ANNUAL REPORT
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1046.
Boston, January 2, 1947.
Hon. James ]\I. Curley,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear I\Ir. Mayor:
In compliance with the provisions of section 24 of
chapter 3 of the Revised Ordinances of 1925, I respect-
fully submit the Annual Report of the Public Works
Department for the year ending December 31, 1946.
The street program has been a very extensive one.
Through funds which were provided by the present
administration, ninety-five were constructed or recon-
structed during the j^ear, at a cost of approximately
$1,597,706. In addition, extensive patching operations
were carried on in all sections of the city, at a cost of
$196,610, making our total expenses for the vear,
$1,794,316.
For many years while the Sanitary Division of the
Public Works Department has carried on the bulk of
the street-cleaning work throughout the city, there were
certain sections where the street cleaning was done b}^
the forces of the Highway Division. We are reorganiz-
ing this work so that, eventually, all street-cleaning
activities will be carried on by the Sanitary Division.
The first district affected by this new system is Jamaica
Plain, where recently a new street-cleaning service was
established.
2 City Document No. 24.
Our street program has been a very creditable one,
and the structural condition and cleanliness of our
streets are apparent, even to the casual observer. One
particular street worthy of mention at this time is
Columbus avenue, from Northampton street to
Roxbur}' Crossing, where the sidewalks were narrowed
and the roadway widened, including the installation of
traffic separation islands. Columbus avenue is a direct
route to intown Boston, and the improvement which
we have made thus far on this street, and which is to be
continued as soon as conditions permit, will, I feel, help
in a large measure in restoring this particular street, as
the new construction, together with the improved
lighting facilities which have been installed, will serve
as an incentive to property owners to improve their
premises.
A problem which affected the City for many years
was the presence of the so-called looper traps in the
roadwa}' of Bunker Hill street, Charlestown. Much
agitation has been carried on for a long time for the
removal of these traps, and finalh% with the approval
of your Honor, steps were taken to bring about their
ehmination. This was accomphshed; the traps were
removed and the roadwaj^ was opened to complete use
just prior to the 17th of last June.
Besides the two iriiprovements which I have men-
tioned, this department has completed street construc-
tion jobs on the American Legion Highway, in Dor-
chester, from Blue Hill avenue to Walk Hill street; on
Medford street, Charlestown, from Chelsea street to
Main street; Day square and Bennington street. East
Boston, from Prescott street approximately to the
railroad bridge; Bremen street. East Boston, from
Porter street to Bennington street; and ^Metropolitan
avenue. West Roxbury, from Kittredge street to Poplar
street. We are now negotiating with the Department
of Public Works of the Commonwealth, with a view to
obtaining the cooperation of the State in the matter of
reconstructing, under chapter 90 of the General Laws,
Beacon street in Brighton, from Cleveland Circle to the
Newton line, and Gallivan Boulevard, in Dorchester,
from the traffic circle at Neponset Bridge to Granite
avenue. Our negotiations are progressing satisfactorily,
and with the joint cooperation of the State and the
City, we hope to be able to rebuild both of these streets
during the coming construction season.
L
Public Works Department. 3
On October 1 of the present year, the City became
the owner of all of the equipment used for street
lighting. This equipment, with the exception of the
posts which always were the property of the City, was
purchased by agreement with the owners. A contract
was awarded for lighting, extinguishing, and servicing
the lamps on very satisfactory terms, and there is no
question but, from a financial standpoint, the Cit^' will
save mone}' by carrying on gas lighting under the
present arrangement.
We have taken advantage of the sales of property
and equipment which became surplus, as far as the
Federal Government is concerned. Tires and equip-
ment of various types have been purchased at con-
siderable saving to the City, and I am sure that the
results we have obtained have justified the action
taken. In spite of the fact that motor vehicle equip-
ment has not been available for some time, the
department has continued to operate with the equipment
it already possessed by inheritance from previous
administrations. I feel that the equipment of this
department is in a better condition than it has been
for 3^ears, due to the fact that most of it has been
thoroughly overhauled at a reasonable expense, and it
is now ready for service in connection \^'ith our snow-
removal activities.
The Public Works Department during the year has
cooperated very extensively with the Boston Housing
Authority, the State Housing Authority, and the
Federal Public Housing Authority, in the matter of the
construction and erection of temporary housing for
veterans. It was possible to carry on this particular
work because of the interest shown by your Honor in
securing funds for the purpose. Under our direction
water pipes were laid, sewerage facilities installed, and
roadways constructed at Franklin Field and at the
Alsen Playground in Dorchester.
Many of our bridges are in need of extensive repairs;
in fact, some of them should be completely rebuilt.
All of these bridges carry very heavy traffic, and in
order to keep them in operation, we have had to spend
considerable money this year on a number of them.
A very large job had to be done on the Charlestown
Bridge over the Charles River, because of an accident
which occurred on the 17th of last December when a
boat backing out from one of the docks, ran into the
4 City Document No. 24.
bridge, throwing it entirely out of commission, as well
as interrupting the service of the Elevated structure.
We proceeded immediately to make repairs, which cost
nearly $100,000. The matter of reimbursing the City
for the expense to which it had to go for this work is
now being handled by the Law Department, in court.
The business of the Sumner Tunnel continues to gain.
For the eleven months ending November 30 the vehicle
count and the revenue from toll rates exceeded those
of the entire year of 1945. From present indications,
it is evident that the business of the tunnel this year
will be the largest that it has been since the tunnel was
opened on the 30th day of June, 1934. Due to a new
system which was inaugurated some time ago in the
Sumner Tunnel, traffic now flows through this facility
more smoothly. Through an arrangement made with
the street railway companies which operate busses in
the tunnel, their vehicles are now permitted to go
through without payment of the customary toll, and
an accounting is made for the vehicles of these com-
panies which go through the tunnel. Payment is then
made on a monthly basis. In that way no stoppages
occur because of the necessity of the operators of busses
having to present tickets as thej^ enter the tunnel at
either end. This is an accomplishment which I feel has
helped very much in the operation of the tunnel. We
are now making arrangements to award contracts for
some necessary repairs to the Administration Building
and also to the ventilation buildings connected with the
tunnel.
Through the efforts of this department in collecting
outstanding bills, which received the wholehearted
approval and encouragement of your Honor, water
revenue increased to such an extent that it was possible
to make a reduction in the rates to consumers. The
officials and employees of this department in the Water
Division deserve credit for the manner in which they
have handled the affairs of the Division and the record
which has been made is worthy of commendation. On
July 1, with the approval of your Honor and also with the
approval of the Metropolitan District Commission, a 20
per cent reduction was made in the rates for water fur-
nished to consumers. It is very gratifying to know that
it was possible for this department to take such a step.
At the request of this department, your Honor asked
the City Council to provide a loan of $200,000 for the
erection of an incinerator in the Brighton district. The
I
Public Works Department. 5
necessan' authorization has been received and this
department is about ready to proceed with making
arrangements for awarding a contract. This, in my
opinion, is one means of solving the problem of garbage
and rubbish disposal with which the department has
had to contend for manj^ years, and I am sure that the
erection of this plant will be of invaluable benefit to the
City. .
For man}' years the City has received complaints that
the waters of Boston Harbor were being polluted by
sewage discharged from its basins located at Moon
Island. Considerable thought has been given to the^
matter, and it was finally decided that a sewage treat-
ment plant should be constructed. The necessary con-
tract for the preparation of plans was awarded some
time ago, the preliminary design has been completed,
and work is now in progress on the final design. The
estimated cost of this plant is $4,000,000, and we are
hopeful of obtaining, through the assistance of your
Honor, federal funds to help defray the cost of the
construction of this plant. It will be modern and
up-to-date in every detail, and when completed will be
of considerable benefit to the City of Boston in disposing
of its sewage.
The Dorchester and Hyde Park areas are the recipi-
ents of projects for sewer construction which will be
of benefit for the betterment of both districts. A
contract has been awarded at an estimated cost of
S200,000 for covering in and extending another section
of Ston}^ Brook, and in Dorchester, Tenean Creek is
being built in a covered conduit for a length of about
1,000 feet from its present terminus at the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad, to Freeport street.
The estimated cost of this work is $294,000.
I am pleased to inform your Honor that through
economies made in this department, it was possible
during the 3'ear to furnish funds to other departments
which ran short in their appropriations, and this was
done without any curtailment in the activities of the
Public "Works Department. Reports from the Divi-
sion Engineers covering the operations of their divisions
for the 3'ear are attached.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert P. Curley,
Commissioner of Public Works.

All these boats are of the propeller type and all are

The work of this service for the year consisted of the
following: —
Ferries.
Ferry Boat '^Daniel A. MacCormack."
Early in this year data was collected for the annual
repairs to the hull and machinery of the ''Daniel A.
MacCormack" so that the boat would again have the
Federal Certificate to operate as soon as the papers of
the "Ralph J. Palumbo, " then on the route, would expire.
On April 17, when the bids were publicly opened and
read, there was but one proposal to consider, that of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation. This bid was
accepted and on May 22 a contract was entered into
with the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, in the
sum of $26,234. Work on the contract started on May 23,
when the vessel was taken to the Atlantic Works.
As the work progressed, it was soon noted that all of
the necessarj' repairs to again place the boat in service
were not covered in the terms of the contract which had
been entered into; this condition became apparent as
the various phases were uncovered as the terms of the
contract were being fulfilled. While under the contract
all repairs deemed necessary had been covered on tjhe hull
and machiner}^, it was later found that further repairs to
the main engines, auxiliaries and hull would be required
to again put the boat in service and maintain it on the
route for at least one year, all as required by the United
States Coast Guard, Inspection Service. To cover ad-
ditional work, when the necessity appeared, an extra
work order, dated June 27, was written in the sum of
$2,332.
22 City Document No. 24.
While every effort was made to complete the contract
in due time, there were apparently some needless delays
which required the City, in order to maintain the ferry
service, to applj^ for an extension of the ''papers" of the
"Ralph J. Palumbo" for a period of one week, otherwise
the service would be stopped until the "Daniel A.
MacCormack" was again in proper condition to again
go on the route. Under the circumstances, the extension
was granted and on July 30, as soon as the work was
completed, the vessel began operating on the route.
AH work under the contract, including the additional
work as noted, was completed at a cost of $31,682.69.
Repairs to South Ferry Fenders.
A contract was awarded to Roy B. Rendle & Co.,
Inc., for repairing the fenders of the South Ferry on

of ashes from the ferryboats on December 31, 1945.

Work commenced April 22, 1946, and after the Boston
Distribution Cabinet had been removed the City found
it was impossible to get delivery on new cable to complete
the work, so that the contract was terminated on March
21, 1946, at a cost of $700.
Painting, etc., at the Sumner Tunnel and Administration
Building.
A contract was awarded to John D. Ahern for painting
the exterior and interior of the Administration Building,

+ Including two military leaves.
The 1946 expenditures and costs show a net increase
over those of last year amounting to $194,245.07.
There were increases in the various accounts as
follows: Waste contract collection, $190,665.98. This
Public Works Department. 45
was occasioned by a general increase in the prices of the
contracts amounting to about $87,000, and a special
increase in the Brighton district of $63,000 for the nine
months during which it was necessary for the Brighton
waste material to be hauled to the Mile Road dump in
South Boston.
There was also an increase in the disposal contract
amounting to $49,000, a part of which, however, must
be charged to the day labor expenditures, and $12,000
charged to the Brighton district.
There was an increase of $120,524.02 in the street
cleaning force expenditures, due to the transfer of men
to this service from the day labor sanitary service,
and the creation of a new district.
Decreases were shown in the day labor waste collection
service which amounted to a net decrease of $45,874.07.
This reduction reflected two things: (a) a drop in
the motor cleaning account from $136,391.87 in 1945
to $89,864.42 in 1946, or a net drop, on account of having
more repair work done in the municipal garage, amount-
ing to $46,527.44; (b) an actual drop in the personal
service account in the three day-labor waste collection
districts amounting to $15,193.19.
Other decreases were as follows: The paper salvage
drive which in 1945 accounted for $40,204.29, does
not appear this year. A preventive street-cleaning
item shows a drop of $18,488.48, and the cost of the
clean-up in 1946 was $16,264.56 less than this cost
for 1945.
Among the various activities of this division during
the year of 1946 were the following:
On account of the shutting down of the Watertown
dump, it was necessary to transport the Brighton
refuse to a city-owned dump on Mt. Vernon street,
and after this dump was closed by order of the Health
Department, to a dump owned by Coleman Disposal
Company, for the use of which the city paid $3,000
a month. The original Brighton district contract,
with dumping privileges in Watertown, was at the
rate of $10,000 a month, for the first three months of
the year. Since the necessity of hauling to South
Boston, the price was increased to $17,000 a month.
The construction of an incinerator in the Brighton
district was provided for by a loan of $200,000, and
borings were made at the proposed site at the City Yard
on Western avenue.
4G City Document No. 24.
Extensive repairs were made at the Albany Street
Disposal Station, which was in a dangerous condition.
At the Ward Street Sand Hopper Station, repairs
were made to the windows, and a door installed; also,
structural work underneath the ramp.
An equipment loan was authorized, which was in-
tended to be used to replace all the motor vehicle
equipment in the Sanitary and other divisions of the
Public Works Department, but onl}^ a small part of
this equipment was received during 1946.
On August 21, 1946, a new street-cleaning district
was created in the Jamaica Plain area, which was
formerly taken care of by the Paving Service of the
Highway Division.
A spring clean-up drive was conducted, which lasted
about four weeks, and was accomplished in an unusually
efficient manner by the use of hired trucks and men as
well as the regular city forces and equipment.
The work of the Sanitary Division, in cleaning up
the streets after the Veterans of Foreign Wars parade
on September 5, was praised and editorially commented
upon by the Boston newspapers.
Respectfully submitted,
Adolph J. Post.
Division Engineer.

APPENDIX D.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER
OF THE SEWER DIVISION.
Boston, January 2, 1947.
To the Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir, — I submit herewith statement of the ac-
tivities and expenditures of the Sewer Division for the
j^ear ending December 31, 1946.
During the fiscal year 1946, there were built by con-
tractors and day labor 3.54 miles of common sewers
and surface drains throughout the city. After deduct-
ing 0.02 miles of sewers and surface drains, rebuilt or
abandoned, the net increase for 1946 is 3.52 miles,
which, added to the existing 1,223.52 miles of common
sewers and surface drains and 30.93 miles of intercept-
ing sewers, makes a grand total of 1,257.97 miles of all
sewers belonging to the City of Boston, and under the
care of the Sewer Division on January 1, 1947.
There were 107 catch-basins built or rebuilt and 52
abandoned or removed during the year, making a net
gain of 55 catch-basins and a grand total of 22,689
catch-basins under the care of the Sewer Division on
January 1, 1947.
Entrance fees to the amount of $3,647.04 have been
deposited with the City Collector for collection from
estates upon which no sewer assessments were ever
paid, in accordance with Ordinances of 1925, chapter
27, section 10.
663 permits have been issued, viz.: 270 to district
foremen and contractors and 393 to drainlayers for re-
pairing or laying new house drains. Inspectors from
this office have personally inspected the work done
under these drainlayers' permits.
2,965 complaints have been investigated, and inspec-
tors are instructed to report in writing in each case.
1,467 catch-basin complaints were received.
Public Works Department. 53
Reported in writing on 2,817 municipal liens to the
City Collector, in accordance with chapter 60, section
25, of the General Laws. Reported orally on about
2,600 requests for information on Municipal liens.
Notices have been mailed to abutters in conformity
with the Ordinances, chapter 27, section 8, apprising
them of the construction of new sewers or repairs to
old sewers.
During the year 1946, 3,047 catch-basins were cleaned
by day labor and 2,460 catch-basins were cleaned by
contract.
Respectfully,
Robert P. Shea,
Division Engineer.

APPENDIX E.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF
THE WATER DIVISION.
Boston, January 2, 1947.
To the Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit the following
report of the activities, operations and expenditures
of the Water Division for the year ending December 31,
1946.
In order to cooperate with the United States Govern-
ment in the conservation of critical material, the work
of laying and relaying water mains has been severely
curtailed so that but very little work of this nature
was performed during the year.
A total of 15,540 linear feet of pipe were either laid
or relaid, varying in sizes from 3-inch to 16-inch, in-
clusive, as follows:
LAID RELAID
Linear Feet Linear Feet
City Proper 140 225
South Boston
Dorchester .
Brighton
West Roxbury
Hyde Park .
Total .
The particular streets in which the above work was
performed are shown on the accompanjang tables.
Distribution Branch.
Due to the decrease in personnel, and the diflEiculty
of replacing employees during the war, the department
has engaged the services of contractors to assist the
departmental forces in the City Proper, Dorchester, and
West Roxbury districts.
The regular work of this l)ranch, consisting of in-
stallation of new services and fire pipes, repairing of
leaks, caring for complaints, shutting off and letting
on water, freeing of stoppages in pipes, etc., was per-

formed in such a manner and at such periods as to cause
minimum delay and inconvenience to appUcants for
water, water takers and the general public.
The machine shop and plumbing shop were forced
to handle all the drilling and connecting of services in
addition to the regular work carried on in these shops,
such as the machining and assembling of gates, valves,
and hydrants, and the department assisted the other
branches of the Public Works Department in per-
forming special jobs.
Business Office.
The campaign inaugurated in 1938 to enforce the
payment of outstanding water bills is still in force.
Customers in arrears are notified that the flow of water
will be reduced, but j-et enough water is left on the
premises to provide a minimum for health and sanitary
requirements. As a result of this campaign the Water
Division ended the year 1946 with a surplus of
$2,474,292.38, this surplus being due mainly to the
collection of bills past due, and a decrease in the Metro-
politan assessment for the year 1946.

Public Works Department. 77
This department contacts the water consumers very
frequently throughout the year, and the conduct of the
office has been such that I beheve a spirit of good will
between the customers and the employees has been
brought about which is beneficial to the consumer and
the City.
The issuance of statements of outstanding water
bills to the consumers has been continued. The appre-
ciation of the customers is shown by the fact that the
number of liens placed on premises this year has been
reduced.
Respectfully submitted,
D. M. Sullivan,
Division Engineer.
