It will be found, we think, that the collections of various combustible materials, - fancy decorations, paper, straw, lumber, etc.,-which are temporarily deposited in the base- ment, and which add to the ordinary perils from fire, are almost wholly the result of the use of the building for other than its designed municipal, memorial and literary purposes.

STREET LAMPS.
The sum heretofore annually appropriated for use in this department, has been found sufficient only to light the lamps on about one-half of the evenings of each month, and scarce- ly warrants the putting up of additional lamps.
One additional lamp has been placed on Water street, per town instructions, and the appropriation for the year has been exceeded.
Applications are on file for placing lamps at points not now supplied and where they may be needed ; and it would be pleasant, at least, if the lamps could be lighted on cloudy evenings,-a result apparently to be secured by a LARGER appropriation in this department.

FIRES, ALARMS, ACCIDENTS.
The loss by fire the past year, with the exception of forest fires, has been unusually light. There has been a great cut- ting off by fire of the prospective growth of many acres of young wood, and more vigorous efforts should be taken to insure the detection and conviction of the incendiaries who cause this wanton destruction.
There have been several still alarms taken care of by the Engineers, Police and others.
Following is a list of fires causing a general alarm and re- sponse by the Department.
April 17th, 1882. Fire in woods at Greenwood, started in six different localities, involving the destruction of sheds, &c., in the picnic grove. Loss, unestimated. Cause, incen- diary. Capt. John H. Emerson, a veteran fireman was thrown down and run over by the Yale Engine, and severely bruised.
June 29th, 1882. Fire at Reading. Chief Engineer Lang called for assistance. Steamer Lucius Beebe and Washing- ton Hook and Ladder Co. responded, rendering valuable service. Steamer used for the first time at a fire.
Aug. 6th. Fire in the woods at Greenwood. Loss un- known. Cause, incendiary. Capt. Wm. B. Daniel, 1st Engineer of the Steamer, in leaping for his place on the En- gine while it was in motion, was badly cut in the forehead by coming in contact with one of the iron arms which hold the hose. This, and the one above mentioned, are the only accidents in the department during the past year.
Aug. 25th. Fire in the woods at Greenwood. Loss, unknown. Cause, incendiary.
Sept. 1st. A barn belonging to J. E. & L. Emerson. Loss about $400. Insured for $200. Cause unknown.
Oct. 13. Dwelling house of Patrick Fay burned. Val- ued at $450, mostly covered by insurance. Cause, supposed to be a defective chimney.
140
Nov. 9th. Fire in a chest at the house of Michael Welch. Damage slight.
Dec. 18. Fire at the house of Lorenzo D. Bragg. Ex- tinguished with a Johnson Pump. Damage slight. Fully insured. Cause, incendiary.
The reiterated appeals for better protection against fire, which have been sounded almost continuously during the past ten or twelve years, were answered at the last annual meeting by a vote of the town ordering the purchase of Fifty Johnson Pumps and a Steam Fire Engine, and committees were chosen to carry the vote into effect.
After careful investigation the Committee on purchase of a Steamer contracted for a Silsby engine. and voted unani- mously to request Mr. Lucius Beebe, an honored citizen, to allow his name to be placed thereon. The Engine arrived within the time specified, and at the trial proved satisfactory beyond the utmost expectations of the Committee. It has never failed in the slightest degree, is all that was promised, and has been tried many times, and twice with continuous service handsomely performed.
We desire to congratulate the Town on our good fortune in securing the services of Capt. Wm. B. Daniel and Mr. E. I. Purington as Engineers in charge of this splendid piece of machinery, and feel assured that it will suffer no detri- ment at their hands.
A Supply Wagon has been purchased for the use of the Department, and a Steam Heater from the Silsby Manufac- turing Company, which fully sustains their high reputation as makers of practical and reliable apparatus. It has worked most successfully the past winter, maintaining a pressure of from two to five pounds of steam in the boiler of the engine, is invaluable, and with proper care will do service for many years.
Johnson Pumps and buckets have been distributed in dangerous and remote localities throughout the town, and if
141
properly managed on the breaking out of fire, if they do not extinguish, may hold it in check until the arrival of heavier apparatus, and thus prevent what might otherwise prove a disastrous conflagration.

The cost of the Fire Department the past year exceeded the amount estimated, but several much needed and perma- nent improvements have been made, for which see report of the Auditors on page 73; and we would recommend for the year ensuing that the sum of $2100 be raised and appropria- ted for the Fire Department.
We are not unmindful of the generous gift of valuable property from the Yale Engine Company to the town, and shall ever hold the act in grateful remembrance, and in thanking them for the same in behalf of the town, beg that they will accept additional thanks for serving Tas volunteers from May 1st until the arrival of the Steamer Lucius Beebe.
And it is our pleasure to speak in the highest praise of the officers and members of the entire department, for their

