ANNUAL REPORT

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

FOR THE

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1942.

Boston, January 2, 1943.

Hon. Maurice J. Tobin, Mayor of Boston.

Dear Mr. Mayor, In compliance with the pro- visions of section 23 of chapter 3 of the Revised Ordi- nances of 1925, I respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Public Works Department for the year ending December 31, 1942.

The total budgetary expenditures of the department for the year were $6,720,489.63 and the total revenue from all sources, exclusive of the Sumner Tunnel and from the sale of water, amounted to $182,195.09. The Sumner Tunnel revenue amounted to $991,155 and the sum of $5,417,183.79 was realized from the sale of water and from other related services and work that is under the jurisdiction of the Water Division.

The surplus in the Water Division totaled $1,305,- 742.15, which is a modern all-time high and exceeds the 1941 surplus by approximately $666,000. Inci- dentallv, the dailv consumption of water increased from an average of 97,767,600 gallons in 1941 to 102,100,500 in 1942, which was probably due, principally, to in- creased industrial activities caused by the current war. The Sumner Tunnel deficit amounted to approximately $264,000, exclusive of the $100,000 subsidy paid out of

2 City Document No. 24.

the State Highway Fund. This deficit is approximately $206,000 in excess of the previous year's deficit and was due, entirely, to the gasoline rationing which went into efi'ect about the 1st of May. If the volume of vehicular traffic using the tunnel had followed the trend of the first four months of the year, the tunnel would have shown a surplus for the first time in its history. As stated, however, the curtailed use of gasoline, which was ordered by the Federal Govern- ment as a wartime measure, had the effect of drastically curtailing the use of the tunnel by vehicles. On the basis of the volume of traffic that used the tunnel for the first four months of the year, I predict that this essential facility w411 be self-supporting within two or three years after the war or within one year after normal conditions prevail, in so far as vehicular traffic is concerned.

There were 2,259 eligible employees on the rolls of the department as of December 31, including 104 em- ployees who were granted leaves of absence for the reason that they were in the military service.

The water waste survey conducted in 1941 by the Pitometer Company, Inc., of New York in the High and Low Service systems in the so-called Sections 7-A and 7-B in the City Proper was completed in November with beneficial results to the city. The contract sum of $14,000 was paid to the contractor, as the value of the increased revenue that the department will receive as the result of the uncovering of leaks in the water system more than offsets the above-referenced contract price. I recommend that these surveys be continued and eventually extended to every section of the city, because the money spent on this work produces in- creased revenue to the city which more than offsets the costs of the contracts.

War Time Activities.

The department, under the direction of the Boston Committee on Public Safety, instituted and perfected an Air Raid Protection organization designed to protect and repair any structures that are under the jurisdiction of the department and which might be damaged due to air raids by enemy forces. These include all streets, bridges, sewerage and water structures, the pumping station and many other miscellaneous department owned or department controlled structures. Every

Public Works Department. 3

employee was assigned to a particular duty in the event of an air raid and the department participated in air raid tests held by the Safety Committee during the year. I feel confident that we shall, in the event of an air raid, be able to repair, within a reasonable time, any damaged structures that are under our jurisdiction.

The Boston Salvage Committee was formed in February and the undersigned was designated as chair- man by the chairman of the State Salvage Committee. The Boston Committee was one of the first to be or- ganized in this state and it has been functioning most effectively throughout the year in inaugurating salvage campaigns and supervising and directing the collection of all salvageable materials needed for military or essential civilian use.

The collection of prepared tin cans was started in August and continued every month thereafter during the year. In the five-month collection period, 1,700,560 pounds of tin cans were collected and shipped to The Vulcan Detinning Company of Sewaren, New Jersey. Collections were made during the third full week of each month by employees of the Public Works De- partment, using department trucks. We require the residents to place the prepared cans on the sidewalk in front of their premises before 10 a. m. on the sche- duled day of collection. Our employees then go from street to street until every street in the city is covered, and collect tin cans and deposit them in the collection truck which then proceeds to the Cummings street (South End) freight siding and dumps the load of cans direct into a gondola-type of freight car from a ramp previousl}^ constructed by the department. The house- holders are cooperating very effectively in the saving of tin cans and the collection of this important material is proceeding satisfactorily.

