REPORT OF THE CIVIC CENTRE COMMITTEE "
The committee has taken pleasure in carrying out the vote of the town and completed the construction of the grounds at the Centre. The appropriation was not exceeded.
The next five years will show a very marked im- provement in the appearance of the grounds, as the trees and shrubs will need that time to develop. The area back of the high school building was fenced off to keep autos away from the newly seeded ground until the sod was well formed.
Of course much will depend on the care given the grounds, and it is hoped that all, both old and young, will take pride in keeping this "homestead" in condition worthy of the town. Townspeople and visitors as well as pupils of the school can do much along this line.
We recommend that the grounds be turned over to the Park Commission for general care and oversight, and that they, in conjunction with the School Committee, be empowered to make such rules and regulations governing the use of the whole area as shall be for the best interest of all.
We recommend the raising of a small sum for the erection of a Band Stand, and that an annual appropria- tion be made for the care of the grounds under the direc- tion of the Park Commission.

SCITUATE FIRE DEPARTMENT BOARD OF ENGINEERS
Scituate, Mass., December 31, 1925.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
The engineers appointed by your board, met in ac- cordance with your instructions, and elected the follow- ing officers: Chief, Ernest R. Seaverns; Assistant Chief, Maurice O'Hern; Second Assistant Chief, Louis E. Cole; Clerk, Albert F. Turner; District Engineer, Philip L. Schuyler.
During the year we have purchased one thousand feet of double jacket hose, five rubber coats, and five pair of firemen's boots for each company. The fire alarm was put into operation about the first of the year, and it has rendered efficient service in keeping the fire losses small, in view of the fact there were more fires than any pre- vious years. The property damage was very slight, with the exception of the house at Brierwood which was a total loss. The selection and purchase of a lot, upon which to build the new Fire station, at Minot, required some canvassing. But we were at last able to buy a lot from Mrs. Eva Graves, and we think the location is ideal. After careful consideration and conference with Architect and builders, we decided the best interests of the Town was to construct a Fire Station which would meet not only present requirements but future needs. And we feel this building will be not only suitable for the housing of the present apparatus and its caretaker, but is of sufficient size for such additional apparatus which a growing sec-
96
Fire Department
tion will demand, and with all, will constitute a sightly as well as a serviceable building. The history of such buildings is that they increase the taxable valuation of property in their vicinity, and we believe that the in- creased value of such will in a few years more than con- tribute the amount of its cost. We have labored earnest- ly in securing for the Town, at the lowest expense possi- ble, a Fire house suitable for the needs of the depart- ment, and trust that our action meets with your approval. The new pumping engine was purchased with appropria- tion voted at our annual Town meeting, and after pass- ing the Underwriters' test was put into commission. In considering the applicants for driver, we selected Howard Cole, permanent, and Edward Hatton, spare driver. We were fortunate to secure the services of these two faith- ful men, and with the two already chosen at Engine No. 1, we have made a fine beginning.
Following is the list of alarms for the year:
