The new forest fire apparatus has been tried out on a few fires and proven very satisfactory and we feel that in the future it will aid materially in cutting down the cost of ex- tinguishing all fires.
I wish to recommend the purchase of one thousand (1000) feet more hose for the forest fire truck, as the 2,000 feet we now have is insufficient in a few places.
In view of the new law, Chapter 309, Acts of 1930. com- pelling towns to patrol their forested area during extreme drought on order of the State Forester, I wish to recommend that an appropriation be made to cover this contingency.
Respectfully submitted,
ALAN B. FROST, Forest Warden.

The new compressed air alarm at South Acton is working nicely. Test blows are given at 8 a. m. and 8 p. m.
Repairs are needed on the West fire house. An alarm system should be installed at the Center, in the near future.
Would recommend $2,000.00 for general maintenance, and $500.00 for new hose.
