OF THE

CITY OF CHARLESTOWN.
In Board of Mayor and Aldermen, March 12, 1860.
Accepted, and Ordered, That twenty five hundred copies of
the same be printed for distribution, and sent down for con-
currence.
CHARLES POOLE, City Clerk.
In Common Council, March 19, 1860. Accepted in con-
currence. Order amended by striking out the words, "twen-
ty-five hundred copies of," and adding alter the word
"printed," — "with the Treasurer's Annual Report of Re-
ceipts and Expenditures," — and concurred.
G. y. HALL, Clerk.
In Board of Mayor and Aldermen, March 20, 1860.
Voted, To recede from former action, and concur in the
amendment.
CHARLES POOLE, City Clerk.
CITY OF CHARLESTOWN.
February 29, I860.
To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen and Common
Council :
Gentlemen : —
In compliance with. Section 4tli of the Ordinance regulat-
ing the Fire Department, passed Dec. 27, 1859, I herewith pre-
sent to your Honorable Board, a list of the officers and members
attached to the same, and the condition of the apparatus under
their charge ; the number of fires the past year, together with
the amount of loss, and insurance on the same ; also, the number
of reservoirs, wells, hydrants, and other resources from which
water can be obtained in cape of fire ; and the expenses of the
year ending this date.
The several Engines, Ladder and Hose Carriages belonging to
the Department, are in good working order, with the exception of
Engine No. 1, that being in need of extensive repairs. The com-
panies are full, and the members are prompt when their services
are called for.
There has been purchased for the Department the past year,
two thousand and fifty feet of Leading Hose, one thousand of
which is of leather, and the balance is the patent cotton hose,
made by Boyd & Sons, Boston. The Board are of the opinion
that it is preferable to leather. It costs less, its strength is
greater ; it requires no oil, and consequently is easier to handle.

ENGINEER S REPORT.
The only question seems to be in regard to its durability ; a
question we think time will decide favorably.
Our Department, although not a large one, will compare favor-
ably with those of the surrounding cities and towns. We do not
therefore recommend that it be increased by the addition of any
more engines ; but we urgently recommend that the facilities for
obtaining water should be increased. There have been repeated
instances where three engines have been required to do the work
that one could do, were water nearer.
In closing, I should be doing injustice to the members of the
Department, without saying that they have on all occasions been
courteous to their officers, and energetic in the performance of all
their duties as firemen. No class of men are called upon to
make so great a sacrifice for the safety of the community in
which they live. The City Government has done much for their
comfort and convenience in years past, and more remains to be
done in order to keep up a sufficient interest in this important
branch of our government.
Respectfully submitted,
E. A. COSTIGAN, Chief Engineer.
