FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.


IN CHARGE OF ELBERT M. CROCKETT.


One 4-circuit storage battery switchboard, complete, 205 battery cells, 23 miles of wire, 5 mechanical gongs, 4 direct action tappers, one combination indicator and gong, 2 indica- tors, 1 tape register, 1 bell striker, 1 whistle machine, 1 ten- inch Crosby chime whistle, 141 poles, 2 clocks, 25 street boxes, 2 hand brake key stations, and one compressed air fire whistle complete.


In submitting our report for the year ending Jan. 20, 1914, would say, that the Board of Fire Engineers met the Finance committee and suggested the sum of $5,500.00 to pur- chase a motor combination, to replace the combination wagon, now in use, as we believe same to be in the line of progress and a matter of economy.


We recommend that the town purchase 1,000 feet of new


12S


hose, as there is not enough good hose in the department to handle a large fire.


We recommend the following appropriations :-


Pay of members $9,500 00


Incidentals . 2,200 00


Repairs ·


1,000 00
