ANNUAL REPORT
On January 26, 1940 the license granted to Joseph J. Bachmann d/b/a Dad's Red Arrow Diner, for the sale of wines and malt beverages as a common victualler, 7 days, at No. 7 and 11 Merrimac Street for the year 1940, was revoked because of his failure to pay the license fee.
On May 7, 1940 a complaint against Nicholas Pahakis, 42-43-44 Market Square, was dismissed for want of prosecution.
On June 3, 1940 the Board voted to revoke the common victualler's license granted to Anthony Baker, 88 Water Street, because of the recent conviction of Mr. Baker in the local District Court for violation of the liquor laws of the Commonwealth.
The license of the Polish American Citizens Club, 3 Salem Street, was suspended- after hearing, on complaint for the alleged sale of intoxicating beverages to a minor- from July 13, 1940 at 6:00 P. M. until July 23, 1940 at 6:00 P. M., a period of ten days.
On November 1, 1940 the Board met to hear complaints of Leo A. Barboro and J. George McDonald against Zaharias Limnios, a common victualler, engaged in the sale of wines and malt beverages at No. 18 Market Street. After hearing, the charges were unanimously dismissed.

ANNUAL REPORT
REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Fire Alarm System
Should be removed trom City Hall to the Central Fire Station and transferred over to the care of the fire department. By doing this the city could be saved considerable money and with proper instructions the firemen would be able to do the work.
Fire alarm boxes should be installed in all of our Public buildings.
Also a new box should be installed on Water St. near Atkinson Coal Company.
Equipment
All minor equipment too numerous to mention is in first class condition.
Fire Drills
All schools have been inspected and fire drills demonstrated and found satisfactory.
First Aid
Men are well drilled in first aid and are now taking an advanced course. Schools and all departments should be instructed in first aid.
Inspections
On our first inspection we found bad conditions of one sort or another at 653 places.
Of these 4 belonged to the City, 35 to the Co-operative Bank, 10 to the Institution for Savings, 7 to the Five Cents Savings Bank and 1 to the Home Loan Corp.
We found on our last inspection there had been 126 new or repaired chimneys. Fire hazard conditions have been cleaned up at 28 places.
Ten fire hazard buildings have been taken down.
Of the 653 places we have notified 556 owners. The other 97 places belong to the Banks or the City and 35 owners who live out of town.

3 re-checks were made at the request of store keepers.
4 complaints by the Inspector of Standards and 3 local complaints were investi- gated and satisfactory adjustments made.
Several checks were made on bread, coal in bags and packaged foods, no records were kept as all were found to be within the required tolerances.
The large coal scales were sealed at no expense to this department owing to the co- operation of the Welfare Department who loaned one of their trucks and men to help the sealer do this work.
The equipment of this department is in good condition, but some minor repairs should be made to the 50 gallon tank trailer, this trailer is now housed under the Fire Station.
The weighing and measuring devices coming under the jurisdiction of this depart- ment have been found to be in very satisfactory condition and all merchants have been ready and willing to co-operate with the sealer.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Superintendent of Wires
January 28, 1941. Gentlemen :
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I herewith submit my report as Superintendent of Wires in the City of Newbury- port for the year 1940:
Fire Alarm
2 Tappers removed.
1 tapper installed.
50 poles rewired with new crossarms and insulators.
All fire alarm boxes overhauled and put in good working order.
Lines on Toppans Lane and on Water Street, from Bromfield to Marlboro, rewired, necessitated by a W.P.A. Highway Project.
Line on upper half of Kent Street rewired due to new construction by the Haverhill Electric Company.
Grounds found and cleared in Circuits 1, 3 and 4.
Broken wires in Circuits 1, 3 and 4 found and repaired.
Connected steam whistle at Burley & Stevens building after it had been installed by the Fire Department.
Disconnected steam whistle later because of a frozen valve.
Cleared trouble in fire alarm system between Wein's Garage and the Central Fire Station.
Lines and fire alarm box removed from pole in front of City Hall and installed on pole on opposite upper corner of Green Street. Removed old pole.
Besides the supervision of the above work, there has been the general daily routine of keeping the Fire Alarm System in good order.
INSPECTOR OF WIRES
167 wiring permits have been issued.
At the request of the Mayor necessary information and figures were acquired from the Haverhill Electric Company relative to the installation of a light at Riverside Park.
Because of the poor condition of the Police Signal System, two trips were made daily to the Police Station to charge the batteries, which would not have been necessary under normal conditions.
101
SUPERINTENDENT OF WIRES
The expenses of this department have been kept relatively low in comparison to the large amount of work that has been accomplished. This is due, in a large measure, to the fact that over 300 hours of labor have been spent on pole work for which no charge has been made to the City.
To His Honor, the Mayor, the City Council, and all Department heads I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER M. HALL,
Superintendent of Wires.
102
ANNUAL REPORT
Park and Tree Department
February 1941.
To His Honor, the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Gentlemen:
I respectfully present the following report of the departments under my supervision for the year 1940.
Tree Department
Complying with Section 19, Chapter 45, several parcels of land on Hale Street and Crow Lane were designated as Municipal Forests. Upon requisition 20,000 Red Pine seedlings were received from State Department of Conservation for planting. The city also received the services of a technical forester from the Department of Conservation to advise in regard to weeding, planting, fire protection and other matters. The street planting program was continued, covering from Broad Street to Market Street in the north end, and from Bromfield Street to Federal Street in the south end.
The W.P.A. project for tree surgery closed out in April. The department is en- deavoring to obtain another project to care for additional cavity work.
City Parks
Arrangements were made through the Mayor's office enabling the department to borrow forms and machine from City of Haverhill, with which to make park seats, with cement ends. The reinforcing steels were purchased, and by using welfare assistance it is expected that many of these seats can be made at small expense to the City.
The regular duties of the department were carried on; snow removal, cleaning and grass cutting. This department arranged for and planted the shrubbery in front of City Hall.
Present plans call for the opening of the W.P.A. Park project early in 1941. The project provides for comfort stations, tennis courts, wire fences, repairing and painting grand stand at Central Park, landscaping of Cushing Park; tennis courts, soft ball diamond at City Field, and a comfort station in the center of the City.
Moth Department
This year the ash trees were badly attacked by a rust which alternates between a certain marsh grass and the ash trees. In most cases it causes complete defoliation, but does not cause serious injury to the trees. The elm leaf beetle caused serious damage in the surrounding communities. With the exception of elms in the vicinity of our churches our trees were not badly infested. Successive defoliations of elm trees by this bettle greatly weakens the trees. The gypsy moth, brown tail and tent caterpillars infestations within the city limits were normal. The gypsy moth was very heavy around the Curzon Mill and Cherry Hill district.
103
PARK AND TREE DEPARTMENT
The W.P.A. moth project operated up to June, and reopened in November with enough funds for several months work. The outlook for further W.P.A. moth projects is not very promising.
The Mayor, members of the City Council and all the department heads have been very kind and co-operative, for which I wish to express my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES M. CROWLEY,
Superintendent.
