Callahan Dies During Tenure of Of- ‘When the common council meets this evening for the final session of the -term ‘and the finishing up of all business the Teport of the safety board for the past year. will be pre- sented. The report as made out by the clerk and: ratifledi by the four members of the board, gives concisely just what has been done by that board anpd makes several important recom- mendations for the coming year. The report, which is herewith given in full, is self explanatory and needs no further introduction: “To the Mavor and Members of the Common Council, City - of New Britain. “Gentlemen: “Pursuant to the provision of the charter, of the city of New Britain, we respectfully submit for your con- sideration a summary of the trans- actions of this board for the vear just cnded, together with the financial statements and the recommendations far the future development of the de- pertments coming under our jurisdic- on. 3 In Memoriam. “Shortly after the opening of the fiscal year, this department and the city of New Britain sustained a loss through the death of Commissioner | Jogeph EL Callahan, then chairman of | this board. He had an enthusiastic interest in the welfare of the fire and ; Police departments during his term of | service from May 20, 1910 to May 18, 1918, and was faithful, zealous and ¢flicient in his endeavors to promote thelr development. He had also | served the city in the fire department f#om 1889 to 1906. l Fire Department. “During the year, the first step towards the motorization of the fire department was taken. Two combina- tion chemical and hose trucks for numbers 1 and 2 stations and a chief’s car were purchased. Their economy 1s apparent. In seven months' service, 1he car at the central station has cost 34862 as against an estimated cost of $234 for the horses in the same period. ‘I he _cost of the No. 2 car was $42.08. The saving to the city was, therefore, $357.40, as well as the value of the sérvices of the drivers. “A pulmotor-equipment for me- chanical artificial respiration and usable in cases of suffocation, as- phyxiation, drowning, etc., was added té the equipment of the fire depart- ment at an expense of $185. This had’not been considered in the mak- ing up of the estimates for the year. “It was necessary to purchase 500 feet' of hose for which no provision had been made in the estimates. “In the fire alarm signal system ménagement, a departure in the raethod of construction work was tried. The line work in connection with the installation of the city’s wire on West Main, East Main and Main streets was done by contract with the Scuthern New England Telephone <company. ‘When Superintendent Cooley submitted his estimates for the ersuing year the board voted to pur- chase 15,000 feet of underground wire and three miles of overhead wiré, which he asked to be provided for in the next year's estimates. This expenditure of about $300 had not been figured on in making up the estimates. Five new fire alarm boxes were purchased and installed. “The appropriation for - the pur- chase of a pair of horses was not used and was returned at the end of the fiscal year. The vear was brought to @ close with a balance of $968.94. In Comparison. . “The last report of the Bureau of ©emmerce and Labor with its com- yarative tables made up for the year 1912 covering expenditures for the preservation of life and property re- | ceivel by this board was supplement- ed with additional information ob- 4ained directly from cities with popu- Jotion from 38,000 to 46,000. “The government reported the per capita cost for the maintenance of the fire_department in this city was 94 cents. Only one city out of twenty- ene showed a smaller per capita ex- | 3 enditure than New Britain. Every city._ but one appropriated more for the maintenance of its fire department than New Britain. The pér capita costs ranged from ninety cents for the pmallest to $8.56. Atlantic City with o department of all permanent or yegular firemen had a fire loss of only 215,604 and reported having 253 fires. Cinly ten cities out of eighty-four in e group with populations from 30,000 1o 50,000 show a smaller per capita than,New Britain and they are cities wijth' smaller population. Twenty appropriated less , but their per capita cost was “New Britain's fire department cost yépresents 9.8 per cent. of the general pense of the city. Sixty-five out of eighty cities allowed larger percentage | or tne general revenue for their de- partments. Of the twenty-one cities from which reports were obtained five, including New Britain, have callmen, Ome city has 2 callmen and the other five so that they might be said to have departments com- posed of permanent men. One of the two citles with a call force like New Britaln reports a fire loss of $158,329, ‘the other with a large call force re- irted a fire loss of $127,042. New tain’s fire loss for 1912 was $46,- Recommendations. wnis Board respectfully, recom- * fhonds that steps Dbe taken at the éarliest momént possible to bring out . complete motorization of fi.?l{mon‘t equipment and the or- of the force with perma- sbnt men—eliminating the call ser- 1“Motorjzation with < entirely new wguipment. will cost approximately $35,000. In'the event of this change ¢ fice—Economically, Past Year’s Work Has Been Decidedly Successful. than New | | Coal and wood ... ! New Equipment we recommend that the horse-drawn apparatus