OVERHEAD WIRES IN THE PUBLIC STREETS
Many defective poles have been renewed during the past year, by the Street Railway and Telephone Companies, as well as by the Municipal Light Department, and the pole lines in general are in satisfactory condition. It will be necessary, however, to do a certain amount of this work each year, as the poles require it.
65
In the case of the Street Railway Company-it would seem ad- visable for them to remove their poles and wires which are not now needed on streets where the service has been discontinued, unless there is some immediate prospect of service being restored.
It is reasonable to assume that as these lines serve no useful purpose and will be an added burden to the operation of the road, the expense of maintaining them will be kept at a minimum.
There is a considerable quantity of electric light wire with de- fective insulation which should be replaced with new wire as soon as it is possible to do so.
There are also some improvements needed on poles where telephone wires and street lamps are installed in order to provide proper clearance between the two sets of wires. It is probable that the Municipal Light Department will give these matters attention as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR G. SIAS, Inspector of Wires. Reading, Mass., Jan. 2, 1920.

CLOCK SYSTEM
The department has installed the E.

Having these boxes gives the business section good police protection as the officers go over this every half-hour and we have a clock at the station that registers every box and the time it rings in.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH, TOWN OF READING:
GENTLEMEN :-
The inspection of the milk supply of the Town of Reading has been concluded for another year and the conditions of the same, with few exceptions, were found to be satisfactory.
The, addition of the new testing apparatus to the department was a great help as far as the analysis of the milk was concerned, but it is not as much the standard, as it is the conditions under which the milk is produced, that must be watched and improved.
The sanitary conditions of two of the local dairies have been improved and those of another are about to be. With these condi- tions remedied, I can say that I think the standing of the milk supply has been improved over that of last year.
There are, however, conditions remaining that must be improved before the milk supply can be what it should.
Eighty-four samples of milk and sixteen samples of cream were analyzed this year. Six samples of milk were found to be below the standard and the dealers were warned.
Fifteen stores and eight dealers were licensed to sell milk this year; also eleven dealers were licensed to sell oleomargarine.
The total receipts for the year were $17.00

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN, TOWN OF READING:
GENTLEMEN :-
I herewith present my annual report for the year 1919.
The sealing of all scales, weights and measures in the Town of Reading has been completed for another year. The numbers of the same have shown an increase and I am glad to state that there has also been an improvement in the class of scales in use.
In view of the present high cost of all household commodities considerable time. has been given to the inspection and re-weighing of such articles as flour, sugar, bread, meats, fruits and vegetables. Several pieces of ice were re-weighed and the cases of shortage were found to be very few in spite of numerous criticisms. The re-weigh- ing of coal and re-measuring of coke and charcoal were also given their share of attention.
The gasoline pumps and sale of gasoline required a great amount of attention. Because of its present method of sale, gasoline is rather unsatisfactory and subjected to considerable criticism.
Taken all together, the department found very few cases of ap- parent shortages and these were generally traced to mistakes and carelessness on the part of irresponsive employees.
The total amount collected by the department for sealing and adjusting scales, weights and measures was $60.89, which is a con- siderable increase over that of previous years.

REPORT OF CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN:
GENTLEMEN-I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Department giving a record of the alarms received during the year ending December 31, 1919, and such other information as we believe may be of interest to the Town.
MANUAL FORCE
The Department consists of a Chief, one Assistant Chief, five permanent men (including the chief and assistant) and twenty-five call men.
APPARATUS
The apparatus consists of one (1) Triple Combination, one (1) Combination Hose Truck, one (1) Combination Service Ladder Truck and one (1) Motor Hose Truck.
The Triple Combination is a Knox machine and has been in serv- ice six years and two months. This machine has been painted this year and has been equipped with new cushion tires and is as good as the day it was purchased. The Combination Hose Truck is a Robin- son two (2) tank machine and has been in service three years and three months. The machine has been equipped with United States "Nobby Tread" pneumatic tires this year and is giving very good service.
The Ladder Truck is a Robinson one (1) tank combination serv- ice truck. It has been in service three years and four months and still gives the best of satisfaction. The Motor Hose Truck is sta- tioned in Hose 2 quarters on Woburn Street and was assembled by the members of the permanent force. This is a Ford one-ton chassis with body from Hose 1 wagon, which makes a satisfactory piece of apparatus.
The Department has had the use of the Forest Warden machine on fire alarm work which has made a material saving in horse hire to the Town.
FINANCES
My financial transactions are all embodied in the report of the Town Accountant to which I refer you for any information in that line.
73
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend the purchase of 1,000 feet of 21/2-inch hose this year as I have not two changes at the Central Fire Station. The Motor Hose Truck should be painted and should be equipped with a storage battery and starter. I also recommend pneumatic tires for the Ladder Truck. Although the first cost of these tires seems high I believe they will add years to the length of time the truck will be serviceable.
FIRE PREVENTION
There have been 494 permits issued for fires in the open this year and I wish to compliment the citizens for the manner in which they have complied with this ruling. There have been inspections of a number of places made during the year. In most cases I find con- ditions quite satisfactory but there have been a few that I have been obliged to call to the attention of the owners. The one way that we can have a small fire loss is to prevent fires.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I wish to extend to your Honorable Board, and to the Town Accountant and Treasurer, and Finance Committee, our thanks for the courtesies and co-operation we have received during the year. I wish to compliment the officers and members of the De- partment on the prompt and efficient manner in which they have performed their duties. I also wish to express my thanks to the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company for the use of cur- rent, to the Police Department for services rendered by it at fires, and to the employes of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company for the prompt and efficient service rendered in receiving alarms by telephone.
Yours respectfully,
0. 0. ORDWAY. Chief.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
GENTLEMEN-I herewith submit the annual report of the Forest Warden for the year 1919 as well as such other information that may be of interest to the Town.
The Department consists of a Forest Warden and two deputies, Mr. H. M. Donegan and Mr. Luke McKenney. I have purchased a Ford chassis and built a body to carry forest fire-fighting equipment, consisting of 12 extinguishers, 14 eight-quart cans, Johnson pumps, brooms, shovels, etc.
The Department has been to 19 brush fires this year. None were of a serious nature.
I have investigated 20 calls from the Look-out Station and re- ported back to the tower.
I have investigated all fires and sent the reports of the same to the State Forest Warden.
I have posted fire warnings throughout the wooded sections of the Town which I feel have prevented a large number of fires by bringing to mind the danger of forest fires.
The Department has issued 48 permits for fires in the open.
,
In conclusion, I wish to thank all who have assisted in any way this Department during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
0. O. ORDWAY, Forest Warden.
