1896.
Hon. Josiah Quincy,
Mayor of the City of Boston :
Sir : In compliance with the Revised Ordinances, the
annual report of the operations and expenses of the Street
Department for the year 1895 is herewith respectfully
submitted.
Organization.
The work of the department during the past year has been
carried on under the same organization that was effected
when the consolidated department was created in 1891, with
the exception that, as recommended in the last report of the
department, a Street-Watering Division has been established,
and the work of street watering, formerly carried on by the
Paving Division, with a foreman in charge, now devolves
upon the Deputy Superintendent of this division.
By the provisions of Chapter 449 of the Acts of 1895,
the Ferry Department, on July 1, 1895, became a part
of the Street Department, and was on that date organized
as the Ferry Division.
The several divisions of the department are as follows :
The Central Office.
Bridge Division. •
Boston and Cambridge Bridges.
Ferry Division.
Paving Division.
Sanitary Division.
Sewer Division.
Street-Cleaning Division.
Street- Watering Division.
Each of the above divisions, with the exception of the
Central Office Division and the Boston and Cambridge
Bridges, is in charge of a Deputy Superintendent.
2 City Document No. 29
The Boston and Cambridge Bridges are managed by two
commissioners, the Superintendent of Streets being the com-
missioner for the city of Boston, the other commissioner
being appointed by the Mayor of the city of Cambridge.
Much confusion has in past years resulted from the fact
that the district lines were differently drawn in the several
divisions, while the work of one division in a district often
required the cooperation of another ; the openings made by
a foreman of the Sewer Division, in a district, require the
attention of the paving foreman, and in the central portion
of the city, the district foreman of paving assists the district
foreman of the street cleaning in times of storm. Formerly
the district of one division overlapped and included portions
of several districts of another division.
The organization has been much improved, the work sim-
plified, and cooperation made more easy by the rearrangement
of the city into new Street Department districts which are
the same for all divisions, the order for which was issued as
follows :

(Signed) B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets.
The result anticipated has been fully realized, and espe-
cially has this been demonstrated in the Street-Cleaning
Division, whose district lines most sadly needed alteration,
having been practically unchanged since their first establish-
ment by Superintendent Forristall, of the old Health De-
partment. Economy of operation and increased efficiency
resulted from the change, and the consequent reorganiza-
tion, as is shown in the report of the Deputy Superintend-
ent (Appendix F) ; the average cost of cleaning streets per
mile, exclusive of supervision, last year, under old system,
was $12.57 ; this year, under new organization, $11.80 ; the
average cost, inclusive of supervision, yard and stable
expenses, etc., last year, $15.61; this year, after reorgani-
zation, $14.40, showing saving of $0.77 per mile in actual
work of cleaning, and an additional saving of $0.44 per
mile in supervision.
Increased efficiency of the administrative force of the
Sewer Division has been obtained by the removal of the
offices to the Probate Building, Court square. Previous to
this the Deputy Superintendent, clerks, and permit office
of the Sewer Division were in City Hall, Room 44, the chief
engineer, district engineers, and draughtsmen in six small
dimly lighted rooms in a wooden addition in the rear of No.
14 Beacon street ; here all the working and many record
plans were necessarily kept, and much time consumed in
travel over nearly one-quarter of a mile intervening between
these offices and City Hall, plans for immediate reference
being required by the Superintendent many times daily.
Had fire swept these offices, the loss to the city would have
been immeasurable. The office of the Street-Watering
Division and of the Permit Office of the Paving Division
were in the Old Court-House, and this separation of the
two permit offices of the department in different buildings
made needless confusion and annoyance for the public. By
the occupancy of the Probate Building, a fire-proof structure
of four stories, which was entirely renovated, the entire
Sewer Division offices were consolidated upon the three
upper floors, much-needed room and light acquired for
draughting, and proper fire-proof storage given for plans.
Upon the lower floor were located the permit office of the
Street Department. 5
Paving- Division and the Street-Watering Division, and this
building being entirely occupied by offices of the Street
Department, was connected with the general office of the
Superintendent of Streets in City Hall by an iron covered
bridge, bringing them, to all intents and purposes, under
the roof of City Hall and within the personal reach of the
Superintendent. Events have proved that had it not been
for this consolidation of forces and increased working space,
it would have been impossible to have carried on the engi-
neering and administration of the vast amount of sewer
construction undertaken this year.
Purchasing.
Early in the year a change was inaugurated in the methods
and forms of purchasing supplies for the departments, the
office of Purchasing Agent was abolished and the Superin-
tendent became personally responsible, as he should be, in
all matters of expense charged to the appropriation of this
department ; these methods resulted in reducing the amounts
purchased by deputies, foremen, and others to a minimum.
New forms of duplicate bills were introduced ; before a bill
is now passed for payment the signature has been obtained
of the foreman who received the goods, of the chief clerk of
the division ordering, of the Deputy Superintendent, the
purchasing clerk, and the Superintendent of Streets.
Responsibility for the order, receipt, quality, and price is
therefore fully fixed. The results obtained are made appar-
ent by a comparison of the percentages of the total annual
expenditure paid for bills and for labor last year and this,
showing a saving of some 6J per cent, in bills, which con-
sequently gave opportunity for an increased percentage of
expenditure in labor upon the streets ; a part of this saving
has been so expended and the balance of the appropriation,
$24,822.37, has been returned to the city treasury.
Yards and Stables.
In South Boston, the stables, yards, and offices of the Pav-
ing, Street-Cleaning, and Sanitary divisions are upon leased
property, the Sewer Division yard and Paving wharf are upon
city property included in the limits of the Strandway, which
must soon be vacated, and the Bridge Division is obliged to
rent a stable and has no fit accommodations for office and
storehouse. A piece of land with wharf privileges should be
purchased and buildings for the use of these four divisions
erected upon it.
In East Boston, the quarters of the Paving and Sewer
6 City Document No. 29.
divisions on city land are inadequate and unsatisfactory and
the buildings must soon be rebuilt ; the city owns no wharf
privilege, although in the district all supplies of paving and
crushed stone must reach it by water ; there is no yard for
the Sanitary and Street-Cleaning divisions ; the collection of
ashes and offal therefore must be done by contract, and the
Charlestown street-cleaning force journeys to East Boston
in order to give it an aspect of cleanliness twice a week.
These conditions should be changed and a location provided
on the water-front for these four divisions, with suitable build-
ings for each.
The Back Bay district has in its yard no stable accommo-
dations except for the driving-horse of the foreman, and con-
sequently all teams here employed are hired ; sufficient room
should be provided to give stabling to the minimum number
of horses required.
Attention is also called to the entirely inadequate quarters
at the Main and Intercepting Sewer yard on Massachusetts
avenue, near Albany street. Negotiations were opened dur-
ing the year for the purchase of the buildings of the New
England Construction Company, on the city land at Gibson
street, Dorchester, for this purpose, but were not satisfac-
torily terminated.
The city should and could economically maintain a suffi-
cient force of horses to do its entire work at the periods of
ordinary demand, and the hiring of teams should be elimi-
nated as far as possible, and a certain and considerable saving
would then accrue to the city.
But the accommodations are at present insufficient, and
no money is available for additions either to stable or stock ;
the maintenance appropriation, which is the only one avail-
able, being severely taxed to replace with sufficient rapidity
the horses who outlive their usefulness or become injured in
the city's employ. Additional stables and stock of 75
horses in the different divisions are required, and would
result in an annual saving of about $150 per single team
(horse and man), besides giving employment to an equal
number of citizens. A better service would be obtained than
of the under-paid alien in charge of the hired horse of none
too active character.
Stony Brook.
The question of the relation of Stony brook to the exten-
sion of Columbus avenue and the raising of the tracks of the
Providence Division of the N. Y., N.^H., & H. K.R. Co.
was quite fully discussed in last year's report ; and as the
result of the studies made at that time it was decided, for
Street Department. 7
the reasons therein set forth, to locate the channel proposed
by the Stony Brook Commission of 1886 within the lines of
the avenue, and to build it between the existing portion
of the same channel which now ends at the Inlet Chamber
and the section of improved channel built during the year
by the N. Y., N. H., & H. R.R. Co. from near Ritchie street
to 400 feet south of Boylston street, as a part of the con-
struction of the avenue, and it has been so ordered by the
Street Commissioners in their order of construction of the
avenue.
The necessity for extending the Commissioner's channel
down to meet that now .ending at the Inlet Chamber is
clearly shown by the photograph inserted in this report,
showing the arch of the channel nearly submerged, and the
channel entirely inaccessible for cleaning out or the removal
of obstructions, accumulations of lumber, rubbish, etc.
The scheme discussed for building a low level sewer, in
connection with this channel, for those portions of West Rox-
bury which cannot be sewered by extensions of the existing
system of sewers has also been adopted, and a portion of it
2,092.5 feet long has been built on the haunch of the arch of the
channel built last season by the N. Y., N. EL, &H. R.R. Co.,
and the bill for the same has been paid by the city. Another
portion of the low level sewer has been built in Tremont
street, between the Roxbury Crossing and Texas street, the
sewer being built inside of the existing 7 feet X 7 feet channel
of Stony brook, and paid for by the abutter, as a part of the
cost of diverting the brook around his premises. Plans are
in progress for the construction of those sections of Columbus
avenue between the Roxbury Crossing and Ritchie street, in
which the Stony- brook channel and the West Roxbury low
level sewer form a part of the system.
This channel, carrying the sewer, should be built in advance
of any other work of construction on this part of the avenue,
because it requires the deepest excavation ; its construction
should certainly precede the laying of any large water-mains.
As a portion of, or possibly the entire present course of,
the brook between the Inlet Chamber and the land of the High-
land Foundry Company will probably have to be followed in
building the new channel, and as this location is parallel and
adjoining that of the Providence Division, this portion of
the channel should be built before the railroad company
begins to build its retaining-wall for raising its tracks, which
will be begun by midsummer.
The discussion in last year's report upon the route to be
followed in building the new channel from the corner of Pyn-
chon street (or Columbus avenue) and Centre street to Amory
8 City Document No. 29.
street, and thence to connect with the northerly end of the
new channel just built by the N. Y., N. H., & H. R.R. Co.,
proceeded upon the assumption that the present location of
the brook would be followed, and the cost of building the
connecting link between the last-mentioned portion of the
new channel and the portion to be built in Columbus avenue,
ending near Ritchie street, was included in the estimate of
cost, but this portion was not included in the order of con-
struction by the Board of Street Commissioners. But now,
on account of the removal of buildings and additional takings
made by the railroad company at the corner of Centre and
Amory streets, a shorter route may be found by following
Centre street from its present intersection with Pynchon
street to the easterly side of the railroad location, thence
along the easterly side of this location to the northerly end-
of the channel, as already built by the railroad company.
This route is about 250 feet shorter than the present route
of the brook, which would represent a saving of about
$20,000, based upon the figures of the Commission of 1886,
and would probably result in a larger saving, as a large
amount of ledoe, and also the handling of the water of the
brook during construction, would be avoided ; this last con-
sideration is one which would be highly appreciated by con-
tractors. This portion of the channel should not be built
until the grade of Centre street has been lowered by the
railroad company in order to carry it under their proposed
bridge, but should be done immediately after and before
Centre street is resurfaced.
An additional reason for promptness is that the old channel
between Centre and Ritchie streets cannot be filled in (and
Columbus avenue cannot therefore be finished) until the new
channel is completed.
The question as presented in last year's discussion is still
an open one as to the adoption of means by which water
shall be furnished to the Boston Belting Company, if a settle-
ment of their claim to the water of the brook is not made.
Such a settlement seemed probable in the latter part of the
year, the Mayor being authorized by the City Council to make
such arrangements as it was hoped would relieve the city of
one complication of the Stony-brook problem, which has
vexed it for so many years ; but no agreement seems to have
been reached.
The building of an auxiliary channel from the farthest point
up stream of the low-grade channel as improved, has, how-
ever, been abandoned, and the water of the brook must be fur-
nished, if at all, either by the erecting of a movable dam or the
setting up of a pumping plant at the present Inlet Chamber.
Street Department. 9
The question of the treatment of Stony brook at one other
point has arisen during the year ; namely, at the Washington-
street crossing of \he N. Y., N. H., & H. E.R. near Forest
Hills Station, occasioned by the proposed construction of the
bridge abutments at this point necessary for the raising of
the tracks of this railroad.
Two alternatives presented themselves : either to construct
a section of the improved low-grade channel at this point,
forming another pocket and settling basin, which a continua-
tion of the improvement would not reach for many years,
or to abandon this location, since after the construction of
the abutments no excavation for such a purpose could safely
be made between them. It was found that the construction
of the section would be very expensive and difficult even at
this time, and it was therefore decided that a preferable ex-
pedient would be to construct the conduit when future needs
required, by extending it upon the easterly side of the rail-
road upon a taking to be made for that purpose, either within
or without the railroad location, to a point at which it might
cross under the proposed embankment of the railroad to join
the existing channel upon the other side. This arrangement
not only obviated the necessity of present outlay, for no im-
mediate advantage, but the new location will undoubtedly avoid
a pocket of quicksand existing near the present crossing, and
result in far more economical construction without material
increase in the length.
The consent of the railroad by its chief engineer has been
obtained to the crossing of its right of way with this channel,
" provided the city will agree to bear all the expense, when the
conduit is constructed, in protecting the company's tracks,"
etc. — a usual and satisfactory condition.
"The Boulevards."
The four avenues, Blue Hill, Columbus, Huntington, and
Commonwealth extension, which have come to be popularly
known as "The Boulevards," have required a large amount
of engineering, draughting, and supervision, and that portion
upon which construction has been ordered by the Street Com-
missioners has been divided for purposes of reference and
contract into 38 sections ; these include the whole of the
proposed avenues except that portion of Blue Hill avenue,
from Walk Hill street to Milton line, which crosses the
N. Y. & N. E. K.R., and upon which construction will not
be ordered until the grade-crossing problem is solved at
this point.
Contracts, forty-two in number, have been let as required
10 City Document No. 29.
by law, and work corcmienced either upon sewer construction
or grading, in some cases both, upon every one of these 38
sections, except four on Columbus avenue lying between Rox-
bury Crossing and Centre-street bridge, for which distance
the avenue is laid out over the existing Pynchon street.
Because of the fact that the operations of the N". Y., 1ST.
H., & H. R.R. in raising its tracks between these points
might inconvenience public travel, it seemed unwise to
disturb the paved surface of the street and thus increase the
burden upon heavy traffic in this vicinity, while either end
of the avenue required such extensive work and was
so far from completion. It is in these four sections, more-
over, that Stony brook must go, and much additional time
was required for the completion of the plans and the work-
ing out of details. There seems to be now no good
reason why operations should not commence in the early
spring upon the important work of these sections, which in-
cludes the provision for- Stony brook before referred to.
In connection with the construction of these avenues, the
West End Street Railroad Company has agreed, because of
the privilege of location, to loam the entire width of all the
reserved spaces to a depth of eight inches, at its sole cost
and expense.
Commonwealth Avenue.
Work upon that portion of Commonwealth avenue which
many years ago was laid out under the general law, has been
continued during the year. Early in the season the short
portion of the southerly roadway between Beacon street and
Cottage Farm at the bridge remaining uncompleted was
graded, and the roadway opened to travel.
The widening of the bridge has been commenced. From
the bridge to Brighton avenue the southerly roadway will be
used as a speedway, and this is entirely subgraded, edge-
stones set, and gutters paved and partly gravelled with loose
material for this purpose ; a few days only of good weather
will serve to complete it. The portion of the northerly
roadway between the bridge and St. Paul street has been
graded, curbing set, and gutters paved and constructed of
Telford macadam, completing this section of the work.
Beyond the intersection of Brighton avenue the character
of the avenue changes, having no loamed reservation for
street railway, but a wide central roadway instead, with
winding side-roads on either hand. The westerly roadway
has been graded, and a Telford road, with paved barrel-gut-
ters, has been constructed to Warren street ; a portion of it
requires binding and rolling only. The easterly roadway
I- -o
O -5?

Street Department. 11
has been subgraded to Warren street, and constructed from
Brighton avenue to Harvard avenue, with Telford macadam
and paved barrel-gutters.
A balance of $87,227.88 remains unexpended of an appro-
priation of $170,000, which it was estimated would complete
the avenue to Warren street, and which appears to be more
than amply sufficient. The surplus may be used to coutinue
the work beyond Warren street.
The principal features of the work of the year may be
summarized as follows :
Paving with granite blocks, and regulating 35 streets, or
parts of streets, in various districts.
Construction of Telford macadam roadways on Common-
wealth avenue, from Cottage-Farm bridge to Warren street ;
on Talbot avenue, from Wells avenue to Washington street,
and on Harvard avenue, Norway street, Parker street, and
St. Germain street.
Construction of sewers and grading upon Blue. Hill, Co-
lumbus, Commonwealth extension, Huntington, and Brigh-
ton avenues.
Constructing three other macadam streets, under Chapter
323 of the Acts of 1891, and commencing eight others.
Setting 51,669 linear feet of new edgestone, and laying
20,632 square yards of new brick sidewalks, and 12,295
square yards of new granolithic sidewalks, besides resetting
and regulating 113,806 linear feet of edgestone, and relaying
72,360 square yards of brick sidewalk.
Increasing our asphalt pavements by 17,933 square yards.
The completion of Chelsea-street bridge ; the rebuilding of
Chelsea, north, with new steel retractile draw ; the extension
of the pier and widening of Cottage-Farm bridge, and the
construction of Gold-street bridge.
Building over 33 miles of sewers and 570 catch- basins and
drop inlets, repairing 561 and cleaning 6,509 catch-basins,
removing therefrom about 18,264 cubic yards of filthy
material.
Cleaning about 11,419 miles of streets, removing 122,544
loads of dirt.
Sprinkling 338.13 miles of streets during the season.
Collecting and removing 336,886 loads of house-dirt and
ashes.
Collecting and removing 51,327 loads of house-oifal.
During the year, work has been completed upon streets,
five in number, previously laid out and commenced under
Chapter 323 of 1891, etc., and work has been commenced
and prosecuted upon eleven others, upon which construction
12 City Document No. 29.
has been ordered ; one only, Audubon road, has not been
begun, as the date of the order (Nov. 7, 1895) made it im-
practicable .
The work begun last year upon Boylston-street extension
has also been prosecuted.
The report of the Executive Engineer, which follows,
alludes to the work of the Central Office, and includes a state-
ment of the general finances of the department, with appro-
priations and expenditure from loans for special work,
together with a valuable table of prices that obtained upon
a contract basis.
Attention is also called to the general work of the divi-
sions, under the special division headings following.
In addition to this report, seven appendices are herewith

During the year ending February 1, 1896, 122 applications
were made upon the Civil Service Commission for 428
employees of various grades, and 671 names were submitted
by them, of which number 442 were given employment in
the several divisions ; of the 442 persons employed, 36 were
appointed provisionally (Civil Service, Rule 36), 5 were
given non-competitive examinations, 2 promoted, and 93
were veterans.
During the year 131 persons were transferred to this
department from other city departments ; making a total of

BRIDGE DIVISION
The total number of bridges in Boston in the care of the
Bridge Division, not including culverts, is one hundred and
thirteen. Thirty-four of these are wholly supported by rail-
road corporations. Four — Harvard, Canal, Prison-Point,
and West Boston bridges — all connecting Cambridge, are in
the care of two commissioners, one appointed by the City of
Cambridge, the Superintendent of Streets being the Boston
Commissioner, ex-officio. The remainder, seventy- five in
number, are supported, wholly or in part, by the City of
Boston, and are in the care of this division, including
twenty-three tide-water bridges, with draws, alone requiring
for their operation seventy draw-tenders, assistant draw-
tenders, and engineers. A complete and systematic record
of the openings of the draw bridges, giving numbers and
time of openings and other data, appears in Appendix A.
The following table shows the amounts expended from the
maintenance appropriation of the Bridge Division for the
past five (5) years :

119,716 00
There has not been an accident or a break-down incon-
veniencing public travel during the year. Charles-river
bridge was closed to public travel from June 19 to Aug. 1,
while extensive repairs, under the direction of the City Engi-
neer, were made, and Mystic-river bridge, over that river
and the B. & M. R.R. tracks, which has been closed to public
travel during all of the "year previous to Jan. 1, '96, while in
process of building, has been reopened to the public. Some-
thing has been done toward modifying the smoke and hot-
cinder nuisance, so very disagreeable to pedestrians, and
often so disastrous to horses and vehicles on Broadway and
the Dartmouth-street bridges, by the erection of a shield on
either side of both these bridges, which has thus far given
most satisfactory results. Broadway bridge, because of its
very large span, has always been very dark at night until
Street Department. 61
this year. In cooperation with the Lamp Department, a large
electric light has been placed in the exact centre of the draw
by a device which works perfectly, permitting the opening
of the draw without disconnecting the electric current, light-
ing up not only the roadway, but the waterway as well, and
proving a great convenience to navigation.
Attention is again called to the necessity of proper head-
quarters for the South District of this division, which is still
located on Foundry street, in a small building which has to
suffice as an office and storehouse, the stable and storehouse
of the district having been entirely destroyed by the
strengthening of Broadway Bridge nearly two years ago.
A portion of a stable, situated some distance away, was leased
as temporary quarters and has been occupied ever since.
Proper accommodations are badly needed in order that sup-
plies may be purchased in quantity and arrangement made
to properly protect them and check their delivery, as well
as for stable purposes.
Of the bridges of greater importance but two are now
operated by band-power — Maiden and Mount Washington-
avenue — and one, Meridian-street, by horse-power ; rather
primitive methods for these advanced times, and it is expedi-
ent that these be added to the list of those now operated by
electric motors, of which there are three — Chelsea North,
Dover, and Federal street bridges; The others use steam,
but experience indicates electricity to be the best from every
standpoint. The cost of coal for engines is a very consider-
able item in the expense of the division, while the cost of
electricity is very trifling; the cost of repairs on engines far
exceeds that on motors. There is the further consideration
of space and cleanliness, all favorable to the motor. After
making some inquiries, and investigation with reference to
Warren bridge, it appears that complete electric power could
be installed there for about $2,000. The boilers and engines
could be sold, and a saving of about $700 per annum made
on coal, and something additional saved on repairs, indicating
a mistaken economy in retaining the engines.
One bridge has been added to those in the care of the
division — a temporary foot-bridge over the N. Y., N. H., &
H. R..R.. at Roxbury Crossing, erected during the year at a
cost of $981, charged to the maintenance account.
Constructive work in the Bridge Division, for which money
is provided by loan, has been of unusual proportions during
the past year. The rebuilding of Chelsea-street bridge, com-
menced last year, has been completed, and in addition to the
work done by the B. & M. R.E., at Chelsea bridge, the draw
over the North channel has been entirely rebuilt. Charles

river-bridge draw pier has been remodelled and rebuilt.
Gold-street bridge abutments and iron superstruction have
been completed, and Cottage Farm bridge is in process of
construction.
The amount of expenditures for permanent improvements
from loans provided, has been as follows during the last five
(5) years :

The following statement of the City Engineer contains the
main features of the special work of construction assigned to
him by this department for engineering supervision :
City of Boston, Engineering Department,
50 City Hall, January 31, 1896.
Mr. B. T. Wheeler, Superintendent of Streets:
Sir : I herewith submit the following report of the work
done under my direction for the Bridge Division of the
Street Department during the year 1895.
The following are the principal items of work done :
Charles-river Bridge. — A contract was made June 14,
1895, with J. N. Hayes & Co., for repairing the draw and
draw foundation. The cost of the entire work was $4,259 .51.
Chelsea Bridge North. — May 23', 1895, a contract was
made with Augustus Bellevue & Co. to rebuild the draw
foundation, about fifty-four feet of bridge, and the wharf,
and to lengthen the up-stream pier fifty feet, and the down-
stream pier sixty feet ; under another contract the same firm
rebuilt the wood-work of the bridge above the piles for a
length of fifty-three feet. The draw has been replaced by a
new steel draw of the retractile style, built by the Penn
Bridge Company of Beaver Falls, Penn. ; it is operated by
electricity, the motor being furnished by the General Elec-
tric Company ; the draw has been in use since December 28,
1895. The total cost of the work charged to this appopria-
tion to February 1, 1896, was $33,827.'91.
Chelsea-street Bridge. — As mentioned in the last annual
report, the pile structure was rebuilt by B. F. Nay & Co.,
and the steel draw was built by the Boston Bridge Works.
The bridge was opened to team-travel February 26, 1895.
The cost of the contract-work on the pile bridge was
Street Department. 63
$15,241.53; on the steel draw, $8,450. The sheathing of
the bridge and draw was done by the Bridge Division.
Cottage Farm Bridge (over the Boston <& Albany Rail-
road) . — During the past year the following work has been
done on the northerly section of the bridge : The middle pier
has been extended 210 feet 6 inches, and the parapets on the
abutments set by David S. Crockett & Co., the stone for
the parapets being furnished by the Cape Ann Granite Com-
pany ; two steel girders have been built and set in position by
the Boston Bridge Works ; 20-inch steel beams have been
furnished by Page, Newell, & Co., but are not yet in place ;
and hollow bricks and skewbacks have been furnished by
the Boston Fire Proof Company.
Gold-street Bridge. — Under an order from the Street
Department, dated May 13, 1895, plans and specifications
were prepared for a bridge over the tracks of the New York
& New England Railroad at Gold street.
A contract for the abutments was made with Frank H.
Blaisdell, dated June 11, 1895, for the sum of $1,850,
and subsequently an agreement was made with him for
building two short return- walls at the ends of the west abut-
ment. Work was begun July 1 and completed about Jan-
uary 1. The total amount paid under these two agreements
was $2,333.45.
A contract was made with the Boston Bridge Works, dated
June 11, 1895, for the superstructure of the bridge, for the
sum of $1,570, and the work was completed January 20, 1896.
This department was also requested to see that the work
of raising the building on the northerly side of Gold street,
adjoining the east abutment, was carried out in accordance
with an agreement made by the Street Department with F.
H. Blaisdell, dated September 18, 1895. This work was
finished early in January, satisfactory to the Building Depart-
ment, and a final estimate made January 24, 1896, for the
sum of $2,082.37.
West Newton-street Bulkhead. — A timber bulkhead was
built across the end of West Newton street abutting on the
line of the Boston & Albany Railroad, under a contract
with A. Bellevue & Co., for the sum of $344.
Temporary Foot-bridge at Roxbury Grossing. — A wooden
foot-bridge was built over the tracks of the New York, New
Haven, & Hartford Railroad at Roxbury Crossing, on Tre-
mont street, under a contract with Josiah Shaw, dated June
11, 1895, at a cost of $981.
Yours respectfully,
[Signed] William Jackson,
City Engineer.

BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE BRIDGES.
Canal or Craigie's Bridge.
The sidewalk on the south side of the Cambridge end
should have been rebuilt this year ; but not having sufficient
appropriation to do the work in a thorough manner, it has
been temporarily repaired. It will be necessary to rebuild
it next year.
The piles on the Cambridge end have been in place about
100 years. They are now very much decayed on the upper
part where the salt water does not reach them. The piles in
four bents have been pieced out and new hard-pine girders
and trusses have been firmly bolted to them.
The current repairs have been made, such as painting and
sheathing the draw', cleaning roadway and sidewalks ; and
repairs on boiler and machinery to move the draw.
The above work has been attended to by the men on the
bridge. The roadway of the bridge has been watered with
salt water.,
Harvard Bridge.
The roadway has been replanked for the entire length of
the bridge with 2-inch spruce plank, costing $1,519.41 for
each city.
It will be necessary to do this work every year.
The West End Street Railway Company replanked the
space between their tracks with 3-inch spruce, which makes
a much smoother surface for travel than the 2-inch plank
did which was formerly there.
The asphalt sidewalks are in poor condition and are to be
relaid next summer by the contractors, at theii expense, in
accordance with the terms of the contracts, which require
them to keep the sidewalks in good repair for five years.
The iron-work on this bridge is in bad condition from
rust. It will have to be painted in 1896.
The men employed on the bridge have done all the clean-
ing without extra cost to the two cities. They also clean all
the lamps and make all small repairs.
Prison-Point Bridge.
The draw on this bridge is in very bad condition. It is
almost impossible to raise it. It is not proposed to expend
66 City Document No. 29.
much money on the bridge at the present time, as the grade
crossing of the Boston & Maine Railroad at this point is to
be abolished. A commission has been appointed, and the
proposed changes include a new highway bridge and draw
built at a higher grade. It is expected that the work will
be completed within three years.
Current repairs have been attended to, such as planking
and sheathing draw, etc.
West Boston Bridge.
In October a portion of the bridge near the draw on the
Cambridge side commenced settling. It was found that the
piles in three bents, or sections, had settled about five inches
and were still going down. Twelve new piles were driven :
five in one section, four in another, and three in another.
The work was done from the top of the bridge, taking one
side at a time, by placing a scow on the outside of the
bridge with an engine on it with the pile-driver on the
bridge. The work was done without interruption to travel,
and without frightening horses, as would have been done if
the engine/had been placed on the bridge in the usual
manner, v
After driving the piles from above, the work was finished
under the bridge by bolting extra girder caps to the piles
that were driven. Sixty-six braces, 3 X 12 spruce, 20 and
25 feet long, we^e firmly secured to piles distributed in dif-
ferent bents, •v^-^
The wheel-guard on both sides of the draw, the entire
length, has been renewed with hard pine-timber. On the
side of the wheel-guard, an iron plate 4 inches wide
£ inches thick, has been bolted to the timber for the whole
length of the draw to protect the wood-work and to keep
teams from injuring the draw.
The bridge is very weak in places. It has to bear a great
strain when the ice is breaking up in the spring. Next year
it will need a thorough repairing, and possibly more piles
will have to be driven.
When this bridge was rebuilt it was not expected there
would be such an amount of travel over it as there is at
the present time, especially such heavy teaming and such
heavy electric cars. The spaces between bents of piles are
18 and 19 feet, and they should be not more than 16 feet.
The men on the bridge do the ordinary repairs, looking
after the cleaning, keep the machinery for moving the draw
in good condition, their engine-house clean, and do all paint-
ing 1 of wood and iron work on the draw and house.
Street Department.

The roadway of the bridge has been watered with salt
water.
The West End Street Railway Company relaid their track
the entire length of the bridge in October, and, in so doing,
relaid the paving on the sides of the rails in a satisfactory
manner.
In General.
The usual statement is appended of the number of draw
openings and the number of vessels which passed through,
also table showing the traffic over bridges in September.
The amount of revenue received for rents, dockage,
repairs to West End Street Railway Company's tracks, etc.,
during the year, has been $2,303.70, one-half, $1,151.85, has
been paid to each city.

FERRY DIVISION.
On July 1, 1895, the Ferry Department was consoli-
dated with the Street Department, and has been operated
since that time as the Ferry Division, with a Deputy Super-
intendent in charge. Of the seven ferry-boats belonging to
the division, six are in active use each week-day : three at
the North and three at the South Ferry ; one is kept as a
spare boat; three are used on Sundays — two at the North
and one at the South Ferry.
The following table shows the amount expended for main-
tenance by the Ferry Division for the last five (5) years :
1891 (13 months)
1892

$216,867 81
211,567 19
213,746 76
212,988 13
209,911 30
The boats of the division are from twenty-five to five years
of age, and while their condition is good, each one of them
having been thoroughly overhauled and painted during the
past year, they should unquestionably lie taken out, stripped,
calked, and coppered, as some of them have not been out
of the water for nine years. One of them, the "Ben Frank-
lin," has been built up twelve (12) inches, in order to fit the
drops, and the "East Boston," although five years old, has
been first put in commission this year.
The head-house at the South Ferry, East Boston side, is
not a credit to the city, especially as to its sanitary arrange-
ments, which have been complained of by the Board of
Health ; and the coal-shed at this place is old, and its fall is
not unlikely at any time.
The improvement in the service and equipment since
May 1, 1895, the cost of which has been charged to mainten-
ance, may be here referred to. A third boat has been oper-
ated at the North Ferry, as it had been apparent for some
time that it was necessary for the proper service of the pub-
lic, and it has been run every day except Sundays, from 7
A.M. to 7 P.M., entailing an additional expenditure from
maintenance of some $8,000.
The spare dock on the South Ferry, East Boston side, has
been dredged at an expense of $600. This dock is used to

haul off boats that are to undergo repairs, and there was so
little water in it at low tide that the boats rested on the bot-
tom. One of the boats ("East Boston") was never in this
dock, as it was unsafe to put her in there, and she always
had to be laid at an outside wharf.
Passenger supplementary drops have been put in on South
Ferry on both sides, same as at North Ferry, at a cost of
about $1,200. These were needed very badly, and should
have been put in years ago, as their absence has undoubtedly
been the cause of many accidents and subsequent payment of
damage.
Another improvement was the running of the second boat at
North Ferry at night, until 12 o'clock. Forme rly it stopped
at 11 o'clock, thereby discommoding hundreds of people.
By order of United States Steamboat Inspectors, the life-
boats have been removed from over the wheel-houses to for-
ward end of canopies on all of the boats, and a skiff, with
water-tight compartments, has been put on each end of can-
opies on ladies' side, so now each boat is equipped with a
life-boat and two skiff's. These have cost about $700.
The drops and piers at both ferries have been equipped
with electric lights, superseding the old-fashioned lanterns
and gas. This is one of the greatest improvements that could
have been made at small expense, and it has proved an un-
qualified success.
During the year a pass system has been introduced on the
ferries, principally for the purpose of obtaining an account
of the number of teams and foot-passengers carried free, but
also to restrict as far as possible the unwarranted free use of
the boats. Return is now made by gatemen and collectors,
of travel of this class, amounting to 2,406 teams in seven
months, and 13,077 foot-passengers in three months, the
time during which this method has been in operation.
The constructive work, which is paid for from loans pro-
vided for permanent improvements, has not been large during
the year ; the remodelling of the " East Boston " has been com-
pleted, and a new drop constructed for the South Ferry and
put in place.
The amount of expenditure from loans provided for per-
manent improvements during the last five (5) years has
been as follows :
1891 (13 months) .

72 City Document No. 29.
The following statement of the City Engineer contains the
main features of the special work of construction assigned to
him by this department for engineering supervision :
City of Boston, Engineering Department,
50 City Hall, January 31, 1895.
Mr. B. T. Wheeler, Superintendent of Streets:
Sir : I herewith submit the following report of the work
done under my direction for the Ferry Division of the
Street Department during the year 1894.
North Ferry Pier. — March 27, 1895, a contract was made
with W. H. Ellis & Co., for extending the middle pier at
the East Boston side of the North Ferry. The pier was ex-
tended 30 feet at a cost for contract work of $1,775.60.
New Drop. — A contract was made by the Superintendent
of Ferries, June 20, 1895, with William McKie, to build
a new ferry drop to replace the old one at the southerly side
of the Boston landing of the South Ferry for $5,611. The
old drop was delivered to the Ferry Division, its machinery
being removed to the new drop, and the necessary changes
of the foundation and landing being made.
Yours Repectfully,
[Signed] William Jackson,
City Engineer.
An increase in the receipts of this year over last, results
from an increase of foot-passengers .carried of 648,469, and
of teams, 30,270, and amounts to $14,084.66.
Details of expenditure, income, and table of travel will
be found in Appendix B.

80 City Document No. 29.
The following statement of the City Engineer contains the
main features of the special work of construction assigned to
him by this department for engineering supervision :
City of Boston, Engineering Department,
50 City Hall, January 81, 1896.
Mr. B. T. Wheeler, Superintendent of Streets:
Sir : I herewith submit the following report of the work
done under my direction for the Paving Division of the
Street Department during the year 1895.
The work done is similar to that heretofore, with the
addition of a large amount of work upon the five main ave-
nues, the construction of which was authorized by the Leg-
islature of 1895, Chapters 268 and 334, referring back to
Chapter 323 of the Acts of 1891 ; namely, Blue Hill avenue,
Columbus-avenue extension, Huntington avenue, Common-
wealth-avenue extension, and Brighton avenue. These acts
require the construction of sewers, gas, and water pipes in
each avenue, with house connections for all abutting lots.
The construction of these, together with other miscellaneous
structures, such as water-main pipes, underground wires,
and surface drains, intended to forestall the necessity for
breaking up the surface of the finished street, require a large
amount of labor to be performed before the surfacing of
the street can be commenced.
In these avenues, a very large amount of this preliminary
work has been done. Early in the year estimates were
made of the cost of construction of these avenues, exclusive
of sewers and land damages, upon a definite plan, and such
rough grading as could be done in advance of. sewer con-
struction was commenced then as fast as the sewer construc-
tion was completed ; contracts were made for grading. The
work of grading has been in progress during the winter, and
with a single exception, all the rough grading contemplated
at present is under contract and should be completed by
June 1, 1896. The exception referred to consists of about
20,000 cubic yards of surplus material on Blue Hill avenue
opposite Franklin park. A part of this material can be
used to supply a deficiency in Columbus avenue, and it is
probable that the remainder can be used for contemplated
improvements in the near vicinity.
Blue Hill Avenue.
The portion of the avenue laid out under the act com-
mences at Washington street or Grove Hall, and follows the
course of the old Blue Hill avenue to the Neponset river at

