REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the


City of Somerville


Gentlemen:


I herewith respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Department for the year ending December 31, 1953:


INSPECTIONS OF WIRING IN BUILDINGS


The dangerous practice of installing additional outlets by means of cord wiring attached to woodwork and carried under rugs etc. is being consistently condemned and ordered cor- rected. In this work we have had splendid co-operation from the Fire Department.


Number of permits issued for electrical installations 2031


Permits issued to Boston Edison Company 1210


Total fees collected for permits and deposited with City Treasurer $2,314.50


FIRE ALARM SYSTEM


In accordance with the rules, all boxes are inspected and tested monthly and recorded at Central Office. We have in service 208 Fire Alarm Boxes. We again urge the installation of 10 additional boxes yearly in order to meet the estimated 300 requested by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.


We again urge action on our past recommendations as regards Public Alarm Bell Towers because of increasing haz- ardous conditions.


The adoption of previous recommendations as regards the need of an auxiliary power unit for use in case of power fail- ures would insure continuity of this vital service.

Some of these controllers are 20 years old and are now obsolete as regards obtaining new parts. A gradual replace- ment program is recommended.

Consistent daily inspection and maintenance of the meters. has resulted in greater efficiency of operation and more re- spect for their use by the general public.


I recommend the installation of 500 more parking meters; to assist our complex parking problems throughout the city.


SUPERVISION OF POLES AND WIRES


The same strict attention and inspection of the condition: of poles and wires has been given in conjunction with the Companies owning or using same. The Utility Companies con- cerned are now in the process of removing their wires and. poles from Somerville Avenue which should not only enhance:
