Estimated value of property endangered, $48,140. Estimated loss on same, $10,323. Losses are practically covered by insurance.
FINANCES
The financial report shows an increase in expenditures over previous years, due to the increase of pay of the permanent mem- bers of the Department.
All bills have been paid for the year; the only outstanding ones being those not rendered until after the year ends. We estimate the amount at twenty-five dollars, being for light and telephone.
AUTO COMBINATION
The new anto combination, purchased by the Town, October 31, 1912, has more than exceeded the expectations of the Com- mittee who selected it and has responded to every fire alarm without a hitch. It has been in commission some fourteen months. From January 1 to December 31, 1913, the following is a record of the service and expense of same :
Left the station house
85 times.
Distance travelled
280 4-10ths miles.
Used 2 1-2 inch hose
4000 feet.
Chemicals used
419 gallons
Hours pumped
10 1-2 hours.
Gasoline used
178 gallons
Oil used
13 gallons
Car in service
69 1-2 hours.
As per record of same, the total cost of operating the car for one year, as near as possible to ascertain, and not including de -- preciation is as follows :
Gasoline
$37 50
Charging batteries
4 00
Grease and oil
7 50
Tire charges
67 25
$116 25
97
This amount is an average of $2.23 per week for operating expenses. We have disposed of two horses during, the year. The expense of maintenance is about $4 00 for each horse, per week, not including depreciation. This includes hay, grain, shoeing, veterinary service, repairs on harness, etc. This would mean a saving to the town of about $6.63 per week or $324.75 per year.
In considering the expense of the auto over that of the horse, we must not overlook the time saved in responding toal arms, especially in long runs to the outskirts of the town.
We earnestly recommend that the Town will, as fast as pos- sible, replace the horse-drawn apparatus with the auto. We would recommend that they start this year with a Tractor for the Ladder Truck or the Steamer, also that they rebuild the Green- wood Hose Wagon to a motor propelled vehicle.
CONCLUSION
In co clusion, we wish to extend our thanks to your Honorable Board, and to the Finance Committee for the courtesy and co-operation shown us during the year. We wish to compliment the officers and members of the Department for the prompt and efficient manner in which they have performed their duties. We also wish to express our appreciation to the Chief of Police for for services rendered by his department at fires, and to Doctor Curtis L. Sopher for the great interest which he has shown in the work of the department.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN.
Gentlemen : - I herewith submit my report as Highway Engi- meer for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1913.
Several radical changes have been made in the department, which we hope have proved a decided step in advance. The definite financial plan for several years to come, along with the division of the roads into well defined sections with amounts to be spent in each, based upon their relative mileage, has necessi- tated a new system of cost accounting and bookkeeping. With this new system it is possible for any citizen to find out how, when, and where the money has been expended in his section.
The regular appropriation has been divided into several ac- counts which will be taken up in their order and briefly outlined.
NEW EQUIPMENT
Five thousand dollars was apportioned for new equipment. Of his amount the largest items were for a new portable crushing
.
103
outfit and a gasoline engine and air compressor. This outfit has had a very severe test during the past summer and has given ex- cellent satisfaction, inasmuch as the rock crushed was of an excep- tionally hard and tough nature.
Two new jack hammers of the most up-to-date type were bought for drilling to a depth of six feet. A small scraper has been bought which has saved several times its cost during the past summer, in that it has done with two horses the work of the heavy four-horse scraper. Another labor-saving device has been bought which has proved itself well worth the investment, namely, a scarifier. This weighs about three tons and is provided with adjustable teeth which tear up the old road bed to any desired depth, saving picking by hand or by the roller and doing the work much quicker and better than either. Time and money has been saved to the department by the purchase of a blacksmith outfit and portable forge. This does away with the necessity of carrying the tools to some distant blacksmith shop. Owing to the large amount of work planned for this year it was necessary to buy many more small tools and supplies which go to make up the balance of the amount set aside for this purpose.
FENCES, SIGNS, BRIDGES AND CULVERT REPAIRS
Under this account were charged all small general repairs and general drainage.
CONCRETE SIDEWALKS
All tar concrete sidewalk work where abutters pay one-half, patching, resurfacing, new work replacing worn-out walks and crosswalks, straightening old, and setting new curbing was charged to this account.
PATROL
Cost of cleaning Main, Albion, Water streets and North avenue.
SNOW
Includes plowing and sanding walks and repairs to the snow plows.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Under this was handled such work as could not be charged to the sections. All the supplies, such as pipe, oil, catch basin
104
covers, etc., were charged to this account until they were used in the sections when a transfer was made. All work done at the Valley street ledge and work at the sand pits was handled in the same manner.
General repairs to equipment were also taken care of from this apportionment. A large amount of work has been done to put the equipment of this department in efficient running order. The Val- ley-street crushing plant has been thoroughly overhauled. The en- gine, screens, elevator and crusher have been taken down and all of the bearings re-babbitted. New screens, gears, chutes and partitions have been installed and the plant put in good running order, except for the boiler, which is old and in only fair condi- tion ; and a few timbers that are rotting and need to be braced.
The roller was in such shape that it was necessary to ship it to the factory at Buffalo to be overhauled. It is now in good run- ning order for the coming season.
All of the other equipment of the department is in good repair and ready to be used when needed.
