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 Registee. 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 1918 has been compiled by the

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 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 estabhshing 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 30,598
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 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.

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 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 public 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 $30,275.00 of this appropriation was
used in 1917 for the purchase of books and periodicals. The 37 Library
trust funds in the custody of the City Treasurer amounted to $541,728 on
February 1, 1918, 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
pubHshed. The series closed in 1896.
A Quarterly Bulletin 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;
fourteen branch Mbraries 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, 1918, in the Central Library, branch Hbraries and
reading-rooms, about 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 Ubrary
wagons, there is a daily exchange of books and cards, whereby persons
living in outlying districts can draw books from the Central Library without
the necessity of coming in person.
* The Trustees serve without compensation.
LIBRARY DEPARTMENT. 65
The delivery or deposit of books is also undertaken in one hundred
and seventy-nine public and parochial schools, thirty-nine institutions and
sixty fire-company houses.
Cards allowing the use of four books for two weeks are issued to all
residents of Boston with no further attendant 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 all
without formalit5^ Special cards for more extended privileges are issued
to clergymen officiating in the City, and to teachers giving instruction in
Boston institutions of learning; a special card is also issued in certain
cases by the Trustees. On February 1, 1918, there were 101,891 card-
holders having the right to draw books for home use. The total number
of volumes was 1,157,326, and of different newspapers and periodicals
currently received at the Central Library and branches about 2,200.
Books issued in 1917, for home use and for use through schools and insti-
tutions, numbered 2,074,455. Of reference use, on account of the freedom
with which books may be consulted, no adequate statistics are kept.

Faneuil HaU Market, proposed in Mayor Quincy's message of July 31,
1823, and completed in 1826, was under the charge of a Clerk of the
Market until an ordinance of September 9, 1852, estabhshed the office
of Superintendent. According to the Revised Ordinances of 1898, Chap.
1, § 4, tenth, Faneuil Hall Market includes the lower floor, porches and
cellar of the buildings called respectively Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market.
The Superintendent has charge and control of these two buildings. He
may assign stands within their limits; and it is his duty, from time to
time, to lease the stalls in the market for five years at rents not less than
those estabhshed by the City Council. The market pohce are appointed
by the Pohce Commissioner and under his control.
As a municipal enterprise the Quincy Market has been steadily profitable,
yielding a total net income in rentals, etc., of about $4,500,000 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 called "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,
opened in 1870. In the year ending January 31, 1918, the number of
cases of aid given was 36,8.56, including 4,075 families aided in their own
homes by money, provisions, etc., of which 1,420 were in the class pro-
vided for by Chapter 763, Acts of 1913, i. e., mothers with dependent
children under fourteen years of age. Payments to this class amounted to
$40S,033, about 40 per cent of which was reimbursed by the State and by
other cities for their proportional part. The total amount of the seventeen
permanent charity funds in the custody of the Overseers on February 1,
19 IS, was $893,398.

Since the City's park development began, in 1877, the total expenditure,
to the close of 1917, for parks, parkways and playgrounds (exclusive of
the annual maintenance appropriation) is $22,065,556, or $9,621,111
for the land and $12,444,445 for construction.
The Arnold Arboretum (the "tree museum" of Harvard University),
containing originally 122.6 acres, was added with other lands, in 1882,
to the City's park system, under a special contract with Harvard Uni-
versity, and in 1895 another tract of 75 acres (Peters' Hill), also belonging
to the University, was included, the name Bussey Park being added to
78 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
the title. AU the land in these tracts not required for driveways and walks,
a quarry reservation and traflBc 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 live in this climate.
The City maintains the roads and walks, also attends to pohcing the
grounds. The Arboretum is open to visitors dailj^ from 7 A. M. until
sunset.
The new Franklin Park Zoological Garden on the northern side of the
park, begun in 1911, now occupies about eighty acres. Up to February 1,
191S, the amount expended for construction, etc., was $329, 4S5. In
the summer of 1912, the group of bear dens, the aquatic flying cage, etc.,
were finished and put on exhibition, in 1913 the bird house with other
attractions, and in 1914 the elephant house, were added. The " Greeting"
or main entrance and concourse leading from Blue Hill avenue, with
massive stone gateway, ornamental fence, etc., is nearing completion.
The new Marine Park Aquarium, costing $144,530 for construction, etc.,
was opened to the public on November 28, 1912. The entire outlay for
both was 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, 1918, the principal of the fund in
the custody of the City Treasurer amounted to $5,206,260. In the fiscal
year, 1917-18, the income from the fund was $197,379, i. e., nearly four
per cent.

