Agassiz-^oad Bridge (in Back Bay Fens).
This bridge was built in 1887, of brick and stone masonr}^
It is maintained by the Park Department, and is in good con-
dition.
Albany-street Bridge (over the Boston ^ Albany R.R.^.
The origmal structure was built in 1856-57 and rebuilt in
1867-68. The present bridge was built in 1886-87, and
is maintained in part by the City of Boston, and m part
by the Boston & Albany Railroad. Durmg the past year
all the ironwork of the bridge has been cleaned and painted,
and about one-half of the under-planking has been renewed.
The work of cleaning and painting was done m a satis-
factory manner, excepting the under side of the lower flange
of the floor beams over the main tracks. On account of
the difficulty of doing this work, except from the railroad
tracks, the painting was either omitted entirely or so poorly
done as to be of little value.
12 City Document No. 10.
Allston Bridge (over the Boston ^ Albany R.R.^ Brighton).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1892. The recommendation
made last year that the floor be painted is renewed this year.
Arhorivay Bridge (over Stony Brook., in Parkway^ near Forest
Hills Station).
This is a wooden bridge resting on abutments of vulcan-
ized spruce piles. The strmgers and under-planking are of
vulcanized hard-pme. It was built in 1893, and is main-
tained by the Park Department.
Ashland-street Bridge (over Providence Division^ iV. F., N. H.
^ E. B.R., West Roxhury).
The present structure is of iron, and was built in 1875.
The ironwork is in good condition, but the wooden fences are
very poor, and should be rebuilt at once.
Athens-street Bridge (over New England R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1874. The bridge is in
poor condition ; it should be stripped and painted, and the
upper woodwork should be renewed.
Auduhon-road Bridge (over the Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is a steel-plate girder bridge, built in 1893-94, and is
now in good condition. It is maintained by the Park De-
partment.
Beacon-street Bridge (over Outlet of Back Bay).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1880-81. It is in fair
condition.
Beacon-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1884-85, widened in
1887-88, and the central roadway further widened in 1890
for the convenience and at the expense of the West End
Street Railway Company. The konwork of this bridge
below the flooring is very rusty and the lower planking is
rotten in places. It is recommended that the flooring be
taken off and the ironwork cleaned and painted this year.
Engineering Department. 13
Bellevue-street Bridge (over Muddy Miver, in the Parkway^.
This is a segmental masonry arch of 44 feet span and 15
feet rise. It was built in 1893 by the Park Departments of
Boston and Brookline, and is maintained jointly by them.
Berkeley-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany M.M.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1891, and is now in good
condition. During the past year the portion of this bridge
above the floor has been painted with the exception of the
outside of the outer girders. There is no apparent reason
why this small amount of jDainting was omitted. No perma-
nent railing has as yet been built at the north-easterly corner
of the bridge, and the existing fence cannot be considered a
satisfactory protection.
Berkeley-street Bridge (over Providence Division^ N. T., iV. H.
^ H. B.B.).
This bridge has been reported for a number of years to be
in a bad condition, and only such repairs as seemed abso-
lutely necessary have been made. By continuing this policy,
it is probable that this bridge can be made to last until the
changes mcident to the new southern railroad terminal ren-
der a bridge at this point uimecessary.
Bernier-street Foot-bridge (over Bridle Path in Rivenvay').
This is a semicircular masonry arch of 38 feet 4 inches
span. It was built m 1893, and is maintamed by the Park
Department.
Bernier-street Foot-bridge (over Muddy River^.
This is a segmental masonry arch of 52 feet span and 14
feet rise. It was built in 1893 by the Park Departments of
Boston and Brooklme, and is maintained jointly by them.
Berwick-park Foot-bridge (over Providence Division^ N. Y.^
N. H. ^ H. B.R.).
This is an iron foot-bridge, erected in 1894. The iron
stairs and piers were new, but the trusses and floor-beams
were those built for Franklin street in 1883. It has been
painted during the year and is in good condition.
14 City Document No. 10.
Blalcemore-street Bridge (over Providence Division, N. Y.,
iV: R. ^ H. B.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1881-82. It should be
painted and the woodwork repaired.
Bolton-street Bridge (over Neio England B.R.^.
This is a wooden bridge, built in 1889. The sidewalks
and deck should be renewed and the fences should be re-
pahed and painted.
Boylston-street Arch Bridge (in Back Bay Fens).
This is a stone arch bridge, built in 1881. It is in good
condition.
Boylston-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany B.MS).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1886-88. It is now in
good condition.
Bridle-path Bridge, in the Biverway (over Muddy Biver^.
This is a masonry bridge of three arches ; the central arch
is elliptical m form, with a span of 30 feet and a rise of 9
feet 6 inches ; the side arches are semicircular, 15 feet in
diameter. It was built in 1894 and is maintained by the
Park Department. It is in good condition.
Broadway Bridge (over Fort Point Channel).
This is an iron bridge. It was built in 1869-71, and the
draw and its foundation were rebuilt in 1874-75. The
bridge was temporarily strengthened in 1893, to allow elec-
tric cars to use it. The woodwork on the draw has been
renewed, the lower part of the draw and the iron columns
under the centre of the draw have been painted, repairs have
been made on the deck of the bridge and the draw pier, and
other general work has been done.
The sidewalks and the lower planking on the main bridge
and on the Foundry-street span need repairs, and the draw
foundation should be pointed. The piers and fender-guards
need renewal. The draw and draw foundation are in good
condition.
Engineering Departinient. 15
Broadway Bridge {over Boston ^ Albany R.R.').
This is an iron bridge, built in 1880-81. An examina-
tion of this bridge was made in October, 1895, in conse-
quence of which a report was sent to the Street Department
recommending that the konwork below the floor be painted
at once. Nothing, however, has been done as yet toward
carrying out this recommendation. If this bridge is to be
kept in service after the new railroad terminals are com-
pleted, the ironwork under the floor should be cleaned and
painted without further delay. The fence on this bridge is
in poor condition, and should be repaired as recommended in
the reports for the past two years.
BrooMine-ave7iue Bridge (over Boston ^ Alhany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1884. It is now in good
condition.
Brookline-ave7iue Bridge (over Muddy River, in the River-
way).
This is a semicircular masonry arch of 15 feet span. It
was built in 1892 by the Park Departments of Boston and
BrookHne, and is maintained by them jointly.
Byron-street Bridge (over Boston, Revere Beach S^ Lynn
R.R.y
This is a wooden bridge, built in 1889. A new spruce
deck has been put on the bridge. The sidewalk and bulk-
heads need repairing, and the fence should be painted.
Cambridge-street Bridge (from Brighton to Cambridge').
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw.
The city maintains the part within its limits. It was rebuilt
in 1884 ; the draw was rebuilt in 1891. The draw pier is
too short to accommodate the larger class of vessels that the
widenmg of the draw-way allows to pass through the bridge.
A new boat, a buoy, and a better house should be provided
at this bridge ; the fender-guard, pier, water-way and stone
abutment need repairing. The deck of the bridge is old and
needs repairing.
Canal or Craigie's Bridge.
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden turn-table
draw. The city pays one-half the cost of maintenance. The
16 City Document No. 10.
bridge was originally Imilt in 1808, was rebuilt in 1852, and
again rebuilt and widened in 1874. The bridge is in the
care of a commission, consisting of one commissioner from
Boston and one from Cambridge. The down-stream wing
on the water-way has been rebuilt witli new piles and plank ;
the down-stream end of the draw-pier has been strengthened
and minor repairs have been made. The sidewalks, sidewalk
bulkheads and fencing are poor and need rebuilding in part ;
additional stringers are needed near the draw, and some pile
work is needed at the Cambridge end ; the roadway should
be repaved ; the draw is old and needs extensive repairs.
Castle-Island foot-bridge {from Marine Park to Castle
Island^.
This is a temporary foot-bridge, built in 1892, and is main-
tained by the Park Department. It connects the Marine
park with Castle Island, and is furnished with a draw, so
that if desned by the United States authorities, the island
can be cut off from the shore. The fences have been painted ;
the draw should be adjusted, and mmor repairs are needed
on the floormg ; otherwise the bridge is in good condition.
Central-avenue Bridge (over Neponset River^ Dorchester
Lower Mills').
This is an iron bridge, and was built in 1876. The city
maintains the part within its limits. The woodwork of this
bridge is in very poor condition, and the previous recommen-
dation is repeated that the bridge be stripped and painted, the
woodwork renewed, and the abutment pomted.
Charles-river Bridge (from Boston to Charlestown).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with an iron draw. The
present bridge was built in 1854-55 ; the draw was built in
1870. The fence at the Boston end of the bridge needs
repairing, and the paving on the roadway is poor ; other-
wise the main bridge is in fair condition ; the piers and the
fender-guard are in very poor condition.
Charlesgate (in. Back Bay Fens, over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1881-82, and is maintained
by the Park Department. It is in good condition.
Engineering Department. 17
Chelsea Bridge (over Boston ^ Maine R.R.').
This is an iron bridge, built by the Boston & Maine Rail-
road Company in 1894, and is over the railroad location.
The surface of the bridge is raamtained by the city ; the
remainder by the railroad company. It is in good condition.
Chelsea Bridge Worth (over North Channel 3Iystie River^.
The city maintains the part within its limits. The original
structure was built in 1802-3. The piles under the main
bridge were chiven in 1880. The upper part of the bridge,
the draw and draw foundation were built in 1895.
The old fender-guard is m poor condition. The draw
should be painted, the concrete walk resurfaced, and the
water-way on the piers should be repaired.
Chelsea Bridge South (over South Cliannel^ Mystic River').
This is a pile bridge, with an iron draw. The original
bridge was built in 1802-3. The piles of the present bridge
were driven, and the draw was built in 1877. That part
of the bridge above the girder caps was rebuilt at a higher
grade, an(| the draw was raised in 1895. The iron fence
near the house needs painting, and the fender-guards are in
poor condition ; otherwise the bridge is in good condition.
Chelsea-street Bridge (from East BostonM Chelsea).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with an iron swing draw ;
the original bridge was built in 1834; was rebuilt in 1848,
1873, and again in 1894-95. The bridge should be painted,
and the curbs need to be aligned ; othei-wise the bridge is in
good condition.
Circuit-drive Bridge (over Scarboro^ Pond, in Franklin
Park).
This is an elliptical masonry arch of 30 feet span and 6 feet
3 inches rise. It was built in 1893, and is maintained by
the Park Department.
Columbus-avenue Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1876-77. The ironwork
below the floor is very rusty and should be thoroughly cleaned
and painted.
18 City Document No. 10.
Commercial Point or Tenean Bridge (^Dorchester'),
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw.
The present bridge was built in 1875. The draw is old and
should be rebuilt; and the draw machinery should be re-
paii-ed. The bulkhead at the Boston end is in a dangerous
condition.
Commonwealth-avenue Bridge (in Bach Bay Fens).
This is an iron bridge. It was built in 1881-82, and is in
good condition.
Congress-street Bridge (over Fort Point Channel).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with an iron turn-table draw
