INTEODUCTION.
The City has annually since 1821 issued a volume
containing, until 1829, a register of the City Council
and a list of the officers. In 1829 the City Charter, in
1830 the Acts relating to Boston and the ordinances,
and in 1832 an index, were added. The volume for
1822 contains fifteen pages, and for 1840 eighty-five
pages, and three pages of index. The volumes up to
and including 1840 bear the title of The Rules and Orders
of the Common Council and since that year the title
of The Municipal Register. The Municipal Regis-
ter for 1841 contains the Rules and Orders of the Com-
mon Council, joint rules, ordinances of the City, statutes
of the Commonwealth relating to the City, a list of the
public schools, the City Government of 1841, the com-
mittees and departments (consisting at that time of
the treasury, law, police, health, public land and build-
ings, lamps and bridges, fire, and public charitable
institutions), and a list of the ward officers; from 1842
to 1864 it also contains a list of the members of pre-
ceding City Governments, a necrological record of those
members, the latest ordinances and the special statutes
relating to the City; in 1851 a list of the annual orators
was added, and in 1853 a map of the City and the Rules
of the Board of Aldermen were inserted; in 1876 sta-
tistics of registration and voting were included, and,
since 1879, in tabulated form; in 1883 portraits of the
Mayor and presiding officers of the two branches of
the City Council were included, and in 1888 a list of
the members of the past City Governments of Roxbury
and Charlestown was added and continued to 1890.
From 1889 to 1896, inclusive. The Municipal Register
contained a compilation of the Charter and Acts sub-
sequently passed, in the place of which an index of the
same appeared in 1897. The Amended Charter of 1909
was added in 1910, while the alphabetical list of Alder-
men and Councilmen since 1822 was dropped.
By the direction of the Committee on Rules The
Municipal Register of 1913 has been compiled by the
Statistics Department. Text and tables have been
revised, and various new tables, with additional text,
have been incorporated.

ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF BOSTON.
The Royal Patent incorporating the Governor and
Company of Massachusetts Bay in New England passed
the seals March * 4, 1628-29. At a General Court, or
Meeting of the Company, on August *29 of that year it
was voted ''that the Government and patent should be
settled in New England." To that end Governor Win-
throp led the Puritan Exodus in 1630. Soon after his
arrival at Salem on June * 12, 1630, he proceeded with a
large following to Charlestown, where a plantation had
been established the summer before. The Assistants
held three Courts at Charlestown in the interval, August
*23 to September *28, inclusive. At their meeting
on September *7, they ''ordered that Trimountaine
shalbe called Boston; Mattapan, Dorchester; and the
towne upon Charles River, Waterton." Thus Shawmut
of the Indians was named Boston, probably out of grati-
tude to the Merchants of Boston in Lincolnshire, who
had subscribed generously to the stock of the Company.
In the course of the summer. Governor Winthrop
with the patent chose Boston as his abiding place.
The first "Court" held in Boston was a "General Court"
on October *19, "for establishing of the government."
On October *3, 1632, Boston was formally declared
to be "the fittest place for publique meetings of any
place in the Bay."
Boston was the first town in Massachusetts to become
a city. It was incorporated February 23, 1822, by
St. 1821, c. 110, adopted March 4, 1822. This act was
revised by St. 1854, c. 448, commonly called the City
Charter, adopted November 13, 1854.
The neck of land called Boston, still called Boston
Proper, contained perhaps 700 acres of land, judging
from the 783 acres shown by the official survey of 1794.
In the interval 1630-37, Boston acquired jurisdiction
over most of the territory now included in Chelsea,
Winthrop, Revere, East Boston, Brookline, Quincy,
Braintree, Randolph and Holbrook, besides certain
islands in the harbor. From 1637 till May 13, 1640,
* Old Style.
ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF BOSTON. 7
when ''Mount Woollaston" was set off as Braintree,
Boston exercised jurisdiction over a territory of at least
40,000 acres. Within its present limits there are 30,295
acres, including flats and water.
Since 1640, grants of land have been made to Boston
by the General Court as follows: (1) October *16, 1660,
1,000 acres ''for the use of "a free schoole, layd out in
the wildernesse or North of the Merimake River" (in
Haverhill), m 1664. (2) June *27, 1735, in abatement
of Province Tax, three townships, each six miles square,
or 69,120 acres in all. These townships later became
the Towns of Charlemont, Colrain, and Pittsfield.
Boston sold its interest in them June *30, 1737, for
£3,660. (3) June 26, 1794, a township of land in
Maine (23,040 acres) "to build a public hospital." This
tract was sold by the City April 6, 1833, for $4,200.
Muddy River was set off as the Town of Brookline
on November *13, 1705, and Rumney Marsh was set
off as the Town of Chelsea January *8, 1739.
The principal annexations of territory included within
the present limits of the City of Boston have been made
as follows:
(1) Noddle's Island, by order of Court of Assistants, March
*9, 1636-37. (2) South Boston set off from Dorchester March
6, 1804, by St. 1803, c. 111. (3) Washington Village set off
from Dorchester May 21, 1855, by St. 1855, c. 468. (4) Rox-
bury January 6, 1868, by St. 1867, c. 359, accepted September
9, 1867. Roxbury received its name by order of the Court of
Assistants October *8; 1630. It was incorporated a City March
12, 1846, by St. 1846, c. 95, accepted March 25, 1846. (5) Dor-
chester January 3, 1870, by St. 1869, c. 349, accepted June 22,
1869. It received its name September *7, 1630, by order of
the Court of Assistants. (6) Brighton January 5, 1874, by St.
1873, c. 303, accepted October 7, 1873. Set off from Cambridge
as the Town of Brighton February 24, 1807, by St. 1806, c. 65.
(7) Charlestown January 5, 1874, by St. 1873, c. 286, accepted
October 7, 1873. Settled July *4, 1629. It was incorporated
a City February 22, 1847, by St. 1847, c. 29, accepted March
10, 1847. (8) West Roxbury January 5, 1874, by St. 1873, c.
314, accepted October 7, 1873. It was set off from Roxbury
and incorporated a Town May 24, 1851, by St. 1851, c. 250.
(9) Hyde Park January 1, 1912, by St. 1911, c. 469, and 583,
accepted November 7, 1911. Incorporated a Town April 22,
1868.

MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
THE CITY SEAL
As it appeared prior to 1827.
The City Seal was adopted by ''An Ordinance to
Establish the City Seal," passed January 2, 1823, which
provides ''That the design hereto annexed, as sketched
by John R. Penniman, giving a view of the City, be the
device of the City Seal; that the motto be as follows,
to wit: 'Sicut patribus sit Deus nobis'; and that the
inscription be as follows: — -'Bostonia condita, A.D.
1630. Civitatis regimine donata, A.D. 1822.'" The
motto is taken from 1 Kings, viii., 57.
The seal as it then appeared is shown above.
The seal as it was afterwards changed, and has ever
since continued to be used, first appeared on page 221
of the volume of laws and ordinances, commonly known
as the "First Revision," published in 1827, and is con-
tinued as the City Seal at the present time by Revised
Ordinances of 1898, Chapter 1, Section 5, which provides
that "The seal of the City shall be circular in form;
shall bear a view of the City; the motto 'Sicut Patri-
bus Sit Deus Nobis,' and the inscription, 'Bostonia
Condita, A.D. 1630. Civitatis Regimine Donata,
A.D. 1822/ as herewith set forth."
The seal as changed in 1827, and as it has ever since
appeared, is shown opposite the title page..

AMENDED CITY CHARTER OF 1909.
The Mayor and City Council.
Section 1. The terms of office of the mayor and the members of both
branches of the present city council of the city of Boston and of the
street commissioner whose term would expire on the first Monday of
January, nineteen hundred and ten, are hereby extended to ten o'clock
A.M. on the first Monday of February, nineteen hundred and ten, and
at that time the said city council and both branches thereof and the
positions of city messenger, clerk of the common council, clerk of com-
mittees, assistant clerk of committees, and their subordinates shall be
abolished. The officials whose terms of office are hereby extended shall,
for the extended term, receive a compensation equal to one-twelfth of the
annual salaries now paid to them respectively. The mayor and city
council elected in accordance with the provisions of this act, and their
successors, shall thereafter have all the powers and privileges conferred,
and be subject to all the duties and obligations imposed by law upon
the city council or the board of aldermen, acting as such or as county
commissioners or in any capacity, except as herein otherwise provided.
Wherever in this act the phrase "mayor and city council" appears, it
shall be understood as meaning the mayor and city council acting on and
after the first Monday of February, nineteen hundred and ten, under the
provisions of this and the three following sections. The city council may,
subject to the approval of the mayor, from time to time establish such
oflBces, other than that of city clerk, as it may deem necessary for the
conduct of its affairs and at such salaries as it may determine, and abolish
such offices or alter such salaries; and without such approval may fill
the offices thus established and remove the incumbents at pleasure.
Sect. 2. The mayor from time to time may make to the city council
in the form of an ordinance or loan order filed with the city clerk such
recommendations other than for school purposes as he may deem to be for

