To the Honorable the City Council :-
GENTLEMEN, -- I have the honor to herewith submit the annual report of the department for the Inspection of Wires.
During the year the city has been furnished by the Somerville Electric Light Co. and the New England Telephone Co. with a large number of white arms which have been put at the top of poles, stencilled "City Wires " and the wires of the city placed thereon.
All of the fire alarm wires throughout the city and the larger part of the police wires have been placed above all other lines. It is intended by another fall to have all police wires on the top arm. The agreement of the various companies to place their wires on one and the same line of poles as far as practicable, has greatly reduced the number of poles in the city. Poles have been printed and stencilled by their owners.
A large number of dead wires have been removed. Many inferior round poles have been replaced by hard pine square poles. The above work has made a decided improvement in the appear- ance of the streets.
A number of houses have been inspected for electric light wiring, and the workmanship has been kept up to the standard at time of wiring.
FIRE ALARM AND POLICE.
During the year a bridge metallic telephone line has been constructed connecting all of the fire department houses, the

police station and city hall, thus giving a complete and direct communication between the different departments of the city.
It is necessary that a suitable place for a battery room be pro- vided, as the present one is even now crowded to its utmost capacity, thereby rendering it impossible to admit the new boxes needed. If it is the intention of the City Council to erect a central fire station on the Brastow schoolhouse lot, I would recom- mend that the battery room and fire alarm headquarters be placed there.
I would recommend an eight-circuit repeater and that a number of new boxes be placed in parts of the city at present unprotected. My reasons for recommending an eight-circuit repeater are these. The entire city is now covered by three circuits ; should there be a break in one of these circuits a third of the city is left unpro- tected. With an eight-circuit repeater the city could be so divided, and the boxes so arranged, that if one circuit is broken the box nearest the one desired can be used.
Owing to the large increase of electric wires through electric lighting, West End Railroad trolley system and numerous telephone and telegraph lines, the liability of broken wires and the danger thereby incurred to the public from the delay in reaching and repairing the breaks, are increased. I would therefore recom- mend that a wagon be procured for the carrying of tools and material necessary for repairing breaks, for general work on fire and police wires, and for dispatch in reaching places of accident. This wagon should be placed at the headquarters of the fire-alarm system.
I would suggest that a striker be put on Clarendon Hill, on the Lincoln School, perhaps, to notify the children of that part of the city of no school and also for general fire-alarm purposes. Also that one be placed at Winter Hill; the Congregational Church would be a good location.
For the police system, I would recommend the addition of three boxes, the shortening of circuits and the placing of the wires above all other lines throughout the city.
Respectfutly submitted,
LEIGHTON W. MANNING,
Supt. of Electric Lines.
