REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The first meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on March 16, 1925.
Organization: Frank C. Newhall, Chairman Wesley W. Munroe, Secretary Joseph F. Smith
Appointments were made for ensuing year.
HIGHWAY WORK
The work on highways during the past year has been under the super- vision of the Board of Selectmen with Ralph Emerson Cox acting as Su- perintendent of Streets. The Superintendent's report on highways will be found later in the report.
RELOCATION OF POLES
Permission was granted. the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. and the Reading Electric Light Co. to increase their line three poles on Summer Street to the Estate of Ernest Westover.
INSURANCE
The insurance on all Town property remains the same with an even amount falling due each year.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A more extended report of the activities of the Fire Dept. will be found under that of Chief Moxham.
POLICE.DEPARTMENT
Our traffic problem is increasing each year. The time is not far dis- tant when a permanent officer will be needed day and night in Lynnfield Square. The traffic beacon in the Square has been removed at least for the winter months and a new and improved overhead danger light has been in- stalled. Under Chief Tedford's report an extended account of the Police Department may be found.
CHARITIES
Our Charity account has increased considerable during the past year. Two are being supported at the present in the almshouse and partial support given in several cases.
HEARINGS
This year has been very busy for the Board on hearings pertaining to
19
railroad, water, licenses, transportation and roads. The full board has always tried to be present and if not a good representation has been pres- ent. The County Commissioners at the present time are relocating the lines on Locust Street.
PERAMBULATIONS
The Town bounds between Lynn, Saugus and Lynnfield were perambu- lated this year and each one found to be in their proper location.
Respectfully submitted, Wesley W. Munroe, Secretary. Lynnfield, Jan. 1, 1926.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1925.
Applications of tarvia and oil were applied to the streets that were in need of it to hold the surface. With the ever increase of travel it takes. quite an expenditure to keep the holes patched which are formed.
The new gasoline road roller with scarifier attachment and leveler which was purchased in the Spring has been a big success in rebuildng streets.
It can be operated at less than half the expense of a large steam roller and also do satisfactory work. It will be a great help this coming year in rebuilding some of the outlaying streets which are badly in need of repair.
Lincoln Avenue was rebuilt this past season and given a surface of Tarvia.
A piece of road on Main Street from Beaver Brook to Mr. Wood- bury's was torn up and relayed.
Two pieces of road on Summer Street near Pillings Pond was torn up. and relayed.
Part of Lynnfield Street near the Peabody line was rebuilt.
Work which I consider should be done in 1926 is the rebuilding of Walnut Street from Summer to Salem Streets. Essex Street its entire length. Also a short piece on Lowell Street near the North Reading Line.
I hope the State and County will see the necessity this coming Spring of giving the town the promised help to macadam Main Street from Lowell Street south which is now very rough and worn.
The new equipment purchased this year is the road roller, and steel tractor snowplow.
Respectfully submitted,
Ralph E. Cox, Superintendent.
20
REPORT OF CHIEF OF POLICE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :

2 driving under influence of liquor.
4 on stolen cars.
4 intoxications.
The rest are minor offences.
Respectfully submitted, Albert G. Tedford, Chief of Police.
REPORT OF DOG CONSTABLE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- The past year has been a busy one with dogs as we have suffered a large amount of damage by them.
The number of stray dogs seems to be increasing every year. have had to kill 43 in the last year and there have been several killed by auto.
I have tried to keep the town free from stray dogs and enforce the law
Respectfully submitted, Fred W. Bryant, Dog Constable.

I have inspected 44 barns, 200 cows, and young stock, 2,000 poultry, 50 swine, and found them all in good condition.

'REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
Gentlemen :- 1 herewith submit my report of the Fire Department work for the year ending Dec. 31, 1925. The Department responded to more than 50 alarms; a very large number of which were false.
I am very glad to be able to report that equipment we now have is in first class condition, except that the combination truck needs a new
22
set of tires, two of the tires now on that machine came to us with the truck and are eight years old.
Now that we have town water throughout the greater part of the thickly settled portion of precinct number two, I wish to call the citizens' attention to the fact that we are very much in need of a hose wagon and about 1200 feet of hose and pipes, etc.
We also need to have changes made in house No. 2 in order to properly house any new equipment that the town may decide to purchase.
Respectfully submitted, William W. Moxham,
Chief.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
At the last annual Town Meeting an appropriation of $300.00 was made to take care of the shade trees. Most of this appropriation was used to take down dead trees.
Owing to such a small appropriation it is impossible to do the nec- essary work to be done. There are a lot of dead trees and branches along the highway which are very dangerous to the public and should be removed. It must be taken into consideration that large trees must be taken down part by part, that there may be no damage caused to wires, poles or other private property.
I hope the appropriation will be much larger this coming year so the work can be done properly.
Respectfully submitted, Lyman H. Twiss, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF MEMORIAL DAY COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The appropriation for Memorial Day, May 30, 1925, was $150.00 al- lotted as follows, $90.00 at the Center and $60.00 at the South Part of the Town. The American Legion Post 131 in co-operation, engaged the ser- vices of a Wakefield Band, which we believe was appreciated, and the balance of the appropriation was turned over to them to help defray the expense.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Lynnfield :
There has been considerable work done in the way of clearing up avenues and cutting grass, and brush on lots not cared for by owners. also grass and brush on unoccupied parts of the Cemeteries have been kept down.
In Forest Hill Cemetery we are pleased to be able to report a grow- ing tendency among lot owners to have their lots improved.
There have been several lots thus improved, and a few have been en- dowed for perpetual care, this past year. There are some lots in very conspicuous places which are neglected year after year and where the. families are apparently extinct.
Respectfully submitted, For the Cemetery Commission, Seth H. Russell.
