Hox. JOSIAH QUESrCY,
Mayor of the City of Boston:
Sir : The following report of the expenses and operation
of this department for the year ending January 31, 1898, is
submitted :
The duties of the City Engineer include the designing and
supermtending of the construction of new bridges, retaining-
walls, city wharves, and such other public engineering works as
the City Council may authorize ; the makmg of such surveys,
plans, estimates, statements and descriptions, and taking
such levels as the city government or any of its depart-
ments or committees may require ; the custody of all
surveys and plans relating to the laying-out, locating anew,
altering, widening or discontinuing of streets ; and the new
engineering construction for all departments of the city.
He must be consulted on all work where the advice of a
civil engineer would be of service. The office of the City
Engmeer was established by ordinance on October 31, 1850,
and by chapter 449 of the Acts of 1895.
The Architectural Division of the Public Buildings De-
partment was detached from that Department January 13,
1898, and placed under the Engineering Department. The
work of this division is that of a consulting or expert force.
It may be called upon by any department for technical advice
on matters relating to building, heating or ventilation. Plans
or specifications for work to be done, in certain cases, by the
Repair Division of the Public Buildings Dejjartment, are
prepared by this division, which is also charged with a gen-
eral supervision of the work done by the Repair Division of
the Public Buildings Department.

Agassiz-road Bridge {in Back Bag Fens').
This bridge was built in 1887, of brick and stone masonry.
It is maintained by the Park Department, and is in good
condition.
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 in part by the
Engineering Department. 9
Boston & Albany Railroad. The portions of the floor beams
which were not painted in 1896 are very rusty, and should
be painted. The fence is also quite rusty. The sidewalk
planking is worn very thin, and should be renewed this year.
Allston Bridge (over the Boston ^ Albany B.R.^ Brighton').
This is an iron bridge, built in 1892. The fences and the
ironwork below the flooring should be cleaned and painted.
Arhonvay Bridge (over Stony hrook^ in Parkway, near Forest
Sills Station).
This is a wooden bridge resting on abutments of vulcan-
ized spruce piles. The stringers and under-planking are of
vulcanized hard-pine. It was built in 1893, and is maintained
by the Park Department. The sheathing on the portion of
the brido-e not used for team travel should be renewed.
Ashland-street Bridge (over Providence Division.^ New York.,
New Haven <|* Hartford Railroad, West Roxhury).
The present structure is of iron, and was built in 1875.
The ironwork is in good condition. The fence on the northerly
side has been rebuilt, but that on the southerly side remains
in a very poor condition, and should be repaired at once.
Athens-street Bridge (over Neiv 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.
Audubon-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
Department.
Beacon-street Bridge (over Outlet of Back Bay).

1887-88, and the central roadway further widened in 1890
10 City Document No. 12.
for the convenience and at the expense of the West End
Street Railway Company. Tlie ironwork below the floor of
the easterly and central roadways has been cleaned and
painted, and new lower planking has been put in. The east-
erly sidewalk has also been replanked, but the westerly side-
walk and roadway remain in poor condition.
Bellevue-street Bridge (over Muddy River ^ 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 maintamed jointly by them.

This is an iron bridge, built in 1891, and is now in good
condition. _
Berkeley-street Bridge (over Providence Division, New York,
Neiv Haven ^ Hartford R.R.^.
This bridge has been reported for a number of years to be
in a poor condition, and only such repairs as seemed abso-
lutely necessary have been made. By carefully watching, it
is probable that this bridge can be made to do its work until
the removal of the railroad tracks from this location will
render a bridge unnecessary at this point.
Bernier-street Foot-bridge (over Bridle Path in Riverway').
This is a semi-cii'cular masonry arch of 38 feet 4 inches
span. It was built in 1893, and is maintained by the Park

good condition.
Enges^eering Departjment. 11
Blakemore-street Bridge (^over Providence Division, New York,
Neiv Haven ^ Hartford R.R.^.
This is an iron bridge, built in 1881-82. It should be
painted and the under planking renewed. During the past
year new sidewalks have been built.
Bolton-sfreet Bridge (over New England B.R^).
This is a wooden bridge, built in 1889. The roadway and
sidewalk planking and a few stringers have been renewed.

draw and its foundation were rebuilt in 1874-75. The
bridge was temporarily strengthened in 1893, to allow elec-
tric cars to use it, and the woodwork on the draw was re-
newed in 1896. The down-stream draw-pier has been rebuilt
for a length of 120 feet, and the up-stream fender-guard has
been rebuilt, and other general repairs have been made on
the bridge and on the di'aw-pier. The sidewalks and the
lower planking on the main bridge and on the FouncUy-street
span need repairs, and the draw foundation should be pointed.
The piers and one fender-guard need renewal. The trusses
erected in 1893 need adjusting. The draw and draw foun-
dation are m good condition.
12 City Document No. 12.
Broadway Bridge (over Boston cj- Albany R.E.').
This is an iron bridge, built in 1880-81. The recom-
mendation made a year ago, that tlie ironwork below the
floor should be painted has not been carried out, and this

bulkheads need repairing, and the fences 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
widening of the draw-way allows to pass tlu'ough 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 and chains on the draw need repairmg. The deck
of the bridge is old and needs renewmg.
Canal or Craigie's Bridge.
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden turntable

