Carrying out the vote of the Town for a new system of account- ing, we have appointed Mr. H. A. Simonds as Town Accountant, believing that because of his familiarity with the various depart- ments he is well qualified to handle this work efficiently.
While, unfortunately, we have had some labor troubles during the past year, we are thankful that conditions are such that all factories are now running, and trust that improved business conditions will bring about further improvement in the near future.
A permit has been granted for a building on the so-called "Cutler" lot, and we feel that the surroundings of the Town Hall will be much improved by this addition to our business blocks.
In closing we wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the different Boards and to the citizens generally for their loyal support and co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
FORREST A. SEAVEY, Chairman, JOHN J. ROUND, JOHN A. MELONEY N. E. CUTLER, WILLIAM P. SHEPARD.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Wakefield.
Gentlemen: - My report for the year 1914, covering the legal department of the town is as follows:
Cases Disposed of
The $4,000 action for damages of Gertrude McDonald was settled for $100.
The suit of Lillian Bement for $4,000 damages was tried and a jury awarded her $200 which with the costs has been paid.
The suit of Delia Kalty for $4,000 was tried and a verdict for the town was rendered by the jury, motion for new trial denied.
The petition for apportionment, North and South draws of the Chelsea bridge and the Meridian Street Bridge, has been determined by the commissioners and no assessment for cost or maintenance was made on Wakefield.
Cases Pending
There are five tort actions pending for damages from alleged defects in highways and each is for $4,000 or $5,000.
Two actions in contract, one for $100 and one for $300 (ad damnum).
One petition for damages for land taken for highway.
Two actions in tort for $4,000 each for damages from ob- structing water course.
By the above list of pending cases it appears that the cases now pending against the town are about double in number over what were pending a year ago and this will entail more work in their disposal during the coming year.
At the request of the selectmen I have attended that board at its weekly meetings with a few exceptions, during the entire year and there have passed on many matters, on which they wished information and advice.
64
During the year many opinions have been given to the various departments and officials of the town, the adoption by the town of the tenement house act, town accountant act, compensa- tion act and other statutes have taken far more of my time for the town than has been usual in the past few years and the indi- cations are that the work will gradually increase.
The work at the State House in relation to the Reading sewer and conferences with various parties occupied considerable of my time and it is apparent there is more work ahead on this matter. The Quannapowitt boulevard has occasioned many conferences.
Respectfully submitted.
M. E. S. CLEMONS, Town Counsel.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Dear Sirs: - I herewith submit my annual report, as Inspector of Animals, up to date. Three (3) horses were killed for glanders. There were no cases of the Foot and Mouth Disease in town, and since the faucets were installed in the watering troughs, have had no cases of glanders. Up to date, there has been no tuber- cular cows, and hog cholera has been light.
Owing to the fact, the State having been under quarantine, during the epedemic of Foot and Mouth Disease, among cattle, hogs and poultry, it has proved to be a busy year.
Respectfully submitted,
DR. PALMER CORBETT, Inspector of Animals.

There have been 25,980 on duty calls during the year. The past year has been a hard one for the police department, but I think the people of the town as a whole are satisfied with the way the police performed their duty.
One word to the people who find fault with the police.
I ask you to stop and think if you would not do as you had taken oath to do, just what the police did.
The strike at the Rattan Company cost the town $960.54.
In November the finance committee by transfer from the Reserve fund gave to the Police Department, $960.54. The Company sent a check to the town of $500.
On December 31, 1914, I returned $487.43.
I quote these figures to show that the town was not run in debt as some people thought it would be.
We should be thankful to the Metropolitan Park Police, the City of Melrose Police Department and the City of Somerville Police Department who so kindly came to our assistance when we needed help and did not charge one cent for their services.
December 31st the members of the Police Department were by vote of the Board of Selectmen (and it is with pleasure that I make note of it) given one day off in fifteen, for which we are duly grateful.
Discipline
To the members of the Police Department I want to thank them kindly for their hearty co-operation.
72
Recommendations
I most earnestly recommend three more men for night duty. One at North Ward and Montrose District; one at the Junction; one at Water Street District.
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 perform any act consistent with the rights of others and with the exercise of a sound discretion on his part. But it should be understood that neither the State nor the municipality, whose officer he is, assumes any responsibility for his wrongful action.
Physical and mental ability and moral character should be considered and politics eliminated.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. POLLARD, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF THE WAKEFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: -
The annual report of the Board of Fire Engineers is herewith presented, giving the records of fires that have occurred during the year ending December 31, 1914, together with such informa- tion which may be of interest to the town.
The Department Apparatus and Hose
The Department consists of fifty-five men, divided as follows:
Forty-eight call members, five permanent members, one per- manent chief, two assistant chiefs. All the apparatus is in first class condition. We have purchased 450 feet of new 212 inch hose, and have had 500 feet relined during the year. Tow bars have been placed on the two steam fire engines and supply wagon to enable them to be drawn by auto squad wagon if necessary.
Record of Fires
During the year the department has responded to 176 alarms. Forty-four of these were bell alarms, 132 still alarms, the largest number in the history of the town for one year. As usual there has been a number of false alarms. It is to be regretted that a person will maliciously ring in a false alarm, causing much danger to the lives of citizens, as there is always an element of danger in responding to any call. The estimated loss for fires during the year was $14,283, fully covered by insurance.
