DUTIES OF POLICE OFFICERS.
While the public in general have an understanding of the duties of police officers, it is very probable that many citizens do not fully realize the extent of the duties required of them. It would be a difficult undertaking, however, to explain the duties in every particular, but I wish to say a few words to the towns- people on this subject with the hope that citizens may appreciate more fully the amount of work entrusted to the department. First of all an officer is expected to be at his post of duty, disre-
132
garding the weather or other circumstances, and there are many things on his mind of which those whom he serves are not aware. His duties are not only varied, but they are often complicated, and frequently necessitate much personal risk, yet no matter how able or faithful an officer may be, there appears to be many who fail to recognize or realize this fact. As an instance of the duties performed by officers, I desire to call attention to the miscella- neous account in which the statement appears that 116 places of business were found open and secured. This may seem a small item, but it is of great significance, as nearly all the places were stores, and all of the cases occurred in the night, therefore many larcenies may have been prevented.
ILLEGAL LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
There have been the same number of search warrants issued and served and the same number of seizures as in the previous year, but I think I can safely say that the amount of traffic in the kitchen bar rooms (so called) has been less this year than any time in the past few years. I am willing to allow the respectable citizens who live in the vicinity of such places to decide. The fact that three fourths of the persons arrested for drunkenness during the past year obtained their liquor out of town will bear me out in this statement. Sixth class licenses for the sale of in- toxicating liquors have been issued to Wakefield druggists as in past years. I am aware of the criticism on the part of a few in regard to alleged illegal liquor selling in drug stores in no-license towns. I will venture to say that nine-tenths of those who criticise are unfamiliar with the law governing sales under sixth class licenses, or if they did have positive evidence of illegal sales, they would not go into court and testify. I have done all in my power to have the requirements of the existing law fulfilled. I have frequently examined the books kept for the purpose at the various stores, and in many instances have prohibited the selling of liquor to certain individuals, and I have reasons for believing that my requests are being complied with. I agree with law abiding citi- zens who desire to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor in town, but it should be borne in mind that it is no easy task to secure positive proof of illegal sales when the purchaser (and neighbors of the kitchen places) are in sympathy with the offender. Evi-
133
dence which to an ordinary citizen would appear sufficient to con- vict is often found to be of little importance in court, and for the above reasons it is hard to obtain the desired effect. As an in- stance of the above, a seizure was made in Wakefield the past year when nine quarts of whiskey were seized from one place at one time, and the case was lost in court, not on account of poor handling but for want of sufficient evidence that it was kept with intent to sell.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The department has been run as economically as possible the past year. There has been an increase in the demand for police service within the past few years, which has necessitated a cor- responding increase in the expenditures of the department. The appropriations for the department have been small in comparison with those of other towns of the size of Wakefield, and I would recommend a larger appropriation for the ensuing year. An appropriation of $1,500 is needed in order to enable the depart- ment to give the attention that the public call for and expect.
CONCLUSION.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen I extend my thanks for courtesies, and hereby acknowledge the interest which the mem- bers manifested in the department. To the night officers, each of whom have sought to promote the success of the department and have been of valued assistance to me, I extend my acknowledge- ments. My thanks are also due to the special officers for the willing and faithful performance of their disagreeble duties. To his Honor Judge John W. Pettengill I express my indebted- ness for kindly advice and assistance, and to Clerk William N. Tyler and his assistant, Wilfred B. Tyler, I am under obligations for many favors. I have endeavored to fulfill the duties required of me and trust that I have been impartial in the performance of the same.
Respectfully submitted,
ALVIN L. VANNAH, Chief of Police.

Report of Superintendent of Stone Crusher.
To the Honorable Board of Road Commissioners:
GENTLEMEN,-Having been appointed by the board to take charge of the stone crusher, ledge, etc., April 1st, 1892, and with instructions to keep a correct account of the cost of crushed stone, I submit the following report :
My first object after taking charge of the stone crusher was to obtain a first class engineer and a man to run the steam drill. I had no trouble in securing the services of an engineer, but was unable to obtain the services of a competent man to run the steam drill. After writing several letters and waiting ten days, or more, and not obtain- ing one, I decided to put the engineer on to the steam drill, and placed myself in his position (while he was running the drill). Of course there was a great deal for us to learn, but I was determined to start the works running, and they ran all right until the foundation of the crusher began to give away. We at once made an examina- tion and found as the frost came out of the ground the crusher be- gan to shake. The examination proved that the foundation had been placed on top of the soil and very near the surface, and the crusher had settled four and three-quarters (4 3-4) inches. We then built a new foundation by digging out about three feet of earth and made one of good stone.
I am satisfied the crusher is located in the wrong place to crush stone the most profitable way for the town.
As now located, the crushed stone has to be handled three times before it reaches the street to be macadamized, which has cost thirty (30) cents per ton to handle, that should not with the crusher in the proper place.

$1,795 66
Total cost, $1,795.66, or about one dollar and sixty-eight ($1.68) cents per ton.
In my opinion there should be deducted from the above cost the following items :
One-half of the lumber bill (as the lumber is on hand and
ought to be worth one-half it cost), $57 87
The cost of new foundation for crusher, . 15 50
The bill for new set of jaws and screen for crusher, 21 00
Cost building bins for crushed stone,
24 71
$119 08
With this amount deducted the cost of crushed stone would be reduced to about one dollar and fifty-seven ($1.57) cents per ton. And with the saving of handling, (thirty cents per ton) it would make the cost about one dollar and twenty-seven ($1.27) cents per ton.
.

1,068 1-2 tons
.
141
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I would recommend that the crusher and all of the machinery connected with it be removed down on a level with the street, for the following reasons :
First, (and above all other reasons)-That a thirty (30) feet more face can be added to the ledge, which means less cost of getting out and hundreds of tons of stone saved, which is lost by the crusher being on the hill.
Second-That there be elevators connected with the crusher so as to take the crushed stone, as fast as crushed, carry and drop it into bins built so that a cart can be placed under them and loaded with little or no expense, saving thirty (30) cents per ton, which it now costs for moving from crusher chutes to storing bins.
Third-If the crusher was down near the street all of the small boulders from gravel pits and taken from the streets, could be carted to the crusher and crushed, thereby saving the cost of quarrying, which is quite an item.
