REMARKS.


The Board of Engineers wish to make the following remarks and recommendations :


One of the things which has given the Department great annoyance during the past year has been the prevalence of brush and wood fires. When such fires are caused by mere accident, or even through carelessness, or when they originate in causes difficult of explanation, they do not impress one as so aggravating as the fires have been which we have had to deal with during the past year.


From the best information we have been able to obtain, we are forced to declare that a large majority of the brush and wood fires of the year 1905 have had their sole origin in malicious mischief on the part of boys and young men who set fires simply for sport. These fires have cost the town, in exact figures, during the past year, $456.50.


This amount is about one-sixth of the total amount expended for fire purposes during the year. It is a large expense to be incurred simply by unnecessary boyish mischief. We have this to say to the boys and to teachers, parents, and guardians of youth : Arson is a serious crime at law, and we shall see to it that everyone who maliciously and mischievously starts a brush or wood fire shall, if found out, be as severely dealt with as the


1


94


courts will allow. The property endangered by these fires is among the best residential property in town, and is valued at many thousands of dollars.


Another point which we would emphasize is the need of more promptness in turning in alarms. In some fires, during the past year, delay in turning in an alarm has entailed a loss of $2,000 or $3,000. The Department is severely handicapped if it arrives at a fire late. When there has been a delay in giving in the alarm, we feel that a loss has been sustained that could have been avoided had notification reached us when it should.


When a fire has been discovered the alarm should be turned in at once. Late at night, when there are few people out, it is especially important that people who happen to be upon the streets should give the quickest possible notification of a fire. We would call especial attention to the list of fire alarm boxes printed with this report. Residents should ascertain where their boxes is, bear it in mind and be ready to act promptly and intelligently when a fire breaks out. Remember particularly this rule : After breaking the glass and securing the key of the fire alarm box, turn the key half way round, and hold it back. With a slight pull the door will open. The box has a spring lock. Do not attempt to turn the Key fully around. It should be turned half way around.


We would urge just as strongly as we did last year, the im- perative need of having, in the near future, better facilities for fighting fires. The recent disastrous fire in Rutland, Vt., points its impressive lesson as to the folly of having a large town in- adequately provided with facilities for protection against fires. But little can be done in this town, however, until we have a proper building to put our apparatus in. The town has, during the past year, done wisely in purchasing land on Market street for a central fire station.


We would recommend, for the coming year, that a commit- tee be chosen or appointed to consider the matter of erecting a building, and report to the town at its earliest convenience as to


95


just the kind of a central fire station it would be advisable to put up. As soon as a suitable building is erected we shall recommend the purchase of an improved, up-to-date hook and ladder apparatus, and such other apparatus as seems proper and necessary.


We would recommend, for the present year, the purchase of 1000 additional feet of hose, and the appropriation of $3,000 for general fire expenses.


Respectfully submitted, J. F. BOYDEN, H. F. WALKER, F. W. TALBOT, Board of Engineers.

GENTLEMEN :- The following is the ninth annual report of the town's fire alarm system. During the past year there has been one new box added to the system, namely, Box No. 38, at the corner of Pleasant and Dean street. I recommend that the sum of $400 be raised and appropriated for the support of the fire alarm system for the ensuing year.


Respectfully submitted, WARREN C. COTTRELL, Supt. of Fire Alarm.


DIRECTIONS IN CASE OF FIRE.


Get key to nearest box, open, pull the lever all the way down ONCE, then let go.


Remain at the station, if possible, after giving an alarm, to direct the firemen to the fire.


Citizens are earnestly requested to keep themselves in- formed as to the location of keys.


CAUTION TO PERSONS HOLDING KEYS.


Never open the box except in case of fire.


Never sound the alarm for a fire seen at a distance.


Be reasonably sure there is a fire before sounding the alarm.


97


Never let the key go out of your possession except to some responsible person to give an alarm of fire.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS.


The Cemetery Commissioners herewith present their report for the financial year ending January 31, 1906.


Mr. Charles B. Dexter has superintended the labor in care of lots, maintenance and improving avenues and walks, and general care, also putting in monument foundations and grading lots.


The work of grading and preparing more lots' for future use has been continued.


Some new avenues and walks have;been made, and more graveling done on the old ones.


The appearance of the cemetery has been very good, in re- gard to the avenues and walks and most of the lots, but the total neglect of some of the lot owners injures the appearance of the whole cemetery.


More of the lot owners deposited money for perpetual care of their lots this year.


We would suggest to lot owners the propriety of making provision in their wills for the perpetual care of their lots, if they do not do it before.


There have been 113 interments this year.


There are now five bodies in the tomb.