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. Up to February 1, 191S, the total of loans issued for
this purpose was $860,000 and the total expenditure $721,952. The work
completed to 1918, including the old salt-water fireboat line, makes 8.03
miles of pipe with 209 hydrants ready for use and supplied by domestic
high service at Tremont street, near West, from a 16-inch gated connection.
Sewer and Sanitary Division.

The Commissioner of Public Works who took charge of the department
in April, 1918, merged the Sewer Service, Sanitary Service and Street
Cleaning and Oiling Service, designating these three former branches of
the Highway Division as the Sewer and Sanitary Division.
The Division Engineer of this division has charge of the preparation of
plans for and the construction of new sewers, the repairing and cleaning of
existing sewers and catch-basins, the granting of permits for sewer con-

nections, and the investigation of complaints as to defective drainage; of
the cleaning and oiling of streets, also the removal of house offal and refuse
in the various districts of the city.
The total length of common and intercepting sewers on February 1, 1918,
was 955.27 miles, 14.36 miles having been constructed in 1917, and the
gross City debt for all sewer construction up to said date was $21,005,580.
Assessments upon the estates benefited by new sewers are not levied by
the Public Works Department but by the Board of Street Commissioners
(see Street Laying-Out Department), who also award damages to real estate
owners having approved claims for such. The assessment upon an estate
for a new sewer is limited to S4.00 per linear foot and it is a lien upon the
property until paid, the law allowing payment in annual instalments of 10
per cent of total assessment with interest.
In 1889 the State Board of Health informed the Legislature as to the
urgent necessity of having two main systems of sewage disposal for the
cities and towns of the Metropolitan District, one for those north of the
Charles River, the other for those south.
By chapter 439 of the Acts of that year, the plans of the said Board wei'e
adopted and, under State control and financing, the Metropolitan Sewerage
Commission of three members undertook the construction of the North
Metropolitan and South Metropolitan systems of trunk and intercepting
sewers, the former to discharge into the sea at Deer Island and the latter at
Moon Island. The City of Boston had already constructed, at a cost of
S4,250,000, pumping works and a trunk sewer from Huntington avenue
and Gainsborough street to Moon Island, hence the South system was
completed by building from Huntington avenue through Brighton and
Newton to Waltham, 8| miles and the whole was put into operation in
the spring of 1892, the State paying the City for pumping and discharging
the sewage received from the territory west of Huntington avenue. The
North Metropolitan system, with four pumping-plants and 41 miles of
sewers, varying from a 9-foot brick sewer in East Boston to a 10-inch
vitrified pipe at opposite ends, went into operation in 1896, costing
§5,116,696. A third system, the Neponset Valley, with a total length of 11 .3
miles, was completed in 1898. It is an intercepting sewer, receiving the
sewage from the local sewers of Hyde Park and parts of West Roxbury and
Dorchester, also Milton and Dedham. In 1906 the High-level sewer was
completed and into its 17 miles of tunnel extending from Parker Hill,
Roxbury, through Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Hyde Park and Quincy
to outlets off Nut Island, nearly all the sewage of the South District was
diverted. Later, this sewer was extended to Brighton and Brookline.
On January 1, 1917, there were 63.9 miles of Metropolitan sewer in the
North District, of which 10.4 miles were in Boston, and 47.6 miles in the
South District, 23.9 miles being in Boston. Tributary to the two Metro-
politan systems there were 1,403 miles of local sewers in the 27 cities and
towns belonging.
In the eleven Sanitary Districts of the City the refuse collected in the
year 1916 amounted to 405,132 tons (of 2,000 lbs.), of which 324,313 tons
94 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
were ashes, 70,075 tons garbage and 10,744 tons waste and rubbish (mostly
paper). Contractors collected 149,520 tons and City employees, aided by
hired teaming, collected 255,612 tons.
REMOVAL OF STORE REFUSE.
As provided by Chapters 1 and 10 of the Ordinances of 1911, the removal
of refuse from shops, stores and warehouses, involving much extra labor,
is attended to by the Sanitary Service and charged for at seven cents a barrel
or bundle (not larger than a floiir barrel). No removals are made except
on delivery of tickets obtainable at 504 City Hall Annex, or at the office
of the Superintendent of Markets, Faneuil Hall Market.
Water Division.