The Trustees of the PubUc Library of the City of Boston, who are five
in number, are appointed by the Mayor, one each year, for a term of five
years. They were incorporated by an act of the General Court passed
April 4, 1878, and are authorized to receive and hold real and personal
estate which may be given, granted, bequeathed or devised to the said
corporation, to an amount not exceeding $1,000,000. The first Trustees
were appointed under an ordinance of October 14, 1852. The old Library
Building on Boylston street was opened to the public in September,
1858, and closed finally in January, 1895. The new Library Building ou
Copley square was first opened on March 11, 1895. The Library is

maintained by an annual appropriation voted out of the general funds
of the City by the City Council. About $27,440 of this appropriation
was used in 1912 for the purchase of books and periodicals. The Library
also holds trust funds aggregating $472,008, the interest of which is devoted
to the purchase of books.
The annual reports, the first of which appeared in 1852, have been
continued without interruption.
Of the Quarterly Bulletins begun in 1867, fourteen volumes have been
published. The series closed in 1896.
A Quarterly Bulletia of a new series is now issued, and a weekly list
of new books added to the Library. The Trustees have issued also general
and special catalogues of the Central Library, and of its branches and
special collections, as well as hand-books for readers, and other docu-
ments.
LIBRARY SYSTEM.
The Library system consists of the Central Library in Copley square;
thirteen branch libraries with independent collections of books; fifteen
reading-room stations (minor branches), all of which contain deposits of
books from the Central Library, reference books and periodicals. There
were, on February 1, 1913, in the Central Library, branch libraries and
reading-rooms, 568 employees, including 249 who are employed in the
evening and on Sunday, some of whom also work during the week; and
including also a certain number who only work a few hours or days in
each week.
Between the Central Library and these twenty-eight stations, by
library wagons, there is a daily exchange of books and cards, whereby
persons Uving in outljdng districts can draw books from the Central
Library without the necessity of coming in person.
The delivery or deposit of books is also undertaken in one hundred
and thirty-one pubhc and parochial schools, thirty-one institutions and
sixty-one fire company houses.
Cards allowing the use of two books without restriction as to class,
for two weeks, are issued to all residents of Boston with no further attend-
ant delay than is involved in identification. No guaranty is asked,
except in case of a sojourner. Such cards are also issued to non-resident
pupils attending Boston schools who fiurnish guaranties. For reading
and reference the Library is open to all without formaUty. Special cards
for more extended privileges are issued to clergymen oflSciating in the
City, and to teachers giving instruction in Boston institutions of learn-
ing; a special card is also issued in certain cases by the Trustees. On
February 1, 1913, there were 92,599 card-holders having the right to draw
books for home use. The total number of volumes was 1,049,011, and of
different newspapers and periodicals currently received at the Central
Library and branches about 2,152. Books issued in 1912, for home use
and for use through schools and institutions, numbered 1,744,878; of
reference use, on account of the freedom with which books may be
consulted, no adequate statistics are kept.

Since the City's park development began, in 1877, the total expenditure,
to the close of 1912, for parks, parkways and playgrounds (exclusive of
the annual maintenance appropriation), was $19,789,700, or $8,682,025
for the land and $11,107,675 for construction.
The Arnold Arboretum, containing originally 122.6 acres, belonging to
Harvard College, was taken with other lands, in 1881, for a public park,
and in 1895 another tract of about 68 acres on Peters' Hill, also belonging
to Harvard College, was taken, and the name Bussey Park was added to
the title. All the land in these tracts not required for driveways and walks.
Note. — In June, 1912, an appropriation of $20,000 was made for a monument to be
erected in honor of Wendell Phillips.
76 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
a quarry reservation and traffic road, was leased to Harvard College, to be
used only for the piu-poses of an arboretum under the trusts created by
the wills of Benjamin Bussey and James Arnold. The arboretum is open
to visitors daily from 7 A.M. until sunset.
The new Frankhn Park Zoological Garden on the northerly side of the
park is designed to occupy sixty to eighty acres when completed and to
cost $300,000 or more. In the summer of 1912, the group of bear dens, the
aquatic flying cage, etc., were finished and put on exhibition. The new
Marine Park Aquarium, costing approximately $125,000, was opened to
the pubhc on November 28, 1912. The entire outlay for both has been
appropriated from the George F. Parkman Fund income.
GEORGE F. PARKMAN FUND.
By the will of the late George F. Parkman, various real estate properties
worth between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 were left to the City, the income
therefrom to be expended for the maintenance and improvement of the
Common and such parks as were in existence January 12, 1887, and no
part of it to be used for the pm-chase of additional land for park purposes.
The bequest was accepted by the City Council, March 9, 1909, since which
date most of the realty has been sold and the proceeds invested in munic-
ipal and other bonds. On February 1, 1913, the piincipal of the fimd in
the custody of the City Treasurer amounted to $4,689,176.
Recreation Division.
, Deputy Commissioner. Salary, .
The Deputy Commissioner of the Recreation Division has supervision
of the sports on the public playgrounds and in the parks, also of the recrea-
tive activities which have hitherto been carried on by the Bath Depart-
ment and the Music Department. These two departments were established
by ordinance in 1898, and up to the present year each has been managed
by its Board of Trustees, appointed by the Mayor.
The first playground acquired by the City was the Charlestown Play-
ground, purchased in 1891. With that included, 49 playgrounds (38
separate and 11 located in parks), with a total area of 353.98 acres, have
been established, most of them equipped with first-class shelter and sanitary
bmldings containing lockers, also drinking fountains, shower baths, etc.
The total outlay for land and construction of the playgrounds (not includ-
ing those in parks) is approximately $2,370,000, and this amount will be
increased by about $350,000 as soon as the 1912 special appropriations
are all expended.

