Report of the Chief Engineer


OF THE


Fire Department.


To THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


Gentlemen, - In compliance with the regulation of the Fire Department, I submit the following report.


The force of the Department consists of five engineers, twenty-two members of Andover Steamer, Co. No. 1, and B. F. Smith Hook and Ladder Truck, and sixteen members of J. P. Bradlee Steamer Co. No. 2.


The apparatus consists of two third class steam fire-engines, one hand engine, with hose-carriages for each, one one-horse hose-carriage, one hook and ladder truck, and one supply wagon. There are about four thousand feet of hose in good condition.


There have been ten alarms of fire the past year :


Feb. 16. Woods near Tewksbury.


April 16. Brush fire on land of Wm. Allen, Ballard Vale.


April 16. Brush fire, Ballard Vale.


April 20. Brush fire, Indian Ridge.


April 24. Brush fire on land of Thomas Clinton, B. Vale.


July 11. Brush fire on land of B. F. Smith, West Parish.


July 21. Brush fire, Ballard Vale,


Aug. 5. Fire in chimney of house owned by Roger Sweeney.


Nov. 3. Fire in West Parish, farm buildings owned by E. D. Jefferson.


Jan. 13. Fire in Ballard Vale, house owned by Mrs. Kate Conway.


54


I recommend an appropriation of $2500 for the running expenses of the ensuing year ; $500 for new hose ; $1000 for fire-alarm. And also recommend that the engine-house in Ballard Vale be moved on to land owned by the Town, and repaired, and a cellar be put under the same ; or that suit- able quarters be arranged in the old school-building, and a sum of money appropriated therefor.

The pleasant, convenient, well-furnished room which has been provided for the police is much appreciated by us.


57


The cells are a great convenience. Ten prisoners have been locked up, and four suspicious persons detained, in the four or five months they have been in use. The carriage cost for taking them to the almshouse for detention would have been $1.00 each ; thus $14.00 should be placed to the credit of the cells.


The tramp nuisance is increasing ; but I think it would be checked if each one was made to work every morning to pay for his night's lodging. If a room could be fitted up in the basement of the Town House, they could be set at work at whatever was being done at the time, under the super- vision of the police, and forced to do the work ; then, I think, we would not have so many tramps.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE F. CHEEVER,


CHIEF OF POLICE.

Report of Cemetery Committee.


The Cemetery Committee herewith submit their Annual Report, with the statement of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending January 12th, 1891.


During the past year the walks have been newly gravelled, a portion of the lots have been relocated, with new bounds put down, and other needed improvements made.


Eight burial lots have been sold.


The improvements needed for the ensuing year: The balance of the face-wall should be pointed, and other im- provements that may be needed to keep the premises in repair.


We therefore respectfully ask for the appropriation of $200, with the proceeds of such sales as may be made from the premises the ensuing year.

Nineteenth Annual Report


OF THE


Trustees of Memorial Hall.


The only matter in connection with the Library that calls for special mention is its growth. The gradual accumulation of books las more than filled our accessible shelf-room ; and this will probably have to be enlarged during the present year. The contemplated change can be made without any considerable expense, but it will involve a much-to-be-regretted sacrifice of space now devoted to the reading-room. The time is probably not far distant when the upper hall will have to be used as reading-room, and the lower hall surrendered wholly to the library.


The Trustees have received a gift of one hundred dollars from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the income of which is to be devoted to the purchase of temperance lit- erature suitable for young people.


It has excited surprise in some quarters that the Trustees do not abate the nuisance of dim and smoky lamps in the reading-room, when electricity is brought to their very door. They would be glad to abate it ; and if a sufficient number of public spirited patrons of the Library will combine to ob- tain from the Town an appropriation of two hundred dollars a year, it can be abated. The Trustees can find the means to put all the necessary apparatus into the building. But they cannot pay the running expenses of electrical lighting without the above-mentioned assistance.


74


The outside wood-work of the building has been thoroughly painted since our last report, and the annual examination of the property shows it to be in a good state of preservation.
