That a Drill Tower be erected. In order to familiarize the men with the apparatus and ladders, a drill tower, equipped with the necessary appliances must be provided.
253
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
That a hose testing device be purchased. Under present condi- tions it is impossible to test hose accurately. Hose is one of the most important factors in fire fighting, and at the same time very expensive. A 50 foot length of 21/2 inch hose is worth approxi- mately $50, consequently should be tested and cared for at regular intervals. It cannot be tested without this mechanical hose testing device.
Booster tanks should be installed on ladders 2 and 5. They are now equipped with chemical tanks which are costly to maintain, cause more damage than water, and can be used but once before refilling. A booster tank is always ready for service as long as hy- drants are near. Ladder 1 is now being equipped with a booster tank, provided for in last year's budget.
That a mechanic be appointed to maintain the apparatus in per- fect condition. Under the present system a mechanic is called in when repairs are necessary; with a mechanic on hand at all times his duties would be to keep the apparatus in running condi- tion at all times.
In conclusion I wish to express my sincere thanks to His Honor the Mayor, the members of the City Council, the various city de- partments and to the officers and men of the Fire Department for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM J. SANDS, Chief of Fire Department.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF FIRE AND POLICE SIGNAL DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 1st, 1937.
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor. City of Quincy. Quincy. Mass. DEAR SIR:
I respectfully submit the annual report of the Fire and Police Signal Department for the year ending December 31, 1936.
Personnel of Department Superintendent, Thomas J. Smith
George N. Leonard
Richard Williams
Maintenance Men George B. Howie Patrick H. Reddington
Fire Alarm
Nine miles of overhead construction in various portions of thic city were completed during the year.
Five thousand two hundred and fifty feet of multiple conductor lead and loom covered cables were drawn in and terminated at strategic locations.
Nine new boxes were added to the system on new locations and seven replacements of obsolete types were accomplished.
Seventy-two battery units were replaced with new type long reserve capacity spray proof cells.
All boxes were tested periodically and painted, cleaned and oiled. School systems were maintained with a minimum of financial outlay.
Although I abhor constant repetition it is absolutely essential that the pressing need of more fire alarm box circuits be realized ; too little thought on this matter may have serious consequences in the near future.
Police Signals
In all the cable installations of the past years sufficient space has been allotted to the Police signal wires to care for all requirements at no expense.
One box was installed and all other equipment was maintained in the best manner possible.
Traffic Signals
During the year the state traffic bureau completed a much needed survey of our important intersections in all portions of the city both for present and future needs. That report has been received in plain and simple language. It calls for a large amount of work on the part of this department with a moderate expenditure of funds.
With the safety of the general public at stake it would be short- sighted not to make these necessary changes, therefore I have al- ready started to make the alterations as long as available funds will go and hope for an additional financial help in the coming year.
Two intersections were changed from the old style stop and go with its needless delays to flashing lights with push button pedes- trian features. This change has been of great benefit to both the motorist and the pedestrian as well, with the advantage of security to the public at all hours because under the old plan the other type lights were off for long periods.
Respectfully submitted, THOMAS J. SMITH, Superintendent.

REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor of City of Quincy,
DEAR SIR:
I herewith respectfully submit the thirty-eighth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1936.
During the year this department was called upon by practically every department connected with the city for some kind of engi- neering. As the work was so varied it is impossible to itemize it. A brief review of the more important requests from the various departments is as follows:
City Council
All meetings of the City Council and Finance Committee were at- tended by the City Engineer and all information requested was furnished.
City Solicitor
The usual number of plans and surveys were made for land tak- ings, sewer and drain easements.
During the year the City Engineer was called upon to make plans and to testify in his capacity for the City Solicitor in legal actions against the City.
Assessors' Department
The work on Assessors' tracings was materially reduced this year. There were 2,393 transfers of properties as against 4,970 in 1935 and 2,835 for 1934. This shows that we are once again getting back to normal.
There were 446 Tax Collector's liens for which corrections were made on plans.
During the year there were 150 new tracings made to replace some which were old and worn out. This work is usually done during the winter months.
A number of surveys was made and plans prepared for Tax Appeal Cases.
Building Department
During the year 194 applications for permit to build or move buildings were referred to this Department. The City Engineer personally visited each site and established the grade.
Cemetery Department
The grading of the undeveloped area at Mount Wollaston Ceme- tery was completed and the much needed space has become avail- able for use. In the near future the City must seriously consider taking additional land for the extension of this Cemetery or find a new location. This is a matter which should have immediate study and report by the City Planning Board.
