ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1965
Boston, January 2, 1966.
Hon. John F. Collins,
Mayor of Boston.
Dear Mr. Mayor:
In compliance with the provisions of Section 25,
Chapter 3, of the Revised Ordinances of 1961, I respect-
fully submit herewith the annual report of the Public
Works Department and the Public Improvement Com-
mission for the year ending December 31, 1965.
The varied programs of the Public Works Department
aimed at maintaining and improving the public health,
safety, and convenience of the public have been carried
on with efficiency and economy. These programs in-
clude highway construction and reconstruction; high-
way maintenance, including bridge maintenance and
street and catch-basin cleaning; the construction, main-
tenance, and operation of a water distribution system;
also a sewerage collection system, including surface and
storm water drainage ; and the collection and disposal of
offal and rubbish. The expenditures for these services
amounted to $28,759,708 for this year.
City Document No. 18
Personnel
The general policy of reducing the number of em-
ployees by natural attrition without curtailment of vital
services has reached its limit. At the close of the year
1964 there were 1,364 employees, and on January 1, 1966,
1,362 employees. This compares with 1,788 at the close
of 1959, 1,453 at the close of 1962, and 1,380 in 1963. A
concerted effort should be made to fill our quota of 1,450
able bodied employees if the department is to function
efficiently.
The national shortage of engineers and other profes-
sional workers is still acute. The differential in salaries
paid by private industries in these categories and civil
service employment is so great as to make it impossible
to recruit quahfied engineering graduates. This differ-
ential is also felt in the fields of labor and skilled
mechanics.
To offset these shortages the department has main-
tained technical courses available to qualifying em-
ployees at no cost to the employee. Northeastern
University provided courses in "Fundamentals of Pubhc
Works Construction" and an "Educational Program for
Managerial Supervisory Personnel" as well as "Motor
Vehicle Fleet Management" and "Management of Auto-
motive Equipment Maintenance." Boston College
provided a course in "Municipal Personnel Administra-
tion," and South Boston High School courses in "Typ-
ing, Shorthand, and Secretarial." Lowell Technological
Institute is providing a five-year course leading to a
degree of "Associate in Civil Engineering." Courses
were also provided in communication and occupational
safety.
On June 30, 1965, James W. Haley retired as Com-
missioner of PubHc Works. Commissioner Haley en-
tered the city service in 1928 as a rodman in the old
Street Laying-Out Department and advanced to Chief
Engineer in that department. Division Engineer in the
Engineering Division of the Pubhc Works Department,
and on January 4, 1960, became Commissioner of Public
Works. During his term of office he effected a complete
reorganization of the department and instituted many
Public Works Department 5
changes and new procedures in organization and func-
tions. He was instrumental in initiating several courses
of in-service training for departmental personnel at
Northeastern University and other local educational
institutions. His was an outstanding career and he will
long be remembered by his former fellow-employees.
Central Office
The Central Office is composed of three sections: an
Administrative Branch in the charge of the Senior
Administrative Assistant, a Maintenance Branch in the
charge of the Director of Transportation, and a Permit
Branch in the charge of the Supervisor of Permits.
The Administrative Branch functions include the
preparation and processing of correspondence, purchase
supply requisitions, service orders, contracts, payrolls,
personnel requisitions for transfers, promotions, and
terminations; the keeping of all required records and
files; and providing all services required by the Public
Improvement Commission.
The Maintenance Branch provides for the repair and
maintenance of the departmental automotive equipment;
the supervision and maintenance of all departmental
buildings and property; the operation of four garages;
the operation of a blacksmith shop, a sweeper repair
shop, and a building maintenance shop; and the around-
the-clock operation of a two-way radio station.
The Maintenance Branch is responsible for the repair
and maintenance of 397 vehicles. New equipment was
acquired by purchase from the 1965 appropriations in
the amount of $223,183.11; and $57,393 from the Snow
Removal Appropriation.
The work involved in making approximately 10,000
annual repair jobs is performed at four locations; High-
land St., Albany St., Hancock St., and Forest Hills.
(A) The Highland Street Motor Repair Garage is
used for general repair work, stockroom, lubrication
and dispensing of gasoline and oil. The stockroom
contains an inventory of repair parts, tires, batteries,
etc., valued at $50,000. A schedule of monthly lubri-
cation is set up and the condition of vehicles is checked
at that time.
6 City Document No. 18
(B) Albany Street Garage in Public Works Depart-
ment District No. 1.
This unit consists of the garage proper, the welding
shop, the street sweeper shop and the communication
center. The garage is used for storing trucks and dis-
pensing of gasohne and oil. During the winter season,
repairs to chains are made here. Inspection for the
semi-annual Registry of Motor Vehicles inspections are
carried out at the aforesaid locations.
The sweeper repair shop maintains the street sweeper
fleet and, in the snow removal season, repairs the snow-
fighting equipment in the area.
The maintenance shop maintains buildings and re-
lated property of the department; constructs barriers,
disposal boxes, signs, erects fences and platforms, re-
models offices, etc. The personnel is made up of skilled
mechanics.
The welding shop is responsible for the care and
maintenance of snowplows, street sweeper brooms and
runners, disposal boxes, etc. Approximately 300 snow-
plows and frames are installed on city trucks and con-
tractors equipment and repairs are made on cutting
edges, plow wheels, semicircles and curb bumpers. The
shop does all welding on above plows and also on all
other types of equipment. Considerable repair work
is performed for other divisions of the department,
repair of pumps and screens for the Sewer Division,
repairing pipes, burning joints and cutting of bolts,
repairing gate and shutoff wrenches for the Water Di-
vision, welding parts for cranes and stabilizing bars for
Sanitary Division incinerator and repairing signs and
fences for Highway Division. Welding is done on all
types of vehicles.
The Albany Street switchboard and the two-way
radio base are located at the Albany Street Water Yard
and are on a 24-hour, 7-day a week basis. The operators
are in constant contact with the vehicles which are
equipped as mobile stations.
(C) The Maintenance Branch in Public Works De-
partment Area No. 2 is located at Forest Hills. It
is used for repair work, lubrication, and the dispensing
of gasoline and oil.
Public Works Department 7
(D) The Maintenance Branch in Public Works De-
partment Area No. 3 is located at Hancock Street,
Dorchester, and is used for the same purposes as in
Area No. 2.
It has been recognized that there is a need of a central-
ized facility for departmental maintenance. In 1963
the Legislature enacted legislation (Chapter 812) au-
thorizing the State Department of Public Works to
convey land in the Roxbury section of the city. This
site would make an ideal locus for a centralized yard.
The Permit Branch issued all permits under the juris-
diction of the department, collected all fees, and made
commitments of moneys received to the Collector-
Treasurer. Cash receipts for 1965 amounted to S306,-
776.20, committed accounts $75,096.24, miscellaneous
$149,104.65, and deposit accounts $841,633.43, for a
grand total of $1,372,610.52.
Engineering Division
The Engineering Division is made up of four sections:
Administration; Planning and Programming; Survey;
and Design.
The Administrative Section under the supervision of
the head administrative clerk performed all duties of an
administrative nature relating to the processing and
maintenance of records pertaining to personnel, cor-
respondence, indexing, and filing.
This consisted of, in part, typing, proofreading, and
collating of stencils for contract books for all divisions
of the department, processing of municipal lien cer-
tificates, giving information to the general public,
preparation of the annual report, mimeographing all
work for all divisions of the department, and processing
and recording plot plans, numbering approximately
1,000, which were submitted to the Engineering Di-
vision. This year the assessments of betterments on
roadways, sidewalks, and sewers were performed by the
head administrative clerk, who also assisted the Di-
vision Engineer at Public Improvement Commission
meetings.
8 City Document No. 18
This section furnished engineers and surveyors with
street line information, bench marks, and plan informa-
tion concerning approximately 1,000 streets. This
section also furnished street line information on various
proposed projects, the Inner Belt, the Charlestown
Redevelopment Area, the Southwest Expressway, the
Charlestown Prison Land and Flats.
Approximately 200 requests for information from
lawyers and conveyancers were processed. On about
twenty occasions this required the City of Boston to
send an engineer to court in Suffolk, Middlesex, and
Norfolk Counties.
This section furnished information to the Law De-
partment, Building Department, School Department,
the Highway, Sewer, and Water Divisions of the Public
Works Department, the Boston Redevelopment Au-
thority, the Post Office Department, and the Real
Property Department.
Boundary Hne information between Boston and ad-
joining cities and towns was furnished to engineers as
well as harbor hnes.
This section also answered queries concerning the
history of city streets and other inquiries relative to
ownership and maintenance of bridges in various parts
of the city.
This section is also responsible for the operation of the
Reproduction and Photographic unit. This unit fur-
nished blueprints, ozalid prints, autopositives, and
photographs required by the Public Works Depart-
ment and all other city departments.
Planning and Programming Section: The Planning
and Programming Section prepared the highway, water,
and sewer programs for the Pubhc Works Department.
This section, with the support of the other sections of
the Engineering Division, performed services as directed
by the Pubhc Improvement Commission. These serv-
ices included, but were not limited to, engineering reports
for new street layouts, sewer and water engineering
reports as required in connection with petitions received
by the commission from contractors constructing new
developments where such utilities were not available,
and minimum pavement reports to advise the commis-
Public Works Department 9
sion whether contractors satisfactorily completed the
terms of their minimum pavement agreements with the
commission in order for the latter to vote on the return
of deposits.
In connection with the various programs, the section
maintained liaison with the Department of Public
Works, Commonwealth of Massachusetts; City of
Boston Traffic and Parking Department; Parks and
Recreation Department; Police Department; Fire De-
partment; Sewer, Water, and Highway Divisions, and
all pubhc utilities companies.
The section received the final prehminary plans for
the Boston extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike
during January and reviewed and coordinated them with
all other interested city departments and divisions and,
where applicable, with the Boston Redevelopment
Authority. Upon completion of the Boston extension,
"As Built" plans commenced to be received by this
section where they were recorded and distributed to the
appropriate divisions.
The Planning and Programming Section served as a
coordinator between the City of Boston Public Works
Department and the Boston Redevelopment Authority
and its consultants on matters of mutual interest regard-
ing the various renewal and redevelopment projects.
Pubhc utihty companies plans for proposed construc-
tion in city streets were reviewed by this section and
appropriate recommendations relative to approval were
made to the Division Engineer.
This section prepared written reports and letters for
the Commissioner's signature in answer to numerous
complaints received by the department relative to street
and sidewalk conditions.
In connection with the foregoing, the Planning and
Programming Section performed the following functions :
Field inspected streets where construction or recon-
struction would result in damages to abutting properties
and made estimates of the amount of damages.
Kept account records of engineering costs spent by
the City of Boston Engineering Division in renewal
projects for purposes of federal Non-Cash Grants-in-
Aid credits.
10 City Document No. 18
Completed final reports for state financing of street
reconstruction under the provisions of Chapters 782 and
822, General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts.
Scheduled field surveys for the Survej^ Section.

projects.
Design Section: The Design Section under the super-
vision of an associate civil engineer performed the
following work :
Prepared all plans, estimates, specifications, and con-
tract forms relating to the design and construction of
highway, bridge, sewer, and water facilities, in accord-
ance with departmental programs.
Prepared designs, plans, and specifications required in
connection with proposed structures and appurtenances
to be constructed by the operating divisons of the
department.

Department prior to the issuance of building permits to
determine if the same are approvable with regards to
grades and availabihty of sewer and water facilities.
Checked proposed construction over existing sewers,
to determine if same is structually sound and approvable.
Alade tracings of all survey plans, plots, street lay-
out plans, easement plans, assessment plans, etc.,
prepared by the survey section.
Prepared and traced various maps, plans, charts, etc.,
required for general purposes in the operation of this
department.
Public Works Department 11
Made estimates and preliminary plans for the Public
Improvement Commission relating to proposed sewer,
water, and street betterments.
