ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
FIRE ENGINEERS.
In accordance with custom and in compliance with the ordinance relative to the Fire Department the Board of Engineers herewith submit their annual re- port for the year ending January 31, 1907, giving a list of expenditures and the condition of the department.
REMARKS.
As is shown in our report herewith submitted, it. was necessary to overdraw our account, as, when we came into office we found that there were many bills left over by our predecessors, which we met, but which compelled us to practice the utmost economy during the year, doing the best we could under the circum- stances. The board recommends that an additional sum be appropriated this year, as there is much new material needed, including wire, alarm boxes and a quantity of hose. The board appreciates the prompt and effective work performed by Chief Proulx in at- tending to still alarms, by which he has made a great

saving to the town. He has been called by telephone many times, and it can be shown where he prevented serious fires in several instances. Night or day, he has ever been ready and willing, and in all he has an- swered 22 still alarms. An increase in salary is rec- ommended for the electrician. When the present sal- ary was fixed, we had about half the number of boxes now in use and about one third less fires to attend to. We also recommend a raise in the salary of the stewards at both houses. There should be another hydrant on Cliff street, near the residence of Peter Jou- bert, and the board recommends that one be there es- tablished. The board has changed box 45 from the corner of Charlton and Worcester streets to the sub- station, on Mechanics street, and has established two new boxes, 47 at the corner of Mechanics and Worces- ter streets, and 51, in front of Richard's knife shop, on Elm street.
There were three unnecessary alarms sent in dur- ing the year, two slight chimney fires and one false alarm. These cost the town more than $150.
During the year there were 17 alarms sent in, one of them a general alarm. In all there were 42 still alarms.
Respectfully submitted,
BASIL PROULX, Chief, GEORGE E. EGAN, Clerk.
