MANAGER HAS RESPONSIBILITY
Under the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Acts of 1947, which is the Town Manager charter under which the town of Saugus operates, the construction and maintenance of public buildings, including their design, are the responsibility of the Town Manager.
He, and he alone, has the ultimate responsibility for every transaction connected with the letting of contracts, supervision of work, and all of the countless other details associated with the planning and construction of this new school.
There is nothing in the provisions of Chapter 17, or any other law, however, which denies the Town Manager the right to be guided in his actions by the advice of those, who, in his judgment, are equipped by training, experience, or public-service interest, to lend such assistance.
An analogy might be found in the oath administered to the Governor of the Commonwealth. He is sworn to defend the Constitution and faithfully administer all the laws of the State.
No one expects, however, that the Governor will personally perform all of these multitudinous duties of his office without the aid and assistance of persons who he designates to act in his name. He, as Governor, retains in his own hand complete re- sponsibility for their actions.
Prior to the action of the Town Meeting in authorizing the new Saugus High School, the Town Manager publicly announced that he intended to name an advisory committee to assist him in all phases of the work.
Pointing out that as Town Manager he was already con- fronted with a multiplicity of tasks and responsibilities as the chief executive officer of a community of over 18,000 people, he said that the detailed work of assisting him in planning and building the new plant should be vested in a committee of com- petent citizens.
CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
"This is not my building," he said. "It is the High School of all of the people of Saugus. I believe in the democratic process. I think that with an Advisory Building Committee working with the School Committee and Parent-Teacher Asso- ciations, able to give the time to the project and willing to un- selfishly devote themselves to this task, that the people of Saugus will obtain the best possible High School plant to be erected with the funds available."
Some two months after the Town Meeting action, the Man- ager, on his own initiative, and after carefully screening the field, executed a contract with S. W. Haynes & Associates of Fitchburg as architects and engineers for the new High School.
A few weeks later, the Town Manager asked the five mem- bers of the previous Town Meeting Investigating Committee, who had been discharged of their duties at the time the school was voted, to form the nucleus of his new Advisory Building Committee, and added four additional selections of his own choice.
None of the nine citizens notified of the Manager's decision had sought such designation. All of the nine, and particularly those who had previously served for a year on the Investigating Committee, knew that it entailed literally thousands of hours of work for a period of up to three years. They were aware that they were to serve in a purely advisory capacity and that the Town Manager could, at any time, either disregard their recom- mendations, or abolish their positions. In more than a year of service, however, neither contingency has occurred.
The nine citizens were also mindful of the fact that in a democratic society their only hope of reward would be the satisfaction of their own conscience. They knew, further, that all mortals err, and that they, too, when such human errors occurred, must expect to face hostile criticism.
To this Advisory Building Committee, Walter E. Lawrence, Town Manager, appointed two representatives of the School Committee, Dr. John L. Silver and Miss Alice G. Blood; Mrs. Mary F. Wass, a prominent Parent-Teacher Association leader; Stanley J. Piwowarski, Francis S. Mascianica, the Rev. Wilbur C. Ziegler, pastor of the Cliftondale Methodist Church; Principal John A. W. Pearce of Saugus High School; Joseph T. Hess, and Paul A. Haley.
The Advisory Committee organized with the choice of Mr. Haley as chairman and Miss Blood as secretary. Superintendent of Schools Jesse J. Morgan was unanimously chosen as its edu- cational consultant.
The Advisory Committee early made it known that it had but two objectives in consenting to assist the Town Manager in the successful completion of this most costly and important project in Saugus' 325 eventful years.
"We intend to obtain the best Senior High School it is possible to build within the appropriation," they said, "and we intend that every penny of the taxpayers' money expended shall be in the interests of providing the finest secondary school education the people of Saugus can give their youth."
This is still their goal!
PACKAGED SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL PLANT WHICH WILL GIVE SAUGUS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN SYSTEMS IN NEW ENGLAND is provided in this perspective of the new Saugus Senior High School to be erected on a 23-acre plot off the Newburyport Turnpike. Construction has been started by the low bidder, the Vara Construction Com- pany of Boston.
The picture shows only that part of the area to be used for the actual school, with the running track in the left foreground pointing the way to the stadium to be located eventually in the area near the Main Street overpass of the Turnpike.
Designed in the contemporary manner by S. W. Haynes & Associates of Fitchburg, the sketch shows the gymnasium near- est the north-bound lane of the Newburyport Turnpike. It is flanked by the administration wing, with a classroom wing stretching back into the fields now constituting an apple orchard. To the left is the auditorium with seating for 1170 persons and surmounted by a dome.
To the left of the auditorium is a cafeteria with capacity for serving the eventual 1200 pupils expected to use the school, and behind the auditorium is another classroom wing. To the far left are the shops for woodworking, metalcraft, and automobile re- pairing.
The school, which will be entirely fenced from the Newbury- port Turnpike upon which it faces, will have classroom space for 970 students under optimum seating conditions and facilities de- signed to accommodate up to the peak anticipated load of 1200.
The educational and construction specifications and plans were the result of almost a year's constant study by Town Man- ager Walter E. Lawrence and members of the Saugus High School Advisory Building Committee, aided by Jesse J. Morgan, superintendent of schools, as Educational Consultant, and the complete co-operation and efforts of all department heads and many instructors and maintenance men at the present Saugus High School.

