All bills are paid.
Some of our streets will need considerable work done the coming year, for instance : North avenue from Church to Yale avenue; Lafayette street, Sweetser street, New Salem street. Main street junction hill is in bad shape and will need repairing the coming year ; also the water will have to be taken care of. Some of our sidewalks will need considerable work done next year. Our concrete walks will need repairing, and ought to be met with a special appropriation to cover the whole town.
The concrete appropriation, as it has been the last few years, will be all taken up with new work, as there are now several applicants who have been waiting for two years.
There was a considerable expense this year building fences where the gypsy moth men cut down trees.
Preference was given to men and horses of the fire depart- ment at all times.
We have laid over 4000 feet of drain pipe the past year, and will help to take care of the surface water in years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
D. C. GREANY, Supt. Streets.
Police Department.
This Department has rendered efficient service during the past year under Chief H. G. Brockbank.
Care of the Park Police was assumed by this department early last Spring. The results accomplished have been very gratifying to the Board, and they are of the opinion that this work should be continued.
The figures and facts submitted in the Chief's Report give you a comprehensive view of the work accomplished.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
I would recommend the adoption of so much of chap. 19 of the Revised Laws as relates to the appointing Police Officers under civil service regulations and that there be a Police Department consisting of Chief and at least five patrolmen.
I wish to thank, in closing, all who either in town office or otherwise, have helped us in our endeavor to do our best under adverse conditions; also the Justices of our Court, the Clerk, Assistant Clerk and their assistants for their uniform courtesy and assistance.
Respectfully submitted, HARVEY G. BROCKBANK, Chief of Police.
Forest Fireward's Report.
WAKEFIELD, MASS., Jan. 31, 1908.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN : -
Gentlemen :- The Forest Firewards most respectfully submit the following report :
During the year there have been 38 fires, an increase over last year of 19, burning about 120 acres. The Firewards have either been present or have investigated each and every one. Last year we turned back to the Town $141.85, and our appropriation was reduced $50.00 for good behavior, and we had only $250.00 to do business with this year. We are pleased to state that we have kept within our allowance, by good luck and favorable conditions. We have purchased some needed parts for the repair of pumps and two dozen new cans to replace those worn out by constant use. We again state we have received valuable assistance from our regular firemen which has saved expense in this Department. This is the last report from this Board, as the new law creates a forest warden to take our places when he is appointed.

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen : - I herewith present my report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending Jan. 31, 1908. I find on inspec- tion that the stables, as a rule, are in first-class condition, and meet the requirements of the law.

Report of Sweetser Lecture Committee.
FEBRUARY 12, 1907.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen : - The Committee herewith submits its report of the Lecture Course for the season of 1906-07. The Com- mittee begs leave to repeat from its report of last year as follows: "The Committee believe that the best interests of the course would be subserved by appointing the Committee early in the spring." If the appointment of the Committee is delayed till the early summer, the course is more apt to be hastily arranged and therefore less satisfactory.

Moth Department.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen, - I herewith submit to you my report of the Brown-tail and Gypsy Moth department ending November 30th, 1907.
In the woodlands that was cut last year and the nests prop- erly treated, I find a very small number of nests this year, where last year they were badly infested, showing that cutting is the only method to properly handle the woodlands.
I have cut fully as much again this year which was neces- sary to stop the spread of the caterpillar ; in most private resi- dence property the moths are well under control as well as the streets and parks.
We were able to get the U. S. Government to take charge of Oak and Green streets, in addition to that they looked after last year. In relation to the Brown-tail moth, we find com- paratively few this year which are mostly on pear, oak and elm trees.
For detailed account ot expenditures, see Auditor's report.
Respectfully submitted,
W. W. WHITTREDGE,
Supt.
