The apparatus of the Fire Dept. is as follows:

1 American LaFrance 1,000 gal. pumper and hose car purchased in 1928. First class condition.
1 Maxim Ladder truck purchased in 1926. Machine itself is in first class condition but the ladders due to too much heat in the station are in bad condition.
1 Seagrave 750 gal. pumper and hose car. Purchased in 1919. Very expensive piece to maintain and operate. Attention should be given towards a new piece to take its place.
100
ANNUAL REPORT
1 Larabee hose truck, Purchased in 1922 in third class condition. This machine has almost out-lived its usefulness and it is mostly used now for trucking wet hose and snow.
1 Henney Packard ambulance purchased in 1938. First class condition.
1 Portable fire pump.
1 No. 10 Cutting Torch.
Hose
At present we have 7,900 feet of 212" hose classified as follows:
1,000 feet purchased in 1934 in fair condition.
4,000 feet purchased in 1936 in fair condition.
2,900 feet purchased some few years back. 800 feet of 11/2" hose in good condition.
1,000 feet of 1" hose (Booster) in good condition.
REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Central Station
That the slate roof be removed and replaced with a heavy jumbo fire resistant shingle. At present the roof leaks badly and it is a waste of time and money trying to re- pair it as slate is broken in many places, nails are rusted away, and new leaks develop from walking around on it.
I have asked for six hundred dollars to repair this roof. All work to be done by the permanent firemen thereby saving the City a considerable sum of money.
I have given this roof considerable attention and according to measurements there are 4,150 square feet plus 20% and should require the following material:
50 square of shingles-prices at present undertermined.
150 feet of new gutters. rolls of roofing paper.
The amount of roofers not known until after slate has been removed.
I believe we should be able to sell what good slate comes from roof to some roofer.
Doors
Apparatus doors swing into building when open and take up considerable more space than an over-head door.
Also these doors take quite a bit of abuse and are always in need of repairs. I be- lieve we would be saving money to install new overhead doors.
Fire Alarm Boxes
Fire alarm boxes should be installed in all of our Public Buildings.
The office of the Supt. of Schools should be connected with the fire alarm and on stormy days the "no school" signals should be sent in from this office. We are bothered greatly by parties calling in and have answered as many as forty-two calls on same in one hour.
101
FIRE DEPARTMENT CHIEF
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.
Chemicals
Chemicals in schools, factories, hospitals, garages, and private homes have been in- spected and recharged by the men at the Central Fire Station.
Tower
The tower has been completed. Much of this work was done by the firemen. We are now able to give our hose better attention thereby prolonging its usefullness.
Basement
The basment was left unfiinshed by the W.P.A. so the firemen dug the remainder of it out and with the assistance of the Highway Department laid a new cement floor at very little expense.
Work Shop
Room at the rear of the apparatus floor has a wooden floor and some bad timbers. Should we be able to get iron girders we would like to put in a cement floor. All work to be done by firemen.
Windows
All windows were reputtied and painted by firemen.
Chimney
New chimney installed by W.P.A. Old one removed by firemen.
Two partitions removed from rear of apparatus room thereby giving us more space.
Rear cellar known as sand shed:
Two windows cut through rear wall, giving more light.
Drain located and tower connected with it.
This cellar was also dug two feet deeper and cement floor laid. Should fire alarm ever be moved from City Hall will make a nice place for air tanks and other storage.
Fire Alarm
Should be removed from City Hall and installed in proper place at the Central Fire Station and necessary arrangements made at time to install new system "fast time."
I believe the old system could be moved with very little expense and firemen doing the extra work.
Compressed Air Whistles
Remove bell and tower from rear of Hose 7 and install a compressed air-whistle to take care of the North end of the City.
102
ANNUAL REPORT
Also install compressed air-whistle at the South end of the city-place to be de- termined. I believe we should have three whistles to notify firemen in case of fires.
Recommendations
The purchase of a 65 foot Junior Aerial to replace the Maxim ladder truck, pur- chased in 1926. This should be given serious consideration and if conditions warrant and funds are available it would be a wise investment.
That a 750 gallon pumper and hose wagon be purchased to replace the Seagrave. This machine is now 25 years old.
Hose 7 should be discarded and replaced with a ton-pick-up truck. This machine has about out-lived its usefulness. Parts and tires are very hard to replace.
First Aid
The men are well drilled in first-aid. And all departments should have working knowledge of first aid.