262
CITY OF QUINCY
The wall has been completed along the Northerly and Easterly property lines, also on Merrymount Road and on the Southern Artery as far as Greenleaf Street. It is hoped that the remainder can be completed this year. This work was done by the W. P. A .; plans, etc., for this work were made by this Department.
During 1935 a survey of the Cemetery was completed. Tracings of a uniform size of the entire Cemetery and future planning of the undeveloped area are now being made. These will be of great help to the Cemetery Department. At present the plans are of various sizes and are very hard to handle.
The large key plan has been completed and has found much favor by those who have had occasion to use it.
Park Department
The most notable achievement this year has been the beautifi- cation of Faxon Park. The wall on Faxon Park Road has been com- pleted and a large proportion around the sides is under construction and will continue until completed. Roads, paths and play areas have been built and a look-out area on the high point near the back of the Park will soon be a reality.
In Ward Six the Football Field on Birch Street is nearing com- pletion. The field has been built and seeded, together with a cinder track and three wooden stands which will accommodate 1200 people. During the early part of 1937 the whole field will be enclosed with a suitable chain link fence. This will fill a much needed athletic field for the students at the North Quincy High School.
Dennis O'Neil Playground adjacent to the Birch Street Field will be ready for baseball in the early Spring. This was another much needed project constructed by W. P. A. Funds.
Throughout the City other parks and playgrounds were re-graded under W. P. A. Projects.
Tax Collector
During the year descriptions of 5,022 parcels of land to be sold for unpaid taxes, were furnished to the Tax Collector. There were 446 requests received by the Tax Collector from attorneys and indi- viduals asking for information regarding outstanding betterments or liens. These requests were filled by this Department.
Sewers
The P. W. A. Sewers under Docket No. 2051 have been connected to the main trunk sewer and are now in operation. It is expected that the coming year will see many house connections to this system.
There were a number of W. P. A. Projects as well as work cón- structed by the City during the year. Plans, etc., have been pre- pared for a considerable extension to the system for 1937.
All construction work was under the direction of Mr. Walter S. Mckenzie, Superintendent of Sewers.
For list of sewers constructed during the year see attached schedule.
263
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Surface Drains
A number of drains was constructed under W. P. A. during the year. Many projects have been and are being prepared to carry on this work in 1937.
During the year work was continued on parts of Town Brook and Furnace Brook, consisting of straightening, widening, riprap and building of walls. These, too, will continue in 1937 with extensions to the already existing W. P. A. Projects.
This work is supervised by the Sewer Division of the Public Works Department.
For schedule of location with lengths and sizes, see attached list.
Accepted Streets
Welgate Circle was accepted and constructed during the year.
Much work was done on accepted streets and will be classified under Street Rebuilding.
Street Rebuilding
The program for this work as laid out was practically completed with few changes and some additions. The sum of $270,656.34 was available for this work.
The most notable work was the resurfacing of Hancock Street from City Hall to School Street. The car tracks were covered and the entire street was given a smooth surface.
School Street from Hancock Street to Water Street was rebuilt so that with work done in 1935 this needed artery gives easy access to Braintree and beyond.
Other much needed work was done, for complete detail see attached schedule under heading of Streets Rebuilt during 1936.
For streets oiled and sanded, see attached schedule.
For streets treated with Tar, Pea Stone and Gravel, see at- tached schedule.
Curbing
Considerable work was done this year under W.P.A. Projects and in connection with the street rebuilding program. Most of the stone was quarried and cut at the Gray Rock Quarry under W.P.A. Project.
For list and location of curbing placed, see attached schedule.
Granolithic Sidewalks
For the fifth consecutive year there was no appropriation for this type of work. It is planned to submit a project under W.P.A. for about five miles of this type of sidewalk. If approved the only cost to the City would be for materials.
During the year some Granolithic Sidewalks were replaced, for schedule of location, see attached list.
264
CITY OF QUINCY
Asphalt Sidewalks
The work started in 1935 under Chapter 464 of the General Laws was completed, and supplemented our money, for which only the balance of the 1935 appropriation was available.
For itemized list and location see attached schedule.
Conclusion
May I again take this opportunity to express my appreciation to His Honor the Mayor, Members of the City Council, Depart- ment Heads and W.P.A. Officials for their co-operation, also for the loyalty shown and co-operation extended to me by the per- sonnel of this Department.
Respectfully submitted,
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, City Engineer.
