ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT For The Year Ending December 31, 1968
Boston, January 2, 1969.
Hon. Kevin H. White,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear Mr. Mayor :
In compliance with the provisions of Section 25 of Chapter 3 of the Revised Ordinances of 1961, 1 respectfully submit the annual report of the Public Works Department.
As required by Section 36 of Chapter 21 of the Revised Ordinances of 1961, I am also submitting the annual report of the Public Improvement Commission.
Because the workings of the department are such that its every move is in the public eye, it is imperative that this department operate as economically and efficiently as possible. The operation of the department is through a Central Office and five divisions. Each division is in charge of a Division Engineer, who is an expert in his particular field. The following are the functions of the Public Works Department: the construction, reconstruc- tion of highways and sidewalks, street lighting, snow removal, sewerage and drainage construction and main- tenance, distribution of potable water, and the main- tenance of necessary components, sanitation, street clean- ing, removal and disposal of refuse and garbage, incinera- tion, and the cleaning of catch basins. The engineering
6
City Document No. 18
requirements to carry on the above programs are by departmental employees, assisted by contract experts.
Delegation of authority within the department is as follows :
CENTRAL OFFICE
There are four sections in the Central Office : an Admin- istrative Branch; a Maintenance Branch; a Permit Branch, and a Personnel Branch.
The Administrative Branch processes purchase and supply requisitions, service orders, payrolls, personnel requisitions, transfers, promotions, and terminations. This Branch also handles, studies, and prepares reports.
The Maintenance Branch was established February 8, 1960, by the consolidation of the Automotive Section and the Repair Shop, formerly in the Sanitary Division. This Branch is responsible for the care, control, and mainr tenance of departmental vehicles. They are also in charge of the public utility facilities in the various yards and serve as a housekeeping unit.
Communication Center
The department maintains a Communication Center consisting of a main base station radio, linkage by closed circuit teletype system with ten highway yards, and the Central snow removal office at Albany street. Depart- mental mobile units are radio equipped.
During the year, automotive equipment amounting to an expenditure of $433,853.42 was purchased for the department.
Permit Branch
The Permit Branch is the departmental unit for the issuance of permits and licenses. This Branch receives departmental fees, rentals, and charges for these functions.
The cash receipts for the year 1968 show a decrease from the previous year.
The largest percentage of this decrease is reflected in the Engineering and Inspection Fees account. This ac- count fluctuates from year to year depending on the
Public Works Department
7
amount of street reconstruction work that is undertaken by the department, the amount of repairs made to trenches opened by the Public Utilities and the availability of time for the preparing and processing of bills for the transfer of these funds from Street Opening Account (Special) to the General Revenue Account.
There has been a decrease in the income received from projections caused by the demolition of many locations which had projections and from the numerous business establishments that have gone out of business.
The decrease in revenue from opening and occupation permits is due to the completion during the year of some major projects which were paying substantial permit fees.
The decrease in revenue from licenses reflects the trans- fer of most of the produce dealers to their new area out- side of the city.
Contract Section
One of the more important functions of the Adminis- trative Branch is the Contract Section. Here, approxi- mately 150 contracts, involving all facets of public works, are processed. The volume of these contracts amounts to expenditures of about $15,000,000 per annum. The work is extremely technical as there must be strict com- pliance with the general laws, ordinances, and special laws pertaining to the city. Upon execution of contracts, copies of periodical estimates, extensions of time, extra work orders are processed and filed.
Fiscal
There was carried over from 1967 the amount of $10,040,477. Appropriations for 1968 amounted to $23,713,895. Revenue received amounted to $13,190,066, making the amount available $46,946,438.
Expenditures amounted to $36,405,117, leaving an un- expended balance of $10,541,321, and unliquidated en- cumbrance and carry forward of $6,855,107, and a net unencumbered balance of $3,686,214.
The Water Division operated with a deficit of $915,- 042.63, and the Sewer Division operated with a deficit of $976,466. There was a Snow Removal deficit of $443,615.
8
City Document No. 18
Revenue from the sale of water amounted to $9,445,971 and expenditures amounted to $10,030,865. Metropoli- tan water assessments do not pay the cost of their ex- penditures resulting in ever-increasing sales of Water Use Development Loan Bonds, which on June 30, 1967, amounted to $51,903,000 of a net debt of $117,176,000. Proper refinancing would be of distinct benefit to Boston.
The Sewer Deficit is quite serious. The Metropolitan Assessment has been reduced by 52 percent until the Boston Main Drainage System is connected to the Metro- politan system. This may occur within a few months. The only answer is to increase the Sewer Use Charge.
There was available for Snow Removal the sum of $760,000 as a 1968 appropriation and $135,000 for equip- ment. Expenditures amounted to $1,203,615 and $99,974 for equipment creating a deficit in the removal account of $443,615, and the amount of $35,026 carried over in the equipment account.
There was a bridge loan amounting to $1,526,044, with an unencumbered balance of $66,925. There was a side- walk loan of $1,400,000 which with $289,530 carried forward, made $1,689,530 available. Expenditures amounted to $748,490, with an unencumbered balance of $1,443,773. The sum of $1,702,100 was carried forward which with a sewerage loan of $1,250,000 made $2,952,100 available. Expenditures amounted to $973,039, with an unencumbered balance of $112,607.
The Public Ways Loan was $3,000,000 augmented by $2,811,337 carried forward plus the revenue received for a total of $6,442,028. Expenditures amounted to $4,029,- 695 with an unencumbered balance of $280,648.
Funds were available under the several accelerated Highway Programs created by Chapter 782 of 1962, Chapter 882 of 1963, 679 of 1965 and 616 of 1966.
Chapter 782 funds amounted to $51,155, with an un- encumbered balance of $14,338. Chapter 822 funds amounted to $98,631 with no unencumbered balance. Chapter 679 funds amounted to $255,738, with an un- encumbered balance of $113,384. Chapter 616 funds
Public Works Department

amounted to $1,511,805, with an unencumbered balance of $778,809.
There was a Water Loan of $1,300,000 which with the amount carried forward, amounted to $2,300,000, with an unencumbered balance of $1,735,717. A Water Meter Loan was carried forward in the amount of $142,- 258, with an unencumbered balance of $1,747.
Appended hereto is the report submitted by the Public Improvement Commission and statistical data relative to the activities of the various divisions.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph F. Casazza, Commissioner of Public Works .

City Document No. 18
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Engi- neering Division of the City of Boston, Public Works Department, for the year 1968. This represents the ninth such report since the division was activated in 1960.
An analysis of the various programs for sewer, water, and highway projects planned versus the actual projects advertised and completed or started, indicates that the actual dollar value of work encumbered for construction appears to be close to the 1967 encumbrances. However, there are two disturbing factors here that indicate a need for accelerating our pace. One is that contract prices have risen sharply with the result that the same dollar value produces less results than in 1967. The other factor is that work advertised in 1967 represented many projects originally planned for 1966 so that, of necessity, the 1968 work in turn became in large part, work planned for 1967. This was the case particularly for Chapter 90 projects, street reconstruction and sidewalk projects. Sewer and water projects in general remained fairly current in execution.
This trend to lag behind planning is a direct result of inadequate manpower both in technical competence and in numbers to get the work accomplished as well as inadequate funds. It is hoped that 1969 will be used to solve the manpower and financial problem and reverse this trend.
Along with what might be called the routine projects advertised for construction were several advertised items that were of interest such as the following :
1. The completion of American Legion extension, from Cummins Highway to Hyde Park avenue. This should have the dual result of serving both present and proposed commercial and residential abutting properties and also of dispersing traffic loads in the general area.
2. The start of the restoration of the colonial appear- ance of Charles street, Boston Proper, from Beacon street to the Charles Street Circle. His Honor, the Mayor, requested the department to consider this resto- ration in the form of brick sidewalks and gas lights, so
Public Works Department
11
that the world-renowned charm of Beacon Hill would be reflected in this street also. Because the imminent approach of cold weather made the complete installation impossible, a special concerted effort produced the com- pletion of a representative stretch between Beacon street and Chestnut street. The completion of this restoration is planned for 1969.
3. Again, in the interest of producing an oasis of neighborhood relation, this division produced plans re- sulting in the reduction of the curb to curb width of Dartmouth street, between Boylston street and Common- wealth avenue, to 44 feet, the elimination of the median and the installation of brick sidewalks on the easterly side. This will allow the Parks and Recreation Depart- ment to constrpct a pedestrian mall on the westerly side during 1969. This attractive mall will have trees, benches, special pedestrian lighting and other recreational facilities, and should enhance the over-all neighborhood appearance. Because of money limitations it was necessary to postpone a similar development of Dartmouth street, from Com- monwealth avenue to Beacon street, until 1969.
4. Closely associated with the Dartmouth Street im- provement was the paving and sidewalk and street lighting work done in those sections of St. James avenue, Dartmouth street, and Boylston street, which surround Copley square. This work has been done in order to further enhance the charm of the beautification of Copley square now in progress.
Although not in the categories of advertised projects, another event took place that is certainly worthy of mention and that is the moving of the department and consequently, this division, to the New City Hall.
Of necessity, this resulted in a gigantic review of plans, documents, books and records to see what could be dis- posed of or must be retained. This in turn, brought to light for review many ancient documents relative to per- sonnel history, early department doings, and items of our city’s over-all early history. The moving for our divi- sion required the packing, marking, and unpacking, after moving of approximately 40,000 plans. The final refiling of these has not yet to date been accomplished.

Administrative Section
The Administrative Section under the direction of the Division Engineer and the supervision of the Administra- tive Assistant performed the required administrative and clerical functions of the division.
Processing and maintenance of division records per- taining to personnel, correspondence, indexing, filing, etc., were some of the duties performed by this section. Also typing, proofreading, and collating all stencils for contract books for all divisions of the department. Preparation of annual and other reports. Mimeograph- ing all stencil work for the department. In addition recorded and processed plot plans numbering approxi- mately 160 submitted by the Building Department.
On November 20, 1968, the division moved into New City Hall. The moving of the Administrative Section files and records, etc., took place with a minimum of interruption to the routine of the division.
In addition the Administrative Assistant calculated and estimated all betterments and assessments levied for roadways, sidewalks, and sewers in the city of which there were approximately 850 parcels. The Administra- tive Assistant also assisted the Division Engineer at Public Improvement Commission Hearings.
Engineering Record Section
During 1968 this section furnished street line informa- tion, grade information, and plan information on ap- proximately eleven hundred and seventy-five streets to private engineers and surveyors. Checked approxi- mately seventy-five new Land Court plans for street line information and also received and reviewed approxi- mately fifty decree plans for the Land Court.
Furnished information to various departments and agencies, including the Law Department, Building De- partment, Highway Division, Sewer and Water Divisions, Public Facilities Department, Assessing Department, Fire Department, Police Department, BRA, Common- wealth of Massachusetts, Real Property Board, and the Department of the Navy.

South Cove Project R-92
Fenway Urban Renewal Project . . R-115
South End Project R-56
Charlestown Urban Renewal Project Mass. . R-55
Central Business District South Station Area R-82C Campus High School Project .... R-129
Most of above projects being in the checking stage for street layout.
Had fifteen meetings with engineers and surveyors on various projects.
During the course of the year, received fourteen sub- poenas to furnish plans and information that was pre- sented to Suffolk, Middlesex, and Norfolk Courts.
As moving Coordinator for the Engineering Division, planned the moving of equipment, 40,000 plans, files, etc., from the Old City Hall to the New City Hall. The work of the Reproduction Unit of this section was as follows:
Planning and Programming Section
The Planning and Programming Section of the Engi- neering Division, under the general direction of the Division Engineer, compiled the programs of public works construction that the City of Boston was to carry out in 1968.
On the basis of citizens’ petitions, complaints, depart- mental information and field inspections, this section selected and programmed the city’s public works for 1968. These programs compiled by the Planning and Program- ming Section set in motion the survey work, the prepara- tion of plans, specifications and finally, the construction of the city’s public works projects. This involved the reconstruction of 12 miles of streets, the construction of Yz mile of new streets, the laying or relaying of 3 miles of water pipe and the replacement or extension of 2 miles of sewers.

While on the subject of reporting the activities of the Planning and Programming Section it is appropriate to pay tribute to a fine gentleman and capable engineer, the former head of Planning and Programming, Paul Ford, who retired last September and died in December.
The Planning and Programming section along with its primary responsibility of preparing the program for the Public Works Department for the current year, also had the responsibility of receiving, verifying, and processing all of the urban renewal projects that require Public Works Department decisions. There are approximately twelve active urban renewal projects and work has been progressing in most areas. Following is a breakdown of work reviewed for these project areas and acted upon by this section.
Waterfront Project Mass. R-77
Site Preparation, Contract B (Seawall and Embank- ment, East India Row), consisting in part, the construc- tion of a new granite seawall between India and Central Wharves, the construction of a roadway embankment for the first stage of a proposed roadway called East India Row and for the site of the Harbor Towers Complex.
Washington Park Project Mass. R-2U
Public Works contracts in Washington park are under the control and supervision of the Public Works Depart- ment rather than the BRA.
The work reviewed and completed in this project area was Highway Construction of a portion of Washington Park Boulevard and complete reconstruction of twenty- one other streets.
Charlestown Project Mass. R-55
Contracts reviewed and completed by the BRA in this area totaled 27 streets reconstructed and 16 re- surfaced.
16
City Document No. 18
South Cove Project Mass. R-92
The Bay Village area of the South Cove project pro- duced an unusual accomplishment due to the early American motif planned for the streets. Colonial gas lights and brick sidewalks were installed. This section assisted in this work by reviewing the plans for streets and lighting.
South End Mass. R-56
Three contracts concerning recreational facilities were reviewed and verified relative to their impact on our public works.
Among other duties performed in this section was the reviewing of 131 plot plans, which required checking of grades before submission to the Building Department.
Developers who intend to install new streets in their projects must prepare the necessary approval plans and submit them to this section for processing and approval. Nineteen hundred and sixty-eight was a lean year for this work since only five approval plans were reviewed.
Proposed driveway opening plans are also reviewed by this section for feasibility.
Survey Section
The Survey Section of the Engineering Division, under the direction of the Associate Civil Engineer, originated all field engineering surveys and related activities required for the determination and recording of engineering data, measurements, calculations, sketches, and other informa- tion needed in connection with:
(a) The laying out, locating, relocating, design and construction, reconstruction, alteration or discontinuance of streets and street improvements, including sidewalks, bridges, storm drains, sewer, water, and other related facilities in the City of Boston.
Public Works Department
17
( b ) Special survey requirements of the City of Boston in general, including the acquisition by the city of land by eminent domain; and taking of easements; the con- struction of municipal buildings and structures ; the inter- departmental transfer, sale or development of city-owned land; and the furnishing of survey and engineering data in matters of concern to the City of Boston as required or related to construction programs and other activities under the jurisdiction of other municipal, state, federal, or private agencies or authorities ; including services to consultants or contractors engaged by these agencies or authorities.

City Document No. 18
HIGHWAY DIVISION
The Highway Division is charged with the responsibility of construction, reconstruction, care, control, and mainte- nance of all highways; the street cleaning activities of the city; the construction and care and maintenance of bridges and the street lighting program. Supervision of snow removal is also a function of this division.
The method of financing the highway construction pro- gram is diversified. Funds for the so-called “Chapter 90” program are obtained in part from the proceeds of the fees from which the Commonwealth’s highway fund is composed. This work is under the direction and control of the State Department of Public Works, with the high- ways remaining city streets after completion of the con- tracts. In 1968, the sum of $630,691 was contributed by the state and a like amount was contributed by Boston for the “Chapter 90” program.
The so-called “393 streets” are highways constructed under the basic highway statute (Chapter 393 of the Acts of 1906), as most recently amended. Funds for this pro- gram and for the construction of stone, block, brick, cement concrete, bituminous concrete, bituminous mac- adam or other permanent pavement of similar lasting character, are obtained by the issuance of a Public Ways Loan under authority of Chapter 44, Section 7, Para- graph 5, of the General Laws, augmented by several accelerated highway acts, which provide funds to the cities and towns, for use under the terms set forth above under Chapter 44, Section 7, Paragraph 5.
In 1968, expenditures under the Public Ways Loan amounted to $4,029,695. Accelerated highway act of 1962, $29,912; 1963, $42,112; 1965, $84,457, and 1967, $305,670. Under the Bridge Loan there was an expendi- ture of $748,490. Under the Sidewalk Loan there was an expenditure of $166,011.
The sum of $1,203,615 was expended for snow removal, resulting in a deficit of $443,615, plus an expenditure of $99,974 for snow equipment.
The expenditures on the seven tidewater bridges amounted to $495,589.93. There were 8,189 openings by
Public Works Department
19
the five drawbridges at a cost of approximately $60 per opening. Total expenditures on inland bridges amounted to $49,033.14.
Three contracts for street cleaning were let in 1968, to clean parts of District 1; the North End and Market Area; and the Charlestown District at a cost of $681,- 611.76. The balance of the city is cleaned by depart- mental forces.
A street lighting contract in the amount of $45,560 was let during the year. The balance of the work of the Street Lighting Section consists of lighting studies sub- sequent orders for installations by the Boston Edison Company.
SANITARY DIVISION Administrative Section Program 1 — Administration
The activities of the Administrative Section com- prised supervising the various functions and operations of the division, the preparation of all contracts, the proc- essing of payments, the processing of reports, corre- spondence, violation notices and complaints (complaints were written, telephoned, and in person), the compilation of inspector’s reports and daily reports on the Collection and Disposal Sections’ performances, investigating and processing applications for permits for the transportation of refuse, the preparation of the budget, and the super- vision of the Snow Emergency Center.
During the year the following changes were made in personnel: On July 8, 1968, John F. Flaherty returned as Division Engineer after leaving his post as Commis- sioner of Public Works. Ransom W. Stiles, Principal Civil Engineer, retired on March 31, 1968, and passed away on August 31, 1968. Charles T. Dinneen was permanently promoted to Principal Civil Engineer, re- placing Mr. Stiles, on May 1, 1968. Stephen J. Clegg, Clerk, was transferred on March 4, 1968, to the Central Office Personnel Section as Principal Clerk-Typist. Maxine Pratt transferred from the Engineering Division on April 15, 1968, and was made a Senior Clerk and
20
City Document No. 18
Stenographer on September 4, 1968. Jeremiah Connolly, Supervisor of Sanitation, was promoted on November 20, 1968, to the position of Superintendent of Sanitation. Bernard G. Donnelly who had been Acting Superin- tendent since the death of James F. Kane in 1967 re- turned to his duties as Supervisor of Sanitation in Area 2.
The Sanitary Division moved into the New City Hall on November 19, 1968. The office layout and building facilities are very pleasing to all the personnel.
Collection Section
Program 2 — Refuse Collection Contracts
Refuse Collection Contracts were awarded in all eleven of the contract districts as a result of publicly advertised bids, the work commencing on April 1, 1968. These one- year contracts have renewal options for a second and a third year. The contract prices increased considerably over those of the past year, due in part to wage increases and increase in services to be provided. The total ex- penditure in 1968 for refuse collection contracts amounted to $3,849,525.93 an increase of $1,356,000 over 1967. A total of 295,288 tons of refuse was collected during the year.
Program 3 — Lot Cleaning
The Lot Cleaning Crew was organized in 1967 com- prising one foreman, two inspectors, one special heavy motor equipment operator, 6 motor equipment operators, and eighteen laborers using one bulldozer, two frontend loaders, and six dump trucks for the cleaning of vacant lots throughout the city.
All littered vacant lots in the city were cleaned at least once and many lots were cleaned several times during the year for a total of 4,069 lots. Scheduled periodic clean- ing of all lots is now in progress.
Program 4 — Alley Cleaning
The Alley Cleaning program in the South End and lower Roxbury districts was continued during the year and is responsible for keeping the littering of these alleys within reasonable bounds. Approximately 2,299 tons of debris and garbage was removed from the alleys dur- ing 1968.
Public Works Department
21
Program 5 — Litter Baskets
Three hundred pole-type baskets were requisitioned in April but not delivered by the Purchasing Division prior to the end of the year to replace badly damage and pilfered baskets. Consequently very few pole baskets were in- stalled at new locations. Over 890 pole-type baskets are located throughout the city, principally where there are accumulations of pedestrian litter. Also requisitioned but not delivered were 1,000 anti-litter “Hey look, We’re Getting Boston Clean” signs silk-screened on 5 x 7-inch aluminum plates to replace the “Town Crier” type. All baskets were emptied by the refuse collection contractors on Mondays except in the Boston Proper district where they were emptied on the regular collection days. A departmental night litter basket detail, using three packer-type trucks and eight men, emptied every basket nightly, Tuesday through Saturday. This crew is under the supervision of an Inspector who also directs the pick- up of dead animals.
Program 6 — Market Cleaning
Under this program, the division provides two packer- type trucks on Fridays and Saturdays servicing pushcart peddlers and storekeepers in the Market area in the vicinity of Blackstone street, removing approximately 2,080 tons of refuse during the year and depositing it at the South Bay incinerator.
Program 7 — Abandoned Vehicles
The abandoning of automobiles in the city has been reduced considerably. The new shredding plan in Everett plus the increased price of scrap iron contributed greatly to the reduction in the number of cars and the cost for the removal and disposal of derelict vehicles. Many abandoned cars continue to be removed from the streets by persons unknown probably because a profit can now be made in their disposal. Some junk dealers are evi- dently increasing their business by taking these vehicles from streets and vacant lots. Two hundred forty-six vehicles were removed at a contract cost of $566.70.
22
City Document No. 18
Program 8 — Cleanup Campaign
The Spring Cleanup Campaign was conducted in the spring of 1968. The liaison between the department and the various civic groups was maintained by personnel from the Mayor’s Office and the Office of Public Service. Hundreds of tons of debris (placed on the sidewalk by residents conducting basement, attic, and backyard cleanouts) were removed by the contractors and by the division’s labor forces. One hundred thirty-nine large 25-cubic yard containers and eleven smaller 8-cubic yard containers were placed in various locations designated by civic organizations for use in the local cleanup efforts. The providing and servicing of these containers was done under contract.
Program 9 — Enforcement and Education
The uniformed Sanitation Inspectors continued ringing doorbells and notifying violators of the barrel ordinance to supply the required number of receptacles to provide for the maximum amount of refuse generated at their addresses.
To supplement the work of the Uniformed Sanitation Inspectors we used the slogan, “Hey Look, We’re Getting Boston Clean” in the spring anti-litter campaign. All departmental vehicles were posted on both sides with signs featuring this motif.
Over 10,000 violation notices were issued by these inspectors and the results of their efforts were readily evident in the areas in which they worked by the re- duction of litter and the increase in the number of new barrels.
Disposal Section Program 10 — South Bay Incinerator
The South Bay incinerator received and disposed of a total of 143,429 tons of refuse during the year.
Maintenance work performed under contract is listed below as follows:
1. Renewed the grate on No. 6 furnace and installed a water cooled beam (front grate support beam).
2. Installed a new ash quenching system on all six furnaces.
Public Works Department
23
3. Installed a new heating system in the ash tunnel.
4. Installed a new electric signal system for the charging of furnaces.
5. Existing refractories were repaired at a cost of
$10,000.
6. Installed three new ash gates on No. 1 furnace.
During the year our resubmitted application for a Demonstration Grant under the Solid Waste Disposal Act for the erection of a shredding mill and a water wall continuous feed furnace with electrostatic precipitator was rejected by Health Education and Welfare and it now appears that the chance of construction moneys for these proposed improvements will not be forthcoming from the federal government. The work we proposed to do under the grant has in part been approved in at least two major cities and the information we will obtain from these municipalities regarding the preprocessing of refuse in a shredding mill prior to burning, may result in a future recommendation from this division to adapt the South Bay incinerator to this new method of burning.
Steam generated from the burning of refuse was used for providing heat and hot water in the incinerator.
Steam was not transmitted to the City Hospital during the year. The division recommends that this program should not be reactivated and that out efforts be con- centrated on the reduction of refuse rather than the production of steam.
Program 11 — Gardner Street Sanitary Landfill
One hundred twenty-eight thousand, six hundred and ninety-three tons of cover material were purchased from a contractor who trucked it to the dump site where it was used to cover the initial layer of incinerator residue, completing the program of a sanitary landfill operation.
During 1968 we did not receive a single complaint from residents of the West Roxbury area regarding the Gardner Street sanitary landfill operation. A total of 195,128 tons of rubbish was received and disposed of at the site during the year.
We submitted an application to the State Department of Natural Resources in May and received approval in
24
City Document No. 18
November for relocating Brook Farm Brook. This brook which now meanders through the middle of the Gardner Street sanitary landfill will be moved to the westerly limits of the city-owned land. This will provide a con- siderable increase in dumping capacity at this site.
Once again we report that the life of the landfill is very limited and therefore it is urgently recommended that initial action is now essential for the construction of a second incinerator. It appears that the city is now in a squeeze between the length of life of the landfill and the present lack of an alternate method of disposing of the re- fuse from six collection districts of the city.
Program 12 — Garbage Disposal
On April 1, the city entered into contracts with Kristoff Brothers for removing garbage delivered to the Victory Road Transfer Station and with the Kennedy Brothers for removing garbage delivered to Gardner Street Transfer Station. Both of these contracts were awarded at the bid price of $1,300 per month. Approximately 4,970 tons of garbage was transferred at Gardner Street and 3,380 tons at Victory Road.
Snow Removal
The Snow Emergency Center finished its seventh season of operation at the Civil Defense Office located in the Fire Department Headquarters building during the winter of 1967-1968 under the direction of the Deputy Commissioner. The Sanitary Division continued to supply personnel that were the backbone of this operation. The assignment of sanding and snowplowing in the Main Routes 3 District was capably handled by Sanitary Division Personnel.
Snowfall
Snowfall amounting to over 4 inches occurred as follows : January 7, 6.6 inches; January 25, 6.1 inches, total for the month amounted to 17.7 inches. In February, total snowfall totaled only 3.4 inches with no snowfall greater than 1.9 inches. Total snowfall for March amounted to 6.8 inches, with no snowfall greater than 4 inches. Snow- fall in November amounted to .4 inch and 5.1 inches in December produced by seven storms.

