REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARM 1961


To the Board of Fire Engineers Fire Headquarters 100 Union Street Attleboro, Massachusetts


Dear Sirs:


I herewith submit my annual report of the Electrical Branch of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1961.


Service calls numbering 652 were made involving the various fire alarm service calls involved in regard factories, public buildings and other associated connections in conjunction with their connection to the Municipal Fire Alarm System. These calls cover alarms,repairs, periodic tests and test inspections made with the insurance engineers.


January 4th, a new private box #2811 was installed at the Hebronville Ware- house on Knight Avenue. This box is directly connected to the interior dry sys- tem on a total of three risers. The diaphone whistle was removed from the South Main Street Fire Station and installed on the roof of the new Union Street Station. Two new air storage tanks were purchased and set up on a cement mat in the rear of the station. The entire installation was accomplished by this department in- cluding all piping and the setting up of the air compressor.


August 11th, Box 6314 was removed from the nurses old Dormitory at Sturdy Hospital. This had to be done because the old building was in process of being de- molished. On August 19th, we purchased and installed an air compressor in the South Main Street Station for the purpose of inflating tires and use in the mechanic's repair shop.


On September 12th, Attleboro was in the path of a hurricane. Boxes #522- 544 and 5112 were burned out because of high voltage being imposed upon our line wires. Minor repairs were made at once to our outside equipment and the entire system was back in service in less than twenty-four hours.


September 23rd, two new private boxes were installed. One of them, Box #3116 at the Public Library on North Main Street. This box is directly connected to a very elaborate system of fire detection devices throughout the building. The second box #6231 was installed at the Thomae factory on Maynard Street and con- nected to their new sprinkler system.


We have had some trouble with our underground cable on upper North Main Street and October 17th, approximately 2, 000 feet of old lead covered cable was removed from the ducts and replaced with the same footage of new neoprene-cov- ered cable. October 18th, a new private box #2714 was installed at the Thompson Chemical Company and connected to the sprinkler system.


52.


Annual Report larm continuou


Report of the Superintenu


On October 25th, a very rare accident occurred in relation to Box #452 at the C. H. Eden property on South Main Street. An alarm came in from the box and upon arrival we found a roofing crew on the job. They had just completed renewing the protection on the roof and were in process of moving their tools and working apparatus to the ground and in so doing, a large crow bar accidently went out of control and in falling passed right through the top of the box thereby setting off the alarm.


November 2nd, two new boxes #2713 and 2715 were installed at the Thompson Chemical Plant and connected to the interior sprinkler system. This makes a total of five master fire alarm boxes in service at this plant. November 16th a fire alarm gong was installed in the residence of the Superintendent of Public Works on Benefit Street and Peck Avenue. Completion of installing the Diaphone Horn on the new sta- tion was made on November 28th. The Sturdy Memorial Hospital took over the house formerly occupied by the Tappan Estate for the purpose of using it for a dormitory for the student nurses and for class room uses. At this time, box #6314 which was formerly on the old dormitory, was installed in this location and connected to an in- terior fire detector system.


Much work was accomplished during the year on overhauling our outside lines and trimming trees and the outside plant placed in good working order.


RECOMMENDATIONS


I still maintain that the individual developers of new plats be required to pay for the cost of installing at least one fire alarm box in the new area at their expense. By the same token, they must bring the street level up to grade and insure the instal- lation of all utilities before these streets may be accepted. This is being done by many nearby communities in this area. I have recommended this installation for a number of years but no one in the position to make this mandatory has done anything about the situation. It has been the custom for years that the new owners of the homes present a request to the Mayor and Municipal Council that a box be installed in the new plat at the expense of the City of Attleboro.


This is the third year that I have requested a new line truck and a modern ladder for our use in maintaining the overhead and other outside portions of our system. The ladder was one of the first ones of its type in New England to be placed in service and is now in a very unsafe condition. I don't relish the idea of being responsible for the welfare of the men who have to make use of it. Be- cause of the trend in the new construction of line work on the jointly owned poles, the boom with a work bucket has become more practical than the present type of aerial ladder now in use. Our ladder was purchased in 1934 and the truck in 1947. They have both seen their best years of safe service.


53.


Report of the Superintendem vi fire Alarm continued-


The station wagon now in use by the Assistant Electrician was purchased in 1957 and has reached the maximum of its durability and I suggest that it be replaced for more efficient operation and in the lines of economy. I find by talking to various automobile dealers that it will be necessary to appropriate the sum of $2, 500. 00.


