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 fist of Alder-
men and Councilmen since 1822 was dropped.

By the direction of the Committee on Rules The
Municipal Register of 1917 has been compiled by the
Statistics Department.

OEIGIN AND GEOWTH 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 foUomng 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
no 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, BrookUne, Quincy,
Braintree, Randolph and Holbrook, besides certain
islands in the harbor. From 1637 till May 13, 1640,

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 Umits there are 30,598
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), in 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 on June *30, 1737, for
£3,660. (3) June 26, 1794, a township of land in
Maine (23,040 acres) "to build a pubhc 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 wdthin
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, bv 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.

THE CITY SEAL
As it appeared prior to 1827.

The City Seal was adopted hy ''An Ordinance to
Establish the City Seal," passed Januarj'- 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 1914, 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 on the second page.

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 were 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 pubUc in September,
1858*, and closed finally in January, 1895. The Central Library Building on
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 $33,561.09 of this appropriation was
used in 1916 for the purchase of books and periodicals. The 37 Library
trust funds in the custody of the City Treasurer amounted to $542,859 on
February 1, 1917, the annual interest on these being used for 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 Bulletin of a new series is now issued, and a weekly hst
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;
fourteen branch hbraries with independent collections of books; sixteen
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, 1917, in the Central Library, branch hbraries and
reading-rooms, 570 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 work only a few hours or days in
each week.

Between the Central Library and these thirty stations, by hbrary
wagons, there is a daily exchange of books and cards, whereby persons
hving in outlying districts can draw books from the Central Library without
the necessity of coming in person.

The dehvery or deposit of books is also undertaken in one hundred
and sixty-one public and parochial schools, thirty-six institutions and
sixty-two 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 furnish guaranties. For reading
and reference the Library is open to aU without formahty. Special cards
for more extended privileges are issued to clergymen officiating 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, 1917, there were 104,325 card-holders having the right to draw
books for home use. The total number of volumes was 1,139,682, and of
different newspapers and periodicals currently received at the Central
Library and branches about 2,200. Books issued in 1916, for home use
and for use through schools and institutions, numbered 2,050,238. Of
reference use, on account of the freedom with which books may be con-
sulted, no adequate statistics are kept.

time, to lease the stalls in the market for five years at rents not less than
those established by the City Council. The market police are appointed

As a municipal enterprise the Quincy Market has been steadily profitable,
yielding a total net income in rentals, etc., of about $4,.-j00,000 in the past 70
years Faneuil Hall Market yields $15,000 to $16,000 net yearly income,
or about one-sixth that of Quincy Market. For a historical and financial

The Overseers of the Poor in the Town of Boston, a corporation estab-
lished in 1772 by act of the Legislature, were succeeded in 1864 by the
corporation caUed "Overseers of the Poor in the City of Boston," consist-
ing of twelve residents of Boston, four of whom are appointed annually
to serve for the term of three years from the first day of May. The Board
has issued annual reports since 1865.

The Overseers of the Poor are also incorporated as a Board of Trus-
tees of John Boylston's and other charitable funds, left for the assistance
of persons of good character and advanced age, "who have been reduced
by misfortune to indigence and want."

In charge of the Overseers are the Wayfarers' Lodge on Hawkins street,
opened in 1878, which gives free lodging to homeless men who are out of
employment, but exacts work in its woody ard for meals furnished; and
the Temporary Home on Chardon street for destitute women and children,

1917, was $895,199.

Since the City's park development began, in 1877, the total expenditure,
to the close of 191(5, for parks, parkways and playgrounds (exclusive of
the annual maintenance appropriation) is $21,327,789, or $9,440,901
for the land and $11,880,828 for construction.

The Arnold Arboretum (the "tree museum" of Harvard University)*
containing originally 122.0 acres, was added with other lands, in 1882,
to the City's park system, under a special contract with Harvard Uni-
versity, and in 189.5 another tract of 75 acres (Peters' Hill), also belonging
to the University, was included, the name Bussey Park being added to
the title. All the land in these tracts not required for driveways and walks,
a quarry reservation and traffic road is used, under the trusts created by
the wills of Benjamin Bussey and James Arnold, for Harvard's extensive
collection of specimens of such trees and shrubs as will Uve in this climatC'

Fund income.

