment program. The Board of Fire Engineer's has such a pro- gram and has caused to be inserted in the Town Warrant. articles for the purchase of a Junior Aerial and Fog Unit. Continued delay . in inaugerating this replacement program is dangerous.
