It has been my aim to conduct the affairs of the department with prudence and impartiality.
The total number of arrests have been considerably less than in 1898, but that does not show a lesser amount of work. The amount of court receipts have been more than in the previous year. The arrests for drunkenness have fallen off, but the commitments to penal and other institutions have been greater.
Each year there are more calls for police protection, and one. or more officers must be sent when a request is made. People are, almost hourly, coming to the office either for advice, inquiry, or to
72
make a complaint, which of course makes it necessary for someone to be there to give them, if possible, the desired information.
The police department should not be looked upon as a source of revenue, but rather one of expense, and the result judged by the good order and freedom from serious crime.
I believe the laws have been enforced as strictly as possible under the circumstances. There have been cases where we have been satisfied of the guilt of certain parties, but as the required evidence to convict could not be obtained no action was taken.
The town has grown, probably, to about six thousand inhabi- tants, while our police force remains the same as for many years. The standard, I believe, is one police officer to each one thousand inhabitants, and if this be true we have but one-third the number required. I do not think it good judgment to wait until some great calamity has come upon us before our police force is enlarged.
In conclusion, I desire to extend to your Honorable Board my sincere thanks for timely council and encouragement in the dis- charge of my duties. Not forgetting the many citizens who have in many ways rendered valuable assistance.
To the Judges and Clerks of the Courts, I will say that I am under great obligations to them for advice and good council during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC D. MERRILL, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :
We respectfully submit the following report for the year end- ing Dec. 31, 1899:
ALMSHOUSE.
Total number of inmates 8
Died during the year
2
Number discharged
2
Number at present time
4
Sickness and death during the year have caused a material in- crease in the expenses, which we regret but could not avoid. The expenditures on account of this branch of our department were still further increased by our being obliged, or rather we believed it to be good business judgement, to add to our live-stock, purchase a new harness and otherwise replenish the stock and fixtures in order to keep the Almshouse and Farm in first class condition, thereby placing the Superintendent and Matron in the position to make a good showing in the way of receipts, which expense is offset by a handsome increase over the previous year in the value of personal property at the Almshouse, shown in another part of this report.
The very able manner in which the Superintendent and Matron have handled the many trying cases with which they have had to deal during the year calls for our hearty commendation ; and we
80
believe from the reports we have received from citizens who have called on them at various times that the public is appreciative as well.
POOR OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
During the year we have partially supported fifty-four persons properly dependant upon the town and entirely provided for nine inmates of Insane Hospitals.
In order to reduce, if possible, the expense of this part of our work, we would recommend that the Overseers of the Poor be in- structed to employ a town physician at a stated salary, the expense to be charged to the regular appropriation. For detailed statement of the receipts, expenditures and appropriation we respectfully refer you to same in succeeding pages of this report.

To the Citizens of Reading :
The tenth annual report of the Board of Water Commissioners: is respectfully submitted.
Attention is called to the item listed "Lime House," in the Construction Account, amounting to $740.69. This expenditure was made for the purpose of constructing an apparatus for feeding lime into the aerator automatically. This work has been done by an attendant, and has required his almost constant attention and presence, at an outlay of $547.50 annually.
The vote of the Town relative to the extension of the mains on Walnut street has been carried out at a cost of $1,195.20.
It has been impracticable to extend the main along Franklin,. Haverhill and Wakefield streets, but soon as practicable this exten- sion will be made, to conform with the vote of the Town of Nov. 7,1899.
