REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.
REPORT.
NEWBURYPORT, January 1, 1895.
To His Honor the Mayor, and the City Council.
GENTLEMEN :- In accordance with the rules and regulations governing the fire department, I have the honor to make and submit for your consideration, the following report of its condition, manual force, and other matters of interest:
MANUAL FORCE.
The manual force consists of a chief, assistant chief, and five district chiefs, three steamer and hose companies of fifteen men each, two hose companies of ten men each, and one hook and ladder company of fifteen men, and one man as steward of hose 4, and chief's driver, making a total of eighty-eight members.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department is in an excellent condition, one new hose wagon having been built and put in service during the year to replace the worn out reel attached to steamer I. The only piece of apparatus now being needed by this depart- ment is an extension ladder (to take the place of the Bangor ex- tension, which having been in service about fifteen years has out- lived its usefulness.) The matter having been laid over from the
30
234
ANNUAL REPORTS.
last year's government, for the present city government to decide, I would recommend the purchase of a suitable ladder such as would meet the requirements of the department.
HOSE.
The amount of hose in service at the present time is as follows :
Hose 1
800 feet
66 2. 1,650 “
" 3 . 1,650 “
66 7 1,600 “
66 8.
1,600 “
Central station 3,800 “
Hose 4 . 700 "
making a total of 11,800 feet of serviceable hose. I have besides in the supply room some five hundred feet, only fit for highway or sewer departments. A small quantity, five hundred feet, was purchased during the year, replacing what had been destroyed by use, certainly a wise action for future committees to follow.
HOUSES.
The houses of the department are in the same condition as last year, all in good repair and well up in modern appliances, with the exception of hose 7, to which I called attention in my last year's report, and I am earnestly in hopes that the present city government may find their way clear to provide better and more comfortable quarters for the company, and in a better location than they now occupy, a location where they can better cover their district and where they can enjoy privileges that they can- not have in their present house.
WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply remains the same as last year, and some action should be at once taken to remedy the existing evil, that is the insufficiency of the supply for fire purposes. We have
235
CHIEF ENGINEER.
had sufficient experiment in trying to get through four-inch hy- drant connections a sufficient supply for the three steamers, and twice during the year we have had to resort to the Frog pond supply, which is the "Old Reliable," and never fails to respond when called upon. Six-inch post hydrants with four and one- half suction outlets and six-inch connections should be pro- vided.
FIRE ALARM.
The fire alarm remains the same as last year, in excellent con- dition, and under the efficient charge of Superintendent Welch we may look for no disturbances in this quarter, other than what we may reasonably expect, from the high winds and wintry storms prevailing at this season of the year.
HALE FUND.
The Hale fund for the benefit of injured firemen amounts to $5,742.81.
Three firemen injured at the Car shop fire have been ma- terially aided by this fund, thus showing the wise forethought of its founder and the liberality of those who have since contributed to the fund.
SICK BENEFIT FUND.
The Sick Benefit fund amounts to $562.38, and has been in- strumental in several ways in benefitting its members. This fund received a donation during the year of fifty dollars from Mrs. W. S. Moseley together with some two hundred dollars from its annual ball.
RUNNING TIME OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The running time of the department remains the same as last year. Running cards have been printed, and can be obtained from any of the board. The rules and regulations of the de- partment are the same as last year and should be overhauled, and changed to meet the present conditions.

I would like to call the attention of the City Council to the ex- istence in various parts of our city of numerous dilapidated barns and houses, which by their presence offer an excellent tempta- tion to an incendiary, thus enlarging the expenses of this depart- ment, (although we have been fortunate this year in not having any incendiary fires), the conviction a few years ago having no doubt carried with it its warning. Yet such buildings should not be allowed to stand as a temptation, and I hope that legisla- tion will be attempted the present year, compelling the owners to put them in proper repair or remove them from the places they occupy.
The two largest fires have been the fire of Feb. 24th, the Pope and Moseley house, and Oct. 31st, the Car shop, Burley & Usher, etc. All losses have been well covered by insurance.
The Board of Engineers have removed, or caused to be re- moved combustible material from different localities, and will continue to do so, on complaint of parties interested.
