Report of Engineers of Fire Department.
1
The Board of Fire Engineers in presenting their first annual report submit the following statement in regard to the organi- zation of the department with a few recommendations and expense of maintaining the same.
Three Hose Companies have been organized, consisting of twenty men each.
The Edward M. Abbot Hose Company No. 1 at Westford Centre.
The Albert R. Choate Hose Company No. 2 at Graniteville.
The John Edwards Hose Company No. 3 at Forge Village.
These companies are equipped with a hose carriage, 800 feet of hose, two fire extinguishers, ladders, pails and tools necessary for fighting fires.
At the center of the town a building has been leased for term of years for storage of apparatus with ample room for the men to meet in.
At Graniteville a part of the carriage house of John A. Healy has been used for the storage of the equipments and Healy's hall rented for the men to hold meetings.
At Forge Village a building has been erected at a cost of $400 which makes a most excellent place for keeping the appar- atus with a nice room for the members.
Practice drills were held once a month by each company which has done much to familiarize the members in handling the hose in case of fire.
The citizens of Westford Centre, Graniteville and Forge Village subscribed the sum of $138 for furnishing the rooms, etc., and it was equally divided between each company.
Excepting two chimney fires in Forge Village no fire of any account has occured in the water district.
Fires outside of the water district were as follows :- Burning of the buildings of Michael L. McGlinchey on April 30, 1908, valued at $3,400-a total loss, partially insured. The summer
77
camp of Arthur Parrott on the shore of Forge Pond-a total loss, no insurance.
With the excellent water supply and high pressure furnished by the Water Company and with a well equipped fire department the danger of a serious fire is very much lessened.
We would make the following recommendations for a better fire protection.
In the center of the Town two more hydrants should be added. One between the Town House and Drew's Corner, and one opposite the new schoolhouse at Forge Village, one hydrant opposite Hanley's store. On account of the distance the Town Farm buildings are from the fire stations 200 feet of linen hose should be purchased and kept at that place.
No provision has been made in regard to the land in Forge Village on which the fire station has been built, but a lease can be executed with Abbot & Co. at a rental of $5.00 per year.
A number of Chemical Fire Extinguishers should be pur- chased for the use of the Forest Warden for extinguishing forest fires. Many towns are using them and find they are very effective.
The old house in the center of the Town used for the storage of ladders, pumps, pails, etc., should be moved to Parkerville for the benefit of that part of the Town.

Report of the Committee Appointed at the last Annual Town Meeting to investigate the Relocation and Repairing of the Graniteville Road.
The Graniteville road is one of the oldest roads in the town of Westford and little if any change has been made in its original location.
About forty years ago some cutting was done on the hill and since then one of the corners has been somewhat straightened, but in other respects the general condition of the road remains unchanged.
The Selectmen and later the Town have been in the habit for some years of appropriating a yearly amount to go towards some special stretch of road and have this stretch laid out by a competent engineer and the improvements made according to modern ideas of engineering and road building.
As a result we now have the Depot Hill, Boston Road, the Hill on the way to Forge Village, Cummings Hill, Greigs Corner, in Graniteville, and the Carlisle Road as complete stretches laid out under the supervision of an engineer. Also certain per- manent improvements have been begun on Broadway, Granite- ville, to remove the excessive amount of surface water. The cost of the last mentioned improvement being taken from the regular road appropriation.
The Town, through the petition of certain citizens, is also committed by order of the County Commissioners to spend a certain amount for draining the streets of the Centre.
At the time of the project of relocation and repairing the Carlisle Road was brought up it was generally expected that the Graniteville Hill should be in line for the next permanent improvement but the county commissioners have ordered otherwise.
The Graniteville Road is the connecting link between Westford and Graniteville and because of the growth of the
91
latter village is now one of the most travelled of any road in Town.
The road on the hill is narrow, the curves very sharp and the grades excessive, in some places being over 12%. Because of these features it might be considered dangerous for a horse and automobile to suddenly meet, provided the horse was some- what afraid. From the direction of the hill running from north to south and because of the woods on either side, the snow and ice remain here when other roads are entirely settled. Also because of the grade and ice the footing is often so bad that people drive around to Depot Street in order to avoid this difficulty. From authority we learn that on a 12% grade a horse can pull but one-fifth as much as on a level road, but of course he can do better than this for a short distance.
A great deal of heavy teaming goes over this hill and small loads must be pulled consequently.
The committee have been fortunate in securing the aid and assistance of Mr. Kendall, the county engineer, to survey and lay out a system to relocate the Graniteville road and particularly the hill.
To quote from Mr. Kendall's letter to the Committee:
"The portion of the road from Julian Cameron's land just above the house of Arthur Day to the foot of the steep hill at George Cady's land, is the worst portion of the road.
"Two schemes were examined for improving this portion of the road. One followed quite closely the present road, cutting across corners and straightening the same, besides cutting the top of the hill and filling at the bottom so as to reduce the grade to about 72 feet in one hundred; the grade of the present road being as steep as eleven or twelve feet in one hundred, in places. This work would require about 5,000 cubic yards excavation in ledgy material, besides the gravel, guard rail and other incidentals. While it is difficult to say how much this work would cost owing to the uncertain factors in ledge work, it is safe to say that it would be as much as $5,500.
"Another method examined was the scheme of swinging the road to the northeast nearly opposite Arthur Day's house returning to the present road in a length of about 1,000 feet and
92
then filling towards the bottom of the hill, as in the first scheme described. By this method most of the ledge work would be avoided, but the alignment would not be as good, the resulting grade however being a little better than by the first scheme. It is safe to say that as much as $2,000 would be saved by this method over that of the first described, possibly more."
Your committee has made a careful examination of both methods as suggested by Mr. Kendall. They have endeavored to find out what will be the amount of land damage if any by both methods. Taking all things into consideration we feel that the second method will be the best suited to the needs of the Town both as being less expensive to complete and because that a trifle better grade will be the result, the disadvantage being, however, that there will be two curves with large radius instead of a nearly straight road as in method one.
Realizing that the Town has been recently put to heavy expenses and also that the tax rate should be kept down to a reasonable figure, the committee do not urge that the Town spend a large sum of money this year.
However, they feel that an improvement in the road from Hillside Farm to a point opposite Arthur Day's is urgently needed, and to this end they suggest that a start be made by giving the Selectmen power to accept, to purchase, take, and receive what land is necessary for the relocation of the road in behalf of the Town, according to the plans of the County Engin- eer, as the sum required for this purpose will be comparatively small, that this amount be taken from Town debts and charges.

Report of Building Committee for Cameron School.
The Building Committee chosen at a Special Town Meeting in April last for the purpose of altering and enlarging the Cameron School beg to report that the work has been completed and that the building has been occupied as a school since about the first of December, 1908.
We believe that Forge Village now has a modern four room building of ample size for the needs of this district for many years to come and at a much less cost than they could otherwise have had such a building.
We feel that the Town should spend, in the near future, a small amount of money for grading the grounds about the building.
We submit herewith a report of the expenditures.