In October a gigantic drive for scrap metal was conducted by the committee and, with the use of de- partment employees and trucks, 8,140,000 pounds of scrap metal were collected and delivered to the yards of the scrap dealers, where it was sorted and shipped to the steel mills.

With the assistance and cooperation of the Boston Elevated Railway and the W. P. A. this department started on a project, in April, to remove all the aban- doned street car tracks that were located in many streets of the city. The work continued throughout

4 City Document No. 24.

the year and 2,043 tons of steel rails were recovered and shipped to steel mills designated by the War Pro- duction Board.

The war has created an acute shortage of tin and scrap metal and the collection of these essential materials in this city and other municipalities in the country has become mandatory and has done much to relieve the serious situation created by these shortages. The collection work has become an important wartime measure that is definitely an aid in the winning of the war.

A drive was also started for the salvaging of waste paper and the residents cooperated to such an extent in this drive that the waste paper market became glutted and the drive was suspended for the time being.

All revenues that the Salvage Committee derives from the sale of all salvageable material collected are donated to charity. Outstanding of the many contributions made was one in the amount of $10,000 to the Boston Community Fund drive.

Under orders of Federal authorities and in order to reduce the sky glow which was silhouetting ships and making them easy targets of enemy submarines, all electric street lights were provided with inside shields w^hich set over the globes and the globes of all gas street lights were painted to a point below the light filament. These steps greatly reduced the light- ing effect on the street surface, but it effectively reduced the sk}' glow and gave members of our armed forces and merchant marine the necessary protection from submarine attacks.

All department construction and reconstruction work was greatly curtailed, due to restrictions placed on materials by the War Production Board.

Tex- Year Refuse Disposal Contract.

The contract that the Coleman Disposal Company had with the city for the disposal of garbage and refuse collected from the following areas terminated on June 30:

South Boston. Elm Hill (garbage only).

Charlestown. Back Bay.

Dorchester (garbage only). South, North and West Ends.

Roxbury. City Proper.

For some fifteen months prior to the expiration date of this contract I made a detailed study in order to

Public Works Department. 5

determine the best disposal system to adopt upon the expiration of the ten-year contract.

In the course of my study I visited, on several occa- sions, the comparatively new 750-ton incinerator (which is the last word in modern incineration) located on West 56th street. New York City, as well as incinerators located in Cincinnati, Providence and Brookline.

I also spent one entire day in New York Citj" to familiarize myself with the so-called "Land-Fill" method of refuse and garbage disposal in which New York has pioneered and adopted to a large extent, even going so far as to close eleven of its twenty-three incinerators in favor of the Land-Fill system of garbage and refuse disposal.

I have also been materially assisted in making my findings regarding this important problem by examining and studying reports of an engineering nature prepared by the Boston Finance Commission, Division Engineer Post of the Sanitary Division of this department, and the engineering firm of Metcalf and Eddy, as well as two excellent financial reports submitted to me by City Auditor Charles Fox and the auditing firm of C. F. Rittenhouse & Company.

Li my opinion, no stone was left unturned which might have aided me in making a complete stud}' of the matter in order that I would be in a position to recommend, with confidence in my decision, a S3%stem of garbage and refuse disposal that would be practical for this city to adopt and would be sanitary and not unduly costly. While every system in use for the disposal of garbage and refuse has been studied and considered by me, I am including, for the purpose of this report, only those systems that could possibly be adaptable for Boston.

The so-called Land-Fill method of garbage and refuse disposal is comparatively new and, due to its great economy, has been adopted by many cities throughout the country, notably New York City. While the many cities that use the Land-Fill method vary some- what in operation methods, fundamentally the methods are all similar in that garbage and refuse are collected simultaneously by a collection truck and hauled to a land dump and dumped directly into a trench or crater previously made by a so-called "dragline" crane in the process of removing suitable earth material which is used to cover the garbage and refuse. This earth

6 City Document No. 24.

material, dumped in six inch layers to a maximum of thirty inches in depth, seals the entire exposed area of the garbage and refuse hauled to the dump each day, with the result that only that garbage and refuse hauled during the collection day is visible. By sealing the garbage and refuse with suitable earth fill each day, the ordinary objections to a land dump are removed; that is, flies and rats are ehminated and no objectionable odors are present as the decomposition of the putrescible matter takes place under a seal of 30 inches of earth fill. The big advantage of a Land-Fill is that it is very economical and costs only about one third to one half as much as incineration. It also has another advantage in making large areas of land available for development, with particular reference to increased recreational facilities.

