The bills before mentioned being paid by the City Treas- urer, and the balance of $18 83-remaining in the hands of the Commissioners, it is estimated, that an appropria- tion of four hundred dollars will meet the reqirements for the care and further improvement of the Cemetery, the current year, and the Commissioners ask for that appropri- tion, accordingly.
It will be found necessary to grub and grade the ground originally laid out for lots, on each side of some of the avenues, to render them saleable, at any price, and also, to widen, and in some instances, to change the precise location of these avenues, and grade and work them, to make them safe and convenient of passage. The Commissioners deem it also good policy and for the interest of the City, to clear and level, and bring into grass, such reserved plots of ground as may be least suitable for graves, and by plant-
137
ing them with trees, and by other improvements, awaiting the process of time, do that, which good taste and sober thought may dictate, to render this resting place of the dead a fit and graceful resort for the considerate of the living ;- a solace to the mourner ;- and creditable to the city.
By order and in behalf of the Commissioners, LEVI LINCOLN, Chairman. Worcester, January 25th, 1856.

REPORT
OF THE
AQUEDUCT COMMISSIONERS.
-
To the City Council of the City of Worcester.
The Aqueduct Commissioners respectfully submit to the City Council their annual Report, giving an account of their doings for the year 1855, showing the amount of all the receipts and expenditures during the past year, and also the condition of the Water works and property con- nected therewith.
The Aqueduct is in good working order, and has been kept so through the year. All necessary repairs have been made, and several new hydrant boxes have been put in place of old ones which had become decayed.
The whole number of water takers at the present time, not including that used by the City and Lunatic Hospital, is one hundred and nineteen, an increase of eleven during the past year, at an annual rent of about sixteen hundred dollars.
Early in October last, in consequence of the dryness of the season, it was found necessary to either cut off the sup- ply to customers or resort to the use of force pumps. The Commissioners adopted the latter course, and on the 20th, started the pumps belonging to the City Aqueduct, in Mr.
143
Wm. T. Merrifield's building on Union-street, which have been in successful operation up to the present time, throw ing about 16,000 gallons per day, greatly relieving Bell Pond which had become nearly exhausted. The demand for more water is large and constantly increasing; the wells in many places have become dry, or impure, and un- fit for use. There has been a very large number of appli- cants for water the past year who could not be accommo- dated from the present limited supply.
It is the opinion of many of our citizens that a supply of good water can be obtained at a small expense near Grove Mills by the use of a force pump, which in connec- tion with Bell Pond, would furnish all that would be wanted for several years. It would require an outlay of nearly $3,500, to lay a six inch pipe from the aqueduct in Lincoln Square, with such number of hydrants along Grove-street as would be necessary for the protection of property in case of fire in that vicinity, and put a suitable pump in operation. There is no doubt in the minds of the Com- missioners that the additional amount of water rents would much more than pay the expense of running the pump and interest on the cost of the new works.
To operate a pump stationed at Grove Mills that would force 60,000 gallons into the Aqeduct in ten hours, would re- quire nearly a five horse power, which, it is understood, can be obtained for a reasonable compensation at that place.
The water rents have all been collected to the first of No- vember last, except $4 50 which will probably be paid soon.
The whole amount received for water rents the past year is, $1834 76

To the Mayor and Aldermen and Common Council of the City of Worcester :

REPORT
OF THE
CHIEF ENGINEER.
ENGINEERS' OFFICE Worcester, Jan. 21 1856.
To the City Council of the City of Worcester :
GENTLEMEN :- I respectfully submit the following report showing the doings of the Board of Engineers for the eight months ending Jan. 1 1856, the number, cause and extent of all fires that have occurred during that period, and also the present condition of the department and of the buildings and apparatus connected therewith.
In May last, the City Council passed an order authorize ing the Board of Engineers to purchase 500 feet of Lead- ing Hose, to complete and equip Hook and Ladder Car- riage No. 2, to make all immediate and necessary repairs, to introduce gas into Engine Houses, Nos. 1, 3 and 4, and to make the necessary alterations on the Engine House on Main-street, for the accommodation of Hook and Ladder Company No. 2. And appropriating a sum not ex- ceeding $1000, for the above specified purposes.
Of this appropriation and of the general appropriation
147
for the Fire Department, the following sums have been expended.
Paid to Burr & Shaw for 504 ft. hose, - 428 68
66 Hunneman Co., for altering pipes aud outlets of the Engines to fit the couplings on new Hose, 152 08
F'or introducing gas into the Engine Houses, 108 88 For completing and equipping Hook & Ladder Carriage, - 79 53 Repairs and alterations on buildings - - 123 47
For all other purposes including fitting up and furnishing room for Ocean Hose Co., No. 2, furnishing the new House for Engine Co., No. 5, painting and varnishing Hose Carriage and Engine No. 2, ordinary repairs, fuel, lights, new apparatus, oil and other materials, stationery, printing, storage and care of new engine, &c., &.,
345 55
1238 19
A new Hook and Ladder Company was organised in May to take charge of the new Carriage, and a Company con- sisting of twenty-five men, called the "Fire Police," was organized in December, for the preservation of order at fires and for the removal and protection of property en- dangered by fire-the necessity for a well disciplined com- pany of this character having long been felt, especially by those who unfortunately have been obliged to have prop- erty removed.
The Department as at present organised is as follows : L. W. STURTEVANT, Chief Engineer.

