Work on the new station was commenced on June 4th, and prac- tically completed and occupied by the fire apparatus on Dec. 22nd.
The committee believe that the town has one of the best fire sta- tions to be found in any town, plain but substantial on the outside, modern, convenient and with all the up-to-date features on the in- side for quickness in responding to the alarms. There are accom- modations for seven horses, four sleeping rooms, engineer's office, bath room, toilet room, and a large and commodious cellar. The station is heated by steam and lighted by either gas or electricity.
The committee desire to express their appreciation to Mr. W. A. Prescott, representative of Roger Howard, for the faithful manner in which he has carried out the fulfillment of his contract, for the personal interest taken by him during the complete erection of the building.
The following are the sub-contractors for the different work on the building :
Foundation, A. A. Butler.
Brick work, Dunn & Ingraham.
Carpentering, Roger Howard.
Plastering, Hugh Morgan.
Plumbing, George H. Taylor.
Heating, Nutter & Seabury, Boston.
Electric work, R. J. Lawder.
Painting, James Sherritt.
Gas and electric fixtures, A. R. and A. H. Tarbell.
For itemized account of expenditures see Auditor's report. The chairman of the committee, Jacob C. Hartshorne, does not sign re- port, being absent from the state.

JONATHAN NICHOLS TEMPERANCE FUND, $1,000.
This fund was a gift to the town by the late Jonathan Nichols. The conditions of the trust 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 before he shall have become twenty-one years of age, and shall have kept his 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 town clerk's records show that 609 young men have enrolled their names under this pledge. Three whose names appear below
71
have been paid the fee during the past year, making a total of seventy-eight since the trust was received in March 1883. For the past year, for the first time, there has not been sufficient income to pay applicants promptly and they have been obliged to be put upon a waiting list until the interest upon the fund has matured, which is in June and December.
The fund is now invested in a note of the town of Wakefield (Armory Loan) due December 1, 1904, and bears interest at the rate of four per centum per annum.

C. SWEETSER LECTURE FUND, $10,000.
By the terms of this bequest this fund is for the purpose of provid- ing such lectures as will tend to improve the public mind. A reason- able fee is required and the net proceeds of the lectures are to be paid over to such charitable organization in the town of Wakefield as the municipal officers of the town may designate, to be distributed among the worthy poor of the town.
The sum of $400, as income of this fund for one year, has been paid to the Sweetser Lecture Committee.
Arrangements for this season's lectures are somewhat later than usual and therefore the results cannot be included in this report.
The fund has for several years been invested in notes of the town of Wakefield upon temporary loans, but, with the approval of the board of selectmen, it has been deemed wise to set aside for the present at least, bonds of the Sewerage Loan, which carry interest at three and one-half per centum per annum, and the funds are now invested as follows :