I do not favor the Land-Fill method for Boston, however, that is in so far as the districts included in the present ten-year contract are concerned, because there is only one available site, namely, the so-called Mile Road dump, that could be utilized for Land-Fills. This would mean that all the trucks now hauling waste materials to the Fort Hill, Albany Street, and Victors- Road receiving stations would be required to haul to the Mile Road dump. This would create an intolerable situation on the residential and semi-residential streets leading to the dump clue to the increased truck traffic which would result from concentrating, on one area, the dumping of approximately 600 tons of garbage and refuse collected daily. Aside from that point, Land-Fill is not the permanent solution to the problem, as the Mile Road dump would not last, as a central dumping site, for more than four or five years. The proximity of the bathing beaches to the Mile Road dump also makes it inadvisable to concentrate dumping activities at that location.

The only other practical system for Boston to con- sider, in order to solve its garbage and refuse disposal problems for a period of at least fifty years, is incinera- tion, and I recommend, without qualification, its adoption.

While this report relates only to the districts included in the ten-year contract, I might state at this time that incineration of all of Boston's garbage and refuse will have to be done within ten years, as all of the available land dumps are becoming filled and the farmers cannot be depended upon to collect the garbage for their hogs

Public Works Department. 7

indefinitely, particularly when there is a possibility that a state law will be passed, in the not too distant future, which will prohibit the feeding of garbage to hogs.

Incineration is more costly than the so-called Land- Fill method, but it is the only completely satisfactory method for disposing of garbage and refuse that Boston can adopt. Incineration destro^'s organic matter (which is the cause of rats, flies, and odors in land dumps) and all combustible material, leaving only clean ashes and incombustible materials, mostly tin cans, to be hauled to a land dump. This residue amounts to about ten per cent by weight of the original waste material. A modern, well-operated incinerator is not objectionable, as all odors are eliminated and only on rare occasions, such as when starting a new fire in a boiler, can you observe smoke coming out of the stack. Of all the incinerators that I visited, I never saw as much smoke being emitted b}' the stack as one might observe, on many occasions, coming out of the stack of a heating or power plant having oil or coal fired boilers.

While incineration is more costly than Land-Fill, it can be done at a lower cost per year than the system in effect under the provisions of the ten-year contract with the Coleman Disposal Company. Incidentally, the previous system was a combined system in that it provides for dumping on mainland dumps and at Spectacle Island and also includes a so-called garbage reduction process operated at Spectacle Island.

The ten-year contract provided for the payment to the contractor of an aggregate sum of $3,780,000, or an average of $378,000 per year.

To the latter figure $40,000 should be added, as it cost the city that amount to maintain the three receiv- ing stations and to pay for salaries of employees as- signed to those locations. It is seen, therefore, that it cost the city $418,000 a year to operate the previous svstem. If incineration is adopted, I estimate that the cost to the city will be $323,000 or $95,000 less than the previous system, although, in so far as sanitation is concerned, the previous system does not begin to compare with incineration. The estimated cost of incineration is based on the construction of two plants, one at a cost of $300,000, at or near the site of the Fort Hill receiving station, and another, at a cost of $1,400,000, at or near the site of the Albany street station.

