HOSE.
There are now in the department 4950 feet of leather hose in good condition and reliable ; 150 feet of rubber hose, considered good ; 2400 feet of leather hose that has been long in service and is not reliable ; and 3550 feet of linen, rubber, and rubber lined combined that is very poor. In some localities in the city where water is scarce, it is necessary to use long lines of hose in case of fire, and it is very essential that a supply of hose should be kept in readiness in case of emergency, and no objection should be made against purchasing a small quantity the coming year, and I would recommend the purchase of none but the best.
WATER SUPPLY.
I would suggest that the city government consider the expedien- cy of extending the water pipe from the junction of Bromfield and
52
CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
Prospect streets to the junction of Bromfield and Purchase streets, thence down Purchase to the foot of Lunt street; and I would ad- vise that a reservoir be built near the foot of Broad street, also one on Olive street.
HOUSES.
The houses occupied by the department are in very good condi- tion, excepting those of No. 3 and No. 7; the floor of the first named needs repairing and the house of No. 7 needs extensive re- pairs, and the attention of the city government is solicited to an in- spection of this building.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
His Honor the mayor, and the city council will please accept my thanks for the cordiality shown me at all times ; and my thanks are hereby tendered to the joint standing committee on fire depart- ment for careful attention given to the requirements of the depart- ment; to the police force I am under obligations for services ren- dered; to my assistant engineers I desire to express my gratitude for their hearty co-operation at all times. The officers and mem- bers of the department are also entitled to my sincerest thanks for the good behavior and gentlemanly bearing toward me and for the cheerful performance of their duty.
Respectfully submitted,
. CHARLES H. GOODWIN, Chief Engineer.

REPORTS.
and we feel sure that to-day no city in the commonwealth is so well lighted for so small an outlay as the city of Newburyport.
We have 106 gas lights at a cost of $20.70 per post a year ; 177 gasoline lights, furnished by the Globe Gas Light Co., at a cost of $14.00 per post, including keeping in repair all glass of lantern. We believe it our duty to say that F. A. Brown, esq., agent of the Globe Gas Light Co., has done everything in his power to perfect his light, which has given entire satisfaction, and we consider it second only to gas.
Therefore we would recommend the committee whose duty it shall be to contract for 1877, to carefully scrutinize any proposition which may be made by other parties, as we feel assured that any improvement in the mode of lighting with gasoline which may be invented, will be furnished to their satisfaction, as it has been to ours, by the Globe Gas Light Co. of Boston.
For the committee,
GEORGE E. CURRIER, Chairman.
