REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The appropriation for fire department for the year 1894, was $43,000 ; the amount paid out was $48,091.13 ; amounts expended, over appropriation and credits, $4,961.74.
In the appropriation no provision was made for the new men and apparatus placed in active service during the year. The salaries of the new men alone amounted to $1,200.
The bills left over from 1893, in accordance with custom, were considerably more than $3,000, but it was thought best by the com- mittee, and His Honor, the Mayor, to pay all outstanding bills and leave the new committee, as far as possible, free from incumbrances.
A detailed statement of appropriations, receipts, and expenditures is submitted herewith.

TO THE COMMITTEE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT : -
Gentlemen : - I herewith present to you a report of the operations . of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1894.
The number of fire alarms during the year was one hundred and thirty-one, of which one hundred and eight were bell alarms and twenty-three were still alarms.
The total loss by fire was $79,144, and the amount of insurance covering property was $144,944.

OBITUARY.
During the year the department has lost one of its most faithful members, William A. Perry, who died of hemorrhage at Engine House No. 1, on November 1. He was driver of Engine No. 1, and had been a member of the department for ten years.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus in service consists of two steam fire engines, one chemical engine, four hose wagons, two ladder trucks, and one com- bination hose, chemical and ladder wagon. There are also one relief engine, one ladder truck, and two hose reels not in permanent service. Ladder Truck No. 2 and Chemical Engine A have been added to the equipment of the department during the past year, and companies organized to operate them.
BUILDINGS.
The new central fire station which has been erected during the past year at the junction of Medford street and Highland avenue, has been built in anticipation of all demands of the department which may be made for a number of years to come. On the first floor accommo- dations are furnished for a steam fire engine, hose wagon, chemical engine, fire-alarm wagon, and chief engineer's wagon, and there is also ample room for an aerial truck. This is a piece of apparatus which the city will soon require, as such apparatus is very valuable as a means of saving life, and a necessity in extinguishing fires in build- ings three or more stories in height. The second floor of the station is devoted to sleeping-rooms for the permanent men, a recreation room, office of the chief engineer, toilet rooms, hay loft, etc. The third floor is used exclusively for the apparatus connected with the fire- alarm system, and is divided into an ample and commodious battery room, a large room for the electrical machinery, and a well-appointed work room. The building, as a whole, is in every way equal to that owned by any city in the State, and one in which the citizens of Som- erville may ustly take pride.
503
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A new station has also been erected on Highland avenue, near Cedar street, for the accommodation of a ladder truck, which is now in service. This building is also designed to accommodate additional apparatus, which will soon be required for the western part of the city.
The other buildings of the department are in good condition, needing only ordinary repairs, with the exception of the wooden building on Webster street, occupied by Hose Company No. 1. This building, which was erected about 1865 for the accommodation of a hand hose carriage, has been in constant use, and though extensive repairs and improvements have been made upon it from time to time, it would require a considerable expenditure of money to put. it into proper condition. I would recommend that only such repairs as are absolutely necessary to keep it serviceable be made upon it, and that a new building be erected upon the land owned by the city on Broad- way, opposite Franklin street.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Under the provisions of Chapter ninety-five of the Acts of the Legislature of 1893, the Board of Aldermen, on the 28th of June, 1893, passed an order requesting the Civil Service Commissioners to include in the classified service all permanent members thereafter to be appointed in this department. Such request having been complied with, the appointments to the permanent force since the passage of said order, have been made under the Civil Service rules.
HYDRANTS.
I wish at this time to express my appreciation of the good work which has been done by the Water Board during the year, in the location of hydrants. Whereas, until recently, hydrants have been at considerable distance, one from another, the Board has endeavored to locate them at as frequent intervals as possible, and with an interven- ing distance, when possible, of not over three hundred feet. Obviously this makes a considerable saving in the length of hose required to reach a fire ; the pressure obtained is much stronger and the streams more effective.

In pursuance of authority conferred on this committee by an order dated July 11, 1894, contracts were made with Horatio Wellington & Company, and B. F. Wild & Company, for furnishing coal, and with the Baker-Hunnewell Company for furnishing wood until December 31, 1894, at the following prices :

and fuel has been purchased as authorized by said order. The com- mittee was especially fortunate in securing prices for coal; the price being $1.04 per ton less than was paid in the year 1893, while the price for wood was the same for both years.
STREET LIGHTS.
January 1, 1894, there were in the city three hundred and eighteen arc, and two hundred and ten incandescent electric lamps, and three oil lamps.
The three oil lamps, which are located on Boston avenue near the (32)
510
ANNUAL REPORTS.
Medford line, are on the extreme outskirts of the city, and are cared for by the Wheeler Reflector Company.
During the year it has been the policy of the committee to sub- stitute arc for incandescent lights as far as possible, one arc frequently being of much more service, and lighting much better than several in- candescents. During the year there have been added thirty arc lights and twenty-one incandescents, and twenty-three incandescents have been discontinued, making a total in the city, December 31, 1894, of three hundred and forty-eight arcs and two hundred and eight incandescents.
The committee has carefully considered the locations of lights so as to secure the best results, and the locations of many of them have been changed, so as to light as much as possible in every direction, and it is recommended that the trees on the highways be trimmed early in the Spring so that the best possible results may be obtained.
Following is a table showing the number of lamps in the city, the locations of the same being given in the report of the Superintendent of Electric Lines and Lights :

CITY OF SOMERVILLE.
OFFICE OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS, CITY HALL, January 1, 1895.
To HIS HONOR, THE MAYOR, AND THE CITY COUNCIL : -
Gentlemen, -I have the honor to submit my report relating to street lights for the year 1894.
There were in the city on January 1, 1894, five hundred and thirty- one street lamps. During the year thirty electric arcs and twenty- one incandescents have been added, and twenty-three incandescents discontinued, making the number in the city December 31, 1894, three oil lamps, three hundred and forty-eight electric arcs, and two hundred and eight incandescents. 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 con- tract made for five years from October 1, 1892, three thousand, eight hundred and twenty-eight 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 in- candescent 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 the present time the Electric Light Co. has but one man to patrol the entire city. This is an insufficient force, and I would again recommend that the company appoint an additional patrolman. It could be arranged that these two men should receive from police headquarters from time to time during the night, the locations of lamps
514
ANNUAL REPORTS.
not burning, as reported by police patrolmen, and by communicating these outs to the Electric Light Co. a better lighting service could be rendered the city.
An am-meter and also a volt-meter have been purchased, and tests in ascertaining the quantity of light have been made.
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 will 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 an iron extension belonging to the West End Street Railway Com- pany ; three suspended across the street, twenty upon wooden poles, and three hundred and seventeen upon arms.
