REPORT OF THE
VERSEER OF THE POOR.
To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF QUINCY :
I hereby respectfully present my report as Overseer of the Poor of Quincy for the year 1889. It covers 11 months of my fiscal year and one month under the Town Board of Overseers. Although our city has increased in population largely within the past few years, this report shows a decreasing number of persons aided, also in the amount expended ; one of the causes being the assistance of" the Quincy Catholic Charitable Society, who with the assist- ance of our City Physician, has aided many whose wants were temporary and who would otherwise be a charge to our city. The Almshouse is under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Jacobs, by whom the inmates are properly and kindly cared for. The number of inmates has varied from 15 to 28; admitted during the year, eight ; discharged, 10, and six have died. The average number was 20.34, making the cost per week for each inmate $2.005. I found on entering upon my duties, the want of a history of the people being aided. I think it very important that a record should be kept of all persons who apply for aid, and their history recorded. I have
133
recorded a history of all new cases and most of the old cases, this year. I would recommend that a complete abatement book be compiled immediately for the use of the Overseers of the Poor in some form or other. We have none previous to the year 1861, and since then the record is not complete. I am now obliged to get much of my information from past Town Reports and other sources which are not always reliable. In fact this year I find a few who have been aided in the past by the Town of Quincy who have no settlement here. One person whom the town has aided for the past 12 years to the amount of $2,236.25 has no settlement here, but belongs to the State, and on presentation of these facts you have applied to the Legislature for reimbursement. For the Financial Report I refer you to the accompanying pages.
I also request the appropriation of the sum of $7,500, together with the income of the Poor Department for the year 1890.
Respectfully yours, GEORGE H. FIELD, Overseer of Poor, City of Quincy.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER,
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF QUINCY :
Dear Sir .- In compliance with the requirements govern- ing the Fire Department I herewith submit to you the first · annual report of the doings and the condition of the Depart- ment, under city government, together with a list of the members, with their rank, age, residence and occupation, lo- cation of alarm boxes, fires and alarms, inventory of property in possession of the Department at this date. I also wish to make some suggestions that in my opinion would be a great benefit to the Fire Department.
THE FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The force of the Department consists of one Chief, six Assistant Engineers (each district being represented), five permanent men, and 68 call members, also one man who has charge of Chemical Engine No. 1. Making the entire force of the Department 76 men.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus consists of one Amoskeag steam fire engine, one hook and ladder truck fully equipped, three hose wagons, two four-wheel hose carriages, one hose pung,
150
two chemical engines, two hose jumpers, one supply wagon and one wagon for fire alarm service. All in good repair with the exception of Hose 1 wagon, which has got to have new wheels immediately, also painted. The steamer also is a question of economy in regard to paint.
HOUSES.
The houses of the Department with the exception of Hose 2, Chemical 2 and Chemical 1, are in very poor condi- tion and can be repaired only by building new ones. The buildings now occupied by the Steamer 1, Hose 1 and Hook and Ladder 1, are not only an eye-sore but a disgrace to the citizens, firemen, and also to the city government. The house occupied by Hose 3, if left to itself, will soon fall down and the carriage lost in the reservoir beneath. Hose 4 house is of ancient design and the citizens of that district will soon be heard from in a loud voice saying, "we want a new house."
HOSE.
We have about 6,500 feet of hose all in fairly good con- dition as far as appearances go. Some 300 or 400 feet are get- ting old and may not last a great while. With an addition of 600 feet, I think the Department would feel that they were . fairly well provided for, and with good care and no serious ac- cident I feel safe in making this particular report. -