be retained to be used in cases of unusual weather such as was experienced last winter—the like of which was not encountered before in over twenty years. The horses, however, could be sold. With the horse drawn equipment in reserve it would be possible in the short period the heavy snow might remain to bring in horses temporarily. “The complete motorization will save the cost of equipment in about three years through economy as we show below: \ motor cycle was purchased for the police department and through the medium of this equipment it is ex- pected that better patrol service in the outlying section will be obtained and the facility is afforded for quick service on hurry calls, This purchase was not estimated in making up the appropriation for the year. “The department was called upon to patrol the southeastern section of the city, creating an expense therehy which had not been estimated in the appropriation for the year. “Appropriations were made for the purchase of horses for the police patrol and a pen punching register for the police signal system. Neither ! purchase was made and the money is returned to the general treasury. “The estimates for the ensuing year provide for the purchase of a motor police patrol and ambulance to. Te- piace the horse drawn equipment and also to purchase a uniform type of re- volver equipment for the patrolmen, Both matters will receive the immedi- ate attention of this board. ““The appointment of the additional patrolmen on the regular force will be made at an early date.

New Britain’s ladder service with a single ladder company is not ample. The larger aerial would an- swer all central boxes—the city ser- vice truck the outlying boxes. One or the other would be in readiness for alarms when the other was out. ‘“We urge the establishment of the department on a permanent basis. A department with a quota of 56 men would be ample for a city of New Britain's population and practically conforms to the number of men of permanent departments of cities from which reports were obtained. “A tentative estimate of mainten- ance of the fire department on a | basis of a full paid department and complete motor equipment indicates that $62,000 annually would be am- ple. Directory figures and estimates of the post office and police depart- ments give New Britain a population of 53,000, On that basis the fire department per capita cost for a year would be about $1.20—a small sum ' when it is considered that the aver- age per capita cost according to gov- ernment figures for cities of from 30,- 000 to 50,000 population is $1.62. i “As a step towards the carrying' out of this plan we respectfully urge that in the preparation of the esti- mates for 1915-16 that the appro- priation be made ample to provide for the appointment of fifteen per- manent firemen and for the purchase of an aerial ladder truck and motor pumping engine at a cost of $19,000. The necessity of the motor aerial is | great. The present equipment is in- ‘ adequate and unsafe. Fire Prevention. ‘ “Fire preventlon s one of the muni- | cipal problems receiving serious con- sideration at present and during the year there will be inaugerated under the direction of this board a more complete and careful system with this end in view. The preparation of the details is now in progress. Lower Insurance. “This board is thoroughly in accord with the old maxim of ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ yet feels that its citizens are entitled to some benefit from'the expense which the preventa- tiV‘e and protectlve measures involve. ‘Through a reasonable reduction in insurance premiums the cost of these improvements would be readily ob- tained by the property owners and a reduction in insurance might be k- ened to lower taxation. The reduc- tlon which the insurance underwrit- ers.announced a short time ago bene- fits only the small property owners on the outskirts of the city. ‘“The increased efficiency of the de- partment through the ‘always ready to respond’ organization improved equipment and system of fire preven- ' tion is bound to result in lower rates for the property owners in the center of the city. !

In Comparison. “The per capita cost of the police department of New Britain according to the government report of 1911 was seventy cents. The board made an investigation of this matter. The per capita .costs throughout the country in cities of 30,000 to 50,000 ranged from fifty-three cents to $3.19. The local pelice force is inadequate even with the Increases to be provided during the coming year, for a city of this size. The quota of forces for the cities in question range from thirty-three to 110 with an average of fifty-one. Only three places and they have les- ser population than New Britain have smaller forces. The reports show that the local department is not burdened with numerous executive officers. The cities give more seriou: consideration to the importance o the detective service, the average be- ing almost four per city. Recommendations. ‘“We urge the appointment of at least six more patrolmen during the coming ' year, which number will bring the force up to the requirements and thereafter the increases in the force should keep pace with the growth of the city. The accepted basis of police protection is one of- ficer per every thousand of popula- tion. “The financial statement for the year ended shows a balance of $1,- 291.16.
