Board of Fire Engineers


To the Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen :- The following is the report of the Board of Fire Engineers and the Chief of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1928.


Important Notice


We would ask all persons discovering fires in buildings to ring the nearest box (if within reasonable distance) as it is quicker and more accurate than the telephone. If you think you must use the telephone be sure to ask for Emergency Breakers 82. Do not simply ask for the Fire Department.

Large Hose


We now have 3,350 feet 21/2 in. hose and 400 feet of 3 in. hose. We will require 500 feet 21/2 in. hose for 1929, and have so recom- inended.


Chemical Hose


We have in service 700 feet chemical hose.


Buildings


At the Central Station during the past year the old heating boiler, which occupied the front part of the boiler room, was removed and a new boiler installed in the rear, which left the space formerly used by the boiler available for the new recreation room for the men.


The men at this house have done most of the work necessary for the development of this room, such as steam fitting, carpentry, brick laying, plastering and painting, and now they have completed a fine large room 13x28, with five windows and a fireplace, giving plenty of light and air. The inen started the work in June.


The Phillips Beach House is in reasonably good condition, re- quiring only the usual upkeep repairs.


Fire Alarm System


There have been 49 alarms sent out over the system during the past year.


As the new school which is to be built on the Hastings property will probably be completed before the annual town meeting of 1930, we believe we should ask for an appropriation at this time to install a fire alarm box at that building. and we have so recommended.


We have finally completed the work of transfering our overhead wires from above the high tension lines of the Lynn Gas and Electric Co. to a position on the poles just above the telephone wires, thereby making it safer for linemen working on our wires in bad weather, and also minimizing the chances for trouble. We have also replaced the last of our old type boxes with the modern non-interfering successive box.


Our fire alarm system as it now stands consists of three box cir- cuits and one whistle circuit. There are 50 street boxes at present, with a possibility of three more to be added this year.


Circuit No. 1 has 20 boxes, with a probable addition of three this year, making 23 in all, and covers Humphrey street, from Redington street easterly, with Millett road, Sargent road, Puritan road, Kensing- ton lane, also Phillips Beach, Beach Bluff and Little's Point.


Circuit No. 2 has 16 boxes, and covers the central part of the town east of the State road, including the hills to Pleasant street and the Whitney estate.


Circuit No. 3 has 14 boxes and the lines connecting the three Lynn houses in which we have our bells and registers. This circuit also covers the whole of the upper part of the town above New Ocean street and the State road.


Circuit No. 4 has no street boxes. It runs underground from the Central Station, New Ocean street to the Town Hall, taking in the transmitter box, register and whistle.


While we have greatly improved our system during the past few years, we still have only about 5 per cent. of our wires underground and are now confronted with the following conditions:


Our three circuits are overloaded. still being of the same number as in 1896, when the territory they covered was far smaller than today. The only way to remedy this trouble is to make more circuits by split- ting up the present ones. (The town of Marblehead has eight circuits for about the same area). This is impossible at present, as the switch- board and repeater at the Central Station, both of which were installed many years ago, leave no room for expansion. Their capacity was


175


REPORT OF BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS


1928]


reached soon after their installation, which brings us to the question of a new switchboard and repeater of sufficient capacity to meet the re- quirements of the system for the next 15 or 20 years.


We also have dangerous conditions on some of our overhead lines which can only be remedied by placing them underground. We also believe that wherever underground conduits have been left for our use by the Telephone Co. we should place our wires in then as soon as possible, as underground lines are far less subject to trouble.


With these facts before us, and also with a view to further modern- izing the system, we have caused a survey to be made by a competent Fire Alarm Engineer, with the result that plans have been developed for splitting circuits, replacing Central Station equipment, placing lines underground, retiming boxes and putting bells and registers on separate circuits, etc.


Realizing the magnitude of the work it is planned to do, we pro- pose to spread it over a period of five years, and for this year our recommendations are as follows:


Take our wires now on poles between the junction of Humphrey street and Atlantic avenue and the junction of Humphrey street and Beach Bluff avenue, on Humphrey street, and put them underground in a conduit left for our use several years ago by the Telephone Co. Also rearrange branch loops to give better testing facilities. This will do away with one of the worst spots on our whole system. We have an estimate on this work and have recommended an appropriation to cover the same.


Remarks


During the past year a new Browder life-net of the latest type was purchased, to take the place of the old canvas net in service for many years on Combination C.


Realizing that we have other boxes beside 31, 32 and 621, which should be covered by more than one engine and truck company on first alarm, arrangements have been made with the Lynn Fire Department to send Engine 8 and Ladder 1 to the following boxes: 24, 36, 331 and 531 on first alarm, we to return the compliment by answering Lynn boxes 322, 346, and 347.


We wish to mention the good work done during the past year by our Motor Supervisor, Capt. F. T. J. McNamara, and our department painter, C. L. Stover.


This department, co-operating with the School Department, fur- nished speakers and literature and held fire-drills in observance of Fire Prevention Day, October 9.


Recommendations


That the town appropriate $1000 for hydrant rental.


That the town appropriate $250 to purchase and install a fire-alarm box at the new school to be built on the Hastings property.


That the town appropriate $5000 for improving the fire-alarm system, displacing part of the present overhead construction by under- ground cable with necessary connections.


That the town appropriate $500 for 500 feet 21/2 in. hose.

Moth Superintendent


To the Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen :- While the abundance of rain in May and June was beneficial to tree growth it was not without its detrimental character- istics. A rainy spraying season means either a longer one or more bugs the following year. In spite of the rain the usual necessary spray- ing was accomplished, and while some tent caterpillars almost com- pleted their life cycle before we found them, they, together with the gypsy moth and satin moth, and numerous less economically important leaf feeding insects were kept in suppression. One willow tree on Stetson avenue was partially defoliated by the satin moth, but the con- dition was detected in time and a thorough spraying corrected what had all the appearances of developing into a serious case of defoliation.


During the winter months after the foliage had fallen, as usual, a systematic tour of the town was made in search of the gypsy moth egg clusters which were treated with creosote. At this time a start has been made on this work and the usual amount of ground has been covered. The number of egg clusters is about the same as last year. The amount appropriated for the work this year was $4,685.00 and the moth tax amounted to about $2.500.00.


Respectfully submitted,


EVERETT P. MUDGE, Local Moth Superintendent.


Tree Warden


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


The past season has been a phenomenal one for trees because of copious rains during the entire season. Particularly were the 152 newly planted trees benefitted by the wet. Of the 44 removed for various causes not a single loss can be attributed to the weather conditions.


After the spraying season was over dead wood also low limbs were removed from trees in all parts of the town. Thirty-eight trees were thinned to admit sunshine and light.


The leaf feeding insects were suppressed during the spraying sea- son, and the usual leopard moth work has been done. The cottony maple scale is still in evidence on the silver leaf maples.


Wounds to trees caused by mechanical injury have been treated.


Tree guards have been applied to all newly planted trees, also where evidence pointed to their need. Injury from electric light wires has been very slight and no trees have been killed by escaping illuminating gas.


Respectfully submitted,


EVERETT P. MUDGE, ยท Tree Warden.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN


1928]


Forest Warden


To the Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen :- The frequent rains during April had a marked effect on reducing the usual number of fires in the spring. For the year there were only twenty woods fires.


Two hundred seventy-eight permits for fires in the open air were issued, in accordance with the law, notices of which were posted in all parts of the town, calling attention to the fact that permits are necessary and that all must assist in preventing woods fires.


Respectfully submitted,


EVERETT P. MUDGE, Forest Warden.

Surveyor of Highways


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1928:


All construction work this year has been done by contract. Nor- folk avenue, from the junction of Stetson avenue to Paradise road, has been resurfaced with bituminous macadam asphalt, the work being done by Antonio Mogavero of Peabody. The same contractor also rebuilt Lodge and Bates roads, which were reshaped, surfaced with gravel and rolled. Sidewalks were also built by the contractor on both the latter streets.


Kensington lane. Northern avenue and Foster road were reshaped and surfaced with gravel, the work being done by Felice D'Agnese, of Swampscott.


The following street work was done by the department:


Banks circle, resurfaced with cinders, covered with stone dust and roiled.


Oceanview road, from Sargent road, easterly, resurfaced with gravel and rolled and sidewalks built.


Hillcrest circle, grade lowered, resurfaced with tarred mixed crushed stone and rolled, and sidewalks built.


Hardy road, Millett road, Mountwood road, where needed. Banks terrace. Mapledale place, the hill on Burpee road, the hill on Eastman avenue and the square at the junction of Thomas and Farragut roads. were all resurfaced with tarred mixed crushed stone.


In addition tarred concrete sidewalks were laid on Banks terrace: a drain was laid and two catch basins built on Mapledale place.


Atlantic avenue, from Phillips corner to Marblehead line, was seal coated with heavy asphalt, covered with pea stone and rolled. About 6000 gallons of oil was used in the sealing process. The shoulders of this street have been shaped and gravel used for filling five times during the summer.


On Essex street the shoulders of the street adjoining the cement pavement, from the cemetery to the Salem line, have been shaped with tarred mixed stone.


About one half mile of streets has been resurfaced with gravel by the department and the usual work of patrolling or patching street surfaces has been done. About seven miles of streets were seal coated in whole or in part.


Repairs to sidewalks have been made where needed, the following amounts of materials being used: 789 tons of stone dust; 521 loads of gravel: 334 loads of cinders.


The department has continued its practise of safeguarding those who have to use the sidewalks in winter by sprinkling sand on the side- walks whenever they were in an icy condition and 74 loads of sand were used on this work.


Tar concrete sidewalks were repaired at a cost of $1.00 per yard for new work and 65 cents per yard for skim coating. This work was done under contract by F. P. Hart of Lynn. Number of yards laid, new 1028; skim coat 653. Some 214 yards of granolithic sidewalks were repaired and 1024 yards of tarred mixed concrete sidewalks were laid by the department.


Five catch basins were retopped and all catch basins in town were cleaned at least twice, and some oftener where needed. The following drain pipe was laid: 6 inch, 8 feet; 8 inch, 14 feet; 10 inch, 28 feet; 12


179

inch, 66 feet. Gutters in all streets have been cleaned when needed and about 1570 square yards of tar and mixed stone have been laid in gutters to prevent washing out.


Five manholes and 38 driveways were lowered; 626 feet of curb- stone reset; 996 feet new curbstone laid; 415 feet of guard rail fence repaired.


There were 28,688 gallons of asphaltic road oil used on the streets and 32,017 gallons of road tar, same being purchased under contract from The Alden Speare's Sons Co., and The Barrett Co. The prices paid were: cold patch delivered at town yard and put in barrels .15; penetration asphalt applied .0995; 65% asphalt road oil applied .0582; 30% applied .0607. All oil applied to the streets was covered with sand. Price of sand delivered at town yard, $1.25 per ton; teamed by town trucks. 90 cents per ton. There were 34,427 gallons of water used for sprinkling streets during the summer. The amount spent for repairs on the wood block pavement on Humphrey street from the Lynn line to Blaney street was $309.45. No repairs were needed beyond Blaney street.


In accordance with the suggestion of the Finance Committee, the Cemetery Department has had the use of a single cart when needed during the summer season, for which no charge was made. No equip- ment was added to the department during the year.


The building used by the department as a stable and locker is in very bad condition and growing worse every year. Early in the year the town voted $10,000 for a new stable, but later this was withdrawn. I would call attention to the report of the committee on this stable in this year's town report.


Recommendations


I recommend that the town vote to erect a building on land owned by the town on State road suitable for highway purposes and appropriate money therefor.


I recommend that the surface of Essex street bridge be replanked, and that the abutment of the Danvers street bridge be pointed, and that money be appropriated therefor.


Respectfully submitted,


MICHAEL J. RYAN,


Surveyor of Highways.
