ENGINEER'S REPORT
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN, - I have the honor to submit to you the eleventh annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1889. It is with great pleasure that we call your attention to the very large amount of property in danger and so small proportion destroyed. It speaks well of the discipline of the Department and of the character and efficiency of its members, most of whom have been in the Department since its first organization and have always been a credit to the town.
Where we have so many frame buildings in our villages, each citizen should do whatever is within his power in the way of precaution against fires, so that none of our villages may be num- bered among the unfortunate. Experience by fire is a good teacher. Although we are sometimes criticized by the citizens for some slight mistakes, yet we look back upon our record, feeling that we have done our duty. We are none of us infallible.
The Department, as at present organized, consists of five engi- neers and one hundred and sixty-two men, and is divided with the apparatus in the several wards, as follows : -
WARD 1. - W. O. Collier, Engineer and clerk : Hose wagon, No. 1, 15 men, 1,050 feet of hose.
Ladder truck, No. 1, 15 men.
Assistant hose carriage, 5 men, 300 feet of hose.
WARD 2. - F. D. Thayer, Engineer and chief :
Hose carriage, No. 2, 15 men, 1,850 feet of hose. Ladder truck, No. 2, 15 men ; steamer, No. 2, 4 men.
1 .
141
WARD 3. - C. E. Bicknell, Engineer :
Hose carriage, No. 3, 15 men, 1,950 feet of hose.
Ladder truck, No. 3, 15 men ; steamer, No. 3, 4 men.
WARD 4. - W. H. Hocking, Engineer :
Hose wagon, No. 4, 15 men, 750 feet of hose.
Assistant carriage, Lovell's corner, 5 men, 550 feet of hose, set ladders, 5 men.
WARD 5. - Otis Cushing, Engineer :
Hose carriage, No. 5, 15 men, 1,450 feet of hose.
Ladder truck, No. 5, 15 men ; chemical engine, No. 1, 10 men.
Most of the apparatus is in good repair ; the ladders belonging to the department are old, heavy, and wholly unfitted for use. We have stated before, and now wish to impress it strongly on the minds of our citizens, that the further use of these ladders is dangerous, and that if loss of life or limb occur through their use the town may be liable for heavy damages. We would again earnestly recommend the appropriation for this service. A fine new hose wagon has been placed in commission the past year in Ward 4.
BUILDINGS.
The vote passed at the last annual meeting appropriating $1,000 for building and furnishing small hose houses, has not been expended. The board are of the opinion that the money could be better invested by building a hose house at Lovell's Corner, and would recommend the town appropriate this money for that pur- pose. The needed repairs on our other buildings is mostly the want of painting ; it is seven years since they were last painted. We would recommend as a matter of economy to the town that these repairs be made this year.
142
FIRE ALARM.
One of the most pressing needs of our department at the present time is a more reliable method of giving an alarm. As our fire- men are necessarily scattered throughout our town, many residing half a mile or more from the engine houses, some method for giv- ing an immediate alarm is very much needed.
The present unsatisfactory condition of affairs should not be allowed to longer continue. The magneto fire alarm in East Wey- mouth has had a practical test for over a year, and has never failed of giving a correct alarm. There is connected with this alarm about six miles of wire, ten large call boxes for giving the alarm, and fourteen extension boxes in the houses and in two of the largest factories, where most of the firemen work, so nearly all of them get the alarm of fire either day or night. This service could be put up in the several wards, connected and so arranged that a general alarm could be given all over the town for about $1,500, and taken care of for less than $100.00 a year. Fire alarm has its advantages and benefits ; it saves the firemen many a hard run, as he knows the moment he hears the alarm in what direction to go. Nothing will give them the desired knowledge quicker than a good system of fire alarm. It gives them a chance to catch all the little fires before they grow into big ones. There is no doubt in the minds of anyone who was at the fire in the Peaks building, that this alarm saved to the insurance companies over $3.000. I think it would be well for the insurance companies to sometimes remember the firemen in some way. It would make their work more pleasant to know that their work was appreciated.
For precautions against the spread of fires, I think the main thing is to make connection with the department and get the apparatus and firemen on the spot in the quickest possible way. The alarm in Ward 2 may appear to some rather visionary, but not so to those who have seen its practical working.
APPROPRIATIONS.
We would recommend for the ensuing year, the sum of $6,360; this includes the poll tax, which has been added to the expenses
143
of the Department the past year, to be expended substantially as follows : -
For hose house at Lovell's Corner
$1,000 00
salaries of firemen
.
2,000.00
salaries of engineers
130 00
stewards for care of houses and apparatus
430 00
hose .
500 00
miscellaneous expenses
1,200 00
painting houses . ·
.
.
.
500 00
ladders
.
600 00
$6,360 00
.
We have recommended what we believe our duty and the interest of the town demands. Should the town appropriate a less amount, we trust it will indicate by vote, the items for which no appropria- tion is made.
REMARKS.
The relations existing between the Board of Engineers and the Department have been of the most pleasant character, and all of our efforts to advance the interest of the Department have been re- ceived without the slightest question. The appropriation asked for in this report may seem to some rather large, but it is worth all it costs in the knowledge the citizens have of security and protec- tion against fire.
We believe it is the duty of each Department to use as much economy as is consistent with the public good. In conclusion, I wish to extend the thanks of the Board to the members of the Fire Department, and all who have rendered any assistance to the De- partment during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
F. D. THAYER, Chief of Weymouth Fire Department.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY.
The Board of Trustees respectfully submit their eleventh annual report as follows : -
During the year 1889 the library has been open for the delivery of books, three hundred and two days ; and the average number of volumes loaned per day was 189+, and the whole number during the year, 57,157. The largest delivery in one day was 466 vol- umes on Jan. 2, and the smallest in one day was 37 volumes on Oct. 14.
