OF THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES

OF THE City of Lewiston

FOR THE Fiscal Year Ending Feb. 28 1921

TOGETHER WITH ANNUAL REPORTS AND PAPERS RELATING TO THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY Gentlemen of the City Council: In accordance with the charter, as members elect of the incoming administration, we meet for the purpose of organiza­ tion. It now becomes our duty to formulate a policy for the coming Municipal year. In difference to custom, I wish to review in a general way the situation which confronts us, to make suggestions which occur to me with reference to the existing conditions, and to advise with you as to the best and wisest course to be pursued. Our interests are identical, namely, to ascertain the res­ pective needs of the several departments, and to take care of them so far as the city’s financial condition will permit. Ldt us bear in mind that the city’s affairs should be managed by business methods. We know the temper of the people, and the spirit behind this demand for better things. We were elected upon this platform. The people will be satisfied with nothing less, and in my opinion the man who fails to heed this warning will fall by the wayside, a political suicide. Within the last few years the expenditures of the several departments show a very large increase. This has been out of proportion to the gain in valuation, and retrenchment is now imperative. The cost of living has diminished at least twenty per cent. As a consequence, the price of labor, which enters so largely into the expenses of every department, should decrease in much the same ratio. This increase in expenditure has not been entirely due to war conditions, but largely to unbusinesslike methods in the management of the different departments. The continu­ ance of this course would inevitably result in an empty treasury, and in an impairment of municipal credit. This is shown by the marked difference between the cost and efficien­ cy of service rendered to private enterprises, and of the services rendered to those of a public character. In the employment of labor, a properly managed city, with the certainty of payment, should demand value and efficiency equal to that enjoyed by a private enterprise. The expenditures of this city amount approximately to a million dollars a year, and a substantial percentage of this is dissipated either through lavish expenditure of money, or 4 CITY OF LEWISTON through inefficient service. Even the most cursory examina­ tion of the affairs of the city will demonstrate the truth of this contention. I believe that a businesslike management, such as the people now demand and have a right to expect, will result in saving a very substantial sum of money annually. There should be no difference between the market price of supplies or labor furnished to the city, and the market price of the same when furnished to a private individual or corporation. The heads of departments should be held accountable to a degree commensurate with the importance of their duties, and failure should be charged to the person responsible. This is the way a private concern would handle the situation. Why should not the city pursue the same course? In every business, the market value is the criterion by which to determine the price of commodities or labor. If the purchaser pays the market price he has the legal right to demand is equivalent, whether it be commodities or labor. Men should not be on the pay roll as a political reward, nor for other reasons, unless the service rendered is a just re­ turn for the price paid. No fairminded man will dispute this, and yet such cases are frequent. But you will agree with me that they should not be tolerated. My conception of our duty today, is that we approach the situation with open minds, and that we formulate and carry into effect a well-digested plan for the proper management of the city along business lines so that we may leave its affairs to our successors with every dollar accounted for, and with every department in such condition that no apologies will be due because of inexperience, inefficiency, or needless expendi­ ture. To do this we must begin today to practise intelligent economy. The first step is to exercise business judgment in the selection of subordinates. From the number of applicants, it is apparent that a great many people are willing to parti­ cipate in the management of our city’s affairs. If competent men are selected for tne various positions, on the basis of fitness, and those chosen are held responsible for the proper discharge of their duties, we shall have taken a most import­ ant step toward success. If we fail in this we shall be em­ barrassed throughout the year. We should rid ourselves of the loafer, the dead-head, and above all, the professional poli­ tician. All these belong to the type of undesirable employees. They are all long on talk and short on work. MAYORS ADDRESS 5

During the coming year I trust that nothing will he done which will not bear the closest scrutiny and the fullest publi­ city. Any act of ours which will not bear hones(t criticism by the people and the press, is certain to be fundamentally wrong. I know that you will join in the assurance that we will render all possible assistance in giving every citizen the opportunity to know, through the press, the reason for every official act. Fair and intelligent discussion is the surest guaranty that the rights of all will be protected. Today every one of us represents the whole city, without regard to race, or religion, poverty or wealth, individual or corporation. Our aim is to make Lewiston the busiest and best-governed city in the state. It has a prosperous and law- abiding people. It is well served by railways which radiate in every direction. Through the Chamber of Commerce its commercial interests are united for the promotion of its growth and development. It has a magnificent water power already furnishing energy to many large and prosperous man ufacturing industries, and has a splendid opportunity for its further development, when industrial conditions permit It has the beneficent influence of prosperous churches and ex­ cellent schools. It is the seat of a collegiate institution rank­ ing among those of the highest standing in New England. It has two large hospitals, thoroughly equipped in every detail. And above all, it is a city of homes. All these condi­ tions conspire to make Lewiston the civic and industrial heart of Maine.

