The total expense for unkeep on this auto to December 31, 1912, covering a period of 241 days and a mileage of 2,653, has been for gasoline, $56.19; for oils, $7.14; for repairs. $17.38, a total of $80.71. During the same period of time the expense of maintenance of a horse and buggy for the use of the assistant chief has been for feed, $125.09; for shoeing,

$26.40; for repairs, $41; a total of $192.49. A net saving in favor of the auto of $111.78.


Owing to the accident to the horses attached to Hose No. 5, as previously mentioned in this report, a very necessary and favorably located piece of apparatus was deprived of its motive power. In order to meet this emergency, it was suggested to motorize Chemical "A," thereby making available two horses for the equipment of Hose No. 5.


Through the energy, mechanical ingenuity, and ability of the officers and men connected with the Central station, the motorizing of Chemical "A" was accomplished, and that at the very small expense of $675. This machine was placed in ser- vice July 3 and has proven its competency and efficiency far beyond expectations.


Recommendations.


Some immediate action must be taken to properly equip the Union-square station with ladder facilities, as the present truck must be condemned. or repaired for relief purposes ; therefore, I recommend for this station a 75-foot motor-driven aerial truck.


There are, at present, in the department equipment three double tank horse drawn combination wagons that can be easily and effectively motorized and I recommend the immediate purchase of three chasses to rebuild these wagons and thereby release a number of horses which are much needed for such apparatus as must remain horse drawn for some time to come.


I recommend a motor-combination for the Hose No. 5 sta- tion ; the present piece is antiquated, too heavy, requiring three horses to move it, and, therefore, expensive to maintain.


I recommend a motor-driven ladder truck for the Claren- don Hill section. The present ladder service for this district is too long delayed, being more than a mile away. The rapid growth of this section, particularly of the three-storied con- struction, calls for prompt ladder service, if life and property are to be properly conserved.


I recommend the equipment of at least two of the steam fire engines with tractors, thereby being able to place one of our present engines (Engine No. 2), which is not equal to the continued service required of it, on the relief list.


I recommend the installation of a quick-time fire alarm system. This is necessary, with the adoption of motor appara- tus, to learn quickly the location of the box, in order to make a quick get-away, added to the increased speed, means a quick stream brought to bear early upon the fire, which may mean the difference between a small blaze and a conflagration.


Many fires are preventable, and to that end a complete system of inspections should be made possible ; and, therefore,


442


ANNUAL REPORTS.


I recommend the enactment of an ordinance giving to the fire department authority to order whatever changes must be made to lessen the fire hazard.


Conclusion.


No words of mine are necessary to emphasize the remark- able record of successful fire-fighting, but I owe it to the officers and men under my command to commend them for the skill with which they have done their work. The citizens have many times during the year manifested their appreciation of the services of the department.


In closing, I wish to express to the officers and members of the department, my sincere appreciation of their willingness, promptness, and faithfulness to the arduous and many times exhaustive duties they are called upon to perform. I also wish to express my thanks to his honor, the mayor, and the board of aldermen, who have contributed to the success of the department by their co-operation and confidence.


Respectfully submitted, SEWALL M. RICH, Chief Engineer.

CHIEF OF POLICE.


Performance of Duties.


During the past year the members of this department were called upon to perform a large amount of extra duty.


The strike among the employees of the Boston Elevated Railway started on Friday, June 7, and continued for over a month before being officially declared off. All of the officers performed their duties in a highly creditable manner during this trying time, and owing to their efficiency the City of Somerville looked after the strikers and thereby prevented much trouble and destruction of property. This strike brought out traits of courage on the part of certain members of the department which tended to increase my admiration for them.


In addition to regular patrol duty, officers have been detailed for duty at the public library, ambulance service, Somerville Beach, the several parks, elections, watching fire alarm boxes, baseball and football games, traffic duty at Broad- way and Walnut street, also Walnut and Bow streets on Sundays and holidays, and plain clothes duty of various sorts in several instances.


