ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FOR THE
vi:ar ending December si, 1949.
Boston-, January 3, 1950.
Hon. John B. Hynes,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear Mr. Mayor:
I respectfully submit the following report relating
to the activities of the Public Works Department for
the year ending December 31, 1949:
During the year a particularly important and necessary
job was done to strengthen and recondition the pier
foundations of the Chariest own Bridge which, upon
examination, were found to have deteriorated to an
alarming degree. Under a contract awarded to the
Crandall Engineering Company, this work is now in
progress and will be completed early in the coming year.
Much work of a maintenance nature has been done
on the city-owned bridges. This work, of necessity,
should not be curtailed. In fact, the time has come when
larger sums should be made available for rebuilding
many of our bridges which are in a dangerous condition,
and for major repairs and maintenance.
For the protection of motorists and
bridges which carry highway traffic, a
awarded in 1948 for the installation of
flashers and reflectors on such of these
others using
contract was
traffic signal
structures as
have center roadway obstructions. The work of
w- 3/, r,5

installation was completed in January of this year,
and since these devices were considered as being more
properly with the general control of vehicular traffic
under the jurisdiction of the Boston Traffic Commission,
negotiations were carried on with that department for
taking over the operation and maintenance of that
equipment on 25 bridges throughout the city, together
with the care, control and maintenance of the standard
push-button traffic control lights at Chelsea North
Bridge, Chelsea Street Bridge, and Maiden Bridge.
With the approval of the Mayor, the Boston Traffic
Commission assumed complete jurisdiction for all of
this equipment on March 15 of the current year.
The operating machinery of the ferryboat " Daniel A.
MacCormack" was completely overhauled and the
superstructure painted under one contract. Under
another contract the rudders, propellers and other
underwater parts of the boat were repaired. The larger
part of this work was done in accordance with the
requirements of the Coast Guard Steamship Inspection
Service. Repairs of a more or less general nature were
made to the Ferry plant on both sides of the harbor.
The department has had a problem where, because
of freezing, the fire line water pipe originally installed
in the Sumner Tunnel has at times been unavailable
for use. From time to time minor repairs were made
and, this year, it was decided to renew the pipe and
encase it with an asphalt and sand mastic which
will serve as an insulation and, it is expected, will
prevent further trouble from freezing. The work,
performed under contract, was completed in December.
Although bids were received on the 30th of November,
after public advertisement, for removing the drawspan
and as much of the approaches on both sides of the
Meridian Street Bridge as is necessary to comply with
the requirements of the Secretary of the Army that a
175-foot channel way be provided, a contract for doing
the work has not, as yet, been awarded. The original
order, modified several times, requires that the alter-
ation must be made by January 31, 1950. Negotiations
are now being carried on with officials of the Department
of the Army for further time for carrying out this
requirement.
The plans prepared by the Crandall Engineering
Company for a new structure to replace the existing
Warren Bridge, over the Charles River, are completed
Public Works Department. 3
and ready for use when it appears advisable to proceed
with the erection of a new bridge at that location.
Proposals were received on November 23 for collecting
and removing garbage, ashes and rubbish during the
coming year. In the last remaining district — the South
End — where this work has been done by day-labor
forces heretofore, the collections, beginning on January
1, will be made by contract, thereby completing the
conversion of the entire city to the system of contract
collection.
The work of changing over from gas street lighting to
electric street lighting, started last 3Tear, has been
continued in a very satisfactory manner. During the
year, 979 gas lamps were eliminated and replaced by
an equal number of electric lamps in the various sub-
urban sections of the city. This program will be carried
on without interruption in all sections where electric
facilities are available and provided that the Boston
Edison Company is able to procure the necessary supplies
and equipment required for the new installations.
A large and important program of street construction
was prepared for the current year which included the
reconstruction of a number of main arteries and of many
streets in the residential sections. Considerable resur-
facing of roadway areas was done in the downtown
section of the city. A list of the major improvements is
included in the Highway Division section of this report.
The activities of the Sewer and Water Divisions
included the maintenance of the systems and the exten-
sion of facilities where required. Complete cooperation
was given by these two divisions to developers of
property who were erecting new homes, and the Boston
Housing Authority was assisted in every way in con-
nection with the construction of its projects.
By its diligence in collecting current water charges
as well as overdue accounts, the Water Division ended
the year with a surplus of $632,547.10, a very credit-
able record.
Respectfully yours,
Robert P. Curley,
Commissioner of Public Works.

Bridge Service.
General Repairs to the Bennington Street Bridge, over the
former Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad.
Due to the very poor condition of the roadway plank
and steel work of this bridge, extensive repairs were
necessary and a contract was entered into with Martin
J. Kelly Company, Inc., for doing this work. Work
commenced October 3, 1949, and is now in progress.
It is expected that the work will be completed early
in 1950. Payments of $9,241.09 have been made to
date.
Resurfacing, Painting, Etc., the Brooks Street Bridge and
Stairway in Brighton.
Because of the defective condition of the roadway
surface, which allowed water to leak through to the steel
work, a contract was entered into with Charles A.
Reynolds to remove the existing surface, grout the
concrete underdeck, resurface, make necessary repairs
and paint. The work commenced August 22, 1949,
and was completed October 1, 1949, at a cost of
$2,001.17.
Emergency Repairs to the Charlestown Bridge Piers.
An under water inspection of the pier foundations
disclosed that seven of the piers had been undermined
to an alarming degree. Test samples of the concrete
removed showed very poor material for depths up to
2 and 3 feet. Conditions indicated that immediate
repairs were necessary and the city entered into a
contract with the Crandall Engineering Company for
strengthening the pier foundations by driving a short
steel bulkhead at the most defective sections, in such a
way as to allow the work to be continued, and then

placed by tremie method. The work commenced
August 17, 1949, and is now in progress. Work is
expected to be completed about midyear in 1950.
Payments of $54,243.91 have been made to date.
Repairs to Gove Street Footbridge.
A contract was entered into with Martin J. Kelly
Company, Inc., for making necessary steel repairs, re-
newing the planking of the walkway and stairways, and
cleaning and painting. Work was commenced May 1,
1949, and completed October 5, 1949, at a cost of
$15,524.85.
Repairs to Gove Street Footbridge (Additional Work).
While work was progressing on the previous contract
it was found necessary to make more extensive repairs
to the steel work than was first estimated. Another
contract was entered into with Martin J. Kelly Com-
pany, Inc., for this additional work using the original
bid prices as a basis. The work commenced Septem-
ber 27, 1949, and was completed October 5, 1949, at a
cost of $2,392.50.
Steel Repairs to the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge, over
the Boston <fe Albany Railroad.
Extensive repairs to the steel work, including placing
new cover plates on the bottom flanges of all girders was
commenced in September, 1948, under a contract entered
into with Frederick W. Byron. Due to slow deliveries
of steel the work was stopped December 21, 1948, and
was resumed May 9, 1949. It was completed August 8,
1949, at a cost of $57,017.90.
Repairing Fender Piers at Meridian Street Bridge.
Due to damage caused by the tanker "Abiqua" on
January 14, 1949, the upstream end of the East Boston
fender pier and the downstream end of the main fender
pier were badly damaged. In order to restore the
fenders, which protect the drawspan and landing, the
city entered into a contract with W. H. Ellis & Son
Company, to make necessary repairs. The work was
commenced March 21, 1949, and was completed April 29,
1949, at a cost of $5,385.35.
The shipping interests involved have been billed for
the damage.
16 City Document No. 24.
Emergency Repairs to the Machinery Foundation at
Slimmer Street Bridge, over Fort Point Channel.
A collapse of the wooden foundation made it necessary
to rebuild immediately. A contract was entered into
with the W. H. Ellis & Son Company, and work com-
menced September 12, 1949, and was completed Oc-
tober 5, 1949, at a cost of $3,828.37.
Emergency Repairs to Machinery at Summer Street
Bridge, over Fort Point Channel.
Due to a severe breakdown, caused by foundation
failure, it was necessary to make extensive repairs to
the machinery. A contract was entered into with the
Daniel Man & Son Company, and work commenced
September 6, 1949, and was completed Seotember 29,
1949, at a cost of $2,221.43.
Guniting and Painting Temple Street Bridge, Brighton,
under the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road.
In order to eliminate a dangerous condition, due to
disintegrating surface concrete in extensive areas of the
arch and wing walls, a contract was entered into with
the Coleman-Doyle Company, for necessary repairs.
Work commenced August 18, 1949, and was completed
December 12, 1949, at a cost of $5,014.90.
Rebuilding the Superstructure of the Walworth Street

t Including one military leave.
Work Accomplished. — During the early part of the
year 1949, while the motor sweepers were out of serv-
ice, 200 temporary laborers were employed for three
months on street cleaning.
44 City Document No. 24.
The servicing of the Dempster-Dumpster equipment
has been performed by the South End day labor refuse
collection force, because this system was largely used
for the relay of refuse from the ends of the South End
alleys.
In 1950, the refuse collection will be done by con-
tract, and the relay system for rubbish collection by
city forces will then be discontinued. Therefore, a
new street cleaning subdivision was created to service
the Dempster-Dumpster system. Standard boxes were
placed at strategic locations throughout the city, and
are picked up by a crane designed for this purpose.
It is a functional service, and has no district boundaries.
On January 1, 1949, the North and West Ends
(refuse removal) district was placed under contract,
and the city day labor force of 76 men, thus released,
were distributed among the various street-cleaning
districts.
On June 28, the cleaning of Columbia road, from
Edward Everett square to Blue Hill avenue (at Frank-
lin Park), was transferred from the Park Department
to the Sanitary Division, and this area is now cleaned
by District C-13, Dorchester.
The following listed repairs and improvements have
been accomplished:
Repairs to Receiving Station at Albany street.
Repairs to buildings at 650 Albany Street Yard.
Repairs to Fort Hill Receiving Station, including painting.
Repairs at Battery Street Yard Lavatory.
Repairs at Victory Road Receiving Station.
At the Albany Street Receiving Station, a bulkhead
was constructed not only to retain the land area, which
had fallen into the slip, but also to serve as a dust
curtain.
Extensive repairs were made at the Fort Hill Wharf
Receiving Station, costing upwards of $40,000, and
consisting chiefly of replacement of defective piling and
underframing and decking. The dredging of the slips
at this location was also accomplished.
The following listed equipment was received under
the Equipment Loan:
1 Elgin sweeper.
The following listed equipment was received under
Item C-4, during the year 1949:
Three Ford sedans, six pickup trucks, six Elgin sweepers,
ten Ford dump trucks.
Public Works Department. 45
The quota of the Sanitary Division permanent em-
ployees was reduced to 883, on account of the placing
of the North and West Ends district under contract
for refuse removal.
Increases and Decreases. — The expenditures for the
year 1949 show an increase over those of 1948 of
$766,739.39. This increase is explained as follows:
1. There was an increase in the contract prices for
collecting and removing of waste material amounting
to $111,882.60.
2. The North and West Ends district was placed
under contract for the first time at a price of $201,420.
3. Extensive repairs to the disposal stations, par-
ticularly the Fort Hill Station, account for an in-
crease over 1948 amounting to $61,649.80. On ac-
count of the closing of the Fort Hill Station for
repairs for two and one-half months, the contractors
using this station were awarded the sum of $20,310.
4. There was an increase in the amount of the
disposal contract amounting to $57,287.
5. Street cleaning expenditures were increased in
the amount of $458,691.05, chiefly on account of the
transfer of the North and West Ends district laborers
to this service.
6. Against these increases, decreases should be
noted in the following items:
(a) Waste collection day labor $244,216 95
(6) Indirect .... 42,187 39
7. In the indirect item, there was an increase
of $13,662.81 in pensions, $19,034.65 in preventive
street cleaning, and $3,051.61 in miscellaneous items.
Against these increases, there was a decrease of
$1,895.06 in the injured roll, and there was no special
spring clean-up expense, which in 1948 amounted to
$76,041.40.
8. Distributed throughout these expenditures is
the full-year increase in wages and salaries of em-
ployees, amounting to about $200,000 in 1949, as
against $100,000 granted in 1948 for one-half year,
or a net increase in this amount of about $100,000
in 1949.
Respectfully submitted,
Adolph J. Post,
Division Engineer.

APPENDIX D.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER
OF THE SEWER DIVISION.
Boston, January 3, 1050.
To the Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir:
I submit herewith statement of the activities and ex-
penditures of the Sewer Division for the vear ending
December 31, 1949.
During the fiscal year 1949, there were built by con-
tractors and day labor 7.50 miles of common sewers and
surface drains throughout the city. After deducting
0.21 miles of sewers and surface drains, rebuilt or aban-
doned, the net increase for 1949 is 7.29 miles, which
added to the existing 1,241.14 miles of common sewers
and surface drains and 30.93 miles of intercepting sewers,
makes a grand total of 1,279.36 miles of all sewers be-
longing to the City of Boston, and under the care of the
Sewer Division on January 1, 1950.
There were 125 catch basins built or rebuilt and 10
abandoned or removed during the year, making a net
gain of 115 catch basins and a grand total of 23,155
catch basins under the care of the Sewer Division on
January 1, 1950.
Entrance fees to the amount of $3,019.38 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.
Seven hundred and twenty-eight permits have been
issued, viz., 240 to district foremen and contractors and
488 to drainlayers for repairing or laying new house
drains. Inspectors from this office have personally in-
spected the work done under these drainlayers' permits.
Two thousand nine hundred and three complaints
have been investigated and inspectors are instructed to
report in writing in each case.
52 City Document No. 24.
One thousand five hundred and sixty-seven catch
basin complaints were received.
Reported in writing on 2,402 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 of 1925, chapter 27, section 8,
apprising them of the construction of new sewers or
repairs to old sewers.
During the year 1949, 4,170 catch basins were cleaned
by day labor and 3,044 catch basins were cleaned by
contract.
Respectfully,
Robert P. Shea,
Division Engineer.
Public Works Department.

APPENDIX E.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ENGINEER OF
THE WATER DIVISION.
Bostox, January 3, 19.50.
To the Commissioner of Public Works.
Dear Sir:
I respectfully submit the following report of the
activities of the Water Division, operations and ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1949.
The shortage of critical materials having been les-
sened, and new meters made available, the work of
laying and relaying water mains and the replacement
of obsolete meters, etc., was resumed.
A total of 15,993 linear feet of pipe were either laid
or relaid, varying in sizes from 6-inch to 12-inch,
inclusive, as follows:
Laid. Relaid.
District. Linear Feet. Linear Feet.

Distribution Branch.
Due to the increased volume of work caused by
applications for service pipes, etc., the department has
engaged the services of contractors during the year.
The regular work of this branch, 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 performed
in such a manner and at such periods as to cause mini-
mum delay and inconvenience to applicants 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 perform-
ing special jobs.
Business Office.
• In order to enforce the payment of outstanding water
bills, customers in arrears are notified that the flow of
water will be reduced, but yet enough water is left on
the premises to provide a minimum for health and
sanitarv requirements. As a result, the Water Division
ended the year 1949 with a surplus of $632,547.10, this
surplus being due mainly to the collection of bills due
and payable.

Total amount collected in 1949, on bills
rendered prior to 1949 $677,795 33
This department contacts the water consumers very
frequently throughout the year, and the conduct of
the office has been such that I believe a spirit of good
will between the customers and the employees has been
brought about which is beneficial to the consumers and
the city.
The issuance of statements of outstanding water bills
to the consumers before placing of liens on premises
has been continued. The appreciation of the customers
is shown by the fact that the number of liens placed
on premises this year has been reduced.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel M. Sullivan,
Division Engineer.
