ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS


REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRIC LINES & LIGHTS


April 10. 1946


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the


Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Department of Electric Lines and Lights for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1945.


INSPECTION OF WIRING IN BUILDINGS


Installations of all new work and additions to existing systems have been rigidly inspected and tested throughout the year.


By re-inspection of old installations we constantly con- demned and discouraged amateur work, including the in- creasing tendency to use cord wiring tacked to door casings, baseboards, etc, and usually connected to unapproved fittings and appliances. Such abuse of wiring systems creates a life and fire hazard that in some cases required stern action to bring about correction of same.


An inspector responded to all fire alarms and water leaks when needed, as well as all multiple alarms day or night.