on a stone foundation, and was built in 1874-75. The deck
of the bridge and the sidewalks have been repaired in places;
the fence and drawhouse have been painted, and the machinery-
has been repaired. The sidewalks and parts of the flooring
of the bridge are in very poor condition and need immediate
repairs. The di'aw should be raised in order to relieve the
excessive wear on the wheels and tracks ; the paving should
be repaired and the top of pier should be rebuilt. The bridge
will soon be widened 20 feet at the Boston end, and filled
solid as far as the harbor line ; as soon as Summer-street
bridge is built, which will probably be in about eighteen
months, this bridge should be rebuilt; in the meantime it
should be Avatched very carefully.
Cornwall-street Bridge (over Stony Brooh^ West Roxhury).
This is a small wooden bridge, built in 1892. It is in good
condition.
Cottage Farm Bridge (over B. ^ A. R.R., Brighton).
This is a steel bridge, built in 1895-96. (See page 145.)
Cottage-street Foo1/-hridge (over Flats, Fast Boston).
This is a wooden pile bridge, built in 1 889, for foot travel
only. Some of the piles are commencing to decay; several
pieces of cross bracing have been carried off by the ice, and
should be replaced ; others that are soft and split at the ends
should be refastened or replaced. The floormg is poor in a
number of places and should be patched, and the fence rails,
near the ends of the bridge, should be renewed ; otherwise
the bridge is in good condition.
Engineering Depaktment. 19
Dartmouth-street Bridge (over B. ^ A. R.R. and Providence
Division, N. T., N. H. ^ H. R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1878-79. It should be
stripped and thoroughly cleaned and painted this year. The
underphmking is poor and should be renewed. The network
of wires which disfigure the bridge should be taken down.
Dorchester-street Bridge (over Old Colony Division, N. Y.,
N. H. # E. R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1869. It is principally
maintained by the railroad company, and was repaired and put
in fair condition in 1893. During the past year a 16-in.
water pipe was placed under the southerly sidewalk and all
iron work exposed at the time, was cleaned and painted.
Dover-street Bridge (over Fort Point Channel^.
This was originally a wooden pile bridge, built in 1805,
rebuilt m 1858-59, and again in 1876. In 1893-94, upon
the abolition of the grade crossing of the Old Colony Rail-
road, the present iron structure resting on masonry piers was
built. The bridge is in good condition. Portions of the
foundation of the old draw on the Boston side were allowed
to remain at the time the present bridge was built, and they
present a very unsightly appearance and should be removed.
Ellicott- Arch Bridge (in Franklin Park^.
This is a semicircular masonry arch of 17 feet 6 inches
span. It was built in 1889, and is maintained by the Park
Department.
Essex-street Bridge (from Brighton to Cambridge').
The city maintains the part within its limits. This is a
wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw, and was origi-
nally built in 1850 ; the draw was rebuilt in 1891. The
main bridge has been rebuilt above the piles. (See p. 146.)
Everett-street Bridge (over B. ^ A. R.R., Brighton).
This is an iron bridge built m 1891 by the Boston &
Albany railroad. It is in good condition and needs only
minor repairs to some of the woodwork.
20 City Document No. 10.
Federal-street Bridge (^over Fort Point Channel').
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a double retractile iron
draw, and was rebuilt in 1891-92. The drawhouse has been
painted, and general repau"s have been made. The sidewalks
need repahing and the fence needs painting ; otherwise it is
in good condition.
Fen Bridge (in Back Bay Fens).
This bridge was built in 1891-92. It is in good con-
dition.
Ferdinand-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1892. The lower planking
is poor, should be renewed and the iron work below the floor
cleaned and painted.
Forest Hills Entrance Bridge (in Franklin Park).
This bridge was built in 1894-95. It is maintained by
the Park Department and is in good condition.
Gold-street Bridge (over Neiv England R.R.).
This bridge was built in 1895, replacmg a foot-bridge
which was built in 1890. The bridge is not open to travel
as the ramps have not yet been built ; the fence is already
daubed and cut, and the bridge is dirty and should be
cleaned. The outside girders should be painted ; the walls
need a little pointing.
Granite Bridge (from Dorchester to Milton).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw.
The city maintams the- part withm its limits. The bridge
was originally built in 1837. The sidewalk and the up-river
pier need replankmg ; the abutment should be repau'ed and
the fence on the draw should be painted and the flap-hinge
should be relocated.
Harvard Bridge (from Boston to Cambridge).
This is an iron bridge with an iron turn-table draw, and
was built in 1887-91. The bridge is in the care of two
Commissioners, one appointed from Boston and one from
Cambridge, and the expense of maintenance is borne equally
by each city. The roadway has been sheathed during the
Engineering Department. 21
past year, and one-half of the asphalt sidewalk has been
renewed by the Contractor who originally put it down, in
compliance with his guarantee. The Contractor who put
down the other half of the sidewalk should be required to
make his work equally good before the time-limit of his
guarantee expires. A small amount of paintmg of the iron
work of the bridge has been done during the past year, but
until the whole bridge is thoroughly painted it cannot be
said to be in first class condition.
Huntington-avenue Bridge (^over Boston ^ Albany R.RS).
This is an iron bridge. It was built in 1872, and in 1876-
77 the abutments were rebuilt, and the bridge widened by the
addition of two new girders. During the past year the
floormg of the bridge has been entuely rebuilt and made to
conform to the new grade of the street, parapets have been
raised and new asphalt sidewalks built. The old girder on
the centre line of the westerly sidewalk was moved to the
easterly sidewalk and two new plate girders put in under
the westerly sidewalk. This change was made necessary
because of the new 42-inch water-pipe which was carried
across the bridge on this side. The new girders were built
by the Boston Bridge Works, under a contract dated Nov. 9,
1895, and the work of moving the old girder was done by the
same company ; the total cost being -$2,646.99. The contract
for the woodwork and for changes in stonework was made
with W. L. Miller, dated April 11, 1896, and amounted to
$4,358. The new sidewalks were built by the Boston
Asphalt Company at a cost of $635.25. The cleaning and
painting of the girders was done by the Bridge Division of
the Street Department.
Irvington street Foot-bridge (over Providence Division^ N. Y.y
This is an ii'on foot-bridge, built in 1892. It has been
painted during the past year and is now in good condition.
L-street Bridge (over Reserved Channel, South Boston^.
This is a wooden pUe bridge, with an iron retractile draw.
It was built in 1892. The interior of the house and a part
of the draw beneath the roadway have been painted. The
entire bridge should be painted during the coming season ;
otherwise it is in good condition.
22 City Docuihent No. 10.
Leverett-pond Foot-bridge (in Leverett Parli).
This is a segmental masonry arch of 24 feet span and 5 feet
6 inches rise. It was built m 1894, and is maintained by the
Park Department.
Leydenstreet Bridge (over Boston^ Revere Beach S^ Lynn
R.R.y
There is an iron bridge, built in 1889. The flooring of the
roadway and sidewalks needs renewing, and the bridge should
be painted.
Linden Park-street Bridge (over Stony Brook^.
This is a wooden bridge, built in 1887. The sidewalk
plankmg is very thin and should be renewed, and the entire
bridge painted.
Longwood-avenue Bridge (from Roxhury to Brookline').
This is a wooden bridge, supported by wooden posts, and
was built in 1877. The portion of the bridge maintained by
the City of Boston is not in a safe condition, the under-
planking is so rotten that the strength of the floor depends
almost entirely on the condition of the sheathing. This
bridge should be closed to team travel or restricted to very
light loads.*
Maiden Bridge (from Charlestown to JEveretf).
The present structure was built in 1875, and the draw in
1892. Only general repans have been made. The bridge
is in poor condition, and should be rebuilt.
Massachusetts-avenue Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.').
This is an iron bridge, built in 1876. It was thoroughly
repaned in 1893, with the exception of the wooden fences.
These fences are now in very poor condition and should be
rebuilt. The bridge will then be in good condition tlirough-
out.
Massachusetts-avenue Bridge (over Providence Division,
N. y., ]\\ H. ^ H. R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1876. It has been painted
during the past year and is now in good condition.
* This bridge was closed to travel, April 22, 1897.
Engineering Department. 23
3Iattapan Bridge (Jrom Dorchester to Miltori).
The city maintains the part within its limits. This is an
old iron bridge and is in a dangerous condition, and it should
be replaced by a stone bridge.
Meridian-street Bridge (from East Boston to Chelsea').
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden turn-table
draw on a pile foundation. The original structure was built
in 1858. It was rebuilt soon afterwards, and was widened
and rebuilt in 1884, excepting the draw, wliich was built in
1875-76. The chords and fences of the draw have been
rebuilt and the deck repaired. The draw is now moved by
electricity, and is lighted by incandescent electric lights.
The draw and the fences have been painted, the concrete
sidewalks resurfaced, and repairs have been made on the
fender-guards and water-waj^s. The draw and its bearings
need adjustment. The stringers on the main bridge, near the
draw, need strengthening and the water-ways need further
repairing. (See page 146.)
Milton Bridge (from Dorchester to Milton').
The city maintains the part within its limits. The origi-
nal structure is very old. It was widened in 1871-72. The
older part of this bridge was built of stone, and the widen-
ing is an iron structure on stone columns. The sidewalks
need repairs ; otherwise the bridge is in fair condition.
Mt. Washington-avejiue Bridge (over Fort Point ChanneV).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with an iron draw. It was
built in 1854, and rebuilt in 1870-71; this bridge is in poor
condition. It has the only draw of importance in the city that
is moved by hand power ; the draw-pier is in poor condition
and is so low that it is covered with water at every high
course of tides. The pavement, concrete sidewalks, sidewalk
flooring on the draw and the fender-guards are in poor con-
dition and need early attention. The water-ways are out of
repair, and the draw should be adjusted so it can be re-
versed. This bridge should be rebuilt; as the building of
Dorchester avenue extension will necessitate the rebuilding
of part of it, the opportunity should be taken of rebuilding
the whole bridge.
24 City Document No. 10.
Neponset Bridge (from Dorche%ter to Quincy').
The city maintains the part within its hmits. The origi-
nal structure was built in 1802, and the present one in
1877. The draw is too heavy to be handled by hand, and
should be replaced by a turn-table draw. A new sidewalk
was built last year. The arrangement of the rails and trolley
wires on the draw for the street cars is very poor and should
be remedied at once, and the cars should not be allowed to
shoot across the draw. New oak headers are needed at the
ends of the draw and the latches should be repaired ; the
piers need extensive repairs ; the draw should be painted and
the machinery adjusted.
Neptune-road Bridge (over Boston, Revere Beach ^ Lynn
This is an u'on bridge, built m 1887-88, and is maintained
by the Park Department. The bridge is in good condition,
except the roadway plank which should be renewed.
Newton-street Bridge (over Providence Division, N. Y., N. H.
# H. R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built m 1872. It is in good con-
dition, excepting the concrete sidewalks, which should be
resurfaced.
North Beacon-street Bridge (^from Brighton to Watertoivn').
The city maintains the part within its limits. This is a
wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw. The original
structure was built in 1822, and the present one in 1884.
The flooring on the pier is in poor condition, and the side-