Checked plans and specifications of and consulted with
various engineering firms regarding sewer, water, and
highway construction for the Government Center,
Prudential Center, Washington Park, MBTA extension,
Castle Square and New York Streets Projects.
The major accomplishments of the Design Section in
1965 consisted of completing the necessary designs, esti-
mates, construction plans, and specifications for thirty-
five public works contracts which were advertised in
1965, involving street construction and reconstruction
and sewer and water installations.
These contracts are listed descriptively hereinafter in
chronological order of advertising.
Work related to the foregoing included :

Park; Oakland Brook, Dorchester; Davenport Brook, Dor-
chester; Dent Street Brook, West Ptoxbury; Canterbury
Brook, West Roxbury; Sawmill Brook, West Roxbury;
Readville Brook, Hyde Park ; Pattens Cove, Dorchester.
12 City Document No. 18
Received plans and layouts of sewerage and water works in
7 Boston Redevelopment Authority redevelopment areas.
Received plans and layouts for various sections of South-
west Expressway, Inner Belt Expressway, and 1-93 Express-
way.
Survey Section: This section made twenty-two surveys
for the laying-out of 2.6 miles of public highways;
fourteen profiles for 1.78 miles of sewer construction;
thirteen profiles for highway construction; fourteen
reports for minimum pavement specificatigns for private
ways; eleven surveys for eminent domain takings for 1.44
miles of sewer and assessment purposes; six surveys for
the discontinuance of 0.3 miles of public highways; 246
plans and surveys for highway reconstruction of 41.65
miles of highways ; thirty-three engineering reports ; and
thirty-six miles of street reconstruction inspections.
This division carried on its normal activities, which
consisted of surveys, plans and contract documents for
street construction, reconstruction, sewer and water
projects, along with surveys and plans for widenings,
specific repairs, discontinuances, assessments, and spe-
cial surveys and plans for various other city depart-
ments. In addition to expected activities, the division,
with the direct assistance of consultants, became in-
creasingly involved with blossoming Boston Redevelop-
ment Authority activities in connection with urban
renewal.
By far the most active area of development was in
Washington Park, Roxbury, and following is a summary
of the activities in this area. Through our consultants,
Fay, Spofford and Thorndike, Inc., plans and contract
documents were prepared resulting in the awarding of
approximately $1,000,000 worth of street construction
and sewer and water installations. In addition, plans
and necessary Public Improvement Commission actions
were completed relative to new street layouts in BRA
development parcels along Humboldt Avenue, Wash-
ington Street, and within the Notre Dame Academy
area.
Street construction was essentially completed for
portions of Washington Park Boulevard and Humboldt
Public Works Department 13
Avenue and in streets related to the Marksdale II
Development area.
In the Government Center area most of the activities
consisted of studies and meetings with representatives
of the BRA, MBTA, and all of the major utility com-
panies, relative to properly- staging and relocating
utilities, laying out and setting grades for streets in the
Haymarket Square area, where the new subway exten-
sion caused many changes and man}- studies and meet-
ings relative to the Pemberton Square area and the
Adams Square-State Street-Cornhill area.
Designs and plans for required sewer and water in-
stallations for all Government Center work north of
Sudbury Street were nearly completed and are expected
to be advertised early in 1966.
In the Castle Square area, first section, sewer and
water contracts were prepared, awarded, and installa-
tions substantially completed. Plans for new street
work in this first section, bounded by Shawmut Avenue,
Dover, Tremont, and Herald Streets, were started with
the intention of completing for advertising in the spring
of 1966. In the second section, between Shawmut
Avenue and Washington Street, plans were drawn and
Public Improvement Commission action taken on the
discontinuances of several streets here preparatory to
new development.
In other sections, such as the Waterfront, South
Cove, South End, and Charlestown, preHminary con-
ferences were held relative to proposed layouts, changes,
street designs, discontinuances and expected problems,
all in preparation for 1966 detailed work to follow.
An attempt to cope with this greatly increased work
load has been made by hiring consultants to do the
engineering in most of these BRA renewal areas, and
this has helped tremendously, but providing the steady
long-range engineering accomplishments required in
the face of a continuing and increasing shortage of ex-
perienced, permanent personnel is becoming more and
more difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.
The personnel quota for this division has been estab-
lished at sixty. On January 1, 1965, the number of
14 City Document No. 18
permanent employees working was thirty-eight and bj'
year's end had increased to forty, but this, in so far as
permanent men is concerned, is still twenty less than the
quota of sixty, which is in itself very tight.
Some of this gap was filled in by employing temporary
employees. However, since most of these were in the
lower two engineering grades, requiring minimum tech-
nical know-how, the engineering help problem re-
mained far from satisfactor3\
With reference to the various public works engineer-
ing programs in which this division participates, the
following summarizes the extent of completed surveys,
plans, and contract documents for pubhc works which
were prepared by this division and advertised in 1965.

Highway Division
The Highway Division is comprised of three sections :
Construction, Maintenance, and Street Lighting. The
division supervises and performs all services incidental
to the construction and reconstruction of highways and
sidewalks; highway maintenance work, snow removal,
street cleaning, and catch-basin cleaning; the operation
and maintenance of bridges; and the installation and
maintenance of street lights.
The Construction Section supervised the construction
and reconstruction of 115 streets at contract prices of
$2,130,307.67, and expended $430,955.33 for repair and
operation of bridges. Chapter 90 projects completed
during the year were: Adams Street between Gallivan
Boulevard and MBTA bridge; Columbus Avenue be-
tween Sarsfield Street and Massachusetts Avenue; L
Public Works Department 15
Street between East Fourth Street and Columbia Road ;
East Broadway between M Street and Farragut Road;
West INIilton Street between Boston-Dedham line and
junction of jNIilton and Sprague Streets; Condor Street
between Brooks Street and intersection of Condor and
Eagle Streets ; Dana Avenue between Washington Street
and Centre Street ; Boylston Street between Washington
Street and Centre Street; Pond Street between East
Cottage Street and Columbia Road; Pleasant Street
between Hancock Street and East Cottage Street;
Hancock Street between Bowdoin Street and Dor-
chester Avenue; East Cottage Street between Edward
Everett Square and Pleasant Street; and Savin Hill
Avenue between a point 200 feet west of Dorchester
Avenue and Pleasant Street, at a total cost of $743,204.
