and pipes have been removed from the front of these buildings and the new wires have been brought through the walls from the inside of buildings. In view of the four companies located in these two houses having to answer more alarms than any others · in the Town at the present time, the wiring in each house was planned for two circuits to meet changes whichi will have to be made in the fire alarm system at an early date. The tower pull striker on the Park Avenue Church at Arlington Heights was also rewired. A new foundation was put under the striker for this bell: also the frame of the bell was braced to prevent shift- ing of the same, which has caused considerable trouble in the past.
Hose No. 1 House was also wired and a 6-inch gong was placed in this house. The Town Hall building was also wired by this department for the storage battery system ; also wires were run from the interior of building to Box No. 36 on the front of same and to the whistle in the tower, thus doing away with all line wires on the outside of this building. All interior wiring done was installed in the best possible manner and in accordance to the rules governing wiring for high potential currents.
STORAGE BATTERY.
At the March Town meeting an appropriation was made of $500.00 for purchasing a storage battery for the fire alarm system, as recommended. After careful investigation of the various systems in use in the surrounding towns and cities by Chief Gott of the fire department and myself, the contract was awarded to the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Company, of Boston, Mass., this company being the one which installed our fire alarm system some years ago. The system installed con- sists of 74 cells of battery, one battery rack with sufficient shelf- room for additional batteries when required. One four-circuit

slate switch-board, equipped with amineter and voltmeter and all other electrical instruments required on a system of this kind. The advantages of the system over the old gravity battery sys- tem are that it is much cleaner, takes up less room, the current delivered is more constant and it is a great deal more economi -· cal. The cost saved in purchasing of chemicals and other bat- tery materials for the old system will more than pay for the new system inside of two years. The cost of operating the new system is practically nothing.
The terminal switch-board for the fire alarm circuits, also the switch-board for the power wires supplying current to the storage battery, were built and set up by this department. At the order of your Honorable Board I was requested to place this battery in the Town Hall building, and change the fire alarm headquarters from the William Penn Hose House to that building.
UNDER-GROUND WIRES AND GENERAL REPAIRS.
At the adjourned Town meeting in November an appropri- ation was made for the placing of the fire alarm wires under- ground on Pleasant street, and for general repairs to boxes and lines where needed. 10,000 feet of rubber-covered wire was in- stalled in the conduits on Pleasant street, also 256 feet of 2-inch galvanized iron pipe was used between the manholes and boxes. This system was cut into circuit on December 15th, thus freeing the fire alarm system from the worst street in Town to maintain an aerial wire on, owing to the great number of trees. A 22- inch conduit pipe was run up on the side of Town Hall build- ing, in the alleyway between that building and Post Office block. This pipe connects with the under-ground conduits entering this alleyway. A terminal box was placed on the wall at the end

of this conduit, large enough to take all wires owned by the Town for some years to come.
Fire alarm boxes Nos. 25, 36, 39, 41 and 45 have been sent to the factory and had the works inside of same cleaned and re- polished ; also the wire to box bell magnets changed, to conform to the latest methods in use.
Key boxes and keys have been placed on boxes Nos. 25, 34, 35, 39, 4, 45, 54. To give an alarm of fire break the glass in front of key-box, take key and open the alarm box door and pull the hook down once and let go. A keyless door has been placed on Box No. 36 on the Town Hall building. To give an alarm from this box break glass and turn handle to open door. The hooks inside must be pulled to give an alarm. The quickest way to break the glass in these key-boxes is to hit the same with the elbow, if a rock or some other article is not handy. Considerable saving in time should be made in giving an alarm, especially in the night time, by having these keys on the boxes, instead of having to go to somebody's house and wake the people up to get the key. The boxes thus equipped have been painted, and a general painting should be given all the boxes in the spring. New signs have been placed over all other boxes, giving the names of the key holders to the same. The electric air pump for whistle has received a thorough overhauling in the hands of machinists. New bearings have been put on in the place of the old ones, which were much worn; also an improvement has been made in the air connection of this pump. This work was done at a cost of less than $15, which is the first expense on this sys- tem since the same was reconstructed by Prof. Schwamb three years ago.
The whistle machine and all tower bell strikers have beeu overhauled and cleaned by this department.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES.
ALARMS FOR YEAR 1900.
Forty-four (44) alarms of fire, thirteen (13) no school signals and one (1) special signal on Memorial Day, making a total of fifty-eight (58) alarms have been transmitted over the system during the past year, this being the largest number since the ·system was installed.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I would respectfully suggest that a 4-circuit repeater be pur- chased and that the fire alarm system be divided up into four sections, as the method now employed in operating the system is not up to date. Under the present arrangement the whole system is operated on one circuit, and if a wire breaks or any- thing gets out of order the whole system is crippled, until a switch can be thrown in fire alarm headquarters, which about half divides the system. With a 4-circuit repeater only one section would be out of order at a time, consisting of six or seven boxes, instead of the whole twenty-nine boxes, until the switch in Town Hall could be thrown, which would leave it twelve or seventeen boxes out of circuit. As more boxes are needed throughout the Town, especially in the upper section, the changes recommended should be made as soon as possible.
I would also suggest that a gong be placed in Hose No. 2 House, as having to depend on a tower bell striker is rather an uncertain and an unsatisfactory method of receiving an alarm in as important a fire station as this is to our Town in these times.
I would also respectfully suggest that if changes are made toward dividing the fire alarm into more circuits, that all wires of this system be placed under-ground, between Bartlett avenue and Franklin street. From these points they can be easily ex- tended from year to vear, at a small expense, and the aerial line

