TOWN REPORT
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Engineers' Report.
To the Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- Another year has passed and the town :
has escaped serious fires.
The number of alarms has been very few, averaging less than one a month.
Ten for the year Jan. 1, 1912 to Jan. 1, 1913, with a total loss of less than $7500.00.
Jan. 9 .- Alarm at 5.45 a. m. tenement house on Green street owned by Minnie F. Welch of Haverhill; occupied by Angus Joudry. Roof burned off, damage inside smoke and water. Loss on building $450, insured; contents $150, no insurance.
Feb. 22 .- Alarm at 8 o'clock, chimney fire. House occupied by John W. Currier at the Port.
March 30 .- False alarm at 1.15 p. m.
April 7 .- Brush fire rear of Edward Morse house at Bear Hill.
May 15 .- Alarm at 3.30 p. m.,slight blaze on roof of G. G. Davis barn.
May 18 .- False alarm inadvertently rung in by mem- bers of department while in battery room; and the town to be reimbursed for expense of same ($7.50) on first of May next.
June 13 .- Alarm at 2 p. m., for fire at the house of Orrin Burke at Bear Hill. Roof destroyed. Damage to building $400, insured; contents $50, insured.
July 12 .- Alarm from box 12 at 9.10 p. m., for fire in store of Frank Piquette on School street. Building owned
44
TOWN REPORT
by Provident Institution for Savings of Amesbury. Loss on building, $518.20, insured; loss on contents $1002.27, insured.
Aug. 5 .- Alarm at 2.50 a. m., for fire in foundry of P. L. Lowry, corner of Main St. and Birch Meadow road. This was a light frame structure and was practically des- troyed before the department arrived. The loss on the building and contents was inventoried by Mr. Lowry to be about $4300, protected by a policy of $4200. The mat- ter of insurance, however, has not been satisfactorily settled and remains unpaid.
Aug. 22 .- Alarm at 10.20 p. m., for fire in building on School street, occupied by Louis Kaplan. The fire was discovered before it had attained much headway and ex- tinguished without much fire damage, principle loss be- ing smoke and water. Loss to building $300, insured ; contents $75, insured.
This fire and that of July 12 was attended by very suspicious cirtumstances, so that the engineers asked the district police for an investigation on each occasion. These investigations were conducted by State Officer Flynn. The result of the first, was a verdict of unknown origin, possibly rats and matches. On the second case the discovery of quantities of oil soaked rags partially burned, in the passage where the fire started, showed this was undoubt- edly of incendiary origin. In view of these circumstances, Mr. Flynn reopened the previous case and discovered fur- ther evidence which he felt justified in changing that finding to one of incendiarism. While this fact seems clearly established, nothing in the investigation or ex- amination by Mr. Flynn, which was very thorough, con- nected the owner or tenants in any way with the case. We understand this finding was forwarded to headquar- ters with a request for an inquest, but none has been held. .
During the past year we have added to our equip- ment two Underwriters extinguishers. We have also re-
45
-
TOWN REPORT
painted the Central Station which, with some much need- ed repairs at the Port Station, has used the small surplus of our appropriation remaining over actual running ex- penses. With these extras, we have been unable to pur- chase new hose and we believe an appropriation of $100 should be made for this purpose the ensuing year, as hose we must have and much of that on hand is too old to be safe.
We believe careful study of our financial report will convince all that we have purchased only what was neces- sary, and we request that the appropriation be made $1500 for the good of the department and best interests of the town.

TOWN REPORT
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
Your trustees beg to submit their thirty-seventh an- nual report. The work of the library for this year has been very unsatisfactory to your trustees for the reason that the annual appropriation for library purposes was reduced to an amount that is entirely too small to carry on the work of the library in any satisfactory manner. With the funds at our disposal we have been able to keep the library open the usual number of times, to buy a few magazines, rebind a few books, where it was absolutely necessary, heat the rooms, and pay the minor items of expense for supplies, printing etc., but have not been able to buy any new books. The fact that no new books: have been added to the library during the year has caused very much complaint from the library patrons. who do not seem to realize that money is required to buy books, and if there is no money there must be no books .; Your trustees feel that, in order to carry on the work of the library successfully, and to maintain the interest of the people in the library, additions of new books must be made from time to time, and they also feel that $400 is the minimum amount required to maintain the efficiency of the library in a fairly satisfactory manner, they would therefore earnestly ask that $400 be appropriated this year for library purposes.
The only books added during the year as as follows: Standard Dictionary of Facts, Congressional Record Vols. 43 and 44, Mass. Digest and Manual of the General Court for 1912, and one book contributed by each of the
49