including the laying and relaying of pipes, the installation and testing of
meters and the placing of public drinking fountains, also the assessing of
water rates and issuing of the bills therefor. Assessments upon the estates
benefited by new sewers are not levied by the PubUc Works Department
but by the Board of Street Commissioners (see pp. 98, 99).
The total length of common and intercepting sewers in the City on
February 1, 1912, was 823 miles; of supply and distributing water mains
February 1, 1913, 828.57 miles; number of water meters then in use,
33,491, or 6,450 more than in 1912 at same date; number of public fire
hydrants, 8,612; number of public drinking fountains, 151, of which 77

The first water document published by the City of Boston appeared
in 1825. The public introduction of water from Lake Cochituate took
place on October 25, 1848. The history of the Boston Water Works up
to January 1, 1868, has been written by Nathaniel J. Bradlee; from 1868
to 1876, by Desmond FitzGerald; of the "Additional Supply from Sud-
bury River," by A. Fteley. In addition to the annual reports on the
Cochituate supply, from 1850, and of the Mystic supply, from 1866, there
are numerous special reports. By Chapter 449, Acts of 1895, the Boston
Water Board, the Water Income Department and the Water Registrar
were abolished and the Water Department created, a single commissioner
being entrusted with all the powers previously exercised by the Boston
Water Board and the Boston Water Registrar.
By Chapter 488, Acts of 1895, the State provided for a metropoUtan
water supply, Boston being included among the municipalities thus to be
suppUed. A State Commission, the Metropohtan Water Board, in accord-
ance with said act, took possession, in 1898, of all that part of the Boston
water system lying westward of Chestnut Hill Reservoir, also the pumping
station there, with adjacent lands. The sum paid to the City was
$12,531,000. Payments to the State by the City for its supply of water
have been regularly made since 1898. The total number of water rate
payers (i. e., to the City) on February 1, 1913, was 99,270 and the daily
average amount of water used in 1912 was 90,037,500 gallons, or 126
gallons per capita. This daily average is 4,466,000 gallons more than that
reported for 1911. The reservoirs, pumping stations, etc., belonging to
the Water Service are these, viz.:
East Boston Reservoir, Eagle Hill, East Boston; capacity, 5,600,000
gallons.
Fairmount Reservoir, Hyde Park; capacity, 1,500,000 gallons.
Fairmount Standpipe, Hyde Park; capacity, 500,000 gallons.
Fisher Hill Reservoir, Brookline; capacity, 15,400,000 gallons.
High Service Tank, Mt. Bellevue, West Roxbury; capacity, 122,000
gallons.
High Service Tank, Orient Heights; capacity, 122,000 gallons.
Pumping Stations: West Roxbury, corner Washington street and
Metropolitan avenue; Hyde Park, foot of Water street; and one located
on Paradise lane, Dedham.

The Parker Hill Reservoir has been transferred to the Park and Recrea-
tion Department, being no longer suitable for the use of the Water Service.
HIGH PRESSURE FIRE SERVICE.
By the provisions of Chapter 312, Acts of 1911, the Commissioner of
Public Works was authorized to install an efficient system of high pressure
fire service for the City, appropriations therefor, amounting to $1,000,000,
to be voted by the City Council in sums of not less than $150,000 each
year for six years. The supply of water for this purpose will be taken
from the Charles River Basin, and an underground pumping station is
soon to be constructed under Charles street, 750 feet north of Boylston
street.