bridge was originally built m 1808, was rebuilt m 1852, and
again rebuilt and widened in 1874. The bridge is m the
care of a commission, consisting of one commissioner from
Boston and one from Cambridge. The up-stream sidewalk
on the Cambridge side of the draw has been rebuilt, and the
bulkhead in front of the draw-tender's house has been
Engineering Departjient. 13
repaired ; the other sidewalks, sidewalk bulkheads and fenc-
ing are poor and need rebuilding in part ; additional stringers
are needed near the draw, and some pile work is needed at
the Cambridge end, and some of the spurshores need refitting ;
the roadway should be repaved ; the draw and draw-pier are
old and need 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 jNIarine park
with Castle Island, and is furnished with a draw, so that if
desired by the United States authorities, the island can be
cut off from the shore. The draw should be adjusted, and
minor repairs are needed on the flooring ; otherwise the bridge
is in good condition.
Central-avenue Bridge (over Neponset Hiver, Dorchester
Loiver Mills').
This is an iron bridge, and was built in 1876. The city
maintains the part within its limits. A new sidewalk has
been built on the down-stream side. The woodwork of this
bridge is in very poor conchtion, and the previous recommen-
dation is repeated, that the bridge be stripped and j)ainted,
the woodwork renewed, and the abutment pointed.
Charles-river Bridge (from Boston to Charlestowri).
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 streel>car rails have been removed from the
bridge, and the roadway paving has been patched, and other
general work has been done. The fence and sidewalk bulk-
head at the Boston end of the bridge need repairing; one
bent of piles need additional caps, and the abandoned tele-
phone poles should be removed ; otherwise the mam bridge is
in fair condition ; the piers and the fender-guard are in very
poor condition.
Charlesgate Bridge (in Back Bay Fens^ over Boston ^ Albany
B.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1881-82, and is maintained
by the Park Department. It is in good condition.
14 City Docuiment No. 12.
Chelsea Bridge {over Boston ^ 3Iaine 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 maintained by the city; the
remainder b}^ the railroad company. The wheel-guard on
the bridge is too narrow, and the fences need paintmg;
otherwise the bridge is in good condition.
Chelsea Bridge^ North (over North Chaimel^ Mystic River').
The city maintains the part within its limits. The original
structure was bmlt in 1802-3. The piles under the main
bridge were driven in 1880. The upper part of the bridge,
the draw and draw foundation were built in 1895. The
draw has been pamted, the draw pier, machinery and water-
way have been repaired. The iron fence on the main bridge
needs painting. The old fender-guard is in poor condition ;
the concrete walk should be resurfaced.
Chelsea Bridge^ South (over South Channel^ 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, and the draw was raised in 1895. The waterway has
been repaired, the house has been painted, and other minor
work done. 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 Boston to 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 ; otherwise, the bridge is in
good condition.
Circuit-drive Bridge (over Scarhoro'' Pond, in Franklin
Park).
This is an elliptical masonry arch of 30 feet span and 6
feet 3 inches rise. It was built hi 1893, and is maintained
by the Park Department.
Engineering Department. 15
Columbus-avenue Bridge (^over Boston ^ Albany i2._B.).
Tills Is an Iron bridge, built In 1876-77. The Ironwork
below the floor is very rusty and the under planking should
be renewed. Inasmuch as this bridge must be rebuilt
when the tracks from the Providence Division of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad are extended to the
South Union Station, It Is not advisable to do any work other
than Is necessary to keep the bridge In safe condition for
travel.
Commercial Point or Tenean Bridge (^Dorchester').
This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw.
The present bridge was built in 1875. This bridge is in
poor condition ; the draw should be rebuilt and most of the
woodwork above the piles should be renewed.
Commonwealth-avenue Bridge (in Back 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. A part of
the deck of the bridge and the sidewalks have been rebuilt.
The remaining sidewalks and parts of the flooring of the
bridge are in very poor condition and need immediate repairs.
The draw should be raised in order to relieve the excessive
wear on the wheels and tracks ; the paving should be re-
paired 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 this bridge should be rebuilt ; in the mean-
time it should be watched very carefully.
Cornwall-street Bridge (over Stony brook^ West Boxbury).
This is a small wooden bridge, built in 1892. It is in
good condition.
Cottage Farm Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany B.R.^ Brighton).
The present bridge was built in 1895-96. The sidewalk
on the northerly side, and the railings for the girders on the
street lines, have not as yet been built. It is desirable that
16 City Document No. 12.
this work should be done witlioiit further delay, and the
entire bridge put in a finished condition.
With the exception of the plate girders on the outside lines
of the bridge, and some special construction under the side-
walks, the superstructures is composed of 20-inch steel beams
filled between with brick arches and Portland cement con-
crete, on which is a wearing su^ice 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

Cottage-street Foot-bridge (over Flats, Fast Boston).
This is a wooden pile bridge, built in 1889, for foot travel
only. Some of the piles are commencing to decay. The
cross-bracing is poor, and should be renewed where necessary
before winter. The floormg and the fences at the ends of
the bridge need repairing ; otherwise, the bridge is in fair
condition.
Dartmouth-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R. and
Providence Division, New York, New Haven ^ Hartford
R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1878-79. The ironwork
of this bridge needs to be thoroughly cleaned and painted,
but as extensive alterations must be made in this structure
when the railroad tracks are rearranged on account of the
abandonmg of the Park Square Station, this work can be
well postponed until that time.
Dorchester-street Bridge (over Old Colony Division, New
York, New Haven and Hartford R.R).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1869. It is principally
maintained by the railroad company, and was repaired and
put in fan' condition in 1893.
Dover-street Bridge (over Fort Point Channel).
This was originally a wooden pile bridge, built in 1805,
rebuilt in 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 m good condition. Portions of the
foundation of the old draw on the Boston side present a very
unsightly appearance and should be removed. The top of
the do^^^l-steam pier needs renewal.

year an extension has been made to the draw-tender's house,
and other small repairs have been made. The planking along
the waterway and on the top of the pier should be repaired.
Everett- street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany B.R., Brighton').
This is an iron bridge, built in 1891, by the Boston &
Albany Railroad. It is in good condition, and needs only
minor repairs to some of the woodwork. It should be painted
during the present year.
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 sidewalks need re-
planking and the bridge needs painting ; the waterwa3's also

This bridge was built in 1891-92. It is in good condition.
Ferdinand-street Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
This is an iron bridge, built in 1892. The lower planking
is poor, and the ironwork below the floor should be cleaned
and painted. But as this is another bridge which must be
changed to accommodate the new arrangement of the railroad
tracks, all work may be omitted until the changes are made.

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
year, and the fences and facias painted.
Harvard-street Bridge (over Neiv England R.R., Dorchester).
This bridge heretofore has been supported by the New
England railroad; it was a narrow bridge without sidewalks.
Durmg the past year the city has built a sidewalk on tlie out-
of-town side, of wliich it will have the care, the old part of
the bridge still being maintained by the railroad. It is in
fair condition.
Huntington-avenue Bridge (over Boston ^ Albany R.R.).
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. In 1896, inconsequence
of changes in the grade of the avenue, the floor was entirely re-
built, and the ironwork thoroughly cleaned and painted. Two
new plate girders were put in under the westerly sidewalk
for supporting a 42-inch water-main, and the old girder on the
centre line of that sidewalk was moved to the easterly side-
walk. The bridge is now in good condition.

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 m 1884, excepting the draw, which was built in
1875-76. The chords of the draw were rebuilt in 1896.
The waterways have been repaired and other minor work
done. The draw and its bearings need adjustment, and the
stringers on the main bridge, near the draw, need strength-
enmg. The bridge is in fair condition.
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-

Mt. Washington-avenue Bridge (over Fort Point Channel).
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 con-
dition and is so low that it is covered with water at every
high course of tides. A new fender-guard has been built on
the up-stream side of the South Boston end of the bridge.
The sidewalks, roadway pavement, sidewalk and roadway
floorings on the draw and the fender-guards are in poor con-
dition and need early attention, and the water-ways are out of
repair. This bridge should be rebuilt.
Nejjonset Bridge (from Dorchester to Quincg).
The city maintains the part within its limits. 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. Only general re-
pairs have been made. The piers and fender-guards need
extensive repairs and the draw should be painted.
Neptune-road Bridge (over Boston^ Revere Beach ^■' Lynn

The city pays one-half of the cost of maintenance. 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 iron leaf draw. The bridge is in 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, sidewalks and the woodwork on the main bridge near
the channel need thorough repairing ; the top of the pier and
the faces of the water-way also need repairing ; this bridge
will probably be rebuilt within a couple of years, owing to
the abolishmg of the grade crossing of the Boston & Maine
Railroad.

Boston and one from Cambridge. The city pays one-half of
24 City Document No. 12.
the cost of maintenance. This is a wooden pile bridjye, 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. Some of the piles
at the Boston end of the bridge have been recapped, the road-
way paving has been repaired, and ordinary repairs have been
made. A few additional piles, caps and stringers are needed ;
the spur-shores are poor, and some of them should be refitted.

pilmg, fender-guard, water-way and draw-pier need repah'ing,
and the draw-pier needs lengthenmg and the stringers at the
rear of the draw-arms should be screw-bolted to the girder-
caps, and new chains should be provided on the di'aw. The
sidewalk, wheel-guards and deck were renewed the past year.
Western-avenue Bridge (^from Brighton to Watertotvu").
The city maintains the part within its limits. This is a
wooden njle bridge, with an iron draw, and was rebuilt m

road, near Dorchester station, is a narrow bridge, in a dan-
gerous condition ; and the bridge On Silver street needs
repairing.
•SURVEYING DIVISION.
The work of the Surveying Division has increased materi-
ally the past year, owing largely to new legislation, also to
the great amount of work done by the Paving and Sewer
Divisions of the Street Department and to the extensive sur-
veys made for the laying out of Columbia road.
Nine thousand and two orders, for property owners and
builders and the various city departments, were attended to
during 1897-98 m comparison with 8,419 for 1896-97.
The principal cause for the increased amount of work
performed was in carrying out the provisions of chapter 426
of the Acts of 1897. Under this act surveys for taking
land to be used for the construction of servers and surface
drains are now prepared by this division, under the direction
of the Board of Street Commissioners, as are also all sur-
veys for streams or water-courses where they are to be
widened or diverted from their origmal channels.
These surveys are accurately made, as under the act the
Street Commissioners, in making the takings from the sev-
eral estates, are required to file in the Registry of Deeds for
the county of Suffolk a description of the several parcels of
26 City Docibient No. 12.
land " as certainly as is required in a common conveyance of
land."
Beginning October 1, 1897, two surveying parties were
assigned to attend to this work. Since that time seven plans
have been made showing surveys of the amount of land taken
for sewer purposes from forty-eight different estates for a
total length of over a mile.
Fourteen plans have also been completed, showing pro-
posed changes in brooks, streams, etc., for care of surface
water, covering a distance of three and one-half miles, show-
ing the amount of land taken from 123 estates. Other plans
covering a length of more than four miles are well under way
and nearing completion.
The length of edgestone measured for the Street Depart-
ment shows an increase over the preceding year of 29 per
cent. ; the amount of block-stone and round-stone paving
measured shows an increase of 55 per cent, and 47 per cent,
respectively ; tlie number of square yards of brick sidewalk
measured in excess of last year shows an increase of 38 per
cent, and of coal tar concrete 35 per cent. There were
13,599 square yards of artifical stone sidewalk measured,
this amount being only slightly in excess of last year.
The laying out and construction of Columbia road was
ordered August 31, 1897, under a special act of the Legis-
lature, chapter 394 of the Acts of 1897.
The surveys were commenced April 12, 1897, and com-
pleted Jime 10, 1897, the work being performed by two sur-
veying parties, one levelling party and two draughtsmen.
The length of Columbia road, from Blue Hill avenue, at
Franklin Park to Marine Park, South Boston, is four and
one-quarter miles, the wddth, as laid out between Blue Hill
avenue and Edward Everett square, a distance of 9,200 feet,
is 110 feet, except for a short distance near and south of
Dudley street ; from Edward Everett square to Marine Park
it is laid out at various widths. The plans show the amount
of land in square feet taken from 120 different estates, prop-
erty owners' names, all buildings and their front elevations,
the established grade, widths of sidewalks, traffic road, car
reservation, parkway, planting spaces, the location of 122
catch-basins, etc.
One surveying party was employed from July 1 to Sep-
tember 15, 1897, for the Water Department, making surveys
of the territoiy bounded by the Charles river. Beacon, Mt.
Vernon, Temple, Lynde and Leverett streets, in connection
with the preparation of plans showmg the location of water
pipes.
Engikeertng Department. 27
To accomplish all of the above additional work it was
found necessary to use at different times several surveying
parties from the Street Laying-out Department.
Estimates for construction of the following streets were
prepared and submitted to the Board of Street Commission-
ers : Capen street, Dorchester, from Evans street to Selden
street ; Clarence place, Dorchester ; Wordsworth street. East
Boston, between Saratoga street and Pope street ; Boylston
terrace, Jamaica Plain, and AUston Heights, Brighton.
A total of thirty-seven plans submitted by property owners
to the Street Commissioners, for the board's approval, have
been examined as to the proper lines and grades, and either
approved or revised. This frequently necessitates sending a
surveying or levelling party to the street for additional
information.
Locations for 910 catch-basins on 191 streets were fur-
nished the Paving and Sewer divisions of the Street Depart-
ment. This work takes considerable time in looking up
established grades and other necessary data in order to fix
upon the best positions.
Estimates for the amount of edgestone required in front
of forty-eight estates on thirty-eight different streets was fur-
nished the Paving Division of the Street Department ; also
twenty-two edgestone and sidewalk assessment plans were
made.
Lot frontages were obtained for the Sewer Division, for
sewer assessment purposes, on twenty different streets, and
101 accident and other plans were made for the Law Depart-
ment.
There are now filed in the Surveying Division a total
of 345 plans, size 4 feet by 4 feet, made by the Board of
Survey and the Board of Street Commissioners, under the
provisions of chapter 323 of the Acts of 1891, and amend-
ments thereto, showing the proposed development of terri-
tory in the outlymg districts.
A complete alphabetical street index, covering these plans
has been made during the past year.
Some of the important buildings where street Imes and
grades have been given to architects, engineers, builders and
property owners, are as follows, viz. : Masonic Temple, at the
corner of Tremont and Boylston streets ; Hotel Reynolds, at
the corner of Boylston street and Bumstead court ; South

