On account of the proposed referendum relative to question of whether or not the town should continue the manufacture of gas, the matter of additions to the Gas Manufacturing Plant has been embodied in the proposals with respect to the said referendum and will have pro- per consideration when the question has been decided.
Some details of this report as previously rendered have been omitted this year, but if they are desired they can be obtained at the office of the Municipal Light Department.
In conclusion I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Commis- sioners for their hearty support and help and the employees for their loyalty and interest throughout the past year.
Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL H. BROOKS
Manager Municipal Light Department

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Fire Alarm
The Board of Light Commissioners are charged with the operation and maintenance of the Fire Alarm and as the Superintendent of Fire Alarm I report as follows:
The past year has seen some extension of the system, the schedule as reported previously has been carried out. Five new boxes have been placed, several have been installed on pedestals, in three instances the pedestal has been combined with the boxes for the new Police signal system.
A tape machine and take up has been placed in the Greenwood Dis- trict Fire Station, also a warning siren alarm signal placed at the cor- ner of Oak and Main Streets with actuator in the station. This is for the purpose of notifying the Main Street traffic that the apparatus is about to come out and have a clear way.
An entirely new battery has been placed in the Central Fire Station.
It is expected that seven new boxes of the noninterferring type will be needed for replacements and new locations, and some changes in wir- ing to conform with the proposed extension of the Police signal lines.
These additional boxes and entensions and relocations of lines with labor and maintenance charges will cost approximately $2,700.00.
Since the Police signal system has been added to the Towns interest and is of a similar character to that of the Fire Alarm, it seems proper that some definite provision be made for its upkeep and maintenance as well as extension of lines when required. The Light Department has done what was necessary since this system was turned over to the Police Department by the contractor, but there are no funds at the command of the Light Department to continue this service.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL H. BROOKS,
Superintendent Fire Alarm.