walk plank needs renewal. An old unused telephone pole
on the bridge should be removed.
North Harvard-street Bridge (from Br'ighton to Cam-
bridge^.
The city maintains the part within its limits. This bridge
was originally built in 1662, and was rebuilt, except the
piling, in 1879; the draw was built in 1891. The abut-
ment, piling, roadway plank and fence are in poor condition.
The abutment and main bridge should be rebuilt.
Engineering Department. 25
Prison Point Bridge (Jrom Charlestoivn to Cambridge).
The city pays one-half of the cost of mamtenance. This
bridge was originally built in 1833, and the present struct-
ure was built in 1876-77. It is a wooden pile bridge, with
an u'on leaf draw. The bridge is m the care of commis-
sioners, consisting of one commissioner from Boston and one
from Cambridge. It is in poor condition. Only ordinary
repairs have been made on the bridge. The draw, machinery,
hinges and the Woodwork on main bridge near the channel
need thorough repairing ; the top of the pier and the faces of
the water-way also need repairmg ; this bridge will probably
be rebuilt within a couple of years, owing to the abolishing
of the grade crossing of the Boston «& Maine Raiboad.
Public Garden Foot-bridge.
This is an iron bridge. It was built in 1867, and was
thoroughly repaired in 1887.
Scarboro^ Pond Foot-bridge (in Franklin Park).
This is an elliptical masonry arch of 40 feet span and 8
feet 3 inches rise. It was built in 1893, and is mamtained
by the Park Department.
Shaivmut-avenue Bridge (over Bostori ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1871. The girders over
the main tracks of the railroad are very badly corroded, and
unless this portion of the bridge is cleaned and painted very
soon it will be impossible to continue heavy traffic over it. The
girders on the outer edges of the sidewalks are covered by a
cast-iron parapet which has not been removed since the
bridge was built; portions of this covering should be re-
moved so that a thorough examination can be made of the
condition of the iron in these girders.
Spring-street Bridge (from West Roxbury to Bedham).
This is a stone bridge. The city maintains the part with-
in its limits. It is in good condition.
Stony-brook Bridge (Back Bay Fens).
This is an ornamental brick arched bridge, with stone
facings, built in 1891-92, and maintained by the Park De-
partment. It is in good condition.
26 City Document No. 10.
Swett-street Bridges {over South Bay Sluices').
These are wooden bridges, built in 1875, as temporary
structures ; they are in poor condition and extensive repairs
should be made on them this year.
Tremont-street Bridge (over Muddy River).
This is a semicircular masonry arch of 15 feet span. It
was built in 1893, and is maintained by the Park Departs
ments of Boston and Brookline.
Warren Bridge (from Boston to Charlestown).
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a double retractile iron
draw. The present structure was built m 1883-84. Two
new trucks and twelve new wheels have replaced old ones,
and general repairs have been made. The lower planking on
the draw needs renewal, the fender guards need rebuilding,
the concrete sidewalks need resurfacing, and repairs are
needed on the track strmgers, water-way, fence, piers, road-
way paving and engines.
West Boston Bridge (from Boston to Cambridge).
This bridge is in the care of two commissioners, one from
Boston and one from Cambridge. The city pays one-half of
the cost of maintenance. This is a wooden pile bridge, with
a wooden turn-table draw. The bridge was originally built
in 1792-93, was rebuilt in 1854, and repaired in 1871. This
is an old, weak bridge, and is in an unsafe condition, and
should be rebuilt. This bridge, and Canal and Prison Point
bridges are in the care of the same commission, and are kept
in usable condition only by constant care. The bridge has
been strengthened by driving ninety-two piles and the addi-
tion of twelve girder caps and forty-one stringers, and the
ordinary repairs have been made.
West Fourth-street Bridge (over Old Colony Division
K r., JV. E. ^ H. R.B.).
In 1893-94 the grade crossing of the Old Colony Railroad
on this street was abolished and an iron bridge built, ex-
tending from the end of Dover-street bridge at the South
Boston side of Fort Point channel to the easterly line of
Foundry street. The bridge is in good condition, except the
sheathing of the northerly roadway which should be renewed.
Engineering Department. 27
The entire wearing surface of this bridge is covered with
spruce phmk, and to maintain it in a satisfactory condition it
will be necessary to replank it at least once a year. The
expense of this work must be borne by the city.
West Midland-square Foot-bridge (over Providence Divi-
sion, N. Z, N. H. ^ H. R.B.}.
This is an iron foot-bridge, built in 1882. New stair-
treads have been put down and the bridge painted during the
past year. The sidewalks in Rutland square at the foot of
the stairs have been put in good condition.
Western-avenue Bridge (from Brighton to Cambridge^.
The city maintains the part within its limits. The present
bridge was built in 1879-80, and the draw in 1891. During
the past summer the horse-cars, which were run over this
bridge, were superseded by electric cars, necessitating the
strengtliening of the draw, to which three additional
stringers were added. The main bridge should be rebuilt
above the stringers ; the piling, fender-guard, water-way and
draw pier need repairing, and the draw pier needs lengthen-
ing and the strmgers at the rear of the draw-arms should be
screw-bolted to the girder caps.
Western-avenue Bridge (from Brighton to Watertoivn').
The city maintains the part withm its limits. This is a
wooden pile bridge, with an iron draw, and was rebuilt in
1892-93. This bridge should be painted, the latches and
bearings should be adjusted, and scupper holes should be
made in the flooring of the foundation to drain the central
portion.
Winthrop Bridge (from Breed'' s Island to Winthrop').
This is a pile bridge without a draw. It was originally
built in 1839 ; it was rebuilt in 1851, and was extensively re-
paired in 1870. This is an old bridge, and is only in fair
condition ; the bulkhead at the Boston end needs repairing ;
the caps need additional fastenings, and small repau's are
needed on the fence and sidewalk.
Bridges Wholly Supported by Railroad Corporations.
The bridges over the Boston & Albany Railroad maintained
by that company are in good or fair condition with the ex-
ception of that on Washmgton street. Attention has been
28 City Document No. 10.
called in the annual reports of this department for several
years past, to the unsafe condition of the sidewalk girders of
this bridge. It is understood that the railroad company will
put m new girders this season. During the past year the
bridge on Market street, Brighton, has been stripped and
painted, new angle seats for the stringers put on and one new
girder substituted for an old one which was badly corroded.
Of the bridges maintained by the N. Y., N. H. & H. R.R.,
that at Canterbury street has been entirely rebuilt during the
year. The bridge now consists of two through plate girders
64 feet 6 inches long over all, and 5 feet deep. The
girders are spaced 24 feet apart on centres with two over-
hanging sidewalks 8 feet wide. The stringers are 4 X 12
niches hard pine and the plankmg is a single course of
3-inch hard pine. The bridge on Beech street has been
strengthened to allow the street cars to pass over. Two new
I-beams, 20 inches deep, have been placed luider each line of
rails. The bridge on Adams street has a new hard-pine floor,
and has been painted.
The Norfolk-street bridge, over the New England Railroad,
near Dorchester station, is a narrow bridge, in a dangerous
condition ; and the bridge on Silver street needs repairing.
SURVEYING DIVISION.
The organization of the Surveying Division for the past
year has remained practically the same as when placed in
charge of the Street Commissioners, July 1, 1895 ; the
number of employees engaged on the work being substantially
unchanged.
Notwithstanding the fact that the number of orders for
street lines and grades attended to for builders and contract-
ors is somewhat smaller than for the preceding year, fully as
much work has been accomplished, for the volume of work
has increased in other directions, principally for the Paving
Division of the Street Department. The Superintendent of
Streets, early in the season, made the request that all street
lines and grades given for the construction of artificial stone
sidewalks be tested after the contractor had completed the
work, and a report made, certifying that tlie sidewalk had
been laid at the proper grade and on the correct line. This
made it necessary for a surveying party to go to the street a
second time, practically doing the work over twice. This is
considered to be quite important, however, as a number of
sidewalks have been found to be constructed at slightly
different lines and grades than those originally given. As
ENGmEEBING DEPARTMENT. 29
13,471 square yards of artificial stone sidewalks have been
laid during the year, for which street lines and grades have
been given, it is obvious that the increase in this particular
line of work has been considerable.
Some of the more important plans for new streets, where
accurate surveys of takings and profiles showing proposed
grades have been made, are given in the following list, a
complete table, classified under the several districts, being
given in Appendix C.
Cove street^ plan and profile, from Summer street to
Kneeland street, 100 feet wide, showing takings from estates,
owners' names, grades, etc.
Summer-street extension, plan and profile, from Purchase
street to Fort Point channel, 100 feet wide, showing takings
from estates, owners' names, grades, etc.
Dorchester-avenue extension^ plan and profile, over Federal-
street bridge to Summer-street extension, showing takings,
grades, etc.
(In making the above plans of streets to be laid out
around the new Southern Station it was necessary to survey
some forty-eight estates, look up fifty-two titles in the
Registry of Deeds, and devote considerable time to the
question of grades shown in detail on the several profiles.)
Congress street, from Atlantic avenue to Fort Point
channel.
Buljinch jylace, from Bowdoin street to Bulfinch street.
Trinity place, from Dartmouth street to St. James avenue.
Peterborough street, from Back Bay Fens to Brookline
avenue.
Marginal-street extension. East Boston.
Reservoir lot, Thomas Park, South Boston.
Ather ton-street extension, Roxbury.
Ruggles-street extension, Roxbury.
Alexander street, Dorchester.
Fairmount street, Dorchester.
Martin street. West Roxbury.
Tremont street, Brighton, from Oak square to the Newton
line.
Brooks-street extension, under the Boston and Albany rail-
road at Faneuil.
In addition to the above, several correct surveys have been
made of estates where the Street Commissioners have taken
land for school purposes ; the two most important being the
30 City Document No. 10.
Prince-street lot, showing six estates, and the Chambers-
street lot, showing fourteen estates or parts of estates.
A plan, showing nine different estates, lying north of
Seaver street, with several blue prints of same, was made for
the Park Commissioners.
Among the many approximate plans made during the year
may be mentioned those of : —
Charlestoivn street^ showing proposed widening from
Causeway street to Haymarket square.
Dorchester-avenue extension, from Congress street, north,
to Atlantic avenue.
Rutherford-avenue extension, over Bow street to City
square, Charlestown.
Preble street, from Dorchester avenue to East Ninth
street, showing proposed widening and extension.
Several plans and profiles were made in connection with
the abolishment of the grade crossings at South street.
La Grange street and Spring street. West Roxbury.
Plans and profiles of Bowdoin street, between Beacon
street and Derne street, of Ashburton place, from Bowdoin
street to Somerset street, and of Somerset street, from Beacon
street to Howard street, with proposed extension of same to
Court street, were made with a view to cutting down the
grades of the above three streets.
Several plans, showing the proposed increase in the terri-
tory now contained in the market limits, were made for
hearings given by the Street Commissioners.
A map, showing the location of all the electric lights in
Boston, scale 800 feet to an inch, was made durmg the
month of October ; also a plan, scale 200 feet to an inch, with
all electric lights located north of Dover and Berkeley streets.

