STREET LAMP LIGHTING.


At this date there are seventy-one (71) electric, seven hundred and fifteen (715) gas, and five hundred and seven (507) oil, lamps used for street lighting, a total of twelve hundred and ninety-three (1,293).


12


The gas and oil were lighted two hundred and fifty-four (254) nights, eighteen (18) of which were extra nights, or in addition to the regular lighting nights.


The electric lamps were lighted for the first time on the night of June 6, and were lighted one hundred and forty- four times, of which three were extra nights.


During the year 1886, the street lamps were lighted twenty- two extra nights, making forty extra lighting nights in two. years. There are about one hundred and ten miles of accepted streets in the city, and about the same of private ways.


The regular lightning of the street lamps for the year 1888, if lighted by the moon schedule, will be as follows, both dates included, -


First lighting, Dec. 31, 1887, to Jan. 19, 1888.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.


FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS.


OFFICE CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT, CITY HALL, December 31, 1887. TO THE HONORABLE THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWTON.


Gentlemen, - I have the honor herewith to submit to you the Annual Report of the Fire Department for the year end- ing December 31, 1887 ; the same being my ninth, and the thirteenth of the present organization.


During the year forty-one buildings were damaged by fire, as follows : -


Totally destroyed 7


Partially damaged 11


Slightly damaged 23


The largest fire and loss of the year was occassioned by the destruction of the Eliot Congregational Church, at Centre and Church Streets, Jan. 16. The first call sent out was from Station 16, opposite the church, at 8.22 A.M., by a citizen who discovered the fire, and a second was immediately sent in, with commendable promptness, by Officer Henthorn at 8.25 A.M. Later on, reserve companies 6 and 7 were called. Efficient service was also rendered by Chief York, in charge of No. 1 engine, of the Watertown department.


4


The building was one of the largest wooden structures in the city, surmounted with a spire two hundred and fourteen feet high, and well on fire when first discovered. The efforts of the Department were directed to holding the fire within the original limits, and were successful, no damage result- ing to surrounding property. The approximate loss upon building and contents amounted to $53,000.


No loss equal to the above has occurred within the city limits since the burning of Eliot and Cole blocks, October, 1873, and January, 1874.


The manual force remains the same as in 1886, except that two permanent drivers have been added, and placed at Stations 1 and 2, very materially strengthening the force at those points. I fail to understand why the increase of the permanent force should be opposed. Five hundred new buildings have been added to the fire risks during the past three years, and the Department still depends upon call. drivers for many of the reels. In case of fire, complaints are made because of the delay of apparatus, the drivers of which, not being permanently employed, may be engaged at their regular occupations, a mile from the station.


Extraordinary good fortune, and efficient service on the part of the force upon the ground, is all that has kept our losses within bounds. Neither are the Chief or Assistant Chief infallible, and their promptness in arriving at fires will not extinguish them if the nearest apparatus remains in its station because no driver is provided. Under the present arrangement satisfactory service cannot be guaranteed in Wards 4, 5, and 6.


The manual force is classed as follows : -

Seven stations - five of brick and two of wood - are owned and occupied by this Department, all of which are in good repair, except that new floors are necessary at Stations 1, 2, 3, 5, and 1 truck. The bell-tower at No. 2 station is unsafe, and the drainage at this station requires immediate attention.


The general condition of the Department horses has been excellent, and reflects credit upon the drivers and the Depart- ment veterinarian, whose report is herewith annexed. The recommendations contained therein I cheerfully indorse, as follows : -


New horse for No. 3 reel, pair horses Chemical A, and possibly one for the Assistant Chief.

HOSE.


Ninety-one hundred (9,100) feet of good hose is in service at the several stations. Five hundred feet of new hose will be sufficient for the present requirements. For quantity, quality, and where distributed, see Appendix.


HYDRANT SERVICE.


