ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Dog Officer
December 31, 1937 10 Morey Street Attleboro, Mass.
To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council:
I herewith submit to you my annual report as Dog Officer for the year 1937 .
During that period I have travelled 3373 miles as Dog Officer and have occupied 1087 hours in that pursuit. I have been called upon to destroy 106 dogs, owners unknown, within the city limits.
The City Clerk presented me with a list of 491 delinquent Dog Tax Payers, of these I found it necessary to prosecute 7 owners, who failed to comply with the Chapter relating to dogs.
There are at present 1432 Dog Licenses in the city exclusive of Kennel Licenses.
The appropriation of $800.00 during 1937 for this work proved inadequate and I had to work without either compensation or expense money from Sept. 1 to this date. In view of this I respectfully recommend that the appropriation for this work be increased by $100.00 for the year 1938.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter J. Cosgrove, Dog Officer.

FIRE LOSS
The fire loss during the year 1937 has been much greater than previous years, amounting to $101,619.01. The greater part of this loss was caused by the Charpentier Lumber Yard fire at the state line.
With an assessed valuation of $35,000.00 on buildings and contents, $83,383.62 was paid on partial loss. This was the one bad fire of the year.
IMPROVEMENTS
A new steel boat was presented to the Department by the Attleboro Rotary Club. This boat is now in commission and is ready at a minutes notice to answer in case of drowning accidents.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The heater now in use in the South Main Street Station is in very bad condi- tion and should be replaced.
We again recommend a new piece of apparatus for South Attleboro.
The apparatus now in use in Hebronville was bought in 1913 and must be replaced as soon as possible.
We also recommend 16 new fire alarm boxes as it has been a number of years since the City has purchased a new fire alarm box and there is a number of places in the City where they are badly needed.
We recommend the purchase of a portable lighting plant for night fires.
43
ANNUAL REPORT
We feel that an injustice has been done the Chief of the Department, also the Assistant Chief and Superintendent of Fire Alarm, and recommend their pay be restored.
The Fire Department is away undermanned especially South Attleboro and we again recommend the addition of 6 permanent men.

