Your board recommend that the suggestions with re- gard to changes in the present Engine House be made and completed as early as practicable the coming Spring. For particulars in this department, we refer you to the annexed report of the Chief Engineer.
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN, -In compliance with the usual' custom, I submit the Annual Report of the Board of Engineers of the Fire Department for the past year, with a few recom-
9
mendations for necessary improvements for the accom- modation of the Department, which are much needed.
Since our last Report, the Department has been called out thirty-one times, eight of which were fires in town, nine alarms, five of which were false, fourteen for fires out of town. The Department have rendered assistance in Cambridge four times, and have rendered assistance in Charlestown three times, and have received assistance from Charlestown twice. It will be seen that we have had two more alarms, and four less fires than last year, with a loss much lighter; we having lost but one Church, the Universalist, which was burned on the 21st of Jan- uary, one of the worst nights last winter. Had it not been for that, our loss would have been very small, con- sidering that our buildings are nearly all built of wood, and the scarcity of water in many places. We would call the attention of the citizens to the practice of putting hot ashes in wooden vessels, thereby endangering their neighbor's property as well as that of their own, as many fires are traced to this cause.
WATER.
Since our last Report, the supply of this much needed article has been increased in some parts of the Town, but much more is needed, as there are a great many places where it would still be impossible to obtain a supply in case of fire. There have been twenty Hydrants placed along the line of the Mystic water pipes the past year, and two supply pipes connected with two Reservoirs, thereby making them a great deal more valuable in case of fire, and the Board recommend that supply pipes be laid in all the Reservoirs, as the expense would be small and the advantage great.
There are at the present time forty-seven Hydrants,
10
and eight Reservoirs in town, yet we seem to be poorly supplied. The practice of putting in four inch pipes is very injurious, as it is impossible to get a good hydrant stream from them.
ALARM.
The Engineers would again call your attention to the mode of ringing the alarm bell on the Town Hall for school purposes. It is almost impossible to distinguish the ringing of it for school, from an alarm of fire, and it may cause a great delay in case of fire in that locality. The Telegraph alarm would prove a great advantage to a town scattered over so much territory.
We would recommend the removal of the Lock-up from that part of the building it now occupies, and placing the Hook and Ladder Truck in that part of the building, in order that it may be made more efficient, as it is impossible to get a company to take charge of it in the present location, and also of furnishing suitable rooms in the second story of the building, for the per- manent men, and they would also recommend the erec- tion of a tower connected with the building, so that all the Hose of the Department can be taken care of at one place, as it has proved of great advantage in Charlestown and other places, thereby making a great saving both in Hose and expense.
We would recommend the purchase of five hundred feet of new Hose this year.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
DAVID A. SANBORN, JR.,
Chief Engineer Somerville Fire Department.
11 POLICE AND WATCH.
As the population increases, we may reasonably expect an increase of crime. Our records show a larger number of arrests than last year, but they are mostly for trivial offences.
The night watch has proved a very beneficial part of the police department, and resulted in preventing numer- ous disturbances, and adding to the quiet and safety of the thickly settled places where they have been stationed.
The appropriation in this department, will need to be increased the coming year.
The number of arrests and their classification, and for other particulars, we refer you to the annexed report of the Secretary of this department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Somerville :
The following is submitted as the Annual Report of the Police Department, for the year ending December 31, 1868.
Whole number of arrests, two hundred and twelve, being seventy-five more than last year, and one hundred and forty more than 1866.

On the 28th of November, two Petitions to the Legis- lature were laid before your Board by counsel for the Petitioners, and asked us to waive notice in behalf of the town, but your Board, after considering the subject, refused to grant their request. The subject of dividing this town does not, to our view, admit of a single argu- ment in favor of the project, and we felt it our duty to remonstrate against any and all Petitions which may be presented to the Legislature on this subject - your Board voted that a census of the population should be taken, and the result shows a total of twelve thousand five hundred and thirty-five inhabitants. And the number of children under fifteen years of age, to be three thou- sand nine hundred and thirty-eight. The total number of Houses, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three, showing a large increase the past year.
Such rapid increase of population as this census shows, and such a financial record as the Report of the Treasurer gives us, must certainly be most encouraging to all good citizens. Such prosperity has few parallels in the Com- monwealth, and we trust and believe that no private schemes or sectional ideas of change of boundary, will be permitted to check us in the proud and prosperous condition in which we now stand.