ORGANIZATION After the organization of the departments, I would sug­ gest that we investigate the condition and needs of each, and that the recommendations made by the several departments be critically analyzed so that we may determine their needs and intelligently make appropriations therefor. If we make our appropriations in accordance with this plan, and then see to it that they are nojt exceeded without imperative necessity, or in case of emergency, we shall have merited the approbation of every good citizen. In the determination of these matters, a competent audi­ tor, who will so perform his duties that every member of this Board can know the condition of each department, would be of inestimable value; and further, it would operate as a deterrant to the useless expenditure of money, whether it is to be made by this Board or by a Commission, 6 CITY OF LEWISTON

This can be accomplished. The method can be tried, and if successful, will be followed by future governments to the substantial benefit of the city. This recommendation is ten­ tative only; but it seems to be practical and businesslike, and I trust tiiat this course wTill be pursued if, after a full discus­ sion of its merits, it shall be deemed advisable by the members of this Board. FINANCES The valuation of the city of Lewiston in 1920, was $25,- 885,522; the funded debt; March 1, 1921, was $975,500; and the floating debt was approximately $270,000. This makes the total bonded and floating debt, $1,245,500. The constitutional limitation of indebtedness, applicable to this city, is as follows: “No city or town having less than forty thousand inhabitants, according to the last census taken by the United States, shall hereafter create any debt or lia­ bility which, singly or in the aggregate, with pre­ vious debts or liabilties, shall exceed five per cen­ tum of the last regular valuation of said city or town.59 The city’s constitutional debt limit is, therefore, $1,294,276, and if this floating debt is bonded the whole debt will then be within the constitutional limit. The expen­ ditures, year by year, should not exceed the limit fixed law, that the floating indebtedness of a municipality shall be taken care of by the taxes collected for the current year. There is an added reason why, in the future, the finances of the city should be placed upon a sound basis. This should be done with the ultimate end in view, of the gradual reduc­ tion of the bonded indebtedness and the establishment of a sinking fund to meet the requirements of law. I am informed that there is a bill now pending before the legislature for authority to fund the floajting debt. This should be done, because it then places the debt where it is not subject to the fluctuations of the money market, which for a considerable period of time, has been abnormally high, rang­ ing from seven to ten per cent on call money in financial cen­ ters. This makes it difficult for the treasurer to be prepared at all times for the disbursements necessary to the manage­ ment of the city finances. I am informed that the treasurer has experienced some little difficulty in nego iating temporary loans. This has been through no fault of his; but, while the MAYORS ADDRESS 7 local banks have been liberal with the city, its demands for money have been so great that it has been difficult for local banks to meet its requirements, and so, at times, the treasurer has been compelled to seek credit elsewhere. During the year just past there has been expended ap­ proximately a million dollars. This was about twenty per cent, more than the expenditures of the preceding municipal year. In a general way, about one-third of the money ex­ pended was for labor. For example, the Public Works Com­ mission expended a total of $187,000; about $110,000 of this was for labor, largely at the rate of four dollars per day. This was not the fault of the superintendent, who I am in­ formed, is a competent and efficient road builder. He does not fix the price of labor, nor select the places where road construction is to be done, nor the amount of money to be expended thereon. This is the duty of the Public Works Commission. It is unfair to the superintendent to compel him to hire labor at prices nearly double those paid by indivi­ duals or corporations in this locality, and then to require him to make a creditable showing. This is a matter for careful consideration by the Commission. They are responsible for this condition. Is it not an opportune time to change this method, which is depleting the finances of the city and disorganizing the efficiency of the department? The results are not commen­ surate with the money expended. Why not pay the laborers of the city according to the value of their services. If a man is worth four dollars per day, pay him four dollars; but if he is worth two dollars per day. pay him two dollars. Why not graduate the pay in accordance with the value of the ser­ vices rendered? Why should the city pay four dollars per day for common labor, when the same service is procured by private individuals or corporations in this vicinity at three dollars per day? Why not permit the superintendent to hire the help in the same way as is d( le by every business con­ cern, and then hold him responsible for results? I feel sure that the man at the head of the department, if given the op­ portunity to select the labor and fix the price, would add very much to the value of his services as manager of the street de­ partment. It seems, from the best information obtainable, that labor is plentiful, and men now seeking these jobs regard them as largely due to a political “pull.” I am not criticising the members of the Public Works Commission, but I am criticising the methods pursued, be- 8 CITY OF LEWISTON , γ cause they are disastrous to efficiency and barren of results. Bear in mind that $187,000, expenditures in one department, is a very large sum of money for a city of the size of Lewiston to spend annually, and that $110,000 of this is pay roll, with a minimum price of four dollars per day. The entire system is wrong. There are members of the Public Works Commission, who are men of integrity, of excellent standing, and of wide busi­ ness experience. These men are endeavoring to administer its affairs in a business way, but they are in the minority. There are others of the Commission who are not guarding the city’s interests, but who measure their duty by the standard of petty politics. This is largely where the trouble comes. It is not along the lines promised, nor what the citizens expect. This will not give an efficient management to this department. There is a harvest of dead-wood which will have to be removed before this department is on such a plane of efficiency as the citizens of every party demand. If you do not exercise wise, careful and intelligent judgment in the selection of the appli­ cants to the various positions, you will have violated the con­ fidence reposed in you in this election. FIRE DEPARTMENT This department expended approximately $59,000, the past year. Twenty years ago it was about $16,000. There would be a natural increase in the expenses because the city has grown, thus enlarging the territory and property to be covered. The actual market value of labor has increased since those days when the firemen were not properly paid for the responsibility and danger they assumed. The cost of running the department has not changed materially, because of the number or the amount paid to the men, but it comes from other sources and needs investigation. There must be a laxity in these expenditures somewhere—but where? The addition to the Ash Street engine house has already cost more than $38,000, and this sum is not included in the expenses of the department. What has the city to show for this expenditure? It has four brick walls, and that is about all. There should not be another dollar expended, nor an­ other day’s work done on this building until the contract is examined, the work done inspected, the work remaining for its completion estimated, the bills audited, whether paid or unpaid, and then reported for further consideration, to this Board for such action as may be deemed wise. This board can control tire amount of expenditure and the Mayor signs MAYORS ADDRESS 9 the warrants before the treasurer pays. It is time to call a halt and ascertain the true condition of things, so far as this building is concerned. It is fairly certain that this building is in the wrong lo­ cation, and that putting money into it is like dropping it into a well; the result is the same, the money is gone. The conditions surrounding the construction of this building de­ mand thorough and searching investigation. We owe this to ourselves and to the tax-payers of the city, because there seems to be a very large outlay of money with no adequate return. I have nothing but praise for the personnel of the men of this department. They are brave, and competent and per­ form their duties regardless of danger. The fire loss has been light for many years. I presume this is largely due to the skill and ability of the late Chief Moriarty and to the com­ petent way in which he handled fires and the men in his de­ partment. Sooner or later we will be compelled to pay the penalty for the non-enforcement of the ordinance providing for restrictions in the erection of wooden buildings. This ordinance is ample for the protection of the city and should be enforced without fear or favor. Its proper enforcement is in a measure important to every citizen and property owner who pays a higher insurance rate because of its non-enforce­ ment, and as a contiguous owner is subject to a greater hazard from fire loss. My attention has been called to the fact that inspection of electric wiring in the city has been neglected. This should receive the attention which its importance demands. It has been suggested, and without doubt the suggestion is a good one, that this matter should be placed in charge of the super­ intendent of fire alarms. I am informed that it was former­ ly under his jurisdiction. I need not urge upon you that this is a very important matter, because of increase of the fire hazard to property and because of the danger to persons from contact with the wires. This should be investigated and reme­ died if found to be wrong.

