Auditors' Final Statement.
The Board of Auditors herewith present to the town their report for the fiscal year ending Feb. 1, 1907.
From February 1, 1906, to February 1, 1907, the selectmen have drawn 3,08I orders on the town treasury, amounting to $224,039.89.
We have examined the vouchers for these payments and have also verified the arithmetic of all bills coming before the board of selectmen for payment during the year, and our report upon them will be found arranged in the departments to which they belong.
We have verified the accounts of such departments as pay money to the treasurer ; we have examined the books of the collector of taxes, and of Albert W. Flint, treasurer of the li- brary and reading room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Flint as town treasurer, and find them correct, with the proper vouchers for all payments made by him and that he has a cash balance of $11,935.39 in the Wakefield National bank.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits represent- ing the various trust funds now in his charge.
The unexpended balances of cemetery committee, common and park, water and railroad street land damages, school, pub- lic library, Richardson light guard, bell at Boyntonville, Gypsy and brown-tail moths, markers for Revolutionary graves, interest, $200.00 of town hall and $50.00 of miscella- neous, are available for next year, either on account of con- tracts pending, or by past votes of the town.
The overdraft on Main street land damages will be refunded to the town by the county, and the overdraft on highway and bridges and Municipal light plant will be charged against next year's business.
282
To make an insurance adjustment not planned for $54.44 was transferred by Selectmen from Miscellaneous Appropri- ation to Insurance Premium Account.
We have examined the accounts of the Municipal Light Plant and Water Department and find them to be correct.
All payments made by this department are paid by orders drawn by the Selectmen and vouchers for same are on file at the town hall where they may be seen at any time.
We invite any citizen who desires a closer knowledge of bills and accounts of the town to make application to this Board and same will be gladly answered.
In compliance with the vote of the town we have compiled the annual town report and submit the same.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES S. EMERSON, WILLAM O. ABBOTT, ARTHUR L. WILEY,
Auditors.

Thirty-second Annual Report of the Fish Committee.
The season of 1906 opened auspiciously June Ist, and closed Nov. Ist. Under the regulations of the State Board of Fisheries and Game, fishing was free to all on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday only of each week. A few reports of catches will be of interest :

WILEY'S BOAT-HOUSE.
We regret that we can make only a general estimate of the number of fish landed here ; but with the aid of our knowl- edge of the business done there heretofore, and figuring on the number of boats used, we are sure that the record at Wi- ley's, added to that at Rosson's, would show a grand total of at least 20,000 fishes taken from Lake Quannapowitt.
CRYSTAL LAKE.
This lake is practically closed to both boating and fishing, the most uurighteously and unlawfully, we have good reason to believe. But the time is not very far distant when the water of Crystal Lake will become unfit for domestic use by reason of a superabundance of fish, dead and alive, and all because
284
of the wholly mistaken idea and conclusion that fishing is per se and de facto, a nuisance and therefore a menace to health. Other towns think and act differently, allowing free fishing under suitable conditions and control, without trouble of any kind. It would be well for all interested if this matter could be settled, and the inalienable right of the people to take fish and water from this lake restored to them and established forever.
FISH FRY PLANTED.
In the year 1905, the Fish Commissioners of the State planted in Lake Quannapowitt 100,000 pike-perch fry. If they live and flourish, there should be some royal good sport in 1907 or '08, and a very valuable food supply will have been added to our already toothsome larder.
OUR GAME PRESERVES.
Game of all kinds was scarce in Wakefield and vicinity this season, and we have nothing of public interest to report.
EASTERN MIDDLESEX FISH AND GAME ASSOCIATION.
We note with much pleasure and interest the continued act- ivity and usefulness of this organization. Charles H. Nowell of Reading is president. We respectfully urge all lovers of fishing and hunting to become active members as soon as con- venient for them to do so.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Municipal Light Board
AND MANAGER
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1907.
286
Report of Municipal Light Board.
The Municipal Light Board presents herewith its 13th an- nual report for the year ending Jan. 31st, 1907. The mana- ger's report shows the financial and physical operation of the plant for the past year, and it is very gratifying to the Municipal Light Board, and we trust to the citizens of the town as well, to note the very large gain in the sale of gas and electricity and net receipts over the operation of last year.
The net sales of gas increased 19 % and the sales of elec- tricity 24% over 1906.
We are pleased to note a further reduction in the prices of gas and electricity as per the following schedule.
Beginning March Ist, 1907, gas and electricity will be billed at the following schedule prices :
GAS.
Gross price reduced from $1.70 to $1.50 per 1000 cubic feet with dis- counts for prompt payments as follows :
Discount.
Net per 1000 cu. ft
100 to 19,900 cubic feet per month, .20
$1.30
20,000 to 199,900 cubic feet per month, .

200,000 to 400,000 cubic feet per month, .
.40 1.10
400,000 cubic feet and over per month, .50 1.00
ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Gross price reduced from 20c. to 18c. per Kilo Watt hour with dis counts for prompt payments as follows :
Gross per k. w. .18
Discount
Net per k. w. per k. w.
House and Commercial lighting,

Store windows lighted every night until 9 p. m., Commercial lights burning until 12 m., three or more arc lamp lights, .18
.06 I2C.
Power rates one-half horse-power motors or greater, .07
with discounts from 2 to 3c. per K. W.
287
hour depending upon size of motor
and number of hours per day.
A charge of $1.00 per month per horse-power of motor will be made in addition to the regular rate for current.
A minimum charge of $1.00 per month will be made where the monthly bills do not equal that amount.
As we stated in our report of 1906, it would be necessary to increase the gas purification and condensing apparatus. With this in view a new addition was built to the old purify- ing room of sufficient size to accommodate the larger appara- tus which was installed in it.
The new apparatus is working satisfactorily, giving very good results, and is sufficient to meet the requirements of the plant for several years.
It has resulted in a better quality and increased out-put of gas.
The electric plant has been increased by a larger dynamo, and switch-board apparatus being installed in place of the former small one which gives us greater capacity and en- ables us to meet the increased business in this department.
The profits on the gas and electric business for this year show that if a reasonable price had been paid for the prop- erty when purchased, it would have been a very good asset for the town before this, yet, in view of this high price, with the results of this year before us, it shows a possibility of the plant's earning capacity.
The gas extension to Montrose is on the high pressure system and is giving good results, and with the earnings from Greenwood district, gives evidence that no mistake was made when this method was adopted for distribution of gas in these districts. It will be necessary this year to install a new bench of sixes in place of the bench of threes.
'There are now installed 129 arc and 171 incandescent lamps on the streets.
The enclosed arc lamps are giving very good satisfaction, and need very little attention. We ask for an appro- priation in accordance with the requirements of the amended act of the Legislature, as follows :

Under this statute we have the use of the depreciation fund for enlargements, renewals, extensions, reconstructions and additions ; therefore, we do not ask for any appropriation for gas and election extensions, or for the new bench.
We ask for an appropriation for street lighting as follows : 129 arc lamps at $75 each per annum, $9,675, and 171 incan- descent lamps at $15 each per annum, $2,565. Total, $12,- 240. We ask for this appropriation so that our report may indicate more clearly the financial operation of the electric department of the plant, and show in a proper manner the loss or gain of this department.