One hundred and fifty-four plans and profiles representing
a total length of 136,632 feet or 25.88 miles, showing 1,481
buildings, property owners' names, established grades, areas of
land taken, or to be taken, for street widenings or relocations,
etc , were completed for the Street Laying-out Department,
and for the Paving Division of the Street Department.

No. 5, seized by the Metropolitan Water Board, 1,700,-
000,000 gallons were stored as a reserve. This was rendered
possible by the completion of the stripping contracts in the
lower portions of the reservoir. The water was raised to
within 16 feet of the top of the spillway without interfering
with the completion of the remaining sections under contract.

No water has been drawn from this pond for the supply of
the city during the year 1897. On January 1, 1897, the
surface of the pond was at grade 148.78 or .47 feet below
high water mark ; rising slowly, a grade 149.50 was reached on
April It).
During May and June it remained at about this point and
starting to fall very slowly in July was at grade 147.88 on
October 24. On January 1, 1898, the water surface was at
grade 148.75. The Framingham Water Company has drawn
117,600,000 gallons from the pond during the year.

On January 1, 1897, the surface of the lake was at grade
127.43 or 6.93 feet below high water mark; filling gradually,
high water mark was reached on April 13. It remained at
about this point until the latter part of June when the water
surface fell, reaching its lowest point, grade 129.43, on
November 1.
Since that time the lake filled, and on January 1, 1898, it
was at grade 130.87. The beds for filtering the water of
Pegan brook have been in use almost continuously during
the year and 249,965,000 gallons have been pumped upon
them. No difficulty has been experienced in their operation
durmg the winter season. Water has been drawn from the
different reservoirs as follows :

The Cochituate aqueduct has been used 361.5 days and
delivered 5,738,703,800 gallons. Both aqueducts have been
cleaned during the year, and all necessary repairs made.

At the West Roxbury pumpmg-station the daily average
quantity pumped was 283,300 gallons, an increase of 11.9
per cent, over the amount pumped in the previous year. At
the East Boston pumping-station 447,200 gallons have been
pumped for the supply of the high-service district, and
61,800 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 has been necessary to maintain the pump-
mg jDlant on Blue Hill avenue and Wayne street during the
year, and to keep it in constant service.
Mystic Lake.
On January 1, 1897, the water surface was 1.66 feet below

