The Board of Selectmen, together with all the citizens of the Town, wish to compliment the Tercentenary Committee on their planning and carrying out of the exercises commemorating the 300th Anniversary of the Town. They feel that the work of the committee was done very effici- ently and in a manner highly creditable to the town.


The Board wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to the heads and members of all departments under its jurisdiction for their accom- plishments during the year.


To the citizens of Wakefield, the Board expresses its appreciation of the courtesy and consideration shown by them in all dealings regarding problems arising during the year.