SECTIONS
A number of unpaid bills for 1912 were carried over without any provision having been made for their payment, so they were divided proportionately among the nine districts.
SECTION 1
In this district it was planned to obtain State aid and build a section of permanent road, but this was not received with favor by the Montrose Improvement Association, so nothing but general repairs and oiling was done.
SECTION 2
State aid was obtained to the extent of $1000.00 to pay one- half of the cost of building a section of Lowell street between Pratt street and the Reading line, eight hundred and sixty seven feet long. This was tar macadam construction (two gallons of Tarvia X to the square yard), twenty-one feet wide, six inches deep in the center and four inches on the side, with a three-foot gravel shoulder on the street railway side and an average six fo o
105
loam shoulder on the other. Two culverts were repaired and con- crete headers built on the ends of each. The total cost of the labor and material was $1,765.73.
The balance of $234.27 was spent on Vernon street from Lowell street to the Lynnfield line. This road was scarified the whole length of twenty-seven hundred feet and crowned with a roal scraper. Thirteen hundred feet was given a gravel coating and the rest simply crowned and rolled, making a very much bet- ter road for a very small cost of approximately eight cents per running foot.
The following tables will be self-explanatory as to how the money has been spent in the section.
SECTION 3
The work in this section, as seen by the table, has consisted largely of oiling and general repairs.
Due to a strong demand for something to be done to North avenue it was decided to fill with gravel and give at least tempo- rary relief to the teamsters who have to use this street constantly. This work was started late in the season and required more money than was left in the amount set aside for the section, thus causing an overdraft.
SECTION 4
Besides the general repairs and oiling, a section of tar macadam was built on the south side of West Chestnut street between Mur- ray and Walnut streets, containing 1650 sq. yds. at a total cost of labor and material amounting to $1,086.18. Next spring this is to be given a final coating of Tarvia B which will give the street a smooth, dustless surface.
SECTION 5
The work in this section was also of a general character, no permanent roads being built. Jordan avenue, which has been very muddy in the spring, was filled with rock and given a coat- ing of gravel and rolled. Albion street was treated with Tarvia B and sanded, and the surface is now smooth and comparatively dustless.
106
SECTION 6
Nahant street has been straightened to conform with the County Commissioners' lay-out from Main street to Franklin street and the roadway and sidewalk gravelled. Franklin street, from Orchard street to Nahant street, has also been resurfaced with gravel from the Town Farm.
One hundred dollars has been set aside for a newconcrete sidewalk and curbing near the Junction depot. This work will be done as soon as the first carload of curbing arrives.
SECTION 7
Dustlaying in this section was a large item, due to the Main street construction work. The apparent balance of $333.30, shown in the table, is due to an unpaid oil bill for approximately that amonnt.
Gravel work has been done on Greenwood and Francis avenues, Oak and Green streets. A special effort was made to find a bet- ter grade of gravel for the roads in the two Greenwood sections without satisfactory results.
SECTION S
On the order of the County Commissioners the protruding ledge near the railroad crossing on Greenwood street was blasted out back to the street line and the grade lowered approximately three feet. This was the largest item of the expenditures for this district.
SECTION 9
A new gravel pit was opened on the Town Farm from which was taken a very good grade of gravel. Farm street was wid- ened, straightened and resurfaced with gravel on the Water street end. The rest was crowned with the road scraper and rolled. Nahant street was resurfaced with gravel and the sidewalk re- paired.
PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION
MAIN STREET, GREENWOOD
The new portable crusher was set up on Main street at the ledge near Forest street with the intention of taking the stone
107
from the south end. After drilling for several days it was found that the stone was too hard to be drilled economically and a bet- ter place was found in a trap dike, near the center of the ledge. This stone, although hard to get out, was exceptionally good for street work.
The construction work was started at the end of last year's sec- tion and carried to Green street, making a total of 8206 square yards of new work. This was constructed with a four-inch base and a two-inch tar-filled top, using two gallons of Tarvia X to the square yard. The total cost of the street work was $7,640.28, which included digging foundation, crushing stone, laying ma- cadam and grading the other side of the street with waste mate- rial. The work this year was done sixteen cents a square yard cheaper than that of last year, saving approximately thirteen hun- dred dollars. There were approximately 4,000 tons of stone crushed at a cost of 83,862.51.
The cost of laying 3.221 feet of eight, ten, twelve and fifteen- inch drain pipe, repairing seven old catch basins and building fourteen new brick basins was $2,836.58.
MAIN STREET SQUARE
A large amount of work was done at the Valley street ledge in crushing, breaking, drilling, and stripping the accumulation of loam from the top of the ledge in anticipation of rebuilding the Square. This was first charged to the general maintenance ac- count and later transferred to the Square account. Owing to the lateness of the work of placing the water pipes and laying of the underground conduits and the liability of the trenches to settle, it was thought best to defer the reconstruction work until Spring.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I wish to recommend that the financial plan as outlined this year be continued and that the sections which have a balance due them receive that amount in addition, and those which have an overdraft have that amount deducted from their appropriation. I would also recommend that the Town apply for a sum of money from the Mass. Motor Vehicle Fund to assist in the construction of a part of Salem, Lowell or Vernon streets.
108
In conclusion, I wish to extend to the Honorable Board of Selectmen my hearty thanks for the kind assistance and co-opera- tion during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
O. H. STARKWEATHER, Highway Engineer.