Mounted Officer Robert D. Dewar was severely injured on September 21, 1912, by being thrown from his horse, and was incapacitated for duty during the remainder of the year.


On September 27, 1912, two sergeants and twenty patrol- men were detailed for duty at Malden to assist the police there when the City of Malden had as its guest the President of the United States, William H. Taft.


Additions to the Force, Improvements, New Equipment, etc.


One patrolman was promoted to the rank of inspector, four reserve officers were promoted to patrolmen, making sixty-three regular patrolmen in all, four additional reserve officers were appointed during the year.


A new Indian motorcycle was purchased in June, and a new horse was purchased in December, the old horse, "Sam," formerly used for a number of years by the former chief engineer of the fire department, and which was in use in this department for the past year, was sent to a farm in Maine to be cared for during the remainder of his life.


The old police signal system is being replaced by the new Gamewell system, and when completed will be a valuable im- provement to the service.


The horse-drawn vehicles, ambulance, patrol wagon, van, and pung were repaired, re-painted, etc., and are in good condition.


Recommendations.


The cells in the lock-up are in a deplorable condition, and measures should be taken at once to replace them with modern steel ones.


452


1


ANNUAL REPORTS.


The vault in the basement of the police building should be completed so that it could be used for the storage of valuable books, records, etc. Other improvements are needed in the police building.


An automobile touring car, capable of seating six or seven persons, for use in answering calls, investigating cases, and other purposes, would prove to be of much value, and is much needed.


Another combination automobile ambulance and patrol would do away with the seeming necessity of a sub-station at West Somerville.


Measures should be taken to provide for an additional night sergeant and a day sergeant, either by retirement of older sergeants or increasing the present number. A clerk and stenographer in the office of the chief of police would be of much value in attending to the large amount of clerical work, which is steadily increasing.


I would recommend that the ordinances be changed so that inspectors shall rank above sergeants.


One or more patrol drivers and chauffeurs should be added to the present number so that there could be two men on duty at night and the present hours shortened.


Conclusion.


I sincerely express my appreciation to his honor, Mayor Charles A. Burns, for his courtesy, advice, and consideration in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the police department, to the members of the board of aldermen, members of the public safety committee, police court officials, and heads of other departments for their support and assistance; to all members of the police department for their fidelity, and to all others who have aided this department by their co-operation.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES A. KENDALL,


Chief of Police.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.


OFFICE OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, City Hall Annex, Somerville, January 1, 1913. To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


The following report of the sealer of weights and measures for the year 1912 is respectfully submitted :-


Section 21, chapter 62, of the Revised Laws provides that sealers of weights and measures shall annually give public notice by advertisement, or by posting, in one or more public places in their respective cities and towns, notices to all in- habitants or persons having usual places of business therein who use weights, measures or balances for the purpose of selling goods, wares, merchandise, or other commodities or for public weighing to bring in their weights, measures and balances to be adjusted and sealed. Such sealers shall attend in one or more convenient places, and shall adjust, seal and record all weights, measures and balances so brought in.


Section 34 of the same chapter provides that each sealer of weights and measures, including the county treasurers, shall receive a fee of one dollar for sealing each platform balance if weighing five thousand pounds or more, and fifty cents if weighing less than that amount, and three cents each for sealing all other weights, measures, scales, beams or balances. He shall also have a reasonable compensation for all necessary repairs, alterations and adjustments made by him.


Where weights, measures and balances are sealed as provided in Section 21 (that is, brought to the office), no fee is charged for sealing.


In compliance with the foregoing Section 21, the customary notice was given by advertising in the Somerville Journal and the Somerville Reporter in March, 1912.


During the year the sealer visited all places in the city where goods were bought or sold, tested all scales, weights and measures, sealed those which were found correct, and condemned all found beyond repair and useless.


Ninety-two scales, weights and measures were adjusted before sealing, twenty scales were tagged for repairs, five of which were repaired as ordered, and the remaining fifteen put out of use.