GEORGE p. 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 purchase 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, 1917, the principal of the fund in
the custody of the City Treasurer amounted to $5,178,687. In the fiscal
year, 1916-17, the income from the fund was $197,424, i. e., nearly four
per cent.

streets, alleys, parks and public grounds, also the setting up of all new
lamps and the placing of glass street signs and nunribers therein..

In 1915 the Sewer and Water Division was merged with the Highway
Division under the name of the latter, thus bringing the Sewer Service
and the Water Service in charge of the Highway Division Engineer.
Under his control are the preparation of plans for and the construction of
new sewers, the repairing and cleaning of existing sewers and catch-ba.sins,
the granting of permits for making sewer connections, and the investiga-
tion of complaints in regard to defective drainage; the care and main-
tenance of all pipes and other fixtures and appUances held by the City
for the purposes of its water supply, including the laying and relaying of
pipes, the installation and testing of meters and the placing of pubhc
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 Pubhc Works Department but by the Board of
Street Commissioners (See Street Laying-Out Department).

The total length of common and intercepting sewers in the City on
February 1, 1917, was 940.91 miles; of supply and distributing water
mains, 864.35 miles; number of water meters in use, 60,499 (on January 1)
or 6,541 more than in 1916 at same date; number of pubhc fire h3-drant3,
9,528; number of pubhc drinking fountains, 157, of which 87 are fitted
with hygienic bubble fixtures and 70 are for animals only.

The first water document pubhshed by the City of Boston appeared
in 1825. The pubhc 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 abohshed and the Water Department created, a single commissioner
being entrusted with all the powers previously exercised bj' the Boston
Water Board and the Boston Water Registrar.

By Chapter 488, Acts of 1895, the State provided for a metropolitan
water supply, Boston being included among the mimicipahties thus to be
supphed. 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 pmnping
station there, with adjacent lands. The sum paid to the Citj' was
$12,531,000. Payments to the State by the City for its supply of water
have been regularly made since 1898. In the existing Metropohtan
Water District are nine cities, besides Boston, and nine towns. Boston
took 76.2 per cent of the entire water supply of the District in 1915.

The total number of water rate payers {i. e., to the City) on Januarv 1,
1917, was about 103,500 and the daily average amount of water used in
1916 was 80,358,000 gallons, or 105 gallons per capita. This daily average
is 2,706,200 gallons more than that reported for 1915.

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 undergroimd, 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 they were sufficiently insulated;

104 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.

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 189S provided that in each of the years
1900-1909, inclusive, the Commissioner of Wires should prescribe the limits
of a district within which, for not more than two miles of streets, ave-
nues, or highways, certain wires, cables and conductors were to be removed
or placed underground during the calendar year.

By Chapter 347 of the Acts of 1908, the Commissioner was required to
extend the same improvements to other streets, i. e., two miles each j^ear
to 1919, inclusive. Under Section 2 of the same Act, the Commissioner
was authorized to grant such terminal pole locations as were in his judg-
ment necessary, and under Section 3 he was authorized to make such rules
and regidations relating to the insulation of overhead and underground
wires, cables and conductors and appliances as were reasonably necessary
for the pm'poses of safety The Commissioner is sole judge of what con-
stitutes proper and safe insulation of electric conductors and appliances
within buildings.

According to Chapter 339, Acts of 1908, any person, firm or corpora-
tion faiUng to notify the Commissioner of the instaUing of wiring or appa-
ratus for electric hght, 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 (instead of two miles, as hitherto)
of streets in 1912 and each year thereafter to 1916, inclusive, within which
all wires, etc., were to be removed (with the poles or other structm'es
supporting them) and placed underground.

