Report of Engineers of Fire Department.
The Board of Fire Engineers submit the following report:
During the past year several fires have occurred which would have entailed serious loss of valuable property if it had not been for the promptness and efficiency of the Fire Department.
April 13th a grass fire started from a spark from an engine on the Boston & Maine R. R., near the Town Farm, which threat- ened the village of Graniteville; fortunately it was extinguished before it reached any dwelling house in the village, although the freight house at West Graniteville on the Nashua & Acton R. R., was damaged to the extent of about one hundred and fifty ($150) dollars.
July 14th an alarm was rung in in the centre of Westford for a fire in a tenement of Abiel J. Abbot, caused by an overturned lighted lamp, which fortunately was extinguished by a hand chemical fire extinguisher. Loss $30-insured.
November 1st the stable of John A. Healy caught fire about 9 o'clock P. M. The A. R. Choate Hose Company No. 2 reported promptly and did excellent work; but on account of the danger of the nearby dwellings the other two hose companies were ordered out and did much in preventing a serious conflagration. Loss on building and contents seven thousand ($7000) dollars-insured. A most unfortunate accident occurred at this fire. Lieut. Daniel W. Harrington, of the A. R. Choate Hose Company No. 2, was struck by a stream of water from one of the fire hose and knocked down. He was taken at once to his home where he lingered for a few days and died on November 7th. His death was not only a loss to the Fire Department, but to the community in which he lived.
The duties of a fireman are hazardous. He is obliged many times to take risks that may entail the loss of life or serious injury to himself, resulting in loss in the support of his family. One of the wise and beneficient laws passed by the Legislature is the Massachusetts Fireman Relief Fund, wherein, in case of the
71
death of a fireman or injury in his line of duty, pecuniary aid is given to his family or himself.
One thousand ($1000) dollars is allowed in case of loss of life to the dependent relatives. Under this provision, Mrs. Harring- ton received the above sum.
November 22d the barn of Mrs. Rachael W. Reed in Gran- iteville was discovered on fire about 9 P. M. A general alarm was sent out and all three of the hose companies responded. For- tunately there was but little wind blowing, and the fire was confined to the building which was occupied by tenants for storage and provisions. Loss estimated on building and contents thirty-five hundred ($3500) dollars-insured.
An expense unlooked for during the past year was in pur- chasing new fire hose for the A. R. Choate Hose Company No. 2.
At the grass fire of April 13th, which threatened the Village of Graniteville, it was necessary to use the hand chemical fire extinguisher very freely, and it is supposed that in recharging the extinguishers the sulphuric acid was scattered on the fire hose, which destroyed the cotton covering, and rendered the hose useless. There was no alternative but to purchase new hose, otherwise the department would have been crippled and it would have also affected the insurance rates in the three villages. Fortunately this damage was discovered before the fires in the buildings in Graniteville; otherwise there might have been a serious loss.
We still recommend as we did last year, that the Town pur- chase 400 feet of linen hose to be kept at the Town Farm, for in case of a fire it could be used at once by the Master of the Alms- house before the arrival of the hose companies, thereby prevent- ing a fire getting much headway; 200 feet would be kept at the house and 200 at the barn.
With the extension of the Westford Water Co. mains and new buildings erected since the establishment of the public hy- drants, considerable property does not come under adequate fire protection. We recommend in Westford Centre, one hydrant opposite the house of Charles W. Hildreth, and one opposite the
.
72
William E. Frost Schoolhouse. In Forge Village, one hydrant on Bradford street and one opposite the Cameron Schoolhouse.
The Fire Department is under obligations to Mrs. Henry H. Samuels of the Grant Jewelry Co., of Lowell, who has presented a valuable silver loving cup to be given to the hose company making the best showing in any try out that the Engineers may suggest; the winners to hold the cup subject to challenge from other Westford Hose Companies; the cup to become the property of the hose company winning and holding the same for three successive years. A try out took place in Graniteville between the A. R. Choate Hose Company No. 2 and the John Edwards Hose Company No. 3, and was won by the A. R. Choate Hose Company No. 2. Mrs. Samuels presented the cup and it was accepted by the Chief Engineer in behalf of the Fire Department.
Attention is called to the law regulating the manufacturing, storage, keeping, sale and use of explosives other than fireworks or firecrackers. Any person or firm using explosives are required in the first instance to apply for a license from the Selectmen and then apply for a permit from the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. Persons or firms desirious of transporting explosives must apply to the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department for a permit. Any violation of these regulations subjects the person or firm to a fine of not more than one hundred($100) dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one month or by both such fine and imprisonment.
We can assure the Town that the Fire Department is in an excellent condition. The members are active and prompt in their duties and the equipment is good, excepting some extra parts needed for fire purposes and we recommend that the sum of four hundred and fifty ($450) dollars be raised and appropriated.

CHARLES O. PRESCOTT, Treasurer.
MIDDLESEX, SS. WESTFORD, MASS., January 25, 1910.
Then personally appeared Charles O. Prescott and made oath that the above is a true statement of the cost of construction of the Westford Water Supply System to January 1, 1910, and of the receipts and expenditures of the Westford Water Company from January 1, 1909 to January 1, 1910, before me.
JOHN M. FLETCHER, Notary Public.

Report of Commissioners of Public Burial Grounds.
The Commissioners report as follows:
The past year eight burial lots have been placed under Perpetual Care. We find a tax was deducted from the amount left by will of John M. Osgood of Racine, Wis., making the sum received $95.25 instead of $100.
The serious drouth of the past season, in addition to that of the previous year has made the lack of water at the several Cemeteries felt more than ever, as no amount of care can take the place of that important factor in keeping the lots in good condition. We can only hope the coming summer may not be like that of 1908 and 1909.
The six gravestones furnished by the U. S. Government for soldiers of the Civil War, have been placed in position.
The several Cemeteries will be under the same care as in the past year.
The Commissioners would respectfully recommend that the sum of $100 be raised and appropriated for the care and improve- ment of the Cemeteries the coming year.
