ENGINEERS' REPORT.


TO THE SELECTMEN OF BRAINTREE :


Gentlemen,- The engineers of the Braintree Fire Department respectfully submit the following report of their doings for the year ending Feb. 1, 1883 : --


ENGINEERS, ORGANIZED MAY 1, 1882. THOMAS PENNIMAN, Chief. BENJAMIN J. LORING, JR., Clerk.


Albion C. Drinkwater, Charles W. Proctor, John Cavanagh, Albert Hobart, John Kelley, William. M. Richards, George Sumner.


COMPANIES, ORGANIZED FEB. 1, 1882.


Union Engine, No. 1, 47 men ; Robert Gillespie, foreman. Butcher Boy Engine, No. 2, 42 men ; Marcus A. Perkins, fore- man. Wampatuck Hook and Ladder, No. 1, 25 men ; John W. Dorety, foreman.


ENGINE HOUSES.


The several houses belonging to the department are in good con- dition. The Union Engine Company have presented to the depart- ment the following property, viz. : 5 fire scenes, mirror, clock,


39


4-light chandelier, roll-board, ballot-box, cook-stove, picture of Garfield, 4 pictures, and 7 curtains, valued at $78.00. Butcher Boy Engine Company have had their hall handsomely painted and dec- orated the past year, at their own expense, and have also present- ed to the department a clock, chandelier, marble slab, and brackets, 3 dozen spoons, and 7 curtains. . The thanks of the town are due to the above companies for their generosity.


ENGINES.


The engines are in good repair, with the exception of the Butcher Boy, which needs painting the coming year.


HOSE.


There is belonging to the department about 2,750 feet of lead- ing hose, a portion of which is in poor condition, as may be seen by the schedule of property.


RESERVOIRS.


It was recommended by the Board of Engineers of 1880 that some arrangements be made, if possible, with Naaman L. White, Esq., so that the water in his pond could be used in case of fire in that vicinity. We would recommend that the engineers be in- structed to use the water in said pond, as we consider we have a perfect right to do.


RECOMMENDATIONS.


The board would recommend the raising of the hose towers on the Union and Butcher Boy houses, in order to secure a better protection of their hose, which, we think, will be economy for the town. We also recommend the construction of a reservoir on Washington Street, near the residence of Josephus Sampson. In the vicinity of the South Congregational Church, Andrew Dyer, owner of land adjoining Little Pond, has kindly granted to the town permission to use said land for the purpose of procuring water for the use of the department in case of fire. The cost of doing the work will not probably exceed $75.00. We further recommend that the pay of firemen be the same as last year, viz., $10 to each fireman for a year's service.


APPROPRIATIONS.


We recommend that there be appropriated by the town for the ensuing year the following amounts, viz. : -


Pay of men


$1,250 00

The auditors find, upon examination of the tax collector's account, that great improvement might be made in the manner of keeping the accounts, so that at the end of the year his books should show amount of interest paid, that the town may know the exact amount of interest they receive on taxes. By the present system it is utterly impossible for the auditors to find the exact amount of interest due or paid the town.