Most of the Companies have been full through the sea- son. The Board has adopted a rule requiring the Clerk of each Company to keep a list of the names of all members absent from fires or monthly meetings, and report the same to them at the commencement of each month : an examina- tion of the Registers kept for this purpose will show the actual force upon the ground at each alarm of fire.
On the night of the 31st of May, a fire broke out in the Planing Mill and Carpenters' Shop on Manchester-st., and before it could be subdued, property to the value of some $50,000 was destroyed, on which there was an insurance of less than $12,000. With this exception all the damage by fire to property both real and personal, amounting in the aggregate to something over $4,000, has been covered by insurance.
The Department has been called out 22 times, viz :
May 10, False alarm, caused partially perhaps, by burning rubbish in the yard of the County House.
11, Alarm caused by a pot of tar taking fire while heating on a stove in S. H. Flagg & Co's Machine Shop.
66 27, Fire in the woods in Leicester.
31, Fire on Manchester-street, caused probably by a spark from a Locomotive.
June 14, False alarm.
-
149
June 25, Pond's House on Union Hill, partially burnt, damage about $500, insured $500.
July 7, Fire in a house on Summer-street, caused by car- rying a lighted lamp into a clothes closet, damage trifling.
Aug. 1, Alarm proceeded from a house on Charles-street, occupied by Irish families-cause-The man " tuk sick" and went to bed with his pipe "to have a little bit of a smoke"-no damage done.
6, False alarm.
66 18, Cover of Hobb's Brick Kiln-damage trifling.
21, False alarm.

יו 14, Fire in building on Pleasant-street, owned and oc- cupied by Dea. Griffin and others, the work of an incendiary, damage to buildings and stock, $2,100 ; fully insured.
66 19, False alarm.
". 24,
Oct. 14, Fire out of the city.
20, False alarm.
23, Fire in Maynard's house on Crown-street, caused by heat from the fire range, damage trifling.
Nov. 3, Fire in Munn's office, Main-street, caught in the partition from cause unknown; damage to the building and goods of the various occupants about $500. Covered by insurance.
Dec. 31, Fire at Joseph Lovell's on Main-street, barn burnt, and house somewhat damaged, cause-charcoal that had been on fire and supposed to be extinguished was returned to the coal box; damage from $1000, to $1200-fully insured.
The cost to the city at each alarm of fire besides the wear and tear of apparatus is about $25. You cannot fail to perceive that about one half of the above cases are 13
150
false alarms, most of them are evidently intentional and premeditated. I would therefore recommend that a per- manent offer of a suitable reward be made for the detec- tion of any one engaged in getting up a false alarm of fire.
Schedule of Property belonging to the City and connected with the Fire Department.
Each Engine Company has charge of 1 engine, 1 hose carriage, 450 or 500 ft. 'leading hose, 1 signal lantern, 1 trumpet, 1 shovel and 2 axes-in all, 5 engines, 5 hose carriages, 2300 ft. hose, 5 signal lanterns, 5 trum- pets, 5 shovels, 10 axes.
Each Hose Company has charge of 1 carriage, 600 ft. hose, 1 axe, 1 signal lantern and 1 trumpet-in all 3 hose carriages, 1800 ft. hose, 3 signal lanterns, 3 axes, 3 trumpets.
Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, has charge of 1 Carriage, 1 sig- nal lantern, 1 trumpet, 2 axes, 1 shovel, 12 ladders, 5 hooks, 7 Crotch poles, 8 buckets.
Hook and Ladder Company No. 2, has charge of 1 carriage, 1 signal lantern, 1 shovel, 2 iron bars, 2 axes, 3 hooks, 9 ladders, 1 trumpet, 1 grapling iron, tackle block and rope, and 4 crotch poles. All of which are in good order.
Each Company has also the necessary supply of spanners, belts, ropes, wrenches, hand lanterns, jacks, and furniture for their respective houses.
At the Engineer's office on Carlton-street, there are 7 trumpets, 19 buck- ets, and office furniture.
The Engine house, on Madison-street, formerly occupied by No. 5, is now used for storing the new engine and such other property as is not needed for immediate use. There is stored at this place, 1 engine, 4 old hose carriages, and nearly 3000 ft. hose, much of it worthless and none of it reliable.
There is one hose carriage at Wm. B. Fox & Sons, and there are two ladders stored on Main-street, one of them at Granite Row, the other near No. 235 Main-street. We have not yet felt the necessity for an increase of the De- partment, the present amount of men and means having proved amply sufficient for every emergency, but as the city extends itself and becomes more compactly built, the danger from fire increases and must be met by a correspon- ding increase in the means of defence. I would therefore recommend that the new engine which is now in the hands of the Engineers only for a specified purpose, viz: to
151
store it, be placed in the Department and manned at the close of the present year.
In conclusion I would suggest that the City Charter and Act of Incorporation of the Fire Department be re- ferred to the City Solicitor, to examine and report what parts of the latter are repealed by the former, and conse- quently what the power and duties of the Board of Engin- eers are, according to the two Charters.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
L. W. STURTEVANT, Chief Engineer.
