MACADAM CONSTRUCTION.
We had resurfaced the stone roadways on Baxter, Church and Edson Streets and were resurfacing West Street from the Chaffee crossing westerly toward Center Rutland when, on July 16th, lightning struck the crusher plant, causing a fire which destroyed one of the buildings including two motors, two belts, the air compressor outfit, drill, etc. The insurance adjustment covered a large part of the actual damage to the plant, but in replacing the machinery the delay caused by the existing conditions, to which I have already referred, was con- siderably exasperating.
The breaking down of the old Mack truck once or twice also caused some inconvenience in pushing the macadam work. The light truck which was purchased at the beginning of the season for this department proved "a friend indeed."
After the crusher plant was crippled, we purchased a few cars of crushed stone from a New York State quarry and placed on the West Street roadway at a point nearly half way between the Chaffee crossing and the City line. Then from that stone westerly to the City limits was finished with a gravel surfacing.
The tables show the roadwork done during the year and the cost of same.

ANNUAL REPORT
SEWERS.
The winter of 1917-1918 was so severe in this section that some of the shallow sewers froze and had to be relaid and re- paired causing considerably more trouble and expense than during ordinary seasons. Sewer work was also handicapped by the slow delivery of material and shortage of labor. In fact the sewer at Pine Street Tunnel was not built on account of the prevailing war time conditions and limitations.
Construction work was also stopped in two instances be- cause we were unable to obtain permits from land owners to construct the drains across their property.
WATER.
The cost of maintenance for the past year has been large, due to the severe winter of 1917-1918 and advance in price of material and labor.
The retaining dam for Mendon stream at intake valve was not constructed because of much very necessary work and scarcity of help when water in stream was low enough for work to be properly done. This dam should be built the coming summer. The Gleason Reservoir was cleaned at the time water was low in stream.
Several broken or worn out hydrants were replaced with new ones and one new hydrant set on Spruce street near Davis Foundry. Several localities in the city require more hydrants and they should be set as soon as possible. The large four way hydrant for south end of Baxter street was not set as the Commissioner of Public Works and City Engineer were unable to secure right of way for ten inch pipe line necessary to supply this hydrant. All material necessary to set this hydrant as planned by City Engineer is now in store house and in the yard and hydrant can be set as soon as right of way is secured. All hydrant branches that have not valves should be supplied as soon as possible. The twelve-inch main on East Street should have a valve at the corner of East Washington Street and one

CITY OF RUTLAND
at the corner of Woodstock avenue, and the twelve-inch pipe line from Mendon reservoir should have two valves, set near location of valves in sixteen-inch pipe. A six-inch valve should be set at junction of Freight and Evelyn street on six-inch main going through Union Street thus making possible to shut off this main and not shut off Evelyn Street to Steamer pumping cistern at Depot Park.

Report of Commissioner of Public Safety
To the Honorable City Council :-
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire and Police Departments for the year 1918.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department is made up of the chief engineer, the first assistant engineer, the second assistant engineer, nine regu- lar firemen and thirteen callmen, an exceedingly small depart- ment for a city the size and importance of Rutland.
The expense of maintaining the Department the past year was $13,928.81. An itemized account of the expenditures will be found in the list of orders paid by the City Treasurer.
During the year the Department has responded to 20 bell alarms, 76 still alarms, and 5 false alarms, a total of 101.
Our fire loss the past year, a list of which is appended, amounts to $21,530.75. This does not include the loss on the Thrall Block on Grove St., on the Dyer house on Pearl St., or the loss on the contents of the shirt factory owned by Tauber Ryttenberg Co., as these losses have not yet been adjusted.
The fire at the shirt factory emphasized the need of a larger hydrant with steamer connections in the immediate vicinity of the Lincoln Iron Works, and I recommend that this be given immediate attention. I would also recommend the purchase of 500 feet of new hose.
The horses at Station No. 2 have seen their best days and are on the down grade, which again brings up the matter of re- placing them with the more modern and efficient motor fire truck and, as a matter of economy as well as efficiency, I would earnestly recommend that you give this matter, your careful attention.

CITY OF RUTLAND
POLICE DEPARTMENT
This department consists of one chief of police, one acting chief of police and six regular patrolmen, the same as in many years past, and a condition which many times has been called to the attention of the officials of the city and the voters. I refer to the absolute need of a larger department. An extra man is worked as a special officer on regular duty during the summer months when the automobile traffic is heavy and he also works during the vacation time of the regular officers. For the last few months he has been working on the late shift, giv- ing one police officer on the street and one in the station at all hours of the night with four men on the street during the evening.
I wish to refer briefly to the death of Patrolman Bert A. Barrett, who died in the service of his country at one of the training camps in the south. He was a splendid officer and a good soldier and the department suffers a loss in his death. His name was carried with the other patrolmen but with his death there is a vacancy in the list of regular patrolmen and I recommend the appointment of Special Officer Thomas C. Can- ty, who has been doing regular duty since the departure of Mr. Barrett.
During the year 1918 there have been 113 arrests, the small- est number of arrests since the city became a city and one of the lowest records since the department was organized. Of this number 85 were for intoxication and 28 for other offenses. There were four females detained during the year and the others were males.
The city has been particularly free from any serious crime and due to the efficiency of the officers burglaries have been practically eliminated.
There are no recommendations to be made at this time with the exception of the need of another regular patrolman and the time-worn recommendation of the need of a motor ambulance and police patrol wagon. This has been recommended for sev- eral years back and naturally the need is still present.

In conclusion I wish to refer to the extra work done by the police department during the last few months, caused by the conditions brought about by the war. Hundreds of requests, orders and enquiries have been received by the department dur- ing the war and all have been investigated and reports made in every instance, where such was required.
GEO. E. CHALMERS,
Commissioner of Public Safety.
Report of the City Attorney
To the Honorable City Council :-
Your City Attorney respectfully submits the following re- port for the year 1918 :-
The City has been able to settle amicably all trouble and disputes arising during the past year without the intervention of the Courts. The case of the City of Rutland vs. Michael Rooney, which, since our last report has been taken before the Supreme Court on appeal, has now been settled by compromise and agreement between the parties, and a favorable disposition of the matter thus secured.
Your City Attorney has, as in the past, co-operated with the collector of taxes, effecting the collection of the past over- due taxes from delinquents, and has assisted your Overseer of the Poor in securing care and treatment for several unfortu- nates in the Brattleboro Retreat, to be cared for at the expense of the State of Vermont.
It has also been my privilege to advise various officials of the City, in matters pertaining to their official duties, and to render them such assistance as the occasion required.
There are at the present time no matters pending in Court, aside from a few minor collection suits, in which the City is in- terested.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN S. DORSEY, City Attorney.
