REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD.
December 31, 1919.
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Gentlemen :
In compliance with Chapter 494 of the Acts of 1913, the Planning Board herewith respectfully submits its annual re- port and recommendations for the year 1919.
The Board organized for the year by electing William F. Riley, Chairman, and David J. Kelley, Secretary, the other members of the Board being Harrison L. Evans, George J. Rauh and Paul R. Valentine.
In the course of the past year the Board has considered the following subjects, and makes recommendations as fol- lows :-
Fire Protection.
The Board again respectfully calls attention to the urgent necessity of establishing Fire Districts in our city. At the present time the construction of new buildings is practically at a stand still, and in' the opinion of the Board now is the opportune time to take action which will secure our citizens against danger from the presence of fire hazards. The es tablishment of Fire Districts has already been undertaken in our neighboring cities, and Somerville should not lag behind in this respect. This matter has been discussed by our city governments of the past several years, but no progress has been made.
Modern fire-fighting apparatus is being furnished as rapid. ly as possible, but Fire Districts are very necessary as a safe. guard to prevent the erection of more wooden buildings and to insure a better class of building construction when the old wooden buildings now standing in some of the public squares of our city have become obsolete. This Board, there- fore, recommends that Fire Districts be established, and some action taken during the coming year towards the fulfillment of this object.
Street Car Service.
In spite of agitation by all our citizens the street car, service still remains a serious problem. The crowded condi- tions existing during the rush hours on all the car lines still
340
ANNUAL REPORTS.
remains unchanged. In the opinion of the Planning Board Somerville is being discriminated against in the matter of fur- nishing sufficient cars, and also in the quality of the service rendered. The Board recommends that action be taken to se- cure better service and more car accommodations by appealing to the proper authorities without further delay.
Public Parks and Buildings.
The Planning Board recommends that our school buildings be made more accessible for neighborhood gatherings, so that our citizens may use them for social entertainments, which will help to develop community spirit and civic pride.
The Board also respectfully calls your attention to the . necessity of laying out the land now owned by the city be- tween Cedar Street and City Road, and known as "Richard Trum Playground" as a public park, to insure to the people in that section of our city a permanent playground and recrea- tion center for all time.
The Board again recommends that a playground be pro- vided on the land owned by the city known as the old City Ledge. This would be a great benefit to the Clarendon Hill section of our city, and would not be a very great expense to the city.
Somerville Bath House.
The necessity of making the only bathing place in Somer- ville a fit place for the people of our city to go to for pleasure and recreation is a duty which should be no longer neglected. The Board recommends that the bathing beach at Wellington Bridge be thoroughly cleaned for the coming season, and a remedy found for the muddy condition of the beach.
Bridge Street Widening.
As recommended in the reports of 1916, 1917 and 1918 the Planning Board again calls your attention to the importance of widening Bridge Street at the lower end of our city, and rec- ommends that this matter be discussed with our neighboring city of Cambridge at an early date. The old houses now standing are for the most part unoccupied, and in a dilapidated condition, and if taken at their present valuation for widening the street, would result in a great saving to both cities, and be a valuable and much needed public improvement.
341
PLANNING BOARD.
Housing Conditions.
In view of the abnormal conditions existing, due to the shortage of houses, the Board respectfully calls attention to the fact that it is authorized under the Act of the Legislature creat- ing it to "make careful studies of the resources and needs of the city, particularly with respect to conditions injurious to public health - in and about rented dwellings." It therefore recom- mends that all complaints of this nature from citizens be re- ferred to it for investigation and report.
Appropriation.
The Planning Board received Two hundred dollars for 1919, and was able to purchase some of the supplies needed, but did not use the whole of its appropriation because the amount allotted was insufficient to enable it to carry out the plans it has in view. It hopes to gradually procure sufficient equipment so that it will be in a position to furnish informa- tion to the city government, which will be of assistance in solv- ing the various municipal problems.
The Board has been promised office space, but nothing has been done, and at present the Board has no definite meeting place. This should be attended to without undue delay.
The Board respectfully requests an appropriation of Two hundred dollars this year, and also an office in the City Hall, where its records may be kept, and meetings held.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM F. RILEY, Chairman, HARRISON L. EVANS, PAUL R. VALENTINE, GEORGE J. RAUH, DAVID J. KELLEY, Secretary.

Again the sounding of false alarms and alarms for bonfires lead all other causes. The penalty, if imposed upon the secur- ing of conviction, should be a sufficient deterrent and warning to others from practicing this foolish crime. Such an alarm, calling out the apparatus unnecessarily, caused an expense of over $800 in repairs to one motor piece. Every citizen and tax- payer, who has to bear this expense, should give to the author. ities any and all information toward the apprehending and convicting this class of criminals.
The number of fires caused by the careless use of matches and children playing with matches has again increased during the past year. Almost annually I have urged upon the citizens to exercise greater care in the handling of matches: as for children being permitted to have access to matches. there is no excuse. Parents use extraordinary care in keeping away from the child the unusual dangers, whereas the familiar match is left lying about ; playing with which, the child, not infre- quently, is disfigured for life or burned to death.
Recommendations.
A full motorization of the department spells economy and efficiency ; it is true that the purchase price of motor ap- paratus has advanced rapidly in the past three years but there appears no prospect of a reduction but rather a further ad- vance. The expense of maintaining the horses, feeding and shoeing, has become almost prohibitive, it having advanced practically 50% to 75%. Furthermore, the National Board of Fire Underwriters are adopting a new method of classifica- tion and rating of cities and communities, - heretofore cities have been rated according to their efficiency and thereby classi- fied as A. B. C. D., etc., and the insurance assessed accordingly, whereas under the new plan, marked according to their deficien- cies, they will be numbered from 1 to 10, and in order that a city may be placed in one of the first three classes, the deficiency mark, as applied to the fire department, requires, at least, three- fourths of the department shall be motorized. At the present time eleven of the nineteen pieces of apparatus are motorized in our city.