wire taken down, will be more than enough to do the wiring on the side streets without having to buy any more of this kind of wire.
IN GENERAL.
In concluding this report permit me to return thanks to you, gentlemen, for the support you have given me in the discharging of my duties ; also to the Town Clerk, Mr. B. Delmont Locke, and his corps of assistants. To the chiefs of the Fire and Police De- partments and to the men in their departments I am also greatly indebted, and extend my thanks.

Report of the Engineering Department.
ARLINGTON, December 31, 1900.
To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Arlington:
GENTLEMEN-Herewith I respectfully submit a report of the work done and the expense incurred by the Engineering Depart- ment to December 31, 1900.
The Engineering Department was organized April 1, 1900, the date of the appointment of the Town Engineer.
The work of the Engineering Department consists of the de- signing of all public engineering works; the supervision of the various other special work ordered by the Town government from time to time; the superintendence of sewer construction, particular sewers, and maintenance; the making of all surveys, plans and profiles, estimates, specifications, and marking lines and grades for the several town departments and committees ; the making of assessment plans and computing of assessments for sidewalk and sewers, and the locating, recording and in- dexing of all work and data under the control of the Town En- gineer.
Five assistants have been employed in the department during the year, four permanently and another as the work required. Practically the entire time of one man has been spent on particu- lar sewers, sewer construction and maintenance.
The cost of all engineering has been charged to the appropri- ations of the several departments for which the work was done.
The summary of expenses is as follows :-