Saugus Marches Ahead Educationally

TOWN ACCOUNTANT
IS THE BILL CORRECT TO THE LAST DETAIL? IS IT AUTHORIZED BY THE PROPER OFFICIAL AND APPROVED BY THE TOWN MANAGER? Are there sufficient funds in the department's appropriation to permit its payment ?- These are just a few of the countless questions Saugus' Town Accountant Carl E. Chapman, shown, left, checking his vouchers, must answer to keep the town's financial transactions in such a manner as to biennially win the high praise of State Auditors. Courteous, efficient, with a vast experience in town government, Mr. Chapman served with distinction as Acting Town Manager several years ago during a vacancy in the office. He is flanked by his efficient staff, center, double-checking on the adding machine, Ethel M. MacNeil; and right, one of the town's veteran faithful employes, friendly and courteous Mrs. Mildred M. Furlong. Faced with mountains of paper work, plus the need for meticulous care, this finely integrated team is over-worked, but never lets the tension interfere with its goal of fine public service.
REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCONTANT Carl E. Chapman December 31, 1953
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 61 of the General Laws, I herewith submit, to the citizens of Saugus, the annual report of all business transactions by town officials and departments, and a statement of the financial condition of the municipal government for the year ending December 31, 1953.
TOWN INDEBTEDNESS
The bonded indebtedness on January 1, 1953, amounted to $864,000 for capital investments. During the year the sum of $64,000 was paid out for maturities. The 1952 Town Meeting authorized a $2,180,000 bond issue for school construction and $25,000 for sewer construction as part of the new High School plans.
In 1953 the Town Meeting authorized $75,000 for water bonds and $240,000 for sewer and drainage bonds. This Town Meeting rescinded the 1952 authorization for $25,000 sewer bonds. A total of $2,495,000 was the accumulated authorization. Thèse, bonds were issued in 1953. A total of $3,295,000 in bonds was outstanding as of December 31, 1953.
In 1952 $30,000 was borrowed for old age assistance as a temporary relief loan. This was paid in December 1953. This money was borrowed under the provisions of Chapter 108 of the Acts of 1951.
TEMPORARY LOANS
In 1953 it was necessary for the 'treasurer to borrow $400,- 000 temporary loans in anticipation of tax revenue. The notes were issued in March, April and May and were repaid in Novem- ber and December 1953. There were no outstanding loans on December 31, 1953.
TAX TITLES AND TAX POSSESSIONS
A total of $46,652.90 held by the treasurer on tax titles was brought forward from 1952. To this amount was added $10,462.10 by the collector in 1953 for unpaid taxes and by the treasurer through land sales. The redemptions, land sales and tax title disclaimer lowered this to $42,795.39 by December 31, 1953.
A total of $121,039.49 for tax possessions was brought forward from 1952. This was reduced by $5,820.33 realized from the sale of lands by the selectmen. Foreclosures taken by the treasurer increased the amount to $121,451.92 as of December 31, 1953.
EXCESS AND DEFICIENCY (SURPLUS)
A total of $190,126.72 for surplus revenue was brought for- ward from 1952. At the 1953 Annual and Special Town Meeting the following sums were transferred by vote to departmental appropriation or special articles.
To Central Street Land Damage $ 4,000.00
To Tax Title Foreclosure
4,800.00
To Lynnhurst School-Bituminous Area
3,000.00
To Six Street Acceptances 60.00

Miscellaneous
1,759.41
Total Addition
$53,132.54
A total of $208,601.05 was carried forward to 1954 as a surplus in the Excess and Deficiency Account.
GENERAL
The estimated receipts for 1953 as set up from the asses- sors recapitulation sheet amounted to $694,005.73 but the ac- tual receipts were $20,514.44 short of this figure. This is the cause of the deficit in the revenue account transferred to the surplus account.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend that in 1954 the many unexpended balances on special articles be processed to the completion or if these balances are not to be used, that the Finance Committee recom- mend transferring them as available funds to 1954 requests.
STATEMENT:
Much has been said or written relative to the reimburse- ment by the State School Building Commission on the cost of con- structing the Veterans' Memorial School. Payments for work on this project were still being made up to September 1953. There is a dispute as to final payments, if any, to be made. All material that could be located was submitted to the commission but be- cause some papers were missing or not signed the entire material was returned. This is now in process of being completed, for resubmission to the State.
There should be received from the State approximately $38,000.00 for bond maturity to 1954 and during 1954 approxi- mately $14,000.00 on bonds for this school.
The method of payment having been changed by the State it is probable that an unknown amount will be paid to the town in 1954 for construction of the new High School.
The funds received from the State will be set up in the ac- counts as available for transfer at any Town Meeting as payment on school bonds as they become due.
The encumbrance system operated in the Accountant's De- partment was set up by vote of the Town Meeting in 1941. It operated until 1949, when it was abolished under management. It was reestablished in 1953 under management and has been op- erating correctly as set up by Article five of the town by-laws. Instructions relative to the operation of this system in 1954 was given to each department head, board, commission and commit- tee on October 27, 1953.
