This department is now under the direction of another extremely ment head, Mr. Ernest Pesce. He has allowed a reduction in his over- all budgets. He has promised, and has demonstrated, a desire to do more for less money than ever has been done before. We are very for- tunate in having Mr. Pesce as act- ing superintendent of the Public Works Department. We feel that under his direction, these depart- ments, although having a greatly reduced appropriation for 1857, will produce more than ever before. Our only comment is that we would like to be a Wellesley, a Newton, or a Brookline. Such is not the case, however. Simply stated, we are the Town of Saugus, Massachusetts. It is imperative in this budget, as in all others, that we expend for steak only the money for the type of steak which we can afford to buy. In this case, as in all others, it Is NOT TENDERLOIN,

to carry sick and injured to the hos- pitals. We believe that Mr. McLean has done well in restoring order so far, but feel that he has not. in this instance, yet completed the job that has to be done. so that the people of Saugus can get the protection for which they are paying. Fire Department
This department is a shining ex- ample of good men, good leaders and the wonderful work that can be done for a municipality with men pulling together. We are informed that changes and promotions will be made during the year 1957, that will increase the efficiency and op- eration of this valuable departinent. Public Works

Moderator's Report
To the Town Manager: I hereby submit my annual report as Moderator. In 1956 I appointed . five Committees of ten members, one from each of the precincts. The Committees were selected to study all phases of town government in order to be more fully informed when action was to be taken at the Annual Town Meeting.
The Committees were: Police and Fire, Public Works, Schools, All Other Departments and Special Ar- ticles.
The Town Meeting required less number of sessions than in 1955 to complete its work.
I appointed three members to the Finance Committee for the regular three year term, Also two members were appointed to serve until the final session of the 1957 Annual Town Meeting to fill two vacancies caused by resignations.
I wish to take this opportunity to express by appreciation for the co- operation of the Town Meeting Members and the Finance Commit- tee.
Respectfully submitted, C. F. NELSON PRATT, Town Moderator
Fire Department
Years ago, the main responsibility of a fire department as to pro- tect the lives and property of the people from the ravages of fire. To- day a modern fire department en- gages in other activities such as answering calls for oxygen, the use of the resuscitator and emergency accidents. Many times during the course of the year the aerial ladder of the fire department is used to assist our citizens in matters out- side the scope of fighting fires.
Under the able leadership of Chief Joseph L. Maguire, Saugus has a fine fire department and the record of the department is good. In 1956 the department responded to a total of 750 calls and in every instance acquitted themselves in a fine man- ner.
The department has some fine new equipment but there is also some room for improvement as the following equipment list shows: Engine No. 1, the new LaFrance 1000 gallon pumper received this year, has served efficiently and is in fine condition.
Engine No. 2, Mack 1930 600 gal- lon pumper is still being retained as reserve' apparatus, but is un- reliable
Engine No. 3, Mack 1000 gallon pumper is 14 years old and is In good condition.

The aerial ladder truck, purchased in 1952 is in fine condition good for many years of efficient service. Our two-way radio equipment is well maintained and was a real val- uable addition to the department. The department was saddened on October 11, 1956, when firefighter Walter Wetmore suddenly passed away. He was an excellent fire- fighter in every respect and a cre- dit to the department.
The total cost of operating the department for the year 1956 was as follows: Salaries $112,606.50, Ex- penses $10.343 50. Now' equipment $14,300.

Playgrounds
Under pollcies established by the Board of Playground Commission- ers, a very successful recreation pro- gram was carried out for the year 1956. There were four playgrounds and five play areas in operation during the season with each area under proper supervision. Under direction of the playground com- missioners the program was sup- ervised by Miss Elizabeth Nelson and her able assistant, Jean Mc- Carthy. They were ably assisted by eight other instructors.
During the year a fence was con- structed at Stocker field, an all metal see-saw erected at Bristow street and the ball field at Stocker field was completed. Fill at the Anna Park playground was graded and sanitary drinking fountains were installed at North Saugus, Lynnhurst and Oaklandvale areas. A swing and slide was erected at Oaklandvale, a backstop at the Fairchild property which was also graded, loamed and partially seeded. A basketball board was erected at Lynnhurst, also a swing and slide was erected at this same area. With fill from the Chapter 90 job at Essex street, Grandview Park was brought to street level and storm drains were also installed. In addition badmin- ton poles were erected at Stackpole Field, Hurd and Lynnhurst areas. Besides the regular activities such as art, crafts, softball, etc., a con- trolled music program was estab- lished and a trip to a big league ball game at Fenway Park was in- cluded.

It has been the practice In Sau- gus for many years to turn these funds over to the Town Library. In 1955 approximately $2900 was added to the Library appropriation from SALARIES:
the dog fund. Due to the fact that the Town was late in taking the 1956 census and the dog officer sub- sequently did not receive a dog list the total amount received for li- censes in 1956 was somewhat less than the 1955. What the Town's re- turn will be in 1957 from the '56 collections Is unknown at the pre- pent time.
Mr. William Cahill, dog officer for the Town, does an excellent job in carrying out the provisions of the statutes relating to the licens- Ing of dogs. The total cost of oper- ating this department to the Town for the year 1956 was as follows: Balary of Dog Officer $1000.00, ex- penses $30.45.

PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY

Massachusetts must be licensed in accordance with the provisions of Section 37, Chapter 140 of the Gen- eral Laws. In order that the pro- visions of this statute may be con- formed with, law enforcement of- ficials in the person of dog officers are appointed in the cities and towns of the Commonwealth.
It is the duty of the dog officers to see to It that every dog within the confines of his community is licensed in accordance with the sta- tutes. During the year 1956 779 were licensed at $2.00 each, 140 fe- males were licensed at $5.00 each, 475 spayed females at $2.00 each, 4 kennels at $10.00 each, 3 kennels at $25.00 each, 4 kennels at $50.00 each. Total receipts for the licens- ing of all dogs and kennels amount- ed to $3523 00.
This money is turned over to the County. After all county expenses concerned with the licensing and the regulating of dogs are paid for by the County Treasurer the bal- ance from the dog fund licenses are returned to the cities and towns of the County. When these funds are returned to the local commun- ity they can be only used for ed- ucational and library purposes.
