granted. The company has made some restrictions, with which the public are familiar, but has left the fare from the square to Malden square unchanged.
These hearings were attended by the Board and the Town Counsel acting for the public.
PROTEST FROM WEST SIDE RESIDENTS.
A petition was received from citizens residing in the westerly part of the town requesting the board to take such action as would compel the Boston and Northern Street Railway Co., as successors to the Reading, Wakefield and Lynnfield Street Railway Co., to conform to the provisions of their franchise under date of October 3, 1901, relative to the operation and maintenance of tracks and service on what is now known as the Chestnut and Prospect St. line in Wakefield.
In this franchise the company agrees to run its cars from 7.45 o'clock a. m. to 10 o'clock p. m. Sundays. Other days from 6 o'clock a. m. to 10 o'clock p. m., not less than twice each hour each way.
The company adopted a new schedule of running time, which went into effect on Wednesday, November 8, 1905, on this line, thereby violating the provisions of their fran- chise in two ways. First-Only one trip each hour, each way, is now run. Second-The service does not commence until 7 o'clock a. m. daily.
The protesters contend, in which contention the board strongly concurs, that public convenience .and necessity ro- quire a full compliance with the provisions of said fran- chise.
The board requested the Town Counsel to submit to them his written opinion as to the legal status of the franchise provisions, and upon receipt of same the following letter, together with the Town Counsel's opinion, was ordered sent

to the officials of the Boston & Northern Street Railway Co.
Wakefield, Mass, Nov. 23, 1905.
To the Boston & Northern St. Ry. Co., as successors to the Read- ing, Wakefield and Lynnfield St. Ry. Co.
Boston, Mass.
Gentlemen :
We desire to call your attention to your violation of that part of your contract with the town of Wakefield, under date of Oct. 3, 1901, by which you agree in consideration of the franchise then granted to you, to run your street railway cars on the Chestnut and Prospect St. line, so called, not less than twice each hour each way on week days from 6 o'clock a. m. to 10 o'clock p. m. and on Sun- days from 7.45 o'clock a. m. to 10 o'clock p. m. The violation of your obligation and contract causes great inconvenience to the pub- lic and has given rise to a serious and general protest by the people, not only in the Park section, but throughout the town, and we re- spectfully request that the rights granted under the afore mentioned franchise be immediately restored.
We herewith call your attention to the advice and ruling of our Town Counsel, to whom was referred the subject matter of this request.
OPINION OF THE TOWN COUNSEL.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Town of Wakefield.
Gentlemen :
Complying with your vote of Nov. 16th, relating to the Street Railway location grants, I would advise you that the condition in- serted in and made a part of the location grant to the Reading, Wakefield and Lynnfield St. Ry. Co., Oct. 3, 1901, the successors to said company being the Boston & Northern St. Ry. Co., requiring cars to be run twice an hour each way on the route to the corner of Prospect St. and Park Ave., was authorized by the Street Railway company then existing and enforceable by application to the court. I consider the condition to be in law and effect a regulation and by
4
46
an amendment (Chap. 376 of 1905) a penalty for violation is pro- vided, not exceeding $500.00 for each violation.
As the regulation was in effect and legal at the time of passage of Chap. 376 of 1905, the present requirement that regulations be approved by the Railroad Commissioners, does not effect its validity, new regulations will have to have their approval.
I therefore advise you that your board may prefer complaints for past violations, and by bill in equity ask the court to compel an observance of the conditions referred to. ·
Respectfully submitted,
M. E. S. CLEMONS, Town Counsel.
Trusting your honorable company will see the right and justice of this demand and restore the privileges so recently . withdrawn. We beg to remain,
Yours very truly, CHARLES E. WALTON, Clerk of Selectmen.
Following is the reply sent by the company, which is self-explanatory :
Boston, Dec. 4, 1905.
Mr. Chas. E. Walton, Clerk. Board of Selectmen, Wakefield, Mass.
Dear Sir :
Yours of the 23d ultimo, together with a copy of the opinion of the Town Counsel, relative to the number of cars operated by this company, on Chestnut and Prospect streets, Wakefield, received and noted. Owing to the absence of our counsel from this city, I was unable to reply definitely sooner.
This company is satisfied as to the legality of its action in changing the schedule on the streets referred to, and will not volun- tarily increase it unless the business will justify such increase.
Very respectfully,
P. F. SULLIVAN, President.
Boston & Northern St. Ry. Co.
47
Upon receipt of the above communication the board voted Dec. 7th, to instruct the Town Counsel to take such legal steps as may be necessary to enforce the conditions of said franchise.
The matter is now in the hands of the Town Counsel.
METROPOLITAN PARK.
The apportionment of the cost and maintenance has been fixed for the next five years by a special commission, who after several days of hearings adopted as a fair basis, the valuation of the municipalities except in the case of boule- vards, in which case they placed 50 per cent. on the Com- monwealth, 12 1-2 per cent. on the Metropolitan district and the remaining 37 1-2 per cent. on the municipalities as per valuation. The above methods were contended for by Wakefield and other towns.
MYSTIC RIVER BRIDGE.
After hearing counsel representing the municipalities in- volved, the same Commission made no special award against Wakefield, which therefore will pay only as a part of the Metropolitan Park District.
CHARLES RIVER DAM AND BASIN.
The same Commission after hearing the evidence, report- ed to the Court that the work had not progressed sufficiently to enable them to make an award.
48
Legal Department.
This important department of our town affairs has been under the control and supervision of M. E. S. Clemons, Town Counsel. His services have been invaluable, both to the Town and its Official Boards, who are obliged, in pursuit of their various duties, to frequently call upon him for counsel and advice.
Ability, promptness, courtesy and efficiency have character- ized the work of this department throughout the year.

