Officer Elsmore is at pre- sent in a hospital recovering from a serious heart attack. He is missed very much and we hope that he will soon be able to take up his duties where he left off.
1 feel that 1 would be re- miss in my duties if I did not call attention to the fact that Patrolman Joseph Markow- ski now does practically all of the department photography. He is exceptionally well qualified for this and again we are fortu- nate to have in our depart- ment such a dedicated police officer.
For several years this de- partment has assumed the duty of taking all pictures needed by town departments. This is a pleasure and we are happy to cooperate but it seems to me that the budget for this work should be increased in order that we may from time Continued on page 11

Recommendations
Again, as 1 have done each year, 1 must urge upon you the extreme need for addi- tional personnel. We have been handicapped by lack of man- power for years. No ad- dition to this department has been made since 1954. This is not right and not for the good of the people of Saugus who are entitled to better protec- tion than the present depart- ment is able to present.
A full time man should be added to the Inspector's Office. There is more work than one man can efficiently care for and the results of such an ad- dition would pay good dividends.
A Police Department clerk should be added. This would re- lieve me and other members of the department of the duties of attempting to keep records, files, etc. At present 75% of my time is spent doing paper work. This should not be as it makes it impossible for me to attend to other matters which of necessity now are neglected. The appointing of a female clerk would add much to the efficiency of the department and should be made.
In conclusion, 1 wish to ex- tend my thanks to you, the mem- bers of the Police Department, Town Officials and private citi- zens, who have aided me dur- ing the year just past, With- out this friendly assistance and the moral support I have re- ceived my duties would have proved much more arduous. Respectfully, ROLANO E. MANSFIELD Chief of Police
1959 Report

To the Honorable Manager, Board of Selectmen, and Citi- zens of the Town of Saugus: 1 hereby submit the annual report on the personnel, con- dition and activities of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1959.
Roster: Chief, Joseph L. Maguire, Captains, Albert F. Jervis and Norman T. Hull, Lieutenants, Thomas A. Nolan, Robert Jacobs, Warren New- hall, and Guy H. Collins,; Pri- vates, Harold Atkinson, George Parrott, Frank Beckford, Robert Champoux, Charles Ry- der, John LaViska, Leslie Hitchings, George Berrett, Jos- eph Champoux, George Howard, Melvin Lawton, William Paga- nucci, George Parrott, III, George Fyfe, George Cronin, Ronald Tilley, John Lumsden, Albert Brazis, Walter Waldrip, Arthur Maguire, and John Fal- asca; Call'Fighter, Arthur Gus- tafson.

numerous Traffic accidents, illnesses requiring oxygen equipment, lockouis and lock- ins, floods, rescue for all kinds of animals and some of unusual nature.

Excellent work by the Fire Department has kept the prop- erty losses at a minimum. working with a growing popu- lation and construction and operating with a minimum of manpower over an eleven and one half square mile area.
I recommend for 1960 that sprinkler systems be installed in all Schools, also that a Mas- ter Fire Alarm Signal Box be placed on all school Buildings and connected direct to the Fire Station.
Again , I recommend, that the chasis on Engine #+ be replaced. This chasis to answer all Forest Fires and for general use and will carry new body recently constructed by the members of the Department and the Ace Welding Co.
Again, I recommend, as in 1958, the appointment of two Permanent Firefighters to fill the working shifts to a compli- ment of eight men on duty at all times.
In conclusion, 1 wish to thank the Chief of Police and Depart- ment, the Superintendent of Buildings and of the Public Works, Director of Civil De- fense, and all other Town Of- ficials and Citizens for their excellent cooperation.
1959 Report Dept.
Fire Prevention
To The Town Manager: I hereby submit the report
of the Bureau of Fire Pre- vention for the year ending December 31, 1959.
The purpose of the Bureau of Fire Prevention is to make inspections to prevent the loss of life and the protection of property from fire by remov- ing and correcting any condi- tion that is a potential life and ' fire hazard.
The schools of the Town of Saugus which are one of our primary concern are inspected periodically to keep them as safe as possible from fire for the safety of our children, tea- chers, personnel and the public when meetings are conducted and public functions are held. Many improvements have been made in the schools for better protection and better housekeeping namely in the re- moval of rubbish and debris. Fire drills are conducted both by the department and more often by the principals of the schools, at their discretion,
The Fire Chief has recom- mended in the past that the schools be equipped with sprinkler systems. It is re- commended that all schools not already equipped with suitable type of fire alarm signal sy- stem connected to a master type box Into the municipal system be installed. It is also recommended that all schools be equipped with adequate fire escapes leading directly to the outside ground level.

1959 Report Town Moderator
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Board of Zoning and Building Appeals submits here- with its report for 1959.
As provided by Chapter 40 of the General Laws, as antended, the Board is a tri- bunal created for the purpose of hearing appeals from the ar- bitrary restrictions placed upon the Superintendent of Buildings in issuing permits under both the zoning and building by-laws.
The legislature, in its wis- dom, has provided for Boards of Appeal, who, after conduct- ing public hearings and comply- ing with all provisions of the statute, may, under special con- dition, and only by unanimous vote, grant variances and special permits ordering the Superintendent of Buildings to issue either building or occupancy permits.
During the past year, the Board of Appeals has heard 50 (fifty) appeals for variances. Of this total, 40 Petitions (forty) have been granted and (seven), denied. Many weekly meetings and field trips to view various properties throughout the town, were conducted.
The Board of Appeals regrets to announce that during the year, Mr. William L. Laverne, a valued regular member for many years tendered his resignation to your honorable body due to pressure of hispre- sent occupational duties.
Resolutions of regret were sent to Mr. Laverne by the Board. Similar Resolutions were sent to Mr. James F. Hanlon, an associate member, and Clerk of the Board for several years, who tendered his resignation because of profes- sional obligations. Both Mr. La- verne and Mr. Hanlon had served well without
and renumeration of any character in their respective positions as regular and associate mem- bers, other than the realization of making a contribution to their fellow citizens.
The Board was pleased to greet as a new member, fil- ling Mr. Laverne's unexpired term, Mr. Thomas A. Hashem.
Mr. Richard J. Spencer a pre- sent associate member was elected by the Board to serve as Clerk of the Board.
The Board is equally pleased to announce that during an or- ganizational meeting at mid- year, Mr. Walter F. Hogan was again unanimously Chairman.
At the beginning of the year Mr. William B. Merrithew was elected a full member of the Board to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Peter A. Rossetti who resigned last year upon his election to the School Com- mittee.
In closing, the Board would. like to express its gratitude to the members of your honor- able body; Town Counsel C. Carroll Cunningham, members of the Planning Board, and all other officials who have helped them perform their duties.