City Document No. 10.
Outside work was continued up to the middle of the
month of December. Since that time the several surveying
parties have been engaged, makmg assessment plans for the
Street Commissioners, and for the Paving Division of
the Street Department, sewer assessment plans, indexing
survey and level notes, plots, calculations, etc.
A general index to survey notes, from Jan. 1, 1881, to
July 1, 1895, has been prepared during the past year, alpha-
betically arranged in card catalogue form. This index is now
being type written, and when finished will furnish the office
with a complete index, contamed in four volumes, all survey
notes from the establishment of the City Surveyor's office to
the time of its consolidation with the Engineering Depart-
ment.

1 The greater part of the orders from the Buildings Department are
applications for building and repairing permits that are examined daily
in relation to street lines and grades, with a view of preventing
encroachments over street lines and the erection of buildings at incorrect
grades.

How Street Lines Often Become Irregular.
Every year there are many buildings erected on public
streets for which no application is made to this office for
lines and grades, contractors and builders frequently assum-
ing the line, and often encroaching into the streets with
steps, bays, porticos, etc. The surveyors are constantly
watcliing for such encroachments ; but it sometimes happens
that buildings are nearly completed before reports of en-
croachments are made. It would seem as though some law
or an ordinance, should be passed, compelling builders and
contractors to apply for street lines and grades before they
obtain permission to build.
There are many important streets that have no officially
established lines, and that have become public, either
through official action of the Selectmen, the Board of
Aldermen and the Board of Street Commissioners, or by
prescription. In the city proper, north of Dover and
Berkeley streets, there are some three hundred and thirty
public streets ; about one hundred and fifty of these have
no fixed or officially established lines, and fifty have such
lines only upon one side or for a part of their length.
34 City Document No. 10.
The importance of fixed official lines as a result of correct
surveys is obvious, when the numerous encroachments of
builders and contractors upon the public highways are con-
sidered. Such important thorouglifares as Court street, part
of Sudbury street, that part of Washington street between
Cornhill and Milk street, Hanover street on the north-west
side, Portland street on the westerly side, parts of North
street, are all instances of streets for which no fixed lines
have ever been established.
Lines of occupation by old buildings have been given for
the erection of new ones without regard for the uniformity
of line for the entire street, and many of the encroachments
made by the old structures thus continued. Early in 1875
a book was opened in the office of the City Surveyor for a
record of encroachments. Since that time some one hun-
dred and eighty encroachments of buildings, steps, porticos,
etc., into the public highways have been entered in it.
These are, without doubt, but a small part of what have
occurred, merely those that have come to the notice of the
employees in the office. It is certain that if these street
lines could be definitely fixed, and the builders and contracts
ors compelled by the authority of a statute or an ordinance
to obtain them before permits to build are issued, the jogs
and n-regularities now existing in and defacing many of the
public streets would gradually disappear, and before many
years the building fronts upon estates would be greatly
improved from the resulting regularity. Estate o^vners as
well as the public would benefit by this. Official street
lines could be given on any property upon request to the
city for them. Frequent delays in the improvement of real
estate are caused by the time required to settle upon dis-
puted questions as to the Imes of bounding streets. The
uncertain standing of many street lines has, undoubtedly,
been also a cause of the loss of considerable land in the
estimation of areas for purposes of taxation.
Areas of Re-Districted Wards.
Approximate areas of the new wards on lines established
by the City Council of 1895 have been computed from the
most reliable maps in the office, with the following result : —

True Meridian Line.
Acting under tlie requirements of chapter 286 of the Acts
of 1870, the Board of Aklermen, under date of Nov. 21,
1870, passed an order authorizing the City Surveyor to
erect monuments for the purpose of establishing the true
meridian line for Suffolk County, and Oct. 2, 1871, directed
the City Surveyor to keep m liis office a book which should
contain a record of the location of said line, and in which all
land surveyors should enter, at least once a year, the varia-
tions of their compasses and other surveying instruments.
A State Commissioner had, under the provisions of section
6 of the aforesaid act, already been appointed, and, after con-
sultation with him, a suitable locality was decided upon, and
three granite posts placed on the southerly portion of the
parade ground on Boston Common. These posts were placed
200 feet apart ; they are eighteen inches square at the base,
one foot square at the top, eight feet long, and firmly set in
a bed of concrete, with tops just below the surface of the
ground, each covered with a North River flagstone, about
three feet square, set even with the surface of the ground,
and having a hole in the centre of each, so arranged that the
top of each post is easily accessible. Covermg the toj) of
each post or monument is a piece of metal about eight mches
in diameter, on wMch are cut two fine intersecting lines
forming a cross and indicating the four cardinal points
marked by the letters N. S. E. W. The line running through
these intersection points in the three monuments is the true
North and South meridian for Suffolk County.
During the year 1895, owing to the large amount of gravel
and other material taken from the subway and placed on the
parade ground, it was found impossible to get at these monu-
ments and read the magnetic variations for the several instru-
ments used in this department, and as it was the intention
to fill this part of the Common to the extent of several feet,
it was feared that these meridian posts would be buried
beyond reach.
The matter was called to the attention of the Subway
Engineer, and the Transit Commission caused to be built
around each monument a brick enclosure from five to seven
feet high, large enough to enable a man to descend through
a large manhole, thus preserving the posts for the future use
of all surveyors of this county.
The several transits now in use in this office have recently
been taken to the Common, the magnetic variation read and
a record made of the same in the book on file for that pur-
Engineering Department. 37
pose in this office. The average variation of the needle for
all the instruments in the office is 12° 5' west from trne
meridian. A plan, showing in detail the construction of the
original monuments, is on file in this office, in Vol. 36, page
157.
Perambulation of Boundary Lines.
Section 3 of chapter 27 of the Public Statutes requires
that " There shall be a perambulation of town lines, and they
shall be run and the marks renewed, once in every five years,
by two or more of the selectmen of each town, or by such
substitutes as they in writing appoint for that purpose.
After every such renewal the proceedings shall be recorded
in the records of the respective towns."
In compliance with the requirements of this act, the Board
of Aldermen, under date of Feb. 10, 1896, passed an order
authorizing the perambulation of the several boundary Imes
between Boston and the adjoining cities and towns, and
appointed a committee, consisting of three members of the
Board the City Clerk, and City Engineer, to attend to the
matter. No plan or note book was found recorded that
would give the exact location of each bound, the description
filed in the City Clerk's office giving only the distances
between the monuments and the directions of the lines, so
that early in the year and preliminary to the visitation a
photograph was made of each stone bound, small maps were
prepared, showing the location of every monument ; the correct
dimensions of all stone bounds, standing above the surface of
the ground, were recorded in survey note books, B 439
(Revere) ; B 448 (Everett and Somerville) ; B 446 (Newton
and Brookline) ; B 445 (Brookline, Dedham and Hyde
Park) ; B 435 (Hyde Park) ; and each monument numbered.
The photographs and small maps, 132 in all, were prepared
in duplicate, and pasted into two books, one of which accom-
panied the report of the committee, and is filed in the office
of the City Clerk, the other m the library of the Engineering
Department.
The names of the cities and towns visited, and the date of
perambulation is herewith given: Revere, May 20, 1896;
Everett, May 20, 1896 ; SomervHle, May 20, 1896 ; Newton,
May 22, 1896 ; Brookhne, May 27, 1896 ; Dedham, June 3,
1896 ; Hyde Park, June 3, 1896.