SEWER DIVISION Organization of the Division
The Sewer Division is comprised of three sections, viz. ; Administrative, Maintenance, and Construction, under the direction of a Division Engineer.
The Administrative Section, under the direction of an Administrative Assistant, is responsible for the prepara- tion of budgetary requirements; maintenance of time records of personnel; presenting receiving notices and warrants for service orders and purchase requirements, to the Central Office of the Department for Processing; all correspondence received in and emanating from the division; processing of estimates for payment of contract work; keeping records pertaining to the Sewerage Works Loan Account; furnishing information relative to depart- ment policy as determined by directives, orders, and ordinances; and processing of abatements in connection with the sewer use charge.
The Maintenance Section, under the direction of an Associate Engineer, is charged with cleaning of sewers and sewer appurtenances; answering and investigating complaints relating to sewerage works; maintaining and repairing sewers; inspecting the laying of drains; oper- ation of pumping stations and disposal plant; recording complaints; recording sewer inspections; keeping record plans of the entire sewerage system; and furnishing in- formation to the public.
The Construction Section, under the direction of an Associate Engineer, is responsible for the entire building operations of sewerage works under contracts, from the field layouts through the final inspections; preparation of estimates for payment on all work performed for the Sewer Division, under contracts; and furnishing record plans of work for the sectional plans maintained by the Maintenance Section.
On November 22, 1968, the Sewer Division main office moved to its new location in the New City Hall, Room 717.
Early this year the first comprehensive plan made in this century for the elimination of pollution due to waste
26
City Document No. 18
waters in the City of Boston was completed and accepted by the city. This plan was the result of an investigation for the Sewer Division by Camp, Dresser and McKee, Consulting Engineers, Boston, Mass., begun on Febru- ary 10, 1966, and paid for at a cost of $221,220.28 from an interest-free loan granted by HUD (Housing and Urban Development), to the city. Four principal alternative methods for pollution elimination were studied, viz.: (1) Complete separation of all sanitary sewerage and storm drainage systems; (2) construction of chlorination detention tanks; (3) construction of surface holding- tanks, and (4) construction of the Deep Tunnel Plan. Method (4), the Deep Tunnel Plan, proved to be the most efficient and least costly, and was therefore recom- mended by the consultants.
The Deep Tunnel Plan will involve the construction of deep rock storage tunnels, shafts, transmission tunnels, surface connections, a main pumping station located in Deer Island, and an ocean outfall with diffusers. With this method, all flows of sewage and storm water may be disposed of well off-shore into the Atlantic Ocean and thereby eliminate the pollution of Boston Harbor and adjacent waters. The cost of the above method is estimated to be about 496 million dollars, of which Boston’s share would be about 300 million dollars.
It is obvious that such vast construction could not be accomplished overnight but would take many years of partial construction projects to accomplish the end in view, even if the millions of dollars required were at hand. Therefore, an initial construction program has been sug- gested as follows: —
1. Main Intercepter and Tributory Con- duits $15,050,000
2. South Boston Pollution Control Con- duit 15,400,000
3. East Side Intercepter .... 7,400,000
Total Cost $37,850,000
The initial construction programs are designed to com- plement the Deep Tunnel Plan.
Public Works Department
27
If present percentages of state and federal grants are maintained, and if these grants are made, the cost to the city for the initial program would be about $20,800,000. This would result in an annual increase in the property tax of 99 cents.
On April 22, 1968, the third major collapse since 1962 of a section of the main intercepter occurred in Massa- chusetts avenue. This repair was not completed until October 30, 1968, and the cost was $155,461.83. During the rebuilding of the damaged portions of the conduit great inconvenience was caused to the public inasmuch as traffic had to be detoured. Even now the center strip of Massachusetts avenue is barricaded so that no traffic will bear on the intercepter, thus cutting down the flow of traffic considerably. The total cost of rebuilding the collapsed sections of the intercepter to date has been $439,238.90.
From this history of the hazardous condition of the main intercepter, and potential repair costs, all efforts will be made to proceed with phase (1) of the initial con- struction program as outlined above, which calls for abandonment of the existing main intercepter and the building of a new smaller intercepter in a different location.

WATER DIVISION
The operation and management of the Water Division is channeled through four sections: Administrative, Construction, Maintenance, and Revenue.
All pipes and appurtenances for supplying potable water to the approximate 93,000 customers are under the control, care and maintenance of this division, as are the hydrants and supply for ordinary fire extinguishment. The source of supply is the Metropolitan District Commission. The charge for water to the member cities and towns is fixed by legislative enactment at $120 per million gallons, a sum insufficient to meet operating expenses. In 1968, Roston required 129,176,300 gallons per day or approximately 210 gallons per capita. The cost to the consumer is one cent for twenty-five gallons.
Water is distributed by the division by gravity. Water is also supplied by the two High Pressure Pumping Stations operated by the Fire Department in the high-valuation section of mercantile Boston.
Relocation of the Water Division was made from Old City Hall Annex to the New City Hall on November 21 and 22, 1968, with no confusion or interruption of service to the public.
MDC Water Assessment
The Metropolitan District Commission’s assessment for 1968 will amount to $5,673,420.96 for 47,278,508,000 gallons of water, at the rate of one hundred and twenty (120) dollars per million gallons.
Employees
The number of permanent employees with the Water Divi- sion on December 31, 1968, was 275, as compared to a total of 271 on December 31, 1967.
.Administrative Section
All of the important clerical and administrative functions of the Water Division are performed by the Administrative Section. This section assists the Division Engineer in the prep- aration of annual budget estimates and requests, and prepares correspondence, reports, memoranda and notices; receives requests and prepares overtime authorizations and furnishes information to the public regarding this division’s activities and regulations. The Administrative Section is staffed by one Administrative Assistant, one Senior Clerk-Stenographer, and one Senior Clerk-Typist.