o
Street Department. 81
Mattapan, a distance of 2.86 miles, nearly in a straight line.
The part between Washington and Walk Hill streets, a dis-
tance of 2.21 miles, has been ordered to be constructed.
The part under construction borders on Franklin Park for a
distance of 2,670 feet, and Franklin Field, a distance of 1,340
feet. It is 120 feet wide throughout, and will be built for the
greater part of its length with two roadways, each 32.5
feet wide, a central reservation 25 feet wide for street-cars,
and two sidewalks, each 15 feet wide. The sidewalk will
have a loamed space 5 feet in width next the roadway, and
the central reservation will be loamed and grassed.
In front of Franklin Park this construction will be varied
and provision made for easy access to the park. The road-
ways are to be built of Telford macadam, with paved
o-utters, but with ed«;estone from Washington street to the
circle at Talbot avenue only. Ten contracts for rough grad-
ing have been made, seven of which are not completed at
this date. One of these contracts includes the road con-
struction opposite the main entrance to Franklin Park, and
calls for completion of this section by August 1, 1896.
Provision has been made for saving all stone suitable for
use in constructing roadways, but a large part of the rock
excavated is of such inferior quality as to be only suitable
for filling. The estimated quantities of grading to be done
under these contracts, and the corresponding cost of doing
the work, is as follows :
Earth excavation . . 100,796.77 cubic yards.
Hock excavation . . 28,600 cubic yards.
The average prices to be paid are as follows :
Earth excavation . . $0,356 per cubic yard.
Rock excavation . . 1.023 per cubic yard.
The total amount paid to contractors for work done to
February 1, 1896, is $18,663.35.
Columbus Avenue Extension.
This avenue extends from Northampton street to Frank
lin Park, by the way of Poxbury Crossing, along Pynchon to
Centre street, then through vacant land to and across Wash-
ington street and by way of Seaver street to Franklin Park, —
a total distance of 2.21 miles. It is generally 80 feet wide,
and is to be built without a special reservation for a street
railway. The section between Poxbury Crossing and Hog
bridge is about 3,105 feet in length and includes the pres-
82 City Document No. 29.
ent and prospective site of Stony brook ; the improvement
of the brook will necessarily precede the construction of the
road, and, with the exception of the removal of the buildings,
filling cellars, etc., no work has been or can he done at
present. It is intended to pave this section with granite
blocks. From Roxbuiy Crossing to the old part of the
avenue, the roadway will be of asphalt. From Centre street
to the park the roadway will be of Telford macadam. The
only work done by this department has been the rough grading
between Washington and Centre streets. A considerable
part of the avenue will be in readiness for road-making on
the opening of the working season, and with the exception of
the Pynchon street sec! ion the work will be practically
finished during 1896.
Huntington Avenue.
This avenue extends from Cople}^ square, along the line of
the old avenue to Tremont street, and thence follows the
former location of Tremont street to the Brookline line, at
the Parkway, a distance of 2.25 miles. From Copley square
to Massachusetts avenue, a distance of 3,240 feet, the boun-
dary lines are unchanged, but the avenue will be rebuilt with
a reserved space 25 feet wide for street cars, two roadways,
paved with granite blocks, each 25 feet wide, and two side-
walks, paved with bricks, each 12^ feet wide. From Mass-
achusetts avenue to Tremont street, a distance of 1.15 miles,
the avenue is widened to 100 feet, laid out in the same man-
ner and built with Telford macadam roadways and gravel
sidewalks. The part of Tremont street renamed Huntington
avenue, 2,563 feet in length, has been widened to a general
width of 80 feet. In this section there will be no reservation
for street-cars. Roadways will be built of Telford macadam,
and the sidewalks, which will be 13 feet wide, will be built
of gravel. The preliminary underground work is well ad-
vanced on this avenue, and it is expected that the surfacing
can be begun early in the- season. The work done by this
department was the resetting of the edgestones and the reg-
ulating of. the sidewalks on the northerly side, between
Copley square and Massachusetts avenue, and the depositing
of about 10,000 cubic yards of filling between Gainsborough
street and Long wood avenue. This will not complete the
tilling between these points, and the balance of about 15,000
cubic yards will be supplied from the surplus on the remain-
ing parts of the avenue. The gravel filling referred to is
being furnished for $0.79f per cubic yard, and the work will
be completed in February, 1896.
Street Department. 83
Brighton Avenue.
This avenue extends from Commonwealth avenue to Union
square, Allston, a length of 0.67 miles. It is 100 feet wide,
and will be built with a central reservation 25 feet in width
for a street railway, two roadways, the northerly one 30 feet
wide and the southerly one 25 feet wide, and two sidewalks
each 10 feet wide. The roadways are to be built of Telford
macadam .
Preliminary underground work is well advanced and the
surfacing is under contract, conditioned to be completed on
September 1, 1896. Amount paid to contractors for grading,
t<> February 1, 1896, is $2,467.63.
Commonwealth Avenue Extension.
Commonwealth avenue has been extended from Chestnut
Hill avenue, Brighton, to the Newton line, there connecting
with the Newton boulevard; the extension is 0.71 mile in
length and 120 feet in width. It is to be built with a central
reservation 25 feet in width for a street railway, two road-
ways, the northerly one 25 feet wide and the southerly one
40 feet wide, and the two sidewalks each 15 feet wide. The
roadways are to be built of Telford macadam. Four con-
tracts for rough, grading have been let, one of which is still
unfinished. A large quantity of excellent stone for road
construction has been found, and there will be a considerable
surplus of stone and of loam available for other avenues.
Trap rock of excellent quality is now being delivered at the
city stone-crusher near by, and is being crushed and piled
for future use. Eleven thousand one hundred and fifty cubic
yards of surplus filling has been delivered on the adjoining
section of Commonwealth avenue. The rough grading,
including rock excavation, will be completed early in the
season, and it is expected that the underground work can be
completed in time to allow of the entire completion of the
avenue during 1896. The total amount of earth excavation
is estimated at 35,732 cubic yards, and of rock excavation
at 9,200 cubic yards. Earth excavated and delivered within
three-quarters of a mile has cost an average of $0,284 per
cubic yard; earth delivered on the adjoining section of
Commonwealth avenue, hauled about one mile, has cost
$0,228 extra per cubic yard for hauling. Rock excavation,
including breaking, hauling, and piling, has cost an average
of $1.30 per cubic yard measured in the cut. The total sum
paid to the contractors for grading, to February 1, 1896, is
$14,070.79.
The table showing lengths and areas of paving on accepted
84 City Document No. 29.
streets has been carefully revised and compared with the
list of streets in Boston, published by the Street Commis-
sioners. As has been before stated, there is and can be no
complete and authoritative list of public streets in Boston.
The older streets have become public in many instances
without record, and frequently the status of streets and alley-
ways has been questioned in the interest of abutters. The
manuscript list in this office, and from which the table has
been made, is as nearly complete as it can be made at this
date. In this connection it should be stated that 3,600
square yards of asphalt pavement, commenced (the concrete
base only being laid) in 1894 and completed in 1895, have
been credited to 1894 in the tables.
Block-stone pavement has been laid with concrete 6 inches
thick with a cushion coat of sand about 1 ^-inches thick.
The material used for filling joints, adopted by the Street
Department, was pebbles and Portland cement grout. The
cement grout has been mixed with sand in varying quantities
for experimental purposes. The proportion of one part cement
to one-fourth part of fine house sand was found to give the
best results, and was adopted for most of the work done.
The quantity of cement used varied greatly on different jobs,
the average of all work so done being 9.94 square yards of
pavement per cask of cement, at a cost for cement of $0,231
per square yard. The cost of filling joints in this manner
has been about $0.20 less than the' sum paid in 1894 for pitch
and pebble joints.
Street paving, on old and new streets, has been supervised
in all cases where requested, and the following quantities
have been laid under contracts supervised by this depart-
ment :
Block-stone pavement, on a concrete base, laid with Port-
land cement grout joints, 14,428 square yards, at an average
cost of about $4.25 per square yard.
Block-stone pavement, on a gravel base, laid with Portland
cement grout joints, 11,405.6 square yards, at an average
cost of about $3.10 per square yard.
Block-stone pavement, on a gravel base, laid with gravel
joints, 13,579 square yards, at an average cost of about
$2.75 per square yard.
Trinidad sheet asphalt, with a binder course of asphaltic
cement concrete, on an American cement concrete base,
10,639.3 square yards, at an average cost of about $3.65 per
square yard.
Sicilian rock asphalt, on an American cement concrete
base, 7,293.7 square yards, at an average cost of about $3.65
per square yard.

Street Openings.
A fertile source of annoyance to the travelling public, the
real-estate owner and this department, is the subject of
street openings. The recent acts by which streets are con-
structed and assessed upon the abutters, provide that service-
pipes for sewer, water, and gas shall be laid to the sidewalk
line, and that the street shall not be again opened for the
space of two years, "except in case of obvious necessity."
An ordinance of the city of Boston provides that when about
to construct or resurface a street, the Superintendent shall
give notice to all persons authorized to place any structure
in such street, and after the completion of the work shall not
permit an opening to be made therein for the space of one
year, "except in case of obvious necessity."
It is apparent at once that the construction of the words
'obvious necessity" must be a much disputed subject.
There is still a larger number of streets which have no
legislative protection, but whose constant reopening and
repair of surface thereafter is a continual drain upon the
public treasury.
The landholder, who is about to construct a building, and
who claims not to have seen the published notice, requires
water, gas, and sewer connections, and while in most cases
he has been careless or indifferent in providing himself with
these necessities to a tenantable building, the blame is usu-
ally charged to the contractor or to some one for whom the
owner does not feel personally responsible ; and a claim is
made that no encouragement is given for the development of
property and increased taxation if the owner is compelled to
hold his property useless for a year or a portion thereof.
There is a certain claim of right in this, and it may be said
that real-estate owners have a right to these necessities at all
reasonable seasons of the year ; granted that such openings
should be permitted in a newly surfaced street, some method
other than those at present in vogue must be employed to
protect the department and the tax- payer against increased
outlay and expense on this account. The difficulty is not
that the corporation or persons so opening cannot, but that
they do not replace the pavement in as good condition as
when originally laid.
The remedy, then, seems to be, that every party, having
the right to open the streets, be required to make a deposit
with the City Treasurer, upon which this department may
draw for the expense in making the pavement good with its
own force, and that this deposit be renewed from time to
time as required by the department, no permit being issued
Street Department. 107
until such deposit is made. This, in itself, would have a
salutary effect in causing the exercise of greater care in com-
plying with the regulations of the department, and would
make it possible to restore the surface to its original con-
dition without expense to the department and the public.
In an attempt with the authority the department now has
to get the best results possible from the work of the com-
panies opening the streets, the following regulations and
instructions were issued :
CITY OF BOSTON.
Street Department — Paving Division.
Instructions for Inspectors.
Inspectors are to be appointed by the Superintendent of Streets, and
are to have charge, under the direction of the Deputy Superintendent
of the Paving Division, of all -openings made in, and obstructions of,
the public streets of the City of Boston, by coi-porations having the
right to lay, maintain, or repair rails, wires, pipes, or conduits therein.
Inspectors are to be paid by the corporation whose work they have
in charge at the rate of $3.00 per day of nine hours. When their ser-
vices are required for ten hours, they are to receive 30 cents for the
tenth hour; for all time over this, and for all work on Sundays and
holidays, they are to receive " time and a half, 1 ' or 45 cents per hour.
When corporations are excavating trenches over time, they will not
require the service of an Inspector; but when they are back-filling or
surfacing the street, the Inspector must be present.
The Inspector must make a daily report, in writing, to the Deputy
Superintendent of the Paving Division of the work of which he is in
charge; and he must also be on. his work from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M.
There is to be only one Inspector on a trench, and he is to be held
responsible for the condition of the trench.
In the refilling of trenches the best of the excavated material is to
be carefully replaced in the trenches, and thoroughly consolidated by
ramming.
Paved Streets. — The trenches are to be refilled and paved to an even
longitudinal grade, and in case this method leaves any sags or depres-
sions in the existing roadway, within a distance of ten feet from the
side of the trench, such sags are to be taken up and repaired with
material of the same character and quality. If any of the paving stones
are broken, or are unfit for use, they must be replaced with large
granite blocks of the standard specifications of the Street Department.
Macadam Streets. — The trenches are to be refilled to an even longi-
tudinal grade, and all macadam material is to be replaced on top of
the trench ; and in case the macadam has been wasted, or is insufficient
to make a depth of eight inches, new crushed stone is to be furnished.
In case this method leaves sags or depressions in the present roadway,
within a distance of ten feet from the side of the trenches, such sags
are to be refilled with crushed stone, and the whole surface of the trench
and the sags which have been refilled are to be covered with gravel
binder, thoroughly wet down, and rolled to a hard, uniform surface.
The above directions apply also to gravel streets, except that a good
quality of coarse gravel shall be used instead of broken stone.
The above directions apply to all ordinary work ; and inspectors are
to carefully examine all permits that are granted for opening trenches,
108 City Document No. 29.
in order to see whether they contain special instructions for doing the
work ; and in case such special instructions are given, the Inspectors
are to see that they are carefully followed.
The Inspectors can allow parties opening streets under a permit to
tunnel under crossings ; but after the pipes are laid and the back-filling
commences, the Inspectors must see that the tunnel is broken down,
and the crossings carefully relaid.
In case any corporation refuses to obey these instructions, the In-
spector on the work is to take the permit, and report to the Deputy
Superintendent of the Paving Division ; and this shall be a revocation
of the company's right to open the streets.
B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets.
Boston, June 5, 1895.
Twenty thousand four hundred and forty eight (20,448)
permits were granted during the past year to open streets.
The excavations made under these permits aggregate 266.4
miles in length, and show the extent of this work.
The Street Department has been accustomed to grant to
the various gas and other companies, whose work would in
certain cases admit of no delay, a so-called " emergency
permit," which allowed excavations to be made without
special permission being obtained, the only requirement
being that a daily return of openings made under this form
of permit should be forwarded to the office of the superin-
tendent.
Five thousand and ninty four (5,094) openings of an
average lenoth of six feet each were made under " emer-
gency permits" for breaks in water and gas pipes which
were alleged to require immediate attention. These open-
ings were made under 106 permits.
In addition to the above permits, various other permits
have been issued to pedlers, mechanics, and others, for
different purposes, fifteen thousand eight hundred and thirty
six (15,836) in number; making the total number of per-
mits issued thirty six thousand two hundred and eighty four
(36,284).
Smoke Nuisance.
A review of the work of the past year, in enforcing the
statutes for the abatement of the smoke nuisance in the City
of Boston shows very good results not alone in the adoption
of many patent devices and the use of smokeless fuels, but
since the passage of the new law, operative on July 1, 1895,
owners of estate have shown a very liberal spirit in the
matter. This is mainly due to the persistent work of the
observers and the almost constant patrolling of the city, which
is divided into districts, more especially the congested or
business portion. This section of the city has been receiving
Street Department. 109
special attention, the observers patrolling some part of it
every day, and so familiar have they become with the condi-
tion and location of the various stacks that any slight change
is immediately noticed and steps are at once taken to find
out the causes. This diligence on the part of the observers
has resulted in the discovery of two places using a cheap
and inferior grade of fuel, presumely on trial. •
It was formerly the custom to bring the complaints to the
attention of the engineer in an effort to keep them within
bounds, but of late these complaints have been brought
directly to the attention of the owners, and frequent visits
have resulted in changes which have been very beneficial to
the community and in the direction of economy.
While the work performed by the observers and the fre-
quent visits to the owners has had a most salutary effect, and
tends to keep in check a great deal of carelessness hereto-
fore exhibited by the stokers, yet the increased consumption
of coal, made so by the additional demands on the plant, and
in some cases, the addition of work beyond the capacity of
the boilers, makes the usefulness of the patrol system more
and more pronounced.
During the past year 11 complaint notices were served and
12 inspections made, making a total of 330 notices served
and 312 inspections completed. This shows 18 more notices
served than inspections made, which may be classified as fol-
lows : Error, 1 ; duplicates, 2 ; refused to give information,
3 ; moved or closed down, 12.
In the latter part of 1894, it was very evident that the
law of 1893, Chap. 353, entitled "An Act to Abate the
Smoke Nuisance in Large Cities," was very lenient, and to
say the least, somewhat inoperative, in view of which the
matter was taken up by many merchants doing business in
the central section of the city, who were affected by the then
existing smoke nuisances, and a bill embodying their ideas
was submitted to the Legislature of 1895, and was referred
to the Committee on Cities. After a two days' hearing, the
Merchants Association, being represented by Hon. A. E.
Pillsbury, the soft coal dealers and consumers by Mr. E. W.
Burdett, and the ChVy of Boston by Corporation Counsel A.
J. Bailey, the committee reported a bill — House Document,
No. 1048 — now known as Chap. 389, entitled "An Act to
Abate the Smoke Nuisance in the City of Boston." This
Act was signed by the Governor in the latter part of May,
to take effect July 1 .
Immediately following the passage of said Act, the chief
inspector waited upon the owners or representatives of a num-
ber of boiler plants that were likely to become amenable to
1 10 City Document No. 29.
the law, sooner or later, when the demand on their plant
should happen to be increased, and called their attention to
the new law, and of the intention of this department to
strictly enforce the same.
The success of this method of notification was very grati-
fying, as in nearly every case visited a disposition was shown
to comply with the law, either by the adoption of a smoke-
consuming device or a change of fuel ; in some cases it
simply requiring a closer attention to the boilers, and a
change in the method of firing by the stoker. In some
instances the owners were willing to subject themselves to
considerable expense, that they might, as law-abiding citi-
zens, contribute to the public comfort and general cleanliness
of the city.