We have underground cable throughout the center of the city which was instal- led in 1925 and is now giving trouble. I have brought this fact to the attention of the Mayor and Municipal Council each year at budget time and nothing is ever accom- plished toward renewing this cable. If this condition is allowed to exist, the entire system will be rendered useless. I have suggested many times that a program be started whereby each year a sum of perhaps $2, 000. 00 be made available for the renewal of small sections of cable. This would accomplish the job but would not affect the yearly budget. If, in the near future something is not done to relieve this situation, the cost will go into six figures or more. This has happened to many cities throughout the nation and then the telephone takes over at more cost and less reliabil- ity. This is important, gentlemen and I trust that you may render some assistance in getting the program in effect.


In conclusion, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to His Honor, the Mayor, the Board of Fire Engineers and every city department who in any manner contri- buted their assistance to us in the operation of this branch of the Fire Department.


Respectfully submitted,


William S. King, Sr. , Superintendent Fire Alarm Electrical Branch Fire Department

During the year 1961, many swimming pools were installed within the City limits. In most instances, electric lighting was installed by qualified electricians and appliance receptacles were installed in the immediate vicinity of the aprons of the pools. This work was done in compliance with the requirements of the wiring codes in affect.


In spite of the good work done by the electricians, many owners and users of the pools have created many life hazards by connecting and using old and unfit appliances, radios, T. V. Sets and other electricial equipment adjacent to the pools. All receptacles installed in the vicinity of swim pools must be of a type made for the purpose containing a grounding electrode and all electrical devices used must be fed via a three-wire heavy duty cord. Through statistics made available by the insurance underwriters, our attention is called to the many fatalities and serious accidents caused throughout the nation by misuse of elec- trical devices in the vicinity of swim-pools. The subject has become so serious that the City of New York has drawn up an ordinance prohibiting the use of any electrical equipment that draws more than 12 volts in the vicinity of swimming pools or fountains.


55.


Annual Report


Report of the Inspector of Wires continued-


Since there have been fatalities resulting from improper use of electricity in the vicinity of swimming pools, a word of caution is in order to the citizens of Attleboro.


One of the most troublesome conditions that this department is called upon is the use of temporary extention cords both in homes and factories. The use of these cords is brought about by the lack of a sufficient number of properly installed receptacles. The only remedy to this trouble is to have a licensed electrician install proper outlets as required. It is required that no appliance cords of over six feet in length should be used.


We have experienced considerable difficulty during the past year with con- tractors who install aluminum siding on the outside of residences. This is mainly due to the fact that the contractors remove meters, conduits and electrical sup- ports and do not replace them properly. An electrician must be employed by the contractor to remove and replace any thing electrical that may be in the aluminum contractor's way.


A word of caution in regard proper fusing of branch circuits. When an elec- trician completes a service job, he leaves with the proper size fuses installed. In many instances, we find that the owner removes these fuses and replaces them with heavy duty fuses that afford no protection to the wiring system. When an in- stance of this type occurs, it is a positive indication that the appliance or device draws toomuch current for the size of the conductor feeding the receptacle. An electrician should be called for the purpose of correcting the trouble.


At this time, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to His Honor, the Mayor, the Municipal Council, the Building Inspector, members of the Fire and Police Departments and all who in any manner contributed their assistance toward the operation of this department during 1961.

In the year 1961, we received more applications for aid than the previous year. This was due mostly to the increase in age of the veterans and their de- pendent parents. Many that applied were not eligible to receive aid from this Department.


After investigation we did give assistance to 340 veterans or their depen- dents, mostly of a temporary nature.


During the year we had three persons in Nursing Homes.


As of December 31, 1961 we had 68 permanent cases on our books.

REPORT OF VETERANS REHABILITATION AND REEMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE 1961


To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the Municipal Council:


The Servicemen's Rehabilitation and Reemployment Center is of great value to veterans and their families, Many seek information and need assistance when filing pension applications.


The director has transported many veterans' widows to Providence, Rhode Island to have pensions adjusted, and many veterans to the various hospitals both in the Providence and Boston areas.


Many veterans have also been assisted in securing On-the-Job Training bene- fits with various business establishments throughout the city.


When discharged the veteran reports to this office to have either or both his separation and discharge papers recorded. These photo-copies are kept on file in this office permanently. They are also available to the veteran upon request, when needed to accompany applications for Veterans Benefits.


There are approximately 350 Attleboro men and women in the service, Their records are on file and kept up to date in this office.


Some 250 service men and women received money order checks from the Boys' in.Service Christmas Fund, therefore all cards, envelopes, and money orders were typed and filed here.


This department also has 44 veterans' administration forms, including such benefits as -- veterans' pensions, widows' pensions, disability compensations. Assistance is given to all veterans, wives, widows, and dependent parents.


The Service Center appreciates the cooperation of the executives and doctors of the various Veterans Hospitals and the local doctors, who throughout the year, so capably assisted this office in many ways. Also, Mr. Blandin and the city clerks for their assistance in supplying Birth and Death Records, Marriage Certificates etc.


Respectfully submitted,


Joseph A. McGee Director.
