SCHEDULE OF APPARATUS.
The apparatus in service consists of two steam fire engines, 2 two horse hose carriages, two hand hose carriages, two hook and ladder trucks, one supply wagon, one portable fire escape, one life net canvas, one Deluge set complete, including one two way alumi- num automatic valve siamese, one perfection Deluge holder, Hopkins patent nozzles, two perfection holders 1900 style Hopkins patent nozzles, 3200 feet rubber lined hose, 400 feet leather hose.
WATER SUPPLY.
During the past year new hydrants have been added on Main street and Everett street also a long felt want has been remedied by continuing the water service through River, Pleasant, Main, Fiske. and Plimpton streets in Globe Village. There remains at present only one portion of the town, namely, Wor- cester and Charlton streets which are practically with- out fire protection. This section of the town is rapid-
253
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
ly growing and the sooner the water service is con- tinued in that section the better it would be for the in- terest of the town and the residents of the same. We would also recommend that a hydrant be placed at the corner of Main and Morris streets. Total number of hydrants in the town seventy-three.
GENERAL REMARKS.
It may appear to the citizens of the town that the board has had no just cause for exceeding the appro- priation, considering the small number of fires, but it must be borne in mind that we have paid out consider- able money for antiquated bills that were left us as a legacy by former management and were not of our contraction. Five hundred feet of rubber lined hose have been purchased this year, also an Eastman Del- uge set with perfection holders of the 1900 pattern. This new acquisition to the department was justly needed and praiseworthy to quote ex-chief C. E. Wilson, "Your Perfection Holders and nozzles for ease in handling and directing streams in different places give perfect satisfaction." A new bath tub has been placed in En- gine house No. 2 during the year, and boots and coats bought for the members of the department. which they were sadly in need of. 'Iwould call the attention of the citizens of the town to the urgent need of horses for the fire apparatus especially at Globe .Village. For a number of years the Hamilton Woolen Co., has fur- nished horses for that section of the town but this
254
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
year declined to do so. In order to meet the emergen- cy we had to maintain horses there at an expense to the department. The time has now arrived when the town must furnish horses.
Foreseeing the requirements of the new engine house and to meet the general running expenses we would reccommend that the appropriation be $2000.
My thanks are due to the members of the board for their hearty co-operation and the members of the department for their celerity and dispatch in response to alarms, also to the Supt. of fire alarms, for his effi- cient care of the system. Respectfully submitted,
P. N. LECLAIR, Chief. H. C. MOYNIHAN, Clerk.