Of the above, the Cobb Boston Tea Company, City Hos-
pital (new), J. W. Dammerall, Moulton Cafe, Pigott & Son,
C. M. Priest, G. W. Sammett & Son, and United States
Hotel Company, adopted the use of hard coal. Smoke-con-
suming devices were adopted by the following : Boston Globe,
Briggs, Hoffman, & Co., Dwinnell, Wright, & Co., Guyer
Hat Company, Hollis Cold Storage, Houghton & Dutton,
Hut-chins Church Organ Company, Krey & Co., H. & J.
Pfaff, A. W . Perry, Rich Building, Nathan Robbins estate,
Sears estate, 41 Arch street, Shepard, Norwell, & Co., R. H.
White & Co., and G. W. Young.
H. & J. Pfaff and Shepard, Norwell, & Co. were equipped
with a fire brick arch furnace, known as the " Central Draft
Furnace," and in both plants the device was short-lived.
G. W. Young, who burns mainly shavings, equipped his
plant of two boilers with the " Lord Device," a steam and
air arrangement, and the device not proving satisfactory has
since been ordered out. Smith's Brewery, Marginal street,
East Boston, was equipped with the " Andrews Hot Air
Device," and a recent visit to the plant found it burned out.
A. W. Perry, Sullivan place, was equipped with a patent
deflector inserted in the smoke-flue, and the same has been
recently taken out.
In addition to the above work, the observers were noti-
fied to report all upright boilers used by contractors, if
burning soft coal. When these were found on principal
thoroughfares, the owners attention was called to the new
law, and also to the menace and nuisance likely to exist, and
they invariably adopted the use of hard coal, that being
particularly adapted to the upright type. Among these
notified were the three subway contractors, Messrs. Jones &
Meehan, Mr. Eversonand Mr. Shaw, John S. Jacobs & Son,
C. H. Williams, and Mr. Carson, Chief Engineer of the
Boston Transit Commission.

Observations.
A large number of short observations, covering only a few
firings, have been taken by the observers on various plants
throughout the city since the passage of the new law, with a
view of getting violators of the five-minute clause. When a
violation is found, the attention of the boiler-plant owner is
called to it, and assurances are received that the matter will
receive his earliest attention. Other observations have been
made at the request of boiler-plant owners, who having
equipped their plant with devices, and before accepting the
same, wished the city to pass upon them. These latter
observations with reports are on file.

Apparently this coal in the main is sold outside the city
limits, and the few plants in this city who have been found
using it are located in out-of-the-way places, and are mixing
it with hard coal screenings.

SANITARY DIVISION
The work of the Sanitary Division includes the removal
of house-offal and the removal of house and store dirt and
ashes, accumulated from the burning of materials for heating
buildings and for domestic purposes.
The following table shows the amounts expended for the
maintenance of the Sanitary Division for the past five (5)
years :
1891 (13 months)

469,370 74
481,300 63
467,459 02
432,778 52
But few complaints have been received concerning the
failure of the division to promptly remove offal and ashes ;
investigation of these has usually shown that either offal has
not been properly separated from ashes or other refuse, as is
insisted upon by the department, or else that the receptacles
were deposited in some inaccessible place, or were larger
than the ordinances provide and the regulations of the depart-
ment permit.
In order that householders might understand these regu-
lations, and that easy access would be given employees to
the receptacles, and the work not unnecessarily delayed, the
following circular was issued :
CITY OF BOSTON".
Street Department — Sanitary Division.
Notice to Householders.
Attention is called to the following sections of the revised ordinances
of the City of Boston :
CHAPTER 43.
Sect. 14. No person shall keep in his house, or on his land, any
house-offal, unless the same is placed in a suitable vessel, free from
ashes and other refuse matter, and so placed as to be easily removed.
Sect. 17. No person shall place or keep, in or near any building,
ashes or cinders in such a manner as to be liable to cause fire, nor mix
them with other substances, nor place or keep them except in metallic
vessels, so placed as to be easily removed.
Street Department. 117
The regulations of this department require that all receptacles for
ashes or offal, shall be placed either at the curbstone or in an easily
accessible place on the level of the lot on which the building stands.
Employees of this department are not supposed to enter cellars, cellar-
ways, areas, or bulkheads, for the removal of ashes or offal.
The use of receptacles larger than an ordinary flour barrel is strictly
prohibited.
B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets.
During the past few years the shops of the division at the
South Yard had been almost entirely discontinued. These
have now been reestablished with competent mechanics upon
the same basis as any journeyman shop in the city, and the
repairs and some constructive work of this and other divi-
sions has been done cheaply and well.
To the operation of these shops and the methods estab-
lished there, is due in large measure the decreased expense
of operating this as well as other divisions of the depart-
ment. These consist of a wheelwright and blacksmith shop,
paint shop, harness shop, and horse-shoeing shop, and a
statement of the work performed will be found later in Ap-
pendix D.
The following table shows the number of loads of offal
collected and removed in the last five (5) years, since re-
6rganization as a division by the Street Department :

1892 46,343
1893 ...... 51,415
1894 50,637
1895 . . . . . . 51,327
Each load of offal is equivalent to fifty-seven (57) cubic
feet and has a maximum weight of one and one-half (1|-) tons
tons at certain seasons of the year.
The above table does not include previous to the year
1893 the amount collected by contract in East Boston and
Brighton, which amounted to about 5,100 loads per year.
Of the amount (51,327 loads) collected during the year
1895, 3,732 loads were collected by the East Boston con-
tractor, 1,419 loads were collected by the Brighton contrac-
tor, and 4,179 loads Avere collected by the Dorchester
contractor, and 517 loads were collected by the West Rox-
bury contractor, leaving 41,480 loads collected by city teams.
The collection of this material is attended to in winter by
an average regular force of 77 city offal carts and 169 men,
and on contract work 16 offal carts and 32 men ; making a,
118
City Document No. 29.
total of 93 offal carts and 201 men. At different times, and
especially in summer, an approximate extra force of 21
teams and 42 men are employed.
The disposal has been made during the year in the follow-
ino; manner : The offal from the markets, and offal that is
decayed, is put on board a scow and towed to sea ; the offal
of Charlestown is taken to the yard at Maiden bridge and
there disposed of to farmers ; the offal of East Boston is
collected by contractors, and is removed to Revere ; the
offal of the City Proper and South Boston is conveyed to
the yard at the South End, and disposed of to farmers, who
remove it daily ; the offal of Roxbury and a part of West
Roxbury is conveyed to the yard on Highland street, and
disposed of to farmers ; a portion of the collections of West
Roxbury is collected by contract and removed to Needham ;
the offal of Brighton is collected by contract and disposed
of outside of the district ; the offal in Dorchester, commenc-
ing January 21, 1895, was delivered to the New England
Construction Company, at its plant on Gibson street, under
a contract made July 25, 1894, for reduction and final dis-
position ; teams which had made the collection formerly,
under a contract which was rendered void upon the opera-
tion of this plant, were hired by the day, and this continued
until the complaints of the residents of the locality caused
the plant to be adjudged detrimental to the public health,
after an examination by the Board of Health, and the process
was discontinued on April 18, 1895 ; since that time the
offal has been collected by a contractor, who in turn sells
it to farmers from his own offal-sheds near Commercial
Point.

The experiment in the disposal of offal which resulted in
the construction of the reduction plant of the New England
Construction Company, demonstrated that public opinion
will not permit the establishment of such a process in a
settled portion of the community. The representatives of
other processes, both of reduction and incineration, claim
them odorless and unobjectionable, but even if this be true
in itself, their establishment must result in the concentra-
tion of the offal collection at this point. When the present
methods of disposal become detrimental to the health of the
community, or are made impossible by legislative enact-
ment, the plant of the process adopted should be located
upon some island in the harbor, and the collection should be
made in covered cans or detachable wagon bodies, and
delivered on the water front at many and widely distributed
points ; it could then be taken by scow to the point of final
disposition without rehandling, and the most objectionable
feature of garbage collection thus obviated.
Removal of Ashes and House-Dirt.
The removal of ashes, house and store dirt has been
attended to during the year by a minimum force of 223
men and 93 city carts, also by 6 carts with an East Boston
contractor, 5 carts with a South Boston contractor, 10 carts
with a Dorchester contractor, and 3 carts with a West Rox-
bury contractor. At different times, and especially during
120
City Document No. 29.
the winter months, an additional force of 37 teams and 74
men are employed.
This work shows a constant increase from year to year,
as will be seen in the following table, and is an indication of
the actual growth of the city :

SEWER DIVISION.
The maintenance force of this division is engaged in the
operation and repair of the Main Drainage Works, at Old
Harbor Point and Moon Island, as well as the repair and care
of the entire sewer system of the city, including the flushing
and cleaning of sewers and catch-basins.
The following table shows the amounts expended from the
maintenance appropriation of the Sewer Division for the past
five (5) years :

The past year has been one of such unusual activity that
the amount of sewer construction in 1894, previously the
largest in the history of the division, has been exceeded in
the number of lineal feet of sewer built by over fifty per
cent. (50%).
The city has built with its own labor and by contract
139,200.09 linear feet of sewers, and designed and inspected
36,287.35 linear feet for private parties building under
release; making a total for the year of 175,487.44 feet, or
over thirty-three miles. The total mileage of sewers now
built is 416.45, of which 22.93 miles are intercepting sewers.
Many new catch-basins and culverts have been built and old
ones repaired. Over sixteen miles of sewers have been
cleaned and flushed, and 18,264.25 cubic yards of sludge re-
moved from various catch-basins.
All sewers, with four exceptions, when the law under
which they were constructed permitted, have been built by
department day labor ; the sewers in all streets laid out
under Chap. 323 of 1891, and Acts amending and referring
thereto, including " The Boulevards," have been built by
contract, as well as all surface drains, catch-basins, and
house connections therein, which will ever be required,
carrying the latter to within the curb-line.
In addition to the 1\ miles of boulevard, requiring two
sewers, with house connections and a surface drain with con-
Street Department. 123
necting catch-basins for nearly the entire distance, sewers,
with house drains, or surface drains, or both, have been
constructed in the following "Board of Survey" streets, so
called :
Abbotsford street, Bay State road, Brighton avenue,
Granby street, Greenbriar street, Geneva avenue, Harvard
avenue, Josephine street, Kenmore street, Lauriat avenue,
St. Alphonsus street, and Sherborn street.
Surface Drainage.
The attention of the City Government and the public is
again called to the subject of surface drainage and the neces-
sity for legislation to protect natural water-courses from
obliteration. It is unfortunately the fact that private inter-
est is rapidly filling up these outlets which Nature provided
for the surface drainage of the water-sheds, and considers
itself injured when flooded thereby in time of storm ; con-
necting the City of Boston in some unaccountable way with
the injury, and unfairly demanding the construction of catch-
basins for this flow to be connected with the public sewers.
A portion of the article on " Surface Drainage " published
in the report of last year seems worthy of reproduction in
an attempt to bring forcibly to public attention the necessity
of immediate legislative action :
"While the sewers in the City Proper, East and South
Boston, and Charlestown are, in the main, large enough to
carry both the sewage and surface water, those of the out-
lying districts are altogether too small to take the surface
water, the areas to be drained being enormously larger than
in the districts first mentioned. As the sewer system has
been extended, year by year, into these outlying districts,
the sizes designed have been but little larger than what was
necessary to serve the needs of the district at the time of
building. For many reasons this policy has been unavoid-
able ; the size of oulets limits the size of extensions, and
scarcity of funds often makes it imperative to build a sewer
smaller than good judgment would dictate, in order to reach
some community where the public health is endangered for
lack of sewerage.
" In many cases it would be not only financially impracti-
cable but would show bad business judgment to sink large
sums of money in building sewers large enough for all time,
when the development of the district is uncertain or likely
to be slow. The result of these various causes is, that the
sewer system in Dorchester, West Roxbury, Brighton, and
parts of Roxbury, while large enough in general to take care
124 City Document No. 29.
of the house sewage and the street-water during light rains,
is totally inadequate to cany off the surface-water of heavy
rains.
" The state of things is growing constantly worse as the
city grows, because, as new streets and houses are built, the
proportions of impervious service from which the rain runs
off rapidly, is being increased, causing the rainfall upon any
given area to be concentrated and discharged in less time
than in former years.
" The inadequacy of the sewer systems to carry the storm-
water becomes, therefore, more apparent every year as this
change in the character of the surface of the around goes on.
It is also apparent that it becomes correspondingly impor-
tant to preserve and improve the natural water-courses to
serve as carriers of the bulk of these floods, as the alterna-
tive to this is practically to rebuild the whole sewer system
of the suburban districts upon a larger scale.
" In other words, we shall be compelled to regard our sewers
as part of a partially separate system, although they were
built and have been used upon the combined principle.
"By confining the sewers to the duty of carrying the house
sewerage and the discharge from a limited number of catch-
basins only, they will prove in most cases large enough, while
the natural water-courses, supplemented by .surface drains in
the streets, will have to be developed into a system for car-
rying away the storm-water.
" It is also important to keep as much surface-water as pos-
sible out of the sewer system, for the additional reason that
all water, whether sewerage or rain w r ater, has to be lifted by
the pumps of the intercepting system.
"But however much those whose business it is to care for
the city's interest may be impressed with the importance of
preserving the water-courses, it is very difficult to impress
the general public with its importance. This department is
constantly involved in contests with land-owners who are
filling up and obliterating these water-courses, heedless of
well-defined channels or conspicuous street culverts. And
here comes in play that discouraging phase of human nature,
in consequence of which men, who are honorable in their
dealings with their fellows, seem to be able to make use of a
much lower code of morals when they come to deal with that
impersonal entity called the city.
" Although it may be explained to them that their course
will entail upon the city in a few years an enormous expense
for rebuilding the sewers of larger size, and although the
law is perfectly clear that no man has a right to obstruct a
Street Department. 125
natural water-course and thereby damage his neighbor, still
their personal gain outweighs these theoretical consider-
ations, and they will persist in obliterating the channel, and
will bring every political and other influence to bear to the
end that the water which should flow in that channel be
turned into the sewer, and have in many cases succeeded.
" No one can pretend that the land speculator suffers any
hardship by not being allowed to improve his lot in this
manner, because the depreciation in the value of the land
caused by the presence of the water-course has undoubtedly
been discounted in the purchase price in every transfer
through which it has passed, and certainly no one can claim
that he has any moral right to the increment of value added
thus at the city's expense. Unfortunately, his legal right to
it is clear if he can get the thing done, and therein lies the
temptation.
" Now, the city's interest is such a vital one in this matter
that it cannot afford to remain passive ; its course must be
more aggressive in the future, or many of the most impor-
tant of these water-courses will be practically obliterated
within a few years, as a perusal of the paragraphs describ-
ing their present condition will prove.
"The law, as it stands, gives the city no rights which are
at all commensurate with its interest in the matter.
"The city's obligation is to keep a good and sufficient
culvert in operation on every water-course w T hich crosses a
public street.
"If an abutter upon a water-course starts filling it in, the
city can take no action until actual damage has resulted from
flooding the street.
" This is the sum total of the city's duties and rights in
regard to these channels."
Following this were suggestions for new legislation, the
object of which would be to keep the existing channels open,
also to improve the same without the necessity of making
takings, and the consequent liability for damages ; and also
to enable the city to assess the cost of improvements upon
lands abutting upon such stream.
This last phase of the question deserves further discussion.
Abutting lands are not the only lands benefited or served
by an improvement of a water-course. Let us consider
what are the causes which bring about the necessity of im-
proving, that is, enlarging the capacity of a water-course.
It is not only the desire to utilize, by building upon, the
low lands near the brook, but it is the actual change in the
nature of the surface of the entire valley or water-shed for
126 City Document No. 29.
which the brook serves as the natural drain, caused by the
grading, filling of hollows, construction of streets, houses,
etc., whereby the proportion of impervious surface is in-
creased, and the surface-water discharged more quickly into
the water-courses, as previously explained.
Although the total quantity of water to be provided for
is not increased, the effect is the same as though there were
an actual increase, because the same quantity is discharged
in less time; enlargement of the discharging channels there-
fore becomes necessary, for the channel must be equal to the
maximum demand upon it, even if that demand be of short
duration, or a flood ensues.
The service which such an enlarged water-course per-
forms, then, is to drain off the surface-water of all the land,
high as well as low, which lies within its water-shed ; in-
deed the changes just described usually take place first upon
the high lands, which are naturally occupied and developed
before the low lands. It is evident, therefore, that the cost
of enlargement should be assessed upon all the lands within
the water-shed of that portion of the brook which is enlarged,
and, in equity, the assessment should be confined to such
lands as the city, outside of such water-shed, is not benefited
or served in any way by the improvement. But the low
lands, which have always been liable to be flooded, receive
a benefit in addition to the service which the brook renders
them in common with all the land of its water-shed, — they
become habitable ; whereas before the enlargement, which
means deepening and lowering, of the brook they were not.
Hence, a larger proportion of the cost of improvement
should be assessed upon them than upon the high lands.
The difference in the valuation of the low T lands, as shown
by the assessors' books, in the year following the completion
of the improvement, as compared with the valuation in the
year before the improvement was begun, might fairly be
considered as measuring the benefit received by them, and
an assessment to defray the cost of the improvement might
be made to equal this amount, the remainder of the cost of
improvement, if any, being assessed equally upon all the
lands within the water-shed, including the low lands ; in the
case of the latter, the last described increment of assessment
(representing service) being added to the first described
increment (representing benefit received), and constituting
the total assessment upon the low lands ; that upon the high
lands being the increment which represents service only.

STREET-CLEANING DIVISION.
The Street-Cleaning Division has charge of the cleanliness
of the public ways in the central portion of the city in which
there are paved streets ; namely, in seven districts, while the
suburban districts — No. 4, Brighton; No. 5, West Rox-
bury, and No. 6, Dorchester — are cared for by the Paving
Division.
The following table shows the amounts expended for the
maintenance of the Street Cleaning Division for the past five
(5) years :

With an expenditure of $305,998.50, this division has
cleaned 11,418.99 miles of streets, removing 122,544 loads
of street-dirt; has also cleaned 2,718.45 miles of paved
gutters on macadamized streets, including special work on
crossings, maintained 16 dumping-stations, removed excess
of snow from pavements and crossings, paid special atten-
tion to the collection and removal of leaves in the fall of the
year, maintained a paper-patrol in freezing weather and a
push-cart patrol in the retail district, which has been ex-
tended during the year into the business section of Roxbury ;
and, besides making necessary repairs to its plant and pur-
chasing the new stock needed, made a disposal at sea of
31,278 loads of street-dirt. The average cost of sweeping-
streets, including supervision, labor, yard, and stable ex-
penses, pro rata of dumps, and removal, was, by improved
organization and supervision, reduced from $15.61 (the cost
last year) to $14.44 per actual mile of street swept, during
the last eight and one-half months of the year. In the care
of the three suburban districts, the Paving Division removed
from macadamized streets 22,636 single and 2,107 double
loads of street-scrapings. After a severe snow-storm, the

The above-mentioned force use in carrying out the work
of the division the following plant :
19 double-sweeping machines, 21 single-sweeping ma-
chines, 12 water-carts, 79 street-carts, 93 horses (owned by
the division), 20 asphalt-scrapers.
Six of the above horses are driving-horses.
The push-cart patrol use :
Sixty-one push-caits, 82 extra barrels, 3 street-carts,
3 horses (all hired). Of the 61 push-carts, 37 are in daily
service.
In addition to the above-mentioned carts, the division
hires about 43 extra teams.
During the summer an extra single team and helper were
hired, to empty the public waste-barrels located throughout
the city.

The department owns three 3-horse sweeping-machines,
which are stored in the yard of the Lockwood Man'f g Com-
pany at East Boston. These were purchased in 1894, and
were not found to operate successfully ; they are designed
for self-loaders, but are of no use to the department.
Special efforts have been made during the year for the
abatement of the "paper nuisance" and kindred causes of
unsightliness, due to the carelessness of abutters and the trav-
elling public.
The following circular has been issued and given wide
distribution :
CITY OF BOSTON.
Street Department.
Notice to Occupants.
Your attention is hereby called to the following sections of the Revised
Ordinances in relation to
Throiving or Sweeping Dirt of any kind into the Public Streets.
CHAPTER 43.
Sect. 38. No person shall, except in accordance with the permis-
sion of the Superintendent of Streets, or in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section 42 of this Chapter (providing for the sanding of side-
walks), sprinkle, scatter, put, or place, any earth, dirt, gravel, sand,
cinders, ashes, sawdust, salt, or mixture of salt, in or upon a street, not
nor shall any person, except in accordance with the permission of the
Superintendent of Streets, remove any manure or dirt from any street.
Sect. 39. No person shall throw, or sweep into, or place or drop
and suffer to remain in any street, any piece of hoop, board, wood, wire,
paper, or any nails, sweepings, sawdust, soot, ashes, cinders, shavings,
hair, manure, oyster shell, clam shell, lobster shell, card, hand-bill, or
rubbish or filth of any kind, or any noxious or refuse liquid or solid
matter or substance.
Sect. 103. Whoever violates any provision of this Chapter, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding twenty dollars for each offence, and
not only the person actually doing the prohibited thing, but also his
employer and every other person concerned in so doing, shall be pun-
ished by the said fine.
Sweeping store dirt to the sidewalks, and thence to the gutters, is in
violation of the above ordinances. You are therefore notified to provide
other measures for the removal of all sweepings and litter, as the above
ordinances will be enforced.
B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets.
If the existing- ordinances regulating the conduct of the
public with respect to cleanliness were faithfully observed
and duly enforced, the task of the Street-Cleaning Division
would be greatly lightened. With streets swept every night
and patrolled during the day, no condition of cleanliness can
130 City Document No. 29.
be preserved when the operations of the department are fol-
lowed by a procession of the thoughtless, the indifferent,
and the ignorant, casting from them into the street refuse of
fruit, torn scraps of letters, destroyed after perusal, the
daily papers, and everything which ceases to have a use,
while they are conveniently near a public way.
The number of public waste-barrels has been largely
increased during the year, and the tendency of fruit dealers
and others selling goods, under a permit from this depart-
ment, to throw refuse into the streets has been largely
checked by the issuance of the following letter, and if com-
pliance therewith has been refused the permit to sell has
been revoked :
CITY OF BOSTON.
Street Department.
Boston, 189
Dear Sir : Complaint having been made of the condition in which
the street is kept in front of your premises, where you are doing busi-
ness under a permit obtained from the Sti-eet Department, you are
hereby notified that it will be necessary for you to procure a waste
barrel, to be located in the immediate vicinity of your stand. In order
that these barrels may be of uniform dimensions, color, and lettering,
you will be obliged to purchase the same of the city of Boston. Appli-
cation for one of these barrels must be made to the Deputy Superin-
tendent of the Street-Cleaning Division, at his office at 14 Beacon street,
within ten days from date.
Yours truly,
B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets.

STREET-WATERING DIVISION.
This division was made a separate and distinct part of the
Street Department, with a Deputy Superintendent in charge,
March 6, 1895. Heretofore the street-watering has been
conducted by the Paving Division, with a foreman in charge.
That the change fixes responsibility and increases efficiency,
the service rendered by the division during the year and the
reduced expense will prove clearly.
The following sums have been expended for street-water-
ing during the past five (5) years :
1891
. ■ . . . $104,263 62

94,507 80

99,430 16

In the past it was deemed proper that the watering in the
Back Bay and the South End should be done by contract
rather than day work. This method at best is unsatisfactory,
as the division and the contractor would often be of counter
opinions as to when the carts are needed, and the supervising
force compelled to be constantly on the alert to provide for
the conditions before their tardy appearance. A contract,
in street- watering at least, no matter what rebates it con-
tains for poor service, does not give the satisfaction that day
work does. For this reason, after due consideration, day
work was substituted for contract work in the Back Bay and
the South End districts, with the gratifying result that the
watering was better done in those localities and at an aston-
ishingly smaller expense than formerly. The cost of water-
ing the Back Bay under contract in 1894 was $6,696.02 ;
this year under day work the expense was $4,990. The
cost of watering the South End under contract in 1894 was
$5,128.50, against $2,540 for day work this year. A saving
in both districts of $4,294.52 in day work over contract.
This saving in the South End is, of course, partly due to
the discontinuance of the use of salt-water furnished by the
contractor.
The past season was not excessively hot nor yet partic-
ularly wet. The greatest advantage was taken of the rain-
fall.
132 City Document No. 29.
Complaints made of the work of the division are of two
kinds, one from the householder, who considers the flooding
of the street from curb to curb only sufficient for his taste ;
the other, from drivers and cyclists who appreciate proper
and intelligent street-watering to be the laying of the dust
without soaking the street into mud.
Unusual attention has been given to the prevention of this
flooding of macadam streets, a custom heretofore prevailing
to the utter ruin of the street, but to the advantage of the
water-cart owner since it permitted him to make fewer trips
over his route, without complaint from the abutters because
of dust ; and it has been the constant aim of the division to
acquire that happy medium so difficult to attain, which will
give protection from dust to the abutters, and freedom from
mud to the cyclist, meanwhile saving the city the thousands
of dollars in the cost of maintenance which improper water-
ing of its macadamized streets has always cost it.
Better results were made possible by more complete super-
vision, and to increase the efficiency of the inspecting force,
its members were provided with bicycles. The effect of this
improved organization has been to give much better watering
in the districts where in the past negligence in watering was
due to the large territory assigned to the inspectors, averag-
ing over twenty-five miles each, and which it was impossible
for them to cover twice a day as is now done with the aid of
the bicycles. The utter absence of any grave street-water-
ing complaint, the work of the year having been subject to
the smallest number of complaints of any kind ever known,
is unquestionably a remarkable testimonial to the efficiency
attained by the division. It has been brought about with
the assistance of the bicycle, and the excellent telephone
system arranged with the inspectors whereby they are in
communication with the Deputy Superintendent morning
and noon.
There is still a false impression in some sections that the
division waters paved streets, whereas the watering is done
as formerly by the subscriptions of the abutters ; this is
because of the extra original cost of paved streets over mac-
adam, and the further fact that it is possible to keep them
clean by sweeping. Corporations are compelled to water
after finishing their operations in paved streets. The divi-
sion is always willing to assist the abutters in having any
nuisance abated, and invariably the contractors are ready to
meet the extra demand upon them in the matter of operations
in paved streets.
The use of salt-water on macadam streets is impracticable
Street Department. 133
save in a very few locations, and is an undoubted injury to
the better class of vehicles, and it has therefore been entirely
discontinued.