WATER BOARD I have been informed that the water rates are not collected promptly. This should not be, because the water is furnished, as a rule, to property owners and they are responsible for pay­ ment. It has also been intimated that there is an excess of labor on the pay rolh This matter should be investigated, in 10 CITY OF LEWISTON I j — , - - · -;· / -, ,

I , · » . · ■ order to find out whether the department is being conducted in a business way or at a loss. If properly managed, there should be a substantial profit for the City. This is no time for the employment of unnecessary men in any department. If such is the case these men should be discharged. The city treasury should not be the distributor of charity, because charity is supposed to be given to deserv­ ing persons in need, and not in payment of political obliga­ tions. It is rumored that the Water Board is about to enter into a contract with the town of Lisbon to furnish water for do­ mestic and fire purposes. Before such a contract is entered „ into there should be a careful investigation of the agreement between the Union Water Power Company and the City relative to the amount of water to which the City is entitled. Great care should be exercised that no arrangement shall be made by the City for the sale of water for domestic and fire pur­ poses which shall be contrary to the existing agreement be­ tween the City and the Water Power Company. The consump­ tion of water has been increasing from year to year, and no action of the City should be taken which would jeopardize its rights to its present supply or the right to the future supply as the city grows in population and demands an increased quan­ tity of water for its own consumption. So I suggest to the Water Board that before taking any definite action, the matter be investigated carefully, and if an arrangement is made, that it should be done with the greatest caution so as to protect the city’s right to its present and future use of the water. I feel, as do other citizens of Lewiston, that this is a year when economy should be practised. I feel that the Water Board should be self supporting, and that there is no .reason why the number of men employed should be double that of a few years ago. The expense of this department is approxi­ mately $500 a week, which is far in excess of its actual needs If these things are true, the Water Board should be reorganized on the basis of economical administration of its affairs, so that it shall be a benefit instead of a burden to the city. It would be interesting for the Water Board to explain why more than $5500, was paid to one concern from March 1920, to December 1st., why more than $3500 was paid to the same concern in December 1920; and further who furnished the material for which these sums were paid. This informa­ tion is due the tax payers of the city of Lewisoton. MAYORS ADDRESS l i ιί : ti !! ' i j ; . · ; i Contracts with the City In the case of Lesieur v. Inhabitants of Rumford, 113 Me. 317, at page 322, the Court said: “It is the policy of the state that persons, whom the law has placed in positions where they may make, or be instrument­ al in making, or in superintending the performance of, con­ tracts in which others are interested, should not themselves be personally interested in such contracts.” In the case of Bangor v. Ridley, 117 Me., 397, such a con­ tract is declared to be void, and the Court held that the money so paid could be recovered back. I wish to make the situation plain so that there may be no need of further warning. The law applies to all contracts, direct or indirect, between officials and the city; and it ap­ plies equally to members of commissions and boards created for the management of a city. Chap. 4, sec. 43 of the Revised Statutes of the State of Maine, provides that “No member of a city government shall be interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract entered into by such government while he is a member thereof; and contracts made in violation hereof are void.” Such is the statute law of this State, and it is correct in principle. It is based upon the broad ground that a person who is both the purchaser and the seller cannot act honestly and impartially. The law prohibits this. It is a wise provi­ sion, and you will note that the statute says that such contracts are void. The personnel of the Water Board is largely of men deal­ ing in merchandise of the same general character as that re­ quired in this department. On its face it might seem that this would be of benefit to the city, because it would have the advantage of their knowledge and experiences but it presents a different aspect when it appears that practically all of them, prior to the past year, were directly making large and frequent sales of such merchandise to the city, in flagrant and direct vio­ lation of law. There is a suspicion that, during the past year, the same has been done indirectly through the medium of other parties. If this be proven, upon investigation, the Water Board will not be a healthy or happy resort for those civilly or criminally liable. These contracts are void. They cannot be enforced by either party. Even if paid, the money can be recovered by the city on suit. If not paid, upon suit, the city has a perfect defense against payment. This applies to mer­ chandise or personal sendees furnished, directly or indirectly, to the city. The intervention of a third party does not abrogate 13 CITY OF LEWISTON the civil or criminal liability. This same legal liability ap­ plies to every department of the city, and if these plain pro­ visions of law are violated during the coming year the law will take its course. This flagrant disregard of law by officials of the city must end here and now, or it will become necessary to prose­ cute such violators and thus teach them the salutary lesson that the law cannot be evaded without punishment. This is not a threat, but a warning, and one which it will be well to heed. , ; ι ,Φ i •J _ ‘-i 1 J t'À I APPROPRIATIONS The revised ordinances of the city of Lewiston, properly approved by a Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, as pro­ vided by law. Chap, 18. sec. 6, provides that “no draft shall be drawn upon the treasurer against any particular fund, or chargeable to any particular head or appropriation, for more than the balance remaining to the credit of such fund or ap­ propriation. And in case any fund or appropriation be ex­ hausted, the committee on accounts are not to pass or vouch any bills payable from or chargeable to such fund or appro­ priation, until the means of paying the same be provided by the City Council. This is a wise provision. It is intended to prohibit the payment of moneys from the treasury after an appropriation has been exhausted and prohibits their payment until “the I call your attention specifically to these because they are to govern your action, through the year, and I trust that it will serve two purposes/5 namely, first, the exercise of sound judgment in your appropriations, and second, careful expen­ diture after the appropriations have been made. It is important that every department should be properly managed. Some have been well conducted, as the results show, and in these we should be slow to make a change. It is the system which we criticise, and the difficulty in locating responsibility. As you know, the Mayor is the one who is the target for criticism, but his authority is largely advisory as the responsible head. This responsibility, with your assist­ ance, I assume, believing that success is possible, and that if we work together it will be attained.

