Office of the Board of Fire Commissioners,
Old Court-House, Boston, February 1, 1894.
Hon. Nathan Matthews, Jr.,
Mayor of the Gily of Boston :
Sir : The Fire Commissioners herewith respectfully sub-
mit their twenty-first annual report of the work done by this
department for the year ending January 31, together with
certain recommendations looking to the extension and larger
efficiency of the service.
Alarms and Losses.
The department year has been a very busy one. The re-
sources available for the extinguishment of fires have been
severely taxed, and the necessity of substantially strength-
ening them has been emphasized. There have been 1,718
alarms, an increase of 306 over the year previous, and con-
siderably more than double the annual average eight and
nine years ago. This means more than a twofold increase
in actual fire duty as compared with a few years ago, and a
corresponding increase in the work of administering the eco-
nomic and disciplinary affairs of the department. The losses
on buildings and contents amount to $4,348,902, the lion's
share of which is due to the conflagration of March 10, on
Lincoln street and vicinity, whose sudden and sweeping
character and large proportions are vividly remembered, as
should also be the lessons and warnings as to building con-
struction and arrangement that were written in such glowing
characters by that event.
Standing of the Department.
The story of department enlargement is a very short one.
There is little to add in this respect to what was stated in
last year's report. The new headquarters are very near
completion, and will soon be ready for occupancy by the
Commissioners and Chief at least, and in the course of a few
months it is hoped to install therein a new fire-alarm plant
that shall embody the latest and best features in this im-
portant branch of fire-service. Quite a handsome house at
Ashmont will soon be ready for apparatus, and help to fill a
gap in the fire protection of that section that is now alto-
2 City Document No. 12.
gether too large. No advance has been made toward the
location and construction of a horse sanitarium, and the city
is still paying rent for quarters that are far from satisfactory
for this particular purpose. An appropriation of $50,000
has been made for a new fire-boat, and the commissioners
have set about securing the necessary plans and specifi-
cations to give this sum practical utility as soon as possible.
This piece of apparatus will constitute, when completed, a
very valuable reenforcement.
There is a great deal that needs to be done at the present
time for the better protection of the city. The Boston and
Maine system of railroads has already added sufficient hazard
in Charlestown to make necessary another engine company
somewhere in the vicinity of Prison Point, and the risk
there is constantly increasing. An engine is needed some-
where near Day street, in Roxbury. At Grove Hall the city
has for several years owned a site for a ladder and chemical
engine house, but there is no money to proceed with the
work. Chemical engines are needed in West Roxbury, Dor-
chester, and East Boston. A beo-inning has been made tow-
ard rebuilding the house of Ladder 1, but there is the same
need for replacing the house of Ladder 13 with a new one.
The sum of $300,000 could be expended at the present time
for new houses and apparatus without exceeding in the
slightest the legitimate needs of the department.
There are two matters of a very practical nature now be-
fore the City Council, of which the Board would ask very
careful consideration. One is a request to petition the Leg-
islature for authority to cause buildings of a certain class to
be equipped with metallic ladders and stand-pipes, the same
as in certain Western cities, where their value has been de-
monstrated many times over. The other is the proposition
to run 12- inch pipes into the conflagration district from
the harbor, for which the fire boat or boats will supply the
power. The Board has made no suggestions that promise
more protection for less money than these, and the sooner
these systems are established the better it will be for all
most deeply interested. Boston is behind even some of her
smaller sister cities in these important respects.
Since the reorganization of the department, twenty years
ago, there has been no rearrangement of the fire districts
except in some slight details. The number has not been in-
creased, and it must be evident to all that with the great
growth of Boston during that time, the old system has be-
come unwieldy in some of its parts, and not as convenient
as it should be in its operations. For instance, District 10
includes half the territory of the city, and District 8 is not

well arranged for the best service of a single chief. This
matter has been the subject of frequent discussion by the
Commissioners, and only lack of means has prevented them
from making the changes which their judgment has so
strongly urged.
Apparatus, Equipment, etc.
The department is not relatively as strong in apparatus as
it was a year and a half ago. It is sound policy on the part
of business concerns employing machinery to charge a cer-
tain considerable percentage each year to depreciation : and,
certainly, a fire department, which has at times to give its
machinery exceptionally hard usage, cannot be exempt from
this rule. No apparatus, in the strict sense of the term, has
been purchased for about a year and a half ; and, although
the repair-shop has kept the present supply in good
working condition, a yearly addition is necessary to prevent
the department from falling behind. There are needed at
the present time three new first-size steam-engines, an aerial
ladder truck, a chemical engine, etc. What could be done
at comparatively small expense to help the material part of
the service has been done. More three-horse hitches have
been put in, and, where practicable, two-horse hitches have
been placed on the down-town hose wagons, thus enabling
the companies to carry a larger amount of hose. A water-
tower attachment has been made to each of the aerial lad-
ders, and a few coal and hose wagons have been purchased.
A wrecking wagon has been ordered, which will be a unique
but valuable feature of the service.
Constitution of the Force.
The men employed in various capacities to run the depart-
ment number a trifle over 800. Of these, about 600 are
permanent firemen and 120 call men. The complaints that
come from some sections of weakness in the companies ap-
pointed to protect their property can never be measurably
satisfied until we have permanency throughout. The Com-
missioners dislike to renew their annual protest against a
continuance of the call system, but they consider it their
duty to do so, knowing that it is out of place and an element
of weakness in a large city department. As has been said
before, the call men are all right, but the call system is all
wrong, at least for Boston. The drill and engine schools
have done good work, and a high degree of discipline and
efficiency prevails throughout the force.
City Document No. 12.
Inspection of Wires.
The work of this bureau is given in detail elsewhere, and
shows a busy record for the year. Legislation is now in
process which promises to relieve the city in a few years of
the incubus of the overhead system of wires ; and, certainly,
nothing can be done that will be more welcome to this de-
partment. The wires have been among the most serious ob-
stacles against which it has had to contend, and, to a greater
extent than is known, the cause of many of the battles it has
had to wage.
Horses.
The city owns 237 horses, and has in extra service, for
winter use, 60 more. During the year, 37 new horses were
purchased, 23 sold or exchanged, 5 died, of which 2 were
killed. The number of horses receiving treatment was 185,
resulting in 350 cases, of which 150 were treated at the Horse
Infirmary, and 15 were horses received for extra service.
The horses of the department have been, and are, in gen-
erally excellent condition. During the year a horse-shoeing
shop has been established at the Infirmary, and considerable
work has been and is being1 done there.
The Department Allies.
The Board desires to thank the police for their cordial and
efficient assistance. It has been the policy the past year to
extend the fire-lines more than formerly, thus making their
duties somewhat more exacting ; but they have acted well
up to the measure of their responsibility. The Fire Mar-
shal's office has made a good record, and proved again its
value as a cooperative bureau ; and the Protective Depart-
ment has shown its usual promptness and efficiency.
The Board of Fire Commissioners
consists of three members. One member is appointed an-
nually, for a term of three years from the first Monday in
May each year. The nomination is made by the Mayor,
subject to confirmation by the Board of Aldermen.
Robert G. Fitch, Chairman, for three years from May,
1892. Term expires May, 1895.
John R. Murphy, for three years from May, 1891. Term
expires May, 1894.