Corrosion of Pipes by Electrolysis.
A general and marked improvement has been observed
during the past year in the electrical conditions of the
water-pipes throughout the city. This result has been at-
tained largely by reason of the work done by the Boston
Elevated Railway Company, for the improvement of its re-
turn circuits. While the danger districts in the city have
been apparently reduced in number, yet sections still remain
in which the conditions are far from satisfactory, and sys-
tematic and frequent observations are necessary to guard
against damage in the future.
The electrical investigations have been carried on during
Engineerin^g Departjient. 83
the year by Messrs. Stone & Webster. Details of their work
are given in the following report :
Stone & Webster, Electrical Experts and Engineers.
4 Post Office square, Boston, March 7, 1898.
WiLLiAiM Jackson, Esq.,
Cit^ Engineer, Boston^ llass. :
Dear Sir : At your request in the autumn of last year,
1897, we continued our investigation of the electrical condi-
tions of the water-pipes in the City of Boston, and beg to
report as follows :
We first made an examination throughout the entire city
to find whether there was any general improvement in condi-
tions over the previous years, and also to find whether there
were any places that needed special investigation.
We foimd that the electrical conditions of the piping in
nearly all sections of the city were such as to indicate less
liability to corrosion from electrolysis than in the year 1896.
We did not take as many readings in the general survey
of the city as in former years, because we have foimd that
there is in no case a serious danger district local to two or
thi'ee hydrants. We therefore took only about 600 hydrant
readmgs, while m 1896 we took about 1,000. The improve-
ment in general conditions is shown by the small number of
danger districts, and by the decrease in the percentage of
positive readings, and by the decrease m the average size
of the negative readings. This is shown approximately in
the following table, which is based upon readings taken in the
same localities each year. The figures are not exact, as some
of the readmgs are unreliable, and were therefore not taken
into account in making up the averages :
1896. 1897.
Per cent, of Positive readings . . . 28 19
Average size of Positive readings in volts, .009 .009
Average size of Negative readings in volts, .023 .006
Negative readings mdicate safety to the pipes at the points
at which the readings are taken, because they show that the
current is flowing on to the pipes at these places. It is im-
portant, however, to reduce the size of the negative readmgs
as well as that of the positive, because high negative readings
show that there is a strong tendency for the current to flow
on to the pipes, and any current which flows on must pass
through the joints to be taken off at other points. The size
84 City Document No. 12.
of tlie readings must not, however, be considered as a very
accurate indication of the average conditions for the two j^ears,
because a change in the amount of moisture in the earth
might make a very decided change in the size of the readings.
One exception to the general improvement was found in
the Dorchester district. Here the new power station on
Freeport street was started by the West End Street Railway
Company about a year ago, and in the neighborhood of the
station we found many places where there were indications of
current flowing off the service pipes sufficient, probably, to
do them decided mjury in the course of a few years. We
had excavations made on Park and Freeport streets and
found signs of corrosion in four out of six places examined,
and in one of these places the pipe had been badly attacked.
We think, therefore, that this district should be carefully
watched so long as there are indications of general or large
local flow of current from the pipes to the ground. In
the part of Park street where the indications of danger were
most decided there are no car tracks, but the feeder and
return wires are laid under the street in a wooden conduit,
the feeders bemg, we are told, encased in tubing, and the
returns laid in a bed of cement. Between the outside of the
wooden conduit, which was damp, and the service pipes, we
found a difference of potential as high as .3 of a volt, a suf-
ficient indication that a considerable current might be flowing
between them.
In addition to the general survey we have made a special
mvestigation on the boundary lines of the citj^ and find that
there is a tendency for the current to flow between the piping
system of Boston and those of the surrounding to'^^ais. In
general the flow of current is from other piping systems to
that of Boston, but four places were found where the current
flowed first in one direction and tlien m the other, though
apparently not in very large quantities. These four places
were between Newton and Boston on Tremont street ;
between Brookline and Boston on Huntington avenue ; be-
tween Cambridge and Boston on Western avenue, and between
Hyde Park and Boston on River street. The danger around
the boundary lines is, therefore, in most cases, to the pipes of
surrounding towns, but as the current flowing mto the Boston
piping S3^stem must leave it again and must flow through the
joints, there is a chance that electrol}i;ic action may be pro-
duced.
It is probable that the amount of current flowing in this
way is not sufficient to do any serious damage, but we think
that the matter should be examined into more carefully to

