The several departments of the Town endeavored to keep within the appropriations made but unforseen conditions and emergencies developed which made it necessary to exceed the sums authorized by the town at the annual meeting, which was provided for largely by transfers from available funds, which could be used in emergencies.
Again the necessity for money to care for the needy and Old Age Assistance has increased and has become a major problem and must be met by the voters of the town.
As authorized by the Annual March Meeting, the reconstruction of Summer Street was continued during the year 1938, which extended to a considerable distance. This work was performed with the cooper- ation of the Commonwealth and the County of Essex, the Town of Lynnfield paying one fourth of the expense. We recommend the con- tinuance of this work during the current year.
Once again we wish to thank all officers, department heads, employ- ees and citizens of the town who have co-operated with us during the past year, and to express our sincere appreciation.
EVERETT S. WEBSTER, GEORGE W. PEAVEY, CLARENCE A. STUDLEY, Selectmen of Lynnfield.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT 53
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
The past year's work was carried along the same lines as the previ- ous ten years. Woodlands were looked over for gypsy moth infestations and partly creosoted. There was such a great increase in the infesta- tions that it was impossible to cover the entire woodland. There was heavy feeding of gypsy moths off Broadway, Salem and Summer Streets; also Chestnut, Lowell and Main Streets in the center part of the town. Some very fine work has been done by the W. P. A. crews, which in- cluded creosoting, spraying, underbrushing, and removing fire hazards in woodlands. Owing to the vast amount of woodland to cover it was impossible to spray only a small part with one spraying machine. The increase in gypsy moths is general throughout the State. No brown tail moth webs were found in town during the year.
This work is carried on under the supervision of the State Depart- ment of Conservation. The State contributed $1,227.86 to the town in money and supplies during the year.
I hope that extra money will be appropriated in this coming Town Meeting so that these infestations may be properly handled.
Respectfully submitted, LYMAN H. TWISS, Superintendent.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:

REPORT OF DOG OFFICER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report as Dog Officer for the year ending December 31, 1938.

To the best of my knowledge all dogs in town have been licensed. Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR W. BRYANT, Dog Officer.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
At the last annual Town Meeting an appropriation of $360.00 was made to take care of the shade trees. This appropriation was used to take down dead trees and to trim up trees where there were dead and dangerous limbs. There is still a large amount of such work to be done, which is very slow and costly. The hurricane took down 46 street trees and broke the tops and branches off many others. This makes a lot of extra work to be done during 1939. I hope a much larger appropria- tion will be made at the coming Town Meeting. I also hope a small amount will be raised to plant new trees.
Respectfully submitted,
LYMAN H. TWISS,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
About the usual amount of snow was handled. The demand for sanding of streets is increasing. Two thousand feet of snow fence was placed throughout the town where the snow drifts are likely to be high.
56
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
When spring came, the usual cleaning of the town streets was done, and also a great amount of patch was applied where needed.
A thirty-inch pipe was laid at the brook on Forest Hill Avenue. This pipe should prove large enough for years to come.
Two catch basins were installed, one at Arlington and Howard Avenues, and one on Main Street, opposite Chesnut Street. Several more could be placed to a good advantage throughout the town.
Walnut Street from Salem Street to the Saugus Line was rebuilt. All the railroad ties were removed and taken away. The road was scarified and relaid.
Perry Avenue was graded and tarred for a distance of eight hun- dred feet.
During the summer, tar was applied on all streets where needed.
New street signs were purchased and placed on nearly all streets. In my opinion street signs are a big asset to any community.
In May 2,400 feet on Summer Street was finished under Chapter 90, left uncompleted from the previous year. In August we started our 1938 Chapter 90 work on Summer Street at a point where we finished in May. Three thousand feet was completed up to a point near Lock- wood Road. Seven hundred feet of drainage was installed, 1,500 cubic yards of ledge removed, and 600 feet of guard rail erected. We are hoping to complete a stretch to Prospect Avenue this year.
On maintenance work under Chapter 90 we cleaned out all catch basins and drain pipes on Main and Salem Streets. We sealed Main Street from the Wakefield line 1,500 feet and on Salem Street from Summer Street to the high tension line, a distance of 2,400 feet.
Under Chapter 500 we graded Vokes Terrace and Beaver Avenue. In the spring fine grading will be done and tar applied.
In 1934 we hired a twelve-tone roller, and the rental charge was to be credited to the purchase price. During 1938 we became sole owner of said roller.
I should at this time like to recommend that the town purchase a heavier truck, sewer cleaning rods and sphere, water tank for roller, bull dozer for our tractor, and wings for the snow plow.
Respectfully submitted,
MINOT H. CARTER,
Superintendent of Streets,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Details of our School Department are very clearly set forth in our Superintendent's report attached. We hope that every citizen of the town will carefully read and study this report. It clearly shows the necessity of making plans soon for additional school facilities for our grade school, and serious thought should be given to the matter of having our own High School. Our pupils at Wakefield High School, considering the serious handicap under which they work, are doing as well as we can expect. The two-platoon system never was and never will be conducive to high standard work. Our pupils only get four hours of actual high school time, and the freshmen get this time in the afternoon after their energy has been expended in other ways. This is causing more failures in rank than your committee likes to have. In other words, the classes at High School are not getting proper edu- cational facilities.
One change in the School Board has taken place this year. Mr. Neal Herrick moved out of town and resigned. Mr. Edward Averell was . appointed in his place.
The School Committee earnestly recommends that committees be appointed to secure land for a grade school in the south part, and to secure land in the center for a High School. With 125 to 135 High School pupils we are advised, this High School could be maintained at comparable cost to tuition charges, with the added advantage of really educating the children.