Christopher J. Carven, Engineer in Charge. Salary, $3,500.
Robert W. Wilson, Superintendent, Income Branch. Salary, $3,000.
George H. Finneran, General Foreman. Salary, $2,800.
In April, 1918, by order of the incoming Public Works Commissioner,
that branch of the Highway Division called the Water Service was sepa-
rated therefrom and became the Water Division.
Under the control of the Division Engineer of this division are the care
and maintenance of all pipes and other fixtures and appliances 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
public drinking fountains, also the assessing of water rates and issuing
of the bills therefor.
The total length of supply and distributing water mains on February 1,
1918, was 870.62 miles; number of water meters in use, 62,631 (on Janu-
ary 1), or 2,132 more than in 1917 at same date, making the service about
60 per cent metered; number of public fire hydrants, 9,619; number of
public drinking fountains, 155, of which 87 are fitted with hygienic bubble
fixtures and 68 are for animals only.
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 Desniond 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 municipaUties thus to be

supplied. A State commission, the Metropolitan 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. Total quantity of water in the ten
storage reservoirs of the Metropolitan system on January 1, 1917, 68,685,-
300,000 gallons, of which 80 per cent was in the Wachusett Reservoir in
Clinton, 32 miles west of Boston, an artificial lake 4,135 acres in surface
area and added to the system in 1905. There are also twelve distribution
reservoirs with capacity of 2,399,230,000 gallons, five pumping-stations
being connected with these. In the existing Metropolitan Water District
are nine cities, besides Boston, and nine towns. Boston took 75.6 per cent
of the entire water supply of the District in 1916.
The total number of water services in use in Boston on January 1,
1917, was, 104,615, and the daily average amount of water used in 1917 was
82,100,000 gallons, or 106 gallons per capita. This daily average is
1,742,000 gallons more than that reported for 1916.

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 year
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 regulations relating to the insulation of overhead and underground
wires, cables and conductors and appUances as were reasonably necessary
for the purposes 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 failing to notify the Commissioner of the instaUing of wiring or appa-
ratus for electric Mght, 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 structures
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 years
prior thereto were extended from 1917 to 1921, inclusive.

to July 1, 1911; by Stat. 1911, Chap. 623, to July 1, 1914; by Stat. 1914,
Chap. 644, to July 1, 1917, and by Stat. 1917, Chap. 368 (Special), to July

The Commission had charge of the construction of the Tremont street
subway, opened September 1, 1897 (costing $4,416,000 including altera-
tions), of the Charlestown bridge (costing $1,570,198), of the tunnel to
East Boston, opened December 30, 1904 (costing $3,309,000), and the
Washington street tunnel. This two-track tunnel, which is used for
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

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

same legislation provided for the Boylston street subway (about 1.9
miles 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.
The Boylston street subway (for surface cars only), extending from Tre-
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 Frankhn Foundation is incorporated under Chapter 569 of the
Acts of 1908, and has sole charge of the FrankUn Union, as well as the
management of the Frankhn Fund.
The Frankhn 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 wiU dated June 23, 1789. The
* The Managers serve without compensation.

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. Frankhn, who died April 17, 1793, 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 (Ut 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 compUcations
the money remained in the custody of the Treasurer. Mayor CoUins,
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 pubhc chari-
table 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
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 equal to the amount of the Franklin
Fund in August, 1904, which Mr. Carnegie agreed to duplicate. Only the
annual income from this fimd 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 year the
Frankhn Union BuUding 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
124 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
income (about $22,500 yearly) from the above mentioned Franklin Fund
(t. e., the Andrew Carnegie Donation), which amounted to $460,478 on
January 31, 1918. 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 hbrarj% and a large haU with a seating capacity of 1,000 for
lectures, concerts, discussions and similar piu-poses. 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, 1918, to $267,805.