By Chapter 196, Acts of 1916, the powers conferred and the duties
imposed upon the Commissioner of Wires by legislation in 1911 and j-ears
prior thereto were extended from 1917 to 1121, inclusive.

tions), of the Charlestown bridge (costing $1,570,198), of the tunnel to
East Boston, opened December 30, 1904 (costing $3,300, 000^ and the

elevated railway trains exclusively, was opened for traffic on November
30, 1908. It is 1.16 miles long and cost $8,496,700, of which the land
damages amounted to $2,850,000.

The Commission began constructing in September, 1909, under the

the new Cambridge bridge to the Park street station of the Tremont
street subway, as a connection with the Cambridge Main street subway
built by the Boston Elevated Railway. This two-track subway for train

$1,465,000 was opened for traffic March 23, 1912.

By Chapter 741, Acts of 1911, the Commission was further charged
with the construction of the East Boston Tunnel Extension (about 2,300
feet in length), to connect Court street and Scollay square with Bowdoin
square and Cambridge street. This two-track subway for surface cars
was opened for traffic on March 18, 1916, its cost being $2,450,000. The
same legislation provided for the Boylston street subway (about 1.9
mUes in length, substituted for the Riverbank subway), and the Dor-
chester tunnel for train service (length about 2.27 miles), to connect with
the Cambridge route at Park street station and extend under Winter and
Summer streets to South Station, thence to Andrew square, Dorchester.

mont street subway near Park square to Commonwealth avenue near
Kenmore street, was opened for traffic October 3, 1914, and the total
expenditure therefor, to February 1, 1917, was $4,995,000. That part of
the Dorchester tunnel between Park street station and South Station
was opened to public use on December 4, 1916. The loans issued for
Dorchester tunnel construction up to February 1, 1917, amounted to
$8,650,000. Total approximate cost of subways and tunnels, $34,000,000,

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
political parties must be represented and the term of the members is
fixed at six years; after the first appointments, one member retiring every

Hquors; and by Chapter 102 of the Revised Laws and Amendments

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 Fund.

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 FrankUn, -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 Episcopalian, 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 Pubhc Works which may be judged of most general utility 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,
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 Frankhn 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 (13? of the fund) was paid to the City Treasurer, for "the
purchase of land and the erection thereon of the FrankUn Trades School
and for the equipment of the same." Owing to a series of compUcations
the money 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 wiU, 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 chari-
tal")le funds, appointed, on March 16, 1904, a Board of Managers to take
the place of the "Selectmen," and provided in the decree of the Court

MEDICAL EXAMINERS FOR SUFFOLK COUNTY. 125

hat 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. Androw
Carnegie $408,396.48, said sum being equal to the amount of the Franklin
Fund in August, 1904, which Mr. Carnegie agieed to duplicate. Only the
annual income from this fund is used.

On January 31, 1907, the amount of the "accumulated" fund available
for expenditure by the Managers was $438,741.89, and in that yeat the
Franklin Union Building was erected at the corner of Appleton and Ber-
keley streets. It was opened for the use of the Franklin Trades School,
or Franklin Union as it is now called, in September, 1908. This is main-
tained partly by the nominal registration fees, by rentals, and by the
income (about $22, .500 yearly) from the above mentioned Franklin Fund
{i. e., the Andrew Carnegie Donation), which amounted to $46.5,813.39 on
January 31, 1917. The building contains 24 classrooms and 6 draughting
rooms, where about 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 $402,718. The site was purchased in 1906 for $100,000.

The Franklin Accumulating Fund, which will become available in 1991,
amounted, on January 31, 1917, to $256,892.43.

The Board of PoUce for the City of Boston was established by Chapter

appointed for five years from the two principal pohtical parties by the
Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council. The

* Term ends in 1921.

134 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.

Board assumed office on July 23, 18S5. By Chapter 291 of the Acts of
1906, the department was placed in charge of a single head, to be known
as the PoUce Commissioner.

The powers of the Board of Pohce, except those relating to the grant-
ing of intelhgence office, biUiard and pool, skating rink, picnic grove,
bowHng alley, common victualers' and liquor hcenses, which were trans-
ferred to the newly created Licensing Board, devolve upon the Pohce
Commissioner. The present Police Commissioner assumed office June 4,
1906, for a term of five years, was reappointed in 1911, and again in 1916.

