REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Fire Department has in use, and is in the following condition : One hand engine, in fair working order; one four-wheel hose carriage, new ; six hundred feet of leather hose, part new, and all good ; four hundred feet of leather hose, unfit for service ; house of engine and hose carriage in very poor condition, and extensive repairs needed.
There have been three alarms of fire the last year, and the losses have been confined wholly to the destruction of wood.
The appropriation of last year has been expended by the payment of expenses for the year 1870, and purchase of new hose, which left only about $350 for the Fire Department during the year 1871. There will be due for pay of members, May 1st,11872, about $225, for which we would ask a special appropriation.
In view that the water from Spot Pond is often entirely shut off from the mains, and the length of time before the full head is again distributed through them, the danger from fire being increased by the buildings of this town being mostly of wood, the Board of Engineers recommend that the town by vote, increase the Department to consist of one engine, to be a hand, or a steamer, thoroughly repaired, one hook and ladder carria re, to be located at or near the present engine house, one hose carriage at the Highlands, one hose errriage at Wyoming, and not less than one thousand feet of rubber or leather hose, and to furnish suitable accommoda- tion for the apparatus to be kept.