The Board of Pohce for the City of Boston was estabhshed 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 PoHce Commissioner.
The powers of the Board of PoHce, except those relating to the grant-
ing of intelligence office, billiard and pool, skating rink, picnic grove,
bowhng alley, common victualers' and Uquor Ucenses, which were trans-
ferred to the newly created Licensing Board, devolve upon the Police
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 PoMce 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 poUce
force, and they receive pay in accordance with their rank in the force.
The police steamer "Guardian" and the gasolene boats "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 Usting of resident men, 20 years of
age or over, and verifying the names 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, 1917, the police force numbered 1,669 men, including
26 captains, 25 inspectors, 40 lieutenants, 107 sergeants, 1,331 patrolmen
and 136 reservemen. There were 19 men in the signal service, whose
director has charge of 504 signal boxes. In the calendar year 1917 the
number of persons arrested was 107,980, of which 67.48 per cent were for

born persons arrested, 45,214; women and girls, all ages, 9,400; boys under
15 years of age, 2,298. In year ending November 30, 1917, persons

stolen property recovered, $462,241; licenses granted, 21,836 (including

PHYSICAIi 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 faciUties in the
buildings, yards and playgroimds 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 1917-18 was
$62,732. Besides this, a special appropriation of $29,524 was provided
for playgroimd 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 encovu-ages the establishing of Independent Industrial Schools,
allowing financial aid for their maintenance proportionate to the amount
raised by local taxation and expended for aU pubhc schools. Under this
arrangement, the School Committee is reimbursed by the State to the
extent of one haK the net maintenance cost of such industrial schools
established 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
imder 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 1917-18 the amount received from the State
for this purpose was $74,819.

DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 147
The term is forty days, morning sessions only, and the registration of pupils
in 1917 was 5,002, or 4,705 in the elementary schools and 297 in the high
school. Of the elementary school pupils 71.16 per cent won promotion
in 1917.
trSE 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-
tions and individuals for social, recreative and civic purposes such as
may be of benefit to the commimity, 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
1917-18 amounted to $35,537. This plan was started by estabhshing
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, which engage the services of 86
•paid leaders and other workers, also many volunteer assistants. 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. Widening interest in the centers has extended their activities
to one or more afternoons each week. Persons attending the various meet-
ings and entertainments in nine months ending June 30, 1917, numbered
301,257. 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 121 schoolhouses are used by the Election Department
as polhng places.
PENSION 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 supervising staff
of the public 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 pubhc day schools for a period
of 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 proportionally
less. The School Committee were authorized to provide for these pensions
by appropriating annually an amount equal to five cents on each $1,000
of the City's assessed valuation. This allowance was increased by Chap .
148
MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
304, Special Acts of 1915, to seven cents on each $1,000. The Perma-
nent School Pension Fund amounted to $288,900, February 1, 1918, and
313 retired teachers were receiving pensions therefrom.
The Boston Teachers' Retirement Fund Association, started in 1900,
is paying $120 per year to 284 annuitants, and the total amount of its fund
on February 1, 1918, was $532,860. At that date 2,884 teachers were each
contributing $18 per year to this fund.

Stat. 1912, Chap. 582; Stat. 1914, Chap. 786; Stat. 1915, Chap.
333 (Special).]
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, 1905.1
The Commission's order, filed in the Registry of Deeds in 1904, was to
continue in force until 1919, but in 1915 conditions called for an extension
of District A boundaries and this was provided for by chapter 333, Special

Acts of 1915. A new commission was thereby constituted, consisting
of the Chairman of the City Planning Board, the Fire Commissioner and
the Building Commissioner, who filed their order in the Registry of Deeds
on November 2, 1916, to remain in force for ten years, and superseding
the order of 1904 as to the boundaries of Districts A and B. [See Docu-