I have endeavored to direct your* attention to a few of the many problems which will engage your attention during the coming year. The reasons for the large increase in the de­ partmental expenses have begun to disappear. This increase in many of the departments has not been in wages, but on ac­ count of the increased number of employees. Every business concern recognizes that the present is a time for retrenchment and economy. Notwithstanding the cost of living is on the decline, the prices paid for labor remain the same. The era of high cost of living is passing, and there is every indication that this decline will continue, but it has not yet reached any of the departments of the city. They are still at the peak of the load. In addition to the excessive expenditures of money, there are the fire police, who are not necessary because the regular police can handle this work. These cost the city more than two hundred dollars per year. This is simply a political job. The work of the dog officers could be as well handled by the police department as by special officers, at a saving of nearly eight hundred dollars per year. At the pumping station there are three shifts, where two could perform the work as well as now, at a saving of a con­ siderable sum daily. These are all matters for investigation and consideration at a later time. I believe it to be true that Lewiston has suffered less from the readjustment which has been taking place, than most other municipalities. The reasons for this are obvious. Our man­ ufacturing and commercial interests have been prosperous; our people are workers and savers, and so were better pre­ pared than many others, to meet the conditions calling for economy and retrenchment. You and I have faith in the future of Lewiston. We have confidence in each other. We feel that each one of us will use his bes't efforts to meet the situation fairly and intelligently. I shall rely upon you for counsel and assistance, and in return I promise to use every effort to give this city an honest, faith­ ful and energetic administration. In closing I wish to thank the outgoing Mayor and the departments for the courtesies extended to us before and since election. WM. H. NEWELL, Mayor. Treasurers Report

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS To the Honorable Board of Public Works of Lewiston. Gentlemen:—I herewith most respectfully submit my an­ nual report as Superintendent to your Honorable Board for the year ending February 15, 1921. The following are the expenditures of the department for the year: 20 CITY OF LEWISTON

New Streets and Bridges 5,000.00 Sewers 20,120.00 Permanent Streets 40,186.75 Permanent Walks 5,000.00 Highways $108,888.54 State Aid Road 4,256.44 Street Sprinkling 4,000.00

$187,451.73

The following are the amounts whicn I think will be ne­ cessary for defraying the expenses in the several divisions of the department for the coming year. Highway $90,000.00 Sewers 15,000.00 Permanent Streets 24,000.00 New Streets and Bridges $5,000.00 State Aid Road Street Sprinkling $4,000.00

$143,000.00

HIGHWAYS Owing to the great expense of handling the large amount of snow at the beginning of the year the appropriation for highways was very much exhausted. Consequently not as much work was done in this division as should have been, although we have endeavored to keep the streets and roads in good condition.