The City is divided into nineteen Pohce 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 pohce
force, and they receive pay in accordance with their rank in the force.
The pohce steamer "Guardian" and the steam launches "Ferret," "Watch-
man" and "Alert" are employed in this service.

By Chapter 91, General Acts of 1915, the duties devolving upon the
Pohce Commissioner as to the annual hsting of resident men, 20 years of
age or over, also of women voters, were transferred to the Board of
Assessors. This did not prove to be satisfactory, and in 1917, by Chapter
29, General Acts, the Police Commissioner was again entrusted with this
annual listing.

On December 1, 1916, the police force numbered 1,622 men, including
25 captains, 26 inspectors, 40 lieutenants, 107 sergeants, 1,326 patrolmen
and 95 reservemen. There were 19 men in the signal service, whose
director has charge of 489 signal boxes. In the calendar year 1916 the
number of persons arrested was 97,232, of which 67.65 per cent were for
drunkenness and 38.42 per cent were not residents of Boston. Foreign-
born persons arrested, 41,829 ; women and girls, all ages, 9,081 ; 'boys under
15 years of age, 2,225. In year ending November 30, 1916, persons
imprisoned, 8,124; persons fined, 13,610, the fines amounting to $114,788;
stolen propertj'- recovered, $311,530; licenses granted, 21,081 (including
9,272 for dogs and 8,261 for vehicles), for which $42,440 was received;
prosecutions for violation of automobile laws, 4,441.

Salaries: Captains, $3,000 per annum; inspectors and heutenants,
$2,000 per annum; sergeants, $1,750 per annum; patrolmen, first year's
service, $1,000; second year's, $1,100; third year's, $1,200; fourth year's,

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 facihties in the
buildings, yards and playgrounds under their control, also to make similar
use of all such facihties in charge of the Park and Recreation Commis-
sioners 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 the year 1916-17 was
$61,521. Besides this, a special appropration of $22,183 was provided
for playground activities.

There are now thirteen instructors and nine assistant instructors of
physical training, also 150 playground teachers, the latter having charge
of games, gymnastics, etc., in the 34 schoolyard playgrounds and 55 park
playgrounds in use.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS PARTLY MAINTAINED BY STATE.

By Chapter 471, Acts of 1911, and Chapter 106, Acts of 1912, 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 pubhc schools. Under this
arrangement, the School Committee is reimbursed by the State to the
extent of one half the net maintenance cost of such industrial schools
estabhshed in Boston thus far with the approval of the State Board of
Education. By Chapter 805, Acts of 1913, Continuation Schools, for
employed children between fourteen and sixteen years of age, were included
under the same plan of State aid. The four schools thus maintained are
the Boston Trade School (for Boys), day and evening, Trade School for
Girls, day and evening, Voluntary Continuation School and Compulsory
Continuation School. In 1916-17 the amount received from the State
for this purpose was $56,452.

MANUAL TRAINING ROOMS.

There are six manual training rooms located in high schools, one in
each of the following named districts: Brighton, Charlestown, Dorchester,
East Boston, Hyde Park and West Roxbury. In addition to these there
are sixty-eight manual training rooms located in elementary schools, viz. :
Seven in East Boston, five in Charlestown, nine in Boston proper, nine in

DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 147

USE OF SCHOOL PROPEIITY FOR SOCIAL AND CIVIC PURPOSES.

By the provisions of Chapter H).'}, Acts of 1912, the School Committee
may allow the school property under their control to be used by associa-
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. The School Com-
mittee may annually appropriate for this purpose a sum equal to two
cents on each $1,000 of the City's assessed valuation, which in the year
1916-17 amounted to $34,256. 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. Three more have since
been opened, viz., the North End, in Hancock schoolhouse; West End,
in Wells schoolhouse, and the Dorchester Center in the high schoolhouse
there. A variety of study clubs, lectures, concerts and other enter-
tainments are included in these activities. The centers remain in session
from the third Friday in October to June 30, on three evenings a week
with some variation as to days. Their membership is limited to persons
over 14 years of age who are not pupils in the regular day schools. Widen-
ing interest in the centers has extended their activities to one or more
afternoons each week. Persons attending the various meetings and
entertainments in nine months ending June 30, 1916, numbered 212,416.
The appeal of the School Center that "every plus talent of a community
be used through it" for mutual benefit is meeting with response. The
basements of 120 schoolhouses are used by the Election Department as
polUng places.

