The first horse hose reel owned by the city was purchased in 1863; it carried 1,000 feet of hose. In August, 1874, a hose wagon was pur- chased for Hose Company No. 2, which had previously used a reel. This was the first hose wagon owned by the corporation.
Hose Company No. 6 was organized May 6, 1879. In 1890 a hose wagon was bought for Hose Company No. 8, which was organized July 8, 1874.
The first chemical engine owned by the city was an upright, double- tank machine purchased in 1872 and stationed at the old Cataract en- gine house on Rock street; this engine remained in service until 1876. The second one was a double-tank engine of 120 gallons capacity, and was bought in 1893; it is stationed at the Bedford street engine house and manned by members of Hose Company No. 2. The third chem- ical, now known as Chemical No. 2, was bought in 1896, and is sta- tioned on Pleasant street.
The first steam fire engine owned in Fall River was called the Que- quechan No. 1. It was the fifth steamer built by the Amoskeag Com- pany, of Manchester, N. H., and was bought in 1859; it remained in service until 1871, when it was replaced by a second-class rotary engine built by the Silsbee Company of Seneca Falls, N. Y. ; this engine re- mained in service until 1891. The city then purchased the present Engine No. 1, built by the La France Company of Elmira; it is sta- tioned in the Prospect street house.
In 1860 the city purchased an Amoskeag first class piston engine and

named it King Philip No. 2; it was stationed at Court Square until 1871, when it was removed to Central engine house. It remained in service until 1873, when the corporation bought of the Allen Fire De- partment Supply Company, of Providence, the small piston engine known as King Philip, jr. This engine remained in service until 1879. when the company was disbanded. The machine is now kept as a spare engine.
In 1865 the city purchased from the Amoskeag Company the rotary engine known as Metacomet No. 3; it remained in service until 1871 when it was replaced by an engine bought of Jucket & Fales, of Provi- dence. This was a second-class piston engine, which continued in ser- vice until 1891. The city then purchased the present Steamer No. 3, a first-class piston engine built by Clapp & Jones, of Hudson, N. Y., and now stationed at Central engine house.
In 1868 another steamer was added, called Niagara No. 4, purchased in Roxbury and stationed in the old Niagara house on Pleasant street, but subsequently removed to Eight-rod Way. It remained in service until 1893, when the present No. 4 was bought; this is a second-class piston engine and is stationed in the Plymouth avenue house.
In 1873 the city purchased of William C. Hunneman, of Boston, the second-class steamer, Massasoit No. 5, and located it on Freedom street. It was continued in service until 1895, when it was replaced by a first- class piston engine of the La France make.
In 1874 there was purchased from the Silsbee Company a second- class rotary steamer called Annawan No. 6, and placed in the North Main street house. It remained in service until 1879, when the machine was dispensed with and the company was organized as a hose company. In the same year (1874) the city purchased from the Allen Fire Depart- ment Supply Company a second-class piston engine, the Pocasset No. 7, and placed it in the Pleasant street house. It remained in service until 1895, when there was purchased from the American Steam Fire Engine Company, of New York, the present No. 7.
The first hook and ladder truck supplied to the city after its incor- poration was built in 1857 by Asa Eames; it cost, without ladders, $100. It was equipped with thirteen ladders, four large fire hooks, thirty-eight buckets and other apparatus. It was first stationed at the old town house on Central street and remained in service until 1871, and was broken up in 1894. In 1871 the city purchased the truck which is now No. 3, and placed it first at the Central engine house; it

was called No. 1 and is now in the Niagara house. In 1873 a hook and ladder truck was purchased of E. B. Laverick, of New York, which was first called No. 2 and was stationed in the Bedford street house; later it was removed to Pleasant street where it was known as No. 4. It remained in service until 1896. In 1875 there was bought the ap- paratus known as the Skinner Truck No. 1, which is stationed at the Central engine house. It remained in service until 1885. It had an extension ladder reaching ninety feet. In 1885 the city obtained the present truck, which has an extension ladder sixty-five feet long and is equipped with all modern appliances. It was the first truck in Massa - chusetts to be drawn by three horses. In 1890 the present Truck No. 2 was bought and stationed at the Bedford street house; it has an eighty-five foot ladder and a Bangor extension ladder. In 1895 the present Truck No. 4 was bought; it has a main ladder seventy-five feet long, and is located in the Pocasset engine house.
In 1895 a much needed addition was made to the department facili- ties by the establishment of a repair shop, and in the same year a new Holloway chemical engine was purchased. Chemical No. 3, North Main street, was purchased in 1896.
Following is a list of the chief engineers of the fire department since 1854 with the date of their appointment: 1854, Asa Eames; 1855-56, Jonathan E. Morrill; 1857, Chester W. Greene; 1858-59, Jonathan E. Morrill; 1860-69, Southard H. Miller; 1870-72, Thomas J. Borden ; 1873-74, Holder B. Durfee; 1875, Thomas Connell; 1876-82, William C. Davol; 1882-83, John A.

Before the year 1830 the town had a small wooden building on the north side of Pleasant street, west of Rock street, which was erected to accommodate the first hook and ladder truck. In 1833 the Pocasset Manufacturing Co. erected a brick building on the site of the present Pocasset block, which was opened January 13, 1834, by John Wilder as a hotel. The stone building on the corner of Pocasset and Second streets was then used as a livery stable in conjunction with the hotel, and an open space separated the hook and ladder house from this stone building. In the great fire of 1843 the hotel was one of the buildings destroyed, Moses Lawton being the landlard at the time. The stone building which was occupied as a wholesale produce store by N. B. Borden and William H. Hawkins, was also gutted by this fire, but the hook and ladder house escaped damage.