WIRE DEPARTMENT. 101
The office of Commissioner of Wires was established in 1894, in accord-
ance with Chapter 454 of the Acts of that year.
The department has issued annual reports, beginning February 1, 1895.
Under the statute of 1894, it was made the duty of the Commissioner
of Wires to have all unexempted electric wires, cables and conductors
in the City north of Dover and Berkeley streets, and between the Charles
river, the Harbor and Fort Point channel placed underground, and to
remove all unexempted poles and structures in the streets within the said
district before January 1, 1900.
He was authorized to supervise and inspect both underground and
overhead wires, cables and conductors; to regulate the direction of such
wires, cables and conductors, and see that tliey were sufficiently insulated;
to secure the removal of dead or abandoned wires, and the protection
of all buildings by proper safety devices; to inspect all wires carrying
electric light, heating or power current within buildings, and to see that
all wires, posts, machinery and appliances are kept in good order and
condition.
Chapter 249 of the Acts of 1898 provides that in each of the years
1900-1909, inclusive, the Commissioner of Wires shall prescribe the limits
of a district within which, for not more than two miles of streets, avenues,
or highways, certain wires, cables and conductors shall be removed or
placed underground during the calendar year.
In accordance with Chapter 347 of the Acts of 1908, the Commissioner
is required in 1910, and in each year thereafter, to and including the
year 1919, to prescribe not more than two miles of streets, etc., within
which all wires, cables and conductors shall be put underground. Under
Section 2 of the same Act, the Commissioner is authorized to grant such
terminal pole locations as may be in his judgment necessary, and under
Section 3 he is authorized to make such rules and regulations relating
to the insulation of overhead and underground wires, cables and con-
ductors and appliances as may be reasonably necessary for the purposes
of safety.
The Commissioner is sole judge of what constitutes proper and safe
insulation of electric conductors and appliances within buildings, and
is authorized to make such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary
to secure safe insulation.
According to Chapter 339, Acts of 1908, any person, firm or corpora-
tion faihng to notify the Commissioner of the installing of wiring or appa-
ratus for electric light, heat or power purposes shall be subject to a fine
of not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars for each offence.
Section 1 of Chapter 347, Acts of 1908, was repealed in 1911, as pro-
vided by Chapter 364, and the Commissioner was therein required to
prescribe not more than three miles of streets in 1912 and each year there-
after to 1916, inclusive, within which all wires, cables and conductors shall
during the calendar year be removed (with the poles or other structures
supporting them) and placed underground. Certain wires of street rail-
ways, etc., are excepted.

The Licensing Board for the City of Boston was estabUshed by Chapter
291 of the Acts of 1906. It consists of three members, appointed by
the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council. The mem-
bers must be citizens of Boston who have resided in the City for at least
two years preceding the date of their appointment. The two principal
poHtical parties must be represented and the term of the members is
fixed at six years; after the first appointments, one member retiring every
two years. The Board was created to exercise all the powers and per-
form all the duties conferred or imposed upon the Board of Police of
the City of Boston by Sections 10 to 90 (both inclusive) of Chapter 100
of the Revised Laws and Amendments thereof, relative to intoxicating
liquors; and by Chapter 102 of the Revised Laws and Amendments
thereof, relative to innholders and common victuallers. Chapter 423, Acts
of 1909, relates to licensing the sale of ice cream, fruit, soda water and
confectionery on Sunday.

The Franklin Foundation is incorporated under Chapter 569 of the
Acts of 1908, and has sole charge of the Franklin Union, as well as the
management of the Franklin Fimd.
The Franklin Fund is the proceeds of a bequest of one thousand pounds
to "the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston in Massachusetts" made by
Benjamin Franklin, in a codicil to his will dated June 23, 1789. The
codicil provided that the fund "if accepted by the inhabitants of the
Town of Boston" be managed "under the direction of the Selectmen,
united with the Minister of the oldest Episcopahan, Congregational,
and Presbyterian Churches in that Town," who were to make loans on
certain conditions to "young married artificers under the age of twenty-
five years."
Dr. Franklin, who died April 17, 1790, calculated that, in one hundred
years, the thousand pounds would grow to £131,000, "of which," he
says, "I would have the managers then lay out at their discretion £100,000
in Public Works which may be judged of most general utiUty to the
Inhabitants. The remaining £31,000, I would have continued to be
let out on interest for another hundred years. At the end of this second
term, if no unfortunate accident has prevented the operation, the sum
will be £4,061,000, of which I leave £1,061,000 to the Town of Boston.
* The Managers serve without compensation.

