The apparatus remains the same as last year. The new Ladder truck voted for by the town during the past year has been contracted for and is ready for delivery, and when the new engine house is com- pleted will be put in service and will be a valuable addition to the town's service.
The Hose carriage attached to the Steamer Co. is in a very unre- liable and dangerous condition. It is completely worn out and in our opinion not worth repairing. It is liable to break down at any time and perhaps at just the time when most needed. We would
90
earnestly recommend a new Hose wagon, as this piece of apparatus is too important to be in its present condition.
FIRES AND ALARMS.
We have had during the past year on several occasions what at first threatened to be serious conflagrations, but by their early dis- covery, prompt arrival and hard work by our Department, they were fortunately checked before making much headway.

FIRE ALARM.
The fire alarm was during the past year extended to the west part of the town and a box located on West Chestnut street, near the en- trance of Wakefield park. We renew the recommendation of former Boards to locate a box at the corner of Vernon and Salem streets, also one at the corner of Traverse and Bennett streets. The follow- ing is the location of boxes :-
6, Woodville, opposite Poor Farm.
12, Greenwood.
13, Boyntonville.
15, Junction, near Block & Cate's.
23, Hamilton School.
26, West Chestnut street, near entrance to Wakefield Park.
27, Railroad street, corner Church.
31, Rattan Company's Office.
92
35, Post Office.
37, Corner Main and Salem streets.
41, North Ward.
54, East Ward.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We desire at this time to call your attention to that part of the- town west of the Boston & Maine Road, that is without any fire pro- tection in its immediate locality. It is a section which is rapidly being built up, more so, perhaps, than any other part of the town. We would recommend the transfering of one of the Hose companies now in the centre of the town, to that locality.
By reference to the expenditures of the Department it will be seen that the expense for horse hire is getting to be quite an item. As there are several towns in the state of about our size, who own their own horses for fire and road departments to advantage, we see no reason why we could not do the same. As this question is getting to be a serious one, we are in hopes the town will, in the near future, give it their serious consideration.
CONCLUSION.
We sincerely return our thanks to the Honorable Board of Select- men for their hearty co-operation at all times, to Chief of Police Vannah and the officers under his command for the assistance they have rendered us, to each officer and member of the Department, for their prompt and efficient manner in discharging the duty belong- ing to them, we are especially indebted, and to all others who have rendered us assistance we return our heart-felt thanks.

Board of Health Report.
The Health Department of the town for the past year has been carefully managed and we are happy to say that there is nothing dis- agreeable to report. The health of the community has been up to its average and the death rate is much lower than last year.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
There has been no severe run of contagious disease and those that have occurred have been of a mild character. The list of conta- gious diseases from Feb. 1, 1892, to Feb. 1, 1893, is as follows :-
Diphtheria, 5 ; Scarlet Fever, 46; Measles, 37; Typhoid Fever, 14. Many of the cases of Scarlet Fever have been reported during January of this year, there being 25 reported for that month. We do not anticipate a continuance of it, and have no reason to fear an epidemic. The usual number of cases of Typhoid Fever is 5 or 6 for the whole year, and to have 14 reported indicates that the cause of the epidemic of 1891 still exists.
The appearance of contagious disease in a community fills the souls of parents with fear and trembling and the anxiety that attends its presence causes many a sleepless night among householders. There is good cause for alarm too, for sad experience has taught that no epidemic comes without the black mark of mourning being left on some house and a vacancy made that can never be filled.
The history of contagious disease is the history of sorrow, incon- venience and expense. This is all known and understood by the people and yet we have year after year a run of some kind of disease that is unnecessary and preventable. It will seem to most people a bold statement to say that epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Measles, etc., are as avoidable and uncalled for as a run of Asiatic Cholera, but it is nevertheless true. Were the same precautions taken to prevent contagion in the former as are taken in the latter, we would be sub- ject to it just as unfrequently. The diminution in the number and severity of cases at present compared with those in the past will prove this, and it will be seen more clearly in the future when the
94
public are educated to a more active knowledge of contagion. The principal reason for the spread of these diseases is the carelessness and indifference of those who have charge of the sick person, and often the neglect to use even ordinary means to prevent conveying the disease germs to the well.
Where a case of contagious disease occurs the attending physician is always careful to give instructions as to isolation, disinfection, etc., the health authorities placard the house to warn the public of the danger, and then it is expected that the family of the patient will simply follow the instructions given and use ordinary care and judg- ment, consulting the medical attendant or health officials when in doubt.
The physician cannot be with his patient all the time neither should the health officer have to be present continually to see that the regulations are carried out ; so the responsibility for the spread of the disease must and does fall upon those who have charge of the sick person.

