We have been fortunate the past year in having a very small bill for snow work, and it has been shown that the extra labor of scraping the gutters in the fall, to provide outlets for spring rains, or melting of snow, was money well spent. Salem Street was given special attention, and considerable grading was done between the Wakefield line and the South Schoolhouse. Locust Street was also graded.
In Lynnfield Centre considerable work was done in cleaning the gutters and in widening and graveling Essex, Lowell, and Chestnut Streets. No heavy grading was done on Main Street, although the street was resurfaced, rounded, and well oiled. This street should have considerable attention the coming year, the section near Pine Hill being much in need of repairs.
45
Much difficulty has been found in obtaining suitable gravel in Lynnfield Centre, although the South Village has an excellent supply in a convenient location.
For the past few years the constantly increasing travel of automobiles and motor trucks through our town has become a serious feature in the maintenance of our highways. Unless we keep our streets well oiled, the surface soon is ground off and blows away, and the dust is certainly intolerable. With the money provided for maintenance of our Highway Department it is impossible to oil all the streets of the Town, and we have been obliged to limit the oil to the thickly settled portions. This past year about $1,000 was spent in oiling the streets, which was nearly one-third of the entire maintenance of our Department, which will, I think, compare favorably with any town of our size in the State in the use of road oil.
For the past three years we have received considerable aid from the State Highway Commission in the care of that portion of the Newburyport Turnpike passing through our Town. This includes both grading and oiling, and is quite a help finan- cially. It is hoped that the State Highway Commission will con- tinue this good work. The cash for this expense has been drawn from what is known as " The Motor Vehicle Fees Fund," or in other words Licensing of Automobiles, and at the present time practically the entire Turnpike is maintained from this fund. Small wonder then that "the fellow who owns an automobile " appears to control this particular highway.
I would recommend for the coming year appropriations for the Highway Department as follows : $1,000 for street oiling, $200 for repairs to sidewalks, and $1,800 for general maintenance, making a total of $3,000 for the Highways.
I also hope that some action will be taken by the Town whereby we may receive some portion of the State Fund for High- ways, under the small town act, the State furnishing one-half the funds and the Town a like amount. I. would suggest the raising of a reserve fund for this purpose.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK NEWHALL, Highway Surveyor.

Report of Street Lighting Committee
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF LYNNFIELD :
Your committee regret that more street lights were not in_ stalled as planned when the $600 was appropriated July 18, 1912. A few days after the above date we met and located such lights as could be provided for this sum. After some delay the Light_ ing Companies reported their inability to go to the expense of running wires and installing the lights unless they had a contract with the Town, for a term of years, that would warrant some re- return for the expense incurred. As your committee had no authority to enter into such a contract, the best that we could do was to keep the lights that were in use previous.
We have inserted articles in the Town Warrant asking for an appropriation sufficient for fifty lights in each part of the Town, and authority to enter into a contract as called for by the Lighting Companies. This number of lights will be sufficient to illuminate a large portion of our streets in both parts of the Town, and in several places will meet a lighted street in the adjoining town.
There is a strong sentiment in favor of this much needed im- provement. We trust these articles meet your approval, and that every progressive citizen will aid the committee by helping us ob- tain a favorable vote for Lynnfield Street Lights.

Report of Fire Department
WM. F. GERRY, Fire Chief
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF LYNNFIELD :
I respectfully submit my second annual report of the Fire Department :
We have had nine fires during the past year, including two chimney fires. The chimney fires were extinguished with little difficulty and without damage to the property. The other seven fires had made such headway before being discovered that the buildings in which they originated were completely destroyed. The department rendered good service in preventing the fires from spreading to adjoining property.
The Fire Alarm System at Lynnfield was put in working order in the early part of the year, and has been kept in good condition by Walter G. Mansfield. The system has also been extended to Mansfield's Corner, Box No. 26 being located there.
At Lynnfield Centre Mrs. Russell has rendered commendable service in notifying the townspeople by telephone in case of fire.
I believe that while the Town is considering many improve- ments in highways, street lights, and other branches, t should consider the better protection of its property from fire. A little money spent in that direction would materially decrease the rate of insurance and increase the efficiency of the Fire Department.
I estimate that the Department will need four hundred dollars ($400) for the ensuing year.
The appropriation for the past year has been expended as follows :

Report Public Library Trustees
Last year, in our annual report, the Library Trustees stated the need of an appropriation for repairs to the Library building, such as shingling, painting, etc. $250 was voted for that pur- pose-upon a special article in the warrant calling for the same.
Additional appropriations were also made for the Library as follows: From the License Fund, $150; Dog Tax, refunded by the County, $156.01. These amounts, in addition to income from Trust Funds and cash on hand, gave us an unusual fund from which to draw.
On getting our repairs under way, however, we soon found that to do the work satisfactorily we should be obliged to use additional money from the general fund. This has been done, as the financial statement will show, and the building is now in first class condition, and is, we believe, a credit to the Town.
The Literary Branch of the Civic League has held its semi- weekly meetings at the Reading Room. It has also been at the disposal of the various committees working for matters of public interest, free of charge. The room above has been used by the Boys' Y. M. C. A .. as in former years.
The Woman's Whist Club have held a short series of parties on certain afternoons during the winter months, which have been very pleasant occasions. They have made voluntary contributions to our funds to cover any additional cost in janitor's services, etc.
The Branch Library, in charge of Mrs. Cora F. Pike, has been well patronized, although the number of books at the Branch has been rather limited. We trust that this difficulty will be remedied, however, as our funds accumulate. It is hoped in time to have more commodions accommodations for the Branch Library, especially if the plans of the " Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Library " committee are carried to fruition.
55
We would suggest that an appropriation of $200, in addition to the Dog Tax refunded by the county, be raised and appropri- ated for Public Library maintenance.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE O. GIDDINGS, GEORGE H. BANCROFT, HARLAN B. PEABODY, Trustees.
