Also the rebuilding of Eldredge and Church Streets drain.
Many of the concrete sidewalks are badly out of repair, and in several cases dangerous. Public con- venience and safety demand that these defective walks be put in good condition. During the year advantageous purchases were made of gravel lots in Wards 4 and 5. I suggest that in the removal of the gravel from the various pits care be taken to leave the land at proper grade for building purposes. A portable engine and crusher have been recently purchased for use at the gravel lots. This will prove a good investment, saving a large amount heretofore paid for breaking and carting stones to be crushed.
The department is well supplied with modern appliances for doing work upon the roads.
It is the policy of the City Council to require that all streets be thoroughly built before their acceptance. The public convenience and necessity may demand the acceptance of a street, though not properly constructed; and if so accepted, it must, in a few years, be rebuilt at heavy expense to the city.
I see no reason why the Highway Department, with its large plant and gravel lands, cannot construct a street of better quality and at less cost than a pri- vate individual; I would therefore recommend that some equitable arrangement be made by which the abutters or persons interested in laying out a street may subscribe and pay a certain fixed part of the esti- mated or actual cost of such a work. This would
24
secure the construction of streets up to the standard required for acceptance, and would be a benefit to all concerned.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
During the past year there has been a general scar- city of water, and in many localities it has been found necessary to adopt unusual restrictions in regard to its use. While at our city works during the very driest portion of the summer there was no surplus of water, it is a matter of congratulation that the supply has at all times been equal to the demand, and the ac- customed use by the citizens, and for drinking-posts, and street watering has been continued without inter- ruption. The quality of the water is shown by analy- sis to be of superior purity, the only exceptions hav- ing been traceable to local causes. While the ar- rangements for water supply are at present equal to the demand, it will be necessary, as the city grows in population, and the use of city water becomes more general, to make provisions for increase of capacity.
The tendency to build upon high grounds will create the necessity within a few years for a higher service. It would have proved a most fortunate cir- cumstance for the city, I think, had the reservoir been built upon the high land east of its present loca- tion. Sufficient pressure would have then been secured to supply the highest ground likely to be built upon.
25
The pumping station is now in good order. The new foundations, which were put in for the support of the engine, have been thoroughly constructed, and, I have no doubt, will prove entirely sufficient and satis- factory, and require no additional outlay. While the cost attending the alterations was large, it was an im- portant necessity for the safe and certain working of the engine, rendered hazardous by original defective construction. There were laid last year 14,143 feet of water main, making a total of sixty-seven and six tenths miles; 155 services were put in, making a total of 2,740. The number of meters in use is 761. The number of hydrants put in last year was twenty six, making a total of 402. The average number of gallons used per day, in 1883, was 624,381.
The receipts of the Water Department last year were $49,107. Expenditures: Interest on bonds, $50,900; sinking fund, for water debt, $16,000; main- tenance, $13,500; maintenance (special for filtering basin), $2,783.50. The receipts of the department since the introduction of water have been as fol- lows: -

The cost of water to the city is, for the hydrants, numbering 402, at $20 each, $8,040 ; the remainder embraces the supply for schoolhouses and other public buildings, drinking-posts, and street watering.
The liberal use of water for these purposes con- duces largely to the health, comfort, and safety of our citizens. The amount of water used upon the streets is very large, but considered as an economical meas- ure only, it should be continued and extended ; it pre- serves the roads and prevents a very much larger expense for labor and material in making repairs, in addition to which it is worth all it costs for the com- fort afforded to the public.
The management of the water works was, at the beginning of last year, placed under the control of a Water Board consisting of one alderman, one coun- cilman, and three citizens at large, and the result has proved highly satisfactory and successful. This most important department, having in charge property costing at this time $943,100, and having control of affairs so intimately connected with the welfare of our people, requires a well-defined and cautious pol-
27
icy in its management, which can best be accom- plished by retaining members on the board whose knowledge and experience in such matters render them specially qualified to conduct its large and in- creasing business.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This department is thoroughly organized and skil- fully managed, and justly deserves the reputation it has earned, of being among the best in the State. It is composed of seventy-nine men, a chief, assistant chief, fire-alarm operator, three engineers, five perma- nent drivers, and sixty-eight men (including officers), subject to call, who are organized into eight com- panies. The area covered by the Fire Department is twenty square miles.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus comprises three steamers, one hook and ladder truck; seven hose reels, 11,000 feet of hose, and seventeen horses. There are forty-eight fire-alarm signal boxes, and 402 hydrants. During the year 1,000 feet of American jacket hose was pur - chased, and three horses exchanged. The department is now furnished with all modern appliances for prompt and effective work.