Business Unit
The processing of all functions in relation to the revenue from water supply and service is the responsibility of this office. These functions include the processing of applications for new services and fire pipes, the reading of more than 93,000 accounts quarterly and/ or semi-annually, requesting the testing, installa- tion or removal of meters, and the handling of complaints or inquiries concerning charges rendered. Water Division gross receipts amounted to $9,475,471.06 in 1968.
Employees of the Business Unit answer inquiries from the public regarding the sewer use charge.
The Business Unit processes and resolves all petitions for abatement, including those petitions for abatement of the sewer use charge, when said charge is directly related to water consumption. Sewer use charge petitions, when of a technical nature, are resolved by the Sewer Division. The number of partial abatements of metered water rates granted in 1968 was 899 amounting to $71,086.66.
Construction Section
The Construction Section consisted of one Senior Civil En- gineer, one Assistant Civil Engineer (temporary), two Senior Engineering Aids (temporary), six Water Service Inspectors and one Principal Clerk. One Principal Civil Engineer is re- quired to bring the Construction Section to full strength.
The following work was accomplished during the year: 527 domestic services were made; 74 fire pipes connected; 150 hydrants established; 115 changed, and 126 abandoned for a new increase of 126.
During the year, a total of 23,541 linear feet of main pipe was laid or relaid, varying in size from 4 inches to 16 inches.
Main Projects
The Water Division received a federal grant of $900,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment for the construction of two 36-inch trunk water mains in Charlestown and Dorchester; a contract was awarded to Consulting Engineers to provide information, plans and specifications for the construction and instal- lation of the aforesaid water mains.
A contract was awarded for the purchase of 50 high pressure fire hydrants to be manufactured in accordance with plans and specifications revised in 1968 by this division.
30
City Document No. 18
In 1968, 4,125 water meters in various sizes were pur- chased. The Water Division set approximately 6,800 water meters in 1968.
The cleaning and cement lining of 14,700 linear feet of water mains (8 inches, 12 inches, 16 inches, and 24 inches) has been completed in Charlestown under BRA contract. Also, 33 new water gates in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 24 inches have been installed replacing exist- ing gates, and 5,400 feet of new domestic service pipe have been installed in Charlestown replacing old and/or defective water service pipe.

These yards are responsible for the repair and mainte- nance of main pipes, service and fire pipes, hydrants, gates and providing emergency and general service to the public. The main yard at 710 Albany street maintains emergency crews around the clock for any water service that may be required in any section of the city.
The main yard and two area yards were assisted by three contractors. The contractual work consisted of excavation and backfilling to allow Water Division em- ployees to repair leaks, lay or relay water services, change hydrants and repair or replace defective appurtenances. This contractual work was performed in a satisfactory manner and is of value in providing service to the public.
The Maintenance Shops handled all drilling of services in the main yard and assisted, in case of emergency, in the area yards. These shops repair defective hydrants, defective gates (in the ground, if possible) and rebuild corporation, tapping and high pressure gates. Along with this work, the Maintenance Shops render assistance to other branches of the Public Works Department in many special jobs. The Meter Shop installs new large

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PURLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT For the Year Ending December 31, 1969
Roston, January 2, 1970.
Hon. Kevin H. White,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear Mr. Mayor:
In compliance with the provisions of section 25 of chapter 3 of the Revised Ordinances of 1961, 1 respectfully submit the annual report of the Public Works Department.
As required by section 36 of chapter 21 of the Revised Ordinances of 1961, I am also submitting the annual report of the Public Improvement Commission.
Recause the workings of the department are such that its every move is in the public eye, it is imperative that this department operate as economically and efficiently as possible. The operation of the department is through a Central Office and five divisions. Each division is in charge of a Division Engineer, who is an expert in his particular field. The following are the functions of the Public Works Department: the construction, reconstruc- tion of highways and sidewalks, street lighting, snow removal, sewerage and drainage construction and mainte- nance, distribution of potable water and the maintenance of necessary components, sanitation, street cleaning, removal and disposal of refuse and garbage, incineration,
6
City Document No. 18
and the cleaning of catch basisns. The engineering requirements to carry on the above programs are by departmental employees, assisted by contract experts.
Delegation of authority within the department is as follows :
Central Office
There are four sections in the Central Office — an Administrative Branch, a Maintenance Branch, and a Permit Branch.
The Administrative Branch processes purchase and supply requisitions, service orders, payrolls, personnel requisitions, transfers, promotions, and terminations.
The Maintenance Branch was established February 8, 1960, by the consolidation of the Automotive Section and the Bepair Shop, formerly in the Sanitary Division. This branch is responsible for the care, control, and maintenance of departmental vehicles. It is also in charge of the public utility facilities in the various yards and serves as a housekeeping unit.
Communication Center
The department maintains a Communication Center consisting of a main base station radio, linkage by closed circuit teletype system with ten highway yards, and the central snow removal office at City Hall. Departmental mobile units are radio equipped.
During the year automotive equipment amounting to an expenditure of $368,288.97 was purchased for the department.
Contract Section
One of the more important functions of the Administra- tive branch is the Contract Section. Here approximately 130 contracts involving all facets of public works are processed. The volume of these contracts amounts to expenditures of about $16,000,000 per annum. The work is extremely technical as there must be strict compliance with the general laws, ordinances, and special laws pertaining to the city. Upon execution of contracts, copies of periodical estimates, extensions of time, and extra work orders are processed and filed.

Fiscal
There was carried over from 1968 the amount of $11,778,412. Appropriations for 1969 amounted to $26,573,038. Revenue received amounted to $12,439,056, making the amount available $50,790,506. A total of $554,072 was transferred to other departments, leaving a balance of $50,236,434.
Expenditures amounted to $39,501,405, leaving an unexpended balance of $10,735,089 and unliquidated encumbrance and carry forward of $6,895,250, and a net unencumbered balance of $3,839,839.
The Water Division operated with a deficit of $2,223,606 and the Sewer Division operated with a deficit of $1,086,672.
Revenue from the sale of water amounted to $8,922,220 and expenditures amounted to $10,817,736.
The sewer deficit is quite serious. The metropolitan assessment has been reduced by 52 percent until the Boston main drainage system is connected to the metro- politan system.
There was available for snow removal the sum of $2,375,000 as a 1969 appropriation. Expenditures amounted to $2,302,977.
Loans were authorized in 1969 for the following amounts: public ways loan — $4,000,000, sewerage loan — $1,500,000, bridge loan — $2,000,000.
The public ways loan of $4,000,000 was augmented by $2,412,475 carried forward plus Chapter 90 revenue of $249,071 for a total of $6,661,546. Expenditures amounted to $2,980,910, encumbered contracts carried forward to 1970 were $2,289,856, and the unencumbered balance was $1,390,840.
The sewerage loan of $1,500,000 was augmented by $1,982,105, carried forward for a total of $3,482,105. Expenditures were $1,497,253, encumbered contracts carried forward to 1970 were $956,021, and the unen- cumbered balance was $1,028,831.
The bridge loan of $2,000,000 was augmented by a carry forward of $777,552 for a total of $2,777,552. Expenditures amounted to $501,603, contracts carried forward to 1970 were $322,246, leaving an unencumbered balance of $1,953,603.

City Document No. 18
The amount of $1,523,519 was brought forward from 1968 sidewalk loan. Expenditures amounted to $476,173, encumbered contracts carried forward were $288,867, leaving unencumbered blance of $758,479.
The amount of $2,300,000 was brought forward from the 1968 water main loan. Expenditures amounted to $459,205, encumbered contracts amounted to $1,082,494, leaving an unencumbered balance of $758,301.
Funds were available under the several accelerated highway programs created by chapter 782 of 1962, chapter 882 of 1963, chapter 679 of 1965, and 616 of 1966.
Chapters 782, 822, and 679 had balances respectively of $21,540, $56,519, and $161,281 with no expenditures in 1969. Chapter 616 had $1,122,141 available with expenditures of $820,907, encumbered contracts of $298,724, and an unencumbered balance of $2,510.
A summary of 1969 appropriations, expenditures, etc. is included in the statistical data appended to this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph F. Casazza, Commissioner of Public Works .

