FIRE DEPARTMENT.
RULE 11. Riding on the apparatus when returning from an alarm of fire is prohibited except that the engineman, or his assistant, may, if necessary, re- main in the tender to do such work as may be required to be done; also mem- bers of the department who may have been disabled while on duty. Members will form in single or double file, either on the sidewalk or street, and walk abreast of their apparatus in returning from a fire.
RULE 12. Members in charge of engines at fires will never allow the water pressure to exceed eighty pounds unless specially ordered to do so by the chief or any assistant engineer.
RULE 13. While on duty at fires the greatest degree of silence compatible with the efficient discharge of duty will be required, and noisy conversation or boisterous conduct will be considered a breach of the rule.
RULE 14. Special report must be made to the board, by the foreman, of the absence of any member under his charge, from alarms of fire, giving the date and cause of such absence. This report will be made monthly.
RULE 15. Whenever at a fire the services of members are not actually re- quired, they shall remain at or near their apparatus unless otherwise ordered, and they will bear in mind that in service they are working for a common cause, and that wherever useful, under command of an engineer, there is their place of duty.
It is expected that they will be courageous without recklessness, and strictly obey all orders of superiors; and cowardice, shirking of duty, or dis- obedience of orders at fires will be looked upon as grave offences, and will be followed by immediate suspension or dismissal from service.
Any of the foregoing rules may be repealed, altered or amended by vote of a majority of the board of engineers, subject to the approval of the Mayor and Aldermen. Notice of the same having been given in writing of such in- tention at a previous regular meeting.
Adopted by the Board.

INSTRUCTIONS TO KEY-HOLDERS.
1. Alarms should be given from the box nearest the location of the fire.
2. Upon the discovery or positive information of a fire, you will unlock the box, pull down the slide or hook once only and let go. This will give the desired alarm all over the city, repeating itself four times. After giving an alarm, always remain by the box until the arrival of the Department, so as to direct them as to the location of the fire.
3. Each box contains a small bell, which, if heard before you pull the hook indicates that the alarm has been previously given from another box; in such cases do not pull the hook until you are sure the alarm has been com- pleted.
4. NEVER SIGNAL FOR A FIRE SEEN AT A DISTANCE; never touch the hook except to give an alarm of fire. Give an alarm for no cause other than actual fire.
5. Alarm bells are located :- First Unitarian Church, Court Hill; First Baptist Church, Salem Square; Bell Tower, corner Pleasant and Oxford streets; Steamer Two's House, Beacon street; Hose Two's House, corner Grafton and Providence streets. Also Steam Gong at Grove street Wire Mill.
6. Never let the key go out of your possession unless called for by the Superintendent of Fire alarm telegraph. If you change your residence or place of business where the key is kept, return it to him at
HEADQUARTERS, NO. 80 FRONT STREET.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON WATER.
To the Council of the City of Worcester:
In conformity with an ordinance of the city, the Joint Stand- ing Committee on Water submit their report, with those of the Water Commissioner, Water Registrar, and City Engineer, for the year ending November 30th, 1881.
WATER SUPPLY.
The question of an additional supply of water for the city has been one which has occupied much of the attention of the com- mittee during the past year. Their report accompanied by that of the City Engineer, which was submitted to the City Council in June, was prepared under long and careful consideration and we deem it comprehensive in its details, to which we can supple- ment nothing of vital importance.
The supply of water the past year exceeded the anticipations of many, and the quality of the same was excellent. As will be seen by the report of the Commissioner, the quantity of water stored in Lynde Brook Reservoir on the thirtieth day of Novem- ber, 1881, was forty-five millions of gallons in excess of that at a corresponding date last year. This quantity seems limited for a city to rely upon, and as applications are being received con- stantly for extensions, and the growth of the city steadily in- creasing, we would recommend that action be taken the coming year in the matter of taking an additional supply of water. The
23
334
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 36.
necessity of a supply which is ample for the wants of a city like ours is obvious, and the possession of a quantity adequate for all emergencies forms an important feature in the growth and wel- fare of any community. The city is fortunate in having the right to take the water of Tatnuck Brook, and the conviction in the minds of the committee that action in the matter of future supply should not be too long delayed, prompted them to sub- mit the foregoing recommendation.
THE DEPARTMENT.
The affairs of the Department have been satisfactorily man- aged and for details we refer to the reports of the Commissioner and Registrar. A great amount of work has been consummated during the past year, and much more remains to be performed the coming season. Breaks are constantly occurring on the cement-lined mains, and more frequent than formerly. This state of things causes heavy damages for the city to liquidate, in- curs a great loss of water, and creates unpleasant feelings in the minds of citizens, especially with those who have been often sub- jected to the annoyance resulting from such occurrences. We would recommend that a certain portion of the annual appropri- ation be expended for the purpose of substituting iron for cement- lined pipe.
RESERVOIRS.
The committee have visited the different reservoirs during the year and with the exception of Bell Pond find the same in good condition. This basin is of immense value to the city and we con- cur with the Commissioner that it should not longer be neglected. Much vegetable matter remains which should be removed, and the surroundings of the pond could be greatly improved, thereby resulting in a better quality of water.
REMARKS.
The revenue derived from water rates is larger than that of last year, and the amount appropriated for Sinking Funds from
335
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMITTEE.
the receipts of rates was $44,416.52. The result is gratifying when we consider the low rates assessed, with an expected de- crease in revenue caused by change from estimated consumption of water to that of meter measurement.