The Fort Hill plant is to have a capacity of 175 tons per day and is to operate five days a week, twenty-four hours a day. The Albany street plant is to have a capacity of 700 tons per day and is to operate seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

No use is to be made of the available waste heat of incineration at the Fort Hill plant, but at the Albany street plant we plan to use the waste heat for the pur- pose of developing steam and supplementing the power plant at the City Hospital in furnishing part of the heat, light and power now furnished b}^ the City Hos- pital plant to the hospital and some of the Public Works Department buildings located on Albany street. The excess waste heat resulting from incineration should be sufficient to provide for the entire needs of the hospital for five months of the year and for its partial needs for the remaining seven months. In other words, the present personnel of the City Hospital plant used in the operation of the boilers could be used for some other purpose or transferred to some other department for five months of the year because the incinerator could furnish all of the steam needed during those months. In estimating the saving that would result to the hospital if an incinerator were constructed, no allowance, however, was made for any saving in salaries. The estimated annual saving of $95,000 is based on a saving for fuel oil only and, in view of this, the estimate unquestionably is a conservative one.

The decision to abandon the previous system of dis- posal of garbage and refuse and adopt incineration was made by me in December of 1941, subsequent to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Although, at that time, I felt that it would be impossible to obtain the materials and skilled workers necessarj^ in the con- struction of the proposed plants, I made plans to go ahead with the proposed construction, in the hope that, despite the war, the construction materials would be available. I actuallj- selected a site for the incinerator that is to be erected on city-owned land near the City Hospital, and awarded a contract for the taking of borings at the proposed site. The borings have been taken, but that is as far as the matter has gone because of events that followed shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack.

Because of conditions caused by the war, I concluded in January of 1942 that, in the best interests of the City and the Federal Government, we should proceed,

10 City Document No. 24,

in so far as matters affecting the construction of the two proposed incinerators were concerned, as follows:

1 . Defer starting actual construction of the incinerators until the end of the war because of the following reasons :

(a) The drain on a material, namely, steel which is vital to the country's success in the war, could not be justified, for the simple reason that incineration is not the only system available for the disposal of garbage and refuse. Incident- ally, it is estimated that 1,520 tons of steel will be needed in the construction of the two incinerators.

(b) The chief fuel, namely, waste paper, used in in- cinerators to burn the garbage and all other semi-combustible refuse, was being salvaged and reprocessed for military and essential civilian uses as a war conservation measure. This factor alone discouraged giving further consideration, at that time, to the erection of incinerators because, if in- cineration is to be done with any degree of economy, waste paper must be used as fuel and not the costly and precious fuel oil or coal.

(c) The cost of constructing the incinerators will prob- ably be much less after the war than it would have been under war conditions.

(d) A Federal agency, such as the old P. W. A., will prob- ably be established at the end of the war to take up the slack in unemployment and to assist municipalities to finance worthwhile construction projects of this type. With the total cost of the incinerators estimated at $1,700,000 it is not unreasonable to assume that the saving to the city, through Federal aid alone, will approximate $500,000.

After deciding to postpone the erection of the two incinerators, the cit}^ now had the choice of two avail- able disposal systems, one of which was the then current system, or a modification of same, and the second, the so-called Land-Fill method of disposal.

The Land-Fill method restricted us to the Mile Road dump with the inherent disadvantages outlined in the first part of this report, and, in view of this, I was not inclined to look upon it favorably unless we had no alternative; that is, unless we could not make satis- factory arrangements to keep the current system or a modification of it in effect until at least one year after the end of the war, which would provide sufficient time for the erection of the proposed incinerators.

To keep the current system in effect, however, we were limited to negotiating with the Coleman Disposal Company, because it controlled Spectacle Island, owned the plant at that location, and also the scows used in

Public Works Department. 11

transporting the garbage and refuse from the mainland to the island. Unquestionably, we could have acquired the entire plant and equipment of the contractor by right of eminent domain, but the price would have been prohibitive (it carried a book value of approximately $400,000), particularly as I did not feel that we would have to keep the current system in excess of a two-year period.

The sj'stem to adopt, upon the completion of the then current contract, depended, therefore, on our making satisfactory arrangements with the Coleman Disposal Company regarding a continuation of the system, or a modified form of same. If our negotiations were unsuccessful, we would have to adopt the Land- Fill method and utilize the Alile Road dump as a dump- ing site. This would mean that we would have to acquire the land by right of eminent domain, and invite proposals, after publicly advertising for same, from contractors to actually conduct the Land-Fill opera- tions. We were prepared to do this if we could not make satisfactory arrangements with the Coleman Companv, and engineers of this department have cross- sectioned the Alile Road dumping area in order to determine the volume of available filling space.