PJ2NSI0N AND RETIREMENT 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 super\'ising staff
of the pubUc day schools who has reached the age of sixty-five years, also
such other members as are incapacitated for further efficient service. If
the teacher retired has been employed in the public day schools for a period
of thirty 3'ears 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 S600 annually. K
the period of service is less than thirty years, the pension is proportionally
less. The School Committee were authorized to provide for these pensions
by appropriating annually an amount equal to five cents on each 81,000
of the City's assessed valuation. This allowance was increased b}* Chap .

148

MUNICIPAL REGISTER.

304, Special Acts of 1915, to seven cents on each $1,000. The Perma-
nent School Pension Fund amounted to $246,296, February 1, 1917, and
286 retired teachers were receiving pensions therefrom.

The Boston Teachers' Retirement Fund Association, started in 1900,
is paying $120 per year to 283 annuitants, and the total amount of its fund
on February 1, 1917, was $493,817. At that date 2,826 teachers were each
contributing $18 per year to this fund.

building may be erected to a height greater than 80 feet unless its width
on each and every public street 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:

No building can be erected to a height greater than 70 feet, measured
on its principal front, in the territory bounded bj^ Beacon, Joy, MjTtle and
Hancock sts. and Hancock ave.

So long as the property owned by the City of Boston on Dalton, Bel-
videre and Scotia sts. shall be used for a Mechanic .Ai'ts High School
any building or buildings thereon may be erected to a height of 100 feet.

No building can be erected on a parkwa}', boulevard or public way

compensation in damages for any limitation of height, or who retains
anj' claim for such damages, can be erected to a height gi-eater than that

and 12 feet high, nor to other similar constructions such as are usually
erected above the roof line of buildings, nor to sugar refineries in District A.

By Chapter 416, Acts of 1907, the width of Rutherford ave. in the
Charlestown district, between Chapman st. and the Mystic River
tracks of the B. & M. R.R. crossing the northerly part of said
avenue, was considered as 80 feet in respect to the height of build-
ings that might be erected on the southwesterly and westerly side of said
avenue, between the points mentioned, so as to permit the erection of
buildings to the height of 100 feet, as provided for buildings erected on
streets of the width aforesaid in District B.

By Chapter 582, Acts of 1912, the height of City Hall Annex was per-
mitted to be 133 feet above the grade of Court street, i. e., 8 feet in excess
of the limit originally legalized for District A.

By Chapter 786, Acts of 1914, the parcel of land bounded by Wash-
ington St., Lovering place, Harrison ave. and Asylum st. was exempted
from the laws relative to the height of buildings which might be erected
thereon, except that the limit of 125 feet remained in force.

Certain parties being aggi'ieved by the order of November 2, 1916,
and filing petitions for its revision, the Commission, after due consideration,
revised the order on January 12, 1917, excluding from District A and
including in District B a certain tract of land bounded by Boylston and
Providence sts., St. James ave., Blagden st., etc., near Copley square.

THE WARDS OF BOSTON.

Wards with definite boundaries by streets were first established in 1715.
There were eight wards, three in the North End and five in the South
End, from that year until 1735, when the number was increased to twelve.
The ward lines then fixed remained substantially unchanged for seventy
years until the division made by the Selectmen in 1805. In 1822, when
the town became a city, there was a redivision on the basis of the U. S.
Census of 1820, the number still remaining twelve. Subsequent changes
of ward boundaries were made in 1838, 1850, 1865, 1875, 1895 and lastly,
that which was enacted December 28, 1914. In 1865 nine wards were
added to provide for the annexed districts, in 1875 * and 1876 * the number
was increased to 25 and in 1912 another annexation, viz.: Hyde Park,
brought the total to 26. In 1885 an attempt was made by the City Coun-
cil to make a new division of wards, 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, however, in the General Court of 1886, relative to establishing
State, senatorial and representative districts, and as to whether such dis-
tricts should be established according to the territorial boundaries of cities
and towTis 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
territorial 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 coun-
cils of said cities to the contrary notwithstanding. The new division 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 pro-

