REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Licenses were granted by the Selectmen for the sale of alcoholic bev- erages for the year 1947 to the following, subject to the approval of the State Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission:
City Hall Liquor Store, 6 Water Street
Jeffrey's Package Store, Inc., 354 Main Street
Ignazio Palumbo Jr., (Palumbo's Annex) 35-37 Albion Street
S. Tine & Sons, Inc., 38-38A Water Street
Receipts from these and other licenses granted during the year 1947 are shown in the Town Accountant's report.
Reports of the various departments under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen and containing complete information, will be found under other and appropriate headings in this report.
Senator George J. Evans was requested to file a bill in the Legislature for construction of a bath house by the Metropolitan District Commission at the north end of Lake Quannapowitt.
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Lindsay represented the Board of Selectmen at a hearing by the Legislative Committee on reapportionment of Representa- tive Districts, on September 24th. The Board voted to recommend re-es- tablishment of Wakefield in a separate district. The final vote of the com- mittee was to leave Wakefield in the district with Melrose and Stoneham.
Highway Construction under Chapter 90, whereby the State and County contribute together with the town toward the cost of the work, was carried out in a different manner for the year 1947. There were two proj- ects in this category, one being the completion of North Avenue toward the Reading line to cost $24,000 and one on Main Street near the Melrose line costing $3,400, and the work was let out to contract to the State De- partment of Public Works. This enabled the Highway Department to carry on other important construction, which might otherwise have been omitted.
As a result of recommendation by the Board of Selectmen, a total of $72,000, of which $66,000 was raised by Bond Issue, was made available by vote of the Town Meeting for the purpose of construction of newly accepted streets and the work on these projects was carried on by contract by private concerns.
Representatives of the Boston & Maine Railroad conferred with the Board in October regarding the installation of electrically operated cross- ing gates at the various grade crossings in Wakefield, and at a later date moving pictures were shown in the Town Hall of the operation of this type of gate at various places where they are now in use. This matter is one which requires approval by the State Department of Public Utilities, who have already held one hearing on the proposal.
Arthur E. Beane and Richard C. Cheever were appointed Reserve Po- lice Officers.
James P. Mckeon was appointed a permanent patrolman in the Police Department effective January 1, 1948.
A change in the working hours of the night shift of the Police Depart- ment to seven hours was made effective as of January 1, 1948.
98
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The Board appointed Patrick E. Loughlin as local fuel administrator, he to select additional members to form a committee. Governor Bradford requested that this committee be appointed due to the present emergency in oil for heating purposes.
The members of the Board extend their thanks to all those who have in any manner co-operated with them during the past year.

RECOMMENDATIONS
New Police Headquarters. One of the greatest needs of the department is larger and more modern quarters-as has been stressed constantly in the past. Realization of such project started at the 1947 annual town meet- ing with the acceptance by the voters of the special police site and head- quarters committee report, and the purchase, later in the year, of a site of land at Crescent, Centre and Mechanic streets.
1
REPORT OF CHIEF OF POLICE
103
The latter committee already has met to discuss architect's plans and problems of layout and arrangement for the proposed new building. At the time of writing this report it was not determined what action this special committee may take in 1948, but the need for the new building continues greater than ever. All co-operation possible will be extended by this de- partment to the committee.
It is the department's hope that the citizens of Wakefield will act favor- ably upon the matter of a new, modern building, when called upon to vote it in the not-too-distant future.
CONCLUSION
June 10, 1947, Arthur E. Beane and Richard C. Cheever were appointed Reserve Officers. These appointments to take effect as of June 23, 1947.
November 13, 1947, Patrolman Eugene F. Hathaway resigned as a mem- ber of the Police Department. On September 11, 1942, having joined the U. S. Army he was granted a leave of absence for the duration of the war. At the time of his resignation from the Police Department on November 13, 1947, he was still in active service in the U. S. Army with the rank of Captain.
December 23, 1947, Reserve Officer James T. Mckeon was appointed a regular patrolman to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Patrol- man Eugene F. Hathaway. This appointment to take effect January 1, 1948.
I desire to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their co-operation at all times during the past year on matters pertaining to my department.
To Mr. William R. Lindsay, Committee on Police, my sincere thanks for his individual support and co-operation during the year.
To all of the various town departments who have assisted and co-op- erated with the Police Department during the past year and to the Wake- field Daily Item for the service they have rendered the department at vari- ous times during the year, and to all other citizens who have aided the de- partment in various ways, my sincere thanks.
I want also to extend to the Lieutenant, Sergeants and all members of the department and to my secretary, Miss Dorothy McGrail, my thanks for the faithful discharge of their duties at all times during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN G. GATES,

105
REPORT OF CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
One Pierce-Arrow Combination put in service in 1927. Equipment con- sists of 1,000 feet of 21/2 inch hose, 200 feet of 3/4 inch hose for booster line, booster tank, booster pump, ladders, axes, extinguishers, pump tanks, del- uge set, 1,100 gallon water gun mounted, first aid kit, shovels, bars and other equipment. This machine is used mainly to replace such other pieces of hose carrying equipment as may be out of commission for repairs. This piece of apparatus is unsafe to operate on the highways.
One Dodge Chief's Car purchased in 1939 replacing a 1929 Buick which had outlived its usefulness. This car carries extra oxygen bottles for re- suscitation work, first aid supplies, P & Q door opener, 2-way radio on the same wave length as the police radio, and other equipment that has proved to be a valuable asset to the department's equipment.
One Triple Combination stationed at the Engine 2 station in Green- wood and purchased from the Seagrave Corporation in 1929. This piece of apparatus is equipped with a 600 gallon centrifugal type pump, 80 gal- lon booster tank, 200 feet of 3/4 inch hose for booster line, 1,000 feet of 21/2 inch hose, 600 feet of 11/2 inch hose, ladders, axes, nozzles, smoke masks, cellar pipe, salvage covers, and other equipment.
One Pierce-Arrow sedan type hose carrying piece of equipment desig- nated as Auxiliary 1 and which was put into service in 1942 to serve as an auxiliary piece for defense purposes. This piece of quipment is carrying 1,000 feet of 11/2 inch hose, pump tanks, axes, nozzles, and other equipment.
Two Trailer type pumping engines which were purchased from the Of- fice of Civilian Defense. These units are equipped with 400 feet of 21/2 inch hose, pump tanks, nozzles, 200 feet of 11/2 inch hose, and much other neces- sary equipment.
During the year this department responded to seven calls for the use of an inhalator. Six times this apparatus was used successfully, the other instance the person was dead upon arrival due to a heart attack. We have purchased a micro attachment for the inhalator. This instrument is at- tached to the inhalator and with hose that is 20 feet long the face piece is attached to the end and is brought into a place, such as a ditch, where there is not room for the inhalator. We have also purchased a smoke ejector. This ejector is used to take smoke from a building during the course of a fire so that men will have more visibility and result in quicker extinguishment of the fire. This piece of equipment clears smoke much quicker than by the method of ventilation and has been used too many times to enumerate.
During the year this department has responded to 614 alarms divided as follows: 134 Box Alarms and 480 Still Alarms.
