The general Town debt of Wakefield, exclusive of that for certain self- sustaining enterprises like the Municipal Light and Water Departments, is very high in comparison to the valuation. According to the latest available report of "Statistics of Municipal Finances" issued by the Division of Ac- counts of the State Department of Corporations and Taxation, on January 1, 1928, the average net debt of Towns of 5000 or more population was 2.44% of the valuation. For Wakefield, excluding the debt of certain enterprises like the Light and Water Departments, the average ratio was 4.55% or nearly double the average rate for Towns in the same group. Only two Towns in this group have a higher ratio of net debt to valuation than the Town of Wakefield. Only four of the Cities in the Commonwealth show a higher ratio.
On account of the Town's financial condition, therefore, your Com- mittee recommends that no action regarding pensions be taken this year.
If in future years the Town's financial condition permits the expense of a retirement system, your Committee believes that such a system should apply to all Town employees except those covered by a state-wide contribu- tory system, without any discrimination between employees in different departments, and that it should be on the contributory basis.
Respectfully submitted,

We now have a first-class shooting gallery in the basement of the hall where officers may practice revolver shooting and of course we all remember the old saying (Practice Makes Perfect).
The First Aid Room has been entirely renovated and is now equipped with hot and cold water and I will say that we have a room where First Aid may be rendered to any person in need of it and I am quite sure that the Doctors will appreciate having this room to use in case of an emergency.
Our Ford car was put on in the Month of April and you will notice that it has covered 12,700 miles in nine months.
We have not had any serious crimes committed during the year and I think that I can honestly say that we have one of the cleanest towns in the State of Massachusetts.
DISCIPLINE
Has been good and at this time I want to thank each and every member of this department for the manner in which they have performed their duty.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I most earnestly recommend three more officers. I don't need to stress the reasons as you all know it-but I will say that for a town of its size the Police Department is not large enough.
I recommend that rubber goods, that is, boots and coats, be furnished for the members of the Police Department as I feel that it is part of the equipment.
110
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
I also strongly recommend the installation of the Teletype. This machine would enable this Department to notify other Police Departments at once in case anything happened here.
If it could be done I would recommend that a small car be furnished to the officers covering routes in the outlying districts. I am sure that the use of a car would enable the officer to cover his route more often.
There are a great many recommendations that I might make but I hesitate to do so as recommendations are costly.
CONCLUSION
In closing this report I wish to return my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, also the Committee on Police, Selectman George O. Sheldon, for the interest manifested by them in all matters pertaining to this department during the past year.
To the various other departments and to each and every other person who have in any way assisted this department during the past year you have my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. POLLARD,
Chief of Police.

There have been three cases of measles as against 482 cases of this disease last year. Twenty-eight cases of diphtheria have been reported as compared with nine cases in 1928. There have been otherwise no marked changes in the incidence of infectious diseases.
The low level sewer has been extended to Aborn Avenue on Vernon Street, and into it has been taken Vernon Street, southerly to Lawrence Street; Lawrence Street and Wave Avenue to Pleasant Street. It is to be hoped that, during the present year the sewer may be extended to take care of the district in the vicinity of Sweetser Street as far as Main Street.
During the present year Mr. Lawrence Doucett has been appointed Food Inspector, and a set of regulations has been adopted relative to the
112
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
care and handling of food exposed for sale. This arrangement should result in needed improvement in certain conditions.
The garbage collection has been carried out by the Welfare Department as for several years.
Attention is called to the fact that the total cost of care of tuberculosis cases is not covered by the appropriation of this Department, the Town being assessed for this in the County Tax. The figures for the past year are not available; for 1928 the sum of $4,124.53 was charged to the town for the care of tuberculosis cases.
The Visiting Nurse Association has been allowed the use of the office of the Board for the Baby Clinic as heretofore.
The problem of the care of dumps has become a difficult one on account of the great amount of paper and rubbish disposed of, and a diminishing amount of ashes.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
Report of Inspector of Milk
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report as Milk Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The work of this office this year has been along the usual lines, compris- ing dairy inspections and milk tests.
A general expansion among local dairy men appears to be under way which gives a wholesome aspect to the future outlook.
From a total of 224 samples of milk and cream taken by me for tests, only 12 were found to be below standard, a very creditable showing.
I cordially thank the Board for the co-operation and support accorded me throughout the year, and would call your attention to the following:
Retail milk licenses issued-81 at 50 cents
$40.50
Dealer milk licenses issued-25 at 50 cents
12.50
Pasteurization licenses issued-1 at $10.00

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Inspector of Food
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as Food Inspector for seven months, ending December 31, 1929.
The work of this office is still in its infancy. Under the guidance of the Town Food Regulations adopted by your Board, general check-ups for quality and cleanliness have been pursued.
Competition is keen among food dealers, and in my opinion vigilance alone can keep the local food supply to present day standards.
There are now in Wakefield, 103 establishments and 12 pedlers in the food dispensing business.
Thanking you for your support, this report is respectfully submitted.
LAURENCE E. DOUCETT,
Inspector of Food.

REPORT OF TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY
Tuberculosis Dispensary Report
To the Wakefield Board of Health:
The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith respect- fully submitted.
We have examined at the dispensary at various intervals, patients discharged from sanatoria, contact cases, and suspicious cases of tubercu- losis, and a number of underweight children. Eighty-one examinations were made of fifty-one patients. Fourteen new cases of tuberculosis were re- ported during the year.
We have at the present time seven patients at the different institutions, two at Rutland State Sanatorium, one at North Reading, one at Lakeville, two at the Veterans' Bureau Hospital in Rutland, one at the infirmary at Tewkesbury. One case of Hilum Tuberculosis was sent to the Southern Middlesex Health Camp at Sharon for two months during the summer. He gained eight and one-half pounds, and at the present time is in very good condition. We also have one child at the New England Peabody Home.
Dr. Willoughby of North Reading examined a number of patients for this Dispensary, also X-Rayed a number of cases.
We feel that the arrest of tuberculosis is affected chiefly by the careful observance of personal hygiene. Its permanent success depends upon the guidance and treatment of a skilful physician, but even more upon the attitude of the patient himself. In order to submit willingly to the unusual sacrifices which "the cure" demands, the patient must have an abiding faith in the efficacy of the measures employed, an unfailing cheerfulness and a hopeful expectation of his ultimate recovery.
The more careless of our people must be taught at school and at home to be more cleanly and to use and to like fresh air, soap and water.

Dispensary Nurse.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Town Counsel
Wakefield, Mass., January 13, 1930.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Wakefield:
Gentlemen:
As Town Counsel I report for the year 1929 as follows:
Tort Cases pending: Six arising from alleged defects in highways; six (from same alleged gas leak).
One gas case for $10,000 was settled for $1750.
Several compensation cases have been tried.
One Police (Mandamus) case was heard by Supreme Court, with finding for Town (Selectmen) and exceptions have been filed.
One action (Prohibition Writ against Selectmen arising from surface drainage proceedings) was heard by Supreme Court, exceptions taken by petitioner to Full Bench of Supreme Court and on January 6, Court over- ruled exceptions and sustained town's action. This related to proposed agreement with Heywood-Wakefield Company for relaying and relocating brook through their premises.
Lay-outs for several ways were drafted and on acceptance takings were drawn.
Several sewer takings were drafted in connection with the sewer under Newburyport Branch of B. & M. Railroad.
Several titles to real estate have been examined for property acquired.
The services of the Town Counsel by the various departments of the Town has been required fully as much as in prior years, these matters while requiring much time and attention are of too much detail to be included in a general report.
Respectfully submitted,
M. E. S. CLEMONS,
Town Counsel.