30 City Document No. 12.
EEPORT OF COMMISSIONER JOHN R. MURPHY
ON FOREIGN FIRE-SERVICE.
July 30, 1893.
To the Board of Fire Commissioners:
Gentlemen : In accordance with a vote passed by you, I
submit the following report in reference to the fire depart-
ments and fire methods of the cities of London and Paris :
I spent two weeks inspecting London's fire department,
most of the time, with the exception of one day, unofficially.
London has a population of about 4,250,000, and an area
of 120 square miles. The Thames river, flowing through the
city, although subject to considerable tide, makes a very
valuable aid in case of fire. The streets are broad in the
newer parts of the city. In the old city they are narrow.
The buildings are so low and small in area that they do not
present great difficulties in case of fire.
The water-service is supplied by some eight private com-
panies which, by act of Parliament, furnish water for fire
purposes.
The government of the city is complex. The old city of
London, which comprises about a mile of territory, has a
government of its own, with authority fixed by Parliament.
The County Council, so called, governs the whole city (120
square miles) on certain questions of a metropolitan nature,
under a special act of Parliament. In addition they have
governing boards, which they call vestries, some forty in
number, that look after the local affairs of sections which
would correspond to wards in an American city. Questions
such as streets, lights, local sewers, and such matters come
under their care. The fire department being a general rather
than a local question, comes under the London County Coun-
cil, and is governed by that body through a committee in the
same way as the American fire departments were managed
twenty years ago.
The department consists of over 800 men, about 50 land
steam fire-engines, 9 steam fire-engines on barges, used in
river service, 9 large ladders, quite a number of hand-en-
gines and hose-carts, most of which are in the same stations
as the steam fire-engines, and 179 single ladders at fire-escape
stations. The above includes men and apparatus in active ser-
vice. These facts I obtained from one of the principal officers
of the department, except that he said there were 155 fire-
escape stations, while their annual report calls for 179.
Fire Department. 31
The ladder service consists of the 179 ladders which are
at the fire-escape stations, some 7 fire ladders, each of which
has one end on two wheels and the other end tied on ordi-
nary four-wheeled carts, and 2 extension American ladders.
Some, if not all, of these ladders are placed in sheds in the
rear of the stations, and are not equipped for immediate ser-
vice. The houses in which the men and apparatus are
quartered are in excellent condition, and compare more than
favorably with the houses of an American department.
Glazed brick, which costs with us from $120 to $130 per
thousand, is used on the interior, and most of the houses
that I personally inspected could be justly entitled luxuri-
ous in their appointments and appearance. The cost of their
new fire stations alone averages about $40,000. As the price
of building is low in London, that would be equal to from
$60,000 to $80,000 with us.
The number of men attached to a company is 12. The
fire-escape stations are covered by details from the nearest
company. Most, if not all, of these fire-escape stations have
each a detail at night of from one to three men. In the day-
time the greater part of them have no firemen present, and
the ladder is wheeled to one side in the nearest convenient
place where it can be stored, generally the yard of some
public building. The ladders are mounted on two wheels
and stand upright from them. They appear to be about
forty feet in length when extended, and are wheeled to the
fire by hand. The public are supposed to assist if needed,
and an allowance of Is. is made to each of two citizens aiding,
and of Is. 6d. to a third citizen, provided he also gave the
alarm. Most of these fire-escape stations have no connec-
tion with headquarters either by telephone or telegraph. In
order to reach them a special messenger has to be sent.
In each engine-house they receive alarms from what they
call 8 to 11 "points," or what we would call fire-boxes.
The boxes are small, with a glass front. In most cases they
are without any sign or any way of alarming the public, to
prevent a false alarm being sent in. You break the glass,
and a knob with "pull" on it is there for you to give the
alarm. Pulling the knob drops a disk similar to an annun-
ciator in the nearest engine-house.
The modus operandi at the station is as follows : Officer
in charge is notified of an alarm by man on patrol,. and he
rings for the men. If at night, they are sleeping (in the
houses that I examined) on the third and fourth stories, a
hundred feet or more in the rear. They jump out of bed,
pull on their trousers, and in their stocking feet run down
long corridors, come down the long flights of stairs to the
32 City Document No. 12.
floor (in some cases going to separate buildings for the
horses from that where the engine is stationed), take otf
the halters, take down the harnesses, put them on, place the
bits in the horses' mouths, run out holding them by the heads
and hitch them up.
The water in the boiler of the engine is kept warm by gas
conveyed to the fire-box by rubber hose. They unhitch the
hose from the door of the fire-box, put in the shavings and
wood, take a match and light it. The men go to racks
upon the walls where their clothing is hanging, take their
leather boots and pull them on, then put on their coats,
buckle their belts, containing a small hatchet and other imple-
ments, round their bodies, place their helmets on their
heads, and then take their positions on the apparatus. The
engine is a hose-wagon and engine combined, so that when
the engine comes to a fire it is in the form of one piece of
apparatus. * The time of hitching up in the house at night, I
was informed, was from three to four minutes. I saw in the
headquarters of the service a hitch-up made, with the men
on the floor dressed, boots, helmets, all complete, with a hand-
engine, where they had no trouble in the way of firing the
boiler and harnessing the horses. This was practically what
Americans would call a floor hitch, and the time was over 35
seconds. A floor hitch in an American house can be made
under far less favorable circumstances in from 2 to 6
seconds ; a night hitch, with the men in bed, in less than 20
seconds.
English methods of getting apparatus to work at a fire are
so slow that one does not ask how many minutes it takes
before a company is at work, but what portion of an hour.
American departments can best understand their slowness
when they call to mind the fact that in every American city
that claims to have a first-class department, an alarm from
its dangerous boxes means that a company will arrive there
with its engine in working order, and get its men inside the
building, playing water on the fire, in less time than a
London engine takes to hitch up. After the apparatus
leaves the house it goes with considerable speed to the fire.
Before leaving the house, however, the officer telephones the
superintendent of the district, corresponding to the district
chief with us, where he is going, and the superintendent
telephones to have a second engine from his district follow
the first. When the engines arrive at the fire, if more are
wanted, a man is sent on horseback to the nearest fire
station, which may be a mile away, and he telephones to the
district superintendent how many more engines are wanted,
and more engines are sent from time to time, as called for
Fire Department. 33
by telephone, each time the man going back on horseback to
convey the order of his superior officer. If the fire is of such
magnitude as to exhaust the engines of one district, then head-
quarters, when telephoned, sends more from the next district,
and so on until the engines of the whole city are at the fire.
Some of the engines have the doors of the fire-boxes in
the front part of the boiler, so that the engineman cannot
reach them when responding to an alarm. Fully one-half,
I should judge, of the entire London service is this way.
The result is that, after they leave the house, it is impossible
to feed the fire and get up steam on the way, and the engine,
if going any distance, would, under these circumstances,
arrive frequently at the fire without being in a condition to
get to work immediately.
The hand-engines are sent to alarms of fire from the
nearest boxes to the engine station. To boxes at a distance,
or when it is known that there is a fire in progress, steam-
engines are sent.
When the engine arrives at a fire it is attached to a
hydrant in the following way : a pipe about two inches in
diameter is screwed on to the hydrant, a piece of hose is
screwed on to that and run into what they call a fire-dam or
canvas box, which has to be set up. The water is let into the
canvas box, and from this the engine runs its suction and
draws its supply of water. At the fires I attended, one
hydrant and one canvas box supplied one engine. In the
meantime some of the men take the hose, which is in sepa-
rate lengths and rolled up like a coil of ribbon. One man
couples a length to the engine and runs with the end, then
another man runs with a coil and couples it on to that and
runs with it toward the fire, then the first comes with another
coil and couples it on. This peculiar way of running a line
is kept up until the requisite length of hose to reach the fire
is obtained. The pipe is then screwed on, and, if the engine
has sufficient steam, the company is ready for action.
The hose couplings are two inches, the streams played
from hydrants a half-inch, and the streams played by engines
on land three-quarter inch. I was informed that they also
used inch streams, but I did not see any nozzles of that size
on the engines, neither did I see any in use at any of the
fires I attended. Before an engine can get its supply of
water it very often has to be turned on by an employee of the
water service. If he is not there, he is either sent for or the
firemen have appliances with which to turn it on.
The smallness of the engines especially struck me. All
their engines are single pump with small boilers, and a very
few of them, about six, deliver a gallon and a half per
34 City Document No. 12.
stroke. The balance is divided between engines that deliver
about a gallon and a gallon and a quarter. They are tested
when purchased on the basis of 150 revolutions per minute,
and their maximum and minimum according to the condition
and age of the steamer is 120 and 90 revolutions. On the
basis of 120 revolutions the maximum capacity of their
engines is 120, 150, and 180 gallons per minute respec-
tively.
If ladders are needed at a fire they have to depend upon
the small ladder carried by the steamer, which would not
reach some of our second stories, or the ladder which comes
from the fire-patrol station if the alarm was given from there.
If more are needed they have to send to the nearest station
a special messenger and have them come by hand. If the
longer ladders are wanted they are brought by horses.
In one of the engine stations I saw the method of convey-
ing one of their long ladders. One end of the ladder is on
two wheels, the other end is tied on a four-wheeled team
which they call a van. If needed at a fire it is called by
telephone, and the engine-horses are hitched to the van and
they draw it there. I said to the man on duty, "If your
horses draw this ladder to a fire, and the engine is wanted,
what do you do? " He said, " We can't take it; we would
have to fall back on a hand-hose cart." In other words,
the ladders are brought to fires by hand, except the nine
large ones, which are brought by horses when specially sent
for by messenger.
What they call a large ladder is about equal to one of our
Bangor ladders, which we carry on our ladder trucks. Their
way of carrying large ladders, while not quite so difficult as
the carrying of ship-masts through the streets, is almost as
cumbersome. It is impossible to convey the London ladders
with that celerity which is essential in case of fire.
The men of the London brigade are recruited from sailors.
Twenty or thirty years ago, before the ocean steamship
developed to such an extent, there might have been more
grounds for this than there are to-day. Sailors on steam-
ships are not sailors of the generations that have passed, and
while it may be good judgment to have a proportion of the
service sailors, it is not, in my opinion, good policy to have
it so exclusively. The fireman in a modern city should not
only have ability to climb, to handle ropes, as the old-time
sailor, but should combine with that a mechanical ability
which would make him familiar with buildings and their
construction, and, as a climax, he should be possessed of
the requisite daring and judgment to make of him what
may be justly called a modern fireman. The men of the
Fire Department. 35
London service struck me as being strong, rugged, and pos-
sessed of most of the requisites which make a fireman, but,
by training, they have no knowledge of building construc-
tion. This is an essential weakness. The physical and
mental examinations which they go through are not so
stringent as in Boston ; neither is their drill-school so well
developed in its methods.
The pay is 24s. ($5.76) a week when they first enter,
with slight increases for the first few years. After that, in
order to reach the maximum of pay, 37s. 6d. ($9) a week,
they have to await vacancies and take the raise of pay in
the order of seniority. It takes about fourteen years to reach
the highest grade, and a fireman must serve twenty-eight years
before he is entitled to a pension. Out of his salary the fire-
man pays a small sum for his quarters in the engine-house.
A curious fact connected with the service is the large
number of changes that take place yearly. In the last year
96 men out of a total of 825 left the service, and of this
number 53 resigned. There is but one deduction from this
extraordinary state of affairs, and it is that it comes either
because of the peculiar roving disposition of the sailors that
compose the service, or the small pay and the long service
necessary in order to obtain the high pay. A service which
changes like this cannot get the best results. It must be
lacking in well-trained and experienced men.
The engines of the service are too small in their capacity.
While they meet the ordinary demands, when an extraordi-
nary demand comes they are not sufficiently large in water-
throwing capacity. It is pretty much the same as though
an army had all light guns and none of heavy calibre. The
reason given for the use of such engines is a desire to get
quickly to a fire. Yet in their hitching and going to a fire
they lose many minutes. In their methods after getting to
a fire there is so much time wasted that it strikes an Amer-
ican very unfavorably.
This extreme smallness of engines is all the more remark-
able when I saw engines of English make, of double the
capacity, and even more, of the London engine, on exhibi-
tion by makers and in service in other English cities, the
weight of which was not much greater than that of the Lon-
don brigade engines. London should send most of the
engines that she has now to the outskirts, and in the five or
six congested centres of that great city use engines of large
water-throwing capacity and light in weight.
The horses of the service are splendid animals. This is to
be expected in a horse country like England. They are
hired, not owned, by the service.
36 City Document No. 12.
The water service seemed to me to be sadly lacking in
many respects. It should be owned by the people for the
public benefit, not by private corporations for private gain.
The system, to say the least, is peculiar. In many parts of
London they have what they call " intermittent supplies ; "
that is, the water is let on at a certain hour in the morning.
For domestic purposes people fill the tanks in their houses, and
then the water is shut oft'. The same rule of shutting off",
except when needed, applies to water for fire service, and cases
have occurred where engines have responded to fires and
have been unable to get water, owing to the fact that the
man to turn on the water was not present. A system of
this kind means, even if the water is turned on either by a
representative of the water department or a fireman, delays
of a dangerous nature. The hydrants are used also by men
who are not connected with the water department. The use
of them should be restricted under the supervision of the
fire service and the water companies. The smallness of the
hydrants, which furnish only about a two-inch water supply,
struck me unfavorably. The number of hydrants, when we
consider the area of the city and its population and the fact
that one engine alone can connect to a hydrant, is extraordi-
narily small, and the result is that the engines cannot be
massed sufficiently close to a fire to render full and efficient
service. Their hydrants should be more numerous, and, like
ours, post hydrants or their equivalent, so that four engines
could be supplied from a hydrant instead of one. The can-
vas box should be done away with, and the engine suction
connected direct to hydrant.
The hose is without jacket and lined with white rubber,
which rubber dealers tell us is the weakest kind. The coup-
lings are fastened by an old process long obsolete in America.
Instead of using 2-inch couplings they should use at least
2^-inch, if not larger, and increase the size of their hose.
Their method of running off a line of hose at a fire by coup-
ling each piece after they arrive there, is behind the times.
They should have their line all ready to pull off at a
moment's notice, and all coupled, just as it is in an Ameri-
can service. Their system of combining hose and engine in
one piece of apparatus could be, perhaps, economically used
in the suburban parts of an American city, but in the heart
of their city, as well as in Boston, the correct system is the
engine and hose to be carried on separate pieces of appara-
tus. The size of their streams is too small for large fires.
Their hand-engines are relics of barbarism. They do not
use chemical engines as in America, yet they need them far
more than we do.
Fire Department. 37
Their fire-alarm boxes should all have signs telling1 how to
work them, and when the glass is broken a bell should ring,
as on our keyless doors. I think that would prevent many
false alarms. Out of about 4,164 alarms of fire in one year,
1,029 were false — an extraordinary record, which can only
be accounted for in part by the fact that in giving an alarm
there is no way of notifying the police or public when a citi-
zen is sending it in.
Their system of sending apparatus to the fire is slow and
complex. It is impossible for them to mass their service
quickly in case of great need, either wholly or in part. The
American system, which makes it possible to notify the
whole service within a few minutes, if necessary, is as su-
perior to theirs as day is to night.
Their fire-escape stations with the men on duty at night
should be covered in the day also, and so situated that all
could be communicated with at once and notified other than
by messenger if they are wanted. Either this should be done
or the peculiar system as it now exists, which fritters away
the strength of the department on unconnected bodies of
men, should be abolished. If this is army discipline, it
is a violation of the rules of warfare, which never allow,
where it is possible to prevent, any portion of the army to
have its communication cut off from the main body, its base
of supplies.
Fires sometimes are large and travel fast in London, and
the occasion has arisen, and will arise again, when the ser-
vices of all her men will be needed quickly ; yet it is impos-
sible, under the present system, to obtain the whole service
at once if wanted.
The average number of boxes per square mile in London
is about four, so that, in order to give an alarm, it is neces-
sary, in many cases, to run a long distance. Boston, with
one-ninth the population, and a little over one-fourth the
area, has as many fire-alarm boxes in service as has London.
The boxes should be thicker in London, owing to the density
of its population, and people should not be compelled to run
so far in order to send in an alarm, and thus lose valuable
time.
I investigated the question of patrolling the streets, and I
found that the London brigade do no such thing. Statements
have been publicly made in Boston that in London every
fireman would be required to be familiar with every building
in his district. This is not the fact. The firemen know
nothing about the buildings ; neither do their officers. In
this respect the London service could take pattern from an
American department, where, in accordance with rules which
38 City Document No. 12.
they reduce to practice, the officers do understand, as far as
in a human being lies, the construction of the buildings in
their city. It is only fair, however, to say of the London
service that their building construction is, in the main, of
such a nature that the enforcement of a rule of that kind is
not so necessary as it is in Boston.
The ladder service of the London brigade is not abreast of
their steamer service, It is true that their fires, owing to
good construction, in many cases do not travel fast. This
gives many chances to put them out by inside fighting. Yet
they have plenty of fires where it is necessary to get at the
fire by ladders from the outside, and as their fire ladders are
not run by horses, valuable time is frequently lost in scien-
tifically attacking the fire. In conversation with fire authori-
ties in London, I was informed that they could accomplish
all they desired from the ground. A statement of this kind
shows the utter lack of knowledge of ladder service pos-
sessed by foreign fire departments. London needs a first-
class ladder service. Because of the lowness of its buildings
there is not so much necessity for the heavy service of an
American city ; yet one modelled on the American principle,
which embraces separate companies with ladders and appa-
ratus for ladder duty only, and with the men and apparatus
drawn by horses to fires, would increase to a wonderful ex-
tent the efficiency of the London brigade.
One hears a great deal more about saving life than about
the amount of property lost in foreign fire services. A life
saved receives more attention in the columns of the press
than a tire that involves large loss. It is a feeling that is to
be admired. I gave special attention to this branch of the
service. I found in London 179 ladder fire-escape stations
to 120 square miles of territory, or over one ladder to the
square mile. In case a ladder was needed, that would make
it necessary at times to run a mile or over to notify the tire-
escape station, and then to have the ladder run back by hand
all that distance. This is a vital error. The ladders should
be situated so as to be called electrically, and thus save an
enormous waste of time. Many of the ladders are equipped
with a chute, down which the people to be saved are sup-
posed to be sent. I question the usefulness of these chutes.
It requires more men to handle them quickly than are at-
tached to the ladders. I noticed that some of the latest
ladders placed in service were without these chutes, and, on
inquiry, was informed that none of the new ladders were
equipped with them. Possibly the service of chutes is being
done away with. If they are, it is good judgment.
For jumping-nets they have some made of canvas, such
Fire Department. 39
as the American fire departments have discarded. The
pompier ladder service and the use of ropes in connection
with life-belts, for saving life, as practised in our Boston
service, is unknown, although very essential in case of
emergency. I saw no guns for shooting life-lines; neither
are the men drilled after the American life-saving system. I
have no hesitation in saying that the American ladder service,
both for fire and for life-saving, is immeasurably superior to
the system in vogue in London.
I was present at some fires in London and saw the depart-
ment at work. The crowds congregate around the enoines
close to the fire more so than in an American <"ity. I watched
the methods of the department and failed to see, either in
discipline or so-called scientific fire-fighting, where they
equal the fire department of a large American city.
Siamesing is not practised to any extent. They have
some simple two-way Siamese, but I did not see them in
actual work. They try to reach the inside of a building at
a fire, the same as our firemen. They also attack from the
street at various points ; but, unlike our firemen, they are not
able, by means of an excellent ladder service, water-towers,
engines with large streams and three-way and four-way
Siamese, to direct their streams of water so as to go straight
in in heavy volumes through the windows and openings, and
strike at the heart of the fire. Streams directed from the
street must necessarily lose much of their efficiency when
they enter in a slanting direction.
It would appear that the London department does not
bother itself very much about science, for I was informed
that they had lately tried hose unlined, which, for actual fire
duty, is little better than no hose at all. All the fire
departments from other cities outside of London that I met,
without an exception, use hose unlined, which shows that
scientific fire-fighting does not enter largely into the English
fire departments.
Regarding the discipline of the London service, there is
nothing to make it superior in this respect to an American
service. It may compare favorably, and no more. As in
any large body of men, whether a fire service or an army,
black sheep can be found, and men will take their chances of
being caught in violation of the rules. A soldier on guard
in the face of an enemy will desert his post for a short time,
even when he knows the penalty is death. London has her
share of delinquents.
I saw7 many things which, accustomed to the strictness of
an American service, surprised me in London. T suppose
they are allowable according to their rules. In some of the
40 City Document No. 12.
houses I saw the captain standing at the door on the main
floor of the house, partly in uniform, smoking a pipe, with
the men in groups lounging around doing the same. Some-
times little children of two or three years of age would he
seen playing around the engine. A happy family picture,
yet hardly in accordance with strict discipline. I spoke to
one of the memhers of the service in regard to this particular
fact, and he seemed to take it as a matter of course. His
reply was, "Why shouldn't we do it? The engine-house is
our home." I believe that, in the matter of discipline, more
is demanded and received in an American department than
in an English service.
The system of utilizing the Thames river for fire-fighting
purposes is by having engines on barges, and towing the
barges with steam-tugs. It is not so good as the American
Goo
system of having steamer and tug combined in what we call
a fireboat. Such good results are not obtainable either in
quick manoeuvring or general efficiency at a fire.
London needs sliding-poles for its engine-houses, hanging
harnesses, horses educated to run out at an alarm, an elec-
trical system of sending in alarms which notify the whole
service, two ways of sending them out, as in America, so
that if one misses the second will not; an increased number
of men in her companies, as, owing to details, :i company
frequently goes to a fire with only a few men. In short, she
should adopt American fire-department methods more fully
than she has.
From England we can learn much in the way of preven-
tion of fires. In London, Liverpool, and in other large
English cities which I visited, I saw no poles or electric
wires of any kind in the streets. Everything was under-
ground, and this is a remarkable evidence of the common-
sense of the people, when we consider that in London alone
over 40 different local governments have charge of the streets
in matters of this kind. Their reasons for not allowing wires
or poles on the streets are : First, danger from fire ; next,
because it spoiled the beauty of the streets. Quite a number
of wires are run over the house-tops, not as with us on heavy,
wooden, inflammable structures, but on small iron posts with
cross-arms of the same metal, some of them carrying moi*e
than a hundred wires. The wires underground are in many
cases laid in shallow iron trenches, placed under the side-
walk about a foot below the surface, and the results from
having the wires underground have been successful in the
extreme. Seven years ago, during a storm, the wires of the
whole London fire service were blown down, and they were
without any fire alarm for some time. Immediately after
Fire Department. 41
that the post-office authorities allowed the fire department the
use of their underground wires, and the result has been little
or no expense in their maintenance and far better results in
service. Before the London County Council the question of
subways for the general use of underground wires of all
kinds is under consideration, and subways are partly in use,
from which the city receives rent.
The number of police on duty in London as compared
with Boston is very large, and is an excellent provision, not
only from a police, but from a fire, standpoint. In old Lon-
don, about a square mile in territory, there are a thousand
police ; that is, more on duty in one mile than in the
whole of Boston — 37£ square miles. The balance of the
city, together with portions of the country, including ter-
ritory 15 miles each side of Charing Cross as a centre, is
covered by the metropolitan police, 15,000 to 16,000 in
number. They come under the jurisdiction of the Home
Secretary. A small portion of the metropolitan police look
after the dockyards at Chatham and elsewhere.
The benefit to be derived from their system of a numerous
police service is that the streets are thoroughly patrolled,
and if the police do their duty the chances of a fire being
discovered in its earlier stages are greater with a large num-
ber of police than with a small number. Of course, a fire
may be burning in a building at night for a considerable
length of time, and the smoke be drawn up by way of the
roof through elevator shafts or other openings, and not be
discovered even by the utmost vigilance of the police service
until the building is all afire. These conditions exist in
London, but in a modified form as compared with an Ameri-
can city. There is no doubt that the thorough patrolling of
a city, especially at night, prevents large fires by giving
early alarms. Boston, which, like every other American
city, needs to have its fires discovered and the department
notified at once, is behind London in this respect.
One never ceases admiring, the building construction of
London from a fire standpoint. Wooden buildings are un-
known, and wood enters into the interior construction to a
small degree as compared with our American buildings.
The roofs are of tile, slate, or metal, and are so constructed
as to be easy of access from one building to another.
Shingle and inflammable roofs such as we have would be a
curiosity.
Elevators are not used largely, neither are boilers for the
purpose of giving steam-heat. The result is that the build-
ings are not cut up with elevator-shafts and openings for
running steam-pipes ; neither are the insides of the buildings
42 City Document No. 12.
in winter, by the use of steam, dried in such a way by ex-
cessive heat as to make them easy food for fire. How differ-
ent is it in all these particulars in America ! High buildings
make elevators necessary ; the excessive cold of winter
necessitates the use of steam-heat and fire of all kinds to
such a degree that the interior of the buildings, being mostly
of wood, are dried ; and as we lack that moisture and even-
ness of climate which seem to be a feature of London, our
liabilities to fire are greater than theirs, even if we were on
equal terms with them in building construction.
I talked with insurance men, and, in speaking of the
merits of an American city and London from a fire stand-
point, they said it was a mere matter of construction. The
buildings are low and small in area, and the monumental
effects which we get in some of our buildings are unknown.
The only criticism I heard of the London buildings was from
a member of the fire department, who, speaking of some late
construction, — steel beams, tiling, and brick, — called it
dangerous. Buildings of that kind pass with us for fire-
proof.
During the last fifty years London has increased in popu-
lation and size in a way that reminds one very much of an
American city. Authorities ascribe this to the fact that, in-
stead of land being leased, many holders have been selling it
outright. The result is that people desirous of owning their
land and houses have come in large numbers and settled in
London.
Even if London had a building law only for the last fifty
years, it would be to-day a city of excellent construction ;
but the building law runs back to the days of King Charles,
and the result is a perfect city so far as buildings are con-
cerned.
The causes of large fires in American cities are high build-
ings on narrow streets with large floor areas, built partially of
wood. London is not troubled with buildings of this kind,
even of a fire-proof construction, because as far back as 1855,
and probably even earlier, the building act passed by Par-
liament had this clause :
" Every warehouse or other building used either wholly
or in part for the purposes of trade or manufacture, contain-
ing more than 216,000 cubic feet, shall be divided by party
walls in such manner that the contents of each division thereof
shall not exceed the above-mentioned number of cubic
feet." 1
1 The building law as amended in 1890, however, somewhat chansred the provisions
of this clause, and allowed 450,000 cubic feet to a building, by special vote of the
county council, provided it is used for one business not of an inflammable nature.
Openings are allowed in the party walls also under certain restrictions.
Fire Department. 43
This would allow a building to be built 60 feet front, 60 feet
deep, and 60 feet high. In other words, a building of this
kind would contain three floors of only 3,600 square feet to
a floor, provided each story was 20 feet high. If a person
desired a building of larger floor area than this, he would be
compelled to build a less number of stories, or if he wanted
more stories he would have to build them less than 20 feet
high.
With 3,600 square feet to a floor, buildings perfect in con-
struction, no wood to speak of, the chances of large fires are
small in the extreme. Contrast this with the large inflam-
mable buildings which we have, many of them running over
50,000 square feet to the floor, with six or seven stories of
equal area loaded with inflammable goods, and you have the
easy task which lies before the London fireman, and the
herculean task which faces the American fireman.
The largest store of its kind in London is Whiteley's, a
large retail dry-goods house. Instead of having large open
floors, acres in area, it is divided into numerous low and
small buildings, averaging less than 1,000 feet in area to
a floor, each building divided by brick walls of great thick-
ness, and with double iron doors where openings are made
from one store to another. Its lowness (a characteristic of
the London building), the thick brick walls dividing it, the
small areas of floor, and the sample-like appearance of its
stock, would make it an easy building to handle in case of
fire by an American department ; yet it has had numerous
costly fires, even from an American standpoint.
I noticed one other thing: which shows the ^ood business
judgment of the mercantile community of London. This is
a tendency to divide a large business into separate depart-
ments, using one building for storage purposes, another for
manufacturing purposes, and a third for showing the stock
for sale. The tendency in an American city for using a
building not only for sale purposes, but for storage and
manufacturing, is not general in London. The result is a
decrease in the fire hazard.
Another important practice of theirs is that of not having
large windows in their buildings. Their buildings do not
present so much glass area in the front and sides as with us.
When a fire occurs it is easier to confine it within the build-
ing, as the small windows do not present such opportunities for
large volumes of flame escaping and setting fire to buildings
on the other side of the street.
I have been at some pains to look into the question of the
extension of fires in London from one building to another.
Of the fires occurring while I was there, quite a proportion
44 City Document No. 12.
were large, and extended to buildings other than that where
the fire originated. Three days after I sailed, on July 18, a
fire occurred which involved 50 buildings, 40 of which were
destroyed and 10 partially so. The loss according to the
newspapers was $7,500,000 — an enormous amount from a
London standpoint. The section where this fire occurred I
had been through several times. It is in the heart of the
city, close to the Mansion House and to the Bank of England.
The buildings were low, well constructed, and small in area,
and the only difficulty that they presented was the fact that
they were partially stored with goods of an inflammable
nature. The only way that I can account for such a disas-
trous and extensive fire occurring in the heart of London
among such small buildings is the fact that it was allowed to
get great headway, owing to un-American methods of the
London service. They are apt to place too much reliance on
their building construction, and the slow burning of their
fires. The fire service of London, excellent though it may
be in many ways, is modelled with the idea of putting out
most of the fires that occur, but it is not able to cope with
large fires. What we want is their building construction,
and what they want is our fire-department methods. There
is some excuse for us because of the newness of our country,
the rapid growth of our cities, and the fact that our age of
wood is not a thing of the past. For London, the capital of
a great country, the mechanical ability of whose people is
unquestioned, whose common sense is shown in many ways
that go to prevent fires, there is no excuse for its not adopt-
ing American fire-fighting methods.
It might not be out of place for me to say that I am on
record while in London as giving my opinion of the London
brigade to a prominent officer of a large insurance company.
It was as follows: "That the department had not enough
men, its apparatus was not heavy enough to cope with large
fires, and that, although they had been more or less for
tunate for some time past, yet, even in London, admirably
though it was built, there were opportunities which might
arise at any moment, and the service would not be able to
cope with the crisis." I am free to admit that I do not be-
lieve my opinion had much weight at that time, for it is to
the credit of London citizens that their service stands high
in their estimation ; yet my judgment was borne out in fact
after my departure by the results of the fire which I have
quoted above. The chances for large fires are not so numer-
ous in London, because of construction, as they are with us;
yet, because of their service, which is modelled for fighting
small fires, there are many opportunities. The changes in
Fire Department. 45
business methods in America have increased our fire risk
enormously in twenty years, and even in conservative London
they have made the conditions different from what they were
twenty and thirty years ago. It seems to me as if the au-
thorities there had not realized this fact..
I was at a considerable disadvantage in Paris owing to my
small knowledge of French, and at times it was necessary to
pursue my inquiries through an interpreter.
The area of the city is about 30 square miles and the
population 2,500,000. It has beautiful squares and streets
of more than average width. This is owing mainly to the
relaying out of the city some years ago. The water service
is good for a continental city, the engines connecting directly
with the hydrants. The buildings, although tall, are small
in area.
The fire department consists of over 1,700 men of the French
army under the usual officers, — colonel, majors, captains,
etc. The men are young, but not as powerful-looking as
those in an American service. Every three years the rank
and file practically change, owing to the expiration of the
army service term. They have a system, I was informed,
which allows men to serve longer if they desire, and in this
way, as the service is considered easy, they manage to keep
many men of experience.
I inspected their drill school. In a modified form it re-
sembles an American school, yet it is not of so high a grade
or so far-reaching in results as one of ours.
They have about 12 fire stations or barracks in the whole
of Paris. Connected with these or close by are the fire-
houses, some of which are modelled on the American plan,
with sliding poles, hanging harnesses, all complete, as intro-
duced by them some few years since.
The engines have double pumps some 12 or 14 in number,
with a capacity of from 300 to 400 gallons a minute. They
are excellent in their construction.
The hose is carried on reels attached to wagons, and in
the barracks, in addition, they have ladders stored which are
drawn to fires by horses. They use hand-pumps and other
small appliances to a great extent. Their large ladders are
about fifty feet in length when extended ; some of them may
be a little longer. A few men can handle them, but their
methods are slow and complicated. The construction of the
ladders, and the method of throwing them, render it impos-
sible to place them in position at a fire with celerity.
I looked in vain for pompier ladders. It is a popular
belief on our side of the Atlantic that the American pompier
46 City Document No. 12.
ladder had its origin in France. If such is the fact, strange
to say, the French people know nothing about them. They
have a short ladder of the regular style, with a long hook on
each side, which they use to scale with from one balcony to
another. Their buildings are constructed in that way. This
may have given the idea to America; but America has so
improved upon it that even its originators would not rec-
ognize it.
The use of ropes, life-belts, etc., as practised in American
departments, is unknown in Paris. Speaking of the Ameri-
can method of using ropes in saving life, as shown at the
congress of firemen in London, a captain of the Paris depart-
ment expressed to me the greatest surprise at the ability
shown by the American fireman. The rope drill, as prac-
tised by us, is utterly unknown either in England or France.
Siamese streams are not used in Paris. Once they had
the appliances, but they claim they found no use for them.
The American system of shut-off nozzles, and all those
modern ideas of fire-fighting, which, in the aggregate, do so
much to make a service efficient, I failed to find in either
London or Paris.
The hose used principally in Paris — and in this respect it
is behind London — looks like a linen fabric unlined. They
use some small lined hose, but I saw very little of it.
Paris, like London, has no wires or poles on its streets to
interfere with the proper working of its department at fires.
There are some overhead wires, but these are carried in the
least objectionable way to the firemen — on structures over
the roof's of the buildings.
There are but few fire-alarm boxes in Paris. These are
small, with glass fronts, placed in a way that makes them
hard to find. In addition, they have over a hundred stations
scattered over the city, where they have small appliances and
a few men. No outsider is allowed to enter the barracks of
the Paris department without the consent of the commanding
officer. After getting a written permit from the colonel in
charge, I was shown the operations of the department by a
captain in the service. I asked to be taken to one of these
small outlying stations, and he said that there was nothing
to see there, that they were doing away with them.
They are putting in a new fire-alarm system winch con-
sists of short posts, each about four feet high, on top of
which is a square iron box with a glass front. The idea con-
veyed b}r the sign attached to it is that the citizen giving the
alarm must wait until the apparatus responds.
In these boxes are telephones which, on breaking the
glass, allow citizens to send in an alarm of fire. The sup-
Fibe Department. 47
position is that by this means they are able to get more de-
tailed information of what is wanted. As far as I could find
out, it was a peculiar kind of telephone, which would not
allow the tire headquarters to talk hack to the party giving
the alarm. They could make a signal which would notify
that an alarm had been received all right, and that is all. If
such is the case, it seems to me that if this telephone system
is to be used at all, it should be of such a nature as to admit
of conversation backward and forward between the party
giving the alarm and the party receiving it. As fast as these
boxes are placed in service, the stations, whose places they
take, are abolished. The eventual result of this system,
if carried out, will be that Paris will have a large num-
ber of telephone stations from which to send in alarms of
fire. The system, though not perfect, is yet worthy of con-
sideration. In my supplementary report I shall give a more
detailed account of it.
A difficulty in all great cities, which we have felt first in
America, is that of numerous fires occurring at one and the
same time. London and Paris have been trying to cope with
this difficulty, but the methods which they follow are not
such as meet the case. The time is not far distant when
London and Paris will be compelled to follow our example.
When an alarm is received in a Paris station it is sent
out in a manner somewhat similar to that of the London de-
partment. They have the same circumlocution in receiving
the alarm and notifying the various district headquarters and
in sending back for more help by messengers. The same
criticism can also be made of their service as of the London,
viz., the impossibility of centralizing it at a moment's notice
and using all the men and apparatus if needed. It is a
peculiar fact, yet true, that, although the French have many
American appliances for quick hitching and getting their
apparatus to a fire, while they connect directly with the hy-
drant and have their hose joined together ready for use, they
fail in many ways. Their horses are not trained to run out
to the harnesses, the halters have to be unhitched, and the
men lead the horses out by hand. The engines have no
method of keeping on steam while in quarters, and they do
not make ready for use until after they arrive at a fire.
There is an absence of that snap and vigor which character-
ize an American service. It strikes me that the men are in
the same position that we would be in if new and strange
machinery was imported into one of our large mills and we
had no men who were familiar with its operation. It would
be necessary for us to import skilled labor from the country
whence the machine came or wait until the intelligence of
48 City Document No. 12.
the American mechanic found out the secret. What they
need in Paris, in addition to copying our ways and methods,
is the ability to utilize them to the best advantage.
When the Paris apparatus goes to a tire, it is in no great
hurry. On arriving the men run off a line of unlined
hose which looks to be 3^ to 4 inches in diameter. At
the end of this large hose they have a brass cap which
they screw on, and from this run small lines of hose,
a trifle larger than ordinary garden hose. They can use
two lines, possibly more, in this way from one large
line of hose. Some of the small hose is rubber and some of
it linen unlined, and with this kind of hose they fight a
fire. The size of their engine streams varies from five-
eighths of an inch to one inch. As they use unlined hose,
with its faulty delivery and tendency to leak, and as the
couplings are somewhat on the key-clutch principle, they
cannot get efficient water-streams. In America we are par-
ticular in the extreme not to allow hose to leak when carried
through buildings, yet in Paris they seem to think nothing
of this particular point.
Fires very seldom extend beyond the room in which they
originate, and the cases are rare in which it gets from one
building to another. I was present at a small fire which
took place in the basement of a hotel, with small stores in
the lov\er story, and on the stories above were suites for
tenants. It was curious to see the people looking down
from the windows above at the firemen at work in the base-
ment, apparently not in the least disturbed. They could do
it with impunity, for the buildings are not built to burn.
The firemen had an arrangement similar to an air-pump
which supplies a diver with air, and were working it to fur-
nish air to those who were in the cellar below. The smoke
that came out from the cellar did not amount to anything in
volume, and for about half an hour the apparatus and the
men stood around there, and finally, when the fire seemed to
be all out, a man came out who had over his head a diver's
helmet made out of light metal. He evidently was the one
who was in the thick of the smoke and to whom the air was
being pumped. After him came more firemen, and in their
hands they had the cause of the fire, about a bushel-basketful
of excelsior, part of which was burned.
My stay in Paris was a little over a week, and during that
time I saw considerable of the fire service. The arrange-
ment for furnishing air to those in cellars, such as they had
on their apparatus, struck me as being too heavy for a
man, especially in some cellars such as we have. The
idea impressed me as excellent, and possibly might be
Fire Department. 49
used in American cities in cellar fires which did not travel
fast.
On all their apparatus the French carry oxygen for the
purpose of reviving those who may have been affected by
smoke. Here again is an excellent idea, but of its practica-
bility a medical man would be best able to express an
opinion.
In their methods and as scientific fire-fighters, the French
are somewhat like the English. Neither London nor Paris
has had the daily practical experience that the American
fireman has. We have learned the trade scientifically from
daily combat with fires, unequalled in their fierceness and
danger the world over, because of the construction of our
cities. It is not science to use the hose they do, and it is
not science to have a body of supposed trained men looking
after the fire interests of a great city like Paris change so
constantly. The trained, scientific fireman comes only with
long years of practical experience. In this, both London
and Paris seem to be sadly wanting.
The buildings of Paris are better than those of London.
Although higher, they are so arranged that all the rooms
appear to have windows opening out of doors, and they are
erected around interior courtyards. These courtyards, to-
gether with many open spaces and broad streets, allow the
tire department to reach fires easily and quickly.
The officers and men of the Paris department, like those
of London, know nothing about the construction of build-
ings, neither do they make inspection of them, nor are they
by rule compelled to have a knowledge of their interior or
exterior construction. The London service is under civil-
ians, and some people may give that as a reason for its
action, but the Paris service is military, and so much is
claimed for the military, that it is a strange comment that
this most essential thing in fire -fighting, viz., that the offi-
cers at least should inspect and know their buildings, is com-
pletely ignored in Paris. They have plans on file at the
headquarters of the public buildings and of theatres, and
this is the nearest they come to paying any attention to
building construction. I asked an officer how they found
their way in a building on fire, and he replied that the
owner or somebody round there showed them.
Paris uses the army for a fire department, in my opinion,
first, because of its cheapness; lastly, in order that so large
a body of men may come under the jurisdiction of the na-
tional government, not the municipality of Paris. The
police come under the national government for the same
reason.
50 City Document No. 12.
The life-saving appliances in Paris, from my limited ex-
amination, can bear no comparison with those of an Ameri-
can city. They are not even abreast of the London service ;
in fact, the engine and fire appliances of Paris would hardly
be large enough in number for an American city of 100,000
population, and would not be for Paris, were it not for the
wonderful building construction.
In my opinion, it would be well for us to consider the
question of a heavier system of policing and patrolling on
the part of the lire department in the extreme hazardous
sections of Boston. If foreign cities tind it beneficial, why
not Boston ?
In the engines which I saw in England, outside of
London, the idea of having three pumps seemed to me to
be an improvement on the average two-pump engines. In
Paris, they have in service boilers on their engines of a
water tubular pattern. Attached to the boilers is a light
condenser to exhaust the steam back into the boiler, or they
can exhaust into the air.
It might be possible for an engine to be built with three
pumps instead of two, and by adopting the system of water
tubular boilers, get better results than we receive from our
engines. The gain from an engine of this kind would be
economy in the use of fuel, lightness in weight, and large
water- throwing capacity.
Water tubular boilers, I understand, have been tried in
England in connection with fire-engines, and it is claimed
that they are a success. We might submit the question rs
to the feasibility of this proposition to the engineer of the
city of Boston. In this connection it would be advisable
also to have a scientific test made by him of the number of
gallons per minute the engines of the Boston fire department
are able to throw on a fire, not alone in theory, but in actual,
practical work. The result of this test would best show the
wisdom of trying this new system of engine. In connection
with this test, the principles of getting the best results from
two-way, three-way, and four-way Siamese streams could be
obtained ; in fact, the whole question of water delivery could
be investigated, especially the subject of a lighter substitute
for the present heavy suction used in connecting an engine
to the hydrant.
There is no doubt that the great danger of Boston in the
future is from the faulty construction of the past. It is
essential that not only the officers, as is now the case, should
have a thorough knowledge of construction of buildings, but
that as far as possible it should extend to the men. Our
patrol system makes it possible for a man to know the con-
Fire Department. 51
ditions that surround buildings on the outside. By allow-
ing them access to maps it is possible for them, in theory,
to obtain a knowledge of their inside construction. It seems
to me that when promotions occur hereafter, it would be
advisable to embody as part of the subjects in which the men
should be examined, their knowledge of the results obtained
from water, as developed by the tests which I have sug-
gested, and also their knowledge of the outside and inside
construction of buildings in the district where they have
done duty.
I noticed in Paris, in some of the large buildings which I
personally examined, there were men attached to the store,
who were formerly members of the Paris brigade. Their
duty, I was informed, was to patrol all the floors of the
building, and see that the goods were so placed, and every-
thing carried on in such a manner, that the danger from tire
was minimized. This is an idea that can be enlarged upon
here in Boston. In each of our large establishments that are
considered hazardous, a fire department can be formed out
of the employees, and the organization be made under the
supervision of an officer of our fire service. To get the best
results from such an organization, it should be inspected at
stated intervals by a fire official. This inspection should ex-
tend to the fire appliances of the building.
I have examined the building laws of Paris and London,
as well as the laws governing explosives and petroleum,
also their system of inspection, and other matters of im-
portance, and will submit, as soon as possible, a separate
report upon those subjects.
52 City Document No. 12.
SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT.
There is no way of ascertaining the actual fire losses on
property in London. The fire brigade keeps no record.
They say that it is not their business to do so. Unlike us,
they give no attention to this point.
It is also absolutely impossible to obtain exact figures of
the losses of insurance companies, for any year or series of
years. It is the custom of every company (with some ex-
ceptions) to publish full particulars of its receipts and loss
payments as a whole, at home and abroad. But no company
thinks to make public its experiences in any London district.
The reason for this is, that if the experience be an adverse
one, the company can quietly curtail its operations in that
district ; and if favorable, it tan continue to make a profit
without attracting too much attention. The correct figures,
doubtless, are in the hands of some insurance managers,
but they do not make them public.
London is divided for insurance purposes by each company
into practically three sections : the West End, for good resi-
dential property ; the city, for large wholesale and retail
warehouses, and storage risks ; and the East End, for manu-
facturing and residential risks.
The residential insurances are on a good paying basis.
Although the rates vary from i- per cent, to 2 per cent., the
loss ratio of the larger companies fluctuate between 5 and 15
per cent, of the gross premium income of these West End
branches. This statement applies to three of the principal
insurance companies of London. Separate figures for the
East End and city cannot be obtained, but the combined
percentage for London is estimated as follows :
During the last ten years the percentage of losses has fluc-
tuated between 40 and 60 per cent, of the premiums. The
loss for last year is estimated as not exceeding 50 per cent.,
and it varies from about 25 per cent, in one company to
about 70 per cent, in two other prominent companies. This
is based on the judgment of authorities. It is not too much
to estimate 50 per cent, of the premiums as the loss.
This is about the same showing on insurance profits as
that made by the Boston insurance companies during the
last ten years, with this difference, that the insurance rates
are at least twice as high in Boston as they are in London.
Fire Department. 53
The yearly premium receipts for the London district in
detail it was impossible for me to obtain, but it may be cal-
culated on a basis off per cent, on the total insurance of the
companies, based upon their contribution to the support of
the London brigade. This would be about £1,432,000.
The insurance companies are desirous of making as large a
profit as possible in London, because the business there is
usually reckoned to cover deficits in what they call the prov-
inces and abroad. The business of the fire offices for the
country and abroad shows a total loss of 13,000,000 on a
premium income of 19,000,000.
The insurance commissions paid to agents are reckoned at
about 16 per cent. The expenses of management, it is
claimed, are 18 per cent.
According to the annual report of the London Salvage
Corps, which is supported by the insurance companies to look
after their property, it is estimated that 25 per cent, of the
total number of fires in the metropolitan area have no in-
surance. This is an extraordinarily large proportion, but
the statement, coming from such an authority, cannot be
questioned. Many small householders and business firms
do not insure at all.
The salvage corps' report draws attention to several pecu-
liarities in fire risks. In 11 years the number of fires has
increased 60 per cent., and the serious fires have fallen from
14 to 6 per cent. The claim is made that this result is
caused by the special attention given to the isolation of por-
tions of large warehouses and storage premises, and also to
a lately introduced system of patrolling and inspecting under
the directions of the fire-insurance managers. The best re-
sults have been shown in wharf and warehouse business.
As near as I could ascertain, what they call warehouse
business means a business carried on in any building occu-
pied by a firm in the dry goods, furniture business, etc.
They seem to have had a somewhat similar experience in
London to what we have recently had in our American cities,
doubtless coming; from the changes in business methods, to
which I have heretofore alluded.
About two years ago, the centre mile in London, around
the Mansion House, was yielding large fire losses in what
they called " warehouses," dealing in Manchester goods of a
nature similar to dry goods. The insurance was raised 50
per cent., the results showing a loss even then; and while
I was staying in London the companies were considering the
question of making a still further increase of 20 per cent, on
insurance rates. Their method of increasing the rate was
to take every warehouse dealing in Manchester goods, and
54 City Document No. 12.
raise the premiums in the proportion that I have mentioned.
But they did not apply this increase to every business build-
ing in the district.
I found it impossible to obtain definitely the number of
fires in London causing a loss of over $25,000, but doubt-
less those marked "serious" in the brigade report are
above that amount. In regard to notable fires, the reports
of 1892 will show the cases of extension from one building
to another. The construction of their buildings is of such
a nature that the losses are confined generally to the build-
ing in which the fire originates, although during my short
stay there were a number of extension fires fully as large as
would have occurred during the same time in any American
city.
For many years London has been singularly free from
disastrous fires. Recently, however, she has had a different
experience. The history of fires in great cities is more or
less similar. They may have years free from conflagrations,
and then they come with a vengeance. London has been no
exception to the rule.
It has been said again and again that conflagrations were
limited to American cities, owing to the wooden and careless
construction. London has been held up for our edification.
Yet a week or so ago they had a large conflagration, and a
few da}Ts later they had another. Of the latter one it has
been impossible for me to obtain the exact losses, owing to
the peculiar methods that characterize the fire brigade's
records. In this fire, the newspapers claim that the losses
are between seven and eight millions. (See Plate No. 1.)
The accompanying plan of the fire was sketched and
afterwards verified by a competent engineer. The amount
of territory burned over was large. Forty buildings
were destroyed, and 20 partially so. The buildings
were all very small in area. The heights of the build-
ings ran from 31- to 5 stories, very few of them the latter
height. The buildings were well constructed, in man}'
cases occupied by offices, and presented no great diffi-
culties in case of fire from the construction standpoint.
The fire started in the corner of the building, at the
point marked by a star, in the stationery shop of William
Brown & Co. Owing to the slowness of the methods char-
acterizing the fire departments on the other side, and the
inflammable contents of the building, the fire, doubtless, got
great headway. Even under these drawbacks it would
seem, however, that, with so many partition walls, the fire
should have been confined to its point of origin. If in such
buildings as these in London, which are built not to burn, a

