ENGINEERS' REPORT.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


GENTLEMEN, - The twelfth annual report of the Fire Depart- ment for the year ending Dec. 31, 1890, is herewith submitted for your consideration, which includes the principal items of interest connected with the department the past year, a statement of the condition, number of members, and such other information and suggestions that, in our experience, may be of interest to the citizens.


The force of the department consists of one hundred sixty-three men and five engineers, and is divided, with the apparatus, in the five wards, as follows : -


WARD 1. - W. O. Collier, engineer and clerk. Hose wagon No. 1, 15 men, 1,150 feet of hose.


Hook and ladder truck No. 1, 15 men.


Assistant hose carriage, 5 men, 300 feet hose.


WARD 2. - F. D. Thayer, Chief of Department. Hose carriage No. 2, 15 men, 1,900 feet of hose.


Hook and ladder truck No. 2, 15 men. Steamer No. 2, 4 men.


WARD 3. - C. E. Bicknell, engineer.


Hose carriage No. 3, 15 men, 1,950 feet of hose.


Hook and ladder truck No. 3, 15 men. Steamer No. 3, 4 men.


WARD 4. - M. P. Sprague, engineer.


Hose wagon No. 4, 15 men, 900 feet of hose.


L. C. hose carriage, 5 men, 500 feet of hose. Set of ladders, 5 men.


138


WARD 5. - Otis Cushing, engineer.


Hose carriage No. 5, 15 men, 1,500 feet of hose.


Hook and ladder truck No. 5, 15 men. Chemical engine, 10 men.


With the exception of the hose carriage No. 2, the apparatus is in good condition. The present carriage in Ward 2 is not what a ward of this size should depend upon, as it is impossible for the men to render first-class service with it. The constant and steady growth of this ward requires that the department be thoroughly equipped in all its parts. There are two other carriages, similar to this, in Wards 3 and 5, all of which should be disposed of or exchanged for hose wagons as soon as practicable. We would recommend that the town change one of these carriages each year. In this way our system can be raised to a high grade of efficiency, without becoming burdensome to the tax-payers. The cost would be about $250 each year.


BUILDINGS.


In accordance with the vote passed at the annual meeting, to build a hose house at Lovell's Corner, a contract was made with Messrs. Seabury & Garcelon to build a house similar to the one at Nash's Corner, and the result is a satisfactory building, and the members of the department who make their home at this house greatly appreciate the generosity of the town in this particular. We would recommend the houses in Wards 1, 2, 3, and 5, as a measure of economy, be painted this year.


FIRE ALARM.


We would again recommend the adoption of some system of fire alarm. For further information on this subject, would refer the citizens to our reports for several years back.


APPROPRIATIONS.


The Board of Engineers would recommend the following amounts to be appropriated for the current expenses of the Fire Depart- ment : ----


139


Salaries of firemen


. $2,000 00


Salaries of engineers .


130 00


Stewards, for care of houses and apparatus .


400 00


For hose


500 00


Miscellaneous


1,200 00


Painting houses


·


500 00


Repairs on hose carriages


.


250 00


$4,980 00


FIRES.


We are pleased to report that the town has been very fortunate the past year against fire losses. A large proportion of the fires that have occurred can be traced to defective chimneys. If the owners or occupants of buildings would clean out the soot at the bottom it would save them a great deal of trouble, as well as the town a bill of expense. The number of fires and alarms in the several wards are as follows : Ward 1 had three, Ward 2 had five, ·Ward 3 had two, Ward 4 had one, Ward 5 had five. Total, sixteen.


REMARKS.


Such a department as is ours to-day should be a pride to the town, because it is such a promise of safety against general disaster by fire, and it should be your care that all reasonable demands for its usefulness shall be met in a spirit of liberal appropriation. In conclusion, I desire to extend our acknowledgments for the support that has been given us during the year to promote the efficiency and improve the service ; to the officers and members of the sev- eral companies for the prompt response to all alarms of fire, the good work done, and their interest in the reputation of the Fire Department; to my associate engineers for their counsel in the management of the department and good judgment at fires.


Respectfully submitted,


F. D. THAYER, Chief of Fire Department.


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY.


The Board of Trustees respectfully submit their twelfth annual report as follows : -


During the year 1890, the Library has been open for the delivery of books three hundred and four days. The whole number of volumes loaned during the year was 56.519, being an average of 186 volumes per day. The largest number of loans in one day was 488, on Jan. 2, and the smallest number, 31 volumes, on July 28. .


During the year, 29,998 volumes were loaned to persons coming to the Library, and 26,521 volumes were distributed through the several agencies as follows : -


Precinct 1. Bartlett's store · 3,632


Precinct :. Salisbury's store . 8,267


Precinct 2. Shaw's store ·


3,137


Precinct 4. Lovell's Corner 899


Precinct 4. Nash's store .


.


. 3,579


Precinct 5. Clark & Foster's store .


7,007


The classification of circulation is as follows : Arts, three per cent ; biography, three per cent ; fiction, including juvenile books, seventy-three per cent ; history and literature, each three per cent ; natural science, one and a half per cent ; social science and poetry, each one per cent; theology, one half per cent ; travels, six per cent ; and periodicals, five per cent.


The annual inspection of the Library, under the direction of the Trustees, was made on Jan. 1 and 5, and only a single volume was unaccounted for.


During the year, 329 borrowers' cards were issued, making the whole number issued 5,995.


141


The number of volumes added to the Library was 862, of which number, 96 replaced worn-out books, leaving a net gain of 766 volumes, and making the total number of accessions 13,163.


The following named are some of the most important books purchased during the year : The American Art Review, 4 volumes ; Dickeson's American Numismatic Manual ; Goodyear's History of Art ; Hamerton's Etching and Etchers ; Allen's Great Cathedrals of the World ; Mrs. Mary Howitt's Autobiography ; Little's Life, Travels, and Explorations of Stanley ; Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Life ; Appleton's Annual Cyclopædia, 1889 ; Adams's His- tory of the United States ; the final volumes of Bancroft's History of the Pacific States ; Von Holst's Constitutional and Political History of the United States, volumes 5 and 6 ; Spofford & Gib- bon's Library of Choice Literature, 10 volumes (a very valua- ble work) ; Goodale's Wild Flowers of America, 2 volumes ; Schaff & Gilman's Library of Religious Poetry ; Darwin's Jour- nal of the Voyage round the World of H. M. S. Beagle ; Hall's Ireland, 3 volumes ; Stanley's In Darkest Africa, 2 volumes ; Vin- cent's Around and About South America ; Wylde's '83 to '87 in the Soudan, 2 volumes ; and a complete set of the Forum and the New England Magazine.


The Library has received, by gift, the valuable catalogues of the public libraries of Milwaukee (Wis.), Worcester (Mass.), and the Osterhout of Wilkesbarre (Pa.).


The method of publishing the lists of new books in the " Ga- zette," with an annual classified bulletin, has been continued, since it permits the librarian to put the books in circulation when re- ceived, instead of retaining them until the quarterly bulletin, and also brings the notice of accessions to a larger number of bor- rowers than the former custom. Many readers have learned the value of the card catalogue, and its use is largely increased.


To further aid borrowers in choosing books, a copy of " Gris- wold's Descriptive List of Novels and Tales Dealing with Ameri- can Country Life," with the library shelf numbers added, has been placed in the agencies of the different precincts, and in the gram- mar and high schools, and copies retained at the Library, one of which may be borrowed. To aid parents and teachers in select-


142


ing books for the young, "Sargent's Reading for the Young," a most valuable book for this purpose, has been purchased, and it will soon be placed in the schools. About thirty of our teachers avail themselves of the " special-card " privilege almost constantly, and at the request of some who have found the number formerly loaned on these cards too small for the demands of the work they wished to accomplish, the number of volumes which may be bor- rowed at one time on each of these cards has been increased to six.


The librarian reports that the use of the many valuable " books of reference " in the library is increasing, but that such increase is greatly hindered by the inconvenience resulting from lack of room ; and also that the reading-room department is so much crowded that very many persons who would gladly avail them- selves of its privileges, if they could expect to find vacant seats at the tables, wholly lose its advantages from this cause.


Two new periodicals, " The Arena " and " The Cosmopolitan," both ably conducted, have been added to the subscription list of the reading-room for next year, making this list highly creditable in point of numbers as well as of quality, and one which well deserves fourfold the space now allotted to it.


The town has a good library, of very respectable size for its age, with a capable, faithful, efficient librarian and assistants, and with a system of distribution as convenient as the financial condition of the Library will permit, to be supplemented, however, ere long, as we hope, by branches in the different centres of population ; but its home has become wholly inadequate for its present needs. At its last annual meeting, the town took action in respect to a supply of this need, and we await with anxious solicitude the decision of the town upon such plans for this purpose as the committee having this matter in charge may submit for its consideration. A list of donations to the Library during the past year, designating the number of bound volumes and of pamphlets, and a copy of new rules, are hereto appended.

WEYMOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.


WEYMOUTH, Feb. 13, 1891.


The Board of Commissioners consists of the same three persons who were originally chosen. Mr. Cook's first term having expired last year, he was re-elected for a term of three years.


The Commissioners are glad to know that the North Weymouth Park seems to be appreciated more and more as time rolls on. For the year 1890 it has been much used by young people for coasting, skating, and plays of many kinds ; it being so central and so near the large school-house that almost every child in the village finds time and opportunity to spend many days, and even weeks, on it during each year. A large number of grown persons cross this park daily, mostly in going to and from their work, and to better accommodate them a new raised walk, near the pond, has been built, at an expense of about fifteen dollars.


The entire expense during the year for building the new walk, taking care of all the walks and the rockeries, planting flowers and shrubs and taking care of them, and taking care of the trees, mowing and trimming the grass, and keeping the entire park, in- cluding the pond, neat and clean, and paying for the public water and applying the same, was $37.56, and the same was paid by the donor of the park land, there having been no contribution in money received from others. In labor, however, there has been some generous contributions from three or four persons living near the Sea Street side of the Park.


The conditional contribution of $50, or it may be $75, named in last year's report, has not yet been received, for the reason that the conditions are not yet such as require the larger sum to be paid. The promisor is good, and he will pay the smaller sum at any time,


150


or the larger sum as soon as the conditions make it due ; therefore, the friends of the Park had rather pay the current expenses, and wait.


We hope to receive the $75, and other generous contributions, during this year, and to expend the same in erecting a summer- house, and otherwise ornamenting the Park.


We are glad to know that the town has received deeds from the Webb family, conveying land for "a square or park " near and. overlooking Weymouth Fore River, and we hope the time is near at hand when the citizens of that part of the town and their friends will make contributions of from $500 to $1,000, to enable the Commissioners to commence such improvements on this square or park as will be necessary to beautify and adorn the same, and to prepare the location in a suitable manner for carrying out the ex- pressed wishes of the donors.


We hope the time is near when gifts of lands in other parts of the town will be received, with money to beautify and adorn them, to the end that Weymouth shall become the most beautiful, pic- turesque, and attractive town in the vicinity of Boston.


Respectfully submitted,


E. S. BEALS, WM. H. CLAPP, LOUIS A. COOK, Park Commissioners.


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.

The principal extensions the past year have been, in White . Street, Ward 5; Iron Hill, Ward 2; Sea Street, Ward 1; and Keith Street, Ward 3.


The new pump and boiler at the pumping station have been completed and paid for, at an expense of about $7,300.


Mr. George J. Ries continues our superintendent to our satis- faction, at a salary of $1,800 per year ; he to furnish his own horse- hire.


152


Mr. George W. Sargent is still our engineer at the pumping station, and we have increased his salary to $900 ; he has taken careful care of the station and grounds to our satisfaction.


MILL OWNERS AND LAND DAMAGE SUITS.


The suit of John E. Sanford et al., Assignees of the Weymouth Iron Co. v. The Town of Weymouth, pending at the date of our last report, was settled by compromise, without a second trial, upon the payment of $22,550, including damages, interest, and costs of suit, and the entry of " Judgment satisfied " made in court in the case early in November last.


The case of John C. Howe et al. v. The Town of Weymouth, after failure of negotiations for a settlement, had its second trial in October last, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs, of $4,829.36 ; but the plaintiffs, being dissatisfied with the verdict, have filed exceptions to the rulings of the Superior Court, which now await a hearing before the Supreme Judicial Court, and if these rulings shall be sustained by that court the last of these costly water suits will be settled upon the basis of the verdict.


The suit of the South Boston Ice Co. v. Weymouth is still pend- ing, but no further litigation is expected in this case.


On account of the expense incurred in the settlement of the claim of the Weymouth Iron . Company for damages, and also for putting in a new pump and boiler at the pumping station, your Commissioners sold the remaining $29,000 of the $400,000 of bonds which the town were authorized to issue. This necessitates an increase of $1,400 in the appropriation, in order to meet the inter- est and provide for the Sinking Fund, and for this reason we ask the town to raise and appropriate for 333 hydrants, at $25 each, $8,325, and for fountains, $275, making whole amount, $8,600.


Your Commissioners would respectfully ask the appropriation of $2,000, for the purpose of making such extensions as may be deemed necessary for the ensuing year ; also for the appropriation of the sum of $31,400 from the revenue of the works, to be applied as follows : -
