TOWN REPORT Page 7
1959 Report Finance Board
One of the foremost respon- sibilities of the Finance Com- mittee is tomake budget recom- menda tions.
The Finance Committee met on many occasions during 1959 and reviewed and discussed, in detail, all budget items for each Department.
After a full evaluation of the complete budget the Com- mittee made their final recom- mendations totaling $2824875. The Town Meeting in their sub- sequent action, voted appropria- tions totaling $2828378. The vote of the Town Meeting proved. quite conclusively that they con- curred in the Finance Com- mittee recommendations for 1959.
A major contribution of the Committee was the presentation of a Special Article to establish a Stabilization Fund of $100,000. to provide for future Capital outlays. The Town Meeting, in wise judgement, accepted this article. The Finance Committee hopes that this sound business practice is continued, so the Town may develop financial sta- bility in their investment spending. N. B. Hansen Secretary

Motor Vehicle Accidents
Sergeant Charles N. Worm- stead, whose duties include the compilation of facts and figures relating to automobile acci- dents, has submitted a fine, comprehensive report on same. For the sake of brevity 1 shall quote figures which I feel should be of interest to you and to the citizens of Saugus.
The total number ofaccidents reported during the past year was 374, 15 less than in 1958. While the drop in accidents may appear small it must be taken into consideration that the total number of motor ve- hicles registered in 1959 was the greatest in history. Then we must realize that traffic is constantly increasing. Dur- ing 1959 a count made on Broad- way and it was found that the Continued on page 10

TOWN REPORT Page 10
Police Deptment
Continued from page 9 average daily figures showed that nearly 60,000 cars travel- led this busy throughfare. Therefore, it would seem to follow that our attempts tocon- trol traffic movements in the town are meeting with success. There were 3 fatal accidents last year. Of course, we are not proud of this figure but feel that but for constant poli- cing the number might well have been greater.
Two hundred and twelve (212) accidents filed reported that persons were injured to a greater or lesser degree and 129 motor vehicles damaged. Twenty-two (22) pedestrians were involved, 7 bicyles and 1 sled.
There were 660 operators, of which. 123 were females. The total of persons involved was 886 which figure includes all operators and passengers. Of this number 460 passengers sustained death or injury. Of the 660 operators , 501 were non-residents of our commun- ity.
Report of Inspector
Detective-Sergeant Ernest A. Dunham has experienced another very busy twelve months and has done an ex- tremely commendable job.
He reports that there were 112 breaks committed during 1959, 213 larcenies, 21 assaults, 14 cases of females being ac- costed and 1 case of rape. As is the case throughout the state this department is being flooded with cases of bad checks. In a great number we are able to obtain the money involved for the injured party, but many cases were found to require criminal action. It is possible if the courts took a sterner attitude regarding such cases the number could be greatly reduced.
Patrolman Walter J. Els- more, our Safety Officer has again performed to my com- plete satisfaction and we are indeed fortunate in having an officer so devoted to the child- ren of our town and so interested in his duty. He, at regular intervals, visits the several schools and talks to the pu- pils on the subject of safety and these visits have paid off tremendously. The safety pat- rols he has put into operation are a very powerful influence in getting school children home after school hours. The results of his efforts are a monument to him.