I felt, strongh', that the interests of the city would be best served, however, if the current system were kept in effect during the wartime and pending the construction of incinerators, because the Coleman Company had alwaj's done the disposal work satisfactorily, and I have never received any serious complaints either because of the ]\Iile Road dump or Spectacle Island. The current system had been in effect for at least thirty years and to change to a s^'stem that was to be only of a two-year duration did not appear to me to be the sensible thing to do unless we had no alternative.

With these thoughts in mind, therefore, I started negotiating with representatives of the Coleman Dis- posal Company in January of 1942, regarding the executing of a contract similar to the current one and which was to take effect upon the expiration, on June 30, of the contract. I had many conferences with said representatives regarding this matter and a satisfactory agreement was reached in June.

The agreement provided for a one-3'ear contract at a contract price of $265,000. The agreed price was $113,000 less per year than that paid under the previous

12 City Document No. 24.

contract, and it also was considerably less than my estimated cost of incineration. It provides for sub- stantially the same work included in the previous contract, except that it does not require the Coleman Company to dispose of garbage at Spectacle Island by incineration or by the so-called reduction process re- quired under the provisions of the previous contract. It requires the company to handle the same volume of material as heretofore and the same districts are in- cluded in the new contract that were included in the old one. The city, therefore, is receiving exactly the same kind of service under the new contract, in so far as the actual disposal of garbage and refuse from the area included in the contract is concerned, as under the existing contract, but is actuall}- paying $113,000 less per year for the service. This is why, in my opinion, the agreement reached bj- the city with the Coleman Disposal Company was the best one possible and, un- questionably, is advantageous to the city.

The work under the new contract is proceeding satisfactorily and the method of disposal is, in my opinion, more sanitary than the previous one.

Appended hereto are detailed reports submitted to me by the division engineers covering the activities of their respective divisions during the year.

Respectfully submitted,

George G. Hyland, Commissioner of Public Works.

Another duty of the division during the winter months was the supervising and inspecting of snow loading and removal from snow area No. 2, in common with other divisions of the department. This work was done under contract.

In the course of the year part of the activities of the office force were taken up in work for other divisions and departments of the city.

All these boats are of the propeller type and are all steel boats.

The work of this service for the year consisted of the following:

Repairs to Steel Ferry Bridge, South Ferry, North Slip,

Boston Side.

On May 11, 1942, the Mayor approved a contract with J. A. Singeralla for repairs to steel ferry bridge, South Ferry, north slip, Boston side. The bridge was jacked into place; the contractor renewed outer hanger plates and repaired or replaced the steel work. The bridge was also cleaned and painted. Work com- menced May 13, 1942, and was completed August 21, 1942, at a cost of $8,587.77.

Ferryboat "Charles C. Donoghue.'"

Upon the expiration of the ship's papers in December,

1941, a contract was prepared to cover all necessary repairs to again put the boat in service in proper con- dition and to meet the requirements of the United States Steamboat Inspection Service.

On April 25, 1942, the Mayor approved an advertised contract with the Quincy Dry Dock and Yacht Cor- poration, for doing the necessary work.

The work included hauling the ship out of the water on a marine railway, cleaning and painting the hull and superstructure inside and out and making designated routine repairs, renewals and adjustments to the main engines, auxiliaries, piping, valves, etc. There was also included in the work the furnishing of a new bronze piston rod for the main condenser unit, the furnishing of new dampers in the uptakes from the boilers and the fitting of one new piston ring in one high pressure and one low pressure piston.

Work under this contract was completed on Julv 3,

1942, at a total cost of $17,624.60.

On December 23, 1942, the air pump and dome of the condenser failed utterly. The ship was taken out of service at once on orders from the United States Steam- boat Inspection Service.

