Fire- Wards'  Report. 


The  fire  engineers,  for  the  town  of  Franklin,  in  1877-8  submit 
the  following  report : 

The  fire  department  consists  of  eight  engineers,  100  engine 
men,  50  to  each  engine,  and  13  liose-men,  running  on  Keurick  ^lose 
('arriage  No.  1. 

The  fire  apparatus  consists  of  Franklin  E^ngine  No.  1,  located 
on  Main  street,  west  side  of  the  river,  with  hose  carriage,  about 
,500  feet  good  2  inch  leather  leading  hose,  pipes,  nozzles,  buckets, 
axes,  and  other  equipments  necessary  for  a  well  organized  engine 
company,  all  in  good  condition  and  ready  for  use ; 

Stark  Engine  No.  8,  located  on  Central  street,  Franklin  Falls, 
with  hose  carriage,  500  feet  of  good  leather  leading  hose,  pipes, 
nozzles,  axes,  buckets  and  otlier  necessary  material  for  a  well  or- 
ganized and  effective  company,  all  in  good  order  and  ready  for 
use ; 

C.  C.  Kenrick  Hose  Carriage  No.  1,  witli  800  feet  new  2  1-2 
inch  leather  leading  hose,  2  play  pipes,  1  branch  connection  with 
reducers  and  enlargers  to  couple  to  two  in  hose,  2  buckets,  1  fire 
axe  and  other  equipments  to  complete  the  outfit  for  a  well  organ- 
ized liose  company. 


21 

This  i.s  a  new  organization.  Tlic  town  at  the  last  annual 
ineetino-  liaving  ''waked  up"  to  the  fact  that  our  tire  apparatus  was 
jiot  sufficient  for  the  demand  made  upon  it,  especially  the  insuffi- 
•cient  quantity  of  liose  and  the  entire  absence  of  hooks  and  ladders, 
very  <>enerously  voted  to  appropriate  $2,500  to  be  expended  for 
tire  apparatus  under  the  direction  of  the  tire  engineers  and  select- 
men. After  repeated  inquiries  your  committee  came  to  the  unani- 
mous conclusion  that  leather  hose  Avas,  all  things  considered,  the 
most  economical  to  purchase.  They  accordingly,  after  getting 
proposals  from  Boyd  &  Sons,  of  Boston,  Josiah  Gates  &  Son,  of 
Lowell,  Darrow  &  Turner,  of  New  York,  Samuel  Greer,  of  Phila- 
deljphia,  Samuel  Eastman  &  Co..  of  Concord  and  J.  II.  Pettengill, 
of  Franklin,  Averc  unanimous  in  awarding  the  contract  to  Sanmel 
Eastman  &  Co..  of  Concord.  The  hose  is  tii-st  class  in  every  re- 
j^ipect  and  fully  warranted. 

After  making  many  inquiries  and  getting  price  lists  from  va- 
rious hose  carriage  makers,  your  coimnittec  sent  an  agent  to  Low- 
ell, Chelsea  and  Chicopee,  Mass.,  to  see  hose  carriages  for  sale  and 
ascertain,  as  far  as  possible,  in  regard  to  the  efficiency  of  the  ex- 
tinguisher hook  and  ladder  truck. 

The  agent  of  the  committee  reported  in  t;ivor  of  buying  a  sec- 
ond hand  carriage,  owned  by  the  city  of  Chelsea,  at  the  price  of 
.$350;  also  in  favor  of  the  '"Champion"  hook  and  ladder  truck. 
It  was  voted  in  committee  to  purchase  the  hook  and  ladder  truck ; 
by  reason  of  the  tax  not  being  collected  it  has  not  been  done,  but 
it  should  be  at  the  earliest  practicable  time,  as  your  committee 
consider  it  one  of  the  most  essential  i^ieces  of  apparatus  that  any 
town  can  own. 

Tlie  small  traps  and  tools  necessary  for  a  hose  company  the 
engineers  have  from  time  to  time  furnished,  so  that  to-day  we 
have  as  good  a  hose  carriage,  hose  and  company  as  any  in  the 
State.  We  are,  however,  hiring  a  place  to  house  it  that  is  no  prop- 
er place,  and  we  recommend  the  town,  as  soon  as  may  be,  to  pro- 
<nire  a  more  fitting  place  with  better  accommodation. 


22 

Rkservoirs. 

The  reservoirs  on  the  east  side  of  the  river  have  kept  full  all 
the  time  during  the  year.  The  reservoir  near  the  bridge  lias  had 
a  Mr  supply,  but  the  reservoir  near  the  depot  for  most  of  the  time 
has  no  supply,  and  the  pi'ospect  of  a  full  supply  from  the  present 
soux-ce  is,  to  speak  as  favorably  as  we  can,  not  very  encouraging. 

Fires. 

Fire  in  dwelling-house  owned  and  occupied  by  T.  D.  Burleigh, 
March  30, 1877.    Loss,  $175.    Cause  unknown.    Insured. 

Fire  in  store  and  dwelling  of  H.  J.  Odell,  May  24,  1877.  Loss

IiECOMMEXDATIOXS. 

^y^i  iTc-ouunciul  on  the  pi-liu-iple  of  kc<>x<jmy  tliat  as  soon  as 
may  be  practicable  the  town  ])urcliase  a  second-chiss  steam  tire 
leugine,  and  citlier  run  our  lumd  engines  Avliolly  by  volunteers,  or 
perhaps  sell  one  of  them.  AVe  estimate  that  the  town  can  and  will 
«ave  $700  per  year  by  the  change.  Enough  may  be  saved  by  the 
arrangement  in  about  five  years  to  pay  for  a  good  steamer,  to  say 
uotMng-  of  the  advantages  of  steam  over  nuiscle.  And  in  this 
place  it  is  proper  to  state  that  the  Winnipiseogee  Paper  Co.,  by  AV. 
F.  Daniell,  has  offered  (in  case  the  town  will  buy  a  steam  fire  en- 
gine) to  house  the  apparatus  and  furnish  team  and  driver  free  of 
charge.  Such  an  offer,  we  think,  ought  to  be  met  in  a  iiroper 
manner  by  other  public-spirited  citizens. 

AA^e  think  the  balance  of  the  appropriation  of  last  year  should 
be  placed  in  the  hands  of  an  ai)propriate  connnittee,  to  invest  in  a 
village  hook  and  ladder  truck,  with  four  or  six  ••Chani])ion''  ex- 
tinguishers attached,  as  Ave  certainly  think  it  one  of  tlie  most  effi- 
cient of  anything  that  has  yet  been  put  in  the  market.  In  the  ear- 
ly stages  of  a  fire  it  can  in  many  cases  be  stopped  by  tJie  use  of  this 
apparatus  before  it  is  possible  to  get  on  a  stream  of  Avater,  being 
always  ready  at  a  moment's  notice  and  throAving  so  small  a  quan- 
tity of  Avater  as  not  to  damage  buildings  or  furniture.  AVith  Avat- 
er  alone  sometimes  more  damage  is  done  by  tlie  Avater  than  by  the 
■fire,  Avhich  by  the  use  of  the  chemical  is  entirely  obviated. 

All  of  Avhich  is  respectfully  submitted.