make sure that this is the case. We had hoped to obtain
more completehiformatioiion the subject durmg the fall, and
had prepared a special testing outfit for the work, but were
able to use it only a few times owing to the setting in of the
cold weather.
It seems to us advisable to continue investigation along
the boundaries more carefully in the spring, and to take
measurements from time to time in the Dorchester district
and certam other localities.
The accompanying blue prints show the location of posi-
tive readings of .005 volt or higher for 1896 and 1897.
At 3'our request we have secured the following detailed
information regarding the work done by the Boston Elevated
Railway Company to improve its return ck'cuit :
" The company has complete records of the electrical condi-
tions in the different parts of its system and examinations
and tests are made often enough to show any material
changes that may occur. For each part of the track a dia-
gram is prepared showing the difference of potential between
the track and water-pipes and also the current that will flow
when these two points are connected.
" On many of these diagrams the resistances of the rail joints
are also plotted. These diagrams are on uniform sheets,
which are bound together so that the data for all parts of the
system can be readily inspected at any time.
" In the last three years a large amount of copper has been
put in to increase the efficiency of the return circuit. This
copper is in the form of 500,000 circular mil. cable. The
following table shows the increase in the amount installed:
"Return circuit copper in 1895 . . . 644,000 lbs.
" " " " 1896 . . . 902,000 "
" 1897 . . . 1,370,000 "
"This last amount is 4,680 lbs. per mile of track.
" The efficiency of the rail bonds has been greatly increased,
and all new track is now bonded with two No. 0000 copper
bonds.
" A large amount of reconstruction has been done, and in all
this work modern methods of bonding have been employed./^
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Stone & Webster.
Distribution.
On the Cochituate Works 26.6 miles of pipe were laid and
7.5 miles were abandoned, making a net increase of 19.1
miles and a total length of 627.1 miles.
86 City Document No. 12.
A statement of the larger sizes of mains laid during the
past year is as follows :
In Fisher avenue, Brookline, between Boylston street and
Fisher-Hill Reservoir, a 42-inch pipe was laid for a distance
of 1,108 feet, giving a second line where the high-service
supply for the city has been dependent upon a single 30-inch
pipe ; the Dorchester liigh service has been advanced by
laying 5,100 Imear feet of 36-inch pipe in Columbus avenue,
Walnut park and Georgia street, and 1,506 linear feet in Blue
Hill avenue, Geneva avenue and Bowdoin street, making the
36-incli line continuous as far as Grove Hall, with the excep-
tion of a short gap at the crossing of Stony brook which can
be filled up early in the coming season. Owing to the fact
that Congress street is about to be raised over the tracks of
the N. E. R.R., it was necessary to lay 1,520 linear feet of
30-inch and 24-inch pipe in Danby and C streets, abandon-
ing at the same time 1,464 linear feet of 30-inch and 24-inch
pipe in D and Congress streets, the latter work being done
by contract; in South street and the roadway of Arnold
arboretum, 1,500 linear feet of 24-inch pipe was laid (about
840 feet of it by contract) forming part of the West Rox-
bury high service. The 24-inch low service in Dorchester
was extended, by laying a 20-inch main in Adams street for
a distance of 5,474 feet, making a needed improvement in
the service at Neponset and Milton Lower Mills. For better
fire protection a 20-inch pipe was laid in Canton street, from
Albany to Tremont street, a distance of 2,554 feet, connect-
ing with the large supply mains in the latter street. In East
Boston, 1,500 linear feet of 20-inch j)ipe was laid in Border
street, from jNIaverick street to Central square, in extension
of the 20-inch line laid last season.
An unusually large amount of relaying has been done
during the year ; among the important pieces of work of this
class are the following : Washington street, Kneeland street
to Dover street, relaid with 16-inch ; State street, Washing-
ton street to Commercial street, relaid with 16-inch ; Maver-
ick street. New street to Chelsea street, relaid with 16-inch ;
Boylston street, Tremont street to Park square, relaid with
12-inch ; Tremont street, Boylston street to Warrenton
street, relaid with 12-inch.
The necessity for relaying must become more urgent each
successive year. Up to 1853 about 731 miles of water-pipes,
less than twelve inches in diameter, had been laid in the
streets of the city, and during the succeeding twenty years
163 additional miles of these smaller pipes were laid ; a large
part of this pipe is still in service, dangerously weak in places,
Engineering Departivient. 87
and everywhere badly tuberculated and filled up ; two pieces
of pipe have been recently taken out while relaying, in which
the sound iron remaining represented in one case but 51 per
cent., and in the other but 59 per cent, of the original sec-
tion, the unsound parts being soft enough to be readily cut
with a knife and extending in places almost through the
pipe ; the destruction of the iron in these two cases was not
caused by the action of electricity generated for street rail-
way purposes, electric lighting, etc., but was due to the soil
in which the pipe was laid. In relaying the older pipes
opportunity is taken in almost every case to increase the
sizes, largely for the purpose of affordmg better fire protec-
tion. How important this action is, can be fully realized
when it is remembered that the "hand tubs" of 1850 have
given place to the modern steam fire-engines, some of which,
now in commission in Boston, have a capacity of 1,350 gal-
lons per minute.
On the jNIystic Works the distributing mains have been
extended 3.2 miles, and 4.9 miles have beenrelaid; the total
length now connected with the system is 187.2 miles.
There has been an increase of 178 in the number of
hydrants connected with the Cochituate Works, making a
total number of 6,842.
On the Mystic Works 78 hydrants have been added, and
the total number in service is 1,718.
During the year all main-pipe and other castings have been
carefully inspected at the foundries; plans have been made
for all pipe laid and lines and grades given when required ;
217 petitions for main pipe have been reported upon and 68
contracts for rock excavation have been made. The large
number of patterns of special castings, valves, hydrants, etc.,
have been marked with brass numbers, catalogued and sys-
tematically arranged in a storeroom. Various studies have
been made, and a large amount of general routine work has
been done.
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 Sudbury-river water-shed since 1875, and on the Mys-
tic water-shed since 1878. These will be found valuable for
future reference.

