The fire losses for the past year are about $30,000.00 less than in 1926. There have been ten men added to the department and a new station opened. Quincy seems to be growing every year, building increasing as well as the population; every new building adds another fire hazard. Many fires that we have should never occur. Now, for example, we have too many cellar fires in dwell- ings, caused by the accumulation of litter and rubbish which should not exist. It is impossible to have men in this department inspect the cellars of all the houses in the city, and I advise the occupants of dwellings to keep their places free from all rubbish.
Chimney fires are too numerous. Owners should pay more atten- tion to the chimney. Children cause a lot of fires through the negligence of their parents. If all house owners and occupants would cooperate with this department it would seem to me that fires and fire losses would be decreased to a great extent.
During the year, while we have had a great number of fires, five of this number caused over one-third of the total loss of the year. While I appreciate the fact that replacement values are the causes which make the losses much larger than years ago, yet in my mind it seems that some adjustments that are made are too much, thus bringing the fire losses up and keeping the insurance rates up. Very often the insurance companies salvage goods, but the fire departments are never given credit for any salvaged goods which they are entitled to. If this was done fire losses would be much smaller in a good many cases.
In the Fire Alarm Department we have put up 826 new cross arms and strung 35.8 miles of wire. New underground cable has been pulled in ducts, amounting to 8,750 feet with suitable testing boxes. Four new boxes have been installed and five obsolete boxes have been replaced by new boxes. Five boxes have been equipped with added attachments to communicate with inside alarm sys- tems in school houses. The total number of box tests for the year
195
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
were 2,500. There has been 100 cells of battery replaced. Bat- tery tests 300 Mil. Amperes, readings 950, voltage readings 950. Two siren horns to replace gongs on streets have been installed, also one at Doble's Corner.
Some of the recommendations of the National Board of Under- writers should be complied with at an early date.
In Conclusion
To His Honor, the Mayor, and City Council I wish to extend my sincere thanks for their cooperation during the past year, and also to the officers and members of the department for their prompt and efficient manner in which they have performed their duties.
Very respectfully,
ALFRED L. MEAD, Chief of Department.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
JANUARY 1, 1928.
HON. THOMAS J. MCGRATH, Mayor, Quincy, Mass.
DEAR SIR :- I herewith submit the twenty-first annual report of the Building Department for the year ending December 31st, 1927.
The City of Quincy has had a remarkable growth during the past 10 years, and the year 1927 has kept pace with those years.
The prospects for the coming year look favorable for a further continuance of home building and apartment houses.
A general revision and enlargement of the Building Code was passed by the City Council and signed by His Honor the Mayor early in May of this year and became effective on June first. This revision has proved. thus far, to be very satisfactory to the citi- zens, and the builders have cooperated willingly in the carrying out of these requirements.
The number of housekeeping units erected the past year was 907, in which number are included 490 single family houses, the remainder being in multiple and apartment houses, three of the latter having been erected in the year 1927. Twenty-eight mer- cantile buildings were constructed during the year, this being a decrease of fifty per cent below the record of 1926. Fourteen manufacturing buildings, mostly of small capacity, were erected. These last two classifications, which in my opinion are of vast importance to the welfare of our city, are not keeping pace with the building of homes. It behooves us to devise some means of encouraging industries and business to locate here. If we fail to accomplish this, I fear that our homes will be forced to provide the revenue to pay the ever-increasing municipal expenses.
