Ambulance Service.


The public or police ambulance, as it is called, is becoming an expensive attachment to this department, and its use should be restricted to emergency service, instead of moving persons from house to house at the request of the medical fraternity, as is now the practice.


This year the ambulance has been called into service two hundred and fifty-nine times.


Recommendations.


I respectfully recommend that two sergeants of police be promoted and appointed lieutenants, with a fixed salary of one hundred and fifty dollars each per year more than the amount paid to the sergeants, and that the vacancies thus caused in the rank of sergeants be filled by promoting two patrolmen.


I also recommend that the reserve police, which now con- sists of eight men, be increased to ten men, the maximum num- ber allowed by law.


Also a change in the style of the police badge; the present badges of the police patrolmen are quite antique, and a modern style representing something besides numbers would look better, and be in keeping with the times.


Police Pensions.


The act which was accepted by the Board of Aldermen, and approved by Mayor Glines, this year, authorizing retiring and pensioning certain police officers, I believe should be at once put into execution, so that young, sound and capable men would fill the vacancies caused by such persons being pensioned off, and the standard of the department would be kept up without increas- ing the number, at much less expense than to keep such persons upon full pay virtually doing nothing, and I recommend your im- mediate consideration of this subject.

CHIEF OF POLICE.


In General.


The enforcement of the curfew ordinance, so-called, has had a fair trial this year, and I think, with the help of the parents of children, more can be accomplished next year by the police. I can say, however, no complaint has come to me of any neglect of the officers enforcing the ordinance.


For several years a few men have been selected from the de- partment by me, and assigned to special emergency work in criminal cases, wherein the wearing of a police uniform would prevent them from accomplishing their purpose; therefore, such men are allowed to go about wearing the ordinary citizen's clothing while performing such work. The time is not far dis- tant when such officers should receive a rank, and also receive more pay than a patrolman. A full account of the good work accomplished by such officers would be too cumbersome for this report.


To the Honorable Mayor, Edward Glines, the Board of Al- dermen and to the several heads of the departments of the city, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for their support, and the universal aid given me and the members of this department dur- ing the past year.


The officers next to me and the patrolmen have this year, with few exceptions, all performed their duties satisfactorily, and I extend to them my sincere thanks.


The following is a list of the present members of the depart- ment :-

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.


OFFICE OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, (. 42 Sargent Ave., Somerville, Jan. 3, 1902. 1


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


The following report of the Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31, 1901, is respectfully sub- mitted :-


Section 12 of Chapter 65 of the Public Statutes provides that the Sealer of Weights and Measures shall annually give public notice, by advertisement or by posting notices in one or more public places, to all inhabitants or persons having usual places of business therein, who use weights, measures, or balances, for the purpose of selling any goods, wares, merchandise, or other commodities, or for public weighing, to bring in their weights, measures and balances to be adjusted and sealed.


Section 23 of the same chapter provides that in cities and towns where a salary is paid to the sealer, no fees shall be charged for such service when the articles to be sealed are brought to the office of the sealer.


In compliance with the foregoing section, the customary no- tice was given through the local papers in March.


During the year the Sealer visited all places in the city where goods were bought or sold, and tested and sealed all scales, weights and measures which were found correct, and condemned all found beyond repair and useless. One hundred and eighty- seven scales, weights and measures were adjusted before sealing ; seventeen scales were tagged for repairs, eight of which were re- paired as ordered, and the remaining nine were destroyed and put out of use.


The schedule of fees for work done outside of the office is as follows :-


Platform balances of 5,000 pounds capacity and upwards, each $1 00


Platform balances of less than 5,000 pounds capacity, each 50


All other scales, each 03

REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.


SOMERVILLE, February 7, 1902.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


Gentlemen,-The following is my report as City Solicitor for the year 1901 :-


Under special acts of the legislature passed in 1898 and 1900, all the remaining land intended to be included in the pro- posed park on Prospect Hill, amounting to about one and three- tenths acres, was taken by right of eminent domain. By the acts above mentioned, betterment assessments must be made be- fore January 1, 1905, so it is desirable that the work of construc- tion shall be completed before that date. A special act of the legislature was secured giving authority to acquire additional land for almshouse purposes, and under the act three parcels of land were taken at the corner of Broadway and North Street. An act was passed by the legislature directing the metropolitan park commission to construct a bridge across the Mystic River, near the present Middlesex Avenue bridge, for the joint use of highways and boulevards, the cost to be paid by cities and towns in Middlesex County specially benefited, and by the met- ropolitan park district in such proportions as shall hereafter be determined by a special commission. Provision is made in the act for the location of street railways over the new bridge. An agreement was entered into by the city and the trustees of Tufts College for the establishment of a playground for a period of ten years on land belonging to the college on Broadway.


By an agreement made with the Boston & Maine Railroad, certain valuable rights of drainage east of Middlesex Avenue were secured to the city, concerning which litigation had been pending for several years. Rights of drainage were given the city by the Boston & Maine Railroad and the Boston & Lowell Railroad Corporation within their location extending from Wil- low Avenue to Holland Street.


After a controversy of many years' standing, a method of granting locations for poles in the streets was agreed upon by the city and the telephone company, whereby the interests of the public in relation to such franchises, so-called, are protected to a greater degree than by the general law.


There has been less than the usual expense on account of claims arising out of highway accidents.


Very respectfully,


FRANK W. KAAN, City Solicitor.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


Of the births registered, 1,359 were reported by physicians and midwives. Of this number, 1,046 were verified by the can- vassers, who also brought in 573 in addition, many of which were reported by physicians after the work of the canvassers had begun. Sixty-three births in other cities and towns were in- cluded in the reports of the canvassers.


The law does not require it, but it is the practice to have the canvassers inquire for all births which have occurred during the preceding calendar year, whether in Somerville or elsewhere. In this way records are obtained of more or less births which, owing to failure on the part of parents and physicians to make the requisite returns, are not recorded in the places where the births occurred.


The records of births, for various reasons, are never com- plete, although every effort is made by this department to secure the necessary returns. One cause is the carelessness or indiffer- ence of parents. The canvassers, on their annual visits, inquire very distinctly if a child has been born in the family during the preceding year, but many times the answer is in the negative, when the contrary is the fact. The canvassers discover some of these errors, either by further questioning, or from the presence of children evidently less than a year old, but no doubt in some of such instances the record is not obtained. There are other cases where people will not respond to the doorbell, even when the canvasser calls several times. In after, years, when a certificate of a birth record is very necessary, some of these parents may think it strange that the births of their children are not recorded.


Parents should not wait for the call of the canvasser, but should, immediately after a birth, report it to the City Clerk, or be sure that this is done by the attending physician. Blanks may be procured of the City Clerk.


The law requires physicians and midwives to report to the City Clerk every birth which they attend, on or before the fifth day of the month next following. It also requires parents, within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder, within forty days after a birth in his house, to cause notice thereof to be given to the City Clerk. A penalty is provided for neglecting to give such notice.