which fortunately were not realized.
The rainfall and quantities collected on the several water-
sheds were as follows : —

at grade 294.39 and water was wastmg over the dam, and so
continued until April 13, with the exception of March 19,
20, 21 and 22.
On April 13 one set of flash-boards was placed on the
dam, and on April 17 the second set was placed in position.
On April 20 the second set was removed and waste
occurred from April 20 to April 28, on which date the second
set was again placed upon the dam. Water wasted over
the dam from May 3 to May 14, also from May 29 to June
20. On August 14 the flash-boards were removed. On
August 1 the water surface began to fall, and reached its
lowest point on November 20, being 32.31 feet below the
crest of the dam on that date, since then it has been gradually
filhng, and on Feb. 1, 1897, the water surface was at grade
271.59. The dam is in good condition.

tents, betiveen 327.91 and 317.78, 1,256,900,000 gals.
On Jan. 1, 1896, the water surface was at grade 325.29,
or 2.62 feet below high water. It reached grade 326.52 on
April 20, and remained at about this height until July 1,
when the water surface began to fall slowly, being at grade
324.70 on November 2. Since that date it has remained at
about this grade, being, on Feb. 1, 1897, at grade 325.45.
Water was drawn from the lake for the supply of the city
from January 1 to March 29, from September 16 to October
14, and from November 17 to 30.
It was decided to build a temporary dam, in order to raise
the water in this basin two feet ; this work is now in progress.
The storage capacity wiU be increased about 400,000,000
gallons.

No water has been drawn from this pond for the supply of
the city during the year 1896. On Jan. 1, 1896, the surface
of the pond was at grade 149.67 or .42 feet above high water
mark, the water surface rose slowly during January, and on
February 12 was at grade 150.22. During March and April

it remained at about grade 149.50. It began to fall in May
and reached the lowest pomt of the year on September 5,
being at grade 148.21 on that date. During the remainder
of the year it has remained at about grade 148.80, being at
grade 149.00 on Feb. 1, 1897.
The Framingham Water Co. has drawn 139,300,000 gal-
lons from the pond during the year.

tween 134.36 and 117.03, 2,907,000,000 gals.
The dam is in good condition. On Jan. 1, 1896, the sur-
face of the lake was 2.06 feet below high water mark ; filling
gradually, high water mark was reached on April 24. The
water surface fell during the remainder of the year, being at
grade 128.75 or 5.61 feet below high water mark on Feb.
1, 1897.
The beds for filtermg the water of Pegan brook have been
in use for the greater portion of the year, and 258,099,000
gallons have been pumped upon them. No dijBficulty has
been experienced in their operation during the winter season.

the East Boston pumping-station 483,000 gallons per day
have been pumped for the supply of the high-service dis-
trict, and 57,600 gallons per day for the Breed's Island high-
service. Owing to the non-completion of the 36-inch high-
service line through Roxbury, it was necessary to maintain
the pumping plant on Blue Hill Avenue and Wayne Street
during the year, and to keep it in constant service.

Mystic Lake.
On Jan. 1, 1896, the water surface was .96 feet below
high water ; waste was then occurring over the dam and
continued until May 2, excepting the period between Jan-
uary 9 and 24.
The water surface, which on May 2 was at grade 6.75,
gradually fell, reaching its lowest point on September 5 ;
the water surface being at grade — 3.26, or 10.26 feet below
high water.
Filling gradually from September 5, it reached grade 6.40
on December 12. Waste occurred over stop-planks on dam
from December 10 to 25 ; from Jan. 6 to 11, 1897, and from
Jan. 22 to 24, 1897. On Feb. 1, 1897, the water surface
was at grade 5.85. The fishway was opened on April 15,
and was kept open until June 12, when it was closed, and
remained so during the rest of the year. The dam at the
outlet of the lake is in good condition.

Distribution.
On the Cochituate Works 33.8 miles of pipe were laid and
9.8 miles abandoned, making a net increase of 24 miles
and a total of 620 miles now connected with the system.
Early in the spring a 16-inch high service main was laid
from Upham's Corner to Thomas Park by way of Boston,
Dorchester and Telegraph streets, affording an additional
supply for the South Boston high service district and making
the reservoir on Thomas Park, which the city contemplated
taking for a high school site, no longer necessary. The
length of pipe laid was 8,491 feet, of which amount 3,667
feet was laid by contract; this line is not yet in service and
will be used only in an emergency until the completion of
the 36-inch, 30-inch and 20-inch mains through Roxbury and
Dorchester.
The 24-inch low service main in Dorchester was extended
from Dorchester avenue and East street, through Dorchester
avenue and Adams street, a distance of 3,888 feet, all the
Engineering Department. 81
work being done by contract. This extension has increased
the minimum head at the Lower Mills 7 feet, as shown in
Table VI. A further extension of this line to Milton Lower
Mills should be made during the coming season.
In June the 42-mch high service main was completed and
placed in service ; as shown on Table No. VI. the minimum
head in the city proper was mcreased nearly 20 feet. During
the months of October and November it was decided to put
the 48-inch high service main in Brookline out of service
during the construction of a sewer by the town of Brook-
line in Walnut street, in close proximity to the water pipe,
the excavation for the sewer being largely in solid rock ; the
reduction in pressure and the consequent small consumption
in gallons on the high service can be seen in Tables VI. and
VIL, on pages 93, 94 and 95. In September, for the bet-
ter protection of East Boston, in case of fire, and also to give
an adequate supply for domestic use, a 20-mch low service
main was laid from the corner of Brooks and Condor streets
to Central square by way of Condor and Border streets, the
length laid being 3,773 feet, of which amount 2,131 feet was
laid by contract. This line has increased the minimum head
12 feet. During the coming season it is intended to extend
the 20-inch pipe in Border street to Maverick street and to
lay a 16-mch line to Maverick square.
In May of this year an 8-inch pipe, with Ward's flexi-
ble joints, was laid across Shirley gut to replace the two
lines of similar pipe laid in 1870 ; the latter had been broken
a number of times, and were entirely exposed to a blow from
passing vessels on the Deer Island shore ; as a matter of fact
both were broken in this way before water was turned on
the new line. The work was done, under contract, by George
W. Townsend ; the pipe was first jointed on the Winthrop
shore, upon rollers, and was then hauled across the gut,
empty oil barrels being lashed to it to facilitate the work ;
it is laid in a trench, excavated six feet deep on each
shore to low water mark ; at that point the trench decreases
in depth until it is one foot deep at the middle of the chan-
nel.
No trouble was experienced during the past winter with
the service between the islands in the harbor ; while the cold
was severe at times, it was not long continued. The precau-
tion was taken of tapping the pipes on each island at high
water mark ; during a cold snap the temperature of the
water in the pipes was taken daily at the different points
established. In this way the exact conditions are kno^vn,
and danger of freezmg can probably be averted.

have been extended 5.4 miles and 0.05 mile have been re-
laid. The total length now in service is 184 miles. There
has been an increase of 253 in the number of hydrants con-
nected with the Cochituate Works, making a total now in
use of 6,711 . On the Mystic Works 96 hydrants have been
added, and the total now in use is 1,639 ; 243 petitions for
main pipe have been reported upon, and 64 contracts for
rock excavation have been made. Various profiles have been
made, levels taken and lines and grades furnished for the
main pipe laying. All pipe laid has been located and plotted
on the plans.
Appended to this report will be found the usual tables of
rainfall, consumption, etc., for the past year, and, in addition,
tables are given of the rainfall, rainfall collected, and per-
centage collected on the Cochituate water-shed since 1863,
on the Sudbuiy river water-shed since 1875, and on the
Mystic water-shed since 1878. These will be found valuable
for futui'e reference.