Reports from the water department show that sixty-six new hydrants have been erected upon new and old mains during the year, making a total of five hundred and thirty- seven. Additional hydrants are needed, as follows : -


Grove Street, between Woodland Avenue and Han- cock Street . Ward 4


Maple Street and Berkeley Place


66 4


Grove and Auburn Streets


4


Lake Avenue and Beacon Streets


66 6


The city council have authorized the following ex- penditures : -


Five fire-alarm stations.


Three horses.


Fifteen hundred feet of hose.


One bell and striking apparatus.


Two permanent drivers.


8


UNIFORM.


Upon recommendation of the Joint Standing Committee and Chief of Department, the board of aldermen adopted a uniform " Bill of Dress " for the officers and employees of the permanent force, the same to take effect Sept. 1, 1887. A copy of the same is herewith submitted. See Appendix.


INCENDIARISM.


Through the efforts of the police department one incendi- ary was arrested, convicted, and sentenced by the courts to eight years in the State prison.


RECOMMENDATIONS.


That the rapid growth of that portion of Wards 1 and 2 known as Nonantum, necessitates the placing of a station and apparatus at or near Nevada and Watertown Streets ; also in Ward 5, at the Highlands, near the junction of Lincoln and Bowdoin Streets. Additional ladder service is especially necessary in this locality.


That the alterations and maintenance of the several stations be placed under the direct control of the Joint Standing Committee on Fire Department.


APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES.


The appropriation for the maintenance of the Fire Depart- ment for the year ending Dec. 31, 1887, was $26,200, which has been expended as follows : -


Salaries (including 1 driver, 6 months) $16,332 03

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.


In tendering my acknowledgments to his honor the mayor and the city council, to Alderman George Pettee, chairman, and Messrs. J. Edward Hollis, Ellis, W. Redpath, Andrew J. Fiske, and Heman M. Burr of the Joint Standing Com- mittee on Fire Department, I desire to express my sincere appreciation for the hearty and earnest co-operation tendered me in my official position.


To Assistant Chief Walter B. Randlett, and the officers and members of the force, for that earnest support so necessary to the success of our united efforts, and to the several heads of departments and their assistants, for the courtesies ten- dered.


With the tendering of this report to your honorable board, completes, also, thirty years of service, as boy and man, in the Fire Department of this city.


10


During this term many changes and improvements have been noted.


Steam has superseded hand engines ; fire-alarm telegraph, the old-time bell-ringing. A bountiful supply of water has permitted the connecting of "Cheescake Brook" with the Metropolitan Sewage System; and we have witnessed the growth of the country village to that of the "Garden City of New England."


Respectfully submitted,


HENRY L. BIXBY, Chief of Department.


FIRE-ALARM DEPARTMENT.


This branch of the service has been maintained in perfect order, under the personal care of the Assistant Chief. The duties and responsibilities have very largely increased, and will necessitate additional assistance at an early day.


A constant supervision is maintained over a hundred and twenty-two miles of overhead wires, divided as follows : -


4 fire-alarm circuits 65 miles


6 tapper-line circuits 26


1 fire department telephone circuit . . 16 66


1 police department telephone circuit . 10


1 water department telephone circuit 5 66


Forty-nine first, second, and general alarms, together with nine hundred and sixty blows for special calls and signals, have been correctly sent out.


The constant and rapid growth of the city, necessitating


1


11


yearly additions to the system, requires the substituting of a larger repeater at an early day.


Electric light protectors, furnished by the Gamewell Com- pany, have been placed in circuit at fire-alarm headquarters, and those of the National Protector Company of New York for tower bells and station gongs, to protect the instru- ments from injury from possible contact with electric light currents.


By order of the city council five additional signal-stations were purchased, and located as follows : -


114, Eldredge and Vernon Streets.


115, Elmwood and Centre Streets.


226, Washington Park.


72, Centre and Pelham Streets.


331, Margin Street and Boston and Albany Railway Station, making a total of fifty-six public and four private signal- stations.


Where practicable, I would recommend the introduction of the auxiliary system for public buildings and manufac- tories, as well as private residences.


I would also recommend the " keyless door " for such of the stations upon the principal streets as may be deemed necessary.


Additional signal-stations are required as follows : -


Washington and Channing Streets.


