The M. D. C. Water Commission constructed a new 30" water supply line from the junction of Lynn Fells Parkway and Main Street, down Main Street through Route 1, Route C1, through to Revere. This line has in- creased our water pressure 8 to 10 pounds, causing our standpipe in North Saugus to overflow. When this water line was constructed we requested M.D.C. for another meter connection from this line so that with the devel- opment of the Essex Street area from Route 1 to Melrose, we would have an adequate water supply. This connection is now available to the Town at the junction of Essex Street and Broadway. This connection should be utilized for the proposed Shopping Center, because from this new meter connection we can guarantee to the promotors of the Shopping Center the water requirements that they need.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In the report of Fay, Spofford & Thorndike of October 5, 1953 regard- ing rates for water service and referring to page 8 on hydrant rental, they recommend a rental fee of $25 per hydrant. I recommend that this charge be adopted.
After studying the water income report for 1955, I recommend a reduc- tion in the present water rates so that every home owner will benefit from a reduced water bill.

I recommend a planned yearly program for the replacement of cement water mains with cast iron cement lined pipe Class 150 by appropriating $25,000 to $30,000 yearly for this program. By appropriating the above amounts, it would take 12 to 13 years to complete the replacement program.
I recommend that we tie in all dead end lines so that our water system will then become a complete grid system that will enable the department, in times of emergency, to by-pass water to the different areas for domestic and firefighting purposes; also to connect with the M.D.C. emergency con- nections at the junction of Elm and Walnut Street, and Main Street and the Lynn Fells Parkway.
Another important function of this department is the upkeep and the setting of water meters for proper and accurate billing so that each water consumer pays his fair and proportionate share for water used. I hope that sufficient funds will be appropriated as recommended by me in my budget request so that our metering program can show the same progress in 1956 as was accomplished in 1955. This accomplishment is shown under the title of "1955 Water Division Accomplishments."
I recommend that immediate attention be given to the Baker Hill Standpipe and to prevent overflowing of the North Saugus Standpipe by a sufficient appropriation in 1956 to do this work.
Last but not least, I recommend that the Town accept Chapter 332 of the Acts of 1955, so that all new water main extensions installed will come under the Betterment Act whereas all abutters benefiting from the water extension will be assessed their proportionate share in a fair and equitable manner. This act, if accepted, does not apply to the replacement of an existing main.
Sewer Pumping Station Building
This building, located at Franklin Square, East Saugus, was completed and put into operation in 1940. This building is one of the few modern buildings owned by the Town and it is a crime the way that this building is allowed to deteriorate. I have requested the Building Department to in- clude in their budget for the past two years, sufficient funds to make the proper repairs with no results. If we were to construct this building at to- day's prices, it would cost more than one-half a million dollars. So, I hope that my 1956 request to the Building Department will meet with favor in order to prevent a large outlay of money in the future. No repairs have been made to this building in the last 15 years. I am not referring to in- terior mechanical devices.

At this time I want to thank the Town Meeting members, Finance Committee, Town Manager, and Board of Selectmen for their support in following my 1954 recommendation for an additional clerk in the Public Works Administration. With this new clerk, for the first time during the year 1955, we were able to send out our 1955 water bills showing the previous reading, present reading and total amount of water used. Our water con- sumers are entitled to this information and as a result, we had far less calls this year, because the people had the information desired right on their water bill.
I want to thank the entire Public Works personnel for their loyal and splendid cooperation resulting in the grand success of the department in its many endeavors. Without their loyal support, the year 1955 would not have been a banner year.
In conclusion, I wish to thank all who, in any way, assisted the Public Works Department for their sincere cooperation throughout the year. Also, I wish to thank the citizens of Saugus who were so kind and considerate in understanding the many problems that face this department.

REPORT OF THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL COMMITTEE
To the Town Manager:
We, the Town Beautiful Committee, wish to thank all the people of the Town of Saugus who have co-operated with us during this year. With- out their help, the Town Beautiful program could not be the success that it was, during 1955.
As in the past three years, the month of May was set aside as "Clean- up, Paint-up and Fix-up Week." This year we joined forces with the newly organized "North Shore Clean-up" campaign. This group included all the cities and towns along the North Shore. Knowing that their problems would be as ours have been, we were glad to co-operate with them.
One week was set aside for extra pick-ups, through the helping hand of the Public Works Department, which is supervised by Charles C. De- Fronzo. This was a job well done and we thank them for their efforts.
Pamphlets, furnished by Chief Drew of the Fire Department, and de- signed by Stanley Goldberg of the Engineering Department, were given to the school children to be colored in and taken home. Posters were placed in store windows, notices in newspapers and radio time was donated by Station WLYN during the clean-up month.
A plot of land at the junction of Chestnut Street and Lincoln Avenue was beautified in East Saugus, by planting of new trees and a bed of ger- aniums. A large stone was embedded by the Public Works Department for a future memorial.
Red maple trees were planted with the supervision of Joseph Vatcher, Superintendent of Forestry and Parks. The trees were donated by public- spirited citizens.
Herbert White of the Saugus Chamber of Commerce, and Andrew Boynton of the Town Beautiful Committee, headed a combined committee for the setting up of a Christmas program. Money for this program was collected by having a tag day and donations from the retail stores in town. Those who assisted in making this event a success were the following:
Police Athletic League-Director, Edward Newbury and Assistant Di- rector, Elmer Peart.
Boy Scouts.
Y. M. C. A.
Cub Scouts.
Over $300.00 was collected. Trees were lighted in East Saugus, Clifton- dale, Saugus Center, the Town Hall and the Public Library. A helicopter was hired and Santa Claus visited the following area:
Chickland, Golden Hills, Midtown, North Saugus, Lynnhurst, Stocker Playground, Bristow Street, Anna Parker. Ended at the rooftop of the Public Works Building.
Over 1,200 children received candy, presents and balloons at the Town Hall. Santa's headquarters were at 314A Central Street where telephone calls were received as far away as Salisbury and New Bedford. There were over 4,000 calls. Music was played the week of Christmas from the Saugus Center Congregational Church tower, sponsored by the church's couples group.
134
Twelve days after Christmas, the burning of Christmas trees was ac- companied by over 5,000 observers with religious services by the Rev. Don- ald Noseworthy of the St. John Episcopal Church. A display of fireworks were also part of this new idea.
We hope that next year will be a more successful one and that we shall receive the same co-operation from all of those who represent the Town, Civilian Defense and the public-spirited citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDREW BOYNTON, Chairman
REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT
To the Town Manager:
During the year 1955 this department has been confronted with various problems outside the category of financial and medical aid, some of which bordering on domestic difficulties.
It is with a great feeling of satisfaction that the funds set up for the administration of the department have been impartially expended, abiding to the directives as set up by the State Department, and that no deserving veteran or his dependent has been denied proper consideration.
This department has handled 68 cases in which 137 persons were bene- fited. These covered both World War I and World War II and veterans of the Korean War.
It will be noted on the final report of the year that the costs for medi- cine and medical expenses has shown a decided increase over previous years. All hospital costs and home treatments have conformed to the State Medical Plan directives with the approval of the Commissioner's office.
Further help has been given in securing pensions, affidavits, and data for schooling and on the job training applications.
It is with deep appreciation to you and the departments helping me that I have been able to carry out the duties required of me.
Respectfully,
NEWELL V. BARTLETT
Veterans' Agent

REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT
The function of the local Welfare Department under Federal Regula- tions and State Policies and Supervision is to meet the unmet need of in- dividuals living in the community.
At the present time these unmet needs are strictly defined and approxi- mate little more than the necessities of life. The four programs under the guidance of the Department are Old Age Assistance, for citizens over sixty- five years of age; Aid to Dependent Children, for families where through the inability of the breadwinner to support the family recourse must be had to the public agencies; Disability Assistance for individuals over eighteen years of age who for physical or mental deficiency are incapable of sup- porting themselves; General Relief is entirely under the control of the local authorities and is designed to meet temporary need occasioned by illness or unemployment.
The bulk of our activity is the administration of Old Age Assistance. The average payment per case was $81.02 but the average in itself means very little since there are cases in chronic hospitals receiving as much as $280.00 per month and others who have income from other sources get as little as $5.00 per month. On Old Age Assistance recipients must be visited in their homes at least twice a year but because of particular problems that present themselves most are visited much more often. In Aid to Dependent Children we had an average caseload of twenty-one cases with an average payment of $106.32 per month. Here again the average is of very little real value but is indicative of the sum spent on individual cases. Disability Assistance had an average of sixteen cases with an average payment of $82.40. On General Relief the average caseload was eleven cases with an average payment of $50.00 per month. This figure is low because the cate- gory of assistance cares mainly for emergency situations.
The departmental estimates made in 1954 for 1955 Old Age Assistance were quite accurate in that out of a total expenditure of $219,000 there was only a deficit of $43.00. On the other three categories all spendings were slightly within the estimates made more than a year ago. No credit, how- ever, can be taken by the department for this as our activities are gov- erned almost entirely by forces over which we have no control.
The major item of expense again is medical care and ancillary services. The department's expenditure on Old Age Assistance for such medical care includes doctors' services, hospitalization, nursing homes, drugs, prosthetic appliances and dental care exceeded $66,000.00. Although the gross expen- diture for medical care is greater than any year previous, this is due to the increase in prices not due to the increase in incidences. The department has good controls over medical expenses due to the State Wide Medical Plan introduced in late 1953. Two or three abuses were uncovered during the past year which were corrected. Due to the co-operation of the medical profession and allied fields our relations are harmonious. In a recent sur- vey made by the Department of Public Welfare of communities of various sizes in the Commonwealth, Saugus was found to have the lowest rate of incidence for the services of general practitioners. This was merely a sampling of one phase of medical expenses and is indicative of the fact that though medical costs are rising adequate services are being provided to all recipients without extravagance.
136
Despite repeated requests the department still has one social worker. We have a current caseload of 280. A good social worker can adequately handle approximately 160. Although we accomplished all that was required of us during the past year there is much which perforce must be left un- done. This particularly is true in Aid to Dependent Children where social work can do much to prevent recurrence and multiplication of the problems of dependency in the community.
The total amount spent for salaries and administration on the three categories was $14,769.22 and the net cost to the Town for administration was $6,822.36. On the three Federal categories of assistance we received reimbursement of 50% of our administrative expenses so that administra- tion expense to the Town for the number of persons employed is very low.
In closing we would like to thank the Manager, Elected and Appointed Officials of the Town and the staff of the Welfare Department for what- ever success we may have had in the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST M. HATCH, Chairman WALTER T. BRANDER, Secretary GEORGE A. ANDERSON