Ferryboat "Ralph J. Palumbo.^'

The ship's papers of this boat expired on July 21, 1942, but due to the lack of funds for such work as

Public Works Department. 27

repairs incidental to a general overhaul of the vessel, the contract covering the work to be done was held in abey- ance until December,

On December 12, 1942, the Mayor approved a contract with the Quincy Dry Dock and Yacht Corporation for making only such repairs as would be required by the United States Steamboat Inspection Service. Under normal circumstances, to insure the life of the ship and reduce maintenance costs to a minimum in the following 3'ear, good practice would have been to make a general overhaul of the hull and machinery. However, since it was necessary to get the ship in commission in the shortest time, only limited repairs were called for in the specifications of the contract.

Work started at once but was not completed during the current year.

Department Force.

During the year machinists, carpenters, painters, riggers and electricians, who are included in the personnel of the Ferry Service, made all repairs possible to the plant to the extent of equipment at their disposal. This work consisted mainly of minor repairs to the machinery on the boats, repairs to ferry bridge machinery, ferry bridge roadways and headhouse repairs in general.

Sumner Tunnel.

On April 25, 1942, the Mayor approved a contract with P. J. Dinn & Co. for erecting a chain link fence to protect transformers at the Sumner Tunnel. Work started June 24, 1942, and was completed July 23, 1942, at a cost of 13,197.

Resurfacing in Sumner Tunnel with Granite Block, Brick Block and Ultimite Block,

On May 12, 1942, the Mayor approved a contract with Edward M. Matz for resurfacing in Sumner Tunnel with granite block, brick block and Ultimite block. This work was supervised by the Highway Division. Work started June 30, 1942, and was completed October 1, 1942, at a total cost of $15,327.30.

Summary of Work During 1942. Personnel. During the year 1942 eight employees of the Tunnel Service entered the armed services of the United States.

Public Works Department. 47

As of January 1, 1942, the regular employees num- bered 467, and on December 31, 1942, our regular personnel amounted to 484, including 20 employees in the military service.

The amount of money taken in through the Permit Office of the Paving Service was $9,937.17. Of this amount $6,883.67 was deposited with the City Col- lector, and $3,053.50 was billed to public service cor- porations. There are now on file in the Permit Office 1,580 bonds in the amounts- of one, three, four and twenty thousand dollars covering the city against claims for damages, etc., through the use of permits.

The regular force of the Paving Service was employed as usual in the maintenance of all public streets, resur- facing and patching macadam pavements, patching all permanent pavements, such as asphalt, granite blocks, etc., and taking care of all gravel, brick and artificial stone sidewalks.

Work was continued this year by the Federal Works Progress forces in the removal of abandoned car tracks. There were 2,034 long tons of abandoned car tracks removed and sold by the city amounting to $28,282, and shipped to the steel mills.

This division advertised and awarded twenty-four streets to be permanently' constructed with sidewalks, edgestones and roadway that were accepted by the Board of Street Commissioners with an assessment to be made on the abutting owners. Under this arrange- ment nineteen of the twenty-four streets were con- structed. Also this division has constructed twenty- seven new artificial stone sidewalks in the place of brick and gravel sidewalks.

The following is some of the more important streets and work performed this year: Hillside street, Rox- bury, was advertised for reconstruction and work was started but not completed. The resurfacing of the Summer Street Bridge was completed this year. Har- rison avenue, from Beach street to Broadway, was resurfaced. Newbury street, from Arlington street to Clarendon street, the sidewalks were moved back 4 feet, thereby reducing the width of the sidewalks and increasing the roadwaj' area. This has shown a marked improvement in the movement of traffic.

Comparison of 194i Costs. Tlie year 1942 showed an increase in contract prices over 1941 amounting to $171,570. The only district showing a decrease was the Back Bay district, in which there was a decrease of $240 a month. A new district, called Stuart, was taken over from dav labor, and the charge for this district was $2,380 a month. In 1941 the work in the Dudley district was performed by contractor for $2,249 per month, but in 1942 the Mission Hill area was added to this district, and the cost of the work in the new district was $4,700 per month.

Welfare. 1942 saw the end of welfare assistance, there being only about ten men a day at the end of June, and none by the end of September.

W. P. A. ^ The W. P. A. project which was in progress, making a study of street and alley cleaning, closed officially March 5.

