ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1935.
Boston, January 2, 1 936.
Hon. Frederick W. Mansfield,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear Sir, — In compliance with the Revised Ordi-
nances, the annual report of the operations and expenses
of the Public Works Department for the year ending
December 31, 1935, is respectfully submitted. The
Public Works Department created by Ordinances, 1910,
chapter 9, now chapter 27 of the Revised Ordinances of
1925, was formed by consolidating the Engineering,
Water and Street Departments.
Organization.
The department is composed of six main divisions, viz. :
Bridge mid Ferry Division. — This division, under a
division engineer, has the charge and care of all bridges
used as highways which are, in whole or in part, under
the control of the city; and the care and management
of the ferries owned by the city, including boats, slips,
drops and buildings, and the maintenance and operation
of the Sumner Tunnel.
2 City Document No. 24.
Note. — The Boston and Cambridge Bridges Division,
so called, is not, strictly speaking, a division of the
Public Works Department, as this work is in charge of
a commission of two, one member appointed by the
Mayor of Boston and one by the Mayor of Cambridge
under the provisions of chapter 467 of the Acts of 1898;
but because of the fact that the present Commissioner
of Public Works is the Boston member of this commis-
sion, and also because one half of the expense of the
commission is defrayed by the Bridge Service, it is in
this report treated as a division of the department.
Highway Division. — This division, under a division
engineer, has charge of the construction, reconstruction
and maintenance of roadways and sidewalks, and the
care of lamps and lighting of streets, parks and alleys.
Sanitary Division. — This division, under a division
engineer, has charge of the collection and removal of
ashes, garbage and refuse, street cleaning, and the oiling
and flushing of streets.
Sewer Division. — This division, under a division
engineer, has charge of the construction and maintenance
of sewers, catch-basins and w^aterways.
Water Division. — This division, under a division
engineer, has the care of all water pipes in the water
system, the laying and relaying of water mains and the
care of the high pressure fire system.
Water Income Division. — This division, under a
division engineer, has charge of financial operations in
connection with the sale of water, reading of water
meter registrations, making out quarterly water bills
for all consumers, forwarding said bills to City Col-
lector's office, installation and maintenance of water
meters and enforcement of payment of water bills.
Bridge and Ferry Division.
On account of the condition of the structure and
pending the award of the contract for repairing and
strengthening the bridge, as authorized by chapter 342
Public Works Department.
of the Acts of 1934, the Chelsea North Bridge was
closed to travel on January 13. The contract for the
repair work was awarded on January 22. Work was
started immediately and the bridge was opened to
travel on December 23. There is still some work to
be done on this bridge.
Authority was obtained from the Department of
Public Utilities for a temporary reduction in the toll
rates of the Sumner Traffic Tunnel. The reduced rates,
which became effective on January 14, are as follows:
A. Passenger car $0.15
B. Tractor without trailer .15
C. Trailer not in excess of 2-ton capacity . . .15
D. Trailer over 2 tons up to 5-ton capacity . . .25

sold at public auction, and in order that the name may
be perpetuated the ^'General Sumner" was renamed
"Ralph J. Palumbo" on May 21.
4 City Document No. 24.
This division carried out its usual program during
the year of repairing and maintaining the bridges, ferry-
boats, etc., under its control.
Highway Division.
Work was completed this year on the Street Con-
struction Program started in 1934 under the grant
agreement with the United States Government.
Reports have been made by the Committee on Snow
Removal appointed by your Honor. This committee,
composed of representatives of civic organizations,
transportation companies and city department heads,
has recommended the purchase of trucks, tractors,
plows, etc., which will bring up to date the equipment
used for snow removal. It has also recommended
changes in methods of snow removal, one of which is a
reduction in the number of districts in which snow is
removed by contract. The purchase of the equipment
recommended by the committee is now under considera-
tion under a loan of $675,000 which has been authorized.
Gas street lighting was carried on during the year
under temporary contracts and a study is being made
with a view to advertising for bids for a long term
contract.
Sanitary Division.
The customary garbage, ashes and refuse collection
work and street cleaning activities were carried on by
this division during the year. Annual contracts were
awarded for garbage, ashes and refuse collection in East
Boston, Brighton, Dorchester, West Roxbury and Hyde
Park, the service in the remainder of the city being
furnished by the city forces.
Sewer Division.
A loan of $250,000 was made available during the
year for sewerage works. Contracts were awarded for
Public Works Department. 5
sewer construction charged to the regular appropriation
as well as for work done under the P. W. A. grant
agreement. Work is still in progress under some of
these contracts.
Water Division.
Due to the decrease in building construction there
has been a corresponding drop in the number of applica-
tions for water mains.
A considerable amount of work was done throughout
the city in replacing with larger sizes mains which had
been in service for years and which, because of their
age and condition, were not suitable for fire protection
or domestic supply purposes.
The projects upon which grants were obtained from
the United States Government under the P. W. A.
were carried on during the year.
Statements showing appropriations, expenditures and
revenue received during the year, together with tabula-
tions indicating the grade and number of employees,
changes in personnel, etc., in the Public Works Depart-
ment are attached.
Reports from the division engineers in charge of the
various divisions are respectfully submitted.
Respectfully yours,
C. J. Carven,
Commissioner of Public Works.

APPENDIX A.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF THE
BRIDGE AND FERRY DIVISION.
Boston, January 2, 1936.
Mr. C. J. Carven,
Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit the following report
of the income, expenditures and operation of the Bridge
and Ferry Division for the year ending December 31,
1935. The expenditures of the division in the regular
maintenance appropriations of the department were
$998,289.44. Under a number of special appropriations
$519,884.98 was expended, making the total expendi-
tures for the year $1,518,174.42. This does not include
certain expenditures for construction work for other
departments, which work was supervised by the engineers
of this division.
Under an order of the Department of Public Utilities,
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a new schedule of
tolls and charges for the use of the Sumner Traffic
Tunnel, between Boston Proper and East Boston, was
approved for a temporary period beginning January 13,
1935, at midnight.
The work of repairing and strengthening Northern
Avenue Bridge, under a contract with M. F. Gaddis,
was completed and the bridge was opened to travel at
9.23 a. m. on November 27, 1935. A detailed statement
of this work appears further on in this report.
The ferryboat "Ralph J. Palumbo" was sold at
public auction April 15, 1935, for $43,700.
Under authority granted by the Director of Naviga-
tion and Steamboat Inspection Service, the name of
the ferryboat "General Sumner" was changed to that
of "Ralph J. Palumbo," on May 21, 1935.
Under the provisions of House Bill No. 1625, providing
for the repair and strengthening of Chelsea Bridge
Public Works Department. 21
North, over the Mystic river, by the City of Boston,
this bridge was closed to traffic at midnight, January 13,
1935. A contract was awarded to Coleman Brothers,
Inc., for repairing and strengthening this bridge and
work was started January 22, 1935. The bridge was
opened to travel December 23, 1935. A detailed state-
ment of this work appears further on in this report.
The more important works undertaken during the
past year in the Bridge Service were the repairing and
strengthening of Chelsea Bridge North and the building
and maintenance of a temporary footway at this loca-
tion; repairs to steel work at Huntington Avenue Bridge
and repairs to Summer Street Bridge, over Reserved
Channel.
Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
The following Federal Emergency Relief Projects
were supervised by this division:
Dover Street Bridge chipped and painted; steel
and rollers of turntable cleaned and red leaded and
draw fender piers repaired. Repairs to fender piers of
Dorchester Avenue Bridge. Warren and Charlestown
Bridges, repairs to fender piers. Retaining wall at
Charlestown Bridge repaired. Longfellow Bridge, re-
pairs to parapet walls. Glenwood Avenue Bridge (over
Mother Brook) cleaned and painted. Summer Street
Bridge (over Fort Point Channel), approach spans
chipped, cleaned and painted. Six Ferry towers
chipped, cleaned and painted. Field Surveys for Record
Plans: — Two field parties worked, one at Meridian
Street Bridge and the other at Warren and Charlestown
Bridges. Work included soundings, profile and cross
section plans for proposed new bridge at West River
street (over Mother Brook), Hyde Park, and at Wal-
worth street, over New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, new- bridge at Bennington street, over Boston,
Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad, and Broadway
Bridge, over Boston and Albany Railroad. Bridge
Inspection and File Card System : — Plans of twenty-
three bridges in the city have been converted to the
bridge cards. About the same number of bridge inspec-
tion reports have been made and filed in the book
holders. About 210 men were employed on the different
projects. All our E. R. A. Projects were finished during
the year.

Bridge Service.
Charlestoum Bridge. — A contract with John F. Shea
Company, Inc., for repairing and painting spans 1 and 2
of this bridge was completed August 9, 1935, at a cost
of $23,505.58.
Granite Avenue Bridge, Over Neponset River. — A con-
tract with the Codman Hill Construction Company,
for strengthening and redecking this bridge, was com-
pleted February 19, 1935, at a cost of $14,484.59, of
which the County of Suffolk paid one-half the cost and
the Town of Milton one-half the cost.
Chelsea Bridge North.
On January 21, 1935, a contract with Coleman
Brothers Corporation was approved by the Mayor for
rebuilding the fixed spans and making certain repairs
to the draw machinery.
For several years it was known that the fixed spans
were in a critical condition, but due to lack of appro-
priation the project for rebuilding was postponed from
year to year. While the present steel draw span was
built in 1912, it might be said in passing that none of
the supporting piles of the fixed spans were driven
later than 1880 and all these had been spliced for a
subsequent raising of the street grade. To supplant
this old structure with its wooden pile bents, this
division designed a permanent type of structure con-
sisting of a concrete deck system on steel girder spans,
which were supported on masonry piers. To expedite
the movement of vehicular traffic the draw was to be
raised about 14 feet in order that many tow boats
could pass the bridge without requiring an opening of
the draw.
In making the appropriation for the inevitable re-
building, the sum available was so much less than the
estimated cost of the proposed project that it was
necessary to change the design to one of a more tempo-
rary nature and follow essentially the type structure as
originally built, namely, a wooden trestle bent system.
Due to various unavoidable delays the work under
this contract has not yet been completed.
Northern Avenue Bridge.
On January 26, 1934, the utter failure of one top
chord suspension link of one of the draw trusses and the
Public Works Department. 23
partial failure of an adjacent link, put the bridge perma-
nently out of commission until repairs of a major
caliber were completed.
Since the necessary expenditures to again put the
draw in operation would be so great, it was deemed
advisable to obtain expert opinion from unbiased
sources. While one consultant was retained in the
summer of 1933 to deal with the draw structure and
fixed spans, no report was received until after the
failure noted above. A second consultant was called
in and finally after a complete investigation and careful
consideration of the structure as a whole, it was decided
to entirely dismantle the draw, rebuild the concrete
draw pit from about grade 0 up; rebuild the draw span,
using only the old floor beams, truss posts and some
minor members, repair the fixed spans and redeck the
entire structure.
Upon decision on the method of procedure, plans and
specifications for doing the work were prepared and
on September 27, 1934, a contract with M. F. Gaddis
was approved by the Mayor and the P. W. A. The
project became known as the P. W. A. Docket No. 9177.
Work started at once but due to severe winter weather
progress was arrested for a considerable period and the
contract was not completed until November 27, 1935,
at a contract price of $266,983.
Huntington Avenue Bridge, over Boston and Albany
Railroad.
Due to excessive corrosion and erosion of all exposed
structural steel, caused by the flue gases of passing
locomotives, it was decided at this time to attempt
reducing the future cost of cleaning and painting by
applying a metal coating to all exposed steel; the
coating to be capable of resisting action of acids con-
tained in flue gases.
To this end a contract with the Metallicoat Corpo-
ration of New England was approved by the Mayor
on October 18, 1935, for cleaning and coating all exposed
bridge structurals.
Work under this contract was not completed on
December 31, 1935.
Summer Street Bridge, over Reserved Channel.
Due to normal aging and rotting of the piling and
timber work supporting the retractile rails of this
bridge, considerable renewals and repairs were necessary.
24 City Document No. 24.
On October 18, 1935, a contract with John F. Shea
Company, Inc., was approved by the Mayor to make

Miscellaneous.
Aside from the purely divisional activities there was
an appreciable amount of time and effort spent in other
departmental work and work outside of the department
itself. It should be noted in every case that work was
deemed by the Commissioner to be of an emergency
nature that required immediate attention of the person-
nel of this division. Some of these items follow :
Albany Street Disposal Station.
For repairs to the Albany Street Disposal Station, a
contract was approved by the Mayor on October 29,
1935, with Joseph M. Fish, to make certain renewals
and repairs to the so-called high platform. Work under
this contract was not completed at the end of the year.
Deer Island.
On September 13, 1935, a contract was approved by
the Mayor, with A. Orlando, Inc., to make general
repairs to the wharves at Deer Island, for the Penal
Institutions Department. This work was made neces-
sary on account of normal wearing and weathering of
the structures. Work under this contract was com-
pleted on November 9, 1935, at a cost of $6,012.10.
Ferry Service.
The following ferryboats are in commission:

following :
Ferryboat ^'Charles C. Donoghue."
Incidental to the annual inspection of the vessel, as
required by the United States Steam Boat Inspection
26 City Document No. 24.
Service, a contract with the Marine Company was
approved by the Mayor on June 18, 1935, for a general
overhaul. All work done was of a routine nature, made
necessary on account of normal running of the ship.
Work under this contract was completed on Julv 23,
1935, at a cost of $9,531.23.
Ferryboat "Lieutenant Flaherty."
On January 9, 1935, a contract with the Quincy Dry
Dock and Yacht Corporation was approved by the
Mayor to complete certain repairs to the hull, super-
structure and machinery of the ''Lieutenant Flaherty,"
all incidental to the required annual inspection by the
United States Steam Boat Inspection Service.
At this time it was evident that considerable repairs
to the vessel were necessary, due to unavoidable cor-
rosion of hull members, etc. Included in the repairs
was a lining up of one of the crank shafts of a main
engine and the rebuilding of a section of main guard
about 72 feet in length.
Work under this contract was completed on April 18,
1935, at a cost of $13,874.20.
Owing to United States Steam Boat Inspection Serv-
ice requirements, the necessity of which became
apparent as work under the above contract proceeded,
it was deemed advisable to advertise a second contract
for further hull repairs.
On April 29, 1935, a contract with the Marine Com-
pany was approved by the Mayor, to rebuild the remain-
ing sections of guards of the ship and some minor
repairs to sponson braces and structural plates, etc.
Work under this contract was completed June 8, 1935,
at a cost of $7,955.78.
Ferryboat "Daniel A. MacCormack."
On December 2, 1935, a contract with the Marine
Company was approved by the Mayor for a general
overhaul of the vessel, including machinery and equip-
ment, all in preparation for the annual inspection, as
required by the United States Steam Boat Inspection
Service.
Work under this contract was started but not com-
pleted by the last of the year.
Ferryboat "General Sumner ^
On August 21, 1935, a contract with the Quincy Dry
Dock and Yacht Corporation was approved by the
Public Works Department. 27
Mayor, for making repairs to the vessel to prepare for
the annual inspection as required by the United States
Steamboat Inspection Service.
At this time the name of the vessel was officially
changed from "General Sumner" to "Ralph J.
Palumbo"; the change of name was occasioned by the
selling of the original "Ralph J. Palumbo," built in
1921, and the naming of the Sumner Traffic Tunnel.
The work under this contract was completed September
24, 1935, at a cost of $6,781.90.
Sprinkler Systejns for Ferryboats.
Complying with a recent requirement of the United
States Steamboat Inspection Service, that all ferryboats
shall be equipped with sprinkler systems, serving all
covered roadways, plans and specifications were pre-
pared in this office and approved by the United States
Steamboat Inspection Service.
On November 1, 1935, a contract with the Grinnel
Company was approved by the Mayor to cover the
above work. The requirements of the contract were
not completed by the last of the year.
Toll Registers.
In order to simplify taking and checking the tolls
received from vehicles at the South Ferry, a contract
with the Ohmer Register Company was approved by the
Mayor on June 15, 1935, for the furnishing and installing
of four registers; one at each of the four entrances to the
ferry slips.
These registers not only record the tolls received but
tabulate them as well. Further, when the toll is regis-
tered, the sum paid is indicated to the payer.
Work under this contract was completed in August at
a cost of $2,603.
Department Force.
During the year machinists, carpenters, painters,
riggers and electricians, who make up the personnel of
the Ferry Service, made all repairs possible to the plant
to the extent of equipment at their disposal. This work
was made up mainly of minor repairs to the machinery
on the boats, repairs to ferry bridge machinery, ferry
bridge roadways and headhouse repairs in general.

Summary of Work During 1935.
A new 6-inch discharge pipe Une was installed under
roadway in fresh air duct between the harbor pump
room and East Boston ventilation shaft to replace the
old abandoned 8-inch discharge line.
During the time that the discharge pipe line was out
of service, 1,017,000 gallons of water were pumped
from the sumps under the roadway into tank trucks
and dumped into the sewer on the plazas.
Floats, Selsjm indicators and high water alarm
switches were installed in harbor pump room. Water
level in the sumps is recorded in the control room, also
indication lights and bell alarm for high water level and
pump in operation.
Two traffic signal units that were knocked down by
trucks were repaired and replaced.
Signs were installed in the tunnel reading, "no pass-
ing," "keep in line," ''don't blow horn," "lights
off" and '.'lights on."
Electric heaters were installed in fire extinguisher
niches in the tunnel.
A check valve was installed in the sump under the
roadway to equalize the water level between the seepage
and drainage sumps.
A water tank was installed in the harbor pump room
to provide priming and sealing water for the pumps
during the winter months.
Two bulkhead doors were installed in the harbor
pump room.

ing chambers in the tunnel were opened and about three
feet of ice and water cleaned out of many of the chambers.
All telephone junction boxes were opened, water drained
out, terminals replaced, painted with insulating varnish,
and junction box covers sealed. Water leaking into
the junction boxes had caused failure on telephone
system.

Twelve lengths (2,250 feet) of 19-conductor, size No. 19
special cable were installed between the toll registers
and the toll booths in East Boston to replace defective
cables that were damaged by excessive heat from the
boiler.
In collaboration with engineers of the Simplex Wire
& Cable Company, a complete survey was made of the
cables in the tunnel. All cable sheaths were inspected
for indications of corrosion, galvanic action, chemical
action, and electrolysis. Readings were taken of poten-
tials between various cable sheaths, and from cable
sheaths to ground and other structures. Chemical
tests were made on leakage water and sludge accu-
mulation.
The purpose of this cable survey was to determine
the causes of the cable failures, and to enable recom-
mendations to be made for reducing or eliminating the
causes of the trouble.
From this cable survey and a careful study of the
results obtained, and also from the inspection of the
cables that have been removed, the cable failures can
be attributed to electrolysis due to leakage currents,
combined with some galvanic action and chemical
action. The cables have been affected seriously due
to the fact that the cables are not properly bonded and
grounded. The telephone cable through the tunnel
has already been destroyed by these actions and it
must be replaced. Other cables are beginning to be
affected.
In order to reduce the chemical and galvanic action
and to eliminate the electrolysis action due to leakage
currents, it is recommended that a ground network of
sufficient size be properly installed and all cables be
bonded and grounded.
Approximately 20,000 feet of temporary telephone
lines were installed above the tunnel ceiling in the
exhaust air duct, and connected to the telephones in the
tunnel, East Boston ventilation building and East
Public Works Department. 33
Boston plaza. These temporary lines were necessary
while the new telephone cable was being installed. All
telephones were kept in service during the entire period
of replacing the telephone cable.
Five 415-foot lengths (2,075 feet) of 16-pair and six
lengths (approximately 250 feet total) of 5-pair of
Anhydrex rubber-jacketed telephone cable were pulled
in to replace the old defective lead-covered telephone
cable. The remainder of the defective lead telephone
cable will be replaced by Anhydrex rubber-jacketed
cables in 1936.
Telephone junction boxes have been altered for the
new rubber-jacketed type of telephone cable. New
compound-filled type of cable terminals have been
installed on the junction boxes; type of connection
strips have been changed; and mounting screws have
been changed from iron to brass screws. For the
purpose of maintaining continuous service for all
telephones, two extra spare pairs have been taken to
every telephone station.
An earthquake was reported at 1.07 a. m. November 1,
1935. Air ducts and the tunnel structure were carefully
inspected, but no apparent damage could be found.
Byrd's expedition airplane passed through the tunnel
at 3.23 a. m. on June 1, 1935.
In August several general changes were made in the
operation of the ventilation equipment. The point of
the alarm on the carbon monoxide recorders in the
control room was changed from 3.0 to 2.5 parts of
carbon monoxide per 10,000 parts of air. The method
of ventilation was changed to a balanced set-up, i. e.,
an equal number of blowers and exhausters in each
building. This arrangement of fan set-up gives trans-
verse air currents in the tunnel and reduces the longi-
tudinal air currents which would cause smoke and gases
to pass from one section of the tunnel to the next
section. A schedule of heavy traffic periods was made
up, and the operator on duty during these periods has
been instructed to watch the carbon monoxide recorders
and to keep the dilution of the tunnel air below 1.5
parts of carbon monoxide per 10,000 parts of air. These
changes in the operation of the ventilation equipment
have produced much better air conditions in the tunnel.
During the year there were reported 456 emergency
tow jobs in the tunnel.
During the year there were 23 traffic accidents in the
34 City Document No. 24.
tunnel. Of this number only five accidents were serious
in which persons were injured.
During the year there were reported only six fires in
the tunnel. Most of these fires were minor with little
damage. In only one case was a fire alarm pulled to
call in the equipment of the Boston Fire Department.
In the case of a fire, wreck, or other serious trouble
in the tunnel, the guards on duty push an emergency
button which sets "red" traffic lights at the toll booths
on each end of the tunnel in order to stop all traffic from
entering the tunnel. During the year, the booth-red
was put on 38 times. The average time duration of the
BOOTH-RED was 8.7 miuutes. Many of these booth-red
signals were either unnecessary or were for minor
troubles. The maximum length of time that the
BOOTH-RED was OR and all traffic was prevented from
entering the tunnel was 50 minutes on August 8 for a
truck fire.
Toll Indicators.
As originally designed and transferred to this depart-
ment for operation, the system of recording tolls received
in the plazas included the display of an arbitrary illumi-
nated number displayed over the roadway used by the
vehicles going through, so located that it was visible
only to observers some distance from the toll collector's
station.
While this system may have at some time appeared
sufficient, it was felt by this department that in order
for the system to be more satisfactory to all, including
the payer of the toll, some visible receipt of the tariff
received should be displayed at some location readily
seen by the payer. This work required the installing of
standards with the necessary electrical equipment,
lights, signs, etc., near the tollmen's stations of each
roadway.
To furnish and install the necessary equipment, a
contract with the Graybar Electric Company, Inc.,
was approved by the Mayor on December 27, 1935.
Work under this contract was not completed during
the current year.
Changing Inscriptions on Entrance.
In view of the fact that the inscriptions over the
entrance to the tunnel were designed and executed some
time before the actual completion of the work and the
Public Works Department. 35
opening of the tunnel for traffic, it was natural that some
of the data covered by the inscriptions was not quite
accurate.
To make the necessary corrections a contract with the
Gorham Company of Providence, R. I., was approved
by the Mayor on July 30, 1935. This work was com-
pleted in October at a cost of $2,000.

APPENDIX B.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF THE
HIGHWAY DIVISION.
Boston, January 2, 1936.
Mr. Christopher J. Carven,
Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir, — I submit the following report of the
operations and expenditures of the Street Lighting
and Paving Services of the Highway Division for the
year ending December 31, 1935.
The maintenance expenditures of the division for
the year are as follows:
Lighting Service $995,032 49
Paving Service 1,364,912 84
Total $2,359,945 33
Paving Service.
All of the remainder of the streets listed under the
loan and grant of the Federal Public Works Adminis-
tration for the reconstruction of streets were completed
during the year, namely, Walk Hill street, from Hyde
Park avenue to Harvard Street; Hyde Park avenue,
from Walk Hill street to Metropolitan avenue; Savin
Hill avenue, from Railroad Bridge to Evandale terrace
and from railroad bridge to 120 feet south of Denny
street. For the reconstruction of the above-named
streets S491, 988.40 was expended.
From the ''Highways, Making of Loans" there was
expended the sum of 8134,044.79. The work done
under this appropriation consisted of the construction
of five streets built by contract.
From the appropriation for ''Reconstruction of
Streets" there was expended the sum of $99,502.37.
Two contracts were awarded for repairing streets
having an asphalt or bitulithic pavement on which the
maintenance guarantee had expired.
56 City Document No. 24.
Under Public Works Program, chapter No. 464
of the Acts of 1935, the sum of $55,889.58 was expended.
This work consisted of the resurfacing of ten streets
with "Type E" pavement in various districts of the
city.
In addition to the regular work of the Paving Service
in connection with construction and maintenance of
the public streets throughout the city, a very considerable
amount of work was done by the Works Progress
Administration.
The work undertaken, completed and now under
way by the Works Progress Administration forces,
covers street surfacing, the designing and construction
of retaining walls, playground and city lot grading,
the grading of 150 streets, and the laying of macadam
penetration in these streets, paving of public alleys,
the grading of sidewalks and a protection for the side-
walks by the laying of a so-called hip gutter at the curb.
Several large rubble stone walls have been built as
retaining walls in the city streets and abutting estates.
Over 1,900,000 granite blocks have been cut, including
the culling of some by sizes and quality.
A field survey of the city has been made whereby the
private ways of the city were located, described and
listed for charting and marking, and the erection of
private way street signs has been done by the Federal
forces.
In connection with the Federal work, projects have
been carried out for the care and sharpening of tools,
and the maintenance of yards for storage and distribu-
tion of materials.
For snow removal during the season of 1935 the sum
of $1,117,154.84 was expended. His Honor the Mayor
appointed a committee of city officials and representa-
tives from civic organizations to consider the purchase
of new trucks and snow removal equipment for the
Public Works and Park Departments. The committee
has made its report, and its recommendations for the
purchase of new equipment, as well as for changes in
the methods of snow removal, are now under consideration.
Lighting Service.
In the new Neponset Traffic Circle in Dorchester,
ten new No. 75-1000 candle power lamps were installed
and four lamps relocated. Bennington street. East
Public Works Department. 57
Boston, has had a new underground hiy-out com-
prising twenty-six additional lamps, the changing of
nineteen wooden posts to the concrete type, and the
relocation of a few lamps have been made.
River street, Hyde Park, has had seven new No.
70-600 candle power lamps installed during the year.
Waldemar avenue, in the vicinity of Suffolk Downs,
has had 11 new No. 20-80 candle power lamps installed.
Petitions and requests for new lamps received from
citizens and from officials; also complaints in relation to
the Lighting Service have been investigated and at-
tended to. All streets in the underground district
prescribed for the year have been inspected and the
necessary changes and additions have been made.
Respectfully,
Joshua Atwood,
Division Engineer.

Man Power.
The graph on page 64 shows a decrease in the number
of laborers employed in the Sanitary Division, which fell
during the year 1935 from 554 to 519.
We are still trying to operate with the assistance of
Welfare men, but as can be seen from the chart the year
1935 has been the worst so far in this respect. At the
beginning of the year these men averaged 1,090
per week but rapidly fell to about 525 per week in the
spring, and remained at this point all summer, after
which the figure rose to about 900 near the end of
the year and falling to 800 at its close.
This loss of man power is alarming and unless cor-
rected will be the cause of progressively worse street
conditions and increased complaints.
During the year an E. R. A. project was started and
completed for the removal of old automobiles, a report
of which is given in table No. 7.
In September, Mayor Mansfield instituted a clean-up
campaign, arousing the interest of many civic bodies by
means of radio, addresses, posters and newspaper co-
operation, as well as by issuing circulars to meet the
problems in the various districts; some improvement
was noticeable for a time.
Suit was brought with a view to closing the Fort Hill
Disposal Station as a nuisance. The city finally won
the case.
Comparisons Continue Valueless.
A. In the contract districts there was a drop amount-
ing to $26,000 as compared with 1934.
B. There was an increase in the personal service
items of $189,000 as compared with 1934.
C. This was due in large measure to the restoration
of the pay cuts which were in effect the previous year.
On the other hand, there was a net loss of 26 men due
to deaths, resignations, retirements and transfers.
Respectfully submitted,
Adolph J. Post,
Division Engineer.

Note. — The large number of complaints shown above
compared with the previous year is due to unusual snow
conditions in the first three months of the year, and in
order to obtain a fair comparison the following adjust-
ment has been made :
Deducting January, February and March complaints
from the 1935 total, we get 2,172 for the remaining
nine months, and deducting the same months from the
1934 total we get 2,280 complaints for the same nine
months in 1934.

APPENDIX D.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF THE
SEWER DIVISION.
Boston, January 2, 1936.
Mr. C. J. Carven,
Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir, — I submit herewith statement of the
activities and expenditures of the Sewer Division for
the year ending December 31, 1935.
There were built by contractors, day laborers and
private parties, 6.38 miles of common sewers and surface
drains throughout the city.
After deducting 1.21 miles of sewers and surface
drains rebuilt or abandoned, the net increase for 1935
is 5.17 miles, which, added to the existing 1,167 miles
of common sewers and surface drains, and 30.93 miles
of intercepting sewers, makes a grand total of 1,203.10
miles of common and intercepting sewers (and surface
drains) belonging to the City of Boston and under the
care of the Sewer Division on January 1, 1936.
There were 280 catch-basins built or rebuilt and 58
abandoned or removed during the year, making a net
gain of 222 catch-basins, and a grand total of 21,258
catch-basins under the care of the Sewer Division on
January 1, 1936.
The sewerage works built during 1935 are listed in
detail on the subsequent pages of this report.
Respectfully,
George W. Dakin,
Division Engineer, Sewer Division.
Public Works Department.

APPENDIX E.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF
THE WATER DIVISION.
Boston, January 1, 1936.
To the Commissioner of Public Works.
I respectfully submit the following report of the
activities, operations and expenditures of the Water
Division for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1935.
A continuation of the lack of building construction
in the city is reflected in the fact that only fourteen
(14) petitions were received for the extension of water
mains, being the smallest in twenty years and called
for the laying of 4.19 miles of pipe varying in size from
8-inch, to 4S-inch, as compared with 4.25 miles of pipe
laid in 1934.
In districts the extension of water mains laid were:
City Proper
East Boston
Roxbury
Dorchester
Brighton
West Roxbury
Hyde Park
0.03 miles.
. 06 miles.
. 09 miles.
. 69 miles.
. 13 miles.
2.54 miles.
.68 miles.
In continuation of the policy of replacing the older
and smaller water mains with larger sizes for the im-
provement of fire protection in the more densely popu-
lated sections of the city, 13,760 linear feet, or 2.60
miles of 4-inch, and 6-inch pipe, laid fifty years or more
ago, were replaced with 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch pipe.
Some of the longer lengths were:
City Proper.
Harvard street, 546 feet 12-inch pipe relaid with 12-
inch pipe.
Beaver place, 336 feet 6-inch pipe relaid with 8-inch
pipe.
Tremont street, 280 feet 12-inch pipe relaid with 12-
inch pipe.
Public Works Department. 91
ROXBURY.
Brookline avenue, 5,745 feet 40-inch pipe relaid with
48-inch steel pipe.
Brighton.
Newton street, 1,232 feet 8-inch pipe relaid with 12-
inch pipe.
Hyde Park.
Pierce street, 2,087 feet 4-inch and 6-inch pipe relaid
with 12-inch pipe.
Arlington street, 451 feet, 4-inch pipe relaid with 12-
inch pipe.
The Welfare forces were not used to any great extent
on main pipe work during the year, due to the fact that
the work was performed by E R. A., and W. P. A.
forces. The work performed by these organizations
was very satisfactory and a total length of 12,715
linear feet of 8-inch and 12-inch pipes were laid.
During the year work was carried on under agree-
ments entered into between the United States Govern-
ment and the City of Boston for the construction of
new water mains under the Federal Emergency Admin-
istration of Public Works, commonly known as the
''P. W. A," Under the above agreements approxi-
mately 9.800 linear feet of 48-inch pipe was laid during
the year, as follows:
Brookline avenue, from Brookline-Boston boundary
line to Kenmore square, approximately 4,600 linear feet
48-inch pipe.
Arborway, from Pond and Prince streets, to Forest
Hills street and Forest Hills street. Glen road, Sigourney
street and Walnut avenue, approximately 5,200 linear
feet 48-inch pipe.
The regular work of the Distribution Branch, con-
sisting of leak repairs, installation of service pipes,
caring for complaints, shutting off and letting on water,
etc., was performed in such a manner and at such
periods as to cause a minimum delay and inconvenience
to applicants for water, water takers and the general
public. Practically all activities in the business dis-
tricts are now performed on Sundays and holidays.
Very respectfully,
D. M. Sullivan,
Division Engineer.

APPENDIX G.
REPORT OF THE BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE
BRIDGES COMMISSION.
Boston, January 2, 193G.
To the Honorable the Mayor.
Sir, — As Commissioner for the City of Boston, I
respectfully submit herewith the annual report of the
Boston and Cambridge Bridges Commission for the
year ending December 31, 1935.
The commission is composed of two members, one
appointed by the Mayor of the City of Boston and the
other by the Mayor of the City of Cambridge, under
provisions of chapter 467, Acts of 1898.
The commission has charge of the maintenance of the
following named bridges between Boston and Cambridge :
Cottage Farm, Longfellow and Prison Point.
As there is no separate appropriation made for the
City of Boston's portion of the expenses of this com-
mission, the same is taken from the appropriation for
the Bridge and Ferry Division, Bridge Service. The
amount expended during the fiscal year ending December
31, 1935, was $5,245.
Respectfully submitted,
C. J. Carven,
Commissioner for the City of Boston.
Public Works Department.