In conclusion I wish to thank sincerely the Mayor, Fire Committee Members, members of the City Council, and various other department heads, also to the citizens of Newburyport for their kind assistance and co-operation. The officers and members of this department have my commendation and my sincere thanks for the efficient and faithful manner in which they have executed and performed their duties.
Respectfully yours,
C. FRANK CREEDEN,
Chief.

PARK AND TREE DEPARTMENT
Report of Park and Tree Department
January 10, 1944.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Newburyport:
Gentlemen:
I respectfully submit the following report on the Parks and Trees of the city for the year of 1943.
City Parks
During 1943 our parks have received weekly service for fifty-two weeks. Although snow removal and sanding are about all that is necessary in this department during the winter months, the labor and expense to keep up these large areas is considerable and continuous during the growing seasons.
Bartlet Mall received new park benches that were made by us on stormy days, and once more the fountain functions after necessary repairs. New turf and seed was added to beautify bare spots, and the use of weed killer on the walks and drives kept them clean. «
Brown Square received a beautiful honor roll for our men and women in the service which was appropriately landscaped with evergreens.
Cushing Park, now appreciated by the employees of the Hytron Company during lunch hour, has been kept up in a manner to avoid criticism.
If any improvement to our city parks is anticipated it should be kept in mind that it cannot be accomplished without an increase in appropriation for its initial cost and its yearly upkeep.
Central Park and Playgrounds
This department kept the playing diamond at Central Park in shape for use by High School and visiting baseball players, altho the city did not have a Twilight League team this year. Recreation projects were serviced both here as well as at Moseley Pines and the Lime street playgrounds during the summer months. All buildings, fences etc., were kept in repair as needed. The advisability and economy of employing a full time attendant at Central Park during the summer months has been proven.
Tree Department
Dangerous trees were either topped or entirely removed when tests showed it was necessary. Fifteen replacements offset the unsafe trees. Repeated requests were answered promptly throughout the year from abutters who feared the overhanging branches would injure their property. Many trees were pruned of dead wood and the Tree Warden made sure that our fire alarm and police wires were cleared at the same time that men were clearing wires for the telephone company with our permission.
104
ANNUAL REPORT
Trees needing treatment from injury were cared for as were those needing bolting. This department should never be without the services of at least one tree climber for its protection.
Moth Department
Serious infestation by Browntail Moth Caterpillars gave our men extra work. During the winter months thousands of browntail nests were cut and burned, and later on hundreds of infested trees were sprayed. Greater public co-operation is needed to prevent this pest from increasing in 1944. Very few gypsy moth egg masses were found in 1943.
The regular Elm Leaf Beetle spray was timed to do the most good for all the city elms. It was also necessary to spray for canker worms and tent caterpillars.
High School Grounds
All the grounds at the High School (except the playing field) are in our care the year around and the same continuous service as for parks is rendered. We make the small appropriation for this important area go as far as possible as we believe any neg- lect of this beautiful site would be noticeable.
Special Assignments
The Park and Tree Department was authorized to see that Victory Gardens were made available to all who desired them. Many hours of overtime were given to assure more than one hundred people land that we had secured for them. Five areas throughout the city were obtained, plotted, plowed and assigned under the direction of the superin- tendent. Evening meetings were held in City Hall to stimulate interest. All that planted gardens were benefitted by receiving crops that made fresh vegetables and hundreds of quarts of canned goods possible. Most of the victory gardeners expect to do even bet- ter in 1944.
Assignments that gave us weeks of extra work were the planting of shrubs at the High School grounds and cleaning a factory room so that it would be ready for occupancy on time. Other assignments for public benefit were carried out by us by our Mayor's orders. Throughout the year our department has assisted at the High School, Public Library, Horton Home and other departments as requested.
Tree and Park Department Headquarters
This building continues to be used not only as our headquarters but as a meeting place for various organizations. For this reason special attention must be given to neces- sary service than would otherwise be needed. This includes heating it properly and keep- ing it in repair at all times. Our efforts take care of Defense units, Boy Scouts and Dis- abled Veterans and its Auxiliary.
Summary
In the above report I have purposely omitted certain recommendations for de- partments that need increases in appropriation to meet changing conditions. These are to be found in my yearly financial report for 1943 expenses and 1944 estimates with explanatory reasons for same.
105
PARK AND TREE DEPARTMENT
I would like to acknowledge my appreciation to all city departments for the ex- cellent service rendered us, especially the highway department and the Superintendent of the Horton Home who gave us valuable assistance when needed. Without co-operation from all departments in these times, progress would have been severely impaired.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER O. NOYES, Superintendent.