ENGINEERING DIVISION
The annual report of the Engineering Division of the City of Boston Public Works Department for the year 1969 rounds out a decade of such reports which began when this division w as originated as part of the reorgani- zation of the department in 1960.
A review of the amount and dollar value of the high- way, sewer, and water projects advertised during the year shows a fairly close total, money-wise, compared to the two previous years, but the amount accomplished as being substantially less. This clearly reflects the very sharp increased cost of producing public works projects and is pinpointed by examining the contract bid prices on in- dividual items. These have averaged a 10 percent in- crease in highway work and over 20 percent in sewer and water work over the short space of one year.
A special effort was made last year to get out contracts for a substantial number of sidewalk improvements of streets which had good roadways but poor sidewalks.
Following is a listing of certain items of more than routine interest :
1. The completion of the brick sidew alk-gaslit Charles Street, City Proper project, from Beacon Street to the Charles Street Circle. This work, which had its start late in 1968, has emphasized and enhanced the colonial charm of the area.
2. The start of the reconstruction of roadways and relocation of MBTA reservation in Commonwealth Ave- nue, Brighton, between Chestnut Hill Avenue and Newton which, upon completion, will provide an inbound road- way separated from the outbound roadway by the re- located reservation, and will complete the divided high- way design of Commonwealth Avenue.
3. Concurrent with the near completion of the Copley Square Mall and fountain area the work of installing the specially designed and lighted periphery sidewalk area was accomplished.
4. In the new food market area adjacent to South- ampton Street, enough sewer and water roadway activities were completed to allow the occupation of the new build- ings to take place and the polishing off of these public works items is scheduled for early spring.
10
City Document No. 18
5. Completion of layouts for a new west boundary service road off Washington Street, West Roxbury, was accomplished, Metropolitan District Commission ap- proval of plans was given, and public hearings for this service road to the adjacent new residential areas will follow early in 1970.
6. Finally, the Code-Enforcement Community Public Improvement program was resurrected, replanned, and a firm program for 1970 established through the combined liaison of the Public Works, Fire, Traffic, and Police De- partment — all working in coordination with the Housing Inspection Department.
Summary
During 1969 the following projects were originated, surveyed, designed, estimated and advertised. In areas not connected with urban renewal these projects were developed entirely within the division whereas the urban renewal projects were mainly prepared by consultants working for the department with the function of this division relative to this phase of the work being limited to outlining, reviewing, supervising, and approving their work.

Administrative Section
The Administrative Section under the direction of the Division Engineer and the supervision of the Adminis- trative Assistant performed the required administrative and clerical functions of the division.
Processed and maintained division records pertaining to personnel, correspondence, indexing, filing, etc. Also typed, proofread, and collated stencils for contract books for all divisions of the department. Typed annual and other reports. Supervised all mimeographing of stencil work for the department. In addition indexed and proc- essed 120 plot plans which were forwarded by the Build- ing Department for our review before they granted per- mits for construction.
Also processed contract payments to various consulting firms for work in Washington Park, Government Center, the west boundary service road and Foodmart Road.
In addition the head of this section computed all bet- terments and assessments required for roadways, side- walks, and sewers in the city. There were approximately 700 parcels of this nature. The Administrative Assistant also assisted the Division Engineer at Public Improve- ment Commission hearings, and in all cases of appeals for abatements of betterments or assessments he re- viewed the merits of the appeals and made reports rela- tive to these to the Division Engineer for submittal to the Public Improvement Commission.
Engineering Record Section
During 1969 this section furnished street line informa- tion, grade information, and plan information on approxi- mately 2,000 streets to engineers, surveyors, lawyers, and the general public.
Furnished information to various departments and agencies, including the Highway, Sewer, and Water Divi- sions of the Public Works Department. Also, to the Law. Police, and Fire Departments, the Boston City Hospital, the Building Department, the Assessor’s office, the Mayor’s office, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Attorney General’s office, the Port Author- ity, Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, MBTA, Long Island Hospital, Real Property Department, MDC,

Planning and Programming
All 1969 projects for street, sewer, and water works, etc. were screened for possible clashing or overlapping with plans for urban renewal, State Expressway, MBTA, and other public and private projects of proposed construc- tion.
For the year 1969, public works amounting to $12,500,- 000 were checked for feasibility and were programmed by this section. These projects included 1.5 miles of new street construction, 28 miles of street reconstruction, 13 miles of sewer construction, and 1 mile of water mains. Approximately only one-half of this planned amount was advertised because of limitations of money and man- power.
In addition to above listed normal activities, this sec- tion worked closely with the BRA in reviewing, and supervising reviewing by other sections of the depart- ment, approximately $4,000,000 of proposed BRA proj- ects involving highway, sewer, and water works.
All public works contracts in Washington Park and sewer and water contracts in Government Center were under the direct control and supervision of the Public Works Department, and in these two project areas a total of approximately $1,600,000 was advertised.
Other duties included the reviewing of:
1. One hundred plot plans which we had to approve for line and grade and utility availability before the Building Department would grant permits.
2. Ten approval plans submitted by developers for proposed new “minimum pavement” streets.
3. Forty-one plans of proposed commercial driveway openings in public sidewalks.
Survey Section
The Survey Section of the Engineering Division, under the direction of the Associate Civil Engineer, originated all field engineering surveys and related activities re- quired for the determination and recording of engineer- ing data, measurements, calculations, sketches, and other information needed in connection with:
(a) The laying out, locating, relocating, design and construction, reconstruction, alteration or discontinuance
14
City Document No. 18
of streets and street improvements, including sidewalks, bridges, storm drains, sewer, water, and other related facilities in the City of Boston.
(b) Special survey requirements of the City of Boston in general, including the acquisition by the city of land by eminent domain; the taking of easements; the con- struction of municipal buildings and structures; the inter- departmental transfer, sale or development of city- owned land ; and the furnishing of survey and engineering data in matters of concern to the City of Boston as re- quired or related to construction programs and other activities under the jurisdiction of other municipal, state, federal or private agencies or authorities — including services to consultants or contractors engaged by these agencies or authorities.
HIGHWAY DIVISION
The Highway Division is charged with the responsi- bility of construction, reconstruction, care, control, and maintenance of all highways; the street cleaning activities of the city ; the construction and care and maintenance of bridges; and the street lighting program. Supervision of snow removal is also a function of this division.
The method of financing the highway construction program is diversified. Funds for the so-called “Chapter 90” program are obtained in part from the proceeds of the fees from which the commonwealth’s highway fund is composed. This work is under the direction and con- trol of the State Department of Public Works, with the highways remaining city streets after completion of the contracts. In 1969, the sum of $249,071 was contributed by the state and a like amount was contributed by Boston for the “Chapter 90” program.
The so-called “393 streets” are highways constructed under the basic highway statute (chapter 393 of the Acts of 1906), as most recently amended. Funds for this pro- gram and the construction of stone, block, brick, cement concrete, bituminous concrete, bituminous macadam, or other permanent pavement of similar lasting character, are obtained by the issuance of a public ways loan under authority of chapter 44, section 7, paragraph 5, of the
Public Works Department
IS
General Laws, augmented by several accelerated highway acts, which provide funds to the cities and towns for use under the terms set forth above under chapter 44, section 7, paragraph 5.
In 1969, expenditures under the public ways loan amounted to $2,980,910. Accelerated highway act of 1967 was $820,907. Under the bridge loan there was an expenditure of $501,603. Under the sidewalk loan there was an expenditure of $476,173.
The sum of $2,302,977 was expended for snow removal.
SANITARY DIVISION Administrative Section Program 1 — Administration
The activities of the Administrative Section comprised supervising the various functions and operations of the division, the preparation of all contracts, the processing of payments, the processing of reports, correspondence, violation notices and complaints (complaints were written, telephoned and in person), the compilation of inspectors’ reports and daily reports on the Collection and Disposal Sections’ performances, investigating and processing applications for permits for the transportation of refuse, the preparation of the budget, and the supervision of the Snow Emergency Center.
Collection Section Program 2 — Refuse Collection Contracts
The city exercised its first option in accordance with article 17 of the publicly advertised refuse collection contracts which provided for renewal of contracts effective April 1, 1969. Contracts were renewed with the same refuse collection contractors. Under these contracts the city absorbed 75 percent of the 25 cents per hour wage increase plus 5 cents per hour in health and welfare con- tributions granted to the drivers and helpers starting April 1, 1969. This increased payment to the contractors costs approximately $93,850 for the remainder of the year. The total expenditure in 1969 for refuse collection contracts amounted to $4,325,244. A total of 308,470 tons of refuse was collected during the year.