SEWERS Quite a large amount of work has been done in this livi- sion during the year. The following pipe has been laid on the several streets: 1250 feet of 12 inch and 15 inch pipe was laid on College St.; 525 feet of 10 inch pipe was laid on Russell S.reet, (west) ; 185 feet of 10 inch pipe was laid on Russell Street, (East) ; 250 feet of 12 inch pipe was laid on East Ave., 625 feet of 10 inch pipe was laid on Highland Ave., 1050 feet of 12 inch pipe was laid on Warren Ave., 725 feet of 10 inch pipe was laid on Plomefield St., 200 feet of 8 inch pipe was laid on Bardwell St., 620 feet of 12 inch pipe was laid on Androscog­ gin Ave. Several catch basins and manholes and small extensions have been constructed during the year. PUBLIC WORKS 21

— "* ~ ~ jir · · . ■* . f PERMANENT STREETS The following bituminous macadam has been laid during the year: 4768 square yards on Sabattus St., 2735 square yards on Ba'es St,, 1750 square yards on Spruce St., 1750 square yards on Birch St., 7400 square yards on Lisbon Road (State Aid Road). The followingO macadam has been recoated: 1889 square yards on Pine St., 900 square yards on Park St., 933 square yards on Middle St., 1100 square yards on Sabattus St., 4334 square yards on Main St., 2800 square yards on Main St., (upper), 500 square yards on Ash St. 1-1 . · PERMANENT WALKS A small amount of work was done in this division during the year as it was impossible to secure help for that kind of work. Some new curbing was set and quite a large amount of old curbing reset. 1 hope to see more done in the line of permanent walks the coming year.

NEW STREETS AND BRIDGES The usual amount of repairing of bridges was done dur­ ing the year. The North Bridge and the South Bridge should be paint­ ed and repaired the coming year. The Main St. Canal Bridge should receive attention this year. The country bridges are in very good condition.

RECOMMENDATIONS In closing this report I would recommend the following which I think would be for the improvement of the depart­ ment and city as well. We have four or five horses which should be exchanged at once as they have about outlived their usefulness. I would also recommend the purchase of a street sweeper, also a two horse street sprinkler, as we have a large amount of paving we are short of apparatus to properly do the work. In closing this report I wish to extend thanks to His Honor Mayor Lemaire and the members of the Board of Public Works for advise and assistance given during the year. Respectfully submitted, A. G. ROY, Supt. Lewiston, March 19, 1921.

REPORT OF 8UPT. OF WATER WORKS To The Honorable Board of Water Commissioners: Gentlemen: I have the honor to present to you my report as Superin­ tendent for the fiscal year ending February 28th.. 1921, this being the 41st. annual report. CONSTRUCTION Twelve extensions of the mains were made this year: Androscoggin, Hall and Coburn streets, 720 feet of 6 in. pipe. Oxford street. 300 ft. of 6 in. pipe. Ash street, 540 ft. of 8 in. pipe. Bardwell street, 120 ft. of 6 in. pipe. Farwell street, 185 ft. 2 in. Galv. pipe. Dale street, 170 ft. 1 1-2 inch Byers Galv. pipe. Pearl street, 352 ft. 1 in Byers Galv. pipe. Dow street, 491 ft. 1 in. Byers Galv. pipe. Googin street. 452 ft. 1 in. Byers Galv. pipe. South avenue, 245 ft. 1 in. Byers Galv. pipe. Webber avenue. 366 ft. 1 in. Byers Galv. pipe. Prescott street, 200 ft. 1 in. Bvers pipe. NEW SERVICES AND RELAYS There has been seventy-eight New Services laid this year; forty-eight Relay services and sixty services were cleaned. Also five relays of the main, as follows: Grandi Trunk Ynrd, 57 ft. 1 1-2 in, Galv. pipe. WATER WORKS 27

Jones Court, 160 ft. 1 1-2 in. Galv. pipe. Webster street. 72 ft. 1 in Galv. and 32 ft. 1 in Lead Lined Pipe. Willow street, 95 ft. of 1 in. Galv. pipe. Sabattus street, 48 ft. 1 in. Lead Lined Pipe. WHEELS The Water Wheels were inspected as usual this fall and found in good condition, except one of the shafts which should be repaired soon in order to avert future trouble. PUMPS At the present time the pumps are all in perfect order. Last June 1920, the elbow at the top of the Dean Pump burst and a new casting had to be made at the factory and was brought here by auto truck from Holyoke, Mass., thus saving time on transportation. In less than a month the pump was working again. HYDRANTS Repaired one hydrant The hydrants were attended to very closely during the winter months to prevent them from being found frozen in case of a fire, and to insure their good working order. Three new hydrants were installed this year. There are now 267 hydrants in service throughout the city. VALVES. Two 16 in. Gate Valve were installed on Lisbon street un­ der pressure. The work was done by the A. P. Smith Manu­ facturing Co., of East Orange, N. J. As I have said in my recommendations of last year, the riprapping of r!he reservoir is loose in a number of places and further delay in repairing it would mean a bigger expense and possibly a great deal of trouble in the future. By putting the riprapping into place again and by placing a strip of con­ crete grouting about ten feet wide around the top would save the sand from being washed out of the riprapping in the sum­ mer and would serve as a preventative from ice forming on the sides in the winter. The present reservoir is over-taxed and a new one must be built. The ever increasing population with the possibility of Lisbon being connected with us means a greater burden on the present one which, as I said before, is top small capacity for present requirement* 28 CITY OF LEWISTON