and £3,000,000 to the disposition of the Government of the State, not
presuming to carry my views farther." The Town accepted the donation
at a Town Meeting held June 1, 1790.
A futile suit brought by the Franklin heirs in 1891 prevented the division
of the fund at the expiration of one hundred years; but on January 17,
1894, by direction of the three ministers and the Board of Aldermen
of the City, which board claimed to be the successors of the "Selectmen,"
$329,300.48 (if^ of the fund) was paid to the City Treasurer, for "the
purchase of land and the erection thereon of the Franklin Trades School
and for the equipment of the same." Owing to a series of complications
the money has remained in the custody of the Treasurer. Mayor Collins,
in 1902, caused a petition of the City to be filed in the Supreme Court,
praying for instructions as to the authority of the persons then acting as
Managers of the fund. The Court rendered an opinion November 25, 1903
(184 Mass. 373, page 43), to the effect that the three ministers were
Managers of the fund under Franklin's will, but that the Aldermen did
not succeed the "Selectmen" as Managers and had no powers with refer-
ence to it. The Court, under its general power to care for public charitable
funds, appointed, on March 16, 1904, the above Managers to take the
place of the "Selectmen," and provided in the decree of the Court that
the Mayor of Boston should be one, ex officio. On October 20, 1904, the
City Treasurer, ex officio, was appointed by the Board of Managers as
treasurer of the fund.
On December 2, 1905, the City Treasurer received from Mr. Andrew
Carnegie $408,396.48, said sum being the amount of the Frankhn Fund,
August, 1904, which Mr. Carnegie agreed to duplicate.
On January 31, 1906, the amount available for expenditure by the
Managers was $426,824.78. The Franklin Accumulating Fund, which will
become available in 1991, amounted, on January 31, 1913, to $217,511.
The Frankhn Trades School, or Franklin Union as it is now called,
occupies its own building at the corner of Appleton and Berkeley streets,
which was opened in September, 1908. It is maintained by the income
from the Franklin Union Trust Fund, the latter amounting to $478,648
on January 31, 1913. The building contains 24 classrooms and 6
draughting-rooms, where 1,500 to 1,600 students receive instruction, the
fees ranging from $4 to $15, according to length of course. There
is also a technical and scientific library, and a large hall with a seating
capacity of 1,000 for lectures, concerts, discussions and similar purposes.
The building with equipment cost about $400,000. The site was pur-
chased in 1906 for $100,000.

The Board of Police for the City of Boston was established by Chapter
323 of the Acts of 1885, and was composed of three citizens of Boston,
appointed for five years from the two principal political parties by the
Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council. The
Board assumed office on July 23, 1885. By Chapter 291 of the Acts of
1906, the department was placed in charge of a single head, to be known
as the Police Commissioner.
The powers of the Board of Police, except those relating to the grant-
ing of intelligence office, billiard and pool, skating rink, picnic grove,
bowling alley, common victualers' and liquor licenses, which were trans-
ferred to the newly created Jjicensing Board, devolve upon the Police
Commissioner. The present Police Commissioner assumed office June 4,
1906, for a term of five years and was reappointed in 1911 for another term.
The City is divided into eighteen Police Districts, in each of which is a
station-house, the headquarters of a captain and force of men. The
Commissioner appoints a Harbor Master and assistants from the police
force, and they receive pay in accordance with their rank in the
force. The police steamer "Guardian" and the steam launches "Ferret,"
"Watchman" and "Alert" are employed in this service.
By Chapter 279 of the Acts of 1903 the Board of Police were required
to ascertain each year, the name, age, occupation and residence on May 1
of every male person twenty years of age or over in the City of Boston
and also to make lists of the women voters.
By Chapter 291 of the Acts of 1906, the powers and duties of the Board
of Police relative to the listing and registration of voters were transferred
to a Listing Board, to be composed of the Police Commissioner and one
member of the Board of Election Commissioners to be annually appointed
by the Mayor of Boston. Such member must belong to that one of the
two leading political parties of which the Police Commissioner is not a
member. In case of disagreement the Chief Justice of the Municipal
Court becomes a member for the purpose of settling such disagreement.
By Chapter 440, Acts of 1909, the time for the police listing wag
changed to the first week of April.

MEDICAL INSPECTORS AND NURSES.
Regular medical inspection of the schools has been maintained since
1894, under the supervision of the Health Department. For list of the
84 School Physicians, see that department. For results of medical inspec-
tion during the year 1912, see Table IX.-4, Bulletin of Statistics Depart-
ment, Vol. XIV., Nos. 10, 11, 12.
Chapter 357, Acts of 1907, provided for the appointment by the School
Committee of one supervising female nurse and as many district female
nurses as are deemed necessary. Their duties are to assist the medical
inspectors in carrjdng out the latters' directions, and to give such
instruction to the pupils as will promote their physical welfare. For the

PHYSICAL TRAINING.
By Chapter 295, Acts of 1907, the School Committee were authorized
to organize and conduct physical training and exercises, athletics, sports
and games and to provide therefor proper apparatus and facilities in the
buildings, yards and playgrounds under their control, also to make similar
use of all such facilities in charge of the Park Commissioners as the latter,
with the Mayor's approval, might deem suitable.
The sum available for this branch of education is four cents on each
$1,000 of the City's assessed valuation, which in 1912 was $56,154. Besides
this, a special appropriation of $20,000 was provided for equipment, etc.
There are now a director and two assistant directors of physical train-
ing, five instructors in athletics and about 150 playground teachers, the
latter having charge of games, etc., in the 21 schoolyard playgrounds
and 36 park playgrounds in use.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS PARTLY MAINTAINED BY STATE.
By Chapter 505, Acts of 1906, amended by Chapter 540, Acts of 1909,
the State especially encourages the establishing of independent industrial
schools, allowing financial aid for their maintenance proportionate to the
amount raised by local taxation and expended for all public schools.
Under this arrangement, the School Committee is reimbursed by the State
to the extent of one-half of the net cost of the five industrial schools estab-
lished in Boston thus far with the approval of the State Board of Educa-
tion, viz.: Boston Industrial School for Boys, Trade School for Girls,
Evening Industrial School, Evening Trade School and the Continuation
School.

