Report of Overseer of the Poor.
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Poor Depart- ment for the year 1902. The appropriation for the year was $14,000 and was sufficient to pay all bills presented before December 31st, leaving a balance of $954.03; but as usual, . bills contracted during the year will exceed the appropriation, and an additional one will'be necessary.
The amount paid the Hospital was $858.38.
The total amount expended December 31st was $13,986.32, of which $11,205.73 was for Outside Poor, and $2780.59 was for the Almshouse.
The increased cost of the necessities of life have told very heavily in this department, as the supplies purchased cost at least 20 per cent. more than two years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Jacobs, Superintendent and Matron of the Almshouse for many years, resigned in April. Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson were appointed to fill the vacancies, and assumed the positions May 1st, 1902. They have in every way been satisfactory, and under their direction the Almshouse has been conducted in an economical and business like manner, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
Few, if any, repairs have been made recently on the build- ing, and it was necessary this year to have considerable repair- ing done. Most of the work has been done by the inmates,
24
under the direction of the Superintendent, the only cost being for material. The City Council passed an order for a system of bath rooms in the Almshouse, and three such were installed during the year, so that at present the Almshouse is in a sanitary condition that is no longer a reproach to the city. The State Board called attention to the need of painting and whitening the walls and ceilings ; but so much was necessary to be done, that could no longer be delayed, that this matter had to lay over. I would recommend that the unexpended balance of the Appropriation for Almshouse Closets be transferred, so that it may be used for the purpose.
The problem of furnishing fuel to the city's needy poor during the past winter was the most serious one that has con- fronted the department during my connection with it. After December 1st the dealers declined to receive orders, except subject to three weeks delay. As no orders are ever given in this department until the need is immediate, it was clear that the action of the dealers would cause untold suffering.
Notice of this action was given by me to His Honor, Mayor Bryant, with the result that fifty cords of the finest hard wood was immediately transferred to this department. This was sufficient to tide over the distress, until December 30th, at which date the coal purchased by the Mayor for this depart- ment arrived, when the department was again in a position to properly care for its charge.

Public Burial Places
-
To His Honor the Muyor of the City of Quincy :
The Managers of Public Burial Places respectfully submit the following report for the year 1902.
Work in this department has progressed favorably during the past year. While the amount appropriated by the City Council, to carry on its work, was considerably smaller than for several years, your Board has, by exercising the strictest economy, been able to keep within the amount appropriated. At the close of the year 1902 there was a balance of $85.90 to the credit of this department. There are, however, a few out- standing bills against the department, but the balance is more than enough to settle them.
A large proportion of the amount appropriated is expended at
Mount Wollaston cemetery, where it can be used to much better advantage, although some little work must necessarily be done at the Hancock cemetery. The expenditures of the department are largely for labor, in the care of lots, re- grading and foundations for which a return is had. The amounts received for this work are paid directly into the City Treasury. As the receipts usually exceed the amount expended, it is evident that the department is practically self-supporting.
Nothing has as yet been done toward laying out any part of the additional land purchased by the city in 1901, for ceme- tery purposes. A number of lots have been sold this year so that there are now comparatively few unsold lots in the present cemetery. A section of the new land should be laid out next year and to do this it will be necessary to ask for a special
28
appropriation, as it will be impossible to do the work with the amount usually allotted to this department.
During the past year it was deemed advisable to increase the price charged for lots in Mt. Wollaston cemetery and after due consideration a slight advance was made. The prices charged today, however, are not excessive when compared with prices charged by cemeteries in other cities. As it frequently happens that small lots are desired, several of the larger lots have been divided so that citizens who desire a small lot can be accommodated.
There are many visitors to Mt. Wollaston during the sum- mer months and frequent complaints have been made at the_ unfeeling way in which some of the visitors conduct themselves. They apparently forget they are upon sacred ground and made a nuisance of themselves by riding bicycles rapidly through the drives and crowding about open graves during interments. This year by an arrangement with your Honor, an officer was detailed to cover Mt. Wollaston cemetery. The result was most satis- factory and helped to stop a growing evil.
The carrying out of the lawn plan has been continued and during the year twelve lots have been regraded, largely at the expense of the owners. It was impossible, however, to regrade all lots that were ordered owing to lack of funds. It is hoped that many more may be regraded the ensuing year. During the past year five lots have been taken under perpetual care for which $650 has been deposited. The number of lots now under perpetual care is 129, and the total fund held for this purpose $17,150. Several other applications have been acted upon favorably and deeds issued but the money had not been de- posited when the year closed.
There is little to be said about the old Hancock cemetery. Some little work has been done here to make it presentable. The street wall, however, will soon have to be rebuilt as repairs have to be frequently made to keep it from tumbling into the street.
All work in the two city cemeteries is done under the superintendence of James Nicol, who has filled that position for several years and who continues to give entire satisfaction.