176 City Document No. 29.
It will be noted that the largest outlay for maintenance was
upon the Boy lston- street bridge, over the Boston & Albany R.K.,
for cleaning and red-leading all the ironwork, and redecking and
sheathing the same. This was clone upon the recommendation of
the City Engineer, and cost for labor and material, $2,805.55.
All of the bridges requiring it have been painted during the
year, and all of the draw-houses have had all sanitary necessities
put in complete good order. Water has been connected at L-
street bridge, and the water connections have been made more
complete at Congress street, which will result in a considerable
saving for water formerly bought of water-boats. The men's
quarters at draw-houses have been renovated and repainted. The
carpenters have done a great deal of work and done it well, the
roadways on all the bridges being in excellent condition.
The names of each of the principal bridges have been painted
and set up in conspicuous places on them.
Work upon the inland bridges, in addition to repairs, includes
keeping them clean. They have been swept regularly and
thoroughly, and in winter kept clear of snow.

Plant and Property in Charge of the Ferry Division.
South Ferry, East Boston side, located at the terminal of Lewis
street, covers an area of 68,725 square feet of land and water.
On these premises there is one head-house, one coal-shed, one
work-shop for carpenters, machinists, and blacksmith, one gate-
room and oil-room, three piers, which form the two ferry slips,
two drops and tanks, and one dock, where boats are laid when not
in use or while undergoing repairs.
South Ferry, city side, located at the terminal of Eastern
avenue, covers an area of 28,135 square feet, upon which is
erected one head-house, with canopies extending over driveways,
also boiler-room and gate- room, three piers, which form the two
slips, and two drops and tanks.
North Ferry, city side, located at the terminal of Battery street,
covers an area of 45,000 square feet of land and water, upon
which is erected one head-house, with canopies, boiler-room, gate-
room, store-shed, etc., three piers, which form the two slips, and
two drops and tanks.
North Ferry, East Boston side, located at the terminal of Border
street, covers and area of 62,138 square feet of land and water,
upon which is erected one head-house, with canopy, boiler-room,
Street Department — Ferry Division. 185
gate-room, oil-room, stable and coal-shed, three piers, which form
two slips, two drops and tanks.
The wharf property adjoining the head house on Eastern avenue
was leased several years ago by the Ferry Department for $4,000
per year. The whole premises are now sublet to the Institutions
Department for $2,000 per year.
Of the drops there are eight — two of them are new, one having
been built in 1894 and the other in 1895.
Of the other six, four of them are in good condition, two are
not so good.
The South drop on North ferry, Boston side, is poor, but per-
fectly safe.
The North drop on South ferry, Boston side, is in the same
condition.
All the piers, twelve in number, are now in fair condition.
The North pier on South ferry, Boston side, has just been
repaired at a cost of over $1,300.
The several head-houses and buildings are in good condition,
except the head-house and the coal-shed at the South ferry, East
Boston side, which must soon be replaced by new ones.
The head-house on South ferry, Boston side, should be moved
over to one side same as at North ferry, thereby making it safe and
more convenient to foot-travel and greatly facilitating team traffic.
Battery street should be widened on westerly side between
Commercial street and ferry gate. This has been agitated for a
long time without success, but should be done.
With the cooperation of the Board of Police, patrol-boxes have
been placed at each of the head-houses, and better protection thus
secured to person and property of the patrons of the ferries.

There have been 13,334 notices sent to the various foremen
directing them to repair defects in the streets, which have been re-
ported by the police, or from other sources ; also 2,424 notices to
private parties to repair work which had been improperly done by
them where they had received permits to open the streets, and to
owners of estates where there were defective coal-holes or Hyatt
lights .
In accordance with Sect. 8, Chap. 36, Revised Ordinances of
1892, 328 notices have been sent to the foremen of the several
districts, directing them to make, if necessary, repairs where parties
making openings had neglected to attend to them within a specified
time after being notified to do so.
Three hundred and nine notices have been sent to departments,
and others, regarding proposed street improvements.
There have been 544 new bonds filed ; also 316 applications re-
ferred to the Police Department, asking for information regarding
locations where permits had been asked for to sell fruit, etc., from
windows, bulkheads, and areas, and the granting or refusal' has
been governed by the recommendations received. The same course
has been pursued in cases of individuals desiring to occupy
sidewalks for more than ten minutes at a time to load or unload
goods.
The inspectors connected with the Paving Division have reported
to this office at an appointed hour daily, and presented in writing a
statement of their doings of the previous day, all of which have
been examined, and such notices or correspondence as becomes
necessary bj T reason of their reports, forwarded. During the open
season there have been a number of extra inspectors employed to
Street Department — Paving Divisions 293
watch over the work of companies opening long trenches. Their
reports were also made in writing daily, giving the number of feet
opened, amount of pipe or conduit laid, also the amount of back-
filling, material used, and quality of the work in refilling and resur-
facing, thus giving an idea of the condition of the streets at the
points of opening.
These inspectors were paid by the companies to whose work
they were assigned.
Since the removal of this office, on April 15, from Room No. 7,
Old Court-House to the present quarters, Old Probate Building,
No. 28 Court square, where, for the fkst time there is sufficient
accommodation for the work of the office, all plans of street-rail-
way tracks, poles, etc., and underground pipes or conduits have
been removed from the office of the Paving Division to this office,
and together with all other plans showing locations of electric
poles, underground conduits, etc., are now being arranged and
indexed. No plan is now loaned to any department or person
without a receipt being taken for the same.
Early in March a new duty was assigned to this office, in the
examination of conditions of streets and sidewalks at points where
it had been claimed that accidents had happened, and from state-
ments received from the Inspector of Claims for the city, it seems
to have been of much value. The following is the summary of
this work during the season :
The number of claims filed against the department since March
12 is 100.
The general character of these claims is found upon inspection
to be based on various alleged defects. When, received at this
office the claim is carefully investigated by the examiner, the place
measured, and a sketch made of the location, report is made to the
Superintendent of Streets, and is filed in his office for reference ; to
be used also for the benefit of the committee on claims, and as
evidence in court if necessary, and a duplicate report is also kept
in the Permit Office.
A great many of these claims are in reality for no defects in the
highway, but are traced to the negligence of corporations, contrac-
tors, builders, drain-layers, etc., who fail to properly light or guard
their trenches or obstructions, and who do not put the street back
in a workmanlike or satisfactory manner, therefore a new feature
has been added to fit these cases in the form of a notice which is
sent to the parties who have or had permits for openings, obstruc-
tions, etc. As will be readily seen, they place the responsibility
for these accidents and defects on the proper parties. It is also a
matter of importance to know that these notices greatly aid the
Inspector of Claims in the settlement of a number of such cases.
The number of claims investigated ..... 100
The number of notices sent out ..... 45

HOUSE-OFFAL.
There are employed in the removal of house-offal 201 men and
93 wagons. The offal is removed from dwelling-houses twice a
week during the summer months, and once a week during the
winter; from hotels, markets, and restaurants it is removed daily.
The men are required to enter the yards, collect the offal, empty
into wagons, and deliver at the depots, located as follows : one on
Albany street, one on Highland street, Roxbury ; and one at the
Almshouse, Charlestown ; also to the dumping-boats located at
Fort Hill wharf, on Atlantic avenue.
The offal is largely sold to farmers of adjoining towns, the
remainder is dumped on the scows and carried to sea. About
nine per cent, of the quantity collected during the past } 7 ear has
been disposed of in this manner.
On January 21, 1895, the New England Construction Company
commenced the disposition of the offal collected under the
McShane contract at the plant erected by them on the city land
located on Gibson street, Dorchester. They disposed of 910^ tons
under their patented process, for which they received $569.44;
but the residents of Dorchester objected to the process and loca-
tion of the plant, and held public indignation meetings, appealing
to the Board of Health to stop the running of the plant, and finally
applied to the Courts for an injunction ; this was granted, and on
April 18, 1895, it was closed, and still remains so.
The Dorchester contractor disposes of the offal at present in the
same manner as the city itself, by sale to farmers.
At present there are four sections of the city let out by contract
for the collection of house-offal : East Boston, by Thomas Mulli-
gan ; Dorchester District, by John McShane ; Brighton District, by
D. B. Morrill; and a portion of West Roxbury, by George T.
Barnes.
The cash revenue received from the sale of house-offal for the
past five years has been as follows :
1891 ....
. $30,246 65
1892 ....
21,282 82

20,790 03
1894 ....
26,262 40
1895
27,374 47
Street Department — Sanitary Division. 311
The money received from the sales of house-offal is deposited
monthly with the City Collector, and then credited to the Sinking-
Fund of the City of Boston.
House-dirt and Ashes.
In the collection of house-dirt and ashes there are employed 271
men and 199 carts. This material is removed from hotels, tene-
ment-houses, and stores daily ; from dwelling-houses once a week.
The City Ordinances of 1892 (Chapter 36) require that house-dirt
and ashes shall be kept in an easily accessible place for their re-
moval, the men being obliged to enter the yards and remove the
receptacles to the sidewalks, where their contents are dumped into
the carts. The receptacles are then placed in their original posi-
tion. The material is disposed of, if possible, on low lands, being-
used for filling, and is also dumped on scows, to be carried to sea.
Of the amount collected last year, thirty-one per cent, was dis-
posed of in this manner, viz., carried to sea.
There are five sections of the city let out by contract for the
collection of house-dirt and ashes. Both Dorchester contracts are
held by John McShane ; South Boston, west of Dorchester street,
by Denis O'Sullivan ; East Boston by Wm. P. Hedrington ; and a
part of West Roxbury by Matthew E. Nawn.
At the expiration of one of the South Boston contracts — that
one held by F. J. Mohan, — east of Dorchester street, on May 1,
1895, the work was continued by day labor, with teams from the
South yard. Later in the year, a stable and yard were hired on
Ninth street, corner of Vale, and all of the teams for the collection
of ashes in this section were located there, together with the offal
wagons that were working in South Boston, in order that the work
of collecting and removing both house-dirt and ashes and house-
offal might be done by day labor.
Division Repair-Shops.
Located at the South End Yard, situated 650 Albany Street.
At these shops all of the repairs on carriages, carts, wagons,
etc., are made, together with the painting of same; all harnesses
are repaired and many made, and a portion of the horse-shoeing
done.
The mechauics in these shops are 'engaged also in making
repairs on the vehicles, etc., sent by the different divisions of the
Street Department ; all street-signs are painted for the Paving
Division, and a certain amount of horseshoeing is done for the
several divisions.
Wheelwright and Blacksmith Shops.
Cost to maintain during the past year, the sum of $10,005.23,
of which amount $5,206.25 was expended for labor and $4,798.98
for stock. The carts, wagons, and other vehicles of the division
were properly overhauled, when in need of repairs, and the entire
lot of ash and offal sleds were put in proper working order. Of

PLANT AND PROPERTY IN CHARGE OF SANITARY
DIVISION.
South City Stables, Shojis, and Sheds.
Situated on Albany street, opposite Newton street. The lot
belonged to the city before being used for this purpose, and con-
tains 90,780 feet. The stable and buildings connected there-
with are brick. There are also on the premises five wooden sheds,
used for storing wagons, etc. The stable is two stories high, with
French roof, and has accommodations for 100 horses. Twenty-
three horses are kept in sheds. Total original cost, exclusive of
land, $79,089.23.
Connected with stables are blacksmith, wheelwright, painters,
and harness-makers' shops, in which the wagons, carts, harnesses,
etc., used by the department are constructed and kept in repair.
Offal Depot.
Erected in 1864, on the wharf fronting on Albany street, oppo-
site Brookline street, on the other side of the dock from that used
by the Paving Division. The lot which the building occupied, and
the yard attached to the same, contains 39,511 feet, and belonged
to the city before being used for this purpose. Total original cost
of building, $18,578.89. This building is used for the deposit of
house-offal daily collected in the city carts, and from which it is
thence conveyed without the limits of the city proper by pur-
chasers.
West Stable and, Sheds.
The stable is a brick building, a story and a half high, 128 feet
by 50, located on North Grove street, built in 1860, with suitable
outbuildings attached to the same. It has accommodations for 83
horses, in stables and sheds. The lot contains about 45,152
square feet.
Highland Stable.
With accommodations for 60 horses, on the old Almshouse lot,
Highland street, containing 81,082 square feet. A part of this
stable and adjoining lot is used by the Paving Division. There is
on this lot a brick stable, which cost $88,594.13. On this lot is an
offal-shed, erected in 1875, at a cost of $1,160.12
Charlestown Stable.
With accommodation for 25 horses, is situated on Rutherford
avenue; lot contains 17,300 square feet of land; stable built in
1875, cost $5,083.07 ; sheds and outbuildings built in 1879.
318 City Document No. 29.
Fort Hill Wharf.
Containing 21,054 square feet, placed in charge of the Sanitary
Division, used as a dumping station for the city's garbage and ref-
use, and as a landing-place for scows, which convey this stuff to
sea. There are two dumping-boats, known as the Barney dumping-
scows, and these are in continual use for the above purpose, and
are towed to sea by the Street Department steam tug-boat "Cor-
morant." The tug-boat is also used by the Sewer Division. A
portion of this wharf is used by the Street-Cleaning Division as a
locker for push patrol-carts, etc. ; a part is in charge of the Paving
Division ; and a portion occupied by a tenant.
Gibson Street Plant.
Containing 42,000 square feet, and situated in Dorchester dis-
trict, which has been used and occupied by the New England Con-
struction Company, for the treatment and disposition of offal, and
which is now closed.

