During the year of 1929 there were 923 alarms, making an in- crease of 149 alarms over last year. While the alarms were more in number this past year the risks were greater and the losses less than in 1928.
We have added a new Nash chief's car and a new truck for the Fire Alarm equipment.
The two Deputy Chiefs took their positions February 2, 1929. According to promotions made from the rank of privates to lieu- tenants last year, five new men should be appointed this year to fill in those vacancies in the private ranks.
There were 7,800 feet of underground cable installed with all necessary junction boxes and laterals. Eighteen new fire alarm boxes were installed, twelve of these replacing old type boxes, and thirteen miles of overhead wire were strung. The number of fire alarm box tests were 2,600, circuit tests were 1,200, circuit ground tests were 400, and 340 new cross arms were used.
Relative to fire alarms, the sounding of fire alarms at Head- quarters and the receiving of same has got to be done in a differ- ent manner; changes will have to be made in the fire alarm build- ing so that all alarms will be sent out manually. That will require a man at the desk twenty-four hours per day on eight hour shifts in the fire alarm building.
We will surely have to purchase this coming year one or two small trucks to fight grass and brush fires, as it is costing too much to send out our larger pieces of apparatus to the increasing number of these fires. It makes our repair bills enormous.
If the School Committee ever stops coming to the City Council for new buildings and additions, I intend to ask for a new Central Fire Station and repairs to such other buildings to meet the re- quirements of necessary apparatus, which from time to time may have to be added to our department. In my opinion, there are a lot of repairs which should be made and a lot of money to be ex- pended in the Fire Department before there is any money spent for an aerial ladder or any other ladder.

CITY OF QUINCY
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to His Honor the Mayor, for the interest he has taken in the department, the City Council, and to the officers and men of the department for their cooperation and their splendid work.
Very respectfully, ALFRED L. MEAD, Chief of Fire Department.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
JANUARY 1, 1930.
HONORABLE THOMAS J. MCGRATH Mayor of Quincy, Quincy, Mass.
DEAR SIR :- I herewith submit the twenty-third annual report of the Building Department for the year ending December 31, 1929.

making a total of 612 new housekeeping units. Thirty-eight mer- cantile buildings were constructed and seven small manufacturing buildings. The Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation has erected a fine new office building on the northerly side of East Howard street nearly opposite the main office building.
Early in the year an effort was made to correct a serious condi- tion which exists in the city in the location of business blocks, the intent being to locate these buildings thirty feet from the center line of the street to insure light and ventilation and to provide means of adding to the facilities of traffic without the expense of demolishing buildings, which the authorities have given permits to erect. This project has been under consideration for over thirty years, but has been defeated in the City Council many times. In the interest of good government it would seem to be advisable to adopt this or some suitable measure to provide for the future location of these buildings.