* 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 Jvards. to be called Wards 22 and 25. The division was accord-
ingly made by an ordinance passed May 27, 1876.

visions of Chapter 417 of the Acts of 1893. According to thiw act, a city
may be redivided into wards in every tenth year after 1895, but thia is
not mandatory. In 190.5 a new division of the City was attempted by
the City Council, but neither of the plans submitted was adopted.

Acting under the authority of Chapter G.30, Acts of 1914,* the City
Council redivided the territory of the City, establishing the boundaries
of 26 wards as below.

THE NEW AND THE OLD WARDS
COMPARED.

On June 7, 1915, the City Council passed an order di\'iding the new
wards, established on December 28, 1914, into "223 voting precincts con-
taining as near 500 voters each as the natural configuration of the City will
allow." The number of wards is 26, the same as before, while the precincts
number two less than before. For description of the boimdary of each new
ward and precinct, see preceding pages, viz., 177 to 231. The comparison
between the number of precincts and of voters in the new wards and the
old is shown in the following table:

kSTATISTICS

OF

Population and Area.

248 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.

Enumerated Population of Boston,

APRIL 1, 1915,
•745,439.

Estimated population, July i, 1917,

774,037.

According to the State Bureau of Statistics, which had charge of the
State Census of 1915 (as of April 1), the population of Boston on that
date was 745,439 {i. e., 369,434 males and 376,005 females), an increase
of 74,854, or 11.16 per cent, since April 15, 1910, when it was 670,585
(Federal census); and of 25.2 per cent, over that of May 1, 1905, viz.,
595,380, enumerated also by the State Census.

This State Census of 1915 was taken according to the new ward and
precinct boundaries, as established in 1914 and 1915. The complete figures
for the 223 voting precincts with ward totals and per cent of each ward to
whole city are shown on the next page.

Comparison with the census figures of earlier years cannot be made
except by geographical districts, which remain unchanged. The two
tables showing the population by districts, with increase and per cent of
increase every five years from 1850 to 1915 inclusive, appear on pages 250
and 251. On page 252 are shown the native born (by states) and foreign
born; on page 253 the foreign-born with country of birth and on page 254
the ward figures by sex.

Since 1875 the only considerable amount of territory annexed to Boston
is Hyde Park, whose population on April 15, 1910, was 15,507, and esti-
mated to be, at date of annexation, January 1, 1912, 15,936.

Among American cities, Boston has ranked fifth in population since 1890.

It is now a close rival of St. Louis for fourth in rank.

Note. — In acpordance with chapter 279, Acts of 1903, amended by chapter 291, Acts
of 1900, all male ri'.sidonts 20 years of age or more have been listed by the police annually on
May 1. Thi.s date was chaniiod to April 1 by chapter 440, Acts of 1909. In Boston only
was the voting list prepared from a police canvass in the years 1903 to 1915, inclusive.
Elsewhere in the state the Assessors' list of polls has been the basis of the voting list, as it
was in Roston in 1910, the change having been ordered by Chapter 91, General Acts of 1915.

In 1917, by chapter 29, General Acts, the listing was again entrusted to the Police.

ASSESSED VALUATION AND TAX RATE, 1917.

Total assessed valuation as of April 1, 1917, $1,467,123,243, or
$1,304,581,800 real estate and $162,541,443 personal.

Total tax rate, $17.70 per $1,000 of valuation, or 10 cents less than in
1916, divided thus: City tax, $13.51; County tax, $1.20; State tax, $2.99,
the latter increased 51 cents over the 1916 rate. Total tax warrant, $29,-
318,047.39, or $22,493,503.57 City tax; $1,954,667.47 County tax and
$4,869,876.35 State tax; Poll tax, $421,426, or $2 each on 210,713 polls.