WORCESTER, December 19th, 1881.
REPORT
OF THE
WATER COMMISSIONER.
To the Joint Standing Committee on Water :
GENTLEMEN : - I respectfully present the following report for the year ending November 30, 1881.
The depth of water in Lynde Brook Reservoir, December 1, 1880, was 21.66 feet, 15.74 feet below the waste-way; this was gradually drawn till February 10, 1881, when there was 12.37 feet or 25.03 feet below the waste-way, which was the lowest for the year. The quantity on hand December 1, 1880, was 220,434,000 gallons, on hand February 10, 1881, 93,579,000 gallons, as 54,000,000 gallons were below the bottom of the outlet gate and two feet or 22,000,000 gallons of the top were frozen, only 18,000,000 gallons or six days' supply at three million gallons per day could be drawn.
The boilers and pumps at New Worcester were examined early in February, and put in order to run at an expense of $762.77 for repairs and pipe connections, but very fortunately the rain-fall February 11, was sufficient to raise the water beyond the necessity of pumping; from this time the water rose till June 15, when 36.70 feet was the highest for the year, seven-tenths of a foot below the wasteway. This gave 651,- 973,000 gallons. November 30, 1881, the water was 24.30 feet, 2.54 feet more than at the same time last year.
The daily height of the water and rain-fall for the year are given in Table A. The rain-fall as recorded has been 41.17 inches, 1.27 inches more than for the previous year.
337
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONER.
The usual amount of work has been done clearing the land near the reservoir.
BELL POND.
This reservoir with an area of eleven acres and capacity of thirty million gallons, located so near the city, at an elevation high enough to supply all that is now supplied from the low service and connected as it is with our system of distribution, is of too great value to be longer neglected ; besides supplying the Lunatic Hospital, water is frequently drawn from here for the city in case of emergency. No work has been done at this reservoir since the floating mass was removed in 1877.

The appraised value of stock and tools on hand as per inven- tory, is $28,287.44.
The number of feet of pipe laid for the extension of mains is eleven thousand two hundred and thirty-two (11,232) feet, or two and thirteen hundredths (2.13) miles.
A twelve-inch cast iron pipe was laid in Front street, from Main street to Trumbull street, in place of cement-lined of the same size, and twelve-inch laid in Southbridge street, from Lafay- ette street to Jackson street, in place of four-inch taken out.
The number of feet of pipe relaid is one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight (1,848).
Table B shows the number of feet and size of pipe laid, number of feet re-laid and number of gates and hydrants set during the year.
In Table C is given the number of feet of each size of pipe and number of gates and hydrants in the city.
The number of new services laid is three hundred and thirty- one. Number of feet of service pipe laid at the expense of the city is six thousand three hundred and ninety-four (6,394), and seven thousand eight hundred and seventy-two feet at the expense of applicants. There has been laid for temporary mains on several streets, to supply parties beyond the terminus of pipes, four thousand three hundred and eighty-six (4,386) feet of one-inch, and one thousand three hundred and thirty- four (1,334) feet of three-quarter-inch pipe; in each case the expense of labor was paid by the party thus accommodated.
Table D gives the number of feet of service pipe laid in each year.
The number of meters set is four hundred and sixty-four (464).
The number of new hydrants set is twenty-five (25), located as follows :
Barton Place, opposite Patrol building.
Britton street, corner Lincoln street avenue.
Crescent street, corner Garden street. Fox street, corner Water street. Fox street, corner Ingalls street. Front street, opposite City Hall.

Eight hydrants have been taken out and replaced with new. Thirty hydrant boxes, forty-two gate boxes, and fifty-three stop boxes have been replaced.
The number of leaks repaired is one hundred and thirty-eight (138), fifty-two more than the previous year. On cement-lined pipe ninety-six, viz .: rust, seventy-nine; joint, seventy-four ; branch, pick hole, trench settled one each. On cast iron pipe, sixteen, viz .: joint, eleven ; split pipe, plug, branch, frost, trench settled one each. . On service pipe twenty-six.
The cost of repairs, including expense of repairing streets and amount paid parties for damage by water is $4,522.82.
In several streets the pipe now in, while of sufficient size to supply the ordinary demands for water, in case of fire, would not be large enough to maintain an even pressure with two or more hydrants open at the same time, and I respectfully suggest that larger pipe be laid as has been recommended in former reports, and that cast iron pipe be laid in place of the cement lined in streets where leaks have been frequent the last year.
If only a limited appropriation should be made for construc-
340

tion account the next year I think true economy would suggest that the money be expended in this way in preference to further extension of mains.
Respectfully submitted.
