FUEL.


Under an order dated July 26, authorizing this committee to make contracts with the Baker-Hunnewell Company, Horatio Wellington & Company, B. F. Wild & Company, and George M. Winslow & Company, for the furnishing of such fuel as might be required at the various school houses and public buildings to October 1, at the following prices :


FURNACE COAL.

STOVE COAL.


SOFT WOOD.


HARD WOOD.


$5.35

the fuel was furnished as authorized by said order and placed in the various school houses and public buildings. The price paid for coal during the year was fifteen cents a ton in advance of the con- tract price for 1892.


STREET LIGHTS.


The three oil lamps on Boston Avenue near the Medford line, which are cared for by the Wheeler Reflector Company, have been continued during the past year, at an expense of $39.45. The remainder of the city is lighted by electricty, under the contract made October 1, 1892, for five years, with the Somer- ville Electric Light Company. The price per year paid for the arc lights is $120.00 each and for the incandescent lights $25.00, burning every night and all night. The number of arc lights Jan. 1, 1893, was 276, and of incandescent lights, 222. During the year there have been added 42 arc lights and 14 incandescents, and 26 incandescent lights have been discontinued ; making a total of 318 arc lights in the city December 31, 1893, and 210 incan- descents.


The street lights were under the charge of Mr. Thomas R. Roulstone, inspector of buildings and superintendent of public.

buildings and lights, until May 24, when, in pursuance of a change made in the city ordinances, releiving the superintendent of public buildings of the care of the street lights, Mr. Leighton W. Man- ing was appointed Superintendent of electric lines and lights. This change has worked to good advantage, as the new superinten- dent gives all his time to the supervision of the lights and the poles and wires in the city. Much better service has been obtained, and already our streets show a decided improvement in the style and condition of the poles and wires therein.

IN COMMON COUNCIL, January 10, 1894.


CHARLES S. ROBERTSON, Clerk.


CITY OF SOMERVILLE.


OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS, CITY HALL, January 1, 1893.


To His Honor the Mayor and City Council :-


GENTLEMEN,-I have the honor to submit my report relating to street lights for the year 1893.


There were in the city, on January 1, 1893, 501 street lamps. During the year 42 electric arcs and 14 incandescents have been ad- ded, and 26 incandescents discontinued, making the number in the city During 31, 1893, 3 oil lamps, 318 electric arcs, and 210 incan- descents. Three of the arc lights are situated on city parks, one on Central Hill and two on Broadway.


The arc and incandescent lights are to burn, by terms of the contract made for five years from October 1, 1892, 3,828 hours in each year. A schedule of the time of lighting and extinguishing is given to the company each month by me.


A fine of six cents per hour for arc and one cent per hour for incandescent lights is imposed on the company for all lights out during the time they should be in service. The way of obtaining the outs is by the police patrolmen, the best way yet devised, as the police cover the whole city, and a report from them each morning comes as near being correct as any that can be obtained without great expense. At present the Electric Light Co. has but one man to patrol the entire city. On account of the increase of lights and time of burning, this is an insufficient force. I would therefore recommend that the Electric Light Company appoint an additional


528


ANNUAL REPORTS.


patrolman. I would also recommend the purchase of an am-meter and also a volt-meter for general tests in ascertaining the quantity of light.


In many places we are not getting the best results from our lamps on account of the trees which shade our streets. £ The only remedy for this will be a general trimming, which it is hoped can be done before the trees leaf out in the spring.


The electric arc lamps in streets are placed as follows : Four upon iron extensions which belong to the city, one (in Union Square) on iron extension belonging to West End Street Railway Company, three suspended across the street, twenty-two upon wooden poles and two hundred eighty-five upon arms.