[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF
PARK COMMISSIONERS.]
RiVERWAY.
Plans were prepared during the early part of the year by
Mr. A. H. French, engineer of the town of Brookline, in
consultation with this department, for building the bridge
on Longwood avenue. The construction of the bridge is
now in progress.
Jamaica Park.
The work of grading the drive and adjoinmg grounds on
the westerly side of the pond, under a contract with F. A.
Snow, dated December 14, 1896, was completed in the
autumn. The total payments under the contract were
$7,584.60.
Five hundred and fifty-five lineal feet of wall, for support-
ing the drive and the slope above it, were built by the Park
Department force.
The Metropolitan Water Board has laid a 48-inch water
pipe through this drive from Perkins street to the Arborway.
The pumps and boilers at the pumping station were re-
paired in the spring, the mains from the pumps to the reser-
voir on Franklin Park have all been laid, and the reservoir
is now ready for use. It will be necessary to erect and con-
nect the water-posts with the main pipe before the water from
this source can be used for watering the roads.
Arborway.
The wall, built under a contract with Thomas F. Broder-
ick, dated December 1, 1896, was finished on July 15, at a
cost of ii<5,670.
On June 21 a contract was made with John A. Whitte-
more's Sons for building a wall on the line between the park-
way and the grounds of the Bussey Institution; this work
was completed on October 2, at a cost of 82,389.50.
Arnold Arboretum and Bussey Park.
The work of grading the road on the northerly side of
Peter's hill, from the junction of Bussey and South streets
to the junction of Bussey and Walter streets, under a con-
tract with James Doonan, dated October 5, 1896, was com-
128 City Document No. 12.
pleted on September 28 ; the amount of the final estimate
was ^7,388.57.
A plan was made of the land to be taken for an entrance
to the Arboretum from Fairview street.
Franklin Park.
The drauis from the carriage shelter at the Refectory have
been finished and underground wires laid and lamps erected
for the lighting of the section of the park between the en-
trance opposite Columbia road and the Refectory.
Strandway.
In June a plan was made of the land afterwards taken for
park purposes between the Strandway and the Old Colony
Division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road.
The work of filling, under a contract with Hugh Farrell,
dated October 19, 1896, was continued during the year.
The extensions of the storm overflow sewers at I and N
streets have been completed at a cost of ^$1, 618. 70 for the
former and of 12,887.50 for the latter.
Work under a contract with Jones & Meehan, dated
June 4, 1896, for building a wall and grading between O
street and Marine Park was continued until June 29, when
the work was taken possession of by the Park Commissioners
and bids were advertised for finishing the work. On July
26 a contract was made with Simon J. Donavan for complet-
ing the work, which work is now in progress.
Marine Park.
During the summer it was discovered that a cast-iron sec-
tion in each of six of the columns supporting the iron pier
had cracked vertically ; the cracks in each case are in a
single section of a column between high and low water; they
were probably caused by the freezing of water which had in
some way leaked into the column and filled the space be-
tween the iron and the concrete. The cracks will cause no
iujury to the structure except in appearance. A report was
made to the Superintendent of Parks recommending that the
cracks be filled by calking them with a mixture of sal-am-
moniac and iron filings. This method was followed success-
fully in the case of two of the columns which cracked soon
after the pier was built.
Engineerhstg Department. 129
North End Beach.
The sea-wall for supporting the approach to the westerly
pier, built under a contract with William L. Miller, was com-
pleted on May 20, at a cost of 18,358.95.
On February 19 a contract was made with Alexander
Mclnnis for building two promenade and bath-house piers.
This work was finished on November 20, at a cost of fBl,-
090.35. The westerly pier is located with its outer line five
feet back from the Harbor Commissioners' line ; it is fifty feet
in width and extends from the line dividing the park prop-
erty from that of the Street Department, easterl}'^, a distance
of 442 feet, the easterly end being semi-circular in plan.
The pier has two floors and the upper floor is covered by a
roof for a length of 100 feet at the outer or easterly end.
Connection is made with the shore by separate approaches to
both floors at the westerly end, each approach starting from
the abutment at grade 21 above city base. The approaches
are each 19 feet wide and about 90 feet long.
The work included the building of the pier for the founda-
tion of the men's bath-house, which is built parallel to the
division line between the Park and Street Department proper-
ties ; the portion of the pier next to the shore for a width of
19 feet and a length of 60 feet has the floor at grade 18 and
is covered by the main building ; the remaining portion is
15 feet 6 inches wide and 168 feet long.
A fender-guard was built on the property line and also
along the Harbor Commissioners' line to and arovmd the
curved end of the pier.
The approach to the water from the bath-house is by a
passageway under the shore end of the approaches to the
promenade pier, to a platform from which inclmes extend to
the beach, one towards the shore to about high-water line and
the other towards the water to about mean low-water.
The easterly pier extends from the wall built in 1896 par-
allel with and 7 feet 8 inches from the division line between
the park property and that of Fiske's wharf; it is 20 feet
in width and 322 feet in length ; it has but one floor, but is
built of sufficient strength to support a second floor if it shall
be found desirable in the future ; the pier is covered by a
roof except for a length of 45 feet at the shore end; a
fender-guard was built on the property line and around the
end of the pier.
Both piers are of wood, the piles and spurshores being of
oak ; the caps, stringers and floor plank are of hard pine, all
surfaces exposed to view being planed. The roofs are
130 City Document No. 12.
supported b}'^ hard-pine posts, girders and rafters with spruce
purlins and boarding all planed; the roofs are covered with
canvas, well painted. The hard pine is finished in oil and
the spruce is painted.
On September 10 a contract was made with the James
Russell Boiler Works Company for building iron railings on
both of the piers and on the masonry approaclies to them.
This work was completed on December 31, at a cost of
$3,678. The railing is 3 feet 6 inches high ; the posts
are of cast-iron, about 13 feet 6 inches apart on centres,
every alternate post on the uncovered portion of the piers
being a lamp-post; there are two rails of two and one-half
inch wrought-iron pipe with three-quarter inch round wrought-
iron palings between the rails. The total length of the rail-
ing is 2,978 feet.
A wooden approach from the women's bath-house to the
beach was built in June ; this is similar to the approach from
the men's bath-house.
Drains were built connecting the two bath-houses with the
sewer in Commercial street.
Copp's Hill Tekeage.
The work being done under a contract with Perkins &
White, dated September 16, 1896, was finished on September
24, 1897. The total payments under the contract were
$24,606.57. This vrork consisted of the doing of all grading
and loaming, the building of all walls, drains and artificial
stone walks on this park. Electric wires for lighting have
been laid in conduits and two posts for arc lamps have been
erected. A drinkmg-fountain has been placed on the upper
terrace. This park is now completed with the exception of
the planting.
PLAYGROUNDS.
First-street Playground.
This ground was cleared and graded early in the year and
the surplus loam was carted to the Strandway and stored for
use there.
Fellows-street Playground.
Drains and catch-basins for this ground w^ere built in the
spring, and the land taken for an extension of the playground
has been filled to the grade of the adjoining streets.
ENGESTEERmG DePAKTMENT. 131
Neponset Playground.
The work of construction done here consisted of the build-
ing of a bulkhead with tide-gates on the easterly side of
Tenean street across the creek which drains this territory.
This allows a free outlet for the water from the playground,
but prevents the tide-water from backing up on to it.
132 City Document No. 12.
[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE
STREET DEPARTMENT.]
The work done for the Street Department covers the same
ground as in previous years, namely, the supervision of the con-
struction of assessment streets, boulevards and street paving.
The repairs on the asphalt pavements upon which the mainte-
nance guaranty has expired have been supervised in accordance
with your directions, and a table is annexed gi^^ng repairs and
cost thereof in detail ; a table has also been prepared showing the
details of all asphalt pavement in the city and a copy is enclosed.
On Blue Hill avenue, the work of construction has been com-
pleted to Walk Hill street ; from that point to Mattapan, the
construction awaits the decision of the courts as to the method
of abolishing the grade crossing on the New England Railroad.
On Columbus-avenue extension, the section from West Walnut
Park to Ritchie street has been built during the year. The work
of constructing the new Stony Brook channel has delayed the
completion of the remainder of the street, but it is expected that
the entire avenue will be completed in 1898.
On Commonwealth avenue, a certain amount of work was done
near Chestnut Hill avenue late in the season.
Columbia road was laid out during the year, and work
promptly commenced upon it. The work done consists of a large
amount of earth and rock excavation, between Blue Hill avenue
and the New England Railroad.
The table showing lengths and areas of paving on accepted
streets has been brought up to February 1, 1898.
Street pa\nng has been supervised in all cases where requested.
All pacing laid on the before-mentioned avenues is included in
the quantities given. All granite paving laid on concrete base
has been laid with pitch and pebble joints.