IMPROVED SEWERAGE.
The work of extending the Improved Sewerage System
has been continued as fast as the limited appropriation would
admit, and the following is a brief review of the work done
during the past year : —
The condition of the appropriation on Feb. 1, 1897, was
as follows : —
Net appropriation 16,375,404 96
Total expenditures 6,375,404 96
The following is a report of the work done : —
Neponset Intercepting Sewers.
During the past year the intercepting sewers in Neponset
have been completed and are now in operation. The sys-
tem connects with the Dorchester intercepting sewer in
Chickatawbut street at Narragansett street, from this pomt
the sewers extend as follows: an 18-inch pipe, remforced
by concrete in Chickatawbut street and Neponset avenue to
Walnut street ; a 15-mch pipe, also reinforced in part by
concrete, in Walnut street to Woods street; a 12-inch pipe
in Franklin, Fulton, and Ericcson streets to High street ; an
8-inch pipe in Ericcson street to Walnut street, connecting
with the sewer in the latter street, about 433 feet of which
it was necessary to relay at a higher grade. The sewers
built in Franklin, Fulton, and Ericsson streets are intended
to serve as common sewers, and slants have been built in
them for that purpose. In Neponset avenue an 8-mch pipe
sewer was laid on each side of the street ; on the east side,
between Walnut and Taylor streets and on the west side
from Walnut to a point 20 feet beyond the track of the
N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad. The length of sewers laid in
the system are as follows : —
1,115 linear feet, 18-inch pipe.
1,033 " " 15 "
2,069 " " 12 "
2,113 " " 8 "
6,330
122 City Document No. 10.
Of this total 420 linear feet of 18-incli pipe was laid in 1895.
The sewage from the common sewers is intercepted at three
points, viz. : On Neponset avenue near Walnut street, on
Walnut street at Wood street and on Ericsson street at High
street; at each of these pomts a sump man-hole was built,
with an overflow into the common sewer providing an ample
outlet for storm water to the Neponset river; tide-gates,
with suitable man-holes, were constructed on the common
sewers where they serve as overflows.
]\It. Vernon Street Overflow.
After the completion of work at Neponset the improved
sewerage force was engaged in building the Mt. Vernon
street ovei'flow ; this overflow is from the Dorchester Inter-
cepting Sewer, just before its junction with the main inter-
cepting sewer in Mt. Vernon street ; crossing over the main
sewer it extends almost due north, about 500 linear feet to the
edge of the marsh ; it consists of 491 Imear feet of wooden
flume, 9 feet 8 inches, by 5 feet 2 inches ; 24 linear feet of brick
chamber containing two pairs of wooden tide-gates, each 4
feet 6 inches, by 4 feet 10^ inches ; and, connecting with the
Dorchester Interceptmg Sewer, 56 linear feet of 7 feet by 7
feet brick sewer, horseshoe shaped. This overflow is to
relieve the lower portion of the Dorchester Intercepting
Sewer m time of storm ; it will not begin to operate until the
intercepting sewer is flowing under a head of 0.86 feet ; under
these conditions the overflow will prove unobjectionable. In
December, 1896, the improved sewerage force which had been
steadily employed since May, 1890, was disbanded, and the
men transferred to different departments of the city.

[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF
PARK COMMISSIONERS.]
Commonwealth Avenue.
Underground conduits for electric wires have been built by the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company between Massachusetts
avenue and Beacon street, and also on Charlesgate East and
Charlesgate West, between Commonwealth avenue and Beacon
street.
The Fens.
The only work of construction done here during the year was
the re-grading and re-surfacing the grounds and walks around
the John Boyle O'Reilly monument. The area immediately
around the monument has been covered with an artificial stone
walk.
Two small temporary boat-landings were built, one nearly
opposite Westland entrance and one at Brookline avenue.
RiVERWAT.
The yard at the Administration Building has been inclosed by
a wall on the side towards the park and by a fence on the line of
the railroad. The walks in the vicinity of the building have been
surfaced and the plantations graded. The building was opened
for the use of the public early in the season.
On Audubon road, between the railroad and Beacon street, the
Street Department has built sewers on each side of the road, and
the gas and water-pipes have been laid. The surfacing of the
road is now in progress.
A temporary boat-landing was built near the gate-house at
Brookline avenue.
Leverett Park.
Three hundred and forty-four linear feet of 8-inch and 958
linear feet of 18-inch drains have been built from near the junc-
tion of Bynner street with the Parkway to Leverett pond.
Catch-basins at this junction were built by the owners of the
abutting land.
Jamaica Park.
A 6-inch sewer has been built from the Pine Bank Refectory
to the sewer in Jamaicaway, near Perkins street, a distance of
1,050 feet.
124 City Document No. 10.
On December 14 a contract was made with F. A. Snow for
grading the drive, walks and slopes on the westerly side of the
park between Perkins street and Jamaicaway. This work is now
in progress.
The water-pipe from the pumping-station is nearly all laid, and
the boilers and pumps should be repau'ed so that the plant can
be used.
Arborway.
The drive on the traffic road has been surfaced for a distance
of 1,350 feet westerly from South street.
On December 1 a contract was made with Thomas F. Broderick
for building a wall on the line between the Arborway and the
Arboretum. The work is not yet completed.
The bridge over the Parkway on the line of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, is nearly finished. This is a
masonry structure of five arches, and makes an angle with the
railroad of 63 degrees 3 seconds. The width of the bridge at right
angles to the railroad is 69 feet. The southerly arch is over
Morton street, and the northerly arch is over the traffic road on
the northerly side of the Parkway. Each of these arches has a
span of 41 feet 2 inches. The central arch has a span of 45 feet
2 inches, and is over the Parkway drive. On each side of the
central arch there is an arch of 23 feet 2 inches span, the north-
erly one being over the bridle path and the southerly one over the
promenade. The foundations rest upon beds of concrete, varying
in thickness according to the character of the ground ; all other
masonry is of granite. The soffits of the arches and the parapets
are fine pointed ; all other exposed surfaces are quarry faced.
The bridge is surmounted by a parapet 6 feet high on each side
of the railroad.
The bridge was built by the New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford Railroad Company, after plans made by Messrs. Shepley,
Rutan & Coolidge, architects.
The drive between Washington street and Forest Hills street
was opened to travel on August 2.
Arnold Arboretum.
A complete crusher plant has been established at the quarry
on Bussey street, and the work of crushing stone for road con-
struction and repair is now going on.
On October 5 a contract was made with James Doonan for
grading the road on the northerly side of Peters' Hill, between
the corner of Bussey and Walter streets and the corner of Bussey
and South streets. This work will be completed early in the com-
ing season.
West Roxbury Parkway.
A topographical survey of the portion of the Parkway between
the Arboretum and Weld street has been made during the year.

Franklin Park.
The new drive at Forest Hills entrance was finished and opened
to travel on August 2.- At the same time Ellieott street, the last
of the old highways in the park, was closed. The walk through
this entrance has been finished, and the gravel has been deposited
on the ride, but some work remains to be done to complete the
latter.
At the Refectory the service drive from Blue Hill avenue to
the service yard of the building has been built. A deep excava-
tion for the drive and walls six feet high on each side of it were
necessary. Steps on the path and walls on each side of the path,
leading from Blue Hill avenue to the Refectory, have been built.
The wall on the line of the road from Glen lane to the Refectory
has been completed ; also a wall on the southerly side of Glen lane
from the Refectory drive to Blue Hill avenue.
The road to the Refectory and the court in front of the building
have been surfaced, and the Pergola terrace has been covered with
a temporary plank floor.
A drain was laid from the building to Blue Hill avenue, but,
as at the time the sewer had not been built in that part of the
avenue, a temporary drain was built from the end of the drain to
the sewer at Wales street. The sewer has since been built in
the avenue, and the park drain permanently connected with it.
Another drain has been built from the carriage shed to the sewer
in Blue Hill avenue. A 6-inch water pipe was laid from Blue
Hill avenue to the Refectory.
The grading of the grounds in this vicinity has been nearly
finished. The Refectory was opened on July 4.
Franklin Field.
No construction work has been done during the year except to
repair some of the turf which had become winter-killed.
The Street Department has built a sewer on the southerly and
easterly sides of the Field between the drainage ditch and the
boundary line from Lyons street to Talbot avenue.
DORCHESTERWAY.
The Street Department has completed the sewers on both sides
of the Parkway, between Pond street and Dorchester avenue.
The Water Department is now laying its pipes in this same
section.
AVork was resumed in August on the surfacing of the driveway.
The gutters have been paved, the catch-basins built, the Telford
foundation laid, and most of it covered with crushed stone on the
section between Pond street and Dorchester avenue. A large
amount of rock has been excavated between Dorchester avenue
and Buttonwood street.
126 City Document No. 10.
The Strandway.
Plans and specifications were prepared, and on June 4 a con-
tract was made with Jones & Meehan for building the sea wall
and grading that portion of the Strandway between O street and
Marine Park, for the sum of $117,000. This work is now being
done.
On October 19 a contract was made with Hugh Farrell for
filling and grading that portion of the Strandway between H and
O streets. This work will require about 160,000 cubic yards of
filling which is to be furnished for 47 cents per cubic yard.
Work was begun early in November, and is now in progress.
Plans have been prepared for the extension of the storm over-
flow sewers at I and N streets.
On December 1 a contract was made with James Dolan for
removing the surplus loam from the site of the proposed play-
ground on M, Fii'st and Second streets, and piling the same on the
Strandway for future use there. The work is nearly finished.
Marine Park.
The new head-house was opened to the public on June 17, and
the pier, which had been kept closed since the preceding winter
on account of the work on the head-house, was opened on June 19.
As stated in the last annual report some of the columns sup-
porting the iron pier had been broken by the pressure of the
filling forming the beach. Measurements taken at frequent
intervals having shown that the movement of the columns had
practically ceased it was decided to repair them. This was done
in the following manner : Two rows of four-spruce piles each were
driven, one on each side of the column, on lines parallel to the
direction of the pier and as near the columns as was practicable.
The pile-driver was placed on the floor of the pier. Each row
was capped with a 12-inch hard pine timber. Other piles were
driven, and the pier was temporarily supported on them by block-
ing and by clamps around the column. The column then having
been cut off at the proper grade, and about 1^ feet of the part
below the cut broken away it was swung into a vertical position
by jack screws. Two courses of 6-inch hard pine timber, laid
close, were then placed on the caps and spiked to them, and the
column lowered on to a bed of cement on the platform. Three
columns were treated in this manner. The grades of the platforms
vary according to the grade of the ground, but they are such that
the timber can all be covered by the filling, and so no evidence of
the injury be seen. The columns are 4^ feet in diameter, of cast
iron, IJ inches thick, and filled solid with concrete. The tops of
the columns are at grade 20, and they were sunk to a depth of from
60 to 64 feet, the lower 10 feet being in stiff clay, above which
there was about 28 feet of mud. The weight to be raised in
moving the columns was about 40 tons. Measurements taken
since the work was done show no movement.
Engineering Depaktihent. 127
The old Refectory building has been removed, and the site
graded and loamed.
The house occupied by the sergeant in charge of Fort Indepen-
dence was thoroughly repaired during the spring.
Public Park, North End.
The work under the contract with Trumbull & Ryan, dated
Nov. 4, 1895, was finished on November 2, at a cost of $43,-
055.26. This work consisted of the grading of the grounds
north of Commercial street, the building of catch-basins and
drains, the building of a wall on the line of Commercial street,
and the biiilding of all sea walls for the approaches to the
proposed promenade piers, with the exception of the wall on the
westerly dock, which was omitted on account of the insufficiency
of the appropriation at the time.
On January 18, of this year, a contract was made with William
L. Miller for building the wall on the westerly dock. This work
has been begun.
Plans and specifications have been prepared for building the
promenade and bath-house piers.
On September 16 a contract was made with Perkins & White
for doing all the work, except planting, required to complete the
section of this park between Charter and Commercial streets.
This work is to be finished on or before June 1 of this year.
Wood Island Park.
Fourteen electric arc lamps have been set up on the gymnasium
ground, and six on the large field. Three thousand four hundred
and fifty-seven linear feet of underground conduit, carrying 5,801^
linear feet of cable to these lamps, have been built. The work
was done by the Boston Electric Light Company.
A portion of the large field was covered with loam to provide
for two baseball diamonds.
Agricultural tile drains have been laid in a portion of the gym-
nasium ground for the better draining of the same.
Chablestown Heights.
The only work of construction done here during the year was
the building of a retaining wall on the line of St. Martin street,
which was done under a contract with McHale & Heisler, dated
Sept. 8, 1896. The work was completed late in the season at a
cost of $4,640. Some grading remains to be done back of this
wall, and iron railings are required on a part of it, and on the
walls on either side of the shelter building ; this will complete
the construction of that portion of this park south of Medford
street.
128 City Document No. 10.
Charlestown Playground.
The work of filling has gone on as heretofore at no expense to
the department, except for the levelling of the material. About
nine acres out of a total of fourteen acres have been filled nearly
to grade.
Charlesbank.
The face of the sea wall was repointed early in the spring, and
the usual repairs made in the gymnasium.
Playgrounds.
Surveys have been made of land for Playgrounds on Neponset
avenue, Dorchester ; on Bellevue and La Grange streets. West
Roxbury ; and of the city's lot on First, M and Second streets,
South Boston.
The appended table shows the principal items of work com-
pleted to date.