The 24 in. Automatic Valve at the station is in poor con­ dition and beyond repairs. A new one will have to be in­ stalled. I would recommend that a new 24 in. Gate Valve be installed at a point on the intake near the Auburn Poor Farm. I would reccommend that the Mains of Lewiston and Auburn be connected near the so-called Stone Bridge in Au­ burn. Should any trouble occur above this point the water supply of either city would not be cut off. With thanks to the Presiden and Clerk of the Water Board and the members of the Board of Water Commissioners, for their courtesy, this report is respectfully submitted. LOUIS TRIAL. Supt. t

The organization of a Health Department was immediate­ ly star:ed. With the co-operation of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, all the municipal departments and the citizens, the result proved to be very satisfactory. On April 1st. the Health Officer appointed Miss Lemaire as clerk and stenographer, A. B. Andrews as milk inspector, Fred Hayes as plumbing inspector, and F. Bagasse as fumiga- tor. During the year a Venereal Clinic was established under the direction of Dr. Scannell, where the unfortunates who are affected with venereal diseases and are unable to pay to receive treatment. A laboratory was equipped at the cost of $846.23. Phy­ sicians can send specimens for examination and returns are made within a few hours by telephone and later by mail. Outfits for the collection of these specimens are supplied by the Department. Since August 1920, 136 specimens were examined. During the year the plumbing regulations were revised. The inspector has made many inspections of new and old work in public buildings, stores and private dwellings. His judg­ ment in the matter of establishing or remodeling drainage sys­ tems has been frequently sought, and wrh much benefit to the parties and protection to the public. The plumbing in­ spector reports the following work: Total number of application permits 241 New houses 59 Old houses 85 Defective plumbing 97 Total visits during the year 723 The milk inspector has analyzed 311 samples of milk, an average of 44 a month; fifteen were found below standard. The dealers were notified that they would be prosecuted on the next offense. Eight restaurant proprietors who were selling skimmed milk were cited to hearing and fined ten dollars each. Regular inspections of dairy-farms are made in order to see that milk is handled under sanitary conditions and surroundings* HEALTH DEPARTMENT 39

Inspections are also made in restaurants, grocery stores, fruit stores, confectionery stores, bakeries, dance halls and club houses, hotels, mills and shops, theatres, slaughter houses, etc., where orders are given to comply to sanitary regulations. During the year, by-laws were adopted pertaining io foodstuffs, garbage, nuisances, ice cream parlors and barber shops, and the plumbing regulations were revised. The sanitary condition of the city has vastly improved during the past year, but an immense amount of work remains to be done. Subsequent health departments will find these matters far more easily dealt with han formerly, for the light has gone forth and public opinion has changed from active opposition to hearty co-operation with he sanitary authorities. The ma­ jority of the people now appreciate the necessity for reform in sanitary matters, and approdate equally the powers vested by law in Health Departments. The financial statement of the health department for years 1920-1921 is as follows: Appropriation $7,500.00 Receipts : Refunded for a State case 200.93 Refunded (overcharged) 45.43

$7,746.36 Expenditures Salaries $5,021.50 Office expense 21.69 Drugs and disinfectants 857.93 Laboratory equipment 846.23 Auto hire 12.50 Auto maintenance 62.72 Printing and advertising 150.70 Telephone 80.20 Groceries 231.95 Board and rooms 212.90 Postage and card notices 36.75 Express 24.87 Milk samples 20.48 Fuel 8.63 Miscellaneous 86.83

N 1483 The miscellaneous work of the department is as follows: 447 lodgers registered, doors found open 186, auto accidents 68, stores and houses broken into 63, children lost and found 30, windows found open 29, street lights reported out 26, per­ sons found ill on the street 24, dogs shot 23, fires discovered 16, holes in sidewalk or street reported 11, runaway or stray horses found 7, broken water pipes discovered 7, horses shot 3. Value of lost or stolen property recovered $5077.48. EXPENSE The expense for the period March 1, 1920 to February 28, 1921, is $62,518.33. The per capita expense is $1.96, which compared with the expense of the larger departments is a very favorable showing. Reports show the per capita cost of the Boston, Mass., department to be $4.93, Detroit, Mich., $4.34, New York City $4.00, Chicago, 111., $3.85 and of Portland, Maine, $3.16. MOTOR EQUIPMENT Consists of one Cadillac Patrol, this car was thoroughly repaired in July 1920 and is now in fair condition. A Dodge touring car purchased in March 1920, this car is used for gen­ 44 CITY OF LEWISTON eral Police work, errands, investigation of Police cases, trans­ portation of insane patients to Augusta. Mileage for year 8,282. In June 1920 an Indian Motor-cycle was purchased, this machine is used for general traffic work especially in the suppression of speeding. In spite of the great increase in the number of autos owned in the city, I believe that the traffic conditions are better controlled than ever before. SIGNAL SYSTEM The Gamewell Signal System installed in July 1919, is in excellent condition. In April 1920 an Audible signal was installed at the corner of Main and Lisbon streets, this signal has been of material assistance to die department in establish­ ing almost instant communication with the Traffic Officer and the officers of the adjacent beats. During the period, March 1, 1920 to February 28, 1921, calls registered were as follows: Duty calls 107,161, system telephone calls (record of of­ ficial calls only) 1023, wagon calls 767, New England tele­ phone calls 14,247. CITY PRISON During the past year the cell room has been thoroughly cleansed by scrubbing and burning, has been disinfected and whitewashed. The prison room is now being disinfected weekly and is kept in clean condition at all times. TARGET PRACTICE During the past year the department expended one thous­ and rounds of ammunition in pistol practice using the Savage Automatic Pistol, Gal. 88, this pistol has not proven reliable in practice, they jam very often rendering the weapon useless until jam is relieved. I am convinced that the automatic pistol is not practical for police officers, I have been informed that the use of the automatic has been discontinued in the U. S. Army. I believe that the revolver is a more practical arm for police use, while it may be slower in operation, it never jams and is dependable in'an emergency. RECOMMENDATION The purchase of a motor-cycle and side-car to be used in Patrol work on the three residential beats. The purchase of 28 Police Positive Revolvers to replace the Automatics now in use, also five thousand cartridges for same. The purchase of one audible signal to be installed at the corner of Chestnut and Lincoln streets,, POLICE DEPARTMENT 45

