The people of the town well know the need of more police and I shall leave the matter entirely in their hands, but most earnestly request that the matter be carefully considered.
A police department is one of the most essential things in any community ; to it is intrusted the care and moral welfare of the community, and by it the moral condition of the community is represented.
The primary duty of a police officer is to prevent crime, and failing this, is to procure its punishment.
For this purpose he is invested with broad powers and may per- form any act consistent with the rights of others and with the ex- ercise of a sound discretion on his part.
But it should be understood that neither the state nor the mu- nicipality whose officer he is, assumes any responsibility for his wrongful action.
Physical and mental ability and moral character should be con- sidered and politics eliminated.
In conclusion I wish to thank your honorable board for the kindly assistance and advice given me.
.

To his Honor, Judge Bruce, and his assistants, Judges Sweet- ser and Riley, and also to the Clerk of the District Court, Wilfred B. Tyler and his able assistant, Henry C. Bacon, I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the kind and courteous treatment accorded me throughout the year.
To all those who have in any way assisted this department, you have my thanks.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES J. POLLARD, Chief of Police ..

REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
I herewith submit my report of the work done by the highway Department from Jnne 1st to Dec. 31, 1912, appended to which is Mr. Dennis Greany's report from January 1st to May 31st, inclusive.
SANITATION
Many of the old drains were wholly or partially clogged with roots and other obstructions. These have been dug up, cleaned and put in working order.
New drains have been constructed on Bartley, Byron and Albion streets.
In order to keep the gutters and drains clear of obstructions, a small gang of men and a single horse dump cart has been kept working from street to street. In this way we have been able to keep the streets in a better condition, and the same time keep the gutters and drains in such a condition that the damage done by heavy rains has been greatly reduced.
On rainy days this gang has driven about town draining as many pundles in the sidewalks and streets as possible and keeping the catch basins open.
OIL PATCHING
Considerable oil patching has been done on the macadam streets with good results, using Headley's No. 1 patching oil, mixing about twenty-five gallons to a cubic yard of clean pea stone. A pile of this material is kept on hand ready to use as holes develop in the macadam streets. This material is too expensive to use on badly worn gravel streets.
GRAVEL PATCHING
A number of streets have been resurfaced and patched with gravel as shown in the financial report. Many of these streets should have more permanent work done because this gravel will not hold where there is a large amount of wash.
82
OIL SPRINKLING
Three car loads of Alden Speare's Tasscoil No. 2 and two car loads of Headley's No. 22 road oil, and one of the Solway Pro- cess Company's Calcium Chloride were used as dust layers.
The labor cost of applying these materials, includes in each case the cleaning of the streets in advance, which ordinarily would be done in the spring cleaning.
The actual applying and cost of the Tasscoil was $.013 per square yard, while that of the Headley oil was $.0163, and that of the Calcium Chloride $.0107.
The Tasscoil gove the best results on the hard macadam streets and on paving, while the Headley oil proved most satisfactory on the softer and more dusty streets. The Calcium Chloride proved very satisfactory for a short time on the shady streets.
Tarvia "B" was applied on Albion street from Harvard square to Byron street and on Birch Hill avenue.
Next year more Tarvia "B" should be used and those streets that are in the best condition given a surface treatment to reduce the wear and to lay the dust.
The great value of the Tarvia is that the surface of the street does not become muddy in wet weather, nor dusty in dry, and forms a wearing surface to preserve the street.
Main street from the Rockery to Pratt street was given a coat of Indian 65 per cent asphalt oil, using about 1-3 of a gallon to a square yard, previous to which all of the holes were filled with Headley's patching material.
CONSTRUCTION
Water street-This street was rebuilt with a seven inch Tarvia filled macadam, using two gallons of Tarvia .'X" per square yard, penetrating two inches ; labor and materials (including crusher work, hauling, spreading, rolling, etc.) costing $2.155 51.
Albion street-This street was paid for in part by the Mass. Highway Commission, who alloted $1150 from the Motor Vehicle Fund, to pay one half of the estimated cost of building nine hundred (900) feet from the Stoneham line to Jordan avenue. 1150 feet were actually built for the $2300. It was thought best
83
to continue the work to beyond the ledge at Bartley street (2165 feet in all), thus making a good road from Wakefield to Stone- ham.
This road was constructed with a four-inch water bound base, on which was a 2-inch wearing surface of No. 1 stone, coated with 2 gallons of Tarvia "X" per square yard, using the penetration method. Next year this surface should receive a coat of Tarvia "B". Suitable drainage was provided and 5 catch-basins built. The sidewalks were very low and had to be raised in a number of places, although no attempt was made to construct permanent walks.
The total cost of labor and materials was $4,266.04
Main street, Greenwood-One half of this street was con- structed for 1000 feet in the same manner as Albion street. The other side was spiked up with a steam roller and harrowed and shaped with a road scraper, and the material from the other side spread on top and rolled to a hard surface, making a good gravel roadway that wil stand for a few seasons, until such a time as the town can make permanent improvements. The total cost of labor and material for both sides was $1810.37.
TAR SIDEWALKS AND CURBING
This work has been limited to building walks for which applica- tions have been received, and resurfacing old walks and laying curbing.
Owing to the lateness of the season and confusion due to changes made in the department, sufficient curbing could not be obtained from Lynnfield to supply all of the demands made this year.
I would suggest that those desiring curbing or tar sidewalk work done should file applications early, thus enabling the depart- ment to order material ahead and plan the work before the season begins.
GRAVEL WALKS
As many gravel walks were patched and resurfaced as possible, but more should be done next year.
84

I wish to make the following recommendations :

I would also recommend an appropriation of $2,600.00 for a . drain to take the street drainage from Crystal lake and drain Main street from Green to Greenwood street.
Also $12,000.00 to construct one side of Main street from Greenwood to the Junction. This street is at present in a dis- graceful condition and a special endeavor should be made to put it in a passable condition.
I should also advise making application to the Mass. Highway Commission for an appropriation to construct Lowell street, from Pratt street to the Reading line, thus completing the highway from Reading to Wakefield square. Also for an appropriation to construct a part of Salem street, near the Lynnfield line. -
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the assist- ance and co-operation of the Board of Selectmen during the past seven months.
Respectfully submitted,
O. H. STARKWEATHER,
Highway Engineer.