The real estate valuation shows a gain of $24,803,500 over the 1916
total; the personalty a loss of $166,388,236 because of the exemption of
intangible property from taxation this year for the first time. The re-
sulting loss in the personalty taxes is offset by the State's distribution of
the taxes collected on incomes from intangibles as explained below.

In the 10 years, 1906 to 1916, the assessed valuation increased 25 per
cent, the population 26 per cent and the tax rate 12 per cent.

NEW INCOME TAX (STATE) ON INTANGIBLE PROPERTY.

In accordance with Chap. 269, §§ 2 and 11, General Acts of 1916,
intangible personal property (except bank stock) ceased to be subject to
assessment and taxation in 1917 and thereafter. In place of that tax an
income tax was established, amounting to six per cent per year on in-
come derived from such intangibles, subject to various specified exemp-
tions.

Owing to the exemption from tax of intangible personal property, the
total valuation of personalty in Boston decreased from $328,929,679 in
1916 to $162,541,443 in 1917, a loss representing $2,945,072 in taxes. By
sec. 23 of said Chapter 269 it is provided that on or before Nov. 15 the
State Treasurer shall pay to each city or town an amount equal to the
difference between the personal property levy in 1915 and that of 1917
computed at the 1915 tax rate. If the income taxes collected exceed the
amount required for such distribution, the excess shall also be distributed,
in proportion to the State tax imposed on each city or town in 1917. The
amount of income taxes payable to the City of Boston under said statute
in 1917 is approximately $3,800,000.

RETIREMENT LAWS AND PENSIONS.*

By Chapter 619, Acts of 1910, amended by Chapter 338, Acts of 1911,
cities and towns are authorized to establish the retirement and contributory
pension system therein set forth and applying to all municipal employees
alike. The system has not become law in Boston because the City Coxin-
cil rejected it as impracticable. The classes of retired employees now
receiving pensions are the police (since 1878), firemen (since 1880), school
teachers (since 1908), judges, prison officers. Civil War veterans (since
1911) and laborers, skilled and unskilled. The largest class, t. e. the
laborers, were provided for by Chapter 413, Acts of 1911, accepted by
the City Council on October 26, 1911. Any laborer sixty years of age
or over, who has served the City for twenty-five years and is physically
incapacitated shall, at his request, be retired from service, receiving for
the remainder of his life an annual pension equal to one-half of his pay
for his final year's service. All retirements are subject to the approval
of the Retirement Board, viz., the Mayor, City Auditor and City Treas-
urer, who serve without compensation. Retirement is compulsory when
any laborer reaches the age of seventy.

Chapter 367, Acts of 1913, specifies that the amount of the annual
pension payable to such retired laborers, skilled laborers, mechanics, etc.,
is not to exceed $360.

Chapter 765, Acts of 1914, provides that the Retirement Board, upon
request of the Mayor and City Council, may retire any laborer employed
by the City who, owing to injury, physical kicompetencj-, old age or
infirmity may be incapable of further performance of his work.

Veterans of the Civil War in City service, if incapacitated for active
duty, are retired, with the consent of the Mayor, at one-half pay, provided
they have been in the City's service for at least ten years. This is in
accordance with Chapter 113, Acts of 1911, which went into effect March
8, 1911, the date of its approval.

As provided by Chapter 459, Acts of 1910, veterans of the Civil War in
the service of any county if incapacitated for active duty, may be retired
by the County Commissioners, with the consent of the Governor, on half
pay, when they have been ten years ia the county service, and have

reached the age of sixty-five. When necessary for the good of the service

NEW SENATORIAL, REPRESENTATIVE AND COUNCILLOR

DISTRICTS IN BOSTON.*

The decennial apportionment, based upon the 1915 census of legal

voters, established new political districts as stated in Chapter 270, General

Acts of 1916. Those including one or more of the new wards of Boston

are as follows:

Senatorial Districts.