The Maintenance Section performed sidewalk and
roadway repairs on and cleaned 760 miles of streets;
cleaned 4,500 catch basins; maintained and operated 7
drawbridges and S3 inland bridges.
The Street Lighting Section ordered the installation
of 1,874 3,500-lumen lamps in 361 streets; 754 7,000-
lumen lamps in fifty-eight streets; 234 11,000-lumen
lamps in twelve streets; and 281 20,000-lumen lamps in
thirteen streets. In addition the section ordered the
installation of lighting units on the city-owned street
lights as follows: 168 7,000-lumen lamps in twenty
streets; and 256 20,000-lumen lamps in twenty-three
streets.
Accelerated Highway Program
During the legislative session of 1965 the Public
Works Department sponsored and urged the passage of
legislation to bring about a more equitable distribution
of funds collected in the Commonwealth's Highway Fund
for the benefit of the cities and towns. Chapter >90 and
Chapter 81 of the General Laws discriminates against the
cities and larger towns in favor of the small towns. The
legislature enacted Chapter 679 of the Acts of 1965, by
which Boston was granted $2,530,208.82 by the Com^-
monwealth, of which $2,280,208.00 was made available
for the construction and reconstruction of highways.
16 City Document Xo. 18
West Fourth Street Bridge
On July 21, 1965, a serious fire entirely destroyed the
Xo. 6 span of the West Fourth Street Bridge, with dam-
ages estimated at 8130,000. Construction of this bridge
Avas by authority of Chapter 428 of the Acts of 1890,
with costs apportioned at 65 percent to the railroad,
25 percent to the Commonwealth, and 10 percent to the
City of Boston. Said Chapter 428, as amended in 1892
and 1893, provided in Section 6, "After the completion
of the work, the crossing and its approaches shall be
maintained and kept in repair as follows: when the
pubhc way crosses the railroad by an overhead bridge,
the framework of the bridge and its abutments shall be
maintained and kept in repair by the railroad company^
and the surface of the bridge and its approaches shall
be maintained and kept in repair by the town or city
in which the same are situated." Whether the replacing
of span Xo. 6 of this bridge is in the nature of a repair
or a rebuilding is in dispute, and is being adjudicated
by the Law Department.
Sxow Removal
Total snowfall for the year 1965 amounted to 40.8
inches. In January 22.2 inches of snow fell in four
storms, vrith snowfalls of 6.9 inches, 3.6 inches, 3.1
inches, and 3.0 inches. Xone were blizzards. February
produced one storm, with a fall of 1.9 inches and a total
of 4.7 inches. The total snowfall in IVIarch amounted to
9.7 inches, with three storms with snowfalls of 3.7
inches, 3.3 inches, and 1.2 inches. April produced 1.6
inches of snow. Xo snow fell in Xovember, and although
2.6 inches fell in December all snowfalls were in amounts
of less than one inch. Snow removal costs amounted to
$828,852.
Saxitary Division
The Sanitary Division is comprised of three sections:
Administration, Collection, and Disposal.
AdTfiinistration Section
Program 1 — Administration
The activities of the Administration Section com-
prised the supervising of the various functions and
Public Works Department 17
operations of the division, the preparing of all con-
tracts, the processing of pa^'ments, the processing of
reports, correspondence, violation notices and com-
plaints (complaints were written, telephoned, and in
person), and compilation of inspectors' reports and
daily reports on the Collection and Disposal Sections'
performances, investigating and processing applications
for permits for the transportation of refuse, the prep-
aration of the budget, and the supervision of the Snow
Emergency Center.
On July 1, 1965, Division Engineer John F. Flaherty
took a leave of absence from the Sanitary Division when
he was appointed bj' ^layor John F. Collins to the
position of Commissioner of PubUc Works. Starting
as a rodman in the Transit Department, ]Mr. Flaherty
was successively promoted to the highest of engineering
ratings, that of Division Engineer and Deputy Com-
missioner, and he now has accepted the challenge of
heading one of the largest and most important depart-
ments in the entire state.
On July 1, 1965, replacing ^Ir. Flaherty, Principal
Civil Engineer Leon F. Vignaux, in charge of the Col-
lection Section of the division, was temporarily pro-
moted to Division Engineer. Mr. Charles T. Dinneen,
a career municipal engineer, having extensive experience
with the Transit Department and with the Sewer and
Highway Divisions of the PubHc Works Department,
took over the duties of directing the activities of the
Collection Section.
During the year the clerical personnel in the office
changed considerably. The transfers of ]\liss Claire
Murphy and ]\Irs. Ellen Pumphret to other depart-
ments after conscientious service will be felt by the
division; their positions were filled with provisional
employees.
Collection Section
Program 2 — Refuse Collection Contracts
The city decided to exercise its first option in accord-
ance with Article 17 of the pubUcly advertised refuse
collection contracts, which provided for renewal of con-
tracts, effective April 1, 1965. Contracts were renewed
18 City Document No. 18
with the same refuse collection contractors. Under
these contracts, the city absorbed 75 percent of the
10-cent per hour increase granted to the drivers and the
helpers since April 1, 1965. This increased payment
to the contractors cost approximately $25,968 for the
remainder of the year. The total expenditure for refuse
collection contracts amounted to $2,442,260. A total
of 261,602 tons of refuse was collected and disposed
of during the year.
Multiple and continued complaints from household-
ers, civic organizations, and elected officials during 1964
and early 1965 concerning an insufficient number of
collections in the Back Bay and South End areas of
District IB-Boston Proper — resulted in a change on
May 1, 1965, from a previous 5-day collection week to a
6-day week. An amendment to the contract increased
the weekly contract sum by $327.11 for the extra services
rendered.
Program 3 — Alley Cleaning
The alley cleaning program in the South End and
Lower Roxbury districts was continued, with a mini-
mum amount of complaints during the year. Ap-
proximately 5,900 tons of debris and garbage was
removed from the alleys during 1965.
Program 4 — Litter Baskets
The number of sidewalk-type baskets used in the
downtown district was reduced from ninety-seven to
fifty, and the policy still continues to remove from ser-
vice this type of container from the city streets. The
large litter basket appears to be an invitation to some
inconsiderate individuals who dispose of their household
garbage in them as they leave the subways on their way
to work. Fifty additional large baskets were tem-
porarily placed in the downtown retail area to provide
for the extra pedestrian fitter generated during the
crowded shopping conditions prior to Christmas. Over
900 pole-type baskets are installed throughout the city
in locations where there are accumulations of pedestrian
litter.
Public Works Department 19
All baskets are emptied by the refuse collection con-
tractors on Mondays except in the Boston Proper dis-
trict where they are emptied on the regular collection
da3's. A departmental night litter basket detail using
three packer-type trucks empties every basket nightly,
Tuesday through Saturday. This crew is under the
supervision of an inspector who also directs the pick-
ups of dead animals.
A study will be made to consider an increase in pole-
type installations during the year 1966.
Program 5 — Market Cleaning
Under this program the division provides two packer-
type trucks on Fridays and Saturdays servicing push-
cart peddlers and storekeepers in the market area in the
vicinity of Blackstone Street, removing approximately
2,270 tons of refuse during the year and depositing it at
the South Bay Incinerator.
Program 6 — Ahandoiied Vehicles
The removal and disposal of abandoned vehicles from
the streets and vacant lots throughout the city was a
continuing operation. Bids were taken for a new
contract starting April 1, 1965, and, since the first three
bidders were not satisfactorily qualified, all bids were
rejected, and the department negotiated with the J & L
Iron Company, the then current contractor, to dispose
of approximately 3,200 vehicles at a cost reduced from
$6 to $4.95 per car, the lowest bidder's price.
A temporary easement has been taken by the state
for the construction of a new culvert at the rear of our
property at Albany Street. This easement narrows the
space available to the J & L Iron Company for the
cutting up of derelict cars, and it was apparent that we
should move this work to another location. Application
to the Board of Appeal for a variance of zoning for the
use of Calf Pasture was turned down, and the depart-
ment, through the Commissioner, applied for use of
state-owned land on Atkinson Street in the vicinity of
South Bay Incinerator to continue this project.
20 City Document No. 18
Program 7 — Enforcement and Education
The uniformed Sanitation Inspectors Section was
brought up to full strength by the permanent appoint-
ment of seven new inspectors. Viola'tion notices were
served to 8,356 property owners or householders vio-
lating sanitary laws, particularly in the manner of
placing refuse out for collection. This resulted in house-
holders providing hundreds of new barrels throughout
the city and reduced appreciably the littering on streets.
To supplement the work of the inspectors and to obtain
the cooperation of residents, we conducted our principal
antilitter campaign during the month of May. A new
slogan, "Stop Littering," along with a photograph of
one of our sanitation inspectors in uniform, was the
basis of a new design prepared by an advertising agency
to pubhcize our campaign. Signs were posted on the
sides of all equipment, decals were placed on all litter
baskets, car cards and posters were placed on MBTA
equipment and subway stations free of charge; and
seventy-five large billboards were contributed by the
Donnelly Advertising Company to the campaign. The
division is grateful to many civic organizations who
cooperated in the cleanup of vacant lots. The division
issued a $2,000 service order to a refuse contractor who
placed large thirty-cubic-yard containers when and
where directed, and then picked up the boxes after they
were filled with debris from the lots by volunteer mem-
bers of the civic organization.
New legislation now permits the Commissioner of
Public Works to designate the departmental personnel
to be given police powers to enforce the antilitter statutes
and ordinances. Through the courtesy of the Boston
Police Department fifteen sanitation inspectors were
given the necessary training required in this work; and
during the year 1966 these men will be sworn in by
the Police Commissioner as "Special Police."
Disposal Section
Program 8 — South Bay Incinerator
The South Bay incinerator received and disposed of a
total of 151,890 tons of refuse during the year.
Public Works Department 21
Maintenance work performed under contract is listed
below as follows:
(1) Grates renewed and repaired in No. 4 furnace.
(2) Miscellaneous welding and piping throughout the plant.
(3) Renewed shafts on hydraulic rams.
(4) Brake shoes replaced on cranes.
(5) Repairs to charging gates and water cooled damper.
(6) Refractory repairs were relatively minor and far under
our estimate for the year; however, it is predicted that
our luck in this respect in 1965 will not continue very
far into 1966, and before the close of 1965 refractory
work on No. 1 furnace was scheduled to begin.
Plant personnel continued making most of the minor
routine emergency maintenance on grates, hydraulic
lines, machinery, cranes, and electrical repairs, etc.
Changes in relay operations recommended by West-
inghouse engineers apparently reduced greatly the
epidemic of burnouts of crane motors, and only one
motor broke down which required rewinding.
Steam was transmitted to the Boston City Hospital
from January through the month of March, but major
alterations to the hospital boiler room required the shut
down of this operation. No further steam was trans-
mitted during the remainder of the year,
A contract was awarded for the installation of a new
ventilating system resulting in improving greatly the
condition of the air at the plant.
The incinerator residue continues to be transported
by a private trucking contractor to the Gardner Street
dump where it is being utilized in the initial cover of the
refuse.
Program 9 — Gardner Street Du7np
A total of 97,144 tons of rubbish was received and
disposed of at the dump during the year.
Starting in July and continuing throughout the year,
the dump was operated as a sanitary land fill. The
demands and recommendations of the State Department
of Public Health was thus put into effect, and our
method of operation has received their approval. Cover
material at the site is very limited and, therefore, a con-
tract for supplying run of the ban,k gravel was awarded
22 City Document No. 18
by the purchasing agent to Sylvester A. Ray. It is
estimated that this operation will increase costs by over
$100,000 annually, but the resulting reductions in fires,
and rodent and vermin nuisances, should result in better
relations between the West Roxbury residents and the
department.
Bids were taken on the new proposed metal garage
and office building in November, and award was made
to Brooks Skinner Steel Building Company. The
building will be erected on a reinforced concrete slab
laid on the roof of the old filter beds. Departmental
personnel constructed this slab at a savings to the city.
Judging by the present rate of dumping, Gardner
Street has only a few years of hfe; therefore immediate
action on the construction of a second incinerator is
recommended, or the city will find itself without a refuse
disposal facility.
Program 10 — Saugus Dump Rental
Prior to April 1, 1965, the department offered the
M. DeMatteo Construction Company, the owner and
operator of the Saugus dump, a renewal of their contract
to accept the refuse from the East Boston District on
the same terms and conditions of their previous contract.
An excessively high increase of $29,600 was demanded
by the DeMatteo Construction firm for a renewal, and
continuous negotiations through June 12, 1965, failed
to reach agreement between the operators of the dump
and the city. On Monday, June 14, 1965, refuse col-
lection trucks were turned away from the Saugus dump,
and the burnable refuse from East Boston was taken to
South Bay incinerator and nonburnables were hauled to
Gardner Street dump. Since the incinerator could not
handle this additional load, it was necessary to divert
at least two days' refuse collection per week in the
Dorchester (South) district to the Gardner Street dump.
On July 16, 1965, negotiations were resumed and a
contract was signed for the period of one year at the
price of $3,500 per month. The division then re-
sumed dumping the East Boston refuse at Saugus.
Public Works Department 23
Personnel In-Service Training Program
During the year 1965, the Division Engineer and
section heads took a 15-week course entitled "The
Human Side of Managing." The head administrative
clerk took a course in "Personnel ]\Ianagement" ; and the
clerical force took various courses, namely, tj^ping,
shorthand, and secretarial.
Snow Removal
The Snow Emergency Center finished its fourth
season of operation at the Civil Defense office located in
the Fire Department Headquarters building in the
spring of 1965 under the direction of Division Engineer
and Deputy Commissioner John F. Flaherty as chair-
man. Subsequent to the elevation of Air. Flaherty to the
position of Commissioner of Pubhc Works, this unit was
placed under the immediate direction of Sewer Division
Engineer and the new Deputy Commissioner Edward
G. A. Powers for the winter season of 1965-66. Sanitary
Division personnel continued to be the backbone of the
operating functions of the center. Although there were
several sanding storms in December of 1965, no major
snowstorms occurred during the month, and the center
was not activated again until January of 1966.
Sewer Division
The Sewer Division, with 105 employees (fifteen less
than the 120 employees in the 1965 quota), is divided
into three sections, viz.. Administrative, Maintenance,
and Construction, under the direction of a Division
Engineer.
The Administrative Section consists of the Division
Engineer and a clerical force of three employees. This
section is responsible for preparing budgetary requests;
maintenance of time records of employees; presenting
receiving notices and warrants for service orders and
purchase requirements to the Central Office of the
department for processing; all correspondence received
in and emanating from the division; processing of esti-
mates for payment on contract work; keeping records
24 City Document No. 18
pertaining to the Sewerage Works Loan Account; and
furnishing information relative to department poUcy as
determined by directives, orders, and ordinances.
The Maintenance Section, numbering eighty-six em-
ployees, under the direction of an Associate Engineer, is
charged with cleaning sewers and sewer appurtenances;
answering and investigating complaints; maintaining
and repairing sewers; inspecting the laying of drains;
operation of pumping stations and disposal plant;
recording complaints ; recording sewer inspections ; keep-
ing record plans of the entire sewerage system; and
furnishing information to the pubHc.
The Construction Section, numbering fifteen em-
ployees, under the direction of an Associate Engineer is
responsible for the entire building operations of sewerage
works under contracts, from the field layouts through the
final inspections, and furnishing record plans of work for
the sectional plans maintained by the Maintenance
Section.
New equipment acquired by this division in 1965
consisted of two 3-inch Homehte pumps; one Meyers
sewer cleaning machine; and four 1961 dump trucks
assigned to the Sewer Division from the Highway
Division.
The division constructed 21,937 hnear feet of sewers
and surface drains by contract and day labor in 1965,
and 2,613 linear feet were constructed by private parties
under release agreements, plus 16,509 linear feet in
urban renewal areas for a grand total of 41,059 Hnear
feet, or 7.71 miles. The division received and investi-
gated 3,390 complaints; freed and/or repaired 1,033
catch basins, repaired twenty-three sewers ; cleaned 2.42
miles of sewers; inspected 557 drain construction or
repairs; reported on 5,671 municipal liens; and inspected
the seaHng of 340 drains from demolished buildings.
Comprehensive Program of Sewerage Revitalization
Under date of February 10, 1965, the department
reported to the City Council, through his Honor the
Mayor, on the effect the Metropolitan District Commis-
sion's Deer Island sewage treatment plant will have on
Public Works Departivient 25
the present sewerage system, and more particularly
what steps were being taken to modernize the sewerage
system in the City of Boston. That body was apprised
at that time of the stark reahty that the Boston main
drainage system was obsolete, and portions of the
sj^stem were in imminent danger of collapse. To rebuild
the entire system was thought to cost sums varying
from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000. That report sug-
gested that an engineering examination of the system
would show that large portions of the system could be
repaired or revitahzed more cheaply than rebuilding.
A ten- or twenty-year construction program will prob-
ably be required to fully accomplish the revitalization
program.
At a meeting of the City Council held on July 26,
1965, a resolution was passed authorizing the Mayor to
apply to the federal government for an interest free
loan in the sum of $240,000, under Public Law 560, 83rd
Congress, as amended.
Under date of July 29, 1965, your Honor formally
applied for a planning advance from the Housing and
Home Finance Agency in the amount of $240,000, as
an interest free loan.
The three problem areas set forth in the application
were: Area I. The Boston main interceptor within
this area is of eight to ten feet diameter and is in need
of major repairs or replacement throughout its entire
length of 10,000 hnear feet. This sewer was constructed
between 1879 and 1883. It was laid in a marsh, part of
which is now Massachusetts Avenue, with beds of
marsh mud extending 20 to 86 feet in depth. A |-mile
section consists of a wooden shell of 4-inch spruce planks
spiked together and lined with 4-inch brick or concrete
masonry. The interceptor is as much as 36 feet below
the ground surface.
There were two serious collapses within the last
three years which involved hundreds of thousands of
dollars in repair costs. The structure is in poor con-
dition, and total collapse may result in closing Boston
Harbor to shell fishing and recreational use. Area II.
Within this area the east side interceptor (14,000 feet
26 City Document No. 18
in length) becomes overloaded, and replacement or re-
lief is needed. This interceptor, constructed wholly
on the combined system of drainage discharges, mingled
sewage and storm water in Fort Point Channel and the
inner harbor in minor rainfalls. Area III. This area is
on the southerly side of South Boston extending from
Castle Island to the Dorchester line. The shores are
utihzed for bathing beaches, serving as many as 1,500,000
persons on a single summer day. The locus is ideal for
small craft boating. The South Boston interceptor,
designed and operated on the combined system of
drainage, is laid just inland from the beaches, and seven
sewer overflows discharge mingled sewage and storm
water into the bathing water during storms of minor
intensity. It now appears possible to correct this in-
tolerable condition by the construction of a marginal
conduit with a pumping station with discharge into deep
water.
It is anticipated that the application will receive
favorable consideration early in 1966.
Water Division
The Water Division is composed of three sections,
Construction, Maintenance, and Revenue, and provides
for the construction, replacement, expansion, mainte-
nance, and repair of water mains, supply lines, meters,
hydrants, and various appurtenances, meter reading,
and assessing charges to consumers.
The Construction Section furnished the engineering
and inspection force supervising the laying and relaying
of 3.88 miles of water pipes varying in size from 4 inches
to 12 inches in diameter. One hundred and seventeen
new hydrants were installed, ninety-seven hydrants
changed, and sixty-nine hydrants abandoned, making a
net increase of forty-eight hydrants.
The Maintenance Section supplied official information
in reference to hydraulic problems, main pipe and
service pipe locations, processing applications for new
or enlarged domestic and fire services, keeping of rec-
ords, plans, pressure charts, and general supervision of
the three Water Division yards.
Public Works Department 27
Area Yards
Area No. 1, 710 Albany Street, Boston, services Charles-
town, City Proper, East Boston, and Roxbury.
Area No. 2, 327 Forest Hills Street, Jamaica Plain, services
Jamaica Plain, Brighton, West Roxbury, and Hyde Park.
Area No. 3, 160 Hancock Street, Dorchester, services
Dorchester and South Boston.
These yards are responsible for the repair and main-
tenance of main pipes, service and fire pipes, hj'drants,
gates, and providing emergency and general service to
the public. The main yard at 710 Albany Street main-
tains emergency- crews around the clock for any water
service that may be required in any section of the city.
The main yard and the two area yards were assisted
by three contractors. The contractual work consisted
of excavation and backfilHng to allow Water Division
employees to repair leaks, lay or relay water services,
change hydrants, and repair or replace defective ap-
purtenances. This contractual work was performed in a
satisfactory manner and is of value in providing service
to the pubHc.
Revenue Section
The processing of all functions in relation to the
revenue from water supply and service is the responsi-
bihty of this office. These functions include the pro-
cessing of apphcations for new services and fire pipes,
the reading of 95,000 meters quarterly and /or semi-
annually, requesting the testing, installation, or removal
of meters, and the handling of complaints or inquiries
concerning charges rendered for water and sewer use
charges. Revenue collected by the Water Division in
1965 amounted to $9,285,064.14.
The Water Division's Business Office processes and
resolves all petitions for abatement, including those
petitions for abatement of the sewer use charge, when
said charge is directly related to water consumption.
Sewer use charge petitions, when of a technical nature,
are resolved by the Sewer Division.
The Metropolitan District Commission's water as-
sessment for 1965 amounted to $5,252,777.04 for
43,775,142,000 gallons at a rate of $120 per million
gallons.
28 City Document No. 18
The Water Division is a distribution system supply-
ing potable water for domestic and commercial use and
the extinguishment of fires. Its source of supply is from
the Metropolitan District Commission, which agency
maintains reservoirs in the valley of the Swift River
known as Quabbin Reservoir with a capacity of 415,000,-
000,000 gallons; Wachusetts Reservoir in the valley
of the South Nashua River at Clinton with a capacity
of 67,000,000,000 gallons; and the Old Sudbury Reser-
voir in the valley of the North Sudbury River as a
standby in case of emergency. It is felt that a safe
yield from the watershed of these three sources is
330,000,000 gallons per day. The present daily demand
on the M.D.C. is 96,000,000 gallons per day.
The Drought
During the extended drought of the past several years
the water users of the metropolitan water districts had
continued normal w-ater use, secure in the knowledge
of the tremendous volume of water stored in the reser-
voirs. This complacency of the public was not shared
by water supply engineers. In 1962 the engineering
report to the M.D.C. Study Commission (Senate 760)
stated: "There is a need to strengthen the distribution
system in the metropolitan district. While the average
daily consumption of water is below the safe yield of the
present sources of supply, the capacity of parts of the
distribution system is not adequate to meet the needs of
the district, especially during periods of high demand
caused by high temperatures or extended drought."
On August 10, 1965, the Department of Public Health
declared that an emergency existed, and that restric-
tions be imposed by the local communities. On August
11, 1965, the MiD.C. advised the city of the situation
and recommended member communities ban the use of
water for lawn sprinkling, washing of motor vehicles,
unrecirculating air conditioning equipment, swimming
pools, bathing pools and fountains. On August 12,
1965, I formally declared a ban on such uses, and in-
formed the water users by advertisements in all the
Boston papers. The public response and compliance
Public Works Department 29
with the ban was remarkable. In no instance was it
necessary to invoke the drastic powers granted the
Commissioner during times of emergency.
Although the effects of the drought was felt in Boston,
in isolated instances, by drops in pressure, these com-
plaints were not general. They were, however, straws
in the wind. It is doubtful if adequate quantities of
water are available in certain sections of the city to
extinguish a fire of major proportions. To alleviate the
potentiality, the department let two contracts to
cement-line water mains to strengthen water supply in
key areas. The first contract called for the cleaning and
cement-lining of water mains in West Roxbury district.
The scope involved 1,010 linear feet of 12-inch cast-
iron pipe; 12,000 linear feet of 16-inch cast-iron pipe;
4,850 linear feet of 20-inch cast-iron pipe; and 12,850
linear feet of 24-inch cast-iron pipe at a contract price of
$135,559.50. The second contract called for the same
type of work in the Roxbury District. The scope in-
volved 6,200 linear feet of 12-inch cast-iron pipe and
3,390 linear feet of 6-inch cast-iron pipe at a contract
price of 186,200.50.
Of equal importance is the same type of work to
strengthen the Roxbury, South Boston supply by clean-
ing and cement-lining the 24-inch and 30-inch mains
from Roxbury Crossing to Andrew Square.
Comprehensive Water Distribution Survey
Recognizing the potential hazards from insufficient
supply of water in times of serious conflagrations,
your Honor introduced a resolution in the City Council
authorizing you to apply to the Housing and Home
Finance Agency for an interest free loan for a complete
evaluation of the requirements of the Boston water
system. This resolution was passed on July 26, 1965,
and approved on July 29, 1965, and formal application
was made in the amount of $175,000 on the same day.
It is expected that favorable consideration will be made
early in 1966. Upon completion of this study a long-
range program of rehabilitation can be scientifically
formulated.

Fiscal
The cost of operating the Public Works Department
for the year 1965 amounted to $28,772,789, of which
$5,364,088.56 was for Metropolitan Water Assessment
and a total Metropohtan Sewer Assessment of $1,822,-
287.79, of which $101,426.28 was for a 1964 under-
estimate. Snow Removal expenses amounted to
$803,980 and produced a net deficit of $359,732. The
amount of money available in the Sidewalk Loan on
January 1, 1965, was $758,750; $33,135 was expended
and $79,109 in unliquidated encumbrances, with
$646,506 available in 1966. The amount of money
available in the Bridge Loan on January 1, 1965, was
$1,929,520, with expenditures of $203,669 and $60,438
in unUquidated encumbrances, with $1,665,413 avail-
able in 1966. The amount of money available in the
Sewerage Loan on January 1, 1965, amounted to
$1,699,562, to which was added $16,052 as revenue re-
ceived. Expenditures amounted to $698,171 and
$418,679 in unliquidated encumbrances, with $598,764
available in 1966. The amount of money available in
the Public Ways Loan on January 1, 1965, was $2,829,-
015. A 1965 appropriation of $2,000,000 plus revenue
received of $443,893 made the amount available $5,272,-
908. Expenditures amounted to $2,860,088 and
$2,192,131 in unliquidated encumbrances, with $220,-
689 available in 1966. Funds available from Accel-
erated Highway Funds are as follows: Chapter 782 of
1962, amount available on January 1, 1965, amounted
to $216,796. Expenditures amounted to $179,470 with
$34,140 unliquidated encumbrances, with $3,186 avail-
able in 1966. Chapter 822 of 1963, amount available
on January 1, 1965, amounted to $648,541. Expendi-
tures amounted to $561,960 with unliquidated en-
cumbrances of $52,928, with $33,653 available in 1966.
Chapter 679 of 1965, amount available $2,280,208 ip

Summary
The Public Improvement Commission continued to
play an active role in connection with the pubhc high-
ways for the New Boston. In fact, very few major
projects or new developments were without P.I.C. action
or attention.
Normally this Commission is concerned mainly with
routine pubhc works such as street, sewer, and water
easements ; aw;ard of damages and the levying of better-
ment assessments therefor ; issuance of permits for street
light poles; signs and other encroachments; eminent
domain takings for other city departments.
Today the administrative and clerical workload is
increasing steadily to keep pace with the Boston Re-
development Authority's program and private develop-
ments which have been mushrooming all over the city.
Public Works Department 57
For example, the entire Castle Square area was re-
designed necessitating the discontinuance of many exist-
ing pubUc streets and the laying out of new ones. The
same was true in the Washington Park area; in the so-
called Academy Homes site; and Government Center
complex.
Significantly, the two most important thoroughfares
of the New Boston were partly laid out this year; one
in the heart of Washington Park, called ''Washington
Park Boulevard," and the other in the heart of the
Government Center complex, called, ''New Congress
street." Historically, both of these new pubHc high-
ways will be the widest in the City of Boston with the
exception of Commonwealth avenue.
In order to conform with the restored, Bulfinch-
designed St. Stephen's Church in the North End, the
Hues of Hanover and Clark streets were revised.
Likewise, in order to make way for the New Boston's
skyscraper, commonly referred to as "Parcel 8," this
Commission discontinued a portion of Devonshire street
in downtown Boston.
In anticipation of the new street design and new
M.B.T.A. station, this Commission discontinued the
underground pedestrian walk in Haymarket square.
Adherence to changes in the law concerning payment
of damages in connection with street improvements and
eminent domain takings required the preparation of
damage awards simultaneously with the order of taking
and, when said orders were recorded in the Registry of
Deeds, drafts for payment were processed.
In conclusion, it should be noted here that on June 30,
1965, Mr. James W. Haley retired as Commissioner of
Public Works and Chairman of the Public Improvement
Commission after thirty-four years of service; Mr.
John F. Flaherty was appointed the new Commis-
sioner, and on July 2 became the Chairman of the Public
Improvement Commission.
58 City Document No. 18
Although no definite action was taken during this
year, the attention of this Commission was focused on
several future projects, such as South Cove, South End,
West End, Christian Science Complex, Waterfront, and
Southwest Expressway. Prehminary plans were re-
viewed and discussed.
