ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To His Honor the Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen :- The Board of Health herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1911, together with the reports for the various departments under this board.
The general health of the city has been good and an improvement noted in comparison with the year previous. The cases in excess of those prevalent in 1910, were whooping cough, chicken pox of the less dangerous contagious dis- eases. The increase in tuberculosis for the same period was three cases.
There has been a decrease in typhoid fever cases, nine cases less than for the year 1910. The other contagious diseases that have shown an increase have been cerebro spinal meningitis and opthalmia neonatorum.
The Board again calls the attention of the City Council to the law requir- ing a tuberculosis hospital and to the need of such an institution for the patients of Newburyport.
The Board calls the attention of the physicians and householders to the law requiring the reporting of all contagious diseases.
The Board would recommend the strict enforcement of the law in regard to spitting on the sidewalks.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Newburyport, January 1, 1912.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report of the fire department for the year ending December 31, 1911.
The apparatus of the department consists of four steam fire engines, three in commission and one in the repair shop having new tubes installed; five single horse hose wagons, five hose pungs, one supply wagon, one exercise wagon, one ladder truck, fully equipped, in commission; one old truck with a few old ladders, one old hose reel with 600 feet of condemned hose.
MANUAL FORCE
The membership consists of two permanent men at the Central fire station and 84 call men including the chief engineer and three assistant engineers.
SALARIES PAID
Chief engineer, per year $ 300.00
Assistant engineers, each, per year 75.00
Clerk of board of engineers, per year 15.00
Captains of engines, hose and ladder companies, each, per year 70.00
Engineers of steam fire engine, each, per year 160.00
Asst. engineers of steam fire engines, each, per year 20.00
Stokers of steam fire engines, each, per year

Stewards of hose companies, each, per year 5.00
Permanent fireman, per year 800.80
Permanent driver, per year 819.00
Call firemen, each, per year 60.00
Value of property, insurance and amounts paid on the property to which the department responded on bell, but not on still alarms:
Value $27,200.00
Insurance $21,700.00
Loss paid
$ 4,455.36
CONDITION OF THE DEPARTMENT
By a lot of hard work and a small expenditure of money the condition of the department which two years ago was in the condition of the "old one horse shay "' has been greatly improved; much remains to be done to bring it up to a proper standard of efficiency, but judging from the noise about reducing the number of men, the pieces of apparatus, etc., and the rigid economy idea which seems to have concentrated upon the fire department, a relapse is about to take place and much that has been accomplished will be lost.
In this connection I will state that with a proper addition to the apparatus, equipment and more permanent men the department can be made more efficient
120
ANNUAL REPORTS
and some men could be dropped; but the expense of running the department will never be any less than it is today, but is bound to increase.
During the year in addition to the regular needed articles the following have been added to the equipment of the department: 3000 feet of leading hose, soft suetions for Engines 3 and 4, new tubes for Engine 1's boiler, Engine I's wheels have been rebuilt, Old (No. 3) Engine has been rebuilt, new band brakes have been put on Engines 1 and 2, hose pungs for 7 and 8.
The fire alarm, gong and machinery, have been removed from Cashman's wharf and placed upon the boiler house of the Warner Cotton Mills. The valves and piping of the fire alarm at the Towle Manufacturing Co. have been renewed and several thousand feet of fire alarm wire have been run.
Eight new pony chemieals have been placed upon the different pieces of apparatus. Twenty-five fuel baskets, to carry coal for the steam fire engines.
HORSES
No improvement has been made in regard to hauling the fire apparatus.
New horses should be obtained immediately to take the place of the old plugs, now used in hauling Hose 2 and 3.
The horses at the Central fire station, at least, should be ready to respond to an alarm on the moment.
The present method of using the horses that haul the fire apparatus in hauling ashes, rubbish, and working on the highway, is bound sooner or later to result in a disaster.
Four different times during the year all the horses that haul the fire apparatus (with the exception of Hose 1's) were at the dump at the foot of Kent street, at the same time.
At two fires during the year there was a delay of several minutes because the horses that haul the apparatus were a long distance from their stations when the alarm was rung in.
HOSE
There are 8,400 feet of excellent hose in the department, and 4,600 feet of. hose which was purchased in 1905 and prior to that time.
One thousand feet of hose has been condemned, it having burst at fires or was so leaky that it was impossible to get water through it on to the fires.
I recommend the purchase of 1,000 feet of hose to replenish that found worthless.
HOUSES
I hope that an appropriation to make necessary changes at the Central fire station and also to obtain decent quarters for Hose 7 will be included in the estimates for 1912.
URGENT NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT
First-One thousand feet of leading hose.
Second-A double tank, motor chemical and hose wagon.
Third-Changes and repairs at the Central fire station; and the brick school- house on Forester street for the use of Hose 7.
Fourth-An approach to Frog Pond at the south corner, should be built so that engines can obtain water in case of a large fire at Daltonville or on the B. & M. R. R. property.
FIRE RISK
It is of the greatest importance that an ordinance regulating the storage and sale of fire works and explosives and prohibiting the erection of fire traps should be passed immediately.
The ordinance should also make provision for getting rid of the many old wooden shacks which are a menace to the whole city in case of a fire.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
SUPPLY OF WATER FOR FIRE PURPOSES
There are several dangerous localities in which the fire department would be almost helpless on account of a lack of water to control the fire.
There is a great plenty of water at the Artichoke river, the Pumping station and at Frog Pond, but means of distributing it for fire protection are wholly inadequate.
A larger standpipe, larger mains and larger hydrants should be installed In the water works system and the Frog Pond pipes should be extended as fol- lows:
To the foot of Winter street.
To the foot of Titcomb street.
To the foot of Green street.
To the foot of Fair street.
To the foot of Lime street.
To the foot of Bromfield street.
The Frog Pond pipes should also be connected with the reservoirs
At the junction of Fair and Essex streets.
At the junction of Federal and Middle streets.
At the junction of Lime and Purchase streets.
FIRES AND ALARMS
There were 17 bell alarms and 77 still alarms during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS HUSE, Chief Engineer.

ANNUAL REPORTS SCHEDULE OF FIRES
The Newburyport fire department for the year 1911 has answered, up to the present time, 17 bell and 77 still alarms, against 27 bell and 81 still alarms last year, which is the lowest in a number of years.
The department has had many long runs. It has been called to the Three Roads three times and to the south end of the city twice. The members have been prompt and have retained the reputation of being second to no department in the state.
The reason advanced by the firemen for the small number of bell alarms is that the people are becoming educated to the fact that Hose 1 can put out eight out of every ten fires unassisted. The loss of property has also been the lowest since the city was incorporated.
