As shown above the town must carry additional insurance to the amount of $116,900, to bring its total of insurance to the 80 per cent. of value on buildings, and 90 per cent. of value on contents, making the aggregate insurance carried $391,300. Owing to the reduction in rate on the insurance as a whole, the town is enabled to place the amount former- ly carried, as well as the additional insurance, at no greater annual cost than heretofore, and to enjoy the protection against fire loss that it should.
The Board have under consideration two plans for ar- ranging the matter of insurance, First-the cancellation of all policies, and the re-writing of same, together with the ad- ditional insurance, under the new form and rate ; Second- to attach the new forms to all existing policies as well as to
.
/
120
the policies for the additional insurance to be placed, allow- ing existing policies to run to date of expiration.
The Board is in favor of the first proposition, which will allow the re-writing of a greater number of the policies under an even date. This will dispose of considerable of the labor of handling the insurance of the town, and will also enable companies carrying more than one policy to combine them in one, thus reducing the number of policies. Under this method there will be required an appropriation but once in five years, and while this will be large at the time it is made, the total cost for five years will not be greater than the total amount annually appropriated for five years.
The Board would also recommend that as any loss that may occur is payable to the Town Treasurer, that all poli- cies be placed in his custody.
The Board extends its thanks to the Insurance Agents of the town who have greatly aided them in securing this re- duction in rate, and to Mr. Fred B. Carpenter, who gener- ously donated the new forms which are to be attached to the policies.
The Board has held weekly meetings up to the present time and while their labors have been arduous, they feel that the results obtained will be of great benefit to the town in the future, and that the town's insurance is now estab- lished on a sound basis.

Report of the Inspector of Milk.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JAN. 31, 1906.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wakefield, Mass. :
The Collector of Samples has delivered to me for exami- nation during the fiscal year just closed, one hundred and twenty-one (121) samples of milk from milk wagons, stores, etc., and dairies.
The average percentage of all samples taken was as fol- lows : total milk solids 13.036 per cent., butter fat 3.832 per cent.
In addition to the milk brought in by the Collector many samples have been examined for milk dealers in order thåt they might be informed on the condition of their supply, and be as far as possible protected.
No prosecutions have been made in court during the year, but in several instances notices have been sent to deal- ers, in cases where milk of unsatisfactory quality has been furnished.
I believe that the average quality of milk sold in our mar- ket is as high as can reasonably be expected, and that if we have further improvement, it must be looked for in the di- rection of better sanitary conditions in the production, stor- age and distribution.
It would be a change in the right direction to place the milk inspection in the care of the Department of Public Health.
They have the authority to make such rules as are neces- sary to secure the distribution of milk from healthy cows, kept in clean stables, and distributed in a cleanly way.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSIAH S. BONNEY.

Report of the Inspector of Animals.
WAKEFIELD, MASS., JAN. 25, 1906.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wakefield, Mass. :
I respectfully submit the following report for the past year.
I have found that three horses have had the disease known as Glanders, and reported the same to the State Board. The horses were by order of the State Board killed, and the stables thoroughly disinfected.
. One cow was shipped into Wakefield from out of the State and was suspected of having tuberculosis, but upon due ex- amination it was ascertained the cow was in perfect health. I have made the inspection, and have found stables and cat- tle to be for the most part well taken care of. There have been few exceptions which have been remedied.
I am glad to report the Town to be free from any cases of an infectious nature among animals. I am also able to re- port that the stables, barns and cattle are well taken care of. Respectfully yours,
DR. PALMER CORBETT,
Inspector of Animals.

GYPSY MOTHS.
In relation to gypsy moths I find that the town in com- parison to those south, east and west of us is comparatively free of them, with the exception of colonies on private prop- erty, which can be exterminated from those places by persis- tant effort. One reason accounting for this town not being so badly infested as other towns was our thorough burlap- ing of trees and killing the caterpillars day by day, whereby
124
great quantities were destroyed. All gypsy moth nests have been painted as far as we have been able to find them. One advantage in fighting the gypsy moth is the female does not fly, therefore depositing the eggs in the location where the moth emerges from the pupa, great care should be used in examining fences, stone walls, piles of brush and stone for nests. I would also recommend all tin can refuse be buried, as great quantities of nests having been found in old tins thrown around.
BROWN TAIL MOTHS.
I am glad to report on the brown tail moth that we find one-half, if not more dead in their nests, but up to the pres- ent time there is no sure accounting for it.
The Town property including the parks have been thor- oughly cleaned of them.
In my judgment spraying the trees is the most economi- cal and effective way to destroy the brown tail moths. Last summer when spraying was commenced the moths had been out 10 days, but in all nests I have examined in districts sprayed I did not find a live caterpillar, and if trees are sprayed before the eggs are laid, and up to the time of hatching, I am satisfied it will do the work required.
Respectfully submitted,

Superintendent.
Report of Sweetser Lecture Committee.
MARCH 15, 1905.
The Committee submits herewith its report of the Lecture Course for the season of 1904-5. The Committee believes that the best interests of the Course would be subserved by
125
appointing the Committee in the early spring each year. In order to secure the best lecturers engagements have to be made, as a rule, five or six months ahead. When the Com- mittee attempted to secure some of the famous lecturers who appeared in our Course it was found that available dates were already filled, and larger prices had to be paid than would have been demanded had engagements been sought earlier.

Conclusion.
TREASURER'S BOND.
United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co., $25,000, expires April 29, 1906.
TAX COLLECTOR'S BOND.
Fidelity and Deposit Co., of Maryland, $15,000, expires July 19, 1906.
The Board of Selectmen has held fifty-two regular and four special meetings during the year, and twenty-two spec- ial meetings acting in conjunction with the Town Treasurer as a special committee on Town Insurance.
There have been 3,126 orders drawn on the Town Treas- urer, aggregating $202,040.75.
Applications for 73 building permits have been granted, representing an estimated value of $157,000. This is a sub- stantial increase over last year, and augurs well for the fu- ture growth and development of our town.
This year has been an exceptionally busy one for your Board. Each succeeding year witnesses an increasing volume of miscellaneous business, all of which has to be carefully investigated and considered.
Matters of small or large import have received the same careful scrutiny and consideration, in the treatment of which the members have given unstintingly of their time, labor and best efforts.
The special work assigned the Board and Town Treas- urer of rearranging and readjusting the insurance in force on the several town properties was necessarily a slow and
130
tedious process, requiring twenty-two special meetings, to- gether with a vast amount of outside labor, research and investigation, for a full and comprehensive, and we are pleased to state, beneficial consideration of the subject.
Success has crowned our labors. The New England In- surance Exchange has under date of Nov. 18, 1905, es- tablished a new rate of $1.35, 5 years, which is a much lower rate than the town has heretofore been enjoying. Un- der this reduced rate the town is enabled to carry $116,900 additional insurance, at practically the same cost as under the old rate.
For further details we refer to the special report on Town Insurance, Page 112.
In closing we desire to express our thanks and apprecia- tion to the several boards of the Town, and the citizens generally for their support and co-operation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS G. O'CONNELL, Chairman. GEORGE W. ABBOTT, Secretary, NATH'L E. CUTLER. FRANK T. WOODBURY. LEVI FLANDERS.