Wherever a boundary Une of District A is described as following a cer-
tain street,, the same is intended to include all property on that side of the
street which lies within the described area, and also that portion of all
lots on the opposite side of the street, abutting on the street, but extending
to a depth of not more than 150 feet.
District B comprises aU territory in the City outside the boundaries
above described. 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 aU streets or portions of streets upon which buildings may be erected
on one side only, the bmldings may be erected to a height of 100 feet. No
bmlding 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 by Beacon, Joy, Myrtle 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 Arts High School
any building or buildings thereon may be erected to a height of 100 feet.
No building can be erected on a parkway, boulevard or pubhc way
on which a building line has been estabhshed 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.
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.
No limitation of the height of buildings appKes to churches, steeples,
towers, domes, cupolas, belfries or statuary not used' for purposes of
habitation, nor to chimneys, gas holders, coal or grain elevators, open
balustrades, skyUghts, ventilators, flagstaffs, railings, weather vanes, soil
pipes, steam exhausts, signs, roof houses not exceeding 12 feet square

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 aggrieved 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 untU 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 boimdaries 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
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 imtil 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 w^ards, 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 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.
Acting vmder the authority of Chapter 630, Acts of 1914,* the City
Council redivided the territory of the City, establishing the boundaries
of 26 wards as below.

allow." The number of wards is 26, the same as before, while the precincts
number two less than before. For description of the boundary of each new
ward and precinct, see preceding pages, viz., 179 lo 233. The comparison

STATISTICS
OF
Population and Area.
250 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
Enumerated Population of Boston,
APRIL 1, 1915,
745,439.
ESTIMATED POPULATION, JULY 1, 1918,
787,097.*
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 estabUshed 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 \mchanged. 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 252
and 253. On page 254 are shown, by wards, the native-born (by states)
and the foreign-born; on page 255 the foreign-born with country of birth
and on page 256 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.
* Net increase of population, 1,100+ per month from Augxist 1, 1918, based upon actual
rate from U. S. Census of April 15, 1910, to State Census of April 1, 1915.

Note. — The law pertaining to the registration of minors of school age annually on
April 1 (i. e., Chapter 102, General Acts of 1916), was substituted for that concerning the
annual school census in September (i. e.. Chapter 43, Revised Laws, as amended by Chapter
443, Acts of 1914).
* Of this number, 5,586 persons are employed in conformance with employment certif-
icates issued by the School Committee, being compelled by law (Chapter 805, Acts of
1913) to attend Continuation School at least four hours (daytime) each school week,
unless otherwise receiving instruction approved by the said Committee.

Note.- — • In accordance with chapter 279, Acts of 1903, amended by chapter 291, Acts
of 1906, all male residents 20 years of age or more have been listed by the police annually on
May 1. This date was changed 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 Boston in 1916, 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, 1918.
Total assessed valuation as of April 1, 1918, $1,498,216,298, or
$1,313,547,600 real estate and $184,668,698 personal.
Total tax rate, $21.20 per $1,000 of valuation, or $3.50 more than in
1917, divided thus: City tax, $16.85 ($4.48 of this for schools); County
tax, $1.36; State tax, $2.99. Total tax warrant, $35,317,030.33, or
$28,176,252.21 City tax; $2,231,308.29 County tax and $4,909,469.83
State tax and Metropolitan assessments; Poll tax, $444,532, or $2 each on
222,266 polls.
The real estate valuation shows a gain of $8,926,800 over the 1917
total; the personalty a gain of $22,123,355. The decrease in personalty
valuation and tax since 1916 (as explained below) is offset by the State's
distribution of the taxes collected on incomes from intangible property.
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 6 per cent per year on income
derived from such intangibles, subject to various specified exemptions.
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 was provided that on or before Nov. 15 the
State Treasurer should 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 should exceed
the amount required for such distribution, the excess was to be distributed
in proportion to the State tax imposed on each city or town. The amount
of income taxes payable to the City of Boston under said statute in 1918 is
$4,127,874, or $423,019 more than in 1917.
TAX LIMIT RAISED FOR YEAR 19l8.
In response to the petition of the Mayor, the tax limit of $6.52
on each $1,000 of valuation for general City purposes was raised
to $9.52 by authority of Chap. 120, Special Acts of 1918, applying only

receiving pensions are the police (since 1878), firemen (since 1880), school
teachers (since 1908), judges, prison oflBcers, Civil War veterans (since

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
Chapter 765, Acts of 1914, provides that the Retirement Board, upon

by the City who, owing to injury, physical incompetency, old age or
infirmity may be incapable of fmrther 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