disastrous fire of this kind can occur, the wonder is that in
American cities, with their large-area buildings and wooden
construction, we have not had greater conflagrations.
The history of fires in New York, Chicago, and Boston
shows somewhat similar results. A few days ago New York
(if you will remember) had a large fire, the loss upon
which, according to reports, was over $2,000,000. I say,
according to reports, because the final results, doubtless,
will curtail that figure. (See Plate No. 2.)
I submit a plan of that fire. The star marks the place
where the fire started in Campbell & Co.'s paper-hanging
establishment. The unbroken floor area of the building
where the fire began was large. The result was inevitable,
with such a large area filled with inflammable material. A
great volume of flame was produced, and although 46 pieces
of apparatus were on duty, the flames jumped a street 55
feet wide, and burned over 20 buildings.
If at this fire there had been other large-area buildings
adjoining the territory burned over, it would have required
all the efforts of the excellent New York service to have
prevented further spread, and it is a question whether they
would have succeeded in so doing.
I submit a plan of a fire in Chicago that occurred some
time ago, which still further illustrates the dangers from
large floor areas and ill-constructed buildings. The star
shows where the fire started. It began in a one-story frame
shed in the rear of a block of five buildings full of windows,
and from this block the flames jumped a street 80 feet wide
and burned the low buildings on the other side, three and
four stories high ; also the low buildings in the rear, on the
other side of School street. The number of buildings
affected in this fire was about 20. (See Plate No. 3.)
Here, again, was a case that, owing to the fact that in the
neighborhood there were only low three-story brick build-
ings, the fire did not extend farther. The number of engines
at this fire was thirty-four. It required the united efforts of
a large part of the Chicago service to stop this conflagration.
We have, as you well know, the same trouble in Boston
that they have had in New York and Chicago ; but our large
floor area buildings appear to be more poorly constructed
than in the latter cities, and we are unfortunate in the sense
that they are in the neighborhood of other large-area build-
ings, and are surrounded by narrow streets. 1 submit
a plan of the Hecht building fire. (See Plate No. 4.)
The point where the tire was supposed to have started is
shown by the star. It jumped across the small passageway
(over the skylight), 8 feet in width, into the Summer-street
56 City Document No. 12.
building, which had no shutters. By the falling of the walls
the tire went into the building next the one without the shut-
ters, also into the annex buildings on the Federal-street side,
connected with the main building by iron doors. The con-
struction of this building was the usual American construc-
tion which characterized buildings fifteen years ago, — plenty
of wood, some' iron and brick.
These three fires owe their spread to the vast volume of
flame generated in a large floor area. In view of the con-
struction of the buildings, and of the result of these fires, a
great deal of credit should be given to the respective fire
departments, especially so when we compare the fires with
the plan of the fire in London, which spread as far and
destroyed more buildings, With us they would be con-
sidered, from their small size, numerous brick partitions and
good construction, extremely easy to handle in case of fire.
I personally inspected six of the most difficult " warehouse "
risks in London. The business is similar to our large retail
houses. The following are the risks.
The Army and Navy stores pay an insurance of thirteen
shillings to a hundred pounds-:

The plans of these buildings show the benefit accruing
from the building laws, which limit not only areas, but the
heights of the buildings, by the clause which says, " the
cubical contents of any building shall not be over 216,000
feet." This law also compels the use of fire-proof material,
and limits the style of doors that shall be cut through walls.
My personal inspection of these buildings showed that the
floors were generally of concrete, the roofs of slate or metal,
the ceilings concrete, arched bricking used everywhere,
openings made in the walls protected by double steel doors,
party walls of great thickness, subways from one building to
another rather than passages overground, — in short, every-
thing was done to produce perfect construction. The reason
for this action of the occupants was that they might obtain
low rates of insurance. Yet with all this excellence of
construction in London, there are many large houses, as in
Boston, who have to go abroad to obtain all the insurance
they want.

makers, and general house furnishers, are divided into three
divisions. I found the construction well-nigh perfect from
a fire standpoint. In addition they seemed to have provided
every appliance in the way of hose, night watchmen, etc., for
meeting any possible emergency. (See Plate No. 5.)
The average area of each building in division 1 is 1,256
square feet; the heights of the buildings vary from 3 to
4 stories, and in some instances they are 5 stories high.
The stories are excessively low studded, and the 5-story
building in this case, as in most London buildings, appears
to be not higher than an average 3-story building in America.
The total number of buildings occupied by Maple & Co.
is 75 in one division, 12 in another, and 5 in a third. The
result of having so many buildings divided by brick walls,
with double iron doors covering the openings (and the size
of these doors limited), is the general prevention of the
spread of fire beyond the building where it originates.
The theory of the construction of all large buildings in
London is to be praised. It is the same principle which
makes the modern ocean steamer well-nigh unsinkable. A
series of water-tight compartments, with all connections
provided with doors, has robbed the sea of many of its
dangers. The same principle, with fire-proof construction,
applied in buildings in London, has prevented the disastrous
fires from large floor area buildings by which American cities
have suffered.
A few of the marked characteristics of Maple & Co.'s are
concrete ceilings, in many cases stone stairs, windows pro-
tected by iron shutters, and the isolation of the dangerous
portions of the business in specially constructed buildings,
so that in case of fire that particular portion of the business
would be injured and no other =
What is true of the construction of Maple & Co.'s is equally
true, to a greater or less extent, of the plans of five other
buildings.
The Army and Navy Cooperative Society carries on gen-
eral stores somewhat similar to one of our large retail dry-
goods houses. Cne portion of their business is in stores
between Victoria street, Howick place, and Artillery row ;
the other portion between Francis street, Howick place,
Spencer place, Greencoat row, and St. Margaret's place.
The average area of the buildings in the first division is 1,090
square feet ; the total number of the buildings is 49 in the
first division, 23 in the second, and 10 in the third. The
heights of the buildings are 3 stories, 4 stories, and in a few
cases 5 stories. (See Plate No. 6.)
In the examination that I made of these stores, it struck
58 City Document No. 12.
me that their construction was a little better than the aver-
age London building. They were provided with brick
arches, stone stairs, numerous thick brick partition walls,
and an isolation in separate buildings, with brick arched
floors of the departments where danger was to be expected
from fire. The streets were fairly wide, especially so when
the heights of the buildings are considered. In the immedi-
ate neighborhood there appeared to be no other large build-
ings. This reduces the danger.
In William Whiteley's stores there have been many costly
fires in times past, involving large losses, yet, owing to the
method of subdivision into numerous small buildings by
partition walls, the fires have never completely destroyed
the whole property. It is divided into two distinct parts by
Douglass place, under which subways are run. The total
area of one part is 70,400 square feet, and it is divided into
109 buildings. The area of part 2 is 72,000 square feet,
divided into 40 buildings. Owing to the fact that the rate
of insurance paid upon these buildings is 21 shillings, and
the reputation they have enjoyed for large fires, my examina-
tion was very thorough. The portion of the stores facing on
Queen's row are of first-class construction, — concrete, stone
floors, walls of great thickness, double doors protecting
openings in the wall, and brick arches in the basement. In
short, everything seemed to have been done to prevent the
spread of tire. (See Plate No. 7.)
Whiteley's stores are considered the most extensive of
their kind in London. This business is like that of Jordan,
Marsh, & Co , or R. H. White & Co., or even a little more
extensive, as he deals in oils, paints, provisions, and flour,
and has a book-bindery, a butcher shop, and other things
that seem a little out of place in a dry-goods store.
If the same buildings were in Boston they would be con-
sidered a cheap fire risk. The owner, however, I am in-
formed, has been unable to get all the insurance he wanted.
The height of the buildings is so low (in some cases they
hardly average as high as an ordinary American dwelling-
house), and their construction is so good, that the tire
department, either in Boston, New York, or Chicago,
would have no trouble in preventing much damage in case
of fire.
The business quarters of Shoolbred & Co., drapers and
house furnishers, face on Tottenham-court road, 82 feet
wide; Grafton street, 49 feet wide ; Huntley street. 45 feet
wide ; and University street, 44 feet wide. Four stories is
the average height of all the buildings, and very low stories
at that. Measured by the eye, they appear to be about 50