First Suffolk, Ward 1, with Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop. — Second
Suffolk, Wards 3, 4 and 5, with first two wards of Cambridge. — Third
Suffolk, Wards 9, 10 and 11.— Fourth Suffolk, Wards 2, 6 and 12.—
Fifth Suffolk, Wards 7 and 8.— Sixth Suffolk, Wards 13, 14 and 15.—
Seventh Suffolk, Wards 17, 18 and 20.— Eighth Suffolk, Wards 16, 22
and 23.— Ninth Suffolk, Wards 19, 21 and 24. The Brighton wards,
25 and 26, are in the Norfolk and Suffolk District, with Brookline and
Watertown. Total Senatorial Districts, 10, instead of 9, as formerly.

Representative Districts.
Each ward of Boston, from Ward 1 to Ward 18 inclusive, constitutes
a Suffolk district numbered the same as the waxd. District 19 includes
Wards 19 and 20; District 22, Wards 22 and 23; District 24, Wards 21
and 24. Districts 25 and 26 are Wards 25 and 26. Districts 20, 21, 23
and 27 are in Chelsea, Winthrop and Revere. The Boston districts have
two representatives each, except as follows: the 5th, 6th, 7th, 19th, 22nd
and 24th three representatives each; the 25th and 26th one each. The
average ratio for the 165 Representative districts of the State is 4,702
legal voters and 22,383 population to each. Of the 54 Suffolk County
representatives, Boston has 50.

Councillor Districts.
The Second, Third and Fourth Councillor Districts of the State are
constituted as follows from the Suffolk Senatorial Districts: Second,
8th and 9th Suffolk, with the Norfolk and Suffolk District and two dis-
tricts outside.— Third, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th Suffolk.— Fourth,
1st and 5th Suffolk with three districts outside.

CORRECTIONS.

LATEST DEPARTMENTAL ITEMS, CHANGES, ETC.
Budget Department established by chapter '.i, Ordinances of 1917, to
be under the charge of a Ijudget commissioner with annual salary of
$5,000.

Fire Department (See page 53). — Ordinance providing for one day off
in three (instead of one in five, as before) for firemen passed by City
Council on August 6, 1917, by a vote of six to three, to take effect Feb-
ruary 1, 1918, approved by Mayor Aug. 22 after a pubhc hearing.

Captain William E. Riley of Engine Company 4 promoted to be
district chief (assigned to District 1), filUng vacancy caused by retire-
ment of Dist. Chief William Coulter of Dist. 5, a member of the
department for 35 years, serving as district chief since Jan., 1914, and as
captain for 19 years previously; Dist. Chief A. J. Caulfield transferred
from District 1 to 5, Capt. P. F. Goggin from Engine 36 to Engine 4,
and Capt. H. J. Power from Ladder 1 to Engine 8; Engine 1 and Ladder
5 of South Boston are now included in the motor apparatus, and Engines
22 and 36 each have a new motor-driven hose and chemical car.

Health Department. — The Health Commissioner states that from
Jan. 1 to July 1, 1917, the number of deaths reported to the department
was 6,975, or 133 more than in the same period in 1916. Part of this
increase was due to the excess of nonresident deaths, i. e., 69, over those
of the 1916 half-year.

Police Department (See page 133.) — The PoUce Commissioner issued,
in August, General Orders Nos. 1180 and 1181, stating that policemen
were not exempt from the national military draft for the European war,
that about 200 of the force were subject to the draft and that by chap.
254, General Acts of 1917, accepted by the City Council on ]May 24,
the difference between their compensation while in the military ser^-ice
and their salaries in the City's service would be made up by the City.
On August 30 the Corporation Counsel stated to the City Auditor the
legal opinion that the above-mentioned Act (chap. 254) referred only to
volunteers, thus excluding drafted men.

Captain Robert E. Grant transferred from Division 12 to IS, taking
the position formerly filled by Capt. James F. Driscoll, deceased;
Lieut. John J. Rooney promoted to rank of captain and assigned to
Division 12.

Dept. of School Committee (See page 136.) — George S. Burgess,