City Document No. 18
Program 3 — Lot Cleaning
The lot cleaning crew was organized in 1967 for the- cleaning of vacant lots throughout the city. All littered vacant lots in the city were cleaned at least once and many lots were cleaned several times during the year for a total of 4,245 lots. Of these, 110 were requested by the Office of Public Service.
Program 4 — Alley Cleaning
The alley cleaning program in the South End and Lower Roxbury Districts was continued during the year, and is responsible for keeping the littering of these alleys within, reasonable bounds. Approximately 2,766 tons of debris and garbage were removed from the alleys during 1969.
Program 5 — Litter Baskets
Three hundred pole type baskets requisitioned in April of 1968 to replace badly damaged and pilfered baskets were not delivered until October 22, 1969. Consequently very few pole baskets were installed at new locations^ Over 850 pole type baskets are located throughout the city, principally where there are accumulations of pedes- trian litter. All baskets were emptied by the refuse collection contractors on Mondays except in the Boston Proper District where they were emptied on the regular collection days. A departmental night litter basket detail emptied every basket nightly, Tuesday through Saturday. This crew is under the supervision of an inspector who also directs the pickup of dead animals.
Program 6 — Market Cleaning
Under this program, the division provides two packer- type trucks on Fridays and Saturdays servicing pushcart peddlers and storekeepers in the Market Area in the vicinity of Blackstone Street, removing approximately 2,300 tons of refuse during the year and depositing it at the South Bay incinerator.
Program 7 — Abandoned Vehicles
The abandoning of automobiles in the city has been reduced considerably. The new shredding plant in
Public Works Department
17
Everett plus the increased price of scrap iron contributed greatly to the reduction in the number of cars and the cost for the removal and disposal of derelict vehicles. Many abandoned cars continue to be removed from the street by persons unknown probably because a profit can now be made in their disposal. Some junk dealers are evidently increasing their business by taking these vehi- cles from streets and vacant lots. A total of 436 vehicles were removed including 191 vehicles removed by contract at a cost of $776.
Program 8 — Cleanup Campaign
The Spring Cleanup Campaign was conducted in the spring of 1969. The liaison between the department and the various civic groups was maintained by personnel from the Mayor’s Office of Public Service. Hundreds of tons of debris (placed on the sidewalk by residents con- ducting basement, attic and backyard clean outs) were removed by the contractors and by the division’s labor forces. One hundred forty-five large 25-cubic-yard con- tainers and nine smaller 8-cubic-yard containers were placed in various locations designated by civic organiza- tions for use in the local cleanup efforts. The providing and servicing of these containers was done under con- tract.
Program 9 — Enforcement and Education
The uniformed sanitation inspectors continued ringing doorbells and notifying violators of the barrel ordinance to supply the required number of receptacles to provide for the maximum amount of refuse generated at their addresses.
To supplement the work of the uniformed sanitation inspectors we used the slogan, “Litter Costs You Money — Think About It” in the spring anti-litter campaign. All departmental vehicles were posted on both sides with signs featuring this motif.
Over 9,800 violation notices were issued by these in- spectors and the results of their efforts were readily evi- dent in the areas in which they worked by the reduction of litter and the increase in the number of new barrels.

Disposal Section Program 10 — South Bay Incinerator
The South Bay incinerator received and disposed of a total of 137,138 tons of refuse during the year.
Maintenance work performed under contract is listed below as follows :
(1) Installed new instrumentation.
(2) Reactivated fly ash arrestor system, to make tests for consulting engineers, Metcalf & Eddy.
(3) Installed diesel fuel pump to supply diesel equip- ment.
(4) Changed fire lines at westerly end of building and easterly end of dumping floor to prevent freezing.
(5) Installed new electrical ground detection system to prevent motor burn-outs on the cranes.
(6) Installed temporary door to machinery tunnel to control dust.
(7) Changed floor drain system on the dumping floor.
In September it was decided to attempt once more to reactivate the fly ash control and removal apparatus in- stalled during construction of the South Bay incinerator. Operation of this apparatus was terminated during the first year of plant operation because the loss of draft when operating slowed down the refuse burning rate and caused excessive smoking on the stoking and charging floors. Over the past nine years attempts were made to operate this equipment but always with the same nega- tive results.
This attempt was made for two reasons. First, the Public Works Department has received several notices during September and October, 1969, from the Metro- politan Air Pollution Control District citing violations of their Regulation 6 which sets up the limits of density of smoke allowed as measured by the Ringleman Chart. The State Department of Public Health held a hearing on October 15, 1969, and on October 20, 1969, issued an order to the City of Boston to stop violation of Regula- tion 6. The Boston Air Polution Control Commission also requested reactivating this apparatus. Second, the engineering firm of Metcalf & Eddy (designers of the
Public Works Department
19
plant) have been engaged by the Public Facilities De- partment to make a study and submit a report with rec- ommendations as to the fly ash problem at the incinerator and to propose some alternative solutions. It was deemed advisable that as part of this study we determine the present status of the equipment. No report was received prior to December 31, 1969.
Steam generated from the burning of refuse was used for providing heat and hot water in the incinerator building.
Program 11 — Gardner Street Sanitary Landfill
A total of 194,477 tons of rubbish was received and dis- posed of at the site during the year. There were 144,268 tons of cover material purchased from a contractor who trucked it to the dump site where it was used to cover the initial layer of incinerator residue (74,313 tons) com- pleting the program of a sanitary landfill operation.
A publicly advertised contract was awarded to the low bidder Sylvester Ray, Inc. for relocating Brook Farm Brook westerly of its original course in a location abutting the westerly bounds of the city-owned property. A gravel access road was constructed paralleling the brook course and the total cost of the work was $86,036. Relocating this brook will provide us with dumping capacity for ap- proximately two years in the valley of the former brook course.
The capacity of the existing landfill is approaching exhaustion and the need for an alternate disposal facility is urgent. We have requested the State Department of Public Works to provide under chapter 834, Acts of 1969, a solid waste disposal facility that can be used by the City of Boston. Also, we are making preparations to discuss with two cemetery associations, who own marsh land adjacent to our present landfill, the possibility of arriving at an agreement for the placing of rubbish fill on those marsh lands.
Program 12 — Garbage Disposal
The city exercised its first option renewal of the con- tracts with Kristoff Brothers for removing garbage de- livered to the Victory Road Transfer Station and with Kennedy Brothers for removing garbage delivered to the
20
City Document No. 18
Gardner Street Transfer Station commencing on April 1, 1969, at a price of $1,300 per month for each contract. Approximately 4,700 tons of garbage were transferred at Gardner Street and 2,690 tons at Victory Road.
Program 13 — Snow Removal
The Snow Emergency Center finished its eighth season of operation at the Civil Defense Office located in the Fire Department Headquarters building during the winter of 1968-1969 under the direction of the Deputy Commissioner. The Sanitary Division continued to supply personnel that were the backbone of this opera- tion. The assignment of sanding and snowplowing in the Main Routes 3 District was capably handled by Sanitary Division personnel.
SEWER DIVISION
The Sewer Division is composed of three sections; Administrative, Maintenance, and Construction, under the direction of a Division Engineer.
The Administrative Section , under the direction of an Administrative Assistant, is responsible for the prepara- tion of budgetary requirements; maintenance of time records of personnel; presenting receiving notices and warrants for service orders and purchase requirements to the Central Office of the department for processing; all correspondence received in, and emanating from, the division; processing of estimates for payment of contract work; keeping records pertaining to the sewerage works loan account; furnishing information relative to depart- ment policy as determined by directives, orders and ordinances; and processing of abatements in connection with the sewer use charge.
The Maintenance Section , under the direction of an Associate Engineer, is responsible for the cleaning of catch basins, drop inlets, sewers and sewer appurte- nances; answering and investigating complaints relating to sewerage works; maintaining and repairing sewers; inspecting the laying of drains; operation of sewer pump- ing stations and disposal plant; recording complaints re- lating to sewerage works; recording sewer inspections; keeping record plans of the entire sewerage system; and
Public Works Department
21
furnishing information to the public. On April 30, 1969, the cleaning of catch basins and drop inlets was returned to the jurisdiction of the Sewer Division where it had existed prior to June 1, 1960 when this function was transferred to the Highway Division.
The Construction Section , under the direction of an Associate Engineer, is responsible for the entire building operations of sewerage works under contracts, from the field layouts through the final inspections; preparation of estimates for payment on all work performed under sewerage works contracts; and furnishing record plans of sewerage works to the Maintenance Section for updating its sectional plans.
With the completion of the MDC Columbus Park Headworks on February 2, 1968, it was expected that the Calf Pasture Pumping Station would be phased out of operation. However, it became apparent that until further steps were taken by the MDC to accommodate the entire flow of Boston’s sewage, or unless the MDC took over the operation of the Calf Pasture Pumping Station, the station would still have to be maintained by the City of Boston as an operating facility for several more years.
On June 30, 1969, Edward G. A. Powers retired as Division Engineer of the Sewer Division, in which ca- pacity he had served for ten and a half years of his thirty- nine and a half years total city service.
WATER DIVISION
The year 1969 saw the termination of service of three veteran employees. Water Division Engineer, Edward J. Pinkul, retired after more than forty years service ; Super- intendent of Water Distribution, George S. Ryan and Water Revenue Supervisor, John F. Santino, died. The vacancies created in their positions were filled respectively by John P. Sullivan, Associate Civil Engineer, Albert P McCann, Assistant Superintendent of Water Distribution, and Francis J. Bradley, Administrative Assistant.
All pipes and appurtenances for supplying potable water to the city are under the control, care and mainte- nance of this division. Also provided by the Water Division is the water to the two high pressure pumping

99
stations operated by the Fire Department for fire pro- tection in the central business section of the city. The Metropolitan District Commission supplies water to the Boston city line and charges one hundred and twenty dollars per million gallons of water sold to its members. Boston’s requirements for water in 1969 were 136,911,900 gallons of water per day or 222 gallons per capita.
Construction Section
The Construction Section consists of one Senior Civil Engineer, one Junior Civil Engineer, one Senior Engi- neering Aid (temporary), one Senior Engineering Aid, one Junior Engineering Aid, seven Water Service In- spectors and one Head Clerk. One Principal Civil Engineer is required to supervise this section.
The following work was accomplished during the year: 291 new domestic services were made; 51 new fire pipes connected; 137 hydrants established; 86 changed; and 66 abandoned for a net increase of 71 hydrants.
During 1969, a total of 24,734 linear feet of main pipe was laid or relaid, varying in size from 4 inches to 16 inches. The areas in which main pipes were laid or re- laid are subdivided into districts as follows:

Summation
System relaid 4.7 miles and extended 1.4 miles of pipe; it established 137 new hydrants, abandoned 66 hydrants for an increase of 71 hydrants. The Water Division re- places 50 or more old and or defective hydrants, under contract, each year.
Maintenance Section
The Water Division Engineer is currently directing the Maintenance Section which consists of one Junior Engineering Aid (temporary), one Senior Clerk-Stenog- rapher, one Principal Clerk, and, with the aid of the personnel of the Construction Section, assisted in supply- ing official information to the public concerning all hydraulic problems, main pipe and service pipe locations; processed applications for new or enlarged domestic and hre services; maintained official records, plans, and pressure charts, and generally supervised the three Water Division yards. An Associate Civil Engineer and Senior Civil Engineer are required to assume super- vision of this section.
Main Projects
The Water Division executed a contract for the con- struction of a 36-inch trunk water main in Dorchester. A federal grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the amount of $405,300 will be applied to this project. The construction of the trunk main will begin in January of 1970.
In 1969, contracts were awarded for the purchase of 3,676 water meters in various sizes. The Water Division set more than 6,000 water meters in 1969.
There were 27,750 linear feet of water mains (8-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch and 24-inch) cleaned and cement-lined in Charlestown under a contract with the Boston Rede- velopment Authority. The entire distribution system in Charlestown has now been cleaned and cement-lined.
The laying of 1,809 feet of 4-inch steel pipe in the Gardner Street Dump, West Roxbury, was completed.

Area Yards
Area I — 710 Albany Street, Boston
Services: Charlestown, North and West Ends, Back
Bay, Stuart, South End, East Boston, Elm Hill, Dudley, Mission Hill and Boxbury
Area II — 327 Forest Hills Street, Jamaica Plain Services: Jamaica Plain, Brighton, West Roxbury and
Hyde Park
Area III — 160 Hancock Street, Dorchester Services: Dorchester and South Boston
These yards are responsible for the repair and mainte- nance of main pipes, services and fire pipes, hydrants, gates, and providing emergency and general service to the public. The main yard at 710 Albany Street main- tains emergency crews around the clock for any water service that may be required in any section of the city.
The main yard and two area yards were assisted by three contractors. The contractual work consisted of excavation and backfilling to allow Water Division em- ployees to repair leaks, lay or relay water services, change hydrants and repair or replace defective appurtenances.
The maintenance shops handled all drilling of services in the main yard and assisted, in case of emergency, in the area yards. These shops repair defective hydrants, defective gates (in the ground, if possible) and rebuild corporation, tapping, and high pressure gates. Along with this work, the maintenance shops render assistance to other branches of the Public Works Department in many special jobs. The meter shop installs new meters, changes worn and defective meters, tests and repairs water meters, and maintains records of all meters in and out of service. More than forty-three hundred water meters in various sizes were installed by the meter shop during 1969, replacing connection pieces, non-registering water meters, and to meter new accounts.
Administrative Section
All of the important clerical and administrative func- tions of the Water Division are performed by the Ad- ministrative Section. This section assists the Division
Public Works Department
25
Engineer in the preparation of annual budget estimates and requests, and prepares overtime authorization and furnishes information to the public regarding this Di- vision’s activities and regulations. The Administrative Section is currently supervised by the Water Revenue Supervisor and is staffed by two Principal Clerks and Stenographers, one Senior Clerk and Stenographer and two Senior Clerk Typists. An Administrative Assistant is required to assume supervision of this section.
Revenue Section
All functions in relation to the revenue from water supply and service are the responsibility of this office. These functions include the processing of applications for new services and fire pipes, the reading of more than
93.000 accounts quarterly and or semi-annually, request- ing the testing, installation or removal of meters, and the handling of complaints or inquiries concerning charges rendered. Water Division gross receipts amounted to $9,023,621.68 in 1969.
Employees of the Revenue Section answer inquiries from the public regarding the sewer use charge.
The Revenue Section processes and resolves all petitions for abatement, including those petitions for abatement of the sewer use charge, when said charge is directly related to water consumption. Sewer use charge petitions, when of a technical nature, are resolved by the Sewer Division. The number of partial abatements of metered water rates granted in 1969 was 721 amounting to $191,369.40.
MDC Water Assessment
The Metropolitan District Commission’s water assess- ment for 1969 will amount to $5,996,742.12 for 49,972,-
851.000 gallons of water, at the rate of one hundred and twenty dollars per million gallons.
Employees
The number of permanent employees with the Water Division on December 31, 1969, was 262 as compared to a total of 275 on December 31, 1968.

A list of these repair jobs which are performed outside would normally include the below-mentioned :
(a) Radiator repairs
(b) Glass work
(c) Some ignition work (e.g. magnetos, distributors,
etc.)

Communications Center
The purpose of the Communications Center (which is now located in City Hall) is to be in constant contact with the vehicles which are equipped as mobile stations.
58
City Document No. 18
The radio system is designed with three objectives in mind :
1. To furnish the Public Works Department with the best radio communication possible.
2. To increase the efficiency of the Public Works De- partment.
3. To save the taxpayers money by eliminating the needless use of labor time.
The center operates twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. A closed circuit teletype system and base radio station is installed in ten Highway Division yards linking these districts with their vehicles and the central snow removal office at Albany Street. In case of power failure at the main base station the auxiliary unit at Albany Street would be activated. The need for the main base is to provide an overall coverage to the mobile units and the ten stations.
We have been notified of the loss of the Albany Street garage to the Boston Redevelopment Authority. In con- junction with this loss, the Public Works Department has been allocated $4,000,000 for the construction of a new garage at Access Road, Boston.
