It is folly to suppose that any man can assume the duties and responsibilities of a policeman (or rather discharge, if he does assume them), merely because he has received the appointment, without any experience or training, even if he has a tact for the business.
229
REPORT OF CITY MARSHAL.
A man wishing to become a policeman and devote his time and energies in that direction would not count the cost were he put on the same footing as in any other business.
The subject of suspensions is something that should receive a modification, or at least allow of a grade of punishments for violating the rules and regulations of this department. I would suggest the idea of reducing to the ranks, or forfeiture of so many days' day, or suspension for a certain length of time, etc., etc., as is practiced in other departments. As the matter now stands the suspended official can only be placed again in his position or dismissed from the force ; the one might be doing an injury to the Marshal, the other to the officer.
The discipline of the force has been such that but little fault has been found by the citizens, and I have to thank the rank and file for general obedience of orders and gentlemanly deportment. One or two cases occurred at the first of the year which reflected upon the force, but the manner in which your honorable body disposed of these, effectually put a stop to further digressions. But two suspensions have occurred during the year, and they were probably the result of carelessness rather than viciousness, neither of which is wanted here.
I have been able, better than ever before, to enforce our by- laws, owing to the vote passed by yourselves in regard to the cases that might be brought before you.
CONCLUSION.
Perhaps in summing up the work and requirements of this department I have dwelt at greater length upon some of the sub- jects than may seem warrantable, but if so, I trust it will be chargeable to the zeal and great interest I have in the same. I mentioned at the commencement of this report the fact of our passing from youth to maturer years in different quarters, and to that I can add that a large portion of that time I have been a member of this department.
More than 21 years have elapsed since I was first "mustered in," and eight years of the same I have had the honor of direct- ing its affairs.

CITY. DOCUMENT .- No. 41.
But two members of the "old watch" that were with us at that time are still engaged in the business and those two are Joseph H. Flint and Patrick E. Ratigan, the efficient doormen at Stations 1 and 2 respectively.
To Assistant Marshals Thayer and Atkinson I am under deep obligations, more so, perhaps, from the fact that through them, together with the well seconded efforts of Captain D. A. Mathews, we have been so successful in our efforts in regard to seizing and repressing the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors, and in connection herewith, Sergeants Ranger and Walsh of Station 2 are entitled to much credit in this direction. Each division has attempted to enforce the laws with impartiality, and the best of fellowship has prevailed.
To the heads of the other departments I am under great obligations, and more particularly to the Clerk of the Central District Court, who has ever been a constant friend, and night and day has done his best to assist us in our work.
To His Honer the Mayor my obligations are greater than words can express. His unqualified support extended to me on all occasions has made many of my duties a pleasure. I have only to add that I have endeavored to make the police efficient and worthy of the confidence of the citizens of Worcester.
Respectfully submitted.
W. ANSEL WASHBURN, City Marshal.

As the question of license or no license for the sale of intoxi- cating liquors is supposed to have some bearing on the amount of dole given out at this office, we have appended a table giving the amount for each of the months during the present year in which there has been no license and the corresponding months of 1885, in which licenses were granted, in order that it may be seen what has been the effect on this department.

CITY ALMSHOUSE DEPARTMENT.
On Thursday, October 21st, the Board of Overseers of the Poor with the City Council and invited guests met at the Alms- house for the annual inspection. All parts of the house were looked over and the other buildings and grounds were examined. Everything in and about the premises was found in its usual sat- isfactory condition, and various remarks to that effect were made by all parties.
The company were then invited to partake of a lunch which was served in the well-known manner of the Superintendent.
On the 18th of November the Board met at the Almshouse for the purpose of making the annual appraisal. A full inventory

Our last annual report contained the two following recom- mendations, but as no action has been taken in reference to them and we think the case urgent, we repeat them :-
" We call your attention to the oven in the basement of the main building, built at the time the house was erected, and cal- culated for a family not half as large as at present; and, as it has to be run continually, and is not half large enough, it is frequently over-heated and dangerous. We recommend that a new and large one be built the present year, otherwise it will be impossible to supply the large amount of bread required by the inmates.
" We also recommend the finishing up of the attic of the west wing, in order to utilize the whole building as far as possible,
238
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 41.
as, although there have been two additions within five years, still the whole is occupied, and there is now not more spare room than would be needed for twenty more persons, and with the ordinary increase, it follows that we shall probably need a further addition to the building in the near future."
As we now think that the time referred to fully arrived, we recommend that during the present year the walls of the one- story part of the north wing be carried up to. the full height of the rest of the building, thereby utilizing what has already been expended in the cost of foundation, and giving rooms much needed in the proper management and care of the insane, at a comparatively small cost.
We would also call your attention to the communication of this Board a year since in reference to the extension of the city water-pipes, from their present terminus at Adams Square to the City Almshouse, as, although there is a limited water supply there now, it has on more than one occasion fallen so low as to be only sufficient for two or three days' supply, and in case of fire would have been an entire failure, and as there are $25,000 worth of wooden buildings and $45,000 of brick structures, it would seem prudent at least that some sure means of preventing an entire conflagration of them, in case of emergency, should be provided.
During the past year, a long-needed addition has been made to the horse-stable, at an expense of upwards of two thousand dollars, by means of which we have been able to vacate the basement previously occupied in part by the Scavenger depart- ment horses, and use the same as a place of shelter for the wagons.
The barns and outbuildings have also received a coat of paint, whose putting on had already been too long deferred, and all of them are now in most excellent condition.
The number of persons who have been supported at the Almshouse for a greater or less part of the year has been one hundred and eighty-six, ninety-nine males, and eighty-seven females, of whom sixty-one males and fifty-four females, or one hundred and fifteen persons, remain as inmates at the present time.