feet high, or even less. Here I found concrete ceilings in
many parts, slate and metal roofs, thick brick walls with double
fire doors protecting the openings, and a well-constructed
building. The total area which the external walls of the
building enclose is 72,000 square feet. The number of build-
ings into which this area is divided is 56. (See Plate No. 8.)
The buildings of Hitchcock, Williams, & Co., facing on
Paternoster row, Paul's alley, and St. Paul's churchyard, are
situated in a section where some disastrous tires have oc-
curred. The total area of the buildings is 24,000 square
feet. This area is divided into 30 buildings. The height
runs from 3£ stories to 4, and in a few cases 5. The same
good construction and the use of thick brick partition walls
is to be found here. In fact, you find it everywhere in
London. (See Plate No. 9.)
Messrs. I. & R. Morley, situated on Gi'esham street, Mill
street, and Wood street, is divided into twenty-eight differ-
ent buildings. The total area within the external walls is
35,100 square feet. The number of buildings into which
this area is divided is twenty-eight ; average area of sub-
divisions, 1,243 square feet. (See Plate No. 10.)
My reasons for referring to these buildings are : first, to
give an idea of their excellent construction ; next, to show
the common-sense methods which characterize the business
men of London in isolating the dangerous portions of their
business, and in the use of brick partition walls, which is the
greatest safeguard for the prevention of the spread of fire.
Again, I desire to contrast the easy task which the London
buildings present to the English fireman with the problem
which faces the American fireman from poorly constructed,
large-area buildings.
To illustrate, and for comparison, I submit the following
plans of American buildings :
No. 11 represents a seven-story and basement, composition
roof, iron shutters, mill construction, well-built building in
Chicago. The fact that it is divided into four parts and is
surrounded by broad thoroughfares, and its general good
construction, makes it a very excellent fire-risk.
No. 12 represents a second square or building in Chicago.
It is divided into eleven different buildings, separated in the
most part one from the other. It has the same good points
that mark the first building. In addition to the excellent
construction and the broad streets upon which the buildings
face, which are marked characteristics in Chicago, the law re-
garding the erection of standpipes is to be commended.
Buildings' of a certain number of stories and over a certain
floor area are required to have permanently fixed on the out-
60 City Document No. 12.
side pipes of the requisite diameter with connections at each
story, andiron ladders with balconies. It places the Chicago
Fire Department in such a position that when they arrive at
a fire they have, by means of this law, water-towers all ready
for use and ladders fixed in position with which they can
reach the top of any building. The good point of this per-
manent pipe, with its connections for hose, is the fact that it
means no extra expense for water to owners or occupants.
The engines make connections from the bottom and supply
the water from the public mains.
Nos. 13 and 14 are representative buildings in New York
City. The widths of the streets on plan No. 13 are 100, 75,
and 60 feet respectively. The building in question is large,
situated on a corner and divided into three parts with double
iron doors, which help wonderfully to protect from the exten-
sion of fire. The general construction is good ; the height,
7 stories in two of the parts and 8 stories in the third
division.
No. 14 represents one business facing on two streets of 100
feet in width and one of 60. It varies in stories from one
to five, as shown by the marginal figures. One portion
divided from the main building by brick walls is 9 stories
high. General construction fair.
The New York and Chicago buildings represent the busi-
ness of one firm.
Plans Nos. 15 and 16 take in squares of property in Boston
and represent the, business of different firms ; yet in single
instances they show larger unbroken areas and that lack of
division brick walls which characterize Plans 11, 12, 13, and
14. The narrowness of the streets with us is remarkable.
In No. 15 the numbers round the edge designate the stories.
The large floor areas which characterize some of the build-
ings are extremely noticeable.
Plan No. 16 takes in a little more than one block or square,
and has all the points that handicap a fire department that
you find in plan No. 15. „
The scale of all these plans being drawn 70 feet to the
inch, it is comparatively easy, by actual measurement, to
estimate the areas of the respective buildings; and it does
not require any expert knowledge to see the advantages of
one city over the other.
The following table gives the largest areas of the buildings
in the plans submitted :

New York has buildings of larger area than those of which
plans are submitted, but in many cases they are of fire-proof
construction, and the same is true of Chicago.
The laws governing explosives, petroleum, etc., in London
are very exhaustive, and contain points which I recommend
to the Boston commission's consideration.
I gave some attention, as instructed by the Board, to the
Metropolitan Buildings Act and the various laws governing-
buildings in' London. I have also made a comparison be-
tween them and the New York and Boston building acts.
There are 550,000 to 600,000 buildings in London, none
of which are of wood, and of this great number previous to
1890 there were only two or three that violate the law and
exceed a greater dimension than 216,000 cubic feet, or an
area of about 3,600 feet to a floor if there are three stories
60 X 60 X 20. One of these buildings is a large gas retort
and one an electric-light company station, for the building
of which special parliamentary sanction had to be obtained.
Fancy in Boston our being obliged to go to Washington
in order to obtain permission to build a large-area building !
The twenty-ninth section of the London County Council Act
of 1890, which allows buildings used for one business of a
non-inflammable nature (by special permission of the county
council) to be built containing 450,000 cubic feet (this is a
building of about 77 feet front by 77 feet deep by 77 feet
high), has only permitted the erection of 15 warehouses.
In other words, there are in London only three buildings, built
by special permission of the English Parliament, larger than
216,000 cubic feet, and only 15 which reach the maximum of
450,000 feet. If under the London law a larger floor area
than about 3,000 square feet is to be obtained, the building
must be two stories or one story in height according to the
area of the floor desired.
If our American cities were built on this plan, what a
"wonderful improvement there would be in our fire records !
London's advantage at present is that she has been reaping
the benefit of excellent laws for years, while in New York
and Boston they are in their infancy.
It would be well to look into the portions of the law which
cover tire-escapes, theatres, protection of light wires used in
electricity, of which Boston takes no notice, and the legal
portion, especially that which refers to the court decisions.
62 City Document No. 12.
The area of light wells is not allowed to go below 100
square feet in London, and must be built of fire-proof ma-
terial. In Boston and New York they are not limited, and
as a result we have reached a very poor state of things in
this direction. Many of our so-called light wells are so small
that they are like flues of a chimney.
The building laws of Boston at the present time resemble
in many particular points those of London. They are to be
commended in the main. Doubtless, during the next year
or two, experience will show necessary changes that should
be made, if it has not already done so, and our laws will
be the perfect ones that a city of Boston's wealth and popu-
lation demands.
New ^ire-Alarm System in Paris.
Paris is divided into 24 districts. Each district has a
central station equipped with the necessary fire apparatus
and a number of men, some of whom are qualified to operate
the electrical apparatus.
These central stations vary somewhat in the extent of their
equipment, the more important of them being denominated
"casernes," and the others "post centrals," the latter being
located in the less important districts, and only having elec-
trical connection with the fire-alarm boxes in their district
and the caserne most convenient to them.
There is one central station, which is the headquarters of
the entire system.
Each caserne is connected not only with its dependent
post central station and some fire-boxes, but to the main
central station. The system is operated by two methods.
By the use of a double wire cable, connections are made
between the several stations, and so arranged that when
standing at rest a ground circuit is formed through a set of
electro-magnetic apparatus located in the central stations,
termed in "this system the "Morse Special."
This apparatus is controlled by mechanical devices in the
fire-alarm boxes, which are set in motion by the person
giving the alarm. An inscription on the outside of each box
says that he is simply to break the glass inserted in the
centre of the door to ensure the desired result. The act of
breaking the glass produces three results, viz. : The door is
thrown open and a mechanical gong on the inside of it is set
ringing in the same manner and for the same purpose as those
of the keyless doors used in the Boston system. A bell in
the central station is also set ringing, indicating to the men
in charge that a call has been made for some box in their
Fire Department. 63
district. The mechanism of the box is also started automati-
cally, a part of which consists of a wheel somewhat like that
in the old district box abandoned in Boston years ago.
The revolution of this wheel transmits to the central
station a series of arbitrary signals, which are recorded on
paper by a Morse register, and when translated by code, in-
dicate the box from which they were sent. By a further
action of the signal wheel the " Special Morse " circuit is
opened, and a metallic circuit established through the tele-
phones, which also form a part of the equipment of each fire-
alarm box.
On the inside of each fire-alarm box are displayed further
instructions to the senders of alarms, to the effect that they
shall immediately communicate to the central station, by
means of the telephone, the location and character of the fire
or other cause for which the call was given. The boxes con-
tain no receivers, consequently the person sending a message
has no means of knowing whether he has been correctly un-
derstood. He is only informed by an inductive sound in his
transmitter, made by the person at the central station, that a
message has been received. In addition the central stations
are equipped with a telephonic system, and are able to talk
with any other central, or with the grand central, as occasion
requires.
On the receipt of an alarm, the party receiving it at the
central makes such a disposition of the apparatus as the size
of the fire may require, by calling upon the posts de ville or
apparatus houses within his district. If in his judgment
there should be additional apparatus sent, he calls on the
main central for further instructions. The whole matter of
moving the apparatus is performed with the telephones, no
use being made of the special Morse service except that of
indicating the signal-box from which the call was sent. If,
however, the telephone service should fail, they then use
their Morse apparatus to transmit their messages between
the central stations.
Notwithstanding the fact that their wires are so placed
beneath the streets as to secure almost absolute safety to
them (chiefly on account of the subways for sewers through
which they pass being so admirably constructed, and be-
cause no high-tension currents from other service are being
discharged into the earth, as in the city of Boston), they
take every precaution to avert or correct any faults that
might occasionally become manifest.
Their lines and stations are tested every day during the
stormy periods of the winter season, and once a week at
other times.
64 City Document No. 12.
This system, as here described, appears to be well
contrived, carefully constructed, and is, no doubt, success-
fully operated. While it is probably everything that a city
like Paris requires, with its practically incombustible build-
ings and broad avenues, it is evident that the tinder-boxes
of Boston would have little chance for safety should a fire in
any of them be allowed to have its way while the apparatus
was being instructed to proceed to the spot by any such
elaborate process.
The system which we have inaugurated of having a tele-
phone in connection with the tire-alarm boxes in Boston on
special circuits, independent of those now in use, should be
extended, and the idea of using telephones for sending in
alarms of fire after the box has been operated should be
thoroughly investigated. To have telephones in all boxes
would be at least a useful auxiliary to the present Morse
key, and it seems to me as if it could be made as reliable, if
not more so. It would serve one purpose, that of minimiz-
ing the danger of losing an alarm when more than one box
is pulled at the same time for the same fire.
The idea which is embodied in the Paris service of auto-
matically sending in an alarm by the mere breaking of the
glass should be adopted in the American fire-alarm box.
Considerable time would be saved over the present system,
which necessitates opening the box and then pulling down
the hook before an alarm is sent.
The time has come for using a telephonic system as an
auxiliary, or even more than an auxiliary, to the present
system in use in American fire-alarm departments. It is
true that we use it in our covering system between our
various houses, but we should go one step further and see
if there is not an advantage to be gained from embodying it
in our public fire-alarm system.
All the above statements I have endeavored personally to
verity. The plans of the fires and of the buildings in Lon-
don are verified by competent men. The information re-
orardino- London insurance has been obtained from managers
in the business of high standing. I have every reason to
believe that it is reliable. London is a great centre for the
insurance business, not only of England, but of other coun-
tries. The methods of carrying it on are admirable, and the
desire on the part of the managers appears to be to obtain a
fair profit on their investments.
In Boston our heaviest losses — and we are no exception
to the rule — have been from dangerous fire-risks, well
known to insurance and fire men. It will be years before
we will reap the benefit of good building laws. In the
Fire Department. 65
mean time, buildings of bud construction, which have been
built in years past, should be specially marked, and every-
thing done to minimize the danger from them in case of fire.
They should be patrolled, together with the dangerous sec-
tions of the city.
The plan of the Board to strengthen the service, both in
water-supply and apparatus, in the heart of the city should
be carried out, and the suburbs of the city receive just what
they require at the present time, and not what their possible
needs will demand some years from now.
The plan of fixed pipes with water connections, and iron
ladders and balconies on dangerous buildings, should be con-
sidered, and, if found advisable, their adoption compelled by
law.
Wires running near dangerous risks should be put under-
ground, or where that cannot be done, run over the tops of
the buildings.
Cooperation on the part of our citizens with the authorities
to bring about the same favorable conditions as exist in
other great cities will aid materially to reduce the fire-risks
of Boston.
Respectfully,
John R. Murphy.

REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER ON TESTS
OF ENGINES.
Engineering Department, 50 City Hall.
Mr. Robert G. Fitch,
Chairman Board of Fire Commissioners :
Dear Sir : In compliance with your request of Septem-
ber 21, 1893, a series of tests have been made of the differ-
ent types and sizes of the steam fire-engines in use in your
department, for the purpose of determining, as nearly as
practicable, their capacity and efficiency under the conditions
actually occurring at fires.
Incidentally, tests were made of the comparative efficiency
of 21-inch and 3-inch fire-hose, of the discharging capacity of
the fire-hydrants, and of the efficiency of the water-tower.
The tests were made under the immediate supervision of
Assist. -Eng. Dexter Brackett, and the method of conducting
the tests was as follows :
All of the tests were made at the Water Department yard
on Albany street. The engines tested were connected with
and drew their supply from a Post hydrant located in the
yard, and connected with the 12-inch main in Albany street
by an 8-inch main 240 feet in length.
The water-pressure at the hydrant was about 42 lbs. when
the engines were not drawing.
The hydrant has an inside diameter of 6| inches, with three
outlets for hose connection, two of 4|--inch diameter and one of
2^-inch diameter, each outlet having an independent valve.
"The steamers were connected with one of the 41-incb out-
lets by means of the ordinary 4-inch suction-hose, and with
one or two exceptions, of which special mention is made
hereafter, all valves on the supply-main and hydrant were
kept wide open during the trials.
Frequent pressures were taken by means of a gauge con-
nected with a piezometer which was coupled to the hydrant
nozzle and to which the suction-hose was connected.
All water used in the boilers was carefully weighed and
the quantity checked by meter measurement. All coal used
by each engine was weighed, but no attempt was made to
obtain the amount of ashes or unburnt coal. All gauges used
were carefully tested by means of a Crosby gauge tester and
the readings corrected when necessary. The hose used was
new Callahan jacket hose having nominal diameters of 21-
and 3 inches, but the actual inside diameters were 2.65 and
3.30 inches,
Fire Department. 67
The length of hose used during the tests was usually 500
feet for each line except when using the large Siamese nozzle,
in which case lines 200 feet in length were used. During
some of the first tests made the lengths of the lines were 400
feet.
At the Lincoln-street tire the average length of the 71
lines of hose used was 530 feet and at the Tremont Temple
fire it was 500 feet.
Standard smooth nozzles were used in all tests, with a
single exception, when a test was made to show the compara-
tive efficiency of smooth and ring1 nozzles. The quantity of
water discharged by the steamers was calculated from ob-
servations of the pressure, made by means of gauges at-
tached to piezometers at the base of the play pipes using the
well-established formula deduced from the experiments of
Mr. J. li. Freeman. The experiments of Mr. Freeman,
which were made with great care and covering a great variety
of patterns of nozzles as well as a large range of pressures,
proved that by carefully conducted observations the dis-
charge from any of the standard nozzles can be determined
within one-half of one per cent.
Careful measurements were made of the diameters of the
nozzles, and in nozzles of the same nominal diameter there
was found a variation of .014 of an inch.
The engine tests were conducted in the following manner :
Steam was first raised in the boiler to a pressure at which
the engine could do practical service ; the fire was then
drawn and a new fire started with weighed fuel. As soon as
the steam pressure began to rise the engine was started, and
run with, as nearly as possible, a uniform steam and water
pressure.
Changes in the conditions were made at periods of from
fifteen to thirty minutes, either by changing the sizes of the
nozzles, the steam pressure, or the length or size of the lines
of hose, the object of the tests being to ascertain the quantity
of water which each engine was capable of throwing upon a
fire in continuous service, and not the quantity which might
possibly be discharged through a short line of hose or an
open butt for one or two minutes.
Observations of the steam and water pressures at the en-
gine were made every minute, and of the water pressure at
the nozzles every thirty seconds. In the tables giving the
results of the trials averages of these observations are given.
All coal used under the boilers and all water fed to the
boilers were carefully weighed. Pressures were taken on the
supply-main at the base of the hydrant, on the 2^-inch out-
let of the hydrant and at a piezometer attached to the 4£-inch
68 City Document No. 12.
outlet with which the suction-pipe from the engine was con-
nected.
These pressures were taken to show the loss of pressure by
friction in the hydrant and the available pressure in the
steamer suction. In the tests of Engines Nos. 27, D, 36,
and 15 pressures were also taken at the suction chamber of
the engine.
Calorimetric measurements of the amount of moisture in
the steam furnished by the different types of boilers were
made on Engines No. 27, No. 15, and No. 23.
Indicator cards were taken from the steam cylinders of
Engine D and Engine No. 15.
The number of revolutions made by the engines were
electrically recorded by an instrument made by an employee
of the Fire Department.
Each revolution of the engine closed a circuit and was
recorded on a paper tape. By the use of a stop watch the
number of revolutions per minute was easily and accurately
determined.
In order to obtain information in regard to the effect of a
hydrant supply as compared with drafting, tests were made
of Engines No. 43 and No. 36 taking water from a large
box which was floated in the dock alongside of the Water
Department wharf. The box was supplied with fresh water
from a hydrant in the yard.
Tests have been made of Amoskeag engines of four sizes,
three sizes of Clapp and Jones engines, and two sizes of en-
gines of the Silsby pattern. These comprise the patterns
and sizes of engines which are now in general use by the
department.
Table No. 1 gives the general dimensions of these engines,
and the statements and tables appended to this report give
in detail the results of all the trials.

Engine No. 36.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 498
gallons. Tested November 8, 1893.
The engine was started at 1.14-40 P.M., with steam at
60 lbs.
From 1.14-40 P.M. until 2.29-30 P.M., or 74 minutes 50
seconds, water was forced through two 500-foot lines of hose
and discharged through two 1-|- inch nozzles. The steam
pressure during the greater portion of this time was from
60 to 80 lbs. and the average water pressure at the engine
130.9 lbs., with a discharge of 562 gallons per minute. The
engine was shut down for 4 minutes 35 seconds for the pur-
pose of changing the size of nozzles and removing the
strainer in the suction-pipe, as there was a loss of from 3 to
4 lbs. pressure between the hydrant and the suction chamber
of the pumps. The engine wTas then run for 42 minutes 35
seconds with a steam pressure of 106.3 lbs., water pressure
at the engine 128 lbs. with a disch.-irge of 579 gallons per
minute through nozzles 1^-inch and 1^-inch diameters.
After the removal of the suction strainer the pressure in
70 City Document No. 12.
the suction chamber of the engine was practically the same
as at the hydrant. A run of 8 minutes 20 seconds was then
made using 500 feet of 2|-inchhose with a ll-inch discharge
nozzle, followed by a run of 16 minutes using the same length
of 3-inch hose with a ll-inch nozzle.
During the first run with a water pressure of 244.5 lbs. at
the engine the average water pressure at the nozzle was
82.5 lbs., while during the second run the water pressure at
the engine was about 40 lbs. less, but 14 lbs. more at the
nozzle.
The engine was then stopped, the fire drawn, and the size
of the two exhaust pipes reduced from 11-inch to l|-inch
diameters by plugging with w7edges. The engine was again
started at 3.58 P.M., pumping through two lines 500 feet of
2^-inch hose connected by a Siamese coupling with a l|-inch
nozzle.
Under these conditions a water pressure of 147 lbs. at the
engine was maintained for 9 minutes 15 seconds discharging
564 gallons per minute. The 1^-inch nozzle was then re-
placed by two nozzles, 1^-inch and 1^-inch diameters, and
the engine run for 17 minutes 30 seconds with a water pres-
sure of 136.4 lbs. at the engine discharging 596 gallons per
minute.
On November 14th a second trial of this engine was made,
drafting the water, with a lift of from 10 to 12.5 feet instead
of taking the supplv from the hydrant under a pressure of
35 lbs.
For 62 minutes 20 seconds water was thrown from two 11-
inch nozzles through 500-foot lines of hose, with an average
steam pressure of 90 lbs., water pressure at the engine 111.4
lbs., at the nozzles 46.2 lbs., with a discharge of 512 gallons
per minute.
A 1^-inch nozzle was then substituted for one of the Vs-
inch nozzles and the engine run for 28 minutes, giving an
average steam pressure of 78.5 lbs., water pressure at the
engine 110.8 lbs., and at the nozzles 35 and 46 lbs., with a
discharge of 512 gallons per minute. With two lines
siamesed using a ll-inch nozzle a discharge of 575 gallons
per minute was maintained for 9 minutes with a nozzle
pressure of 65.7 lbs.
A comparison of the two tests of this engine seems to in-
dicate that with the same steam pressure the water pressure
at the engine will vary directly as the hydrant or supply
pressure is increased or diminished.
On the first trial the openings through the grate were so
large that a large quantity of coal was wasted and grates
with smaller spaces between the bars were substituted before
the second trial.
Fire Department. 71
Engine Relief D.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 562 gal-
lons. Tested November 6, 1893.
The engine was started at 1.23-40 P.M., and after running
4 minutes with one 500-foot line of 2^-inch hose with a
1^-inch nozzle a second 500-foot line with a l|-inch nozzle
was added, and with the exception of one minute when one
line was shut off to stop a leak at a coupling these conditions
were continued for 89 minutes 20 seconds with an average
steam pressure of 77.5 lbs., water pressure at engine 118.3
lbs., and water pressures at nozzles 39 and 51.2 lbs., with a
discharge of 561 gallons per minute.
Three-inch hose was then substituted for 2^- inch hose on
one of the lines and a run of 18^- minutes was made, using
a 1^-inch nozzle on the 3-inch line and a l|-inch nozzle on
the 2l-inch line.
The 3-inch hose with the larger size nozzle gave the larger
nozzle pressure and a discharge about 30 per cent greater
than the same length of 2^-inch hose. From 3.16 to 3.26
P.M. the nozzle on the 2|-inch hose gave the larger pressure,
probably caused by the partial closing of a valve on the dis-
charge of the 3-inch line. With a li-inch nozzle connected
with a single line of 3-inch hose 500 feet in length the dis-
charge was about 478 gallons, while the same nozzle siamesed
from two 500-foot lines of 2 J, -inch hose gave a discharge of
533 gallons per minute.
With two 200-foot lines siamesed into a l|-inch nozzle a
discharge of 674 gallons per minute, with a nozzle pressure
of 51.7 lbs., was maintained for 8 minutes 5 seconds.
Indicator cards showing the pressure in the steam cylin-
ders were taken at intervals of about 10 minutes, and from
these observations the followino; results have been deduced.

Engine No. 14.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 594 gal-
lons. Tested October 25, 1893.
From 1.15 to 1.52-30 P.M., or for 37 minutes 10 seconds,
two lines of 2^-inch hose each 400 feet in length, with 11-
inch nozzles, were used, with an average steam pressure of
79.2 lbs., average water pressure at the engine 108.5 lbs.,
and at the nozzles 46.5 lbs., giving a discharge of 512 gallons
per minute. By closing a gate on the supply main the press-
ure at the hydrant was reduced from 38 to 18 lbs. for 12
minutes with a reduction of 5 lbs. in the boiler pressure, and
the water pressure at the engine was reduced 16 lbs.
A run of 52 minutes was then made using two 400-foot
lines of hose, with nozzles ]i- and 1| inches in diameter.
Under these conditions the average steam pressure was
78.3 lbs., water pressure at the engine 104.8 lbs., and the
discharge 528 gallons per minute. With a single line of
hose 600 feet in length, with a 11-inch nozzle, 325 gallons
per minute were discharged. Two 500-foot lines of 2^-inch
hose with Siamese coupling and a 1^-inch nozzle gave a
pressure of 45 to 49 lbs. at the nozzle and a discharge of
about 490 gallons per minute.
Using two 200-foot lines of 2|-inch hose with a lf-inch
nozzle, a discharge of between 575 and 600 gallons per min-
ute was maintained for a short time, but the steam pressure
could not be maintained while running at this speed.
Engine No. 27.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 619 gal-
lons. Tested October 24, 1893.
The test was commenced at 1.23-30 P.M., using 1\ and
1| inch nozzles with 500-foot lines of 2^-inch hose.
These conditions were maintained for 41^ minutes, the
average steam pressure during this time being 62.7 lbs.,
the water pressure at the engine 110.3 lbs., and at the nozzles
34 and 43.2 lbs., with a discharge of 520 gallons per minute.
A run of 37^ minutes was then made with the same lengths
of hose and two l|-inch nozzles. Trouble was experienced
in maintaining the steam pressure, and at 2.42-45 P.M. the
engine was stopped for 6| minutes for the purpose of clean-
ing; the fire.
The engine was then run for 55| minutes, pumping
through a single line of hose with a 1^-inch nozzle. Under
these conditions the average steam pressure was 79.8 lbs.,
Fire Department. 73
the water pressure at the engine 187.7 lbs., at the nozzle
57.7 lbs., with a discharge of 356 gallons per minute. Two
trials were then made using a If -inch nozzle siamesed from
two 200-foot lines of 2^-inch hose.
In both instances a discharge of 600 gallons per minute
was maintained for a few minutes, but the steam pressure
could not be maintained. As in the case of Engine No. 23,
tested October 30, an examination showed that there were
leaks around the tubes in the upper head of the boiler which
cut off the draft.
These were repaired and a second test was made on
November 3, 1893.
Second test of Engine 27.
The engine was started at 1 .06 P.M. After pumping for
19£ minutes through two 500-foot lines of 2^-inch hose with
1^-inch nozzles discharging during the last 16£ minutes 587
gallons per minute, a 1^-inch nozzle was substituted on one
of the lines, and these conditions were maintained for an
hour.
At 2.12 P.M. a change was made in the fireman, and in 12
minutes the pressure of steam dropped from 85 lbs. to 30
lbs., necessitating the shutting off of one of the lines for 4
minutes.
Fireman No. 1 took charge of the fire and ran until 2.41
P.M.
At 2.39-30 P.M. 1^-inch nozzles were placed on both
lines.
After 2.41 P.M., Fireman No. 2 being in charge of the
boiler, the steam pressure dropped from 80 to 20 lbs. in 9
minutes and the engine was shut down. A change was
again made in the fireman, and from 2.51-15 to 3.08-50 P.M.
the average steam pressure was 104.7 lbs., the water pres-
sure at the engine being 134 lbs., at the nozzles 40.7 lbs.,
with a discharge of 596 gallons per minute.
Three-inch hose was then substituted for 2^-inch in one
line, and a test was made which well illustrates the benefit
derived from the use of the larger-sized hose. With hose of
the same length and nozzles of the same diameter the pres-
sure at the nozzle of the 3-inch hose was 15.7 lbs. greater
than at the nozzle of the 2J-inch line, and the discharge was
about 20 per cent, greater.
This test was followed by a run of 161 minutes, using a 1£-
inch nozzle siamesed from two 500-foot lines of 2^-inch
hose.
During this time 566 gallons per minute were discharged,
and an average steam pressure of 75.5 lbs. was maintained.
74 City Document No. 12.
With a nozzle If inches in diameter connected with two
2<>0-foot lines of 2^-inch hose a discharge of 700 gallons per
minute was maintained for about 12 minutes, but the boiler
would not continue to supply steam in sufficient quantity to
maintain the speed required, which was from 340 to 360
revolutions per minute.
Calorimetric tests of the amount of moisture in the steam,
made during the first trial of this engine, gave an average of
1.63 per cent, moisture.
Engine No. 43.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 525
gallons. Tested October 20, 1893.
The engine was started at 12.54 P.M., using two 400-foot
lines of 2^-inch hose with 11-inch nozzles. At 1 P.M. a
piezometer coupling attached to the discharge outlet on the
steamer blew off and 4 minutes were lost in reconnecting
hose.
The engine was then run for 48 minutes with a steam pres-
sure of 73.2 lbs., with water pressure at the engine of 115.7
lbs., and at the nozzles 54.7 lbs. With the same lengths of
hose and 11-inch and l^-inch nozzles a run of about an hour
was then made.
The lengths of the lines of hose was then increased from
400 to 500 feet and two li-inch nozzles used for 26 minutes
50 seconds, giving an average steam pressure of 75.2 lbs.,
w7ater pressure at the engine 122.5 lbs., and at the nozzles
50.7 lbs., equal to a discharge of 536 gallons per minute.
The test was finished with a run of 24 minutes using a 1^-
inch ring nozzle on one line and a ll-inch smooth nozzle on
the other. In this case the smaller nozzle discharged the
greater quantity of water, although the nozzle pressure was
greater at the ring than at the smooth nozzle.
On November 16th a test was made to determine the
capacity of this engine when drafting from a tank. The
water was raised from 12.5 to 13.5 feet and delivered through
500-foot lines of hose. Nozzles \\ inches in diameter were
used during the run of 26 minutes 10 seconds, interrupted
for 2 minutes 10 seconds by the breaking of an oil-cup con-
nection on the steam-pipe.
During the first half of the run the steam pressure was
98.2 lbs., the water pressure at the engine 93.1 lbs., and at
the nozzles 38.5 lbs., while during the latter portion of the
run the steam pressure was 87.5 lbs., the water pressure at
the engine 87.1 lbs., and at the nozzles 33.5 lbs.
During the above tests the engine did not work smoothly
Fire Department. 75
nor efficiently, and it was discovered that air was leak-
ing into the suction through the relief valve. After
this had been stopped a 16-minute test was made with
the same nozzles and lengths of hose, and with a steam pres-
sure of 109.3 lbs., the water pressure at the engine was 116.5
lbs., and at the nozzles 47.2 lbs., discharging 517 gallons
per minute. With nozzles 1^ inch and 1| inch in diameter
the results were as follows : average steam pressure 105.9
lbs., water pressure at the engine 112.4 lbs., at the nozzles
37.5 and 48.2 lbs., discharging 547 gallons per minute.
With 1,000 feet of 21- inch hose and a ll-inch nozzle 60.2
lbs. nozzle pressure was given, with a water pressure of 215.7
lbs. at the engine. With the same length of hose and a 1^-
inch nozzle, the nozzle pressure was 43 lbs. and the discharge
308 gallons per minute.
Engine No. 21 .
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 524 gal-

This engine is a duplicate of Engine No. 43. The first
test was made with two lines of 2^-ineh hose each 500 feet
in length, with nozzles 1^ and 1\ inches in diameter. For a
few minutes a steam pressure of 100 lbs. was maintained, but
it fell rapidly, and after a run of 14^ minutes one line was
shut off for 3 minutes in order to raise the steam pressure.
The second line was again let on and for 48 minutes 35
seconds the average steam pressure was 89.4 lbs., the water
pressure at the engine 124.7 lbs., with a discharge of 575 gal-
lons per minute. Two 1| inch nozzles were then used for
41 minutes, the average steam pressure being 90.7 lbs., the
water pressure at the'engine 140.2 lbs., at the nozzles 60 lbs.,
with a discharge of 582 gallons per minute. A second trial
of 24 minutes 10 seconds, using l±-inch and l|-inch nozzles,
was then made, during which a very uniform steam pressure
of 112 lbs. was maintained, giving a water pressure at the
engine of 138 lbs. and a discharge of 607 gallons per minute.
Three short runs were made using a 1^-inch nozzle ; in the
first case 21-inch hose was used, in the second trial 3-inch
hose fitted with a bushing of the size of 2|-inch couplings,
in the third test 3-inch hose with 3-inch couplings.

