1963 Report Dog Officer
Dear Sir: All dogs in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts must be licensed in accordance with the provisions of Section 37, Chapter 140 of the General Laws. In order that the provisions of this statute may be conformed with, law enforcement officials in the person of dog offi- cers are appointed in the cities and towns of the Commonwealth.
It is the duty of the dog officers to see to it that every dog within the confines of his community is licensed in accordance with the statutes. During the year 1963, 665 Males at $2.00 each, 87 Fe- males at $5.00 each, 447 5payed Females at $2.00 each, 1 Kemmel at $50.00, 3 Kennels at $10.00, total $2,739.00, Fees paid to the Town Treasury $300.75, paid to the Treasurer of Essex County. $2,438.25.
This money is turned over to the County. After all County ex- penses concerned with the licens- ing and regulating of dogs arepaid for by the County Treasurer, the balance from the dog fund Licenses are returned to the cities and towns of the County. When these funds are returned to the local community ' they can be only used for education- al and library purposes.
Mr. William F. Cahill, dog offi- cer for the Town, answers muim- erous calls and complaints in re: gard to dogs in carrying out the provisions of the statutes relating to the licensing of dogs. The total cost of operating this department to the Town for the year 1963 as efficiently as possible was as ,follows: Salary of the dog officer- $1,000.00. expenses - $100,00, and also a segregated item of $400.00 to be used for the erection of a Dog Pound.
Respectfully submitted, William F. Cahill Dog Officer

Mrs. Derrah, the Public Health Nurse, has charge of these kinder- gartens and day care schools. This Department also has the supervision of the collection of garbage and rubbish, 203 rubbish complaints were received and 687 complaints about the collection of garbage and 163 miscellaneous complaints.
The Board of Health also spon- sors and supervises the aerial mosquito control program in the Town of Saugus. Only $2000 was appropriated for this project.
3 dog's heads were severed and sent to the Wassermann Labora- tory for rabies analysis.
The Food and Drug Division of the State requested three thorough investigations in stores for food supposedly contaminated.
All reports as required by Law. were sent to various State Depart- . ments. During 1963, there were four fires in restaurants and stores. These places were investi- gated and were not allowed to open until they had complied with the regulations of the Board of Health and the Food and Drug Division, 4 appearances in Court were* made on different matters per- taining to the Health Department.
All regulations were enforced and all necessary inspections were made. All complaints were thoroughly investigated and clari- fied according to law.

1963 Report Fire Prevention
To The Town Manager: I hereby submit the report of the Bureau of Fire Prevention of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1963.
The purposes of the bureau are to make inspections and procure correction of conditions that are hazards and potential hazards of fire for the protection of life and property.
The schools of the Town of Sau- gus are of our deepest concern because of the large enrollment of children and teachers, custo- dians and other personnel. These buildings are inspected approxi- mately every three months to keep them as safe as possible, Con- sistant improvement is being made in better house keeping as these buildings are being used for public functions and various types of meetings. Fire drills are conduct- ed four times a year and more often by the principals of the schools.
For many years the Fire Chiefs have recommended that
our schools be equipped with approved automatic type sprinklers. This is our opinion is one of of the best protection devices for protection of life and property against fire and we recommend and continue to urge this matter be given seri- ous consideration. It is recom- mended that schools not already equipped with fire escapes leading directly to ground level be so equipped, namely the Armitage, Sweetser, Ballard, North Saugus and the Lynnhurst wooden school if it is to be used.
-
Convalescent and nursing homes, Saugus General Hospital, kindergartens are inspected every three months. All other town own- ed bulldings are on a program of self inspection and are checked every three months thereby result- ing in reduced insurance rates thereby saving the town a con- siderable amount of money.
The bureau inspected ninety- one oil burner installations, ten low (Continued on Page 16)

During the year, two senior of- ficers were retired. Chief Joseph L. Maguire retired on July 31, 1963. Captain Norman T. Hull re- tired on November 17, 1963. These positions will be filled after re- sults of recent Civil Service exams.
During the year, the Department responded to a record 1103 calls and alarms for fires and other emergency duties. There were 569 grass, brush, dump, trash, rub- bish, and woods fires; 131 building fires; 54 calls for oxygen and first aid; 60 false alarms and false telephone calls; 102calls involving motor vehicles and accidents; 63 flooded cellars pumped out; 113 miscellaneous calls including cats in trees, bats in chimneys etc; 11 calls for Mutual Aid Assist- ance to other Communities. This was the busiest year in the history of the Department, which may be only a barometer of the future, with the ever increasing popula- tion and traffic.
Condition of Apparatus
Engine #1 - American LaFrance Pumper is now in good condition : following extensive repairs which
included a new motor and general overhauling.
Engine #2 - Mack Hose Wagon and Forest Fire is in good condi- tion.
Engine #3 - Mack Pumper is twenty years old and in fair con- dition.
Aerial Ladder - Mack 65' is in good condition.
As in past years the Depart- ment is in need of a Jeep, sta- tionwagon, or small truck for use as a utility carrier of portable equipment such as cellar pumps, hose, oxygen, lighting units, etc.
It should be noted that the De- partment has a very large and growing area to protect, with a minimum number of men. Irecom- mend that a program be adopted whereby additional men be added to the Department.
I also recommend a program for the installation of newhydrants and fire Alarm Signals.
The new Fire Station will be ready this year in West Clifton- dale, whereby we will need new equipment and added manpower to put it into operation.
I recommend the First 5tation Committee investigate the need for another station that will take care of the Oaklandvale, North Saugus and Lynnhurst sections of the Town.
In conclusion, I wish to extend my thanks to the Officers and men of the Department for their coop- eration and also to Chief William O'Brien of the Fire Auxiliary De-