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF KIMBALL PARK.
To the Citizens of the Town of Merrimac :
We submit herewith our fourth annual report. It gives us pleasure to state that the Park is now practically complete.
During the past year Mr. Spinney planted new shrubs to replace those that died during the very dry summer of the year previous and if those newly planted shrubs survive the winter, we shall be called upon to pay the balance of his bill, which is $78.14. We propose to give some form of entertainment to raise money for this purpose and hope for the generous patronage of the citi- zens. If any one interested in the Park would like to con- tribute toward the payment of the above mentioned bill, it will be very gratefully accepted:

TOWN REPORT
LANDING PLACES.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. Essex, ss.
Court of County Commissioners.
October term, A. D. 1912, held by adjournment at Salem.
On the petition of Richard A. Sargent and others, freeholders within the County of Essex, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, representing that the exact location of the common landing places known as Clapboard Landing, Cottle's Landing, and Duck Hole Landing, located in the town of Merrimac in said County cannot be readily as- certained, and praying the County Commissioners for said County to ascertain the correct location of such landing places and to erect the necessary bounds thereof as is provided in Section 102, Chapter 48 of the Revised Laws.
This petition was entered at the July term, A. D. 1912, when notice was ordered given to all persons and corporations interested therein of the time and place when and where the Commissioners would meet for the purpose of viewing the premises and hearing the parties, as by their order of notice on file and of record will more fully appear.
It having been made to appear that all persons and corporations interested therein had been duly notified of the time and place of meeting, we, the County Com- missioners for said County did on the 27th day of August A. D. 1912 meet at the Town Hall in said town of Merri- mac when and where the parties appeared, and no person appeared to object. And having viewed the premises and having heard all parties who desired to be heard, we do find and adjudge that a common landing place known as
53
TOWN REPORT
Cottle's Landing exists on the bank of the Merrimac River near the foot of Locust street and the boundaries thereof are described as follows :
Westerly Boundry.
Beginning at the northwest corner of said landing at center of a stone bound which point is 92.86 ft. south- easterly from the southwesterly corner of the house of Marian L. Wood (known as the Moses Clement house,) and 77.85 ft. southerly from the southeasterly corner of said house, thence south 8 degrees 26 minutes east (mag- netic 1910) 55.88 ft. to the corner of a stone bound, then continuing on the same course to the Merrimac river.
Northerly Boundary.
Beginning at the center of said stone bound at the northwesterly corner of said landing, thence north 65 de- grees 26 minutes east, 75.4 ft. to the center of a stone bound, thence north 68 degrees east, 327.29 ft. to the cen- ter of a stone bound at the northeast corner of said land ing, which point is 11.2 ft. westerly from the northwest corner of the house formerly of Catherine Hagerty and 26.58 ft. northwesterly from the southwest corner of said house.
Easterly Boundary.
Beginning at center of said stone bound at northeast corner of said landing, thence south 21 degrees 15 min- utes east, 80.05 ft. to the center of a stone bound, thence continuing on the same course to the Merrimac River.
Bounded southerly on the Merrimac River.
And we do further find and adjudge that a landing place exists on the bank of the Merrimac River, known as the Duck Hole Landing, and the boundaries thereof are described as follows :
54
TOWN REPORT
Northerly Boundary.
Beginning at the northerly corner thereof at center of a stone bound which point is 52.88 ft. southerly from the northwest corner of house of Maude H. Rose and 27.2 ft. southerly from the southwest corner of said house, thence south 51 degrees east, (magnetic 1910), 144.0 ft. to the center of a stone bound, thence continuing on same course to Merrimac River.
Westerly Boundary.
Beginning at center of said stone bound at northerly corner of said landing, thence south 9 degrees 13 minutes east, 287.6 ft. to the center of a stone bound at the south- west corner of said landing.
Southerly Boundary.
Beginning at center of the stone bound at southwest corner of said landing, thence north 86 degrees 28 min- utes east, 63.05 ft. to the center of a stone bound, thence continuing on the same course to the Merrimac River.
Bounded easterly on Merrimac River.
And the bounds of said buildings are more fully shown on two plans drawn by John P.