The engine was started at 1.26-20 P.M. and run until
2 P.M. with a steam pressure of 51 lbs., water pressure at
the engine 98.4 lbs., using two 400-foot lines of hose with
l|-inch nozzles.
The steam pressure was then raised to 70 lbs., and with
the same conditions of hose and nozzles for 19 minutes the
water pressure at the engine was 124.2 lbs., and at the
nozzles 57 lbs.
A 1^-inch nozzle was substituted on one line, and during
a period of 24 minutes, with steam at 65.2 lbs., the water
pressure was 119.6 lbs. at the engine and the discharge was
581 gallons per minute.
The steam pressure was then raised to 85 lbs., and for 45
minutes an average water pressure of 147 lbs. was main-
tained at the engine, giving a discharge of 640 gallons per
minute.
With a lf-inch nozzle, using two 200-foot lines of 2^-inch
hose, a discharge of 725 gallons per minute was maintained
for 9 minutes, and with a 2-inch nozzle the discharge for
12 minutes was at the rate of 697 gallons per minute.
Engine No. 15.
Calculated capacity at 300 revolutions per minute 957 gal-
lons. Tested November 13, 1893.
This engine is a type of the largest capacity engines in
use in the city. During the first test of 64 minutes 10
seconds' duration three 500-foot lines of hose were used, two
of them 2\ inches in diameter with l|-inch nozzles, and one
3 inches in diameter with 1^-inch nozzle.
With a steam pressure of 107.4 lbs., pressures of 53.5 lbs.
were obtained at the 11-inch nozzles and 55.7 lbs. at the
11-inch nozzle, giving a total discharge of 900 gallons per
minute.
The engine was shut down for 26 minutes to repair a
broken boiler feed-pipe. Four lines were then attached, and
with three 11-inch nozzles and one 1^-ineh nozzle the dis-

charge was 978 gallons per minute. With three 200-foot
lines of 2\ hose siamesed into a l|-inch nozzle, and a 500-foot
line of 3-inch hose supplying a 1^-ineh nozzle, the average
steam pressure for 11 minutes 50 seconds was 98.2 lbs., with
the water pressure at the engine 96.6 lbs., giving a dis-
charge of 1,022 gallons per minute.
Three 200-foot lines of 2|-inch hose and one 450-foot
line of 3-inch hose siamesed into a 2-inch nozzle gave for 12\
minutes, with a steam pressure of 95.3 lbs., a discharge of
989 gallons per minute. Indicator cards showing the pres-
sure in the steam cylinders were taken at frequent intervals,
from which the horse power developed has been calculated.

Engine No. 42.
Tested October 26, 1893.
For about one hour water was discharged from two 1^-inch
nozzles, using 400-foot lines of 2|-inch hose.
The averages for 50^- minutes were : steam pressure 78.9
lbs., water pressure at engine 101.6 lbs., at the nozzles 46.5
lbs., with a discharge of 515 gallons per minute. Substitut-
ing a 1^-inch nozzle on one line a run of 37 minutes 50
seconds, with an average steam pressure of 74.5 lbs., gave a
water pressure at the engine of 102.2 lbs., at the nozzles
38.0 and 48.5 lbs., with a discharge of 550 gallons per
minute. With a 500-foot line of 3-inch hose with a l|-inch
nozzle the water pressure at the engine for 9^- minutes was
78 City Document No. 12.
86.4 lbs., at the nozzle the pressure was 71 lbs., and the dis-
charge 31)5 gallons per minute. With l|-inch nozzles, the
same sizes used during the first test, but with one 3-inch and
one 2^-inch line of hose, the lines being 100 feet longer than
before, a 12-minute run gave an average steam pressure of
71.2 lbs., water pressure at engine 96.8 lbs., and a discharge
of 502 gallons per minute.
Using a 1^-inch nozzle with 500 feet of 3-inch hose 441
gallons per minute were discharged with a nozzle pressure
of 40 lbs.
With 500 feet of 2|--inch hose and a l|-inch nozzle the
pressure at the nozzle was 48.5 lbs., giving a discharge of 327
gallons per minute for 10 minutes. With the same length
of 3-inch hose with same pressure at the engine the discharge
was about 30 per cent, greater and the nozzle pressure 20
lbs. more.
The test concluded with a run of 11 minutes, using one 500-
foot line of 2^-inch hose with a l^-inch nozzle, and one 500-
foot line of 3-inch hose with a 1^-inch nozzle, and in this
case the pressure at the l|-inch nozzle was 4 5 lbs. larger
and the discharge 30 per cent, more than from the 2|-inch
hose.
Engine No. 23.
Tested October 30, 1893.
The first run was made using 500-foot lines of hose and
11-inch nozzles. For 27^ minutes the average steam pressure
was 72.8 lbs., water pressure at the engine 104.0 lbs., and at
the nozzles 41.5 lbs., with a discharge of 484 gallons per
minute.
Run No. 2 with the same lines of hose, but with l|-inch
and 1^-inch nozzles, gave for 37 minutes an average steam
pressure of 55.2 lbs., water pressure at engine 86.4 lbs.,
nozzle pressures of 27.5 and 32.75 lbs., and a discharge of
460 gallons per minute.
During this run difficulty was experienced in maintaining
the steam pressure, and at 2.26 P.M. one line of hose was
shut off and for about 30 minutes one 500-foot line of 2A~
inch hose was used with 1^-inch nozzle. For 14£ minutes
of this time the average steam pressure was 53.0 lbs. , water
pressure at the engine 124.1 lbs., water pressure at the noz-
zle39.75 lbs., and for the last 12^ minutes the average steam
pressure was 65.4 lbs., water pressure at the engine 157.4
lbs., and at the nozzle 51.25 lbs.
Another attempt was made to use two lines with 1^ and
1^ inch nozzles, but in 10 minutes the steam pressure
dropped from 70 to 35 lbs., and the engine was shut down
Fire Department. 79
and the fire drawn from under the boiler. After washing
out the tubes a new fire was built and another attempt made
to run the engine under the same conditions, but the steam
pressure could not be maintained above 60 lbs., and after
running for 40 minutes the trial was ended.
An examination and water-pressure test of the boiler made
after the trial showed that there were leaks around the tubes
in the upper head of the boiler. These leaks cut off the
draft so that steam could not be made in sufficient quantity.
These leaks were repaired and a second trial was made on
November 1.
2d Test of Engine 23.
Two 500-foot lines of 2|-inch hose with nozzles 1| inch
and 1^ inch in diameter were used. The engine ran for 49
minutes, when it was disabled by the breaking of a small
tooth in one of the rotary cams in the steam cylinder.
During a period of 43J minutes the average steam pressure
was 91.4 lbs., water pressure at the engine 136.6 lbs., and
the discharge 590 gallons per minute. With the same con-
ditions of hose and nozzles the steam pressure was from 35
to 40 lbs. more than could be obtained at the previous trial.
Tested October 3J, 1893.
This engine was a duplicate of Engine No. 23. For 4
minutes 40 seconds two 500-foot lines of 2^-inch hose with
l-|-inch nozzles were used. The average steam pressure be-
ing 88.4 lbs., water pressure at engine 139.69 lbs., and at
the nozzles 60 lbs., discharging 582 gallons per minute. A
1^-inch nozzle was then substituted on one line and for 21
minutes, with the average steam pressure at 79.7 lbs., the
water pressure at the engine was 141.1 lbs. and the dis-
charge 612 gallons per minute.
With 500-foot lines of hose and two 1^-inch nozzles an
average steam pressure of 70.7 lbs. was kept up for 41^
minutes, divine- a water pressure of 127.6 lbs. at the engine
and 42.5 lbs, at the nozzles, with a discharge of 611 gallons
7 O O
per minute. At 2.27-30 P.M. a coupling on the pump re-
lief pipe broke and the test vvas interrupted for 17^ minutes
while temporary repairs were being made. A run of 17
minutes 20 seconds was then made with hose and nozzles the
same as before the accident, the average steam pressure being
78.9 lbs., water pressure at the engine 120.2 lbs., at the
nozzles 40.2 lbs., with a discharge of 594 gallons per minute.
Three-inch hose was then substituted for 2|-inch on one line
80 City Document No. 12.
and for 19^ minutes the average steam pressure was 82. G
lbs., the water pressure at the engine 124.5 lbs. Although
the nozzles were of the same size the gauge upon one showed
a pressure 14.5 lbs. larger than the other and a discharge of
14 per cent, greater in favor of the 3-inch hose.
At 3.27-30 P.M. the engine suddenly stopped while run-
ning at the rate of about 800 revolutions per minute, and
on examination two of the teeth of the rotary steam-cam were
found to be broken in a similar manner to those of Engine
No. 23.
Test of the Water-Tower.
A test of the Hale Water-Tower was made on November
17, water being supplied to the tower by Engines 15, 43,
and Relief D.
Water pressures were taken at the steamers, at piezom-
eters attached to the hose connections on the tower, at a
gauge connected with the supply-pipe at the base of the
tower and at the nozzle.
[n order to make the nozzle gauge accessible for taking
the pressures, the tower was not raised, and in actual service
the pressures at the base of the tower and at the steamers
would be about 25 lbs. more than the figures given in the
tables in order to obtain the same effective pressures at the
nozzle.
The trial developed the fact that there was a great loss of
pressure due to the friction through the 3|-inch hose between
the base of the tower and the nozzle. With a 2-inch nozzle
discharging 1,000 gallons per minute with a pressure of 57
lbs. at the nozzle a pressure of 107 lbs. was required at the
base of the tower, and in some instances there was a friction
loss of 80 lbs. between the base of the tower and the nozzle.
Under these conditions an excessive pressure was required
at the engines to give effective pressures at the tower
nozzle.
If we assume two engines each connected to the tower by
two 300-foot lines of 2i-inch hose, a water pressure of 100
lbs. at the engines would give a pressure of but 30 lbs. on the
2-inch nozzle with the tower raised, and a discharge of 725
gallons per minute.
With a l|-inch nozzle the pressure would be about 40 lbs.,
with a discharge of 625 gallons per minute.
An experiment was made to show the effect of connecting
one line from a steamer to the tower with a second line
supplying a ll-inch nozzle. The small differences between
the pressures at the steamer and the piezometer connections
Fire Department. 81
at the tower show that the greater part of the amount
pumped by the steamer was discharged from the 1^-inch
nozzle.
Changes are now being made in the tower to increase its
efficiency, and it is proposed to make a second test alter the
improvements have been made.
The accompanying table gives the details of the test made
on November 17.
Capacity of Hydrants.
During all the tests, except when drafting, the engines
were attached to a Post hydrant which was located at the
end of an 8-inch pipe, 240 feet long, connected with a 12-inch
main in Albany street.
The hydrant, as before described, had an inside diameter
of 6§ inches, a 6-inch rubber valve, and three outlets for
hose connections, each controlled by an independent valve.
Two of these outlets were 4| inches, the other 2\- inches in
diameter.
Pressures were taken on the 8-inch pipe at the base of the
hydrant and on a piezometer attached to the steamer suction,
in order to determine the loss of pressure in passing through
the hydrant.
These experiments show that the friction loss in the hy-
drant was 4 lbs. for a discharge of 500 gallons per minute
and 16 lbs. for a discharge of 1,000 gallons, also that a large
proportion of the total loss is in the outlet valve.
During the trial of the water-tower, all three of the en-
gines used were for a portion of the time connected with this
Post hydrant, and the lowest pressure taken at the piezometer
coupling was 20 lbs., showing that hydrants of this pattern
will furnish an ample supply for three steamers. Owing to
the lateness of the season, the experiments on the capacity
of hydrants were not completed and no tests were made of
the friction loss in the 2^-inch reducers which are used on
the engine suctions.
Friction in Hose.
The experiments were not conducted with special reference
to obtaining information on this point, but in general they
confirm the more careful experiments made by Mr. John R.
Freeman and reported in a paper presented by him to the
American Society of Civil Engineers.
Experiments were, however, made to show the comparative
value of 2^-inch and 3-inch hose and the effect of using 21-
inch couplings on the 3-inch hose.

In the first three experiments given in the above table, two
lines of hose each 500 feet in length were attached to a
steamer, and nozzles of the same diameter attached to each
line.
With the same pressure at the steamer, the pressures at
the nozzles on the 3-inch lines of hose were from 12 to 15
lbs. greater than on the 2|~inch lines. In the fourth and
fifth experiments, l-|-inch nozzles were used on the 3-inch
hose and 11-inch nozzles on the 21-inch. It will be noticed
that the effective pressure at the 11-inch nozzle on the 3-inch
hose was as large as at the 1^-inch nozzle on the 21-inch hose,
while the discharge from the nozzles on the 3- inch hose was
between 20 and 25 per cent. more.
A comparison of experiments 6 and 8 shows the effect
of using 2l-inch couplings on 3-inch hose, and it will be
noticed that with the same pressure at the engine, the nozzle
pressure is about 5 lbs. less when using the 2^-inch coup-
lings, or for a 500-foot line of hose about \ lb. loss at each
2l-inch coupling when discharging 475 gallons per minute.
The loss of pressure per 100 feet in the different sizes of
hose is approximately as follows :

