A committee from the Board of Aldermen and Commissioner of Public Works made the journey and looked the site over, a tentative estimate on cost was arrived at and it was decided to transfer the crushing plant from Lincoln Boulevard to Pine Hill.
Tests of specimens of the stone were sent to the Testing Laboratory of the University of Vermont and results of tests were as follows:
Stone of good quality, close grained, suitable for water bound Macadam and concrete pavement. It shows a French coefficient of wear =11.5. This is an exceptionally good quarry. It has a high face and contains an unlimited supply, down grade haul to all points in Rutland.
The work of razing the old crusher was started October 25, 1921, and also 3,000 lineal feet of 12 ft. roadway from Evergreen Avenue to the new crusher site on Pine Hill. This work will be completed February 1, 1922, and the plant put in operation. The above quarry is located on property donated to the City by former Mayor, H. O. Carpenter.

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Water Department has functioned under the able supervision of Francis Tracy.
In addition to the regular repairs necessary for the up-keep of the system much more work was necessary the past year than usual.
A new 6" main was laid on St. John's Street and Woodstock Avenue.
The 6" main on Deer Street was extended to give service to houses under construction.
The old 3" main on Brown Street was replaced by a new 6" main from the intersection of River and Brown Streets 336 feet northerly, and a new hydrant set.
A 10" main was run from Madison Street, southerly on the west side of Strongs Avenue 475 feet, and connected with a 6" branch 40 feet in length at the intersection of Royce Street and Strongs Avenue.
The old 3" main on Baxter Street, south of Robbins Street, was replaced with a new 6" main to State Street, and thence south of State Street, and 2 hydrants on Baxter Street connected with the 6" main.
The old 3" main on State Street from Baxter Street to Cleveland Avenue was replaced with new 10" main and old 3" main at intersection of State Street and Cleveland Avenue con- nected with new 10" main. New 10" main extended South on Cleveland Avenue to 3" service for Gas Plant and a four way hydrant placed one hundred feet north of Shirt Factory on this line.
All the old mains at Baxter and State Streets and Cleveland Avenue and State Street were connected with new larger mains, and all house services where new mains were run were trans- ferred from old mains to new.
Necessary valves were set at street intersections. Changes in this section were necessary to increase the size of main for fire protection purposes.
102
ANNUAL REPORT
The 6" main on West Street was extended a distance of 84 feet westerly from Ripley Street. A circulation connected with the new sewer which had been extended to a point near the end of main. This replaces a 34" main which froze several times, when the frost reached a considerable depth and made quite an expense for thawing, which this extension and circu- lation is expected to overcome.
All services from Madison Street, southerly on Strongs Avenue and South Main Street, to City Line were replaced with new ones. All vacant lots, where necessary, have new services extended to property line. All valves were excavated and re- paired; new valve boxes being supplied when required. The main at the bridge crossing Moon Brook on Strongs Avenue was supplied with a new box and packed with non-freezing material. This was also done on the main at the bridge on South Main Street, at the Fair Grounds. All changes and repairs on these two streets were made necessary by the laying of the cement roadway.
A new duplicate Chlorinator was installed at the Chlorine plant. This equips the plant with two machines, so that in the event of one being out of repair the other will be ready for use, making it possible at all times to properly chlorinate the water.
A field test at the reservoir has been made daily by use of Ortho-Tolidine. An accurate record of same was kept and mailed each week to the State Laboratory of Hygiene. The District Health Officer sends a sample of water each day, taken anywhere in the City, to the State Laboratory of Hygiene for analysis, an account of which is kept there. A copy of same together with copy of the field test is returned to this office, showing the results of the analysis, and is filed in the City Clerk's office.
A fence, about a mile in length, was built at the water shed on the Rooney property, from material collected elsewhere on City land, to prevent stray cattle from coming on land where young trees are planted. A fence was also constructed around
103
CITY OF RUTLAND
the Gleason Reservoir to keep cattle from getting into the stream, and coming near the resorvoir.
About 60 new services were laid throughout the City for the supply of building under way of construction. A number of dead ends at street intersections were connected, and the usual amount of old services relaid; leaks in mains repaired, etc.
The following tables show an account of the money expended in the Public Works Department :

I would suggest that at least two concrete bridges be con- structed each year and in this way we overcome the large main- tenance cost on present wooden structures. The arch type is to be recommended as very little steel is necessary and the type of construction is simple.
The steel bridges at Crescent Street, State Street, and Ripley Road, also River Street, are in need of painting. It will be a good investment if above work gets a thorough wire brushing and one coat of paint during the season of 1922.
In closing this report, I wish to express my thanks to his Honor, Mayor Dunn, the Honorable Board of Aldermen, in- dividually and collectively, for their many courtesies and con- fidences extended to me; also to the employees of all depart- ments for their faithfulness and honesty in performance of their many duties.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH P. FEELEY, Commissioner of Public Works.

Report of the 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 1921.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department is composed of the Chief Engineer, 1st assistant engineer, 2nd assistant engineer, seven regular fire- men, 13 call men and 1 steamer engineer.
The Chief Engineer, 1st assistant engineer and four firemen are located at Station No. 1. At Station No. 2 there are 3 firemen and the 2nd assistant engineer.
The addition of one regular fireman which was authorized by the City Council at the regular meeting on Jan. 16th will aid the department materially.
The department was called out 82 times during the year, 61 telephone, 18 bell, 2 thermostat and one still alarm.
The total fire loss for the year was $23,328.51, a remarkably good showing in view of the number of alarms, and to the efficiency of the department no small part of this is due.
Another factor in keeping the loss down was the work done by Fire Marshal Reedy with the co-operation of the citizens in preventing fires by eliminating every possible fire hazard.
A much needed addition to our department is a car for the use of the Chief Engineer, not only to be used in responding to alarms, but it is needed to give the required attention to the fire alarm system.