Salvage. In February the Boston Salvage Com- mittee was organized, with Commissioner of Public Works George G. Hyland as chairman. Meetings were held with representatives of the junkmen, and the salvage program was built around them, with emphasis on the salvaging of waste paper. Two hundred thou- sand circulars of information and instruction to the householders were distributed to all residences. There were also distributed 200,000 window cards to be placed in the windows to call a junkman, and established prices for paper, old metal and rags were published. Bill- boards, store-window displays, trolley-car posters, and radio talks were extensively- used to further the project. Effective support was also given by the newspapers. In May the price of paper had dropped because of the enormous amount collected, and by August paper was no longer worth collecting because the market was glutted. Throughout all this period we had the en- thusiastic support of the entire population.

Tin Can Salvage Collection. The collection of tin cans for salvage was organized so that city trucks collected properly prepared tin cans, placed on the sidewalks in front of the houses. Collections were made by public Works Department employees during one week in each month. Anticipatory experiments had been made with a view to getting the greatest density. Government circulars were distributed, store-window displays were installed, and radio and newspaper publicity was obtained. Women canvassers were organized and fur-

nished with ward maps, voting lists and pledge cards for house to house solicitation.

Two freight terminals were constructed with ramps, chutes and spur track for direct loading into railroad cars. Although the Office of Defense Transportation had lowered the minimum carload weight on tin cans to fifteen gross tons, the size of the cars furnished by the railroad were, with few exceptions, too small to get this weight into the cars, so that the city had to pay excess freight charges in almost every case.

The October collection of tin cans was omitted because of the Scrap Metal Drive. The amounts of tin cans collected and the revenue received were as follows:

August ....

September ....

November ....

December ....

Totals ....

The receipts were net after freight, but did not include cost of ramps, etc., or any charge for collection by city vehicles.

Comparison with other United States cities showed that Boston stood first in the amount per capita col- lected, and second only to New York in the total tonnage.

Scrap Metal Drive. The Scrap Metal Drive was conducted by the Boston Salvage Committee, enlisting the support of the women canvassers, and prizes were awarded to the public and parochial schools collecting the largest amount per pupil.

Bins were placed in two hundred locations throughout the city. City trucks removed the scrap collected to junk dealers selected by the War Production Board.

Fourteen hundred and ninety-six (1,496) gross tons were sold for $8,513.53, and approximately the same amount was stored at Mile Road dump for later sales.

Civilian Defense.^ All employees were photographed, and identification cards were issued, giving emergency assignments. Waterfront employees were given special passes by the United States Coast Guard.

All oil-heating apparatus were converted to coal.

Respectfully submitted,

Adolph J. Post,

Division Engineer.

Boston, January 2, 1943.

To the Commissiojier of Public Works.

I submit herewith statement of the activities and expenditures of the Sewer Division for the year ending December 31, 1942.

During the year there were built by contractors, day labor, private parties, and by the city under W. R. P. supervision, 2.39 miles of common sewers and surface drains throughout the city. After deducting 0.12 miles of sewers and surface drains, rebuilt or abandoned, the net increase for 1942 is 2.27 miles, which added to the existing 1,219.41 miles of common sewers and surface drains and 30.93 miles of intercepting sewers, makes a grand total of 1,252.61 miles of all sewers belonging to the City of Boston, and under the care of the Sewer Division on January 1, 1943.

There were 110 catch-basins built or rebuilt and twenty abandoned or removed during the year, making a net gain of ninety catch-basins and a grand total of 22,526 catch-basins under the care of the Sewer Division on January 1, 1943.

Entrance fees to the amount of $860.34 have been deposited with the City Collector for collection from estates upon which no sewer assessments were ever paid, in accordance with Ordinances of 1910, chapter 9, section 10.

578 permits have been issued, viz., 216 to district foremen and contractors and 362 to drain layers for re- pairing or laying new house drains. Inspectors from this office have personally inspected the work done under these drain layers' permits.

Plans for the assessments of estates for sewer con- struction have been furnished the Board of Street Com- missioners, representing 9,145.39 linear feet of sewers.

62

City Document No. 24.

827 complaints have been investigated and inspectors are instructed to report in writing in each case.

710 catch-basin complaints were received.

700 gasoline traps have been examined in garages and cleansing establishments,

600 grease traps have been examined in hotels, res- taurants and commercial establishments.

Reported in writing on 1,524 municipal liens to the City Collector, in accordance with chapter 60, section 25, of the General Laws. Reported orally on about 2,200 requests for information on municipal liens.

Notices have been mailed to abutters in conformity with the Ordinances, chapter 27, section 8, apprising them of the construction of new sewers or repairs to old sewers.

During the year 1942, 3,400 catch-basins were cleaned by day labor. None were cleaned by contract.

APPENDIX E.

REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF THE WATER DIVISION.

Boston, January 2, 1943.

To the Commissioner of Public Works.

I respectfully submit the following report of the activities of the Water Division, operations and expend- itures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1942.

In order to cooperate with the United States Govern- ment in the conservation of critical material, the work of laying and relaying water pipes has been severely curtailed, so that but very little work of this nature was performed during the year.

The department was able to cope with the increased demands for water service by governmental agencies and private manufacturing plants engaged in war work without extension of additional water mains or the relaying of old mains.

During the year 1,296 linear feet of water mains were extended, this work being performed to provide water facilities to new housing areas developed in connection with the war work. Seven hundred sixteen feet of pipe was relaid due to defective water mains.

Engineering Branch.

This branch of the Water Division was engaged principally in supervising the installation of additional service pipes to premises occupied by Government forces, occasioned by the war.

During the year eighteen (18) employees were granted leave of absence for military duty for the duration. Due to the decrease in the personnel, and the difficulty of replacing employees during the war, the department has engaged the services of contractors to assist the departmental forces in the City Proper, Dorchester and West Roxbury districts. The total amount paid to

Public Works Department. 91

contractors assisting tlie department forces in regular maintenance work was as follows:

West Roxbiiry District, approximately . $15,880 00 Dorchester District, approximately . . 8,750 00 City Proper District, approximately . 24,042.00

A fire, which originated in the woodwork of W^arren Bridge, destroyed a portion of the water pipe trestle carrying a 16-inch water main between the City Proper and Charlestown, necessitating the replacing of 271 feet of this trestle and the relaying of an equal amount of 16-inch water main.

Distribution Branch.

The regular work of the Distribution Branch, con- sisting of installation of new services and fire pipes, repairing of leaks, caring for complaints, shutting off and letting on water, freeing of stoppages in service pipes, etc., was performed in such a manner and at such periods as to cause a minimum delay and incon- venience to applicants for water, w^ater takers and the general public.

The machine shop and plumbing shop were forced to handle all the drilling and connecting of services in addition to the regular work carried on in these shops, such as the machining and assembling of gates, valves and hydrants, and the department assisted the other branches of the Public Works Department in per- forming special jobs.

In order to check the leakage of water, a Pitometer Survey of downtown Boston started in the latter part of 1941, was completed in 1942, and the contractor was paid for the actual leakage found, not to exceed $14,000.

Business Office.

The campaign inaugurated in 1938 to enforce the payment of outstanding water bills is still in force. Customers in arrears are notified that the flow of water will be reduced, but yet enough water is left on the premises to provide a minimum for health and sanitary requirements. As a result of this campaign the Water Division ended the year 1942 with a surplus of $1,305,742.15, this surplus being due mainly to the

92

City Document No. 24,

collection of bills past due, and the increased con- sumption of water in Government properties and war plants.

Main pipe petitions received Domestic service applications Fire pipe applications . Special meter tests Hydrant permits issued Repair deposits received Miscellaneous deposits .

The Metropolitan assessment for 1942 amounted to $2,906,978.76, an increase of $227,813.44 over the assessment for 1930.

Total amount billed in 1942 .... $5,229,392 88 Total amount collected for 1942 bills as of

December 31, 1942 $4,226,226 43

Total amount abated for 1942 bills as of

December 31, 1942 $24,710 15

Total amount collected in 1942 on bills rendered

prior to 1942 $993,048 69

This department contacts the water consumers very frequently throughout the year, and the conduct of the office has been such that I believe a spirit of good will between the customers and the employees has been brought about which is beneficial to the consumer and the city.

Respectfully submitted,

Daniel M. Sullivan,

Division Engineer.
