Health Agent


(Continued from Fage 10)


There were 5 kindergarten li- censes issued for 1962, Mrs. Der- rah, the Public Health Nurse, keeps these places under constant sur- veillance throughout the year. Also issued were 3 permits for traller coach parks, 346 permits for cabins and motels. These figures mean the number of rooms.


As in the past years, this department has had control of the collection of rubbish, which is collected and disposed of in the De- Matteo dump on the Salem Turn- pike. This is a three year con- tract, The garbage collections are also under the control of the Health Department and the Contractor is a Peabody resident, where all the garbage is transported to. This also is a three year contract, There were 180 rubbish complaints and 365 garbage complaints, and 26 complaints for promiscuous dumping around the Town in various sections. We earnestly solicit the cooperation of the resi- dents of the Town of Saugus to help us eliminate this nuisance. There is a very heavy penalty for dumping in places not designated as such.


Overflowing cesspools are a constant trouble throughout the Town. Some of these complaints, 69 in number, about cesspools are a sources of neighborhood quarell- ing and some are ligitimate. In- variably the people involved try to do everything possible to eliminate this nuisance as they are affected as much as their neighbors.


Miscellaneous complaints num- bered 78. It would be impossible to enumerate the kind of com- plaints. some are neighborhood quarrels and some are justified, but all are investigated.


The' Town's dog" population' is =' increasing as the Town grows. During 1962, 165 dog bites were processed. This entails a consid- erable amount of time in locating the owners of some dogs. The ani- mals are quarantined for fourteen days and then checked on when it is time for their release. When the owner of a dog, biting an in- dividual, is unknown it creats an- . other problem. The dog must be apprehended and is usually con- fined under the care of the Dog Officer for the usual fourteen day period which costs the Town $1,00 per day but is reimbursed by the County in each instance,


This Department has issued one permit for the shucking of clams. This Department issued 166 burial permits during 1962. Some of these permits were issued at my home weekends, nights and holi- ' days.


The Town should be proud of an approved laboratory, by the State, located in the basement of the Sweetser School, This is for the purpose of testing milk, ice cream, also swab tests from eating uten- sils in restaurants, 240 samples of milk and cream were analyzed during the year 1962. The Saugus General Hospital is also licensed by this Department.


As in the past, I have continued, to direct the laying out of all sewer service connections to the various buildings on every street where the sewer system has been in- stalled, also saw that every resi- dear filed a sewer application in triplicate, one of these copies re- tained by the occupant, one turn- ed over to the Public Works office, with the material installed during the installation, and one for the Board of Health records.

TOWN REPORT Page 12


1962 Report Finance Committee


The Finance Committee with the complete cooperation of the Town Meeting was able to bring about many capital improvements. The increased appropriations in the Public Works Department for Bitu- mols and new heavy equipment enabled us to take a great stride forward in badly needed street re- surfacing and continuation of the sewer program in the Town.


Final recommendations for ap- propriation of funds were achieved in the long battle to get the con- struction of the Lynnhurst andOak- landvale Elementary Schools underway. Unfortunately the new Saugus Junior High School has as yet reached the same goal. The in- creasing cost of the overalleduca- tional program in the town requires special attention from the Finance Committee.


Several meetings were held dur- ing the year with the Town Man- ager and various Department Heads to review and recommend transfers from the Reserve Fund for unforseen expenses such as the flood during 1962.


The Finance Committee has tried to make all its recommenda- tions in the best interest of the entire town.


Respectfully submitted,


Finance Committee


Dr. Theodore P. Golan Secretary


Health Agent


(Continued from Page II) supplied to the Public Works is for sewer service charge. I also submitted a list of streets to the Manager " and . the Public Works Department, where sewers are es- sential. This list is compiled from the districts where this depart- ment receives the most com- plaints.


in subdividing lots of land for development in this Town, the Planning Board cannot give ap- proval for same until such time as it has been approved by the Health Department. This is a statute law.


A new State regulation has been put in force that no person shall receive a building permit until such time as a percolating test has been conducted on his lot or lots by a registered engineer under the sup- ervision of this Agent. The En- gineer must submit a plan of the entire septic system to the Health Department, then a letter is sent to the Building Department with a plan of the septic 'system before a building permit can be issued. in my capacity as Health Agent, I have been called out to five fires, two in restaurants and three in markets. One was a total loss. It Is my duty to screen all of the food- stuffs, after a fire, to determine what shall be sold for food and what shall be destroyed and carted to a dump or to a piggery.


As in the past, I have requested a sum of money to have the regu- lations of the Board of Health brought up to date to no avail. This amount would entail adver- tising and printing.


This Board sponsored and supervised an aerial mosquito con- trol project authorized by a special article in the Town Meeting, in 1962 the spraying was done by a belicopter which was more ef- fective than an airplane. Thispro- ject Is not a complete küll but does reduce the mimber of mos- quitoes prevalent throughout the Summer.

TOWN REPORT Page 14


1962 Report Public Welfare


To the Town Manager:


From the standpoint of admin- istrative success and fiscal re- sponsibility, the Department of Public Assistance had a success- ful year. Despite, the many changes in Pulbic Assistance programs we lived within our budget and, in fact, in several accounts returned balances to the Treasury.


The number of employees in the Department remain the same, one director, two social workers and two clerks. Our net operating costs were reduced still further due to the fact this is the first year that 75% reimbursement was re- ceived for salaries and expenses. Total expended for these twoitems $34,430.56. Of this amount $24,- 848.00 has been or will be return- ed to the Department so that for the full time services of five persons, three of them with professional responsibilities, the Townexpend- ed less than $10,000.00.


Our caseload declined in Old Age Assistance to 109 but our caseload on Medical Assistance to the Aged (Continued on Page 15)


Town Clerk (Continued from Fage 13)


residents brought in by the census takers reviewed and brought up to date the voting list of the Town of Saugus. All candidates nomination papers were checked to verify signatures on said nomination papers, and further the Town Clerk's Department handled all the detalled work for the elections held in the Town of Saugus during the year 1962. With the enacting of Chapter 434 of the Acts of 1960 prohibiting the opening of ballot boxes and the counting of votes in Towns until the polls are closed a genuine personnel prob- lem exists in all Towns throughout the Commonwealth and the Town of Saugus Is no exception. Once agaln legislation has been enacted by the General Court without ser- ious consideration to


the mechanics of the problem, Towns, în most Instances, and particularly in precinct towns, have precincts which run in number several times larger than precincts in cities. In conclusion, the law now provides that the counting of ballots shall commence with the close of the polls, and shall continue without adjournment, until the counting Is complete.


In addition to the foregoing acti- vities, records were made of Town Meetings for the Town of Saugus, annual and special, for which per- manent records are kept in the Office of the Town Clerk and certified coples of all votes taken are furnished to the various de- partments and for Town, City, County and State Boards and Com- missions, and further the Town Clerk is charged with the respon- sibility of handling the mechanics of conducting a Town Meeting.


Records are also kept by the Town Clerk's Department for the Board of Selectmen, the Town Clerk by virtue of his office acts ex officio as the Clerk of the Board of Selectmen, and certified copies of votes of the Board of Selectmen are avallable in the Town Clerk's Office for all Town Departments and various boards throughout the Commonwealth. All Selectmen's correspondance is handled by the Town Clerk's Department, in addi- tion to keeping a permanent file of all Selectmen's correspondance. Respectfully submitted,


Town Clerk