In 1830 the town of Troy had a small wooden engine house built for the accommodation of the Hydraulion No. 2. It was located in Stone lane, off Central street, and was built by George W. Gifford at a cost of $205.50.
In 1838 the town had a stone building erected on Pleasant street for the accommodation of fire apparatus. It was then known as the Fire- men's Hall, and later as the Niagara engine house. Southard H. Miller and James Ford were the building contractors. The engine house was sold by the city in 1877.
The Cataract engine house, on the corner of Rock and Franklin streets, was built for the town in 1843 by Southard H. Miller and James Ford. Paid for the building lot $362. Paid for building the engine house $976.37. The house and seven rods of land are now valued at $2,300.
The Cascade house, on South Main street, was built by the town of Tiverton in the early fifties. It became the property of the city of Fall River upon the annexation of that town March 1, 1862. The en- gine house and six rods of land are now valued at $4,000.
The Ocean engine house on Pearl street, which is now used by the city as a storehouse, was built in 1845. The house and 6.18 rods of land are now valued at $1,500.
The building on the northwest corner of North Main and Turner streets was built by the city in 1855, and the Torrent engine No. 2 was located there. The work was done by Earl & Miller, and cost 1, 429.02.
Before the city of Fall River purchased the present municipal court building in Court Square, it was occupied by Cranston Almy as a livery stable. The land and building were purchased by the city in 1857 for less than $5,000. The city made extensive alterations, the upper part of the building being fitted up for the use of the police department, and the lower floor at the west end used as the city stable, the east end serving as an engine house from 1858 to 1875.
Central engine house, Pocasset street, was built in 1870, and in 1896 a large addition was made to the structure. In 1870 the city built a small engine house on the northwest corner of South Main and Globe streets, where Volunteer Engine No. 2 was stationed. The Annawan engine house, South Main street, was built in 1874. The Pocasset en- gine house, on Pleasant street, was erected in the same year, and in 1895 an extension was added to accommodate a hook and ladder truck. The Quequechan engine house, on Prospect street, was built in 1875,

and the Massasoit house, on Freedom street, in 1874. The Niagara engine house, on Plymouth avenue, was erected in 1878. The new Cascade house was built in 1896-7, and two houses are now in process of erection, one in the eastern part of the town on Pleasant street, for Engine No. 9, and one in the south end, on South Main street, for En- gine No. 8 and Hose No. 9.
Street Railways .- The city of Fall River is supplied with a compre- hensive and well managed street railway system, besides its rapidly increasing connections with remote points, including Taunton, New Bedford and Newport, the latter road having just been put in opera- tion.
The Globe Street Railway Company was chartered April 16, 1880, with a capital of $100,000, and the following stockholders: Edward Herbert, Isaac P. Francis, Edward E. Mannersley, S. V. Bliffins, Seth H. Wetherbee, Foster H. Stafford, Mrs. B. Wixon, Franklin P. Osborn, Henry K. Braley, Marcus G. B. Swift, Cook Borden & Co., George F. Mellen, D. B. Wilson and Frank W. Brightman. The first meeting of the stockholders was held April 24, and the following officers chosen : President, Edward Herbert; treasurer, George F. Mellen; clerk, Mar- cus G. B. Swift; directors, Edward Herbert, F. H. Stafford, F. P. Os- born, S. V. Bliffins, George F. Mellen, Isaac P. Francis and James B. Hilliard.
Lines of road were at one constructed, the earlier ones extending from the City Hall north and south on Main street, and in Weaver and Pleasant streets. The company has pursued a liberal policy, to which the city authorities have responded with numerous franchises, resulting in extensions of the lines until the company now operates about thirty- one miles of road. This includes a few miles built by the Fall River Street Railway Company, a short-lived opposition, which was absorbed by the Globe in April, 1898.
The Fall River Electric Light Company .- This company was incorpo- rated in 1883 with capital stock of $40,000. The first officers and direc- tors were Weaver Osborn, president; H. T. Buffinton, clerk and treas- urer; Weaver Osborn, H. T. Buffinton, Edward Leigh, William B. Hosmer, W. H. Hathaway, directors. In the same year the Edison Electric Illuminating Company was formed with a capital stock of $100,000. This was the second company in the United States to install the Edison system. Its chief promoters were Albert F. Dow and Spencer Borden. The first officers and directors were Albert F. Dow,

president; Henry K. Braley, clerk; William H. Dwelly, jr., treasurer; A. F. Dow, Frank S. Stevens, Jerome C. Borden, W. S. Whitney, Spencer Borden, James P. Hilliard and William H. Dwelly, jr., direc- tors. On April 25, 1888, the plant of this company was burned, but was immediately rebuilt. These corporations continued to supply light and power as separate companies until July 1, 1896, when they were consolidated and the existing Fall River Electric Light Company formed. This organization, besides holding contracts with the city for lighting the streets and furnishing light for dwellings and business places, also supplies approximately 400 horse power for motors through- out the city. About 1,800 horse power is generated, operating sixteen arc dynamos, each of fifty light capacity, three alternating current machines, and fourteen direct current incandescent dynamos, with capa- city of 18,000 16 candle power lights. The present capitalization is $350,000.