zeal, promptness, efficiency, obedience to orders, gentleman- ly bearing and hearty co-operation at all times. To you all our thanks are due. Also to the officers of the town, and those citizens, who by word or deed have aided your en- deavors.
The Fountain Engine Company still maintain their estab- lished reputation as good firemen, with no other reward than the satisfaction of " well doing," thus winning the gratitude of the community, and our thanks.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF FISH COMMITTEE.
The Fish Committee of Wakefield herewith submit their seventh annual report.
Three hundred and thirty-seven permits were issued to the inhabitants of Wakefield to fish in the waters of Lake Quannapowitt, 79 returns have been made, 28 of this num- ber were not used at all, while 51 that were used, show a catch of 1664 pounds of fish.
Your Committee have asked repeatedly that the holders of 258 permits make return thereon. The request is not an unreasonable one, and should have been complied with at the close of the fishing season, that we might have made proper and prompt return to the State Commissioners, re- garding the condition of our fisheries, and in accordance with the agreement with the State authorities.
We are fully aware that among those, who are thus thoughtlessly withholding information, are some of our most diligent and skillful fishermen, and with the returns of their catch alone, a considerable aggregation would be made in the figures.
The State Commissioners have frequent applications from parties who wish to engage in fish culture, and lease any available lake, and are willing to pay for the same, and care- fully regard the reasonable and proper regulations.
If the people of this town find the lease of their lake trans- ferred to others, they can only say, "we were unwilling to comply with the rules, and so our lake has passed into the hands of a company who will kindly catch and sell us the fish."
147
The Commissioners have sent your Committee the follow- ing
NOTICE.
"We would remind lessees of ponds that they are re- quired, by their leases, to use all reasonable efforts to stock their ponds, and keep accurate records of the same, and make returns of their doings to the Commissioners on the 1st of November of each year, of the number and species of fish which they have put in or removed from their ponds.
Any failure to comply with these conditions is a breach of contract invalidating their lease. It is important that the State should know just what is being done, and where there appears to be mismanagement or apparent failure, the Com- missioners will visit the ponds and ascertain, if possible, the cause."
Your Committee noticing that the alewives did not come from the sea up Saugus river, at the usual time, supposed that it was owing to the coldness of the water and stormy weather, but the continued delay led to an investigation; when it was found that the fish ways were all right, and that a large seine was stretched across the river with each incom- ing tide, and the fish on their annual migration to Lake Quannapowitt passed into the net, and thence into barrels. An old fisherman and one well qualified to judge, estimated that this seine had taken more than sixty thousand alewives, which sold at $12.50 per thousand. These seiners did not interfere with the alewives going up the Flax Pond brook to the city of Lynn, for they knew better than that, nor did they remain long in the river after your Committee were afloat, but pulled up their net and escaped, though closely pursued, to the open sea.
As it was then the last of the season and the run of fish nearly over, very few came into our lake.
It would seem that some system of combined operation should prevail among the Fish Committees of the different
148
municipalities bordering on a river, for the better protection of the migratory fish.
We have reason to hope the State Commissioners will look after this interest the coming season.
.
By a comparison of the anglers' returns of the past season it appears that Mr. David Ogilvie captured the most bass (30), and the most perch (835), and the greatest total num- ber and the greatest total weight (369 lbs.). Mr. J. C. Hartshorne took the largest number of pickerel (43). The bass varied in weight from one-half pound to four pounds and the pickerel from one-half pound to five pounds.
Following is a statement of the catch of fish as far as we have been able to obtain it :

To the Committee on Water Supply,
WAKEFIELD, Mass.
GENTLEMEN :-- The Quannapowitt Water Company, hav- ing given due attention to the problem of supplying the village of Wakefield with pure water for any and all purposes, and obtained the necessary surveys and levels, submit the following plan as the result of the investigation.
The source of supply is to be Crystal Lake,from which the water is to be pumped to an elevation one hundred and
152
eighty-one (181) feet above the level of the underpinning of the Town Hall.
This water level is to be maintained at all times and will give a pressure per square inch at the Town Hall of 78 lbs. ; at the Rattan Works 86 lbs. : on the summit of Pleasant street 64 lbs. ; at Wakefield Railroad station 80 lbs. ; at cor- ner of Main and Cordis streets 81 lbs.
The piping is planned to give a modern fire service over the area shown on the map submitted herewith, and is com- petent for ten fire streams eighty (80) feet high on Main street ; six streams to the same height on the outer circuit of piping, including Pleasant street.
The main pipe line is to be twelve (12) inches in diame- ter, and will be laid through Albion street to Main street. The pipe on Main street is to be ten (10) inches in diameter from Salem to Richardson street, and other pipes as shown on the plan and in the schedule below.
The total length of pipe will be as follows :
12 inch,
7,200 feet.

not including pipe for hydrant branches.
All necessary stop-gates for shutting off sections of the piping are to be placed on the mains, and all piping is to be laid at a standard depth and in the most permanent manner.
Sixty (60) fire hydrants are to be placed on the piping at convenient points for fire service, and are to be of approved pattern with suitable outlet.
It is the intention of the Company to contract immediately for the entire work and to stipulate, in such contract, that
153
the introduction of water into Wakefield, by the plan herein proposed be accomplished at the earliest practicable date.
