ANNUAL REPORTS.
REPORT OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT.
To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :
The annual report of the law department for the year ending December 31, 1921, is as follows :
A hearing was held before the district court of Somer- ville under chapter 31 of the General Laws on an appeal by a member of the fire department from his removal by the mayor and the board of aldermen. The hearing lasted several days. The removal was sustained by the court.
Two actions for personal injuries claimed to have been caused by an automobile in the water department were tried before a jury in the Middlesex superior court and verdicts were given for $214 and $9,000. A motion to set aside the larger verdict was filed in behalf of the city and is now pend- ing.
Two actions for personal injuries claimed to be due to a defect in a public way were tried before a jury in the Middlesex superior court and were disposed of without expense to the city.
In an action brought by a member of the fire department to test the validity of a regulation under the two-platoon law there was a hearing in the superior court and later the ques- tions of law involved were argued before the full bench of the supreme court. No decision has as yet been made.
With the inspector of milk I acted for the prosecution in the district court of Somerville of persons charged with violation of the milk laws.
Various claims for injuries due to defects in public ways were settled for sums ranging from $25. to $1500., the larger settlements having been authorized by orders passed by the board of aldermen.
I took part in hearings before committees of the legisla- ture on petitions relative to the widening of Bridge street in Cambridge. No legislation was passed on the subject. It seems to me that the matter could best be adjusted by some agreement between the city governments of the two cities and that the city of Somerville should not be called upon to make any direct contribution to the cost of such widening.
353
CITY SOLICITOR.
A hearing was held before the commissioners of public utilities on a petition of the mayor in regard to the rate of charges by the Cambridge Gas Light Company for gas fur- nished through twenty-five cent meters.
At the request of the mayor I made an examination of the laws relating to the Boston Elevated Railway Company and the West End Street Railway Company in order to de- termine the power of the city government to prevent the street railway company from causing its cars to remain standing at various places in the public streets as at a terminal. As a result an ordinance was drawn and was passed by the mayor and the board of aldermen. The street railway company, while denying the validity of the ordinance, filed a petition with the legislature for the purpose of taking away the power, if any, of the city government to pass such an ordinance. The petition was opposed at a hearing before a legislative com- mittee and was dismissed by the legislature. A partial ad- justment of the matter was made by the city government and the representatives of the street railway company.
A claim in favor of the city against the estate of a per- son who had been aided by the poor department was collected through the Orphans court, Cumberland, Md., the sum re- ceived being $400.
Very respectfully, FRANK W. KAAN, City Solicitor.

Horses.
There are but six horses left in the department, thirteen have been disposed of during the year owing to the motoriza- tion of the apparatus, five were transferred to the highway department and two to the sanitary division. The six horses attached to Station No. Six, having become too old for heavy service, were given to persons that would give them good homes and light farm work.
Hose.
The amount of serviceable hose is but 8,300 feet of two and one-half inch and 1,950 feet of three-quarter inch chemical. There has been but 1,000 feet of new two and one-half inch hose purchased whereas there has been 1,550 feet condemned.
359
CHIEF ENGINEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
There should be at least 12,000 feet of hose to be on the safe side, and as much as possible should be purchased, this year, to arrive at that amount.
Brief Resume.
For the first time, as far as the department records show, since Somerville became a city, a month, September, records no loss by fire. The burning of the Y. M. C. A. building practically doubled the fire loss for the year, the magnitude of this fire was due to the necessity of using the entire fire- fighting force to aid in rescuing the inmates on the two upper floors of the building, even then a fatality occurred in the death of Thomas A. Cargill, losing his life by being cut off in the corridor, on the upper floor, in his apparent effort to escape by the stairway.

False Alarms and Bonfires in the street totalled the in- credible number of sixty-six, 25% of the total bell alarms for the year. Both of these classes of alarms are unlawful and are punishable by both fine and imprisonment. Every year I have commented upon these criminal offenses and have urged that efforts be put forth to apprehend the responsible ones. Fur- thermore, the wear and tear upon the apparatus and the en- dangering, unnecessarily, the lives of the members of the de- partment should not be required. The record of the Chicago Fire Department, of this year, shows the killing of ten fire- men in responding to false alarms, our city is not immune from this possibility of manslaughter and every effort should be put forth to minimize this danger.
Carelessness With Matches and Children Playing With Matches have caused thirty-two alarms; Everything has been written and said, relative to this class of fires, to educate and warn the public of the need of exercising care and caution in the use of matches and more particularly safeguarding the children from this menace, still the Juggernaut rolls on crushing out the lives of helpless children. A match bill is to be presented to the legislature in 1922 urging the prohibition of the use of any but the scratch on the box match, I urge every public-spirited citizen to call upon his representative in the General Court to vote for this measure.
One of the Major Causes of Fires is the thawing of frozen water pipes, this cutting off of the water supply by Nature's shut-off is not uncommon in our community and therefore fires caused by improper means of remedying this inconvenience are all too frequent, either through ignorance or daring. an open flame, either by burning of paper or criminal use of a torch by the plumber, is frequently used, whereas hot water or cloths saturated with hot water are the most effective means and perfectly safe, water pipes are usually concealed, passing up . through the flooring, under closet and sinks where dust and webs collect, a most excellent kindling when an open flame is applied.
Recommendations.
As mentioned in previous reports, I recommend the re- placement of the present Engine No. 4 Station at the corner of Highland Avenue and Grove Street with a new and up-to-date
363
CHIEF ENGINEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
three door station for the housing of motor apparatus, every other station, in the city, is now fully motorized and this character of equipment is unquestionably most efficient and economical of operation, the continuation of horse-drawn ap- paratus at this important location should be given serious con- sideration inasmuch as the apparatus, at this station, covers one of the important commercial centers of the city and promptness in response, and efficiency may, at any time, be of vital importance.
The replacement of Hose No. 7 with an up-to-date double tank combination hose wagon should be given early considera- tion, this machine, located in the very center of the city, is called upon to do an unusual amount of service and should be one of the best, whereas it is but a single tank wagon with a body having a capacity for but six hundred feet of hose, this equipment, originally installed upon a touring car chassis, has been in continuous service since 1910, being the first piece of motor apparatus purchased, at an expense of but $4,500. it can no longer fulfill its required service and need, this machine, if replaced, could be tuned up and used for relief work in an emergency.
A new car, for the use of the chief, should be provided, the present one has been in continuous service for eleven. years and has now arrived at the condition where it is impracticable for use and safety.
In Conclusion.
In concluding my report I wish to state that I fully recog- nize the support and confidence accorded me, the past year, by His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen; I wish also to take this opportunity to thank the officers and mem- bers of the department for their faithfulness and efficiency.
Respectfully submitted,