The purchase of two Police boxes to be installed at the Fairgrounds and at the corner of Birch and Bartlett streets. The purchase of one filing cabinet to be used for filing criminal cases which are to be tried in the Superior Court. Respectfully submitted, Arthur H. Field, Chief of Police.

March 5, 1921. To the Police Commissioners of the City of Lewiston, Gentlemen :— I have the honor to submit my report as Police Matron for the year ending February 28, 1921. I have been in my office daily from 8 A. M. to 12 M., also many afternoons, evenings and Sundays by appointments. I have cared for all girls and Yeomen in the custody of the Police and appeared with them in the Municipal Court room. I have attended eight girls to the Women’s Reformatory at Skowhegan, two girls to the State School at Hallowell, se­ cured admittance for one girl in the Portland temporary home, one girl to the Home of the Good Shepard in Boston, several girls and women to the State Hospital ait Augusta, also taken two young girls from home surroundings that menaced 'their health and morals and gained their parents consent to their being given into the custody of the State Board of Children’s Guardians. During the year I have made a great many hundrers of calls on parents, children, and young people in their homes, boarding houses and rooming places, have visited dance halls, cafes, depots, movies, schools, and many places frequented by women and children, also the county jail when occupied by women. My work has greatly increased during the year, partly due to the scarcity of work, have assisted many in securing work, and good boarding places, also found boarding places for infants and small children. I am called upon often to help adjust family and neigh­ borhood quarrels, many believing it is becter to call on a third party to help straighten affairs than resort to law, often the parties will agree to let by-gones be by-gones, with others the sense of injury is to great to be overlooked. In closing I wish to mention the Mother’s Aid law, I know of no relief work accomplishing the amount of perma­ 46 CITY OF LEWISTON nent good with so small an outlay of money, worthy mothers who in the past have been worried, obliged to leave their children uncared for because they had to be away all day earning food and shelter can now receive Mother’s Aid by proving their ability to care for and train their children in their own home with no loss of self respect, as under the Mothers Aid Law thev are not considered subjects of charity. I wish to thank the many officials and citizens who have so kindly assisted me with their aid and counsel. Respectfully submitted, Caroline Eamen, Police Matron. Lewiston Fire Department

' ; * To the Honorable City Government of the City of Lewiston:— Gentlemen:— As per custom, we present herewith our annual report of the financial standing of the Lewiston Public Library, cover­ ing receipts and expenditures for the year ending February 28, 1921, together with (he report of the Librarian which we also present for the benefit of the public, who is interested in the details of the work pertaining to the same. Libraries are more and better patronized than ever, but as its patrons increase, expenses increase also. It means more books, larger staff, and a demand for a larger appropriation. It is the same of all libraries throughout the country. People are taking m^e and better advantages of libraries, and this shows and proves the necessity and thejmportance of libraries everywhere. Libraries have come to stay and like schools, almost, are very much needed institi! ions, and money spent to keep them on good, progressive footing, to make them “Libraries ’, as it is intended they should be, is money well invested. The people and the public generally take pride in the establishment of “Public Libraries” and nothing should be neglected to make them attractive, interesting and instructive as well—and to such purpose is dedicated “The Library.” In the fulfillment of its mission, no one will find fault at any effort or at any reasonable expense it may cost to give the people the Library they need and want. When the city accepted the “Carnegie Fund” it had to agree to appropriate ten per cent of the amount donated to keep open and maintain the Library. It litde dawned upon the people then that the time would come that ten per cent of the amount so donated would soon be insufficient to carry out the term of our agreement with the donator. But it soon came and the Library needs now dou­ ble the amount originally appropriated to carry on its work. Like any other institution it costs more for fuel, for salaries and for every thing else that goes towards its maintenance. The appropriation for the year ending February 28, 1921 was $7,000.00, the Library received $500.00 from the State; it spent $179.98 for repairs taken out of a balance of the Car­ negie Fund remaining in the hands of the City, of which there is still a small balance; it spent $200.02 out of a Library Fund 72 CITY OF LEWISTON kept for replacement of books, making a total expenditure of $7,880. 00 for the year just ended, leaving an unexpended balance to thè credit of the Library of $96.80. From the above it might be concluded that a similar appropriation might be sufficient for the present year. This should be looked in:o. Money for running expenses is one thing, but there should be sufficient appropriation not only for such expenses, but there should be also enough appropri­ ated for the “upkeep” of the building such as painting and general and ordinary repairs, also for additional clerk, if need be, as time and circumstances may demand. The Library was very fortunate in securing as Librarian the services of Miss Marguerite Chamberlain of Waterville, a graduate of Colby College and of Simmons, who came to us well and highly recommended. , We were able to add this year a large number of books and hope to do so again this year. Along these lines we would appreciate any suggestions from the public or from patrons of the Library and more es­ pecially as to any information pertaining to the selection of good reading material that might be of value to the Library. Within a comparatively short time the Library lost two of its most efficient Trustees. Both Messrs. Pennell and Calla­ han had been on the Board ever since the Library opened its doors to the public. It will not be considered out of the way in this report to say that the Library had no better and no more devoted servants. Of their time and energy they gave gene­ rously to the public and to the Library in particular. Their deeds and services in this behalf ought not to be soon forgotten. Respectfully submitted,