Fire Department.
The department is managed in a very satisfactory and economical manner by an able and efficient chief and two assistant engineers. It is in a most excellent condition both as to apparatus and stations, and its members have at all times performed all that could be reasonably expected of them. No serious fires have occurred during the last year, yet we should not overlook the fact that the liability from year to year does not grow less, and it is for the interest of the Town to have the equipment in first class condition at all times. The recommendation of the engineers advis- ing the purchase of a combination wagon is by vote of the - town now in the hands of a competent committee, who will report at the annual Town Meeting as to the advisability of the town purchasing one. The grand success in towns by the large saving of water damage by the use of the chemical at- tachment is reason enough for the town to give the same its serious consideration.
There have been seventy-three applications for building permits, aggregating an amount of $157,000, all of which have been investigated, and on recommendation of your committee have been granted.
The earnings of the department horses have been the larg- est since the town purchased them, and no small amount of credit is due Supt. Peckham for his hearty co-operation with the engineers in giving at all times the town horses the preference for the town work. The engineers have by this showing not only been able to keep within their appropria- tion, but will be able to turn over to the town a substantial unexpended balance.
51
ENGINEERS' REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the custom of past years, the Board of Fire Engineers herewith submit their annual report, wherein are given records of the fires which have occurred during the year commencing Feb. 1, 1905, and ending Jan. 31, 1906, the financial statement of the department, and the force of men and apparatus connected with the same.
APPARATUS AND MEN.
The apparatus of the department consists of one second class Silsby Steamer, one Hook and Ladder truck, two hose wagons and three hose reels.

HORSES, APPARATUS AND HOSE,
The department has seven horses all in good condition. When possible they have been used in highway work and street sprinkling in the summer, and on the snow plows (four) in the winter. One man and one horse are stationed at the Central Fire Station at all times, and during the past year they have responded to 29 still alarms and 27 box
56
alarms. When necessary, repairs have been made on the ap- paratus of the department, and all of the various pieces are now in good condition. The supply of hose is at present suf- ficient, and it will probably not be necessory to purchase any during the coming year.
ACCIDENTS.
While responding to an alarm of fire April 24th, Morrison Merrill of the Steamer Hose Company was injured in at- tempting to jump aboard the Hook and Ladder Truck, and was confined for several weeks.
