REPORT
OF THE
CHIEF ENGINEER.
ENGINEER'S OFFICE, Worcester, February 7, 1859. To the Honorable City Council :
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor respectfully to submit the following Report : showing the doings of the Board of Engineers for the year ending December 31, 1858; the amount of money expended by them, and also the amount paid out under the City Ordinances, making in all, the entire cost of the Fire department ; the number of alarms, and the cause and extent of all fires that have taken place during the year, as well as could be ascertained ; the amount of insurance on property destroyed; and the present condition of the department.
On the first of May, last, by dispensing with the services of Engine Company No. 4, and the Fire Police, and reducing the number of men in the Hook & Ladder Companies, from 30 to 25 men each, the number of men in the department was reduced from 382 to 307, thereby curtailing the expenses for the present year about $1,700 00. By keeping Engine No. 4 in constant readiness for use, the Board believed that this retrenchment might safely be made, and still ample protection be afforded our citizens against the ravages of fire. Thus far, the correctness of that decision is sustained. Although the number of fires has been greater than usual, and many of them of a difficult nature and threatening aspect, the department has proved itself equal to every emergency, having, in every case, successfully extinguished the fire and averted the danger.

The department, as at present organized, consists of 307 men, as follows :

On the 31st day of December, all the Engines and other apparatus were in good order and condition. On the next day, Jan. Ist, as you are aware, an explosion of gas at the Engine House on Pleasant street, completely destroyed that building, with all its contents. It contained, among other things, Engine No. 4, with Hose Carriage attached, and Eagle Hose Carriage No. 3. The apparatus destroyed is considered almost indispensable to the department, and we anxiously await an appropriation for replacing it. Although the Engine was not manned, it was kept in order for immediate use, and was confidently relied upon in case of emergency. It was also used as a relief, while others were undergoing repairs.
I cannot too strongly urge upon you the importance of a reservoir near the City Square, of a capacity sufficient for the protection of property in that vicinity ; our only resource, now, being the aqueduct, and that, in its present condition, would be totally inadequate, in case of a fire of much extent.
There are, also, numerous places along the various streams that run through the Centre district, where there is sufficient water for Engines in case of fire-though from shallowness, and other causes, at present unavailable - but which might, at a small expense, be made a valuable addition to our means of defence. I would recommend that measures be taken to put such places in a suitable condition for the use of the department.
I think I may safely say that the chances for getting water from streams and wells have decreased- one-half since the intro- duction of the aqueduct, and a timely attention to it may be the means of saving much property which might otherwise be lost.
In conclusion, I would improve this opportunity to say, that, though truly grateful for the confidence heretofore reposed in me, I most respectfully decline being considered a candidate for re- election.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
L. W. STURTEVANT,
Chief Engineer, W. F. D.
REPORT
OF THE
AQUEDUCT COMMISSIONER.
WORCESTER, January 8, 1859. To the Mayor and City Council
of the City of Worcester :
Herewith I present to your Honorable Board, my Report of the expenses and earnings of the Aqueduct department, from the 1st day of July to the 31st day of December, 1858.
The expenditures for the past six months have been much larger than for some of the past years. The Aqueduct has been extended about 600 feet, on the Bloomingdale Road. The pipe on Green street has been lowered, at an expense of about $50 00, in consequence of a sewer which was put in said street in 1857, leaving the pipes exposed, so that they were frozen during the past winter (1857). At the first of November the amount of water in Bell Pond was so small that I informed most of the water takers that it would be impossible to furnish them with water after that time ; and if water had not been obtained from another source, but few of the water takers could have been supplied. By an order of the City Council, I was authorized to contract with Wm. T. Merrifield, to run a pump for the term of six months, and to do all the work necessary for furnishing water for the pumps, and connecting the pipes from the service, or draft pipes, with the main pipes. In pursuance of the above order, I contracted with Wm. T. Merrifield to furnish power to run a three plunger force pump, (the pump then owned by the city,) at the speed of fifty-five revolutions per minute, and ten hours per
18
134
day, for the term of six months (working days), for the sum of two hundred and twenty-five dollars, from the 7th day of Decem- ber, 1858. I also contracted with John Gates, for the water in a spring in his lumber yard, for the term of twelve months, for the sum of fifty dollars, from the 7th day of December, 1858. Since the 7th day of December last, the water furnished has been partly from the spring above mentioned, and the other portion from Bell Pond. The amount of water furnished from the first of July to the first of November, as near as I could estimate it, was about eighty thousand gallons per day. Since the first of November there has not been as much taken from the Pond. Some of the water takers were then shut off. There are some places where water is taken that are not so much entitled to it as some that have made application and cannot obtain it. I think it should be supplied to all private dwellings that may want it for culinary purposes, instead of supplying many of the larger public places, which now consume the most of the water furnished from Bell Pond.
