To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Wakefield, Mass.
Gentlemen :- The following is my report as Town Counsel for the year 1918.
The street railway situation, which has occupied many days in hearings and consultations is still in an unsatisfactory situation, by the last schedule of rates approved by the Public Service Commission, and which went into effect Jan. 8, 1919, a ten-cent fare with five tickets for thirty-five cents was provided, but these fares do not allow transfers unless in exceptional cases and by reason of the zone points within the town the above rates are not yet fully in effect, but the company promises to make them effective at once. School children are to be charged one-half of the fare for adults. One line, Wakefield Square to Reading, via Lakeside was suspended December 1st, by authority of the Court given to the receiver, on the ground that it was unsafe to operate and that the company had no money to pay for track repairs. Other lines were the subject to court proceedings on the application of the receiver to discontinue the same because they did not pay and some were scheduled on December 1st, but the Court, after hearing myself and other counsel in hearings extending over a month, has so far indicated that perhaps the lines may better be run until further developments, and suggestions of all sort from state ownership to municipal subsidies to the company are prevalent.
I have brought two suits for the Tax Collector which were settled for $538.58, and two for the Overseers of the Poor on which $396.46 was paid in settlement, in still another claim the party is settling by payment in installments.
On the trial of the suit of Gertrude Perry for personal injuries from falling on ice caused by the overflow from the standpipe, the jury awarded a verdict of $725 and the case has been settled for that sum with costs of $60.
A claim for injury from defect in the highways was settled for $175.00 The claim of N. L. Drake for damages from gas escaping from the mains into the building where he worked was settled for $75. -
The Supreme Court has overruled the town's exceptions in the Powers, et al, cases and the judgments will have to be paid, this action arose from water drip being allowed to remain in the cellar where the plaintiffs lived.
There remains undisposed of :
One tort action for $2,000 for alleged defect in highway.
One tort action for $110 for alleged defect in highway.
One suit in equity to recover aid given by Overseers of the Poor.
The year has been a busy one for this department and many opinions have been given to the various departments and I have attended many meetings of officials and committees.
My active work on the Selection or Draft Board continued until Nov. 11, and for that Board I wish to express their appreciation of the courtesies and

assistance from the selectmen and their kindness in meeting day from day to see the drafted men leave and give them their and the town's wish of God's speed and a safe return.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
9th Annual Report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board
We herewith submit our annual report which is the 16th report of the Water Department and the nineteenth report of the Sewer Department.
The Water Department has just completed the hardest year in its history due almost entirely to the unusually severe weather of last winter, which started shortly after Christmas and continued for at least three months of 1918.
During this period at least half of the 2,500 services in Town were frozen and water had to be delivered in many cases in cans. The pumps were run at an average of nearly twenty hours a day, causing an unusually large con- sumption of coal.
The labor bill ran a great many weeks as high as $1,000 against a usual cost of $200. A large part of this increased labor cost was, of course, due to overtime as the men were forced to work until 12 o'clock night after night.
The Commissioners estimate that the extra cost to this department, due to the extreme weather, was between $14,000 and. $15,000.
The Commissioners wish to commend herewith the faithful services given by the men under the most trying circumstances ever encountered.
We have a record of forty breaks in the mains which occurred last year against an average of ten in normal years. This was partly due to the extreme weather and partly to the fact that many of the mains have been in the ground fron thirty to thirty-five years and have served their usefulness.
The department, in our opinion, should spend at least $3,000 a year relaying many of the old mains, but, owing to the excessive cost of materials, this work will be postponed for the present.
It has been the custom of the department to maintain two minimum charges, one of $6 for a one-faucet house, and one of $12 for two outlets or more. It is the opinion of the commissioners that a more equitable arrange- ment would be one minimum charge, which is the custom in most every town, and if this is possible, it will be established on the spring bills.
The quality of the Lake water, as reported to us by an analysis made each week has been very satisfactory and the supply well maintained.
Our expenses for the past year have been unusually large, owing to increased cost of coal, labor which has advanced 40%, and materials.
As our system of bookkeeping has been adjusted to conform with that of the Town Accountant, we do not present a financial statement as this would be simply a duplication of the Town Accountant's reports found in the latter part of this book.

Average daily pumping 785,844 gals. 553,609 gals.
Average daily per head of estimate population for 1918 60.4 gals. Average daily per head of estimate population for 1917 42.6 gals.
The increased pumping for 1918 is accounted for by the fact that the Department was obliged to operate the pumps practically day and night during the extremely cold weather of January, February and March.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Thec ommittee was especially fortunate in securing a large, dry, and central location. The school lot comprises over three acres of land, with the highest elevation in the district. Access to the school is made possible from either Wharton Park or Lowell street. Splendid opportunities are given for large outdoor gardens and playgrounds.
The building is a one-story structure, containing a hall and two class rooms on the first floor. The hall accommodates 180 people. It is the in- tention of the committee that this hall will be used, when needed, for a primary room. With portable seats it is adapted to make an excellent class room. This will take care of any overflow for many years. The basement contains the sanitaries and boiler rooms. Both direct and indirect steam heating is installed. The building is of birch, finished throughout with birch and N. C. pine.
The decision of the committee to proceed with the construction in spite of the peculiar conditions arising from the war, and the cost of materials, was actuated by several factors. The urgent needs of the district for better school facilities. The special opportunities offered to anticipate the higher prices of materials. The convictions that no substantial decrease in costs would come for many years.
The committee desires to express its sincere appreciation of the generous support of the citizens of Wakefield and of the untiring efforts and co-operation of those directly connected with the work.
