Lafayette street, macadam street . $1,000 00 ·
Richardson avenue, macadam street 1,500 00
The streets, you will notice, that are recommended to be repaired, all have sewers laid in them and are sprinkled by the watering carts.
Some of the macadem roads, for instance, Nahant, Bennett, Morrison Road are in bad condition, and a few dollars spent this year will preserve them for some time to come.
Lafayette, Pearl and North avenue are streets that are in bad shape and ought to be repaired the coming year.
Richardson avenue, where most of the travel is from the depot to the square, is also in bad condition, and should be macadamized.
The appropriation calling for $2,000 for sidewalks, covers the most needed places in town. New Salem street, on account of the unsafe condition of the plank sidewalk, it will have to be removed and the culvert extended out, and graded in with filling, and the remainder of the sidewalk is in very poor condition.
Respectfully yours,
D. C. GREANY, Supt. Streets.

Total number of fires 54, an increase over last year of 16, burning over about 300 acres.
The increase in the number of fires was caused by the very dry summer and fall.
The new law seems to help in many ways. I appointed Elden S. Oliver and Jesse C. Edmands as assistants, they having served with me on the Board of Forest Fire Wards. and they have been of great value to this department.
I take this opportunity to thank the members of the Wake- field Fire Department and the officers for their valuable services and hearty co-operation on all needed occasions.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL T. PARKER,
Forest Warden No. 208.

Fishing has been on the decrease this last season, as you can see by this report, owing to the hot dry summer. The largest pickerel that was canght weighed 4 pounds, 6 ounces, caught by Mr. Clark Cummings of Reading. There being quite a number 3 and 3₺ pound pickerel caught.
77
The largest bass was caught by the late J. W. Gleason of Reading, weighing 5₺ pounds. The largest fish caught in one of Mr. Wiley's boats was caught by E. A. Mortimer of Wakefield, weighing 4 pounds, 4 ounces. Mr. Mortimer re- ceived the prize of $10 from Mr. Wiley for bringing in the largest fish caught in one of his boats.
Fishing now is allowed every day in the week but Sunday, from May 30 to November 1. If all other fishermen had made their report the number of fish caught would have been much larger.
OUR GAME PRESERVES.
Game of all kinds was scarce in Wakefield and vicinity this season, and we have nothing of public interest to report only that a few deer have been seen.
Pheasants are on the increase.
Respectfully submitted,