USE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY FOR SOCIAL AND CIVIC PURPOSES.
By the provisions of Chapter 195, Acts of 1912, the School Committee
may allow the school property under their control to be used by associa-
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. 139
tions and individuals for social, recreative and civic purposes such as
may be of benefit to the community, with the understanding that such
use shall nowise interfere with the regular school work, and that no
admission fee shall be charged. The School Committee may annually
appropriate for this purpose a sum equal to two cents on each $1,000 of
the City's assessed valuation. This plan was started by establishing
four Evening Centers, each having a manager, in four high schoolhouses,
viz.: Charlestown, East Boston, Roxbury and South Boston, beginning
in October, 1912, and continuing five months. A variety of study clubs,
lectures, concerts and other entertainments are included in these activities
and more of the schoolhouses are now used for them. The basements of
ninety-three schoolhouses are used by the Election Department as polling
places, this arrangement having begun in 1910. In eleven of the school
halls municipal concerts are given and in one schoolhouse (Copley School)
there are municipal baths.
PENSION FUNDS FOR TEACHERS.
As provided by Chapter 589, Acts of 1908, amended by Chapter 617,
Acts of 1910, the School Committee, by a majority vote of all its members,
may retire with a pension any member of the teaching or supervising
staff of the public day schools who has reached the age of sixty-five years,
also such other members as are incapacitated for fm-ther efficient service.
If the teacher retired has been employed in the public day schools for
thirty years or more, ten years of which has been in Boston, the pension
paid amounts to one-third of the annual salary received at time of retire-
ment, but in no case is it less than $312 nor more than $600 annually.
If the period of service is less than thirty years, the pension is proportion-
ally less. The School Committee are authorized to provide for these
pensions by appropriating annually an amount equal to five cents oh
each $1,000 of the City's assessed valuation. The Permanent School
Pension Fund thus accumulated amounted to $194,132, February 1,
1913.
The Boston Teachers' Retirement Fund Association, started in 1900,
is paying $180 per year to 242 annuitants, and the total amount of its
fund on February 1, 1913, was $377,820. At that date 2,625 teachers
were each contributing $18 per j^ear to this fund. There is also the
Teachers' Mutual Benefit Association, which comprises teachers in the
permanent employment of the City. They may be admitted to this
association by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Trustees, by ballot, and
upon the payment of the initiation fee of three dollars ($3) and assess-
ments. This is a mutual organization of teachers by which a teache^"
pays into the treasury one per cent of her annual salary and receives,
upon becoming an annuitant, such annuities as the association is able to
pay. The association has a fund of about $120,000 and the income
from this and the receipts from assessments are divided among the
annuitants each year.

