ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN, - I have the honor herewith to submit to you the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888, the same being my third, and the tenth of the organiza- tion of the deparment by the town. During this time many changes and improvements have been noted; steam has super- seded hand engines, a bountiful supply of water from our numerous hydrants, and the magnetic fire alarm recently introduced in Ward 2. But few more improvements are needed to make the depart- . ment in Ward 2 very near perfection : the high pressure should be so arranged as to be immediately applied in case of fire, and have the horses and apparatus brought nearer together. As all horses are one quarter mile or more from the engine house, much valuable time is lost in getting a good start, and complaints are frequently made because of the delay of apparatus.
The organization of the department and apparatus in service are as follows : F. D. Thayer, chief; W. O. Collier, clerk ; C. E. Bicknell, W. H. Hocking, Otis Cushing, Engineers.
WARD 1. - Hose wagon No. 1, 15 men, 1,050 feet hose. Hook and ladder truck, 15 men. Assistant carriage, 5 men, 300 feet hose.
WARD 2. - Hose carriage No. 2, 15 men, 1,700 feet hose. Steamer 2, 4 men. Hook and ladder truck, 14 men.
WARD 3. - Hose carriage No. 3, 15 men, 1,700 feet hose. Steamer 3, 4 men. Hook and ladder truck, 15 men.
WARD 4. - Hose carriage No. 4, 15 men, 600 feet hose. Assist- ant carriage, Lovell's Corner, 5 men, 550 feet hose. Set of lad- ders, Lovell's Corner, 5 men.
WARD 5. - Hose carriage No. 5, 15 men, 1,400 feet hose. Hook and ladder truck, 15 men. Chemical engine No. 1, 10 men.

APPARATUS.
Most of this is in good repair. The hook and ladder trucks should be painted and varnished. Our ladder service should receive considerable attention in the way of improvements, as there is not a ladder in the department that will reach to the upper sto- ries of our highest buildings. The ladders now being introduced are far in advance of those bought ten years ago. The Active hand engine has been sold for a good price, and much credit is due Hose 1 for the excellent care it received while standing in the house. The town still own the General Putnam.
APPROPRIATION.
Of the $2,500 appropriated last year over $2,000 was paid for salaries. This year it will require $2,200 for salaries, as all the com- panies have full complement of men. There were approbated on the first of May, 1888, 167 men ; for general expenses, $800; for hose wagon, Ward 4, $400 ; for hose, $500.
BUILDINGS.
At the last annual meeting the town appropriated $800 for hose house in Ward 4. A contract was made with Mr. T. P. Hobart, and the result is a good substantial building well calculated to meet the uses of the department. The other houses are in good repair.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
In tendering our acknowledgments to the honorable Board of Selectmen, I desire to express my sincere appreciation for the co-operation of the Board with me in my official position, to Mr. T. P. Hobart for the faithful and workmanlike manner in which he performed every part of his contract on the engine house in Ward 4.
To the contributors of the magnetic fire alarm in Ward 2, we extend our most sincere thanks. For the members of the depart- ments we have only the most favorable comments, for the faithful

discharge of public duty. The firemen have proven themselves worthy in the past ; we have no reason for expecting anything but the same in the future.
Respectfully submitted,
F. D. THAYER, Chief of Weymouth Fire Department.

The annual inspection of the library, under the direction of the- Trustees, was made on the last day of December and the first day of January instant, and all books belonging to it were accounted for. But one volume, of the value of fifty cents, was loaned and lost,. and the person upon whose card it was borrowed refuses payment.
In their last report the Trustees referred to the great advantages- which would result to patrons of the library from an enlargement. of the space available for the use of those who desire to make fre .. quent use of the books of reference in the library, and of the well- supplied reading-room connected with it; and expressed the hope- that they might in this report present for the consideration of the