The advantage of using 3-inch hose is illustrated by the
following example : with a steamer using a line of hose 600
feet in length, with a 1^-inch smooth nozzle discharging
300 gallons per minute, a quantity none too large for the
needs of the present fire-service, a water pressure of 150 lbs.
at the steamer would be required if 2J-inch hose were used,
while with 3-inch hose the same results would be attained
with a pressure of 105 lbs. at the steamer.
The advantage of the use of 2^-inch couplings would be
that no time would be lost in attaching reducing couplings
or in finding hose of the needed size, while the loss of pres-
sure due to the 2^-inch couplings would be insignificant in
ordinary use.
Without doubt the 3-inch hose is not so easily handled on
ladders or in buildings, but great benefit could be derived
by using from 300 to 500 feet of 3-inch hose from the
steamer, with one or two lengths of 2^-inch hose attached
for the hoseman's use.
General Results and Conclusions.
The following tables, condensed from the tables giving
the details of the tests, show, in a convenient form, the
results obtainable from the different steamers tested.
Table No. 2 gives the length of the trials, average steam
and water pressure at the engine, the quantities pumped,
coal used, water evaporated, etc.
Table No. 3 gives the results obtained by each engine
under different conditions of steam pressure, length of hose,
diameter of nozzles, etc., with the time during which the
engine was operated under those conditions.
It will be seen from an inspection of column 9 of Table
No. 2 and column 4 of Table No. 3, that engines Nos. 36, D,
21, 43, and 15 equalled or exceeded their calculated capac-
ity at 300 revolutions per minute for runs of from 35 to 89
minutes, and that the average amount pumped per minute
by Engines 21, 36, and 43, for the whole time while the
pumps were working, was in excess of their calculated
capacity.
The tests also show that the smallest-size engines in use
in the department are capable of delivering through 500-
foot lines of hose two good fire streams, and that the large-
size Clapp & Jones engines will deliver from 900 to 975
gallons per minute, equal to three good 1^-inch streams.
It must be remembered that in all cases the engines
tested drew their water-supply from a hydrant under a
pressure of from 30 to 40 lbs., and that the steamers of the
84 Citt Document No. 12.
same class would not be able to deliver as powerful streams
if obliged to draft their supply.
This statement is verified by the results of tests of En-
gines 36 and 43.
I wish to call your attention to the desirability of using
two lines of hose with Siamese connections in cases where
the steamers are so located that lines more than 500 feet in
length are required to reach a fire, or where very powerful
streams are needed.
Take the case of Engines 36 or 21, the smallest size in
use by the department, with a single line of 2|-inch hose
800 feet long, a water pressure of 150 lbs. at the engine
would give, with a ll-inch nozzle, a pressure of but 30 lbs.
at the nozzle, while the same engine pressure, using two
lines of the same length siamesed into a 50-foot line with a
lf-inch nozzle, a nozzle pressure of 55 lbs. would be ob-
tained. In the first case, the discharge would be about 250
o-allons per minute, and the stream would not be effective
above the third story, while in the latter case a stream dis-
charging 425 gallons per minute would be available 80 feet
above the ground.
The results given in regard to the coal burned and water
evaporated by the boilers confirms what was noticed during
the trials, viz., that steam was more easily made and main-
tained by the Clapp & Jones boilers than by those of the
Amoskeag engines.
The evaporation per pound of coal from and at 212 degrees
varied from 2.26 lbs. in the case of Engine No. 36 to 5.87
lbs. for Engine No. 43.
The slip, or loss through the valves and pistons of the
pumps, varied from 3 to 8 per cent, of the calculated dis-
placement of the pump plungers.
Engines Nos. 36 and 43 showed a loss of about 5 per cent,
when taking their supply from the hydrant, and 8 per cent,
when drafting.
The question is sometimes raised as to whether the supply
of water at the hydrants is sufficient for the supply of the
steamers.
It seems to me that the engineers would have more posi-
tive information on this point, if a combined pressure and
vacuum gauge were attached to the suction chamber of all
engines. This plan has been adopted in Detroit with good
results.
The statements, which have been made on a previous
page, in regard to the advantages of using 3-inch hose, are
applicable in the consideration of the desirability of placing
3 or 4 inch iron stand-pipes on the outside of all high build-
ings for the use of the Fire Department.
Fire Department. 85
A considerable number of these pipes have been placed
upon buildings by property owners, but they are not under
the control of the Fire Department, are sometimes not
furnished with proper hose connections, often are not put
up in connection with fire-escapes, and are not as efficient
an aid to the department as they should be.
These stand-pipes should be erected under the supervision,
and be placed under the inspection and control, of the Fire
Department.
The appended tables give full details of the experiments,
and, as much care was taken to avoid errors in the obser-
vations, it is thought that they will have much value for the
purpose of comparison with future records of a similar
character.
I desire to extend my thanks to the members of the Fire
Department, who have given me many valuable suggestions
and great assistance during the progress of the trials.
Yours respectfully,
William Jackson,
City Engineer.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES.
To the Board of Fire Commissioners :
Gentlemen : I have the honor to present to you my
annual report for the year ending January 31, 1894. In
addition to the work done by this bureau, I have endeavored
to obtain for your information an accurate statement from
the various companies of this city, as to the extent of their
service, and I am pleased to say that with the exception of
the Steam and Power Company, all have kindly complied with
my request. I desire to again call your attention to the laws
governing this department. While it obliges me to examine
all wiring for light and power service, and report defects to
interested parties, it does not provide for their enforcement.
In view of this fact I would suggest that your Board take
such action as may be necessary to enable this bureau to
more fully carry out the requirements for which it was
created. We have received during the year 2,276 notices of
installations, which probably is not more than one-half of
the amount of work done during that time. As I. cannot
compel any one to notify us of their intentions, I would
recommend that such action be taken as will oblige an in-
spection and a certificate of approval issued before current
is allowed to be used or enter buildings. During the year
thirty-six fires have been reported at this office as having
been caused by electricity. An immediate examination
has been made in each case, and no doubt exists that
twenty-three of these reports are correct. Twelve of these
places had been examined previous to the fires being
reported, and defects noted in eight of them, and the
proper parties informed of the same.
Isolated plants have undergone some changes, but most of
them still remain in an unsatisfactory condition.
As I have previously reported, overhead wires are run in
a very careless manner, and consequently must be a great
hindrance to the Fire Department, in many places crossing
buildings less than two feet from the roof: and there should
be definite regulations controlling this class of work, and a
penalty attached for non-compliance to proper rules and reg-
ulations.
As a rule new wiring is being done in a satisfactory manner,
but the old work is found to be in a very poor condition. This
class of work should receive more attention than I am able
Fire DeparTxMent. 273
to give it with the present force of examiners, their time being
fully occupied in looking after new installations. In view of
the above fact,. I would recommend that your honorable
Board consider the advisability of increasing the number of
examiners.

The Edison Electric Illuminating Company had installed,
January 1, 86,631 incandescent lamps, 710 arc lamps, and
1,251 motors, with a total horse-power of 3,999. They have
47 miles of underground conductors. During the past year
their overhead system has been entirely removed and
replaced with underground.
The Brookline Gas Light Company have overhead wires,
all on poles, 52 miles, but none underground. They have in
use 2,663 incandescent lamps and 126 arc lamps.
The Church Green Light and Power Company are fur-
nishing current for 2,200 incandescent lamps and 21 electric
motors.

The Boston Electric Light Company are operating five
stations in this city, the total horse-power capacity of which
is 6,000, with room for extension, as may be needed. They
have about 625 miles of overhead wires for arc, incandes-
cent, and power currents. They are engaged at the present
274 City Document No. 12.
time in laying about 3^ miles of underground wire conduits
for the high tension arc current. They have a capacity for
4,000 l(f ampere, 45 volt, 2,000 C. P. lamps, of which the
city is using about 1,350. They are furnishing some 25,000
16 C. P. alternating incandescent lamps partly to the city and
partly to commercial customers, and furnish about 1,000
electrical horse-power to various customers, about 800 of
which is from the 500-volt current, the balance from the al-
ternating current.
The Charlestown Gas and Electric Light Company are
running one 65-light, one 50-light, nine 30-light dynamos,
and one 650-li°;ht alternating dynamo, with about 60 miles
of overhead wire.
They furnish the city with 140 arc lights, and 113 com-
mercial arc lights and 435 incandescent lights.
West End Street Railway Company have in Boston
75.2 miles of trolley, 105.3 of feeders, and 46.7 overhead
returns ; in Charlestown, 5.1 miles of trolley, 11.5 of feeders,

miles of trolley, 11.7 of feeders, and 3.5 of overhead returns.
The Central Power Station capacity in amperes 18,500 —
12,400 horse-power. Allston Power Station capacity in
amperes 1,800 — 1,200 horse-power. Charlestown is fed in
pait from the Cambridge station, which will rate 3,750
electrical horse-power. These are conservative figures and
are frequently worked over on station loads.
The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, the
total length of conduit is 24.46 miles; the total length of
duct, 201.35 miles; number of manholes, 508.
The underground cables of this company vary from 20 to
200 wires, and the total length of cables is 73.58 miles,
while the number of miles of wire underground is 8,361.1.
Western Union Telegraph Company have overhead about
119 miles of wire, and underground about 700 miles, and
estimate that 90% of the wires connecting the depots is
underground.
Mutual District Messenger Company have about 240
miles of wire on house-tops, but none underground. They
have 4,100 call-box connections, and private connections
with banks, hotels, City Hall, and State House.
Postal Telegraph Company have 244 miles of overhead
wire, and about 40 miles in aerial cables, and are preparing at
the present time to petition for the right to put 90% of their
wires underground.
Boston District Messenger Company have some 150 miles
of overhead wire, and 2,500 call-boxes in this city.
Boston Electric Protective Association have about 15
Fire Department. 275
miles of wire overhead, and enter something over a hundred
buildings.
Holmes Protective Company have no wires underground,
but are operating about 70 miles of open wire and 35 miles
in cables, and enter about 150 buildings.
Boston Auxiliary Fire-Alarm Company have their system
installed in 137 buildings in this city and connected with
124 special boxes; 14 of this number of fire-alarm boxes are
connected with the central office by two special circuits of
about eight miles of overhead wire.
Automatic Fire-Alarm and Extinguisher Company have
about 53 miles of overhead wire connecting their office with
232 buildings and 18 engine-houses. One hundred and
fifteen fires have been reported by their system, and 49 of
them extinguished without the sounding of the city alarm.
United States Electric Fire-Signal Company are operat-
ing about 15 miles of overhead wire, connecting 70 buildings,
9 engine-houses, and 57,884 thermostats with their central
station.
The above figures are taken from statements submitted
this bureau by the several companies at my request.
Fire-Alarm Branch.
New construction in this branch during the past year has
been chiefly confined to Dorchester, all the circuits having
been rebuilt and two new box circuits and one telephone
circuit added to the service, for the purpose of providing
greater protection to the district by placing a less number of
boxes in each circuit, and altering their connection in accord-
ance with the custom hitherto followed in the construction
of all new work in recent years.
The reconstruction of circuits 9, 10, 24, and 38 has been
done with new wire throughout, including all loops and
drops, and the covered pipe wires used in making connec-
tions with the boxes.
The new box circuits are numbered 30 and 31. The tele-
phone circuit has been run to the house of Engine Company
No. 19, and is so constructed as to admit of a multiple connec-
tion of the instruments which are at present placed in series.
Telephone circuits 5, 6, and 24, running respectively to
South Boston, Roxbury, and the South End, and 27, connect-
ing with houses of the Inspector and Deputy Inspector of
Wires and chief of the department, have been changed from
series to multiple connection, as experience has demonstrated
that the efficiency of the service is greatly increased thereby,
the interference caused by induction in the lines being
almost entirely eliminated.
276 City Document No. 12.
Telephone circuits 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, and 25 have
also been reconstructed and made metallic, and are ready to
be connected in multiple as soon as the work can be taken
up.
Twenty-one high-resistance generators (one thousand
ohms) have thus far been used in the multiple connections.
A new telephone has been placed in the house of Commis-
sioner Murphy and connected with No. 11 circuit.
Circuits 4, 14, 20, 21, 22, 39, and 41 have been recon-
structed from City Hall to Peinberton square.
The wires running along the line of Fourth street, from
Dorchester to I street, comprising a part of circuits 1,11,
and 42, and telephone circuits 5,9, and 14, have been renewed
and transferred from roof structures to new poles.
Circuits 1, 11, and 42 have also been rebuilt from the
corner of Dorchester avenue and Sixth street, to a point at
the corner of Eighth and Mercer streets. Circuits 3 and 25
have been extended from Dover to Northampton street on
account of rebuilding of Dover-street bridge, and the sub-
marine cable and old wires have been removed from the
bridge for the same cause.
Circuits 1, 11, and 42 have been removed from roof
fixtures and transferred to a line of poles along Eighth street,
from H to L street, new wire being substituted for the old.
New wires have been run on Bunker Hill street, between
Lexington and Quincy streets, and connected into circuits
12, 16, 39, and telephone circuit 1. Special circuits have
been run from houses of Engines 7 and 15, connecting with
call bells at Federal-st. bridge, for the purpose of facilitat-
ing their passage over the draw when responding to alarms.
The box gong service has been extended to the house of
Ladder No. 16, and new mechanical spring-gongs have been
substituted for the direct-acting apparatus in the Dorchester
houses connected with No. 38 circuit.
A cable containing thirty conductors has been run from
the basement of City Hall to the head-room in the dome,
connecting with the underground cable and circuits 7, 8, 9,
10, 13, 19, 23, 24, 30, 31, 38, and 44, and telephone cir-
cuits 6 and 19 are now working through the same from head-
quarters to Waltham street. A conduit containing four
ducts for underground service has been constructed from
Harrison avenue through Bristol street to the new head-
quarters building, with two manholes for running the cables
when desired.
The underground service in the above-named circuits has
been successfully carried on during the past year, and ar-
rangements are being made for considerable extension in this
Fmu Department. 277
direction in the coming season. Box 54 has been placed on
an ornamental street lamp-post on Oxford, near Beach street,
and connected into the underground cable at that point.
Work is now in progress for establishing several more posts
with signal-boxes attached along this line, and it is expected
that they will be in service at an early day.
It is intended to further increase the efficiency of the ser-
vice by making use of telephones in addition to the boxes
connected with the underground wires. This will be accom-
plished by placing the telephones in the lower part of the
outside shells and operating them by an independent wire,
which will form a circuit entirely distinct from those of the
fire alarm, notwithstanding that it will run through the same
conduit with them.
The boxes throughout the city have been repainted.
One hundred and one new poles have been set, one hun-
dred and twenty-five old ones painted, and sixty taken down,
during the year.
Eleven hundred and ninety-five cross-arms and two hun-
dred and fifty extensions have been placed on poles belong-
ing to this branch and those of other companies doing
business in the cit3r.
Forty old structures have been removed from buildings,
and twenty-five new ones constructed at such points as were
necessary to complete the new construction and repair work
herein referred to.
Seven new boxes have been added to the service by this
branch, and three have been put in by the Auxiliary Com-
pany since my last report.
A nineteen-conductor aerial cable was run from City Hull
to Horticultural Hall to connect the circuits destroyed by the
Tremont Temple fire. Twenty-five hundred feet of ten-
conductor cable have been used in short lengths in various
places, chiefly for connecting apparatus in the department
houses.
A submarine cable with seven conductors has been laid
across the draw at Federal-st. bridge.
One hundred and thirty miles of galvanized, nineteen
miles of covered iron, and fifty -five hundred feet of Clark wire
have been used during the year.
A two-horse team has been added to the construction
division and located in Charlestown, stalls for the accommo-
dation of the same having been constructed in the house of
Hose Company No. 3.
A storeroom and workshop has been established at 256
Hover street, and the work of the branch has been greatly
facilitated thereby. Much work has been done here on
stormy days, and the shop has been thoroughly equipped
278 City Document No. 12.
with many appliances necessary for the comfort and conven-
ience of the employees.
The dynamo service referred to as an experiment in my
previous report has continued in successful operation dur-
ing the year, and has now thoroughly demonstrated that its
use throughout the entire system at the new headquarters
wTill he of the greatest benefit to the service. I have
recently put in two additional motor-dynamos, connecting
the two new Dorchester circuits, 30 and 31, with one of them,
and making use of the other for supplying current for oper-
ating the group of box-gong circuits. The full capacity of
these three dynamos is in excess of the requirements of all
the circuits now in service, as far as current is concerned ;
but 1 do not consider it advisable to go much further in this
direction until facilities have been provided for obtaining
power to run them from additional sources, and the transfer
of circuits from one dynamo to another when desired. The
matter is now under consideration, and it is intended that the
new headquarters will be fully equipped with all the neces-
sary appliances to accomplish this purpose.
A new combination four-dial transmitter has been put in
service at the central office for operating the box-gong cir-
cuits.
It is of the most elaborate design and beautiful finish, and
is capable of giving four successive combinations of four
numbers each when desired. In appearance and operation
it is unsurpassed by any apparatus of its kind in the country.
A set of apparatus, consisting of receiving relays, auto-
matic repeater, testing appliances etc., has been placed in
the house of Engine Company No. 9, in East Boston, and is
now ready to be connected for service. This is intended to
serve as an isolated fire-alarm plant to be operated independ-
ently for the protection of the district in the event of the
destruction of the lines of communication between it and the
central office.
The service has been unexceptionably free from damage
caused by storms during the past year, there being at no
time any considerable number of the circuits affected suffi-
ciently to interfere with their successful operation.
This result may be attributed not only to the fact that
severe storms have been less prevalent in this vicinity than
in some previous years, but to the improved methods em-
ployed, and thorough manner of doing the work in the con-
struction and maintenance of the system;

night and day, by the operators. Each set of operators have
assigned to them certain hours of duty, during which time
they are responsible for the correct working of the apparatus
in giving alarms, and all testing of the circuits and other de-
tails pertaining to the service. No operator is permitted to
sleep during his watch, unless expressly relieved by some
one else, and by consent of the Inspector.
Each operator is accountable to the Inspector for any
mistakes that may occur at the office during his hours of
duty.
An accurate account is kept of the time of giving each
alarm, and of the station from which it originates, and all
other necessary information.