MISCELLANEOUS WORK AND CONSTRUCTION IN
1897.
Canal Bridge.
Plans and specifications were made for rebuilding the up-
stream sidewalk on the Cambridge side of the draw ; the
work was done by W. H. Ryau & Co., under a contract
dated May 31 ; the cost of the contract was $1,749.51.
Congress-street Grade Crossing.
The Commission appointed by the Superior Court to pre-
scribe the manner of abolishing the grade crossing of Con-
gress street and the tracks of the New England Railroad in
South Boston, filed its report on March 10, 1897. The re-
port was accepted by the court and a decree was entered
March 13, 1897. This decree provides for the discontinu-
ance of " that portion of Congress street east of a point on
that street about 388.18 feet east of the easterly boundary
of A street, over the railroad and land of the New England
Railroad Company to the westerly side line of B street,"
and in substitution therefor lays out a new street 100
feet wide m extension of Summer street from the harbor
line on the Boston side of Fort Pouit channel to a junction
with Congress street, as heretofore planned, at L-street bridge.
The street will cross Fort Point channel by a steel plate
girder bridge resting on masonry piers and abutments and a
double retractile draw, havmg a clear channel-way of fifty
feet for the passage of vessels.
On the South Boston side of the channel the new street
will be filled solid, except where it crosses A street, the tracks
of the New England Railroad, B and C streets ; at each of
these crossings substantial steel bridges will be built having
paved roadways of granite and asphalt sidewalks. The
bridges will be supported by masonry abutments and steel
piers resting on masonry foundations.
The entire length of the new street will have a roadway
of seventy-six feet wide between curb lines paved with
granite and two sidewalks each twelve feet wide. The
gradient of this new street ascends from the established
grade of Summer-street extension on the westerly side of
Fort Point channel at a rate not exceeding 1.75 feet per
100 feet to A street, thence at a gradient of less than one
foot per 100 feet to the raih'oad yard, thence level across the
Engineering Department. 157
railroad tracks allowing a clear head room of about nineteen
feet, thence descending at a rate of less than nine inches per
100 feet to C street and thence descending to the grade of
L-streef bridge -with a gradient not exceeding 1.50 feet per
100 feet.
Three approaches to the new street are laid out by the
decree ; the first approach calls for the widening of Congress
street to a width of eighty feet, from Atlantic avenue to the
harbor line on the westerly side of Fort Point channel, and
the building of a new street eighty feet wdde along the
harbor line from Congress street to Summer-street exten-
sion ; the second approach calls for a new street sixty feet
wide, from A street along substantially the present location
of the New England Railroad to a junction with the new
street near the harbor line on the easterly side of Fort
Point Channel ; and the third approach calls for the build-
ing of portions of three streets already planned on the land
of the Commonwealth, part of D street eighty feet wide
from its intersection with the new street to Fargo, part of
Fargo street fifty feet wide between D and C streets and part
of C street sixty feet wide between Fargo street and Con-
gress street. The gradient of the first approach does not
exceed 1.60 feet per 100 feet and the gradients of the
second and third approaches do not exceed 1.70 feet per 100
feet. All of the approaches are to have granite paved road-
ways and brick or crushed stone sidewalks.
The decree provides that the New England Railroad Com-
pany shall build the bridge over its land, including the abut-
ments, and that the City of Boston shall do all the other
work required.
The decree also provides that the expense of the whole
work shall be borne jointly by the Commonwealth, the City
of Boston, and the New England Railroad Company, in the
following proportions : the Commonwealth 31 per cent., the
city 80 per cent, and the railroad company 39 per cent.
The necessarj^ authority for the construction of the bridge
across Fort Point channel has been obtained from the Secre-
tary of War, as given in the following license :

Acting Secretary of War.
The general plan for the bridge across Fort Point channel
has also been apj)roved by the Board of Harbor and Land
Commissioners. Surveys have been made for the entire
length of the new street and borings have been taken to
ascertain the character of the material upon which will rest
the foundations of all the abutments and piers.
A contract was made on October 7, 1897, with Ross &
Fowler for building the abutment on the westerly line of
Fort Point channel for the sum of $14,300, and the work is
now nearly completed.
The plans and specifications for the masonry piers in and
the abutment on the westerly line of P^ort Point channel are
all finished and bids for doing the work will be received
early in INlarch, calling for the completion of the work before
September 1, 1898. The plans for the other structures to
be built by the city are well under way and it is expected that
the whole work will be placed under contract during the
summer.
Dorchester avenue and Summer-street Extension.
The work of building a sea-wall along the harbor line be-
tween its intersection with Federal street and its intersection
160 City Document No. 12.
with the southerl}^ line of Summer-street extension has been
carried on during the year under contracts made with W. L.
Miller & W. H. Ellis dated April 6, June 23, and August
10, 1897, and with W. J. Lawler dated January 14, 1898.
For the remaining sections of the wall adjoining Federal-
street bridge, bids will be received early in February requir-

At the present time about 1,500 feet of wall has been built
extendmg f rom Summer street to a point about 450 feet south
of Mount Washington-avenue bridge, excepting a short
section at this bridge. Work on this section has been de-
layed because of the necessary changes required to be made
in the large sewer which discharges at this point.
A large amount of the filling back of the wall has been
deposited; part of this filling was dredged material from
Mystic river and LjTin harbor, but the most of it has been
obtained from excavations made in various parts of the city
for the foundations of large buildings, notably the new
Masonic Temple.
Plans have been prepared for the widening of Federal-
street bridge at the end adjoming Dorchester-avenue exten-
sion and this work will be finished early in the summer.
