The management of the Almshouse has continued under Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Jacobs very satisfactory, and I have found Mr. Jacobs, with his years of experience, to have been an efficient official and a valuable assistant.
172
The collections for this department during the year have been $1,135.57, thereby reducing the net expense by that amount. The repairs on the Almshouse buildings have been of a minor nature and are included in the Miscellaneous expense account, but more extensive repairs will be needed during the coming year. In this connection I will say that I concur in the recommendations of my predecessor in regard to much needed improvements in the sanitary arrangements of the Almshouse. As is well known, most of our inmates are old and many are feeble, and although in years gone by it was considered "good enough" yet in consideration of the fact that this as well as every other city and town, endeavors to have its public build- ings of the most approved pattern for the purpose designed, it does not seem to be an unwarranted expense but simply an act of humanity in behalf of our unfortunate poor to have an ad- litional bath-room and water closet, and thereby comply fully and fairly with the requirements of the State law.
During the year the old 13 inch water service supply pipe has been replaced by a new 6-inch pipe running to a hydrant favorably located for use in case of fire. The supply pipe for the service of the street department and the Board of Health have been replaced and carried to their respective buildings in trenches, thus avoiding danger from frost, as was the case pre- viously, the pipes in places having been exposed to the open air.
The accommodations of the stable and outbuildings would be ample for the use of this department were it not for the fact that the Street and Health departments, who are now located there, having gained their foothold during the past years by "Squatter Sovereignty", and a constantly increasing demand for "more room", and whose demands have been repeatedly granted intil now it seems necessary for this department to assert its rights and insist that the privileges to be allowed, be clearly de- mined. But unless some such plan as the one suggested by His Honor the Mayor in regard to the erection of a new City Stable is carried out, it would seem useless to look for much improve- nen t in this direction.

'To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy.
Sir-In compliance with the ordinance governing the Po- lice Department, I have the honor to submit this, the eighth an- nual report of the department for the year ending December 31, 1896.
The organization of the regular force. remains substantially the same as last year, with one Chief of Police, and eight regu- lar men. One officer is on duty in day time, five regular and two special officers do patrol duty at night. One regular officer is on duty at the lock-up at night, and one is detailled on in- spection duty, and their places are filled by two special officers. One regular officer has died during the past year, Michael J. Canavan, and his place has been filled by the appointment of David J. Barry.
The work in the department has been done I think in a satisfactory manner, and will merit the approbation of all law- abiding citizens.

FINANCIAL.
The expenditures of this department have been within the appropriation, viz. :
Permanent Police
· $6,656 00
Special Police
2,694 00
Enforcement of liquor law
1,200 00
Police Station
450 00
The ordinance creating the Police department has been changed and another officer will be added to this force, and the money for his pay will have to be in addition to the appropria- tion of last year; further than that, I know of no reason why the appropriation should be changed from 1896.
It seems needless for me to re-state the needs of this de- partment, when they are so well known to every one that has any business with it. They have been fully set forth in my re_ ports for 1894 and 1895, and the reasons given why these wants should be supplied. If there is not something done before an other winter, lodgers will have to be accommodated by the de- partment to which they belong, the poor department. We need a Police Station ; we need more room, prisoners and lodgers are huddled into this place like sheep in a pen. As much as we need a Police station, we need a horse and patrol wagon, and a patrol wagon is but very little use without Signal Service.
In conclusion I desire to express my thanks to His Hon or the Mayor for his council and support, and also to all members of the Police Department for the able and faithful manner in which they have performed their duty, and to all others who have assisted me in the discharge of my duty, by word or deed.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH W. HAYDEN,
Chief of Police.

Report of the Fire De=
partment.
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
In compliance with the requirements of the City Ordinance I hereby present my third annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1896, containing a statement of all fires and alarms for the year, the loss and insurance on the same as far as could be ascertained, a list of the permanent force of the Department and their ages, also a schedule of the property under their charge.
ORGANIZATION.
The force consists of one chief and six assistant engineers, six permanent men, sixty-four call men, three hose companies- with ten men each, one ladder company of twelve men, two combination chemical engines and hose wagons, one with ten men and one with eleven, one hose wagon at Houghs Neck with 1000 feet of hose and volunteer company with a steward to take care of apparatus.
184
APPARATUS.
The apparatus consists of one steam fire engine in good condition, two combination chemical engines, one ladder truck, four hose wagons, three hose reels and one hose carriage, one express wagon for fire alarm purposes, one exercise wagon loaded with 1000 feet of hose, ready at all times, at Central Fire Station, in case of a large fire. Also one chemical engine and one hand engine that are not in ser- vice.
I will again call the attention of the Council to the need of better fire protection in the north part of the city as that part of the city is very poorly protected at present.
The number of horses in the department owned by the city is nine. We have in service 9000 ft. cotton hose rubber lined, 1500 ft. of which is in poor condition. The water supply continues to be good. New hydrants have been added in several parts of the city, thereby increasing the facilities of the department to get a better supply of water and to use shorter lines of hose. Twenty-three new hydrants have been added the past year making the whole number 355. I would recom- mend putting in 50 hydrants on the old line of pipes as that would give shorter lines and better fire protection.
RESERVOIRS.
The reservoirs are 14 in number, and are in about the same condition as they were a year ago.
FIRE ALARM.
There have been 200 jars of gravity battery taken out the past year and storage battery put in their place ; thereby giving better fire alarm service.
185
CONCLUSION.
In closing this report I desire to tender my sincere thanks to his honor the Mayor for his interest in the welfare of the department, to the Council for all favors rendered me during the year, to City Auditor Hall and Treasurer Gray for all favors rendered, to Chief of Police Hayden, officers and men, for the efficient manner in which they performed their duties at all fires ; to the committee on fire department, for the interest they have manifested in the business of the department, to my as- sociates of the board of engineers and to the officers and mem- bers for the prompt and efficient manner in which they have discharged their duties, thereby maintaining the reputation of the department for efficiency.
FIRES AND ALARMS.
There were 52 alarms during the year, 42 bell alarms and 10 still alarms.
The value of property at risk, $177,600 ; loss $21,503.15.
Insurance upon same, $137,693.00.
Loss on property for 3 years, $50,176.04, with 167 alarms.