Report of City Physician
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
The following report of the City Physician for the year 1902 is respectfully submitted.
It is a great pleasure to credit the present administration with the much needed sanitary improvements effected this year in the Almshouse. The introduction of three modern bath rooms has added greatly to the convenience and healthfulness of the inmates.
The health of the inmates has been fully up to the standard of past years, only the ordinary slight acute illnesses have prevailed.
The outside poor have required the usual attention.
The prevalance of small pox has largely increased the work of this department the past year. Numerous visits have been made to quarantined families and suspected cases for the pro- tection of the public against possible infection.
Twenty-five visits were made to Almshouse.
One hundred and sixty to outside poor.
Twenty-three to Police Department.
Five times in attendance at Police Court.
Fourteen examinations for Civil Service.
Visits to quarantined cases, vaccination and office visits were in large number.

To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
SIR : In accordance with the requirements of the City Ordinance, I have the honor to submit this report of the doings of the Police Department of the City of Quincy, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1902.
The whole number of arrests for the year has been seven hundred and twenty-seven (727), as against four hundred and fifty (450) last year ; an increase of 277.
The most of this increase seems to be for the crime of drunkenness, which is 50 per cent. of the whole number of arrests ; 363 as against 183 last year.

The department as now organized consists of a chief and fourteen patrolmen ; one patrolman on duty in the daytime and eight patrolmen on duty on the street in the night time; one patrolman detailed as liquor officer and inspector; one patrol- man detailed for duty at the police station in the daytime ; one patrolman detailed in charge of the police station in the night time ; one patrolman detailed as driver of the patrol wagon ; and one patrolman detailed as wagon attendant in the night- time.
Two patrolmen have resigned during the year, viz : Chas. G. Nicol on March 29, and Frank J. Davoren on April 9.
Six new men were appointed April 11 ; two to fill the vacan- cies caused by the resignations and four in addition to the original force, making a total of fourteen men.
The facilities for doing the work of this department have been greatly increased during the past year by the remod- elling and fitting up of the old stone school-house on School
38
street for a police station (which was occupied by the depart- ment for the first time Feb. 15, 1902), the installation of a police signal system on March &, and the introduction of a patrol wagon on May 17.
These improvements have rendered the work of the depart- ment much more satisfactory and undoubtedly the largely increased number of arrests over the previous years is due in no small measure to the fact that we now have a patrol wagon in which to covey prisoners to the police station. From May 17, to Dec. 31, we had two hundred and sixty-six (266) wsgon calls to convey prisoners to the station; and forty-one (41) ambulance calls to convey injured persons to the hospital.
Convenient and useful as the wagon is, the signal service is more so; by its use in communicating with the officers on their routes in reference to anything that requires their attention, and their reporting to the station whatever happens on their routes that should be reported, and for instructions to them in any case . in which they are in doubt and in need of instructions, it is really indispensible.
Although we have had some additions to the police force the past year, the number of men is still only about one-half of what is usually considered the standard, and without doubt the city will be called upon before long for more officers, as there is only one man on patrol duty now in the whole city in the day- time and it will soon be a case of necessity that more day offi- cers be supplied.
To the officers of this department I desire to express my thanks for the faithful performance of their duty ; their watch- ful care for the public good and the unusual interest they have taken in the suppression of the sale of intoxicating liquors.
In concluding this report, I desire to express to His Honor, the Mayor, for his unwavering support ; to the City Solicitor for his wise counsel and all others who have so kindly co-operated with me in the performance of the duties of my office, my sincere thanks.