The fire-alarm system was adopted ten years ago, and has been proved to be indispensable. There are fifty-three miles of wire connecting our fire alarm, and
.
28
also under the same care, sixteen miles of wire con- necting the city's telephone service. The number of alarms responded to during the year was 101, an in- crease of forty-two over the previous year. The net cost of the department for the year 1883 was $23,- 937.79.
Losses by fire were . $6.056 60
Insurance on the same
160,683 50
Insurance paid on same 4,928 60
Assessed valuation on same
213,790 00
With three exceptions, the apparatus and horses are in excellent order Steamer No. 3, Ward 6, is not in safe condition to run, requiring a new boiler and considerable repairing. Hose Reel No. 2, in Ward 3, is in poor order, and needs extensive repairs; it would be better economy to exchange it for a new one. Another horse is needed for Hose Reel No 5, Ward 4 (Auburndale), in place of the present one, which is entirely incapacitated for work.
The Chief recommends that the various school- houses be provided with private fire-alarm signals, and I heartily indorse the recommendation. Most of our schoolhouses are filled to overflowing with children and teachers, and in case of fire there would probably be a panic, with serious results. The buildings are not insured, the city taking its own risk. By having a special signal box an alarm can be immediately given from the premises, thus enabling a quicker response, by which means lives may perhaps be saved and the property protected.
29
The Chief will renew his recommendations for permanent drivers for the hose reels, for the removal of the police station from Steamer One's house, and that steam heating be substituted for furnaces in the public buildings. His reasons for these and other suggestions will be found in his annual report.
By ordinance, the Chief of Fire Department is inspector of buildings. Special attention has been given to the examination of heating apparatus and flues. During the year one hundred and seven new and ten remodelled buildings have been inspected.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The present force consists. of the City Marshal, one sergeant, one mounted officer, and thirteen patrol- men. The net cost for maintaining the department for the year 1833 was $17,199.57.
While the area to be covered by the police is very large, good order has been preserved throughout the city, and the members of the department have main- fested their purpose to enforce the laws and afford protection to persons and property.
The City Marshal has been in office only a few months, but has become familiar with his duties. His qualifications and previous extended experience will, I have no doubt, render his management satis- factory and successful. The city has been divided into eleven districts, and each officer is given a definite ground to cover; this arrangement of territory is
30
found to be advantageous. It was formerly the practice to require the officers to make monthly reports of their doings to the Chief ; this rule has been changed, now requiring that daily detailed reports be made, thereby giving the Chief immediate information concerning the department.
The telephone used by the Police Department is connected with all the city offices, and an opportunity is given to persons not connected with the department to hear what may be said. To this there is grave objection, as the peculiar business of a police depart- ment requires that the information sought or con- veyed, which is often of a private and important nature, should be known only to the officers for whom it is intended. A private wire for police purposes only should be put up, which can be done at small expense.
The City Marshal recommends the appointment of another permanent officer for duty now performed by specials, as an advantage would be gained by having an officer at headquarters always ready, by night or day, to perform at once whatever duty might be required by the Chief.
At the recent elections, the opinion of our voters was by a significant majority unmistakably expressed in favor of temperance. It will be my endeavor to maintain this excellent reputation which Newton has acquired. Through the aid of the police I shall en- deavor to execute and enforce, without exception, all the rules and ordinances, and the laws of the Com- monwealth governing the city.
31
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I would suggest the importance of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the city ordi- nances, and of the laws and rules which are to govern your action; this being indispensable to insure an intelligent and successful performance of your duty. Possessed of this necessary information, I trust that the discharge of the important duties and responsi- - bilities committed to our care may be so faithful and complete as to merit the approval of our fellow-citi- zens.