APPENDIX E.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE SEWER DIVISION.
Probate Building, 28 Court Square,
Boston, February 1, 1896.
Mr. B. T. Wheeler,
Superintendent of Streets:
Dear Sir : I respectfully submit the following report of the
expenses, income, and business of the Sewer Division, for the
financial year ending January 31, 1896, together with a brief
statement of the present condition of the sewers and other prop-
erty, the work done this year, and what should be done in the near
future that the efficiency of the sewers may be improved.
Respectfully yours,
H. W. Sanborn,
Deputy Superintendent.
The Sewer Division has charge of the following work :
1. The maintenance and construction of all common sewers
and catch-basins. •
2. The maintenance of the main drainage works.
3. The maintenance of Stony brook.
4. The maintenance and construction of all street culverts.
5. The preparation of plans, and the engineering and super-
vision required on the construction and maintenance of all work
connected with the division.
6. The granting of permits for all connections to be made with
the common sewers, and the custody of bonds filed by drain-layers
authorized to make such connections.
7. The levying of assessments on estates benefited by the con-
struction of sewers.
One hundred and thirty-nine thousand two hundred (139,200)
lin. ft. of sewers have been built during the past year by the
city, and thirty-six thousand two hundred and eighty-seven (36,-
287) lin. ft. have been built by private parties according to the
plans, and under the inspection of this division, and accepted by
the city under the usual forms of release.
Before submitting any of the details necessary to a compre-
hensive statement of what has been accomplished by the Sewer
320 City Document No. 29.
Division during the past year, your attention is called to the urgent
necessity of an increase in the maintenance appropriation over
what we have had for the past two or three years. It is impossible
to do justice to the citizens or the department without it. The
amount received has been carefully expended, but it is impossible
to keep the sewers and catch-basins in anything like a sanitary
condition without an increase. To emphasize the fact, I have
only to state that fifty-five (55) miles of sewers and five hundred
and seventy (570) catch-basins have been added to the system in
the last two years alone, and yet instead of an increased appro-
priation to care for the same, the division had appropriated for
maintenance the past year $50,000 less than in 1893.
Another item that should be recognized in providing for the
maintenance of the division is that of repairs to the plant at the
pumping-station. Money must be provided to do the necessary
work, or the vital point in the whole sewer system will some day
become suddenly inoperative.
The experience of the last few years has proven that money
for this work cannot be obtained outside of the maintenance
appropriation.
Jt would seem that the healthfulness of the city, which is to a
great extent dependent upon the proper sanitary condition of the
sewer system, would be reason enough to furnish a sufficient
amount to properly maintain the system, even if some less urgent
matters were curtailed in consequence.
The city is growing fast, new territory is being developed, the
sewer system expanding proportionally, and it is impossible to
maintain it properly without a somewhat nearly corresponding
increase in appropriation.
City Proper anp Back Bay.
The system of sewers in the vicinity of Haymarket square,
bounded roughly by Causeway, Hanover, Endicott, and Merrimac
streets, and having its outlet through Canal street, remains in the
same condition in which it was left by the building of the west-
side intercepter in 1883.
It was assumed by the authorities of the Improved Sewerage at
that time that the city would proceed at once to rebuild this sys-
tem, but it has been put off from year to. year until now thirteen
years have elapsed, and the sewers are filled nearly to the top
with sewage deposit.
A more unsanitary condition of things can hardly be found in any
large city in this country than exists in this district. This whole
matter, and the possible remedies therefor, were fully discussed in
the annual report for 1891, to which reference is made. Briefly,
there are two courses which may be pursued, one, to rebuild all
the sewers at an elevation several feet higher to correspond with
that of the west-side intercepter ; the other, to build a new sewer
across the city from the east-side intercepter low enough to drain
out these sewers ; a plan which is feasible from the fact that the
east-side intercepter is about four feet lower than that of the west-
side. The latter plan is favored on account of its being somewhat
Street Department — Sewer Division. 321
cheaper, and affording a system of sewers at a lower grade, a
desirable object for this business section of the city, where cellars
will probably be deeper in the future than they are now.
The completion of the Beach-street system should be under-
taken, or at all events, that portion which includes the rebuilding
of the contracted section of the Harvard-street outlet sewer ; the
Hooding of cellars connected with this system demonstrates its
necessity.
The sewer in Falmouth and Norway streets, which is badly
settled and broken, should be rebuilt without further delay, as its
collapse would dam up the sewage of a considerable section.
The main sewers in Berkeley, Dartmouth, Fairfield, and Hereford
streets are contracted at their storm outlets into Charles river ;
these outlets should be enlarged and tide-gates of sufficient
capacity provided.
The perfection of the surface drainage system of the Back Bay,
for which a study was made last year, should be attended to ;
about one hundred and thirty-three catch-basins and seven thou-
sand linear feet of pipe sewers and surface drains are needed.
Twelve catch-basins in Charlesgate East are connected with a
sewer, while the covered channel of Ston}' brook lies in the same
street.
These basins should never have been connected with a sewer
when a large surface drain was almost equally convenient Their
connections should be removed from the sewer and put into the
brook ; an inexpensive change by which a considerable amount of
surface-water could be kept out of the Hereford-street sewer
system.
The houses on the water-side of Beacon street still drain into
Charles river. A sewer should be built for these houses whenever
the proposed boulevard along the bank of the river is built.
A very large number of sewers in the city proper, especially in
the South Cove, are settled and defective. The following list will
give an idea of the extent to which the city will be called upon to
rebuild sewers in the near future ; the rebuilding of a large pro-
portion of these cannot be much longer postponed, and should not
be any longer delayed, if funds can possibly be secured, as the
cleaning of them is continuous and expensive :
Brighton street, from Milton to Leverett street.
Wall street, from Minot to Causeway street.
Wiget street, from N. Margin to Salem street.
Webster avenue, from Hanover to Unity street.
Hull street, from Commercial to N. Hudson street.
S. Market street, from Commercial street to Merchants row.
Haverhill street, from Traverse to Causeway street.
Nashua street, from Minot to Causeway street.
India street, from Central street to India square.
Milton street, from Brighton to Spring street.
Leverett street, from Causeway to Green street.
Chatham street, from Commercial street to Merchants row.
Bread street, from India to Broad street.
322 City Document No. 29.
Part of sewer at Prince and Thacher street.
Stillraan street, from Charlestown to Salem street.
Way street, from Harrison avenue to Albany street.
East street, from Federal to Lincoln street.
Edinboro' street, from Essex to Beach street.
South street, from Beach to Kneeland street.
Winchester street, from Church street to Edgerly place.
Appleton street, from Tremont to Berkeley street.
Albany street, from Genesee to Troy street.
Oak street, from Albany to Hudson street.
Warren avenue, from Dartmouth to Clarendon street.
Passageway between Concord street and Worcester square.
St. Charles, Guy, Piedmont, Ferdinand, Fayette, and Kirkland
streets are badly settled and need either partial or complete re-
building.
Work clone during 1895.
The defective drainage of the Qnincy Markets, frequently men-
tioned in previous annual reports, is in a fair way to be remedied,
the special sewer for that purpose being now under way, including
a large tank for the storage of sewage during those periods of rain
and higli tide when the common sewers do not afford drainage to
low cellars.
The cellars of business blocks in this vicinity are in much the
same condition as those of the markets, and it would be a desirable
thing, if funds were available, to build similar systems for their
accommodation.
Five thousand seven hundred and thirty-seven (5,737) linear
feet of sewers and surface drains were built by the city by day
labor and contract, and two thousand one hundred and sixty-two
(2,162) linear feet by private parties and released to the city.
Charlestown.
A sewer will have to be built in Chelsea street, between Mecl-
ford street and Scott's court, to conduct the sewage of the court
into the Metropolitan sewer, which ends at Medford street.
Twelve connections, costing about $30,000 in the aggregate,
will have to be made with the Metropolitan sewers the coming-
season, as was stated during the year in a communication to the
Mayor, transmitted by him to the City Council.
New sewers are needed in Arlington avenue, Russell street,
between Mead and Eden streets, and in Concord street.
The Beach-street outlet should be rebuilt of increased size, the
backing up of sewage in the Cambridge-street sewer being largely
due to the outlet.
Old and defective sewers in the following streets should be
rebuilt :
Lyndeboro' street, Essex to Middlesex street.
Beacham street.
Monument avenue, Warren street to Monument square.
Rutherford avenue, Chapman to Dunstable street.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 323
Corey street.
Winthrop street, Warren to Adams street.
Frotbinghara avenue.
Work done during 1895.
One thousand three hundred and eleven (1,311) linear feet of
sewers and surface-drains were built by the city by day labor.
East Boston.
The outlet-sewer for Leyden street, west of Breed street, is now
under way. It will serve for the outlet for sewers on the south-
western part of the hill.
The Havre-street sewer, between Meridian and Sumner streets,
should be rebuilt ; and a main sewer should be started in Chelsea
street, near the bridge.
The following sewer-outlets need rebuilding :
Porter street.
Putnam street.
Jeffries street.
Decatur street.
Brooks street.
Outlet at Dock No. 13.
Eighteen connections with the Metropolitan sewer system, esti-
mated to cost $45,000, should be made during the coming year.
Work done during 1895.
The Orleans-street sewer, between Maverick and Porter streets,
has been completed, and a connection made with the Metropolitan
sewer.
Three thousand four hundred and fifty-four (3,454) linear feet
of sewers have been built by the city by day labor.
Brighton.
Complaints are constantly coming in to the department from res-
idents on Union, 'Shepard, Winship, and Washington streets, on
account of their cellars being flooded during every considerable
rain-storm. The trouble has been exhaustively discussed in nu-
merous past reports ; briefly, it is due to the fact that the seweri
are too small to carry the surface-water during storms, and the
brook, which formed the natural drain for this district, has been
almost completely obliterated by the abutters, who now suffer the
natural consequences of their folly.
The city, too, is not blameless, its agents in past times having
yielded to the importunities of these same abutters, and connected
the brook at various places with the sewers. This department
has but two alternatives to consider in devising a remedy : either
to restore the brook channel upon the old route, or by arrange-
ment with the abutters, upon lines near those of the old route, or
to build an expensive surface drain located in the streets. The
324 City Document No. 29.
Board of Health has the power, which this department does not
possess, to enter upon private lands and restore the old channel
and assess the cost of the work upon those benefited, and should
take this action in the interest of public sanitation.
The house sewer and surface drain, contemplated for several
years, for North Harvard street, should be built. Sewers should
also be built in the following streets :
Newton street.
School street, from Market to Portsmouth street.
Allston square, from Commonwealth avenue to Allston street.
A sewer should be built from Buffalo to Everett street, there to
connect with the Everett-street sewer, to take the sewage from
the stock yards, leaving the old culvert, through which the sewage
of the stock yards now drains, to carry the surface-water from the
road-bed of the B. & A. R.R. aud the water from the old brook.
An outlet should be provided for the surface-water of Lincoln
street, near where the track of the Sewall & Day Cordage Com-
pany crosses it.
Our topographical plans show that a small branch of the brook
mentioned in the preceding paragraph formerly flowed along and
across the tracks of the B. & A. R.R. at this point ; this should
be restored and the Lincoln street catch-basins drained into it.
Work done during 1895.
The sewer system of Harvard-avenue has been built, and also
those of Sections 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 of Commonwealth-avenue
boulevard.
Section 3 is being built, as are the outlet sewers in Chestnut
Hill avenue. A long and expensive outlet remains to be built in
new streets, between Foster and Lake streets. The Lake-street
sewer, completed in 1895, is the outlet for a portion of Common-
wealth avenue and for a part of the Newton boulevard. A new
main sewer, connecting with the Metropolitan sewer at Faneuil Sta-
tion, has been built, and will afford an outlet for sewers in the
streets on the northerl}' side of Bigelow hill.
Twenty-eight thousand three hundred and eightj'-four (28,384)
linear feet of sewers and surface drains have been built by the
cMy by day labor and contract, including the sewers of the boule-
vards, and four thousand six hundred and sixteen (4,616) linear
feet by private parties.
South Boston.
The sewer outlets along the southern shore of the peninsula at
H, I, K, N, P, and Q streets are all in very bad condition and should
be rebuilt. As the Park Department is engaged in building the
Strandway along this shore, the rebuilding and extending these
outlets must be done in connection with the work of the Park
Department. The latter department should pay the cost of
extensions beyond the present shore line, necessitated by the
Mrandway.
Steeet Department — Sewer Division. 325
The B and Seventh street outlet, from the junction of these
streets to South Bay, should be rebuilt, both on account of its insuf-
ficient size and defective condition. If funds can be made avail-
able the whole scheme, discussed in several previous reports, of
sewering Dorchester avenue between B and D streets, and rebuild-
ing D-street sewer, between Dorchester avenue and Eighth streets,
should be carried out in connection with work on the outlet. The
sewer in Seventh street, also, between B and D streets, should be
rebuilt, as it is in bad condition.
The outlet at Dorchester avenue and Dorr street will have to be
extended, as parties owning the flats are filling in, and have nearly
shut off the outlet. The Kemp-street outlet, which has been
broken down for years, should be rebuilt and made of sufficient
size to serve for an overflow for the South Boston intercepter.
The sewers in Dorchester avenue, between D and Dexter streets,
and in E street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, are broken and
settled and liable to fall in at any time ; they should be rebuilt at
once.
The sewer in Silver street, between C and D streets, is broken in
in so many places that the flow of sewage is obstructed and backs
into the cellars ; only temporary relief can be given by frequent
cleaning.
It should be rebuilt immediately, as the cost of cleaning it, in its
present condition, will soon exceed the cost of rebuilding.
The sewers in Dexter and Ellery streets are so badly broken
and settled that the cleaning-rods cannot be pushed through them,
houses are flooded, and complaints are numerous. They should
receive early attention, and be rebuilt upon a substantial foundation.
The sewer in Mercