Canal or Craigie'% Bridge.

This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden turn-table
draw. The city pays one-half the cost of maintenance. The
bridge was originally built in 1808, was rebuilt in 1852, and
was again rebuilt and widened in 1874. The bridge is in the
care of the Commissioners for the Boston and Cambridge
Bridges. Only ordinary repairs have been made. The side-
walks, sidewalk bulkheads, roadway planking near the curbs,
and fencing that have not recently been rebuilt are poor, and
need rebuilding ; additional stringers are needed near the
draw, and some pile work is needed near the ends of the
bridge ; some of the spur-shores need refitting ; the draw-
track circle and wharf need extensive repairs, and part of the
fender-guard should be removed, as it is in a dangerous con-
dition. This bridge will probabl}^ be in service but a year
or two longer, as it is proposed to build a dam on its site.

Castle Island Foot-bridge (^from 3Iarine 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
desired by the United States authorities the island can be
cut off from the mainland. A small amount of replanking
has been done. Repairs are needed on the fence and plank-
ing, and the bridge should be painted ; otherwise the bridge
is in fair condition.

Central-avenue Bridge (over Neponset river, Dorchester
Lower Mills^.

This is an iron bridge, and was built in 1876. The city

wheel-guard is too low and narrow and the fences need
repairing and painting; otherwise the bridge is in good
condition.

Chelsea Bridge, North (over North Channel, Mystic river^.

The city maintains the part within its limits. The original
structure was built in 1802-03. The piles under the main
bridge were driven in 1880. The upper part of the bridge,
the draw and draw foundations were built in 1895. The
draw-way was widened to 60 feet in 1900, the draw founda-
tion being enlarged, the draw lengthened, and the draw piers
built. Ordinary repairs have been made ; the tops of some
of the old piles have begun to decay ; the old fender-guards
are in poor condition ; some of the sidewalk planking needs
renewal, and many palings on the fence need straightening ;
otherwise tlie bridge is in good condition.

the bridge above the girder caps was rebuilt at a higher
grade, and the draw was raised in 1895. The corner of the
up-stream wing has been rebuilt and ordinary repairs have
been made. A new float stage for a public landing has been
placed back of the pier. The fender-guards are in poor con-
dition ; tlie top of the pier should be rebuilt ; the waterway
should be repaired ; the woodwork on the sidewalks should
be renewed ; two iron brackets on the draw should be repaired,
and several pieces of track should be renewed.

Chelsea-street Bridge {from East Boston to Chelsea').

This is a wooden pile bridge, Avith an iron swing draw ;
the original bridge was built in 1834; was rebuilt in 1848,
1873, and again in 1894-95. In November the Massachu-
setts Pipe Line Gas Company put two siphons across the
channels between the bridge and the up-stream fencler-guard,
removing a few piles which were later replaced by others.
The decking is in poor condition and will soon need renewal ;
a new latch and a new wheel for operating the adjusting
screw should be provided, and the draw should be painted.

crete, on which is a wearing surface of Sicilian rock asphalt.
It is in good condition.

Cottage-street Foot-bridge (over flats, Fast Boston) .

This is a wooden pile bridge, built in 1889, for foot travel
only. A great quantity of ice has formed over the flats,
some of it under the bridge being four feet thick, and,
becoming attached to the piles, has pulled up or broken
many of them, necessitating the closing of the bridge.

Dartmouth-street Bridges (over Boston ^ Albany R.R. and
Providence Division, New York, New Haven ^' Hart-
ford B.R.).

The bridge over the Boston & Albany Railroad was built
in 1878-79, and is maintained by the city. Very extensive
changes were made in this bridge in 1899 by the railroad
companies, necessitated by the new location of the tracks of
the N. Y., N. H. & H. R.R. leading to the South Station and
the abandoning of the tracks connecting this road with the
B. & A. R.R. The bridge has been sheathed, and a new
sidewalk built on the easterly side. The bridge over the
tracks of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R.R. was built in 1899, and
is maintained by the railroad company.

Dorchester-avenue Bridge (over Old Colony Division, New
York, Neiv Haven <|' Hartford R.R.).

This is a steel bridge, built in 1900 over the new location

Dorchester-street Bridge (over Old Colony Division, New
York J New Haven tf- 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 fair condition in 1893. The railroad company has
abandoned its location at this place and part of the bridge
has been removed, and the remainder will be used but a few
months longer; the bridge is of light structure, and some
shores have been placed below it.

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. General repairs have been made ; some new track
is needed for the draw ; the rack should be realigned in order
that the draw may be reversed ; the masonry piers need
repointing. The draw binds on the Boston end during hot
weather. The lower planking on the draw is in poor condi-
tion and needs patching. Repairs are needed on the
waterway, and the platform and the steps to the float need
rebuilding ; otherwise the bridge is in good condition.

Ellicott-arch Bridge (in Franklin Park).

This is a semi-circular 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).

Tliis bridge is in the care of the Commissioners for the
Boston and Cambridge Bridges ; the city pays one-half the
cost of maintenance. It is a wooden pile bridge, with a
wooden leaf draw, and was originally built in 1850 ; the draw
was rebuilt and the adjoining stringers renewed in 1891 ; the
otlier woodwork above the piles was renewed and some piles
of the Boston side were driven in 1896. One-half of the
draw has been redecked and ordinary repairs made. Some
of the stringers adjoining the draw-arms have begun to
decay, and should be renewed ; the planking on the other
half of the draw needs renewal, and that on the Cambridge
end of the main bridge needs repairing. It is probable that
this bridge will soon be rebuilt at a higher grade to abolish
the grade crossing.

22 City Document No. 15.

Everett-street Bridge (^over Boaton <|^ Albany R.R., Brighton).

Tliis is an iron bridge, built in 1891, by the Boston &'

cleaned and painted and the sidewalks repaired.

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. General repairs have been
made. The sidewalks should be resurfaced in part, the
wharves and fender-guards repaired, and the landing shoes
for the draw reset. Additional stops are needed for the draw,
and a spare truck should be provided ; some of the spur-
shores have begun to decay, and should be refitted ; the
planking and irons on the waterway and the ladder sho\ild
be repaired ; the wreckage among the piling should be
removed.

Granite Bridge (^from Dorchester to 3Iilton').

■ This is a wooden pile bridge, with a wooden leaf draw.
The city maintains the part within its limits. The bridge
was originally built in 1837. It is in poor condition, and
should be rebuilt ; the abutment should be repaired ; the
piles are much worn ; several of the stringers show con-
siderable rot ; the planking on the draw is decaying, and the
tops of the piers are very poor.

Harvard Bridge (^froni 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 of the fixed spans was repaired in 1901-02
and a wooden block paving laid. The roadway of these
spans is now in good condition, but that of the draw span is
in very poor condition. The lower planking and stringers
have not been renewed since the draw was built in 1891,
aud they are now very rotten. Unless a new deck is put on
at once it will be necessary to have it carefully watched and
repairs made as soon as signs of breaking through appear.
The asphalt sidewalks, which have been reported for a
number of years to be in very poor condition, have grown
much worse, and should be no longer tolerated on a bridge
having so much foot travel.

As reported last year, the fences should be cleaned and
painted, as they are very rusty.

Harvard-street Bridge (^over Midland Division, New York,
JVeiv Haven tf Hartford B.R., Dorchester^.

The sidewalks are supported by the city, the roadway by
the railroad ; the woodwork of the roadway has been rebuilt.

Plans Ijave been prepared for new abutments and a longer
and wider bridge, and negotiations with the railroad are in
progress for rebuilding this bridge.

Huntington-avenue Bridge (^over Boston tf- 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

24 City Document No. 15.

quence of changes in the grade of the avenue, the floor was
entirely rebuilt and new girders added for supporting the
water-pipes. The lower planking of spruce which was put
in at that time has now become very rotten, and has broken
through in a number of places during the past year. It is
recommended that a new deck be put on at once and the
girders cleaned and painted.

and rebuilt in 1884, excepting the draw, which was built in
1875-76. The chords of the draw were rebuilt in 1896.
The worst places on the waterway have been repaired with
oak piles and hard pine lumber, and further repairs are
needed; the wharf should be redecked ; the fascias on the
sidewalks are getting poor ; the stringers and bulkhead at the
Boston end of the channel need strengthening ; the draw
should be furnished with some new rack ; the track is getting
much worn ; one pile under the sidewalk should be spliced ;
one of the main truss-rods is broken, and a new one should

structure is in good condition, but should be painted during
the year. The Boston Elevated Railway Company has laid a
double track across the fixed spans of this bridge, but have
not as yet laid the track over the draw.

Summer-street Bridge (over Neiu York., Neiv Haven ^
Hartford Railroad Freight Tracks).

This bridge was built in 1900, in connection with the
abolition of the grade crossing on Congress street, and is
maintained by the city and the railroad company, the former
maintaining the wearing surface and the latter maintaining
the rest of the structure. It has four spans, consisting of
three through trusses each, and has a granite-paved roadway
and asphalt sidewalks. It is in good condition. The street
railway tracks have been laid across this bridge.

Warren Bridge (from Boston to Charlestown) .

This is a wooden pile bridge, with a double retractile iron
draw. The present structure was built in 1883-84. The
Boston end of the bridge has been paved nearly to the draw,
and general repairs have been made. Some of the piles
under the wharf are broken ; the fender-guards are in poor

condition ; the paving on the Charlestowii end of the bridge,
planking on the watenva}'^ and in the draw pit, tlie piling at
two corners of the waterway and the tail track timber need
repairing; the landing shoes should be reset; the sidewalk
near the railroad tracks, city side, should be extended about
20 feet ; the curb at the di-aw should be realigned.

West Boston Temporary Bridge (^from Boston to Cambridge').

This bridge was built in 1898-99 to accommodate the
travel using West Boston bridge till the Cambridge bridge
should be built; it is in care of the Commissioners for the
Boston and Cambridge Bridges ; the city pays one-half the
cost of maintenance ; the lower planking is considerably
decayed and has been renewed in many places ; the bolting
around the draws needs overhauling.

West Fourth-street Bridge (over Old Colony Division^ Neiv
York, New Raven i- Hartford R.R.).

In 1893-94 the grade crossing of the Old Colony Railroad
on this street was abolished, and an iron bridge built, extend-
ing from the end of Dover-street bridge, at the South Boston
side of Fort Point channel, to the easterly line of Foundry
street. The surface is maintained by the city, the rest of
the structure by the railroad company. The deck planking
is in very poor condition, and should be renewed ; the plat-
form over the middle girders should be replanked, and the
bridge should be painted.

West Rutland-square Foot-bridge (over Providence Division,
New York, New Haven ^ Hartford R.R.).

This is an iron foot-bridge, built in 1882. It is now in
good condition. •

Western-avenue Bridge (from Brighton to Cambridge').

The present bridge was built in 1879-80, and the draw in
1891. It is in the care of the Commissioners for the Boston
and Cambridge Bridges, and the city pays one-half the cost
of maintenance. Many roadway planks on the Boston side
have been renewed and minor repairs made ; the piers and
waterway need repairing; the deck planking on the Boston
side and on the draw should be renewed; the fences on the
Boston side should be put in good condition ; some of the

32 City Document No. 15.

piles and stringers on the Boston side of the channel are in
poor condition, and need renewal; the staging under the
bridge should be repaired, and the draw needs adjusting.

Western-avenue Bridge (^Brighton to Watertoivri).

The city maintains the part within its limits. This is a
wooden pile bridge, with an iron draw, and was rebuilt in
1892-93. Only minor repairs have been made ; the Boston
end of the draw should be raised ; the draw and its bearings
should also be adjusted ; the planking and capsills on the
piers and along the waterways should be repaired ; some of
the spurshores are broken and should be refitted; the deck
planking on draw and main bridge needs renewal, and the
bridge needs painting.

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
repaired in 1870. The abutment at the Winthrop end needs
pinning up, as there has been some settlement ; a few of the
outside bolsters are not in good condition ; otherwise the
bridge is in fair condition.

Wood Island Bark Boot-bridge.

This is a steel' foot-bridge, built in 1898-99, and connects
Prescott street. East Boston, with Wood Island Park, span-
ning the tracks of the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn R.R.
The walls need pointing and the bridge should be painted.

Bridges ivh'ollg Supported by Railroad Corporations.

The highway bridges maintained by the several railroad
companies are in good or fair condition, with the exceptions
noted. Ndrfolk-street bridge, near Dorchester station, is in
poor condition; plans have been made for rebuilding a longer
and wider bridge at this place ; a new deck is needed on
Second-street bridge, and repairs are needed on Washington-
street bridge over the Midland Division, New York, New
Haven & Hartford R.R.

[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE
WATER DEPARTMENT.]

During the year 15 miles of main pipe have been laid and
10.2 miles abandoned, making a total length in the system of
732 miles.

Some of the most important work done is the following :

The 30-inch main in Tremont street was relaid for a dis-
tance of 1,084 feet between Northampton and Rutland streets.
This is one of two large parallel pipes laid from the Brookline
reservoir to Boston Common in 1848, which supplied the
city until 1859, when a third main was laid. These two
mains are in good condition throughout their length, with the
exception of the portions in Tremont street, from Hammond
to Dover streets, where the pipes were originally laid in
marsh mud, and were afterwards raised to conform to the
present grade of Tremont street. The condition of the
original soil and the character of the filling have caused a
demoralization of the iron in the pipes sufficient to seriously
impair their strength. It is proposed to continue the relaying
of these mains where they are in bad ground as fast as prac-
ticable.

The work of relaying and raising out of the marsh mud
the 40-inch low service main in Brookline avenue, from
Belle vue to Jersey streets, was completed by relaying 594
feet of pipe.

The 30-inch high service main in Washington street,
Dorchester, was extended 928 feet, from Burt street towards
Codman street.

Owing to the lowering of the tracks of the N. Y., N. H. &
H. R.R. under West Fourth-street bridge, it was necessary
to relay 317 feet of 20-inch and 490 feet of 12-inch pipe,
from Fort Point channel to Foundry street ; this work was
somewhat difficult, as the location crossed nineteen railway
tracks on which trains were continually moving. At the same
time connection was made with the 20-inch pipe laid in
1894 in West Fourth street, from Foundry street to Dor-
chester avenue.

QS City Document No. 15.

The consumption of water on the island service in the
harbor lias increased rapidly during the past few years,
largely owing to the establishment, by the United States
government, of a permanent garrison at Fort Strong on Long
Island, of a fort on Lovell's Island and of a larger garrison at
Fort Warren. To provide an adequate supply at these points
and at the cit}" institutions, it was necessary to lay 3,338 feet
of 12-inch pipe on Long Island from the west end of the
island to a point near Fort Strong.

The present winter has been one of unusual severity. Not
since 1874 has so much trouble been experienced from frozen
mains, hydrants and services. Careful measurements have
been made of the depths to which the frost has penetrated,
of which the following table is a summary :

The improvement of the fire service has been prosecuted
vigorously during the year, the following work having been
done in this line :

3,283 feet 16-incb pipe laid, replacing 12 inch and 6 inch.
18,306 " 12 " " " " 8 inch, G inch and 4 inch.

12,656 " 10 " " " " 6 inch and 4 inch.

7,435 " 8 " " " " 6 inch and 4 mch.

The experiment of thawing frozen services by electricity
was tried with entire success ; the pipes thawed were of lead,
the time required to do the work varying from three to seven
minutes. Both the Edison alternating current of 2,250 volts
and the Edison direct current of 220 volts were used; in the
case of the alternating current a transformer and a water
rheostat were used in the primary circuit, reducing the
voltage in the secondary circuit to about 50, with about 250
to 300 amperes. One of the secondary wues was connected
to the service pipe inside the house, the other to a hydrant
in the street. When the direct current was used a connection
was made with one of the outside wires of the Edison three-
wire system in a junction-box in the street, and the current,
after passing through a water rheostat for reduction, was
carried by a wire directly to the service pipe in the house,
whence it passed through the service to the main.

Electrical investigation has been continued, and it has been
found that at points the water pipes are being rapidly
destroyed by electrolysis, notably in the vicinity of power
stations ; the condition of the pipes in some places where
they have been exposed for examination is such that unless
remedial measures are taken at once serious trouble is certain.

[FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT TO THE
STREET DEPARTMENT.]

Bulkhead at City Wharf, Charlestown.

To support the filling for the extension of the paving
yard on Medford street, Charlestown, a timber bulkhead
about one hundred and fifty feet long has been built across
the end of the south channel of Mystic river, and a wharf
ten feet wide has been built in front of the bulkhead. This
was done under a contract with George Hayes & Co., dated
June 1, 1903, at a total cost of 13,090.

Columbia Road.

Plans and specifications were prepared for building iron
fences on the walls on Columbia road and Mt. Vernon street
adjoining the bridge over Shoreham street.

Columbia Road Bridge over N.Y., N.H. & H. R.R.

Asphalt sidewalks have been built on this bridge during
the year under a contract with the Warren Brothers Co.,
at a cost of $600.

Cumberland-street Retaining Wall.

A concrete retaining wall across the end of Cumberland
street, adjoining the Providence Division of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, has been built under a
contract with the Metropolitan Contracting Company, dated
June 4, 1903, at a total cost of $1,150.

East Boston Ferries.

North Ferry ^ East Boston Side. — A contract was made
March 13 with Lawler Brothers for rebuilding the middle pier
in accordance with plans and specifications made by this
department the previous year. Work was begun April 20

74 City Document No. 15.

and completed June 26. The old pier was in very poor con-
dition, except the outer thirty feet and a small part of the
inshore end, and these were not rebuilt under the contract ;
the north pier was repaired by the driving of four additional
jjiles ; the cost of the contract work was $4,250. The heads
of the middle and south piers, becoming badly worn and
broken, were also rebuilt by Lawler Brothers.

South Ferry, Boston Side. — A report was made in March
on the condition of the middle pier, recommending the
renewal of a few piles and some other repairs. The work
was done under the supervision of the Ferry Division.

Franklin-street Subway Approaches, Allston.

A contract has been made with William Crane, dated Octo-
ber 28, 1903, for building two inclined approaches to the
Franklin-street subway, one from Lincoln street and one from
Cambridge street. The work is now well under way, and
will be completed about June 1, 1904.

Gainsborough-street Foot-bridge.

Concrete foundations for a foot-bridge, with stairways on
both sides of the location of the Providence Division of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad at Camden and
Gainsborough streets, have been built under a contract with
the Metropolitan Contracting Company, dated April 11,1903,
at a cost of -^1,979. Plans for the steel superstructure were
also prepared and proposals for doing the work were received
in September, 1903, but on account of the prevailing high
price of structural steel at that time they were all rejected.
Early in the coming season proposals will again be asked
for, and the bridge will undoubtedly be erected during the
summer.

Paving Wharf No. 2, 600 Albany Street.

The old wharf at this place consisted of a platform built
on piles and cross-caps, on top of which was about four feet
of earth ; it had broken down in several places, and had been
repaired numerous times, and was in poor condition. Plans
and specifications were made for building a solid wharf, a
stone wall to be built on three sides to retain the filling.
The wall rests on a spruce pile foundation, the piles being
capped, a close row of 6-inch spruce sheeting is driven in
front of the piles and bolted to them, gravel filling is de-

Engineering Department. 75

posited inside the sheeting around the piles, and the founda-
tion is planked with 4-inch spruce ; on top of this a dry
granite wall is built, capped with a granite coping laid in
cement; a relieving platform is built, the wall ballasted and
the wharf filled solid ; oak fender piles, spaced six feet apart,
are to be driven along the faces of wall, and capped and
fastened to the coping.

A contract was made with John P. Cavanagh, March 16,
for doing the work, the contract price being $24,700. The
work is about 60 per cent, completed.

MISCELLANEOUS WORK AND CONSTRUCTION
IN 1903.

Atlantic-avenue Extension Bridge.

The work of building Piers 4a, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, under the
contract with W. H. Ellis, dated October 20, 1902, has
been completed, with the exception of pointing the masonry,
removal of one coffer dam and the restoration of the old
wharf on the southerly side of the channel, where it was
injured in doing the work. The amount paid to date under
this contract is <$72,173.38.

Pier 4a is a small pier for supporting a cantilever arm
which carries the end of the centre truss of the span over
the tracks of the Old Colony and Midland Divisions of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. It is dis-
tant 14 feet 3 inches, centre to centre, from Pier 4. It was
found impracticable to have the centre trusses of the two
adjacent spans rest on the same pier at this point owing to
the angle in the street and the necessity of allowing free
space for laying the curves of the street railway tracks,
on each side of the central trusses. This pier has a
foundation of concrete 30 feet 6 inches long by 10 feet
wide, from grade — 4.50 to grade 0.50, resting on 60
piles which were driven to grade — 35 and the tops left at
grade — 3. The two lower courses of the stone masonry
are of large blocks, and are each 5 feet 6 inches wide and
2 feet high, their length being 25 and 21 feet respectively.
Above this the pier is 17 feet long by 5 feet 2 inches on the
bottom, battering 1 in 24 on the sides and 1 in 4 on the
ends, and is capped by a bridge seat course 2 feet thick,
11 feet long and 5 feet wide, the top of which is at grade 20. 50.

Pier 4 will support two trusses of one span and three of
another, and has built into it an anchorage for the cantilever
arm resting on Pier 4a. It has a concrete foundation 72 feet
6 inches long and 17 feet 6 inches wide from grade — 12.50
to grade — 1.50, resting on 251 piles which were driven to
grades varying from — 40 to — 60, with their tops at grades
— 8.50 and — 10.50. The bottom course of stone is 61 feet

Engineering Department. 81

by 10 feet by 2 feet; the pier above this 58 feet 6 inches by

7 feet 6 inches on the bottom, Avith a batter of 1 in 24,
and capped by a bridge seat course 58 feet by 7 feet by 2
feet, with the top at grade 20.50. The anchorage before
referred to consists of a frame of steel embedded in the con-
crete foundation, from which four 3-inch rods extend up
through the stone masonry. Ballast was placed at one end,
and between this pier and Pier 4a and tlie sea-wall, to the
grade of the top of the concrete foundations.

Pier 5 has a concrete foundation 62 feet long and 18 feet
wide from grade — 22 to grade — 1.50, resting on 228 piles
which were driven to grades varying from — 50 to — 70,
with the tops at grades — 18 and — 20. The bottom course
of stone masonry is 54 feet by 10 feet by 2 feet; the pier
above this 52 feet by 8 feet on the bottom, batters 1 in 12,
and is capped by a bridge seat course 50 feet by 6 feet by 2
feet, with the top at grade 20.50. This pier will sujiport one
end of one fixed span and serve as a landing for the channel
end of the draw span.

Pier 6 is to support the draw. It has a concrete founda-
tion 50 feet long by 44 feet wide from grade — 22 to grade
0, resting on 479 piles driven to grade — 50, and with the
tops at grades — 18 and — 20. On this foundation was built
a pier in the form of a frustum of a cone, the bottom diameter
being 40 feet and the top diameter 36 feet ; this is also of
concrete, except that there is a ring of cut granite around
the outer edge of the top ; this ring is 6 feet wide and 2 feet
thick. The grade of the top of the pier is 16.

Pier 7 is of the same general character as the others, ex-
cept that owing to the possibility that at some future time it
may have to serve as a retaining wall for filling in the rear,
the piles on the outer lines and the sheeting of the coffer
dam were driven inclmed to the vertical, thus making the
concrete foundation at the bottom, or grade — 15, 55 feet 4
inches by 17 feet, and at the top, or grade — 1, 55 feet 4
inches by 13 feet 6 inches. The number of piles is 226, and
they were driven to grade — 40, and their tops left at grades
— 11 and — 13. The bottom of the stone masonry is 51
feet lif inches by 9 feet If inches. The stonework has a
batter of 1 in 24, and the bridge seat course is 50 feet by

8 feet by 2 feet, with the top at grade 26.69. Ballast was
placed in front of and around the ends of this pier to the
grade of the top of the concrete.

Pier 8 has a concrete foundation 52 feet by 8 feet by 4 feet
from grade 4 to grade 8, resting on 104 piles driven to grade
— 30, with their tops at grade 5. The bottom of the stone

82 City Document No. 15.

masonry is 50 feet li inches by 6 feetli inches. The batter
is 1 in 24, and the pier is capped by a bridge seat course
60 feet by 6 feet by 2 feet, with its top at grade 23.30. On
the southerly side of the bridge seat a wall 2 feet thick and
50 feet long is carried up to grade 29.90 to support the
short end span of the bridge.

All piles under the foundations of the several piers are of
spruce. The concrete is of American Portland cement, sand
and sea-washed gravel, mixed in the proportions of 1, 2 and
4. The concrete, except the upper foot in foundations and
the circular part of pier 6, was deposited under water through
a tube, the lower end of which was kept on the bottom, and
the tube was not allowed to become empty, except when it
was necessary to stop work. The remainder of the concrete
was deposited when the work was free from water.

The stone masonry is of dimensioned granite laid in Port-
land cement mortar. The ashlar masonry is laid in Flemish
bond.

In addition to the piers, new fender-guards with oak piling
have been built on both sides of the channel.

Proposals were received on July 2, 1903, for furnishing
and erecting the steel superstructure of this bridge, but as
all of the proposals were informal they were rejected.

Broadway Bkidge over Fort Point Channel.

Under the contract with Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins,
dated August 28, 1902, the three remaining piers for this
bridge have been built, with the exception of a small amount
of pointing, filling and clearing up of the grounds. There
has been paid under this contract $36,862.24.

The work consisted of building three piers, one on the
land and two in channel.

Pier 13 supports a steel trestle, and is built in three
sections. The foundations are of concrete from grade 5 to
grade 14, resting on piles driven to grade — 30, and with the
tops at grade 6. Above the concrete there are three courses
of granite masonry. The concrete for the northerly sec-
tion of the pier is 12 feet by 10 feet to grade 9, and then
batters to a length of 8 feet 6 inches and a width of 6 feet
at the top, and rests on 30 piles. For the middle section the
concrete is 20 feet by 10 feet to grade 9, and 11 feet by 6
feet at the top, and rests on 50 piles. For the southerly
section the concrete is 16 feet by 10 feet to grade 9, sloping
to 9 feet 6 inches by 6 feet at. the top, and rests on 40 piles.
The lower course of stone is 4 feet wide and 2 feet high for

Engineering Department. 83

all sections, the length being 6 feet 6 inches for the northerly
section and 7 feet for the middle and southerly sections.

The second course is 5 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet li inches,
and the capstones 3 feet 6 inches by 3 feet by 2 feet li
inches for all three sections. The grade of the top is 20.25.
The foundation of Pier 14 is 74 feet by 17 feet at the
bottom, or grade — 10, and is 74 feet by 16 feet 4 inches at
the top, or grade — 2. The channel face has a batter of 1
in 12, and three rows of piles on that side were driven at the
same inclination, as the pier will be required to retain the
filling behind it. The number of piles is 303, and they were
driven to grade — 40, the tops being at grades — 6.50 and
—8.50.

The concrete of Pier 16 extends from grade — 20 to grade
— 2 and rests on 357 piles, 303 driven to grade — 40 and 54
to about grade — 70. The tops of the piles are at grades
— 16.5 and — 18.5. The bottom of the concrete is 74 feet by
17 feet, except that a small corner is cut off where it comes
near the draw channel. The sides batter 1 in 12, so that the
top is 74 feet by 14 feet. The outer three rows of piles on
each side are driven on the above inclination.

The stone masonry of both Piers 14 and 16 is of the same
dimensions. The bottom is 69 feet 9 inches by 10 feet 1
inch. The ashlar has a batter of 1 in 12 to grade 29,
above which is a bridge seat 2 feet high, 67 feet 3 inches
long and 8 feet 6 inches wide. The ends of the stone
masonry are pointed, the faces being on curves of a radius
equal to the width of the pier.
The piles are all of spruce.

The concrete is of American Portland cement, sand and
sea-washed gravel, mixed in the proportions of 1, 2 and 4.
All except the upper foot in depth was deposited under
water through a tube which was kept resting on the bottom
and not allowed to become empty except when it was
necessary to stop work. The upper foot in depth of concrete
was deposited after the coffer dams were pumped out.
Ballast was deposited around Pier 14.
The stone masonry was of granite, and all except the
bridge seat laid in Flemish bond. It was all laid in Portland
cement mortar.

A low granite parapet was added to Pier 2, which is on the
west line of Foundry street, and granite bearing blocks were
placed on Piers 12 and 14.

The work of erecting the steel superstructure by the Boston
Bridge Works, under its contract dated October 29, 1902, is
nearly completed.

There has been paid under this contract 123,150.05.

84 City Document No. 15.

On July 14 a contract was made with the C. W. Leather-
bee Lumber Company for furnishing the lumber required for
the bridge. The lumber has been delivered, but final pay-
ment under the contract has not yet been made.

On October 7 a contract was made with Patrick McGovern
for flooring the bridge. This work is now in progress.

On October 21 the proposal of the Rockport Granite
Company for furnishing the paving blocks required was
accepted, and a portion of the blocks have been delivered.

pleted at a cost of -^1,064.

In order that the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company might utilize the yard under the South
Boston end of the bridge, that portion of the temporary foot-
bridge which was east of the main tracks of the railroad was
removed in December and a temporary plank walk was laid
on the new bridge.

An estimate was made of the expenditure required by the
city in the near future if this proposed improvement is car-
ried out.

Columbia Road.

Plans and specifications were prepared for building iron
fences on the walls on Columbia road and Mt. Vernon street,
adjoining the bridge over Shoreham street.

Congress-street Bridge — Widening of Draw- way.

The Secretary of War having ordered the draw-way of
Congress-street bridge to be widened from 43f feet to 50
feet, it was deemed necessary to build a temporary bridge to
accommodate the travel while Congress-street bridge would
be closed for the work of widening ; this bridge was located
between Congress-street and Summer-street bridges, near the
South Boston side of the waterway. A contract was made
January 5, 1904, with W. H. Ellis & Co., to build the bridge,
and work was commenced January 11, and is nearly com-
pleted; it is 341 feet long and 50 feet wide, having one
8-foot sidewalk.

the grade crossing of the New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford Railroad at Freeport street, and in connection with this
problem that of abolishing several other grade crossings on
the Old Colony Division of this railroad has been studied.

Gallop's Island Wharf and Coal Shed.

Plans and specifications were made at the request of the
Health Department for repairing the wharf and coal shed at
Gallop's Island. A contract was made July 15, with Lawler
Bros., for doing the work, and it was practically completed
October 24, at a cost of 88,173.38; eighty-seven oak piles
were driven, the piling was braced, 20,000 feet of hard pine
caps and stringers were renewed, a drop was built in the

The work to be done by the city under the decree of the
Superior Court abolishing the grade crossing on Oakland
street was completed early in June, 1903, and the street for
its full width opened to travel. The private ways leading
into Oakland street affected by the abolition of the grade
crossing on that street have also been surfaced at the new
grade.

Parental School, West Roxbdry.

The work of installing a battery of two boilers for the
Children's Institutions Department, which was under con-
struction at the date of the last annual report, has been
completed.

A contract for the second boiler was made with the Hodge
Boiler Works, dated December 22, 1902, for the sum of
$1,272, and the foundations and settings for the two boilers
were put in by John W. Durham & Co., under a contract
dated October 31, 1902, for the sum of |1,938. The piping
for both boilers and the electric lighting plant was done by
Lynch & Woodward under a contract dated February 16,
1903, for 81,967. The entire work was completed in season
to be used during the past winter.

construction of all pubUc works of the city which properly come
under the direction of a civil engineer ; shall make such surveys,
plans, estimates, statements, and descriptions, and take such
levels and prepare such specifications and contracts as the mayor,
the board of aldermen, the common council, any committee of the
city council or of either branch thereof, the board of street com-
missioners, or any officer in charge of a department, may need in
the discharge of its duties ; shall, upon being notified by the
superintendent of streets, supervise all repairs on the bridges of
the city used as highways which affect the safety of the structures,
and shall, when required by the mayor or any officer in charge of

APPENDIX I.

Meridian Line.

In 1870 an act was passed by the Massachusetts Legislature requiring
each land surveyor in the State at least once in every year to adjust
and verify his compass by the meridian line established in the county
wherein his surveys were to be made.

A meridian was marked by stone monuments and a book of record
kept by a custodian designated by the County Commissioners.

The law compelling surveyors to test their compasses annually was
modified in 1875, so that surveyors who did not use the compass in turn-
ing angles were relieved from the penalty attaching to the violation of
the original act.

The meridian posts for the County of Suffolk were placed on the
southerly portion of the " Parade Ground," on Boston Common. They
are granite posts, three in number, placed 200 feet apart, are eighteen
inches square at the base, one foot square at the top, and eight feet
long, being firmly set in a bed of concrete with their tops originally
just below the surface of the ground.

A stone curb was placed even with the surface of the ground over the
top of each post, with a metallic composition cover.

The surface of that part of the Common where the posts are set was
raised several feet in 1897, the posts being protected by building a brick
manhole around each stone, the posts being accessible by the removal
of the manhole cover.

As the cover and cap of the manholes are made of iron, it is now
necessary to set up the compass in the production of the line marked
by the monument to avoid local attraction. The point selected has
been 290 feet north of the northerly stone.

The following table gives the number of tests for each year with the
average readings:
