In the summer vacation Mr. John Otis Hall jr., the first assistant teacher accepted an appointment as Principal of the High School in Millbury, Mass. Mr. Hall held the highest rank as our pupil from 1883 to 1887, and on leaving Harvard College in 1891, began immediately a course of service as a teacher unbroken for thirteen years, invincibly energetic, in-
249
telligent and loyal. It is a source of great satisfaction that one so eminently of our own training should be chosen for a place of credit and authority in the Public School System of the Commonwealth. The Master with the invaluable help of Messrs Kent and Bramhall has found himself thus far able to conduct the school studies without filling Mr. Hall's place.
Respectfully submitted

Fire Department
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
DEAR SIR: I send you a report of the Quincy Fire Depart- partment for the year ending 1904.
Yours Respectfully P. J. WILLIAMS, Chief of Quincy Fire Department.
In compliance with the requirements of the City Ordinance I hereby present my tenth annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1904, 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 depart- ment, and their ages, also a schedule of the property under their charge.
ORGANIZATION
The force consists of one chief and three assistant en- gineers, sixteen permanent men and sixty-four call men; Com- bination No 1 at Central Fire Station has two permanent men and eight call men, Combination Hook & Ladder No 2 has two permanent men and seven call men, Hose 2 has one permanent man and five call men, Hook & Ladder No 3 has one permanent and seven call men, Hose 3 has one permanent and six call men, Hose 4 has one permanent and six call men, Hose 5 has ten
252
call men, Combination No 2 has two permanent men and sevens call men, Hose 1 has one permanent and one call man.
OFFICERS Chief Engineer, P. J. Williams First Assistant Engineer, J. H. O'Brien Second Assistant Engineer, F. C. Packard Third Assistant Engineer, D. J. Nyhan
APPARATUS
The apparatus of the department consists of one steam fire engine in poor condition, two combination chemical engines and hose wagons, two combination hook and ladder trucks and one straight hook and 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 stored at. Central Fire Station.
HOSE
We have in the service 11,000 feet of cotton hose, rubber lined; 6,000 feet in good condition, 3,000 feet in fair condition, 2,000 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 one. 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 responded promptly when boxes were pulled we have as near as can be ascertained one hundred and ten miles of wire to keep in order, this branch of the ser- vice needs the greatest attention so when boxes are pulled they will work promptly.
253
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend fitting up Houghs Neck fire station with two permanent men and ten call men. I would also recommend putting in a ladder truck and hose wagon, also re- commend three more permanent men, one to be assistant to superintendent of fire alarm and police alarm as one man can- not take care of fire and police alarms properly.
CONCLUSION
In closing this report I desire 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 in which they performed their duties at fires and to my Associates of the Board of Engineers and to the the officers and members for the prompt and efficient manner in which they discharged their duties thereby maintaining the reputation of the depart- partment for efficiency. Also I want to thank Superintendent of Fire Alarms, William H. Gavin for his promptness and good service for taking care of fire alarm and police alarm.
