All town owned elms have been sprayed with 6% and 12% D.D.T. three times for elm leaf beetles and elm bark beetles, Poison ivy vines were sprayed in various sections of the town.
This division planted shrubbery for the Garden Club at the Main branch of the Library in Saugus Center. Also planted beds of tulips bulbs in Saugus Center and at Cliftondale Square.
Brush was cut on the roadsides on Main Street at corner of Forest Street, Main Street corner of Howard Street, Main Street at Oakland- vale School, Talbot Street, Water Street and Dudley Street at corner of Richard Street.
Skating rinks were maintained at the Oaklandvale playground, Stocker Playground and Lynnhurst playground and was also responsible for the flooding of the skating rinks.

up and transport Butcher's waste from market selling meat.
The same number of funeral di- rectors were licensed in 1961; 3 in number. There were 17 Drain Layer licenses issued, which is necessary for the control of in- divuals who otherwise might bill the residents of the Town of Sau- gus while posing as contractors doing this work and not qualified to engage in this business.
There were 6 Kindergartenper- mits issued. Mrs. Derrah, the Public Health Nurse, keeps these places under constant surveillance throughout the year. Also there were 391 permits issued for Trail- er Coach Parks, Motels and Ca- bins. This means the number of rooms.
This department assumes all the responsibility for the collection of garbage and rubbish, which is done by private contractors on a 3 year basis. Rubbish complaints num- bered 227 and garbage 242.
Promiscuous dumping is always a source of constant complaints to this department. We earnestly solicit the cooperation of the resi- dents of Saugus to report this of- fense to the Health Department, as there is a very stiff penalty for the one who is apprehended.
Overflowing cesspools are a constant trouble throughout the town. In some cases it is very hard to find a remedy until such time as the sewer is available. In 1961 this department received 128 complaints about cesspool and drains overflowing.
Also there are the miscellaneous complaints, 81 in number. I would like to have the time and space to enumerate the kind of com- plaints these are; some are neigh- borhood quarrels and others may be justified, but all are in- vestigated.
As the town grows in popula- tion of human beings, it alsogrows in dog population. During 1961 this department processed 148 dog bites which entailed a consider- able amount of time in locating the owner of the dog, quarantin- ing the animal for 14 days, and then allowing them to be released at the end of the quarantine per- iod. Dogs biting individuals, owner unknown, is another problem. The dog officer must catch and confine the dog for the required 14 days, which the County pays for.
We have issued 1 permit for shucking clams in the Town of Sau- gus for 1961.
Considerable prestige has been gained by this town, as we operate an approved laboratory for the testing of milk, cream and ice cream; also swab test from uten- sils in restaurants. There were 240 samples of milk and cream picked up and tested at this laboratory. The Saugus General Hospital has to be licensed by this department.
Undertakers acquired 131 burial permits from this department. Some of these were issued nights, Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays at the Agent's home.
As in the past, 1 have continued to direct the laying out of all sewer laterals to the various build- ings on every street where the sewer system has been installed; aiso turned in the third copy of a triplicate form, signed by the home owner or his agent, so that the Public Works will have a record of the installation for sewer serv- ice charges.

I want to thank the members of the Public Works Department for their loyalty and cooperation resulting in a very successful year.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all who in any way assisted the Public Works Department, for their sincere co-operation through- out the year. I wish to thank the citizens of Saugus who were so kind and considerate in understanding the many problems that face this department.

During the year I attended several health conferences conducted at various intervals by the Massachusetts State Nurses Association, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, New England Health institute, and the Staff Educational Program of Public Health Nurses of the Northeastern District.
At this time I wish to express my most sincere gratitude to the Graduate Nurses, Mrs. Herbert Amidon and her volunteer workers who gave so generously of their valuable time and assistance to the varlous clinics conducted. The success of these clinics was due in no small measure to their kind cooperation.

1961 Report Playground Commission
To the Town Manager:
During 1961 the Playground Com- mission presented a more exten- sive program than ever before.
The eight week summer program during July and August offered supervised recreation on tenplay- grounds with activities planned for every age group. The program, ranging from games for tots to league softball for teens, included handicraft, baton twirling, sports for boys and girls of all ages, swimming trips and much more. This program was well attended, much enjoyed and is a credit to Director Jack White and his staff of 15 temporary assistants.
In addition these other activi- ties were made available. Peanut Basketball, a program of instruc-' tion and games conducted during the winter months in the High School Gym. We gratefully acknow- ledge the school officials coopera- tion in making the gym available.
Peanut Hockey - This program conducted by a fine group of volun- teer workers, is sponsored and' financially assisted by the Play- ground Commission.
July 4th Field Day - For the second year this Town wide obser- vance of the holiday was held at' Stackpoles Field. The races, con- tests, entertainment, prizes and refreshments were enjoyed by a. large gathering.
The members of this Com- mission are not satisfied with the overall condition of the Town's recreation facilities. The Play- ground.system has not kept pace with the growth in size and popu- lation of the past few years ie,
Oaklandvale and North Saugus have no playgrounds that have areas suitable for sports. In the entire Town there are only five baseball fields, all in bad condition. Due to the shortage of manpower for maintenance work our playgrounds are in a constant state of untidi- ness and disrepair. The stadium at Stackpole's Field is unfit for use.
The Playground Commission will, in the near future, submit to the Town Manager a survey of the present conditions and recom- mendations for immediate and lon; range improvements.

(Continued from page 18) working on the sewer report that I submitted to them five years ago, namely, the streets and areas where this department receives the most complaints.
In subdividing a plot land in the Town of Saugus, the Health Depart- ment must approve the plan for water supply and drainage.
As in the past, I have reported .. all remodeling of plumbing, systems and alterations to the plumbing systems, also all the animals, number and kind, to the Board of Assessors annually, for their records.
Most all of the functions of the Health Department must be report- ed to the State Department of Public Health, namely. the Division of Sanitary Engineering, Division of Livestock Disease Control, Divi- sion of Food and Drug, and vari- ous others.
It is necessary for me to main- tain my Master Plumber's license; also 1 am a licensed registered Sanatarian in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
As in the past years, I requested a sum of money to have the regul- ations of the Board of Health brought up to date; this means ad- vertising and printing. I have also asked for a full time clerk; all of this to no avail.
We have operated an aerial mos- quito control project during the past years for the town. While this is not a complete kill, neverthe- less, it is of considerable help to keep the mosquito population down.
I wish to thank all in the Town of Saugus who have assisted me in the performance of my duties as Agent for the Health Department, namely, the clerk of the depart- ment and the Public Health Nurse. Respectively submitted, John V. Spencer Health Agent