[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE
STREET DEPARTMENT.]
The following is a report of the work done under my direction
for the Street Department during the year 1896 : —
Blue Hill Avenue.
The work on this avenue from Grove Hall to Walk Hill street,
a distance of 2.21 miles, is in a forward state. It is substantially
completed from Grove Hall to the principal entrances to Frank-
lin Park, and the remaining portion was so far advanced, that
one fairly good roadway for the entire length under construction
was in use during the winter. Daring the year the excavation or
rough grading has been completed, the work on the sewers, water
and gaspipes has been carried forward nearly to completion, and
about one-half the work of roadway construction done. The
avenue to Walk Hill street should be completed during the work-
ing season of 1897.
The construction of the remaining part of the avenue from
Walk Hill street to Mattapan, a distance of .65 mile, has not yet
been ordered.
The total amount of excavation made has been as follows . —
Earth 136,984.53 cubic yards.
Rock 33,913.59 " "
Total 170,898.12 " "
Thei-e has been a large surplus of excavated material, and
after completing the filling required, the remainder has been dis-
posed of as follows : —
Delivered on Lauriat avenue (haul about 0.46 mile), 7,524 cu. yds.
" "Geneva " ( " " 1.67 "), 6,083 "
" " Columbus avenue between Dimock
street and West Walnut Park (haul about 1.60
miles) 7,899 "
Delivered on Talbot avenue (haul about 0.17 mile), 5,000 "
Total 26,506 "
In addition to the above, large and unmeasured quantities of
filling have been delivered on Franklin Field, Franklin Park, and
on Blue Hill avenue beyond Walk Hill street. On the section
130 City Document No. 10.
nearest Grove Hall, the surplus, amounting to 3,291 cubic yards,
was disposed of by the contractor under the contract. A large
part of the rock excavated was of such inferior quality as to be
only suitable for filling. From the cut near Walk Hill street,
however, suitable stone was found, and enough was saved to
furnish stock for Telford base for about 16,000 square yards or
about 1.07 miles of one roadway.
The total cost of excavation including its delivery as above
indicated has been as follows : —
Earth, 136,984.53 cubic yards .... $57,603.44
Average cost per cubic yard .... 0.4205
Rock, ^33, 913.59 cubic yards .... 35,620.87
Average cost per cubic yard . . . . 1.05
Most of the work remaining to be done is under contract and
partially completed. There remains one section of roadway,
from Glenway street to Canterbury street, which can be put
under contract on the completion of the sewer, gas and water-
pipe work. The construction of a retaining-wall next Franklin
Park must follow the completion of the above-named section of
roadway, as its site is now occupied by the temporary roadway.
The Street railroad has been rebuilt from Grove Hall, and
extended .95 mile to Harvard street.
The grade established for Blue Hill avenue caused a cut of
about 11 feet at the entrance to Back street (now Harvard
street) and a temporary connection was made between them ;
this was done by contract and is not yet entirely completed.
The cost will be about $1,1] 0.
At McLellan street the difference in grade was about 10.5
feet and excavation for a connection has been in progress by the
Street Department during the winter ; at other intersections,
where there are only slight differences in grade, connections will
be made by the contractors.
Columbus-Avenue Extension.
Columbus avenue, from Northampton street to the Roxbury
crossing, has been substantially completed. It has an asphalt
roadway, from curb to curb, 54 feet in width, with a double-
track street railway. The rails used are full-grooved, with both
tread and guard on a level with the asphalt surface.
From Northampton street to the southerly line of Terry
street, a distance of 3,276 feet, the surface is Trinidad asphalt,
laid by the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, the concrete base
is generally 6 inches in thickness, but for a part of the length
over the deepest mud the thickness was increased to 10 inches.
The remainder of the work, 884 feet in length, was laid on a
6-inch concrete base by the Boston Asphalt Company, with im-
ported Sicilian natural rock asphalt. The preparation of the
Engineering Department. 131
roadbod was made by the regular force of the Street Depart-
ment, large, quantities of unsuitable material was removed, and
10,987 cubic yards of gravel was delivered by contract and used
for grading. A steam-roller was kept in use upon it for several
months, and while settlement is apparent in places, the general
result is better than could have been reasonably expected, when
the very bad character of the ground is taken into account. The
edgestoues were set and the brick sidewalks laid under the super-
vision of the Street Department. The price paid for asphalt,
including a 6-inch base of American cement concrete, was $2.90
per square yard for both sections. The section of the avenue
from Massachusetts avenue to Northampton street was surfaced
with Trinidad asphalt, so that Columbus avenue now has a con-
tinuous asphalt surface from the Boston & Albany raih'oad bridge
to the Roxbury crossing, a distance of 1.5 miles.
The section of the avenue between Roxbury crossing and
Stony brook, near Ritchie street, is occupied at present by the
contractors for the new conduit for Stony brook, and the sur-
facing of the street can only be commenced upon the completion
of this work, and the work upon the other sewers, gas and water
pipes.
The section between Ritchie street and West Walnut park can
be put under contract upon the completion of the underground
pipe work, which is in a forward state. The remaining section
of the avenue, extending from West Walnut park to Walnut
avenue, is nearly completed. It is a Telford macadam roadway
with edgestones and brick sidewalks. It was let in one con-
tract. The surplus excavated material was used upon the
adjoining section, and the work was carried far enough before it
was closed by the weather, to allow the roadway to be kept open
during the winter.
It is expected that the avenue can be completed during the
working season of 1897.
Huntington Avenue.
This avenue extends from Copley square to the Brookline line,
a length of 2.25 miles. From Copley square to Francis street,
a distance of 1.75 miles, it is 100 feet in width, and is built with
a central reserved space 25 feet wide for street cars, two road-
waj's each 25 feet wide and two sidewalks each 12^ feet wide.
The remainder of the avenue is 80 feet in width, with one road-
way 54 feet in width, with a double track street railway in the
centre, built in the usual manner without a special reservation.
The sidewalks are each 13 feet wide. Beginning at Copley
square the first section .13 of a mile long, to the Boston & Albany
railroad bridge, has Telford macadam roadwaj's and brick side-
walks. This section was built by the regular force of the Street
Department. The bridge over the railroad was stripped, cleaned,
painted and newly floored above the kon girders. One new girder
132 City Document No. 10.
was added to carry a new 42-incli water pipe, and in rebuilding,
the surface of the bridge was rectified to correspond with the
revised grade and cross section of the avenue.
From the bridge to Gainsborough street, a distance of .57 of
a mile, the roadways are laid with natural rock asphalt, on a 6-
inch American cement concrete base. The grading was done by
the regular force of the Street Department. The edgestones and
brick sidewalks were laid by contract with materials furnished
by the department. The asphalt including base was laid by the
Boston Asphalt Company and cost $2.90 per square yard. The
intersection at Massachusetts avenue which has double street
railroad tracks on each avenue, connected by eight cm'ves, is
paved with granite blocks on gravel. The next section, from
Gainsborough to Longwood avenue .78 of a mile in length has
Telford macadam roadways and gravel sidewalks ; it was built by
H. Gore & Co. with materials principally fiu-nished by the Street
Department. The remainder of the avenue, ,74 of a mile in
length has Telford macadam roadways and was built by Doherty
& Connors, with materials furnished by the Street Department.
A few details remain to be completed upon this avenue and the
work done upon it late in the season will require some further
attention early in the spring.
The reserved space upon which the street cars run has been
loamed, with the intention of seeding it to grass ; this work has
been done by the West End Street Railway Company which has
also done similar work upon Commonwealth-avenue extension and
Blue Hill avenue.
Brighton Avenue.
This avenue extends from Commonwealth avenue to Union
square, Allston, a length of .67 of a mile. It is 100 feet wide,
with a central loamed reservation 25 feet wide, for street cars, two
roadways, the northerly one 30 feet wide, and the southerly one
25 feet wide, and two sidewalks, each 10 feet wide. The road-
ways are built of Telford macadam, with 10-inch base and 6-inch
cracked stone covering, with block stone gutters, edgestones and
gravel sidewalks.

