In addition to routine duties, the Board has had a number of special matters to consider. This year the Zoning Law went into effect and the Board has had to sit as a Board of Appeal in a number of cases. Police matters have also been of special concern. The highway department has required more attention than usual due to the fact that four different persons have had charge of the highway work. William R. Tompson, for many years Superintendent of Streets, resigned on March 1st, 1926, to go to Belmont in a similar capacity. James G. Reardon was appointed to the vacancy and served most faithfully and creditably until October, when he died as the result of an accident. Clyde M. Simonds was ap- pointed Acting Superintendent of Streets and served until the appoint- ment of Harold S. Powell as Superintendent of Streets.
On highway matters it has been the policy of the Board to eliminate the muddy streets and have all streets passable. The policy of having new sidewalks of granolithic, because granolithic walks are more per- manent, has been continued. Drainage has been provided in connection with all work as far as was possible. The matter of drainage is pro's- ably the most serious problem of highway work and will be a matter of concern for years.
Albion Street from the Boston & Maine tracks to Byron Street, and Vernon Street from Water Street to New Salem Street were rebuilt of permanent construction under State supervision.
Lack of room in the town hall for the proper functioning of some departments will probably require some changes in the future.
There was considerable building development in Wakefield in 1926 and the prospects for 1927 are most favorable for a continuance of building operations. The developments, while increasing the valuation, nevertheless mean additional drainage, ploughing and maintenance.
The Board extends to the townspeople and to the various depart- ments its sincere thanks for the fine co-operation and assistance ren- dered this past year.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
Report of Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :*
The Town Planning Board herewith submits to you its report for the year ending December 31, 1926.
Our Board has met nearly every Tuesday night during the year, or has had one or more members present to receive those having business with the Board. Several hearings relative to changes or interpretation of the Zoning By-Law have been held, and joint meetings with the Board of Selectmen on the same subjects have been attended.
The former Chairman, Mr. Hubbard B. Mansfield, retired from the Board at the expiration of his twelfth year of faithful, progressive, and constructive work, having served on the Board from its inception. Mr. Edward M. Bridge, Secretary, and valued member of the Board since 1922 resigned to take up planning of construction work for Dartmouth College at Hanover, N. H. Dr. T. Fulton Parks of Cordis Street, repre- senting the North Ward section of the town, was appointed to one of the vacancies, and Mr. Wm. J. Roberts of Parker Road, of Cross and Roberts Company, Construction Engineers, was appointed to fill the other. One vacancy remains which will be filled at the beginning of our next year.
During the year changes in the Zoning Map and By-Law have been made as follows :
1. At the Town Meeting of March 8, 1926, it was voted that the Zoning By-Law be amended as follows: That the business district on Albion Street, near Jordan Avenue and Gould Street, be reduced in area, retaining in said business district the western portion on botn sides of Albion Street from the center line of Jordan Avenue to a line 120 feet east and at right angles to Albion Street, the balance of the present above mentioned business district to become a part of the gen- eral residence district.
2. At the Town Meeting of December 6, 1926, it was voted that the Town amend the Zoning By-Law by striking out clause (e) of Section 8 thereof, and insert in. place thereof the following paragraph:
66
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
(e) The penalty for violating any of the provisions of the Zoning By-Laws shall be twenty dollars for each offence.
3. It was also voted by the Town Meeting of December 6, 1926, to amend the Zoning By-Law by changing from a general residence district to a business district that portion of the Town lying within one hundred and fifty feet of Lowell Street both on the southwesterly side and the northeasterly side thereof and between Reading and Wakefield Town line and the present business district next southeasterly from said line on said Lowell Street.
The principal recommendations of the Planning Board for the com- ing year are as follows:
1. The widening of Oak Street for the convenience of the Fire De- partment and for the safety of traffic.
2. The extension of Merriam Street through Forest Road to Green- wood Street to avoid the grade crossing, to provide a through route to the Fells and Boston, and to open a large section for development.
3. The widening of Center Street for the safety of school children and the convenience of the Fire Department in reaching the west side of the Town by way of Chestnut Street.
4. The connection of Richmond Street with Preston Street across the abandoned Boston and Maine Railroad Salem Branch location.
5. The purchase from the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company of the abandoned location and right of way from Water Street near the old car barns to New Salem Street. The Planning Board sug- gests that having purchased this right of way, the full width of fifty feet be filled in by designating it a public dump for ashes and hard fili- ing
The proposed sidewalk along the west side of North Avenue from Al- bion to Chestnut Street has not been constructed owing to the unwilling- ness of the Boston and Maine Railroad to make the small expenditure necessary for the safety and accommodation of its patrons.
The Planning Board contemplates a survey and study of the levels in the Saugus River bed looking forward to a plan to lower the channel from the site of the old Howlett pond dam to New Salem Street on the branch near Water and Valley Streets. The marshes through which this stream runs, once an asset to the town and owners for the large crop of hay formerly cut there, have become a tax burden to their own- ers and a menace to public health from the ever-increasing stagnation

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
and polution of the water in the stream and pools, which form breeding spots for mosquitos, and generate noxious odors. The long uncut grass when dry becomes a potential fire menace.
The Planning Board believes that with a sufficient and permanent system of drainage all the low areas along this stream from the Saugus line to the Lowell Street Station could be made useful either for tillage or for commercial or inexpensive dwelling construction and become a valuable asset to the town, whereas it is now a liability and a menace to health and safety.

Report of Moth Superintendent
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report as Superintendent of the Moth Depart- ment for the year 1926.
This year the Gypsy moths have increased about 50 per cent over the past few years. The Browntail and Satin moths are about the same as last year.
We planted 100 young trees where they were needed this year and expect to put out as many next year. This year we established a Town Nursery with about 3000 young trees.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
Report of Town Counsel
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, of Wakefield. Gentlemen :
As Town Counsel I report for the year 1926 as follows:
In the courts there has been disposed of this year all in favor of the town --
One petition for assessment for damages for highway widening, (dismissed).
One contract action for Overseers (collected $265.26).
One petition for mandamus against town clerk, (gas referendum matter), (dismissed).
There are pending against the town-
Three actions for damages for alleged defects in highways, and two actions for damages for alleged defects and negligence in the gas distribution system or its management.
Many consultations have been held with the several town depart- ments, written or oral opinions given and agreements drawn including the contract under which gas is now being purchased.
The proceedings under the civil service laws for the removal of a police officer have not been terminated, the officer having after his re- moval, on charges, by your board, petitioned for a review by the district court where the evidence has been taken but the case not yet argued. After my experience in this case I must say the civil service laws as now in force are very unsatisfactory both from the officers view and certainly from the public view. It is hoped that perfecting acts will be passed to clarify the law.
Respectfully submitted,
M. E. S. CLEMONS,
Town Counsel.
