CONCLUSION.
We conclude our report, complimenting our fellow-citizens upon the peaceful relations that have publicly existed among them, and the good order that has prevailed in town during the year, which has materially assisted the officers in the discharge of their official duties ; but we regret to announce that Mr. William H. Lee declined a re-election on the board of selectmen, on the assigned cause of business engagements, for by his sound judg- ment and impartial conclusions, he has rendered valuable services in his present official capacity.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD A. UPTON, Chairman, WILLIAM H. LEE, R. S. STOUT, HOYT B. PARKER,
JAMES F. MANSFIELD, Secretary,
Selectmen of Wakefield.