The classification of circulation is, as follows : -
Arts and Literature, each, 3 per cent; Biography, 2 per cent ; Fiction, 74 per cent ; History, 4 per cent ; Natural Science 1} per cent ; Social Science and Poetry, each, 1 per cent ; Travels and Periodicals each, 5 per cent ; and other departments ¿ per cent.
The number or loan cards issued during the year is 272; making the whole number issued 5,666.
The number of volumes added to the library during last year was 758, of which only 15 replaced worn out volumes ; making a net gain of 743 volumes ; and the highest accession number 12,301.
The annual inspection of the library, under the direction of the Trustees was made on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 inst., and two vol- umes were unaccounted for. During the year two important serial works, viz. : The Narrative and Critical History of America in 8 volumes, and the Encyclopædia Brittannica in 24 volumes, have been completed, and the final volumes received ; and the American Supplement to the Britannica in 4 volumes has also been added. Lalor's Cyclopedia of Political Science, Political Economy and of the Political History of the United States in 3 volumes. Wolt- mann and Woerman's History of Ancient, Early Christian and Medicval Painting, 2 volumes ; Motley's Correspondence, 2 vol-
146
umes ; Chaillu's Viking Age, 2 volumes ; Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, 4 volumes ; Lanciani's Ancient Rome, in the Light of Modern discoveries ; Wright's Ice Age in North America ; the final volumes of Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians ; and four additional volumes of Bancroft's History of the Pacific States, are some of the other standard and more costly additions to the library. We are indebted to the courtesy of Hon. Elijah A. Morse, M. C., for valuable public documents, including the Fishery Indus- tries of the United States ; and also, for the Daily Congressional Record.
To the reading-room table for the coming year will be added " The New England Magazine " and " The American Machinist," both publications of great merit.
The amount expended for the maintenance of the library during the last year was $2,347.76.
The Trustees of the library, in considering and presenting its claims upon the treasury of the town are not unmindful of the premonitions of various and urgent appeals for unusually large appropriations by the town, at its annual meeting, nor of the fact that the limit of its available resources for annual expenditure has been reached by its appropriations in former years, and these facts seem to require of us an earnest remonstrance against the adoption of a policy which will sacrifice the intellectual and moral interests of the people to that which seems (but falsely) to promote their material welfare. '
As we have in former reports taken occasion to suggest, the usefulness of a public library can only be sustained by constant .. and liberal additions of fresh, entertaining, instructive, pure books. When once the interest of those who have time and inclination for reading useful books has been suffered to flag by the omission to provide sufficient incitement, it will prove a costly task to renew and revive that interest to the full measure of its original vitality.
Let us not, though the stress of circumstances be great, commit the folly of those of whom the preacher prophesied that "God hath made everything beautiful in his time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
147
A list of donations to the library during the past year, designat- ing the number of bound volumes and of pamphlets, are hereto appended.

WEYMOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
The Park Commissioners, as required by Sect. 12 of Chap. 154 of the Acts of 1882, make report of their doings, including detailed statement of all receipts, expenditures, and liabilities for the year ending Dec. 31, 1889, as follows : -
At the annual town meeting held March 4, 1889, Chap. 154 of the Acts of 1882 was legally accepted, and a Board of Park Com- missioners was chosen : E. S. Beals for three years, William H. Clapp for two years, and Louis A. Cook for one year.
On the fourth day of April, 1889, the Board of Park Commis- sioners met and organized by electing E. S. Beals, president, and Wm. H. Clapp, secretary. No work was laid out, as the board , was not provided with any funds; but it was agreed that the president might superintend the expenditure of any money or donations that he might find to be available for improving the North Weymouth park and playground.
During the year the grading of said park and playground has been completed nearly or quite as well as it is possible to do it ; between forty and fifty trees have been set out thereon, all of which now appear to have done fairly well.
The large rockery, composed of about fifty tons of rocks of large size, gathered from several parts of Weymouth and from Hingham, Hull, and the Hoosack Mountain, and from other places, among which are many beautiful and rare specimens of color, structure, and geological formation, has been stocked with many kinds of shrubs and flowering plants, and supplied with the public water.
A large rockery, composed of common rocks from an old wall on the park and some fine specimens from the Hoosack Mountain
153
and elsewhere, has been built on the south side of the pond and supplied with the public water, making a beautiful sight, especially when the fountain is playing.
The walks and the flower and shubbery beds on the Sea Street side have been kept in excellent condition, and a handsome vase has been placed on the central grass plot next the street.
Two settees and a suitable quantity of hose belong to the park and playground.
There have been some plank seats built near Athens Street, and the grounds, generally, are now well grassed over, and they have been well mowed, and together with the pond, have been kept very nice and clean.
Above all, an arc electric light forty-five feet high, on the line of Bridge Street, has been so placed as to well light the entire park and playground, it being just right for all the neighboring streets and public places, including Pilgrim Church, the engine house and the Athens Schoolhouse, and making it delightfully pleasant for coasting, sliding and skating on the park and pond in the long winter evenings.
Circumstances seeming to make it necessary, the following By- Laws were adopted and published by the park commissioners, May 17, 1889 : -
1. Baseball may be played on the Bridge Street portion of the North Weymouth park and playground.
2. Baseball shall not be played on the Athens Street portion of said park and playground :
Any person breaking this rule shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty dollars for one offence.
3. No person shall behave in a rude or disorderly manner, or use profane, indecent, or insulting language on any portion of said park and playground.
Any person violating this rule shall be liable to a penalty of not less than two or more than twenty dollars.
See town By-Laws, Articles 21 and 35 ; also the Laws of 1882, Chap. 154, Sect. 3.