By an Ordinance of the City Council, new rates and rules were established for the prices at which water should be furnished, after the first day of November, 1858, which made all bills paya- ble within sixty days. But I made out no bills at that time, as the City had no water to sell; and none were made until I was sure of having enough in reserve for the purpose for which the Aqueduct was constructed. I have now delivered to the City Treasurer a list of the water takers, with the amount each is assessed, for the term of six months from the first of November, as required by the ninety-eighth Ordinance.
The number of water takers at this time is one hundred.
The amount of their bills, as delivered to the City

The Aqueduct has been kept in good condition, and is now in good order. There have been five new hydrant boxes put in this year, in place of old ones, that had become decayed. Those on hand will be wanted the present season. The amount of water which can be furnished from Bell Pond, I think, can be made to to supply the present number of water takers, if care be used by the consumers.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. D. CHEEVER, Aqueduct Commissioner.

REPORT
OF THE
CITY MARSHAL.
CITY MARSHAL'S OFFICE, JAN. 1, 1859.
To the Honorable City Council :
GENTLEMEN : - On the tenth day of November last, the Chief of the Police Department received an accidental wound which prostrated him upon a bed of suffering, and on the thirteenth day of the same month he died. By his death the Police Depart- ment was left without a head, whereupon his Honor the Mayor designated the undersigned to act in the capacity of the City Marshal. Acting in that capacity, it becomes my duty to submit the Fourth Quarterly Report of the Police Department, giving you a synopsis of the condition and doings of the department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1858.
The Police Department of this city is composed of nineteen officers, of which number nine are employed as " night police," being required to patrol the streets of the city, protecting to the best of their ability the persons and property of the citizens. Three only of the constabulary force, making up the balance of the department, have given their regular attendance at the Police Office, so that in fact twelve men only have comprised the active force of the department. Upon public days, as for instance, the Firemen's Muster, the active Police has been augmented by the appointment of an extra force, and during some portion of the summer months an extra day force has been on duty during the Sabbaths, to preserve the order and quiet of the city.
137
As a general thing, although the force employed in active duty has not been so large as in some former years, the administration of this department of the government for the past year has been successful. No outbreaks have occurred, none of our citizens have experienced any heavy loss from the operations of burglars or thieves of any description, excepting the few " breaks" during the Firemen's Muster. Life and property have been safe within our borders, our citizens have pursued peaceably their ordinary lawful occupations during all the year, while their families have remained quietly in their domicils, with none to molest or make afraid. Nevertheless, law has to a certain extent been violated, and men have in too many instances surrendered their manhood to the control of their baser passions.
It is a fact worthy of notice that there is an increasing tendency to crime among minors. It is safe to estimate that two-thirds of the petty larcenies committed in this city, are by minors. The youthful appearance of the inmates of our houses of correction and jails, as well as the prisoners' docks in our courts of justice, are sad illustrations of this fact. The late City Marshal has on several occasions directed your attention to the alarming increase of crime among the young of this city, and has also pointed out what he conceived might be a remedy, viz : the establishment of some place where juvenile offenders may be educated and reformed, and the passage of an ordinance forbidding these juveniles from gathering house offal from the dwellings of our citizens. The latter suggestion has already been acted upon, and it is confidently believed that your action and a judicious execution of the ordi- nance, will close up in a great measure the source of much crime among the young. To the first suggestion I respectfully ask your candid consideration, it being one of great importance to the welfare of the young, upon the decision of which will rest to a great extent the future moral welfare of the city.