Tools, truck and equipment for the maintenance of the system are located in the building in the rear of the 'Fire Station.
41
ANNUAL REPORT
We wish at this time to call your attention to condition of the existing Fire Alarm System of the City of Attleboro and to compare it to those of other cities and towns of like size throughout the nation, the majority of whom have kept pace with the growth of their respective cities and towns. Many of them have taken advantage of Federal Funds and thru PWA and other government depart- ments have modernized and rebuilt their entire systems and brought them up to the highest point of possible efficiency.
The total number of 119 boxes in our system is not half enough to properly protect the very large area of the city. Many of these boxes are of the old obsolete type and should be replaced in the near future. I would now like to cite as an example, the action of hundreds of large industrial plants in the country who have found by actual experience that the installation of a sufficient number of fire alarm boxes in their systems has held their fire losses down to a minimum and greatly increased the efficiency of their fire departments. Several large plants in New England alone have more boxes in their system than the city of Attleboro.
The Fire Alarm Office, which is the heart of the whole system is located in the Union Street Fire Station which is by no means of a fire-proof or fire resisting building. This location of the office certainly does not comply with the require- ments of the laws governing the matter. The adopted practice of the country is to place the Fire Alarm Office in a fire-proof building entirely separate from any thing else thereby eliminating the danger of damage to the office and equipment by fire in surrounding structures.
The speed of our alarm system is timed very slow and now that many of our outside signals are no longer in use (these signals could not operate faster than 2} second time) it would be very good proceedure to increase our present time from 2} second to & second, this, being the fastest time that our repeater will successfully handle. With the system speeded up to a second time, it would then be possible for the department to receive an alarm of fire and be on its way to the location before the outside whistle would be sounded and aids the depart- ment in reaching the scene of fire before it has reached a large size.
Means of transmitting a box alarm of fire and special signals should be secured and installed, namely a Manual Transmitter. This is a very valuable instrument in the proper handling of alarms in a fire department. When a fire department operator receives an alarm of fire by telephone, he immediately sets up the number of the fire alarm box nearest the scene of fire and the call is then received by the various companies as a regular box alarm, thereby insuring the correct reception of the call by the firemen and eliminating the possibility of incorrect location which frequently happens on a telephone call.
The department is now handicapped by the lack of being able to communicate from the scene of a fire back to headquarters and at this time I recommend that consideration be given to the purchasing of a standard talking and loud speaking system which upon installation, would connect all engine houses and would make a communication station of every fire alarm box in our system. The advantages of this type of system are untold. When situations arise such as a fire in South Attle- boro or the Hebronville district all calls for help or other necessities have to be made thruthe Pawtucket telephone exchange, these calls are all made with an extra charge to the department. Attleboro has a very unusual set-up regarding tele- phone service. All calls made below Read Street have to be handled thru the Pawtucket Exchange and the same applies to parts of the Hebronville district. This is a great handicap to the department and means a great loss of time during emergencies. At the recent lumber-yard fire in South Attlebro, the need of the department having its own means of direct communication was brought to the front in more than one way. A fire alarm box is located directly opposite the scene of the fire and if the system described above had been in existence, two way communication would have been possible between headquarters and the fire.
45
ANNUAL REPORT
Most towns and cities have some means of designating the location of their fire alarm boxes during the night hours, usually of the use of colored lamps suspended on the fixture directly over the box. This is of great assistance to the public who may be called upon to turn in an alarm during the night, especially to those who may not be acquainted with the location of the nearest box in which the fire is discovered. We have had in past instances cases of citizens traveling two or three miles to sound an alarm at night and in so doing have gone right by other boxes nearer to the fire because of the lack of proper lights on the boxes. This method of marking boxes should be followed in this city.
In concluding the comparison of our system with that of other cities, it can very plainly be seen that our present system most certainly requires a com- plete overhauling, the construction of additional circuits and the purchase of modern equipment. During the past few years, all of our outside lines have been completely gone over, new wire and cable being installed and all weak spots eliminated. The present lines are therefore now in first class condition but the total number of circuits now in use are not numerous enough to properly operate the system. Even now, thru the good will of the telephone company, we are using three pairs of their conductors to carry necessary circuits between the Union Street Station and the Central Station. This being done because of our not having enough spare wires between the two stations. All of our boxes, sound and registering instruments are all connected on the one circuit in the area and to state otherwise, "All the eggs are being carried in one basket". If a circuit for some accidental reason goes bad, every thing connected thereon is out of service. The code by which our operations are governed demands that circuits be supplied to take care of the different types of instruments and boxes, namely, box circuits with nothing connected on them but boxes, fast and slow time circuits and circuits for voice communication.
Some action should be taken in the near future and steps taken to rebuild and expand our system because if this is not done the City of Attleboro will find itself in a position comparative to that of one of our neighboring Rhode Island cities where the same thing was allowed to exist and recently they were forced to expend an enormous sum of money to bring their signaling system up to date. The above are plain every day facts which have been found in all sections of the country.
In our budget request for the year 1938 we have asked for an appropriation in the sum of $6,613.10 to be applied to the following: purchase and installation of 18 new fire alarm boxes, the construction of the necessary lines to connect them, a ditch pump and for general maintenance of the system. The above all being itemized on the budget sheet.
During the past year of 1937 this department has been occupied with the usual routine work, such as storm damage, damage to poles from autos and trucks, renewing old line, transfers of boxes brought about by the ulitity companies erecting new poles and painting of our outside equipment. Considerable damage was done to our outside plant last year by the improper operation of motor vehicles. The city has not been remunerated in any case for damage done and I think some practical method of obtaining payment of damage done to its property should be worked out in the future. A new power winch has been installed on the maintenance truck and has proven a wonderful aid in many instances. The rectifiers and new type batteries installed a year ago are in excellent order and have proved to be very efficient in their operation. During this year we are planning to renew the wood battery rack shelves which are about 22 years old and from their general appearance have seen a better day. Because of the entire electrification of the South Attleboro Pumping Station and the loss of the use of their high pressure steam service our whistle location had to be abandoned. The whistle and control equipment have been dismantled and are now in storage in the rear of the Union Street Station. A 6-inch turtle gong has been installed in the Pumping Station to notify the engineer of an alarm of fire. A new private-

ANNUAL REPORT
ly owned Master Fire Alarm box, No. 452, was installed during the past year in the property of Mr. S. M. Stone on South Main Street. This box supervises the automatic sprinkler control in a group of three buildings, the J. E. Blake Building, the C. H. Eden Building and the Electric Chain Building.
In July, 1937, the city solicitor found that the present members of the Electrical Branch of the Fire Department were not under the same pension rights as the other members of the department. The reason for this was that in 1923 a law was passed placing the then members of this branch in name and not position under the same law as the other members of the department. In order to properly protect ourselves and families we were forced to join the contributary retirement fund thereby having a percentage of our wages deducted each week.
Regarding the matter of salary adjustments, I trust that some consideration may be given toward the placing of the Superintendent's salary back to the original sum of $2,190.00 per year as of previous record. As a matter of comparison in this line of work the regular ground man or 3rd class lineman receives as much and in some instances more money working for the telephone and light companies than the Superintendent in this department. In order to protect our families properly we have to be heavily insured and because of the nature of our wotk, we cannot obtain standard insurance, having to be placed in a special class and pay much higher rates.
In conclusion of my report for the year 1937, I trust that my analysis of the condition of the present fire alarm system will be accepted as written by me for the reason that conditions are exactly as enumerated above and should certainly be brought to light and steps taken to eliminate at least a few of the poorer conditions as cited. I wish at this time, to sincerely extend my thanks to the entire department, Board of Fire Engineers, officers and men for their co-operation and assistance to the Electrical Branch of the Department during the past year of 1937.
Respectfully submitted, William S. King, Superintendent Fire Alarm, Electrical Branch Fire Dept., Attleboro, Mass.