REGULATION OF THE HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS. 157
REGULATION OF THE HEIGHT OF
BUILDINGS.
[Stat. 1904, Chap. 333; Stat. 1905, Chap. 383.]
By Stat. 1904, Chap. 333, the Legislature provided that the City of
Boston should be divided into two districts, designated as Districts A and
B, and that if not repugnant to some other statute, buildings could be
erected in District A to a height of 125 feet, but that except as to certain
projections above the roof, no buildings could be erected in District B to a
height greater than 80 feet. A commission consisting of Nathan Matthews,
Joseph A. Conry, and Henry Parkman was appointed by Mayor Collins,
June 7, 1904, to determine the limits of these districts, and it made a pre-
liminary order on July 5, 1904, which was revised December 3, 1904. Under
Stat. 1905, Chap. 383, the Legislature made certain minor changes in the
law, and also authorized the erection of buildings to a height not exceeding
100 feet in such parts of District B, and on such conditions, as a commission
should determine. The same commission was reappointed under this act
and made a preliminary order July 21, 1905, which was revised November
20, 1905. [See Document 133, 1905.]
District A includes the waterfront regions extending around East Bos-
ton, Charlestown, and the northerly and westerly sides of South Boston as
far as East First and West First streets, Dorchester avenue, and Southamp-
ton street, a narrow strip extending through Wards 12 and 9 east of Albany
street to Broadway, thence the boundary line extends northwesterly and
westerly through Pleasant, Piedmont, and Ferdinand streets to Columbus
avenue, thence across to the corner of Boylston and Arlington streets, along
Boylston to Tremont, thence to Park, Beacon, Bowdoin, and Cambridge
streets, thence through Cambridge, Staniford, Green, and Leverett streets to
Charles River Dam. Of the City Proper, all of Ward 6, nearly all of Ward
7 and the northeastern half of Ward 8 are within District A.
District B comprises all other territory in the City. In this district
buildings may in general be erected to a height of not more than 80 feet, but
on streets exceeding 64 feet in width the height may be equal to one and a
quarter times the width of the widest street upon which the building stands,
said height to be measured from the mean grade of the curbs of all streets
upon which the building is situated and not to exceed in any event 100 feet
above such point of measurement. On all. streets or portions of streets
upon which buildings may be erected on one side only, the buildings may
be erected to a height of 100 feet. No building may be erected to a
height greater than 80 feet unless its width on each and every public street
158 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
upon which it stands be at least one-half its height. Certain special
exceptions to the general regulations affecting District B have been made
as follows :
1. No building can be erected to a height greater than 70 feet, measured
on its principal front, in the territory bounded by Beacon street, Joy street.
Myrtle street, Hancock street and Hancock avenue.
2. So long as the property owned by the City of Boston on Dalton,
Belvidere and Scotia streets shall be used for a Mechanic Arts High School
any building or buildings thereon may be erected to a height of 100 feet.
3. Buildings may be erected to a height not exceeding 125 feet in that
portion of District B which lies 50 feet westerly from the boundary line
running from Columbus avenue to the centre of Boylston street separating
District A from District B, provided that said portion of District B is
owned by the same person or persons who own the adjoining premises in
District A.
4. No building can be erected on a parkway, boulevard or public way
on which a building Hne has been established by the Board of Park Com-
missioners or by the Board of Street Commissioners acting under any
general or special statute, to a greater height than that allowed by the order
of said Boards.
5. No building upon any land, any owner of which has received and
retained compensation in damages for any limitation of height, or who
retains any claim for such damages, can be erected to a height greater than
that fixed by the limitation for which such damages were received or
claimed.

WARDS.
New wards were established for the City in the year eighteen hundred
and ninety-five, the first division into new wards since the year 1875.^ An
attempt was made by the City Council to make a new division of wards
in the year 1885, and an ordinance to that effect was prepared by a
special committee appointed for the purpose, passed by the City Council
and approved by the Mayor.- Certain questions were raised, how-
ever, in the General Court of 1886, relative to establishing State, sena-
torial and representative districts, and as to whether such districts should
be established according to the territorial boundaries of cities and towns
and their wards as they existed on the first day of May, 1885, or whether
new ward lines, as in the case of the City of Boston, should be followed.
On May 21, 1886, the opinion of the Justices of the Supreme Judicial
Court was asked by the Legislature on this matter, and they decided
that the district divisions referred to must be made according to terri-
torial and other boundaries existing on the first day of May, 1885, and
that the new ward divisions were illegal.^ On account of this opinion
of the Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, an act was passed by the
Legislature in June, 1886,* which provided that the several wards, pre-
cincts, and assessment districts of the several cities of the Commonwealth,
existing May 1, 1885, should be established as the wards, precincts,
and assessment districts of said cities, any acts or ordinances of the city
councils of said cities to the contrary notwithstanding. The new divi-
sion of wards was thus set aside and the ward lines established in 1875
remained in effect until they were changed in 1895 and established under
the provisions of Chapter 417 of the Acts of 1893, as below. According
to this act, a city may be redivided into wards in every tenth year after
1895, but this is not mandatory. In 1905 a new division of the City was
attempted by the City Council, but neither of the plans submitted was
adopted.
A new ward (Ward 26) was added to the twenty-five wards of the City
existing since 1895, by the annexation of Hyde Park on January 1, 1912, as
provided by Chapter 469, Acts of 1911.
1 An ordinance providing for a new division of the City into wards passed Nov. 16,
1875. An ordinance to make Breed's Island, so called, part of Ward 1 passed Dec. 4,
1875. By Chap. 242 of the Acts of 1876 the City Council were directed to divide Ward
Twenty-two into two wards to be called Wards 22 and 25. The division was accord-
ingly made by an ordinance passed May 27, 1876.
2 An ordinance making a new division of the city into wards passed December 23, 1885.

Note. — The existing wards are the same as those created by ordinance in 1895, but four-
teen precincts were added in the fifteen years ending 1910, viz.: Precincts nine to fifteen
(inclusive) in Ward 20, ten, eleven and twelve in Ward 21, ten, eleven and twelve in Ward 24
and precinct nine in Ward 19, making the total number of precincts 205 in 1910. For later
additions see page 171.
According to chapter 417, Acts of 1893, a city may be redivided into wards in every tenth
year after 1895, but this is not mandatory. After the State Census in 1905, a new division of
Boston was attempted by the City Council, but neither of the plans submitted was adopted,
and no division can now be made until 1915 unless sanctioned by a special legislative act.
