1958 Report of the Town Accountant
To The Town Manager:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 61 of the General Laws of Massachusetts I herewith submit the Annual Report of UNPROVIDED FOR OR OVERDRAWN ACCOUNTS: all financial transactions by Town Officials and Departments and a Underestimates 1958 County Tax statement of the Financial Condition of the Municipal Government for the year ending December 31, 1958.
TOWN INDEBTEDNESS
On January 1, 1958 the sum of $2,794,000 was outstanding In bonded debt. During the year 1958 $48,000 matured on Sewer Bonds, $15,000 on Water Bonds and $138,000 on School Bonds.
On June 1, 1958, $153,000 2.80% issue of Sewer Bonds was financed through the National Shawmut Bank of Boston. This issue will mature over a period of twenty (20) years. Ten thousand each year, 1959 through 1968 Inclusive, eight thousand in 1969, and five thousand each year 1970 through 1978 inclusive. The balance outstanding ou December 31, 1958 $2,746,000.
Through the School Building Assistance Commission the Common- Wealth of Massachusetls again reimbursed the Town on the maturity of School Bonds for the same amounts as in 1957, $55,000 on the High School and $14,544.91 on the Veterans Memorial School for a total of $69,544.91 assistance.
Interest paid on all bonds came to $76,076.75. This includes an in- terest payment of $2,142.00 due December 1, 1958 on the 1958 Sewer issue which was not provided for by the Town Meeting when they passed on the bond Issue. Subsequently the amount was obtained by a transfer from the Reserve Fund, A detailed analysis of Indebtedness follows later in the report.
TEMPORARY LOANS
The Town Treasurer borrowed $700,000 to finance the municipal gov- ernment in anticipation of taxes. All temporary loans were paid off by December 12, 1958. The total sum borrowed was $100,000 less than in 1957 and $200,000 less than in 1956. An example of how a healthy financial structure helps the taxpayer is indicated by the cost of borrowing in anticipation of revenue. Interest on temporary loans in 1956 cost the town $11,046.23. Interest on temporary loans In 1958 cost the town $3,603. 97 a savings of $7,442.26 over the 1956 figure. Of course we cannot control the Interest rate, which In 1956 was high, but we can see a definite advantage in as little borrowing as possible.
TAX TITLES AND POSSESSIONS
On January 1, 1958 there was $16.662.35 outstanding on Tax Titles. During the year the Treasurer collected $7,482.03 on redemptions, the Collector added $12,924.57 to the total for unpaid taxes. With abatements and audit adjustments in the amount of $1,375.71 during the year the oulstanding balance December 31, 1958 was $20,729.18.
On January 1, 1958 there was $93,193.53 outstanding as unsold Tax Possessions. During the year the Board of Selectmen, by public sale, received $13,889.00 for the various parcels sold. The adjustments for profit and loss of book values on the sales left a total outtanding of $70,209.69 on December 31, 1958. This was a reduction of $22,893.84 for the year.
GENERAL FINANCIAL CONDITION
One of the key figures in determining our tax rate, Estimated Re- ceipls, proved to be a little less conservative than the previous year. In 1957 there was a net gain of $64,279.46 for the year in our E. R. account. This year, 1958, the net galn was $10,346. 12 or $53,933.34 less. The gain Itself can be attributed to a final distribution of State Income and Corp- oratlon Taxes received on December 23, 1958 In the amount of $27,720.00. Estimates that fell short weer approximately $23,000 in Old Age Recov- erles which was uncommonly high in 1957 and in Water Revenue about $19,000 short of 1957 receipts.
In Town Appropriations the sum of $42,517.25 was transferred to the Revenue account from unexpended departmental balances. The total credit Revenue balance of $52,885.60 was then transferred to Surplus Revenue.
The Surplus Revenue (E&D) account carried a balance of $312,056.89 on January 1, 1958. In this amount $200,959.13 was certifled as "free cash". The annual town meeting appropriated $95,000.00 of this amount leaving a balance of $105,959.13 in "Free Cash". The December 31, 1958 balance in Surpius Revenue is $283,206.37 "Free Cash" on this date as certified by the Department of Corporations and Taxations is $185,910.89 a $15,048.24 decrease from last year.
The continued cooperation of the many Town Officials and Commit- tees during te past year is herewith gratefully acknowledged. Respectfully submitted

The Board of Zoning and Build- ing Appeals submits herewith its report for 1958.
As provided by Chapter 40 of the General Laws, as amended, the Board is a tribunal created for the purpose of bearing appeals from the arbitrary restrictions placed upon the Superintendent of Buildings in issuing permits both the zoning and building by- la ws.
The legislature, in its wisdom, has provided for Boards of Ap- peal, wbo, after conducting pub- lic hearings and complying with all provisions of the statute, may, under special conditions, and only by unanimous vote, grant vari- ances and special permits order- ing the Superintendent of Build- ings to issue either building or occupancy permits.
During the past year, the Board of Appeals has beard 32 (thirty- two) appeals for variances. Of this total, 29 petitions (twenty- nine), have been granted and 3 (threc), denied. Many weekly meetings and field trips to view various properties throughout the town, were conducted.

1958 Report of the Public Welfare
To the Town Manager: This Annual Report of the Pub- lic Welfare Department for 1959 is intended as a summary of the monthly reports that have been submitted and published in the local newspapers.
The staff remains the same one Agent, two Social Workers, and two Clerks.
The same four programs are administered, by the agency, Rs previously - Oid Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Dis- ability Assistance and Generai Relief. It seems unnecessary to review the distinctive features of each program here since, through the cooperation of the Saugus Ad- vertiscr and the Lynn Sunday Telegram, interpretive articles were published a few months ago in both newspapers.
On Oid Age Assistance we had an average monthly caseload of 196 and began 1959 with 198 cases. The average payment per case was $86.85 per month. Total expenditures $220,940.83.
On Aid to Dependent Children we had an average monthly case- load of 19 and began 1959 with 19 cases. The' average payment per case was $116.79 per month. Total expenditures $27,652.78.
