There are twenty-four tappers and gongs located as follows: one in Police Station, one in the office of the Superintendent of Public Works, one in Water Works' Barn and balance in residences of the members of the Department and factories where they are employed.
We have ninety-nine Street Fire Alarm boxes owned by the city and four Private Boxes owned as follows: one by the Interstate St. Railway Co., one by the Watson Company, one by the Bay State Optical Company and one by the A. B. Cummings Company.
The Fire Alarm Headquarters is in the Union Street Station and contains one twelve-circuit Storage Battery Switch Board, one twelve- circuit Protector Board, one ten-circuit Repeater together with 368 cells of Storage Battery and a one K. W. Motor Generator Set for charging same, also one six-circuit Storage Battery Switchboard and one six- circuit Protector Board, both of which are in storage, also one Excelsior Punch Register and Take-up Reel.
There is now in the system about ninety miles of wire. The follow- ing improvements have been made the past year, namely, three of the obsolete type boxes have been replaced with successive, positive, non- interfering type. One new box added to the system was placed at the corner of Mechanic and Hodges Streets. With the completion of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital, 17 Auxiliary Boxes inside the building and a Master Box on the outside, have been installed giving the Hospital 100% protection thereby, moving the former box to a new location at the junction of Emory and Park Streets. During the past year ar- rangements have been completed with considerable cost to the Telephone Company, for Fire Alarm use of their underground ducts on County Street to Capron Park and North Main Street to Simmons Crossing. The actual work of vacating ducts will be completed sometime in the following year which will necessitate an appropriation in 1928 for cable to place in all Fire Alarm Wires in the above named underground ducts thereby removing the liability of interruption to the service in the afore- said areas by wind and sleet storms. This will allow the removal of all the present poles on Wall Street.
I would recommend the following items for your consideration for the coming year: 6 Fire Alarm Boxes for replacements and additions; Plates
200
ANNUAL REPORT
for the storage battery must be replaced not later than the month of March, 1927.
I wish to thank the Board of Fire Engineers and members of the De- partment for their valuable assistance to this branch of the service during the post year.
Yours for efficient service,
JOSEPH H. NEWCOMB,
