ALMSHOUSE.

Nelson, were appointed superintendant and matron, an inventory of all the property both in the house and barn was taken and it was found necessary to purchase $504.06 of furniture to place the house

There are now at Danvers asylum 23 persons, and at Westborough 2 persons.
The item of expense for the care and maintenance of the insane poor, whose legal settlement is in Newburyport. has increased from year to year, until the present time when one third of the appropria- tion is expended for this purpose alone.
OUT-DOOR RELIEF.
The subject of the best course to pursue in dispensing out-door re lief, is a problem not yet solved. On the eve of Dec. 22, '91, mayor Dodge called a meeting of all citizens interested in charities, to meet at City hall, to consider the advisability of consolidating all the various branches of dispensing aid in our city, some twenty-five were present. Mayor Dodge read extracts from several organizations, established for this purpose, several ideas were expressed by those present. but no definate result was obtained. During the past year a saving to the city of $846.39 has been made in this direction. $5,075.09 paid out in 1890, $4,228.70 paid out in 1891.

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.
REPORT.
To the City Council of the City of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN :- It now becomes my duty to present you with the annual report of the condition of the fire department, and in so doing I trust you will find that in this my ninth annual report, I still adhere to my former idea of economy, efficiency and disipline.
MANUAL FORCE.
The number of men connected with this department are one hun- dred, and divided as follows : One chief and three assistants, three steamer companies of seventeen men each, one hook and ladder company of fifteen men, three hose compani 's of ten men each.
No one even questions the labor and daring performed by the members of this department, but every one speaks in complimentary terms of the manner in which they perform the service when called to duty, and every citizen should take a decided interest in the wel- fare and prosperity of each and every member.
HOUSES.
I reiterate my remarks of last year in having a few changes made in engine house number seven, and while the rest of the houses are in good condition, some attention should be given to the above mentioned house, as I think beneficial changes could be made at a a very small cost.
176
ANNUAL REPORT.
APPARATUS.
A new hose wagon has been added the past year and placed in charge of engine company number 2, also new tubes put in boiler of steamer number 1 and hose wagon number 7 painted, it having been badly scorched at the fire of horse car stables.
I would recommend that a new hose wagon be purchased and placed in charge of engine company number 3, to take the place of the hose carriage which they now have, which I consider unfit for further service. I also think it will be for the city's interest to have hook and ladder truck painted at an early day, as you will find upon inspection it is very much needed. All the other apparatus is in good order.
HOSE.
After a great deal of discussion and delay two thousand feet of hose was purchased and it came none too soon as was demonstrated at the fires on the morning of October 6th, when every foot of the old hose was in use and we had to refill wagons and reels with new hose.
Every year I have advocated purchasing a small quantity of new hose to take the place of that which is condemned, and I trust in the future such a course will be pursued as I believe it to the city's in- terest. We have on hand 7,000 feet good, 4,000 feet fair and 1,150 feet condemned hose.
WATER.
We have in use 174 hydrants and the supply of water has been fair excepting on the morning of October 6th, when we completely exhausted the supply. On making inquiries we found that the pumps at the pumping station had not been started owing to the en- gineer not having been notified of the fire. While it is not probable that such an error may occur again, yet it is not among the impossi- bilities.
FIRE ALARM.
We have in use 18 signal boxes, 2 steam gongs, and 2 bells· While at the present time there seems to be a question in regard the new bell doing its work as required, I feel confident that the con-
I77
CHIEF ENGINEER.
tractors will carry out to the letter every part of their contract. It is my opinion that a louder tone is expected from this bell than it is capable of giving, and believe that a smaller bell with a sharper tone would have given better satisfaction.
HALE FUND.
The above fund has accumulated by gifts and interest until the amount reaches $5,541.54. The expenditures the past year were $231.00. I would on behalf of the members of the fire department, thank each and every person who have in any way aided this worthy object, as we all appreciate your kindly feelings.