Centre and Ward Streets.


Homer and Cedar Streets.


Lincoln and Bowdoin Streets.


Temple and Putnam Streets.


Winthrop and Shaw Streets.


River and Lexington Streets.


12


Petitions have also been received for signal-stations at Chapel and Middle Streets ; Lexington, between Walcott and River Streets; Webster Park ; River and Derby Streets; Waverly Avenue and Kenilworth Street.


These should be erected at an early day.


One person was arrested and fined for interfering with the fire-alarm wires.


TELEPHONE DEPARTMENT.


This department has been maintained as perfectly as cir- cumstances would allow; consisting, as it does, of thirty-one miles of overhead wires, in many places passing through thick foliage, with the many wires of other companies in close proximity, crosses, grounds, and breaks have been frequent. The service, especially the police, has not been satisfactory. The entire duty pertaining to the care of the fire alarm and special telephone circuits, devolves upon one man, and it has been utterly impossible to improve the service. Heavily insulated wire has been substituted where the most frequent troubles occurred, as a temporary expedient.


A separate circuit has been established connecting the water department at City Hall with the pipe yard and pumping station.


The following is a summary of labor performed upon the fire-alarm and telephone department lines by, and under the supervision of, the Assistant Chief of Department.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT VETERINARIAN.


NEWTON, December 31, 1887. HENRY L. BIXBY, Chief of Fire Department.


Sir, - I have at this time to make the usual report of all well, and in making my report to acknowledge the uniform courtesy which has been shown throughout the department to me while in the discharge of my duties, and which has aided the veterinarian in the work of the year.


The horses are at the present time in good health.


There have been through the year only two very severe


14


cases of disease, while the little troubles which always come have been easily met and cared for.


There has been one death among the horses during the year ; viz., one of the pair belonging to Chemical A, from enteritis, or inflammation of the bowels, about two weeks ago. The three new horses bought the present year have done well up to the death of the chemical horse. The only change in the horses that I would recommend, would be the purchase of a new pair for the chemical, and perhaps it would be well to change the horse on Hose No. 3.


I have made during the year fifty-two (52) regular visits, and thirty (30) special visits.


The cases which have come up for treatment have been, -

TELEGRAPH, TELEPHONE, ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER CIRCUITS.


In accordance with the ordinance established by the city council, regarding a supervision of all telegraph, telephone, electric light, and power circuits by the Chief of Fire De-


.

partment, the following summary of said duty is herewith submitted : ---


The lines occupied jointly by the city and the New Eng- land Telegraph and Telephone Company, have been rebuilt by the latter company from the Square on Walnut Street to the Highlands, in a thorough and substantial manner; also from Walnut, on Watertown Street, to Washington Street ; Cherry Street, from Washington to River Street ; and Church, from Eldredge Street to Waverly Avenue. The following lines owned by the above company should be rebuilt the coming year : -


Watertown Street, from Walnut east to Watertown line. Jefferson Street, from Centre Street to Watertown line.


Washington Street, west from Highland Street, to Charles River, at Lower Falls.


Margin Street, from Highland to Chestnut to Hillside Avenue to Otis Streets.


Oak from Chestnut to Elliott and Chestnut Streets.


Walnut, from Lincoln to Boylston Streets, and the removal of wires now upon trees on Auburn Street, from Greenough to Grove Streets, to poles on Auburn Street.


ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER CIRCUITS.


The Newton Electric Light and Power Company have erected six hundred poles and thirty-three miles of overhead wires, under authority granted by the city council.


Connected with the above circuits, and at points desig- nated by the committee on street lights, seventy-two arc lamps have been placed.


At the several railway stations and places of business two hundred and forty incandescent lamps are in use.


17


I would recommend a revision of the present ordinance governing electric-light work, to more clearly conform to the rules issued by the New England Insurance Exchange.


I would recommend that all " overhead " circuits now in use, constructed with wire known as " Underwriters' Wire," be removed as unsafe, and only such wire substituted as shall have received the indorsement of the Insurance Exchange.