The whole number of arrests during the year was 930. Of the above number committed to the Watch House, two hundred and forty-two were discharged without complaint being entered against them in the Police Court; the remainder were disposed of as the cause of justice seemed to require. Three hundred and thirty of the above number arrested were not residents of this city.
A large amount of labor is performed every year by those stationed at the Watch House, in providing food and lodgings for those whose necessitous condition compels them to ask assistance
138
of the city. The number of travelling poor has not been as large the past year as during the preceding year, which affords gratify- ing proof that those who seek employment are enabled to find it more readily than during the latter year when all branches of mechanical and manufacturing business suffered a general stag- nation. Two thousand and thirty-one persons have been supplied with food and lodgings at the Watch House during the year ; the cost of providing food for these persons has been one hundred and ninety-two dollars and eighty-two cents, and as formerly, although more properly belonging to the pauper department, this expense has been charged to the Police department. Including prisoners, we have provided lodgings for twenty-nine hundred and sixty-one persons during the year, and this has been done with only twelve bunks or beds. It is sometimes a matter of close calculation with the officers to be able to accomplish the feat of accommodating twenty persons upon twelve single beds. We often lodge as many as twenty in one night. The accommodations for the department are not what they should be, and I trust some provision may be made to meet the daily and nightly wants of those who do business at the Police Office.
The City Marshal and his Assistants have made during the year eight hundred and thirty-four complaints in the Police Court. Of the above number of complaints, two hundred and eighteen were against persons who were non-residents.
THE EARNINGS OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1858.
Frederic Warren, Marshal, from Jan. 1 to Nov. 11, 1858, $492 98 J. Waldo Denny, Deputy Marshal, from Jan. 1, 1858, to Jan. 1, 1859, - - 728 97
John M. Goodhue, Deputy Marshal, from Jan. 1, 1858, to Jan. 1, 1859, 788 93
Watchmen, -
354 02
Total amount of earnings, -
- $2,364 90
Total expenses, - - $7,388 33
Deducting the above total of earnings from the total of expenses leaves the expenses of the department for the past year five thousand twenty-three dollars and forty-three cents, [5,023 43.] Deducting one hundred ninety-two dollars and eighty-two cents, expense of providing food for lodgers, which has as usual been charged to the Police department, we find that the actual expense
139
of the department for the past year has been four thousand eight hundred thirty dollars and sixty-one cents, [4,830 61.] Which is an excess over the appropriation for the Police department of four hundred and thirty dollars and sixty-one cents, the appro- priation for this department being four thousand four hundred dollars. The late City Marshal, Mr. Warren, paid into the hands of Geo. W. Wheeler, Esq., City Treasurer, the sum of one thousand five hundred eighteen dollars and forty-two cents, and the under- signed has paid over to the City Treasurer the sum of four hundred sixty-five dollars and seventy-two cents, amounting in all to one thousand nine hundred eighty-four dollars and fourteen cents, [$1,984 14,] being the balance of earnings for the year 1857 and the earnings of the department for this last year up to October 18th. The balance of the earnings from October 18th will be due after the January term of the C. C. Pleas for the trial of criminal causes.
It is a matter of congratulation, that during the past year no offences of an heinous nature, and no capital crimes have been committed within the city. The 834 complaints that have been made were as follows : For murder 1, arson 1, burglary 6, drunk- enness 324, common drunkards 37, assault and battery 107, disturbing peace 64, larceny 90, selling liquor 68, vagrancy 34, and for various crimes 102. The Police Court having jurisdiction of offences throughout the county, frequently receives complaints for crimes and offences not committed in this city. The murder of which complaint was made as appears by the table, was com- mitted in a neighboring town, and the offender is now in confinement in the State Prison. The complaint for arson was not sustained by the evidence, and the burglaries committed and brought to the attention of the Court were entirely from stores or shops, resulting in no considerable loss of property.
Respectfully submitted,
J. W. DENNY, Acting City Marshal.
