REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: -
GENTLEMEN : - According to custom I have the honor to submit to you my third annual report of the Fire Depart- ment for the year ending December 31st, 1901. At the organization of the Board, May 1st, Edward Fahey was elected Chief and W. O. Collyer, Clerk ; the other members consisting of J. R. Walsh, W. H. Hocking and D. W. Hart, he having been appointed in place of our old companion and ex-Chief, Otis Cushing. The engineers have labored zeal- ously for the interest of the department, and although some changes in its membership have been made, still the good - feeling between the companies in different parts of the town which has existed in the past still continues, all the members manifesting pride in the work of the department, and show- ing courtesy and respect for their superior officers.
The department consists of 168 men, besides the engineers, as follows : -

PAY OF FIREMEN.
At the request of the Weymouth Fire Relief Association we would recommend that in addition to their regular salary of ten dollars the firemen be paid thirty cents an hour for actual services at fires.
By vote of the town $500 was expended for hose, 1,000 feet being purchased and divided among the different wards in town but at the burning of the Acid House at A. A. & C. works, Ward 1, had 350 feet of hose destroyed by the acid, which leaves that ward at present in a crippled condition, and I would recommend that this amount of hose be replaced and $500 be appropriated for new hose to be distributed in the different wards.
FIRE ALARM.
The Board secured the services of H. L. Humphrey as superintendent of the alarm for the year. Mr. Humphrey has the interest of the department at heart and the engineers as well as the citizens of the town are unanimous in their opinion that his appointment is one for the best interest of the town. The following is Mr. Humphrey's report : -
This branch of the service is in good condition and no serious trouble has happened to it the past year. The line has been rebuilt from Central Square to Thomas's Corner on account of the relocation of the street railroad poles, and as this happens in some parts of the town every year at consid- erable expense to the town we would suggest to the Select- men that when a permit is given to a company to relocate its poles that they should bear part of the expenses of changing the town wires.
A petition for a new box on Union Street was received by us signed by a number of tax payers of Ward 5, for which we would recommend $150.
BUILDINGS.
The houses in Wards 1, 3, 5, have been shingled. Ward 2 has been remodeled, new floor laid and other repairs.
153
Ward -5 has also been remodeled. Hose 6 house has been painted. The houses in Wards 1, 3, 5, need painting now.
ALARMS.
Whole number of alarms during the year, 37, as follows :-
Ward 1, 7.
Ward 2, 11.
Ward 3, 8. Ward 4, 4. Ward 5, 7.
Of these four were false alarms; two seconds, both in Ward 1.
There were several fires when no alarm was rung in.
The loss of property in Weymouth the past year was $90,679.10.