No new streets have been accepted this year, but a list (ap- pended to this report) has been compiled of those previously accepted, including the old town ways to December 31, 1900. Their total length by scale is 31.6 miles. The name of Oak street has been changed to Hutchinson road. A double line of car tracks has been laid across the Boston and Maine Railroad on Massachusetts avenue, and a turnout and two crossovers laid
211
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
on Massachusetts avenue, between Pleasant street and Water street; these, with the double line on Broadway, make the total length of electric railway tracks in the Town to December 31, 1900, 10.45 miles.
STORM DRAINS.
Plans and profiles showing locations, grades, manholes and all data in connection therewith of all storm drains constructed from 1896 to 1901 are on file in the Town Clerk's office.
BROADWAY.
In the reconstruction of Broadway to its full width of 64 feet (as laid out by the County Commissioners in 1889) it was found that in order to save the trees it would be necessary to place the edgestone lines at least 10 feet from the side lines.of the street the greater part of the way between Massachusetts avenue and Warren street. The car tracks and paving are 17.2 feet in width, so that there is a travelway of 13.4 feet on each side from the paving to the edgestone lines between these points. From War- ren street to Alewife Brook there were no trees in the sidewalk on the north side of the street, accordingly the sidewalk was here made nine feet wide and an additional foot of space added to the roadway.
The storm drain was completed and catch-basins were pro- vided and placed at suitable intervals and at all changes of grade, also at street intersections, to prevent a flow of water across the intersecting streets.
BRIDGES.
All the highway bridges are in good condition. River street bridge is the only Town bridge of wood construction, and is maintained jointly by Arlington and the city of Medford.
Lowell street bridge is a wooden bridge over the Boston and
212
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
Maine Railroad resting on stone abutments and built in 1886. The bridge is now in an unsatisfactory condition, the span be- ing too great for the timbers in the manner in which they are laid, causing the bridge to vibrate with every passing team. The County Commissioners should cause a new bridge to be built the coming season.
SEPARATION OF GRADES, BOSTON & MAINE RAIL- ROAD.
In accordance with the decree of the Superior Court, Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, filed June 30, 1899, the Boston and Maine Railroad began operations toward the separations of grades on Grove street May, 1900. Work at Brattle street was begun a little later, and then in turn Park avenue, Bow street and Forest street.
The work has been done in accordance with this decree, and the plans approved by the Commissioners. Owing to the late- ness of the season it was impossible to complete some of the de tails of the construction. It is the intention of the Railroad Co. to complete the remaining grading, seeding of slopes, and other details as soon as practicable.
WATER WORKS.
Lines and grades for laying water pipe and miscellaneous data have been furnished the Water Department when requested. Lo- cations of all mains, hydrants and gates laid during the year have been made, recorded and placed on file.
Estimates and specifications were prepared for laying pipe by contract in Forest and Brattle streets, also measurements of ledge and excavation. All extensions and alterations on the water system to date have been shown on the maps and plans of the Water Department. A new small map showing the entire system has also been compiled. The old gates on the low-service
213
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
cement mains have been located and will be recorded for future reference.
Nearly all the service boxes on house connections have been located. This work will be soon completed and the locations recorded.
MT. PLEASANT CEMETERY.
Lines and grades have been given at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery for grading about 3} acres, including plats and avenues. The work has been done under contract with Michael J. Kelley, who was the lowest of four bidders.
. The loam was stripped and stored on adjacent ground con- venient for the final sub-grading. About 4,200 cubic yards of gravel have been excavated and deposited for filling in Meadow Brook Park and along the westerly boundary of the cemetery.
The excavation will be completed and final grading of the sur- face done as soon as the season is favorable.
A final plan showing the lay-out of the avenues and the lots with their areas will soon be finished and ready for future refer- ence.
SEWERS.
The sewers constructed this year were in the Crescent Hill. District and Medford street, and comprise a total length of 0.65 miles. This work completed the contract made with H. A. Hanscom and Company in 1899 for building sewers in Section Seven of the Arlington Sewerage System.
The total length of sewers laid in the Town to December 31, 1900, is 20.75 miles, of which 3.47 miles are controlled by the Metropolitan Sewerage Commissioners.
The total connections with the sewers number 557 and the area drained is about 1.6 square miles. The entire system has been thoroughly cleaned and examined and is in first class con- dition.

214
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
All sewer plans and records are being compiled to date. Reference is made to Sewer Commissioners' Report for details of sewers.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Parks. Trenches for draining a portion of the low lands ad- joining Meadow Brook Park were dug and connected with Mill Brook. Plans were made and titles looked up, of Alewife Brook and adjacent territory, also line for a fence was given on Med- ford street.
School. All preliminary work relating to the grading of the Cutter School lot and the laying out of the walks has been com- pleted. Levels and grades were also given for the drainage of the lot.
Fire Alarm. Plans showing the location of the Pleasant street conduit manholes have been made for the use of the super- intendent ; also a plan showing the location of fire alarm boxes to date is under way.
The total length of the wire conduits which have been laid in Pleasant street and Massachusetts avenue during 1899 and 1900 is 3.90 miles.
Office Work. It has been the aim during the year to keep ac- curate records and plans of all the engineering work done by the several departments. At present there is no adequate place for the storing of the valuable plans of the Town work, which are constantly accumulating. The great value of these plans as records demands that they be kept in a vault or safe. As the present one is much over-crowded, space must soon be provided elsewhere before the plans are destroyed, owing to the rough usage which they now sustain.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT W. POND,
Town Engineer.
