The Metropolitan Park Commission has completed takings for a Boulevard and through the efforts of your local board has changed its proposed route so as not to pass through Merry Mount Park. The present route first touches Merry Mount Park on north east side of Pine Island, crosses Black's Creek at that point touching Merry Mount Park on the way and then follows the south east shore of Black's Creek to Hancock street. This places both banks of Furnace Brook and Black's Creek from Adams street to the sea under Park authorities and makes Pine Island accessible from Merry Mount Park as soon as the Boulevard is built.

Fire Department
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy : -
In compliance with the requirements of the City Ordinance I hereby present my eigth annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1902, containing a statement of all fires and alarms for the year, the loss and insurance on the same as far as could be ascertained, the 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 three assistant engineers, fifteen permanant and seventy-nine call men. Com- bination No. 1, at Central Fire Station has two permanent and eleven call men, Combination Hook & Ladder No. 1, has one permanent and twelve call men, Combination Hook & Ladder No. 2, has two permanent and ten call men, Hose No. 2, has one permanent and five call men, Hook & Ladder No. 3, has one permanent and ten call men, Hose No. 3, has one permanent and six call men, Hose No. 4, has one per- manent and six call men, Hose No. 5, has ten call men, Com- bination No. 2, has two permanent and nine call men, Hose No. 1, has one permanent and one call man.

OFFICERS.
John H. O'Brien, 1st asst. Chief. F. C. Packard, 2d asst. Chief. D. J. Nyhan, 3d asst. Chief.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department consists of one Steam Fire Engine, in fair condition, two Combination Chemical En- gines and Hose Wagons, two Combinations Ladder Trucks, one strait Hook & Ladder Truck, five Hose Wagons, one hose reel, two Express Wagons for fire alarm purposes, also one Chemical Engine and one hand engine not in service.
HOSE.
We have in the service 9,000 feet of cotton hose rubber lined, 6,000 feet in good condition, 2,000 feet in fair condition and 1,000 feet in poor condition. I believe the department should be kept well supplied with hose in case of emergency. The life of hose is two years, after that it is liable to burst when heavy pressure is put on. I will call the attention of the Council to placing more hydrants on old line of pipes as it will give better fire protection, also saving the city a great deal of money in using shorter lines of hose.
FIRE ALARM.
The Fire Alarm service has been increased the past year by adding one new dynamo and several miles of wire have been rebuilt. We have as near as can be ascertained eighty miles of Fire Alarm wire to keep in order. This branch of the service needs the greatest attention so when boxes are pulled, they will work promptly.
75

Two hundred and thirty cells of Battery, one Six Circuit Repeater, one Six Circuit Switchboard with switches, 7 Gal- vanometers, 6 Lighting Arresters, 1 quartered Oak Switchboard and 7 Switches, 1 Circuit Breaker, 1 Volt Meter Millampmeter with six Switches, 6 resistanee Coils, 6 Jacks with Plug, 5 Rogers Protectors, 12 Lamps with 104 Volts each, Hy- drometors with test tube in Box, 1 18 inch Combination gong and indicator at Central Station. Chief Williams has two gongs, one 6 inch and one 12 inch, both Gamewell ; Quincy Electric Light and Power Co., one 18 inch Gamewell Gong ; Old Colony St. Railway and Power House, one 12 inch Game- well Gong; Tubular Rivet and Stud Co., one 12 inch Gamewell Gong ; Engineer F.

Number of boxes 75. Four tower strikers on churches, one automatic Gamewell Whistle at Eagle Polishing Co., and about one hundred and ten miles of wire.
HORSES.
The number of horses in the department are twenty, which are all in good condition and in good working order, excepting two, which will have to be replaced on account of their age. Their ages run from six to twenty-two years.
76
RECOMMENDATIONS.
As there is a Fire Station being built at Houghs Neck I would also recommend putting in new house, one Ladder Truck and Hose Wagon with permanent men and horses. By doing so, that would give that part of the city better fire protection which is needed very badly. I would also recommend putting the fire alarm system under ground from the Central Fire Station to Neponset Bridge and from City Square to Quincy Point Bridge.
CONCLUSION.
In closing this report, I wish to tender my sincere thanks to His Honor Mayor Bryant for his interest in the welfare of the Department, to the Council for all favors rendered during the year, to the city Auditor and Treasurer for all favors rendered, to the Chief of Police and officers for the manner they performed their duties at fires; to the Committee on Fire Department for the interest they have manifested in the business of the Department, to my associates of the Board of Engineers and to the officers and members for the prompt and efficient manner in which they discharged their duties thereby maintaining the reputation of the Department for efficiency.
