ENGINEERS' REPORT.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth :
Gentlemen, - We submit the following report of the condition of the Fire Department for the year 1879.
The Board of Engineers consists of ten, two from cach ward, viz. :
CHARLES E. BICKNELL, Chief.
GEORGE W. BATES, Clerk.
CHARLES H. CHUBBUCK, JOHN R. H. WILLIAMS,
GEORGE G. FRENCH, WILLIAM H. HOCKING,
STEPHEN CAIN, SAMUEL S. SPEAR,
Z. L. BICKNELL, ALVAH RAYMOND, JR.
The apparatus is the same as reported last year, viz., seven hand-engines with hose carriages, three hook and ladder trucks, fully equipped, and one chemical engine and tender, most of which are in good order. The " Active " and " Conqueror." have been thoroughly repaired this year, and when the " Active " has been painted, they will not be likely to require much to be done to them
40
for a number of years. The " Amazon " was examined by an expert and found to be so nearly worn out, that the board did not think they would be justified in expending what would be required to make it what it should be, that is, reliable at all times. It may be serviceable for some years, but is very liable to be useless at any time, and it is our opinion that when the town shall decide to purchase another fire engine, it should be a steamer. The " Gen. Bates," " Gen. Putnam," and "Rocket " are in good, serviceable condition. In consequence of the condition of the " Amazon " en- gine, the " Rocket " was placed in charge of the compay in Ward 3 and the " Rescue " at East Weymouth.
Nine hundred feet of rubber leading hose have been purchased for the hand engines, and one hundred feet for the chemical engine. The department now has three thousand and ninety feet of rubber and fifteen hundred feet of cotton hose, not including that for the chem- ical engine, which we believe to be sufficient for present need. The trucks and ladders are all well looked after and do good service ; there is a necessity that some provision should be made for ladders in Ward 1.
The buildings, with the exception of the one in Ward 5, are in good repair ; that in Ward 5, as was reported last year, is badly located, and requires extensive repairs.
The reservoirs are in good order, with the exception of the one at Nash's Corner, Ward 4 ; this had no bottom laid when built, and consequently rises and falls as the season may be wet or dry, and might be without water when needed. There are many places in town where a number of buildings are in dangerous proximity and where no water could be had should there be a fire, and we ask that a special appropriation be made for the building of small reservoirs in such localities.
The several companies are organized as reported last year, viz. : -
Conquerer, No. 1 50 men.
Amazon, No. 2 .

It will be observed that the amount of loss is less than one fifth of what it was in 1878, but we believe, but for the promptness and efficiency of the firemen, it would have very much exceeded it.
We recommend that the town appropriate for the year 1880 $2,700, viz. : -
For incidentals and general expenses $1,200
For reservoirs
1,500
