The personnel of the Board remained the same as that of the pre- vious year, except that Mr. Roland W. Butters replaced Mr. Albert K. Comins.
Considerable attention has been given to street work, a definite plan of work and budget being made out at the beginning of the year and then this plan followed as closely as possible with the result, we believe, that highway conditions show an improvement. A similiar plan has been worked out in asking for an appropriation for the coming year.
The town received a gift of the old mill property on Vernon Street, near the Lynnfield Line, from Mrs. Harriett W. Potter, which property carries with it mill rights which govern more or less the level and outlet of Lake Quannapowitt.
On May 30th moving pictures were taken of the various Memorial Day exercises and these have been presented to the Town by Mr. Charles W. Hodgdon and have been turned over to the Wakefield Historical So- ciety for safe keeping. They should prove very interesting historical records.