has been so far completed as to be in use during the winter.
Some work is yet to be done, and work done late in the season
will require attention in the spring. The avenue has been in use
Engineering Department. 133
since September. The work of excavation under Neil McBride's
contract, let in 1895, was completed early in the year, and large
quantities of excellent stone for Telford base and for crushing,
including a quantity of the finest trap rock, was quarried and
stored on adjoining land, and enough to supply the city's crusher
was delivered daily at the Chestnut Hill avenue crusher, near by.
Substantially enough stone was quarried and saved to build the
roadways and furnish a foundation for the sidewalks. The work
of building the avenue was let to John A. Whittemore's Sons, in
May, 1896. Block stone for gutters was furnished by the Street
Department, and the contractors hauled the stone previously
quarried and not required for Telford base to the crusher, and
drew crushed stone from the stock there as required. The road-
ways are built with an 8-inch Telford base and 4-inch crushed
stone surface, block stone gutters, without edgestones, and gravel
sidewalks, with broken stone foundation.
The width of the avenue at this section is 120 feet. The
northei'ly roadway is 25 feet wide, the southerly roadway 40 feet
wide, the reserved and loamed space for street cars is 25 feet
wide, and the two sidewallvs are each 15 feet wide.
The stone arch which marked the entrance to the Chestnut Hill
Driveway was taken down and stored on the grounds of the Water
Department by William Miller, at the contract price of $874.
The face wall on the Water Department front on the avenue was
rebuilt in its new position at a cost of $1,684.10. The contracts
of both McBride and AYhittemore are not yet settled.
The construction of this section completes the connection
between Commonwealth avenue in Boston, and Commonwealth
avenue in Newton, making a continuous wide avenue extending
from the Public Garden in Boston to Charles river on the further
boundary of the city of Newton, a distance of 11.14 miles, 5.59
miles of this avenue being in Boston, and 5.55 miles in Newton.

MISCELLANEOUS WOKK AND CONSTRUCTION IN
1896.
Cottage-Farm Bridge.
During the early part of the year the northerly roadway was
completed ; the 20-inch steel beams being placed in position by
A. C. Richtiiond; the bricks, the skewbacks and concrete being
furnished by the city, and put in place by the MetropoUtan Con-
struction Company. A Sicilian rock asphalt wearing surface was
put on the roadway by the Boston Asphalt Company.
On the completion of the northerly roadway travel was turned
on that side of the bridge July 9, and the old wooden bridge and
the two iron girders supporting the water and gas pipes were
removed.
New parapets and bearing blocks were furnished by the Cape
Ann Granite Company, and set in position on the old bridge
seats on the southerly section of the bridge.
Slight extensions were made to the easterly end of the north
abutment and middle pier, the work being done by A. C. Rich-
mond.
The 20-inch steel beams were furnished by Page, Newell &
Co., and placed in position by A. C. Richmond. The lead
coverings for the steel beams were furnished by E. B. Badger &
Sons. The bricks, skewbacks and concrete arches between the
beams were set by the Metropolitan Construction Company, the
materials being furnished by the city. The asphalt sui'face was
put on by the Boston Asphalt Company.
The two steel girders on the easterly side of the bridge, and
the sidewalk floor beams connected to them were fui'nished in
place by the Boston Bridge Works.
Granolithic sidewalks were laid on this section of the bridge
by Simpson Brothers, of Boston.
A central way between the car tracks, 13^ feet wide and 5
inches above the roadwaj^ was built, upon which are placed two
gas-pipes and one water-pipe.
Travel was turned over this part of the bridge late in the fall
and the bridge is practically completed with the exception of the
sidewalk on the northerly section, and the placing of fence rails
on the main girders.
With the exception of the plate girders on the outside lines of
the bridge, and some special construction under the sidewalks,
the superstructures is composed of 20-inch steel beams filled be-
tween with brick arches and Portland cement concrete, on which
is a wearing surface of Sicilian rock asphalt. The lower flanges
of the beams are. covered with sheet lead to protect them from
rust and the corrosion due to gases in smoke from locomotives.
146 City Document No. 10.
Essex- STREET Bridge.
Plans and specifications were prepared by this department for
making extensive repairs to this bridge.
A contract was made with William S. Rendle of East Boston,
on Oct. 14, 1896, for doing the work, which principally consisted
in removing the top of the old bridge above the piles, from the
Boston abutment to within 18 feet of the draw, replacing the
poorest of the old piles with new ones and rebuilding the bridge
with new hard pine caps, stringers and planking. The sidewalk
was rebuilt on the down-stream side of the bridge and both fences
were rebuilt. The total cost of the work was $7,038.95.
Huntington- A VENUE Bridge, Over Boston & Albany R.R.
During the past year the flooring of the bridge has been en-
tirely rebuilt and made to conform to the new grade ; parapets
were raised and new asphalt sidewalks built. The old girder on
the centre line of the westerly sidewalk was moved to the easterly
sidewalk and two new plate girders put in under the westerly side-
walk. This change was made necessary because of the new 42-
inch water-pipe which was carried across the bridge on the west-
erly side. The gu'ders were built by the Boston Bridge Works
under a contract dated Nov. 9, 1895, and the work of moving the
old girder was done by the same company ; the total cost being
02,646.99. The contract for the woodwork and for the changes
in stonework was made with W. L. Miller, dated April 11, 1896,
and amounted to $3,097.28. The sidewalks were built by the
Boston Asphalt Company at a cost of $635.25. The cleaning
and painting of the gu'ders was done by the Bridge Di\'ision of
the Street Department.
Meridian-street Bridge.
Specifications were made for rebuilding the trusses of the draw
and a contract for doing the work was made April 11, with W. H.
Elhs & Co.
After building the new chords, the draw was tm-ned off, the
floor and gallows frame were blocked up, the old trusses removed
and the new ones replaced, using the truss-rods and castings of
the old di'aw ; the flooring was then refastened to the new chords ;
repairs were made on a few floor beams and the gallows frame,
and the new woodwork was painted. The timber used in the
trusses was furnished by the city.
The cost of the contract work was $2,025.96.
After the flooring was fastened to the trusses, the Bridge Divi-
sion repaired the deck of the draw. The draw was turned off
May 25, and travel was resumed July 1.
WiNTHROP Bridge.
The sidewalk and sidewalk bulkhead were rebuilt for about
three-quarters of their length ; three piles were driven, and ten
Engineering Department. 147
bents of piles were girder-capped in whole or in part, and other
smaller repairs were made ; the work was done by J. N. Hayes
& Co., and was completed March 10, 1896, at a cost for contract
work of $1,519.92.
City Hospital.
Grading and Draining Grounds. Plans and specifications
having been prepared during the previous winter for grading and
draining a portion of the hospital grounds, a contract was made
with Dennis F. O'Connell, on February 25, for doing the work.
It was completed in August at a cost of 119,657.40.
The work done consisted of draining, grading and loaming the
grounds and surfacing the drives and walks on that portion of
the property between the old north line of tSpringfield street and
Massachusetts avenue. Also the building of brick walls on the
lines of East Concord street, Albany street and Massachusetts
avenue, where wooden fences only existed previously, and the
raising and putting marble coping on the existing brick walls.
I'Hre iSystem. During the latter part of the year a fire system,
with the necessary supply pipes, hydrants, standpipes, hose, etc.,
was established in the Boston City Hospital ; it embraced the older
buildings constructed before the modern methods of protection
from fire were introduced. In all, eighteen different buildings
were thoroughly equipped.
The following materials were used in the work : —
1,600 linear feet 4 inches to 8 inches cast-iron pipe.
1,600 " " 2 inches to 4 inches wrought-iron pipe.
4,000 " " linen fire hose.
5 post hydrants.
57 fire connections with valves.
9 valves 4 inches to 8 inches.
Congress-street Grade Crossing.
At the request of the Commission appointed by the Superior
Court for the alteration of the grade crossing of Congress street
and the New England Railroad, this department has made the
necessary surveys, and prepared the plans which have been used
at the various hearings held by the Commissioners. On the tenth
of November, 1896, the Commissioners prescribed the manner in
which the crossing should be abolished, substantially in accord-
ance with these plans.
DORCHESTER-AVENUE EXTENSION.
Early in June, 1896, a party was put in the field to make sur-
veys for the extension of Dorchester avenue along the water
front, made necessary by the construction of the new South
Union Terminal Station. Surveys have been made, and borings
148 City Document No. 10.
taken for the entire distance between the proposed extension of
Summer street and Federal- street bridge, and plans have been
prepared for the building of a sea wall on the harbor line to main-
tain the filling in the proposed street. Work on this wall will
commence early the coming season.
The necessar}' authority for the construction of the sea wall
and for filling solid within the street lines has been obtained from
the Secretary of War, as given in the following licenses : —

East Boston Ferries.
At the request of the Superintendent of Streets a report was
made Aug. 5, 1896, on the condition of tlie slips, drops and tanks
of the East Boston Ferries.
/South Ferry, Boston Side. Two new piers were recommended
for this landing. At the request of the Superintendent of Streets
specifications were made for temporarily repairing the outer part
of the middle pier, and the work was done by W. H. Ellis &, Co.,
under a contract dated Oct. 8, 1896, at a cost of $1,802.15.
Neio Drops. A contract was made Sept. 16, 1896, with Wil-
liam McKie to build three new drops to replace three old ones,
150 City Document No. 10.
which wore to be removed by the contractor and to become his
property, the contract price being $14,718. These drops were
placed at the northerly landing of the North Ferry, East Boston
side, at the northerly landing of the South Ferry, Boston side, and
at the southerly landing of the North Ferry, Boston side. These
drops were respectively put in use at the following dates : Nov.
23, Dec. 7, 1896, and Jan. 26, 1897.
New Tanks. Two new tanks were built by J. M. Brooks, and
were used for the new northerly drop at the East Boston landing
of the North Ferry, and for the new northerly drop at the Boston
lauding of the South Ferry. The contract price was $3,500.
The tank used for the new southerly drop at the Boston landing
