Report of Overseers of Poor.
Agreeable to custom, we present the Annual Report of this department.
There has been but little change of consequence at the Almshouse since our last Report, and the expenses have varied but little from the year past. We have admitted thirteen, discharged but one, and have at the present time forty-three inmates, -a larger number than usual, and as a class they require more care, and can do less labor than is usually the case, making it necessary to employ more help, both in and out of the house.
We would again most respectfully call the attention of the voters of the town to the fact that it is very necessary to have a better supply of water for the use of the house. The sub- ject was brought before the Annual Meeting last year, and it was decided to defer the matter until the present year. The Overseers now feel it their duty to have an article in- serted in the warrant asking for an appropriation for the purpose. We have made some inquiries, and think a wind- mill could be procured and put in working order for the sum of $500, including pipe and reservoirs.
The relief out of the Almshouse has been large, especially at the Lunatic Hospital, as we have more inmates there than ever before. A considerable part of this appropriation is paid out for other towns, which amount will be reimbursed to this town.

Report of the Chief Engineer
OF THE
Fire Department.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen, - In accordance with the Regulations of the Fire Department, I submit the following Report.
The force of the department consists of five Engineers, sixteen members of the Steamer Company, and forty-three members of the Shawshin Company at Ballard Vale.
The apparatus consists of one third-class steam fire-engine, and one hand-engine, with a hose-carriage for each ; also one four-wheeled horse hose-carriage, carrying 1000 feet of hose.
We have 1800 feet of hose in good condition, with hooks ladders and ropes at each engine-house.
There have been fourteen alarms of fire during the past year, as follows :
March 13, 1883. Barn of David Richardson. Total loss : Insurance, $1200 ; Insurance paid, $873.52.
April 14, 1883. House owned by David Richardson. Damage slight.
April 22, 1883. Woods at Frye Village.
April 29, 1883. Chimney in house of H. W. French.
April 30, 1883. Wood of G. W. Simmons, Ballard Vale.
May 2, 1883. Woods at Ballard Vale.
May 4, 1883. Woods at Ballard Vale.
May 8, 1883. Woods at Marland Village.
June 12, 1883. At Craighead and Kintz' works. Dam- age sliglit.
June 12, 1883. Bonfire.
47
June 21, 1883. House of Patrick Conway.
Aug. 14, 1883. Woods of J. H. Flint, West Parish.
Sept. 14, 1883. Out of town limits.
Nov. 19, 1883. Wood of George W. Simmons, Ballard Vale.
During the past year we have found several hundred feet of hose unfit for service, and it will be necessary to purchase new hose during the coming year.
I would again call your attention to the necessity of a proper means of heating the new engine-house. Last year there was an appropriation of two hundred dollars for a steam heating apparatus for heating the water in the boiler of the engine. The Engineers did not deem it advisable to expend that sum ; but are of opinion that a heater should be furnished capable of heating the house and hose-tower when needed.
I would again especially call your attention to the insuffi- cient supply of water in the centre of the town, and in the vicinity of our public buildings.
To make the department complete, we should have a light hook and ladder truck, for which we have ample accommo- dation in the new engine-house ; also a pair of horses, to be kept in the engine-house, for use in this department when needed ; at other times they could be used by the Town for other purposes.
I would recommend that $2000 be appropriated for the running expenses of the Fire Department for the ensuing year, and that $1000 be appropriated for the purchase of hose.

Report of Cemetery Committee.
The Cemetery Committee herewith submit their Annual Report, together with the receipts and expenditures for the year ending February 8th, 1884.
The face wall has been extended the entire length of the cleared land on the west side of the Cemetery and a gate put in at the southern entrance. The wall has been banked inside, and the avenues gravelled and new ones laid out. The shrubbery has been trimmed, and pipe has been laid for draining the grounds at the north end of the Cemetery.
The Committee have done the best they could with the limited appropriation granted. If it were known that all the receipts would be expended in improvements on the premises it is thought a larger number of lots would be sold. They respectfully ask an appropriation of $250, together with the avails of lots sold during the ensuing year.
