The following Roll of Honor, containing a list of Wakefield's young men and women in the service has been supplied by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Bureau and Mr. H. M.

They to assist the Chief and also to act during his absence, either from sickness or otherwise, with all the powers now held by the Cheif.

ROLL OF HONOR

*Capt. Ralph N. Frost. Vol. Hose. Enlisted Sept. 14, 1917.

*Minot Carter. Ladder Co. Enlisted July 15, 1918.
*Means Over-Seas at present time.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Attention was called last year to the bad condition of :he Volunteer Hose Auto. This piece of apparatus was re-built on a Columbia, six-passenger Chassis in 1908. The car was a second-hand machine at that time. It has in my opinion, already outlived its usefulness and is in an unreliable condition and at several occasions during the past year, failed to reach the fire. The same has on several occasions been out of commission for several weeks at a time for repairs. I would earnestly recommend the purchase of a new piece of apparatus to replace this one as the possibility of its need at some fire is too great to be allowed to continue in its present condition.
RECORD OF FIRES
During the year the Department has responded to 165 alarms, divided as follows: 127 still and 38 box alarms. This is an increase of 17 alarms over last year. The box alarms and the still alarms which involved loss are:
Wednesday, January 16th, 7.36 p.m. Box 4. False alarm.