HEALTH INSPECTOR.
During the summer it was thought best to determine the exact sanitary condition of the town, so as to see how much voluntary at- tention was paid by the people to our health regulations.
95
Accordingly, in August we appointed Mr. O. G. Sanborn to make a tour of the town, to visit and inspect dwellings and premises, to determine all sources of nuisances, keep a record of the same, and report daily to the health officer.
This was in addition to the regular work performed by Mr. Vannah and the inspection was made during the hottest time of the year, when there was most danger from nuisances.
After our experience with Typhoid Fever last year we desired if possible to prevent a return of the disease during the fall months of the year, and ordered the Inspector to be very strict and thorough in his work, and to see that every nuisance or possible cause of sickness was immediately abated. The results showed the value of the work done and we would recommend that it be repeated next year. The town as a whole was found to be in a very fair condition and it was evident that an effort was being made to comply with our rules and to keep premises in a proper sanitary state. Still there were places that were no credit to the owners and many of them in the heart of the town. One of the worst places visited was in the rear of a busi- ness block on Main street. The Inspector's report shows that 850 places were visited, 12 written notices to abate served, besides num- erous verbal ones, and four new cesspools ordered built. The work as done by Mr. Sanborn was faithfully attended to and the regula- tions strictly enforced.
THE GAS COMPLAINT.
In October a petition signed by six reputable citizens was presented to the Board complaining that "the exercise of the trade or employ- ment of manufacturing and selling gas as carried on by the Citizens' Gas Light Company of Reading, South Reading and Stoneham is a nuisance," etc., and that it put in jeopardy the lives of the inhabi- tants, and praying that it be forbidden within the limits of the town.
This complaint was of such a serious nature that we decided to inspect the works of the Gas company, and also give a public hear- ing so that both complainants and representatives of the company might be heard on the matter. An inspection of the works showed no nuisance and as far as we were able to judge the manufacture of gas was properly conducted. At the hearing nothing was brought out to substantiate the complaint and accordingly it was dismissed.
SEWERAGE.
This Board has no new suggestions to make on the sewerage ques-
96
tion as it is practically settled and awaits only a vote of the town to commence construction. The whole matter has been carefully gone into on two separate occasions, plans have been drawn after a care- ful survey of the town, and all the preliminary work done. There seems to be but one plan of disposal suitable to the conditions found in the town, and that is advised by the best sanitary authority in the state, the State Board of Health, and by all the engineers who have considered the matter. There is no question about obtaining the consent of the Legislature to raise money to put in the plant, and it now rests with the citizens themselves as to when they will have the town properly sewered.
COLLECTION OF SWILL.
At the fall town meeting a vote was passed instructing the Board of Health to let the collection of swill within the limits of the town to the lowest responsible bidder. Bids were advertised for and we received six, varying in amount from $495 to $8co. The bids were considered and the award made, but no further action was taken as we found the town had made no appropriation for this purpose, and there was no regular appropriation that it could be drawn from. We decided to let the matter rest until the annual town meeting when we will ask the town to make an appropriation to cover the amount named by the successful bidder.
Respectully submitted,
J. C. OXLEY, Chairman, J. A. O'LEARY, M. D., Secretary, A. L. VANNAH, Health Officer.

TREASURER'S REPORT.
To the Citizens of Wakefield :
I herewith present my report of matters connected with the Treasurer's department for the fiscal year closing Feb. 1, 1893.
TRUST FUNDS.
EZRA EATON BURIAL LOT FUND, $100.
This fund was a gift to the town March 2, 1857, the income of which is used at the discretion of the Board of Selectmen to keep in repair the burial lot of the late Ezra Eaton.
The sum of $3 has been expended in the care of the lot during the past year.
THE FLINT MEMORIAL FUND, $1,000.
This fund, from Mrs. Harriet N. Flint, is for the benefit of the Beebe Town Library, the interest thereon to be expended in the purchase of books.
The sum of $60 as interest one year to Feb. 1, 1893, has been credited to the Library Account.
DR. F. P. HURD LIBRARY FUND, $2500.
This fund is for the benefit of the Beebe Town Library, and is invested in coupon notes of the town of Wakefield, bearing interest · at the rate of four per centum per annum.
C. WAKEFIELD LIBRARY FUND, $500.
This fund is also for the benefit of the Library, and is invested in the same manner as the Dr. Hurd Fund.
JONATHAN NICHOLS TEMPERANCE FUND, $1,000.
This fund was a gift to the town on certain conditions as described in the vote accepting the same. The conditions are such that any young man of our town, who files his name with the Town Clerk, before he is sixteen years of age, and declares his intention not to· · drink intoxicating liquors, and not to smoke or chew tobacco, until he shall become twenty-one years of age, and shall have kept his
100
pledge until that time, shall receive from the income of the fund the sum of ten dollars, together with a certificate of commendation from the Selectmen.
The records of the Town Clerk show that 338 young men have thus pledged themselves and the Treasurer has paid the fee to four young men the past year who have arrived at the age of twenty-one years, and certified that they have kept their pledge, making a total of twenty-five since the fund became operative.

The income from this fund for one year, $400, has been paid to Thomas J. Skinner, Treasurer of Sweetser Lectures.
This fund is for the purpose of providing such lectures as will tend to improve the public mind. A reasonable fee for admission is re- quired, and the net proceeds of the course are to be paid to such charitable organization in said Wakefield as the municipal officers of the town may designate, to be distributed among the worthy poor of the town.
Last year the Treasurer was unable to render a report of the sixth annual course as the lectures were not completed in season to include it. Both the sixth and seventh courses are therefore given in this report.