F. X. Belleau T. F. Callahan TRUSTEES A. W. Garcelon OF THE L. Raoul LaFond A. L. Talbot LEWISTON PUBLIC LIBRARY i .. Chas. P. Lemaire LIBRARIANS REPORT

To the Board of Trustees of the Lewiston Publis Library: Gentlemen:—Herewith is presented for your consideration the eighteenth annual report of the Lewiston Public Library, covering the work of the fiscal year ending February 28, 1921. The Library has been open for the circulation of books 302 days during the year. It nas been closed on all legal holidays, on two afternoons early in 1920 during severe storms, and as a mark of respect on the day of the funeral of the late Gov- - ernor Parkhurst. Although the circulation of 52138 is the smallest for twelve years, it has been increasingly larger during the last three months than for the corresponding months of last year, and we hope this indicates a growing interest in and use of the Library. At the same time, the proportion of non-fiction circulated is as large as at any time in the history of the Li­ brary. No doubt the greatest handicap to the Library during the year has been the small number of assistants, and the frequent changes in the staff. After the resignation of Miss Robinson in March, the work was ably carried on by Miss Hertell as acting librarian. Miss Irma Belleau, who had been substitut­ ing for several months, was then made a regular assistant, and the Library was fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. G. A. Duston, who had already had several years of experience in the work. In May Miss Marguerite Chamberlain received the appointment as librarian, and arrived on July 6 to take up her duties. Miss Hertell offered her resignation to take effect Sep­ tember 1, in order to accept a library position at Boston uni­ versity. The extra work was divided among the remaining members of the staff until October, when the assistance of Miss Frances Sheehan was secured for as much time as she could spare from her High School studies. In June Miss Hertell attended the New England Library meeting at the Isles of Shoals, and in July the Simmons Col­ lege Summer Library School. The library was represented by the librarian at the Maine Library Association meeting at Bangor in October. As usual, much reference work has been done, especially with students from the various schools of the city. It was found necessary to reserve, for use in the Library only, books which are in great demand by the debalers of the High School and College. While this lessens the circulation, it greatly 74 CITY OF LEWISTON increases the use made of the books. Books suggested by the English ieacher for book reports have been placed on a spe­ cial shelf in the reference room, where pupils may look them over carefully and make their choice at leisure. Space has also been found in the reference room for books required for papers by club women, who thus find their material at hand ready for use or for careful selection. Much time is spent, too, in helping pupils of all grades to look up special subjects assigned by their teachers. This would require less time of the staff, and be more valuable to the pupils if an up to date reference work suitable for children’s use were available. New books have been added in all classes, the selection conforming as nearly as possible to ihe needs of our patrons. Conditions in the publishing trade make new fiction difficult to secure, and so poor in quality that it wears out very quickly under the intensive use given in a public library; therefore the demand for fiction is not easily satisfied. For the children, new and attractive editions of standard works have been bought, rather than many titles of newer and less worth while books. French books are also difficult to obtain, but we hope to make a substantial addition to our list as soon as possible. The most important addition to the reference room this year is the 1917 edition of the New International Encyclopedia, which is most valuable in answering questions of all kinds. Through the use of inter-library loans, books for the use of our readers have been obtained from the New York State Library, Worcester Free Public Library and Boston Public Library, as well as from our own Maine State Library Com­ mission. It has been customary for several years to have one assist­ ant charging books in the children’s room after three-thirty each day, to maintain comparative order in the room, as well as to relieve the congestion at the charging desk. Our great­ est and most pressing need, however, is to find a suitable per­ son for children’s librarian, one who can take the entire re­ sponsibility of the work with children, learn their needs, be­ come familiar with their books, and teach them to use the books with some degree of care. This would also release the energies of other members of the staff for work that has ne­ cessarily been neglected during the past two years, and would bring the efficiency of the whole library to a much higher level. In order to bring the library before the public, and to make known the kind of books we are adding from month to month, we have sent frequent lists of new non-fiction to the PUBLIO LIBRARY . 75 I/. "· - ■ > ; ' · newspapers, who have kindly published them in iheir columns. This advertising has brought numerous calls for many books which might otherwise have remained unknown. The attrac­ tive jackets of the new books conspicuously posted on the bul­ letin board have called books on many subjects to the at­ tention of patrons who were accustomed to come to the Library for fiction only. In closing, the librarian wishes to express her gratitude to the patrons who have welcomed her so cordially, to the staff for their hearty cooperation in all her efforts for the advance­ ment of the Library, and to the Trustees for their promptness in filling the needs lhat were presented to them. Respectfully submitted, *1 · » MARGUERITE CHAMBERLAIN, Librarian. March 1, 1921.