1963 Report Finance Comm
The response of the Town Meet- ing members in following the recommendations of the Finance Committee during the Annual and Special Town Meetings has been most gratifying. The excellent co- operation of the Town Manager and the Selectmen has also been re- sponsible for increased services to the taxpayer, while at the same time raising the salaries of the town employees; with the tax rate remaining somewhat stable. This has been accomplished in spite of- a spiralling school budget. The influx of business establishments into the town during the past sev- eral years has broadened the tax base so that the amount of new revenue up to now, has absorbed the rise in. the amount of mu- nicipal spending.
Unfortunately, however, this year we are faced with a different situation. The tax hase has broad- ened at a much lower rate than the estimated growth of the town expenses. The Finance Committee is alarmed at the increase in the school budgets during the past several years, In 1963 the school expenses were $215,000 more than in 1962; and according to reports, the 1964 school budget will be $330,000 more than last year. It is obvious that even with a curtail- ment of much needed services to the taxpayer, the tax rate is going to move up. The amount that the tax rate will increase will de- pend on the cooperation of the Town Manager, the Selectmen, the School Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Town Meeting members.
This year the Finance Commit- tee has been broken up into sub- committees to study the various budgets, so that a better under- standing of every department's needs can be accomplished. Each sub-committee will report its find- ings to the full committee during the budget deliberations. We are working with the Town Manager in- setting up a long range program of capital improvements and fiscal planning, The 1964 budget will be greatly simplified and consolidated so that it will be easier to follow at Town Meeting,
The Finance Committee, through its sub-committee on schools, is well aware of the fruitless efforts of the Town Manager and the School Committee to resolve the problems of building a new junior high school.
The failure of these parties to come to an agreement on the arch- itect's plans is of great concern to the Finance Committee, who feels that the continued delay in the building of the new school will have a decided affect on the ulti- mate oost to the town. This has been proved by the increased cost of the nearly completed Oakland -. vale and Lynnhurst Schools due to continued bickering and un- necessary delays.
The Finance Committee has worked untiringly and diligently this year to perform its duties in the best interests of the Town of Saugus, and will continue to do what it deems best for the town as a whole.
Respectfully submitted, FINANCE COMMITTEE Joseph W. Gerniglia, Chairman

1963 Report
Veteran's
Benefit
To: Mr. John Stinson Town Manager
Dear Sir: I hereby submit my annual re- port of the Veterans Benefits De- partment.
In reviewing the work accom- plished In this department last year it will be noted that much was done to aid the needy veterans and his dependents.
There were 271 cases in the need handled with 582 persons receiving benefits. There were numerous requests for temporary aid while the head of the home was unemployed due to illness or lack of work.
The ever increasing cost of hos- pitalization and nursing home care makes it impossible to reduce the expenditures from this office. There were 350 persons seeking information from the Veterans Services Department.
There were over a hundred vet- erans having photostatic copies of their discharges. It appears they need them to apply for new employment.
Respectfully submitted, John T. Ludwig
Veterans Agent
1963 Report Planning Board
To the Town Manager:
In 1963, the Planning Board has been active on subdivisions and zoning.
The Town Meeting approved 100%, recommended changes in the Zoning By-Law, but the Attorney General disapproved the apart- ment-district zoning, The Planning Board appealed the Attorney Gen- eral's finding and complied with all demands from that office, but to date has had no reversal of the disapproval. The Board is work- ing in a different way for 1964 to accomplish approximately the same results.
The subdivision regulations are being more rigidly enforced be- cause of unfortunate experiences of the past years.
Studies are being made to acti- vate the Betterment Act which the town accepted several years ago. The Planning Board believes that many streets would have im- proved pavement and utilities, street abutters would be happier and the town would save money if action is taken on this propo- sition.
Respectfully submitted,
Lewis O. Gray, Chm.
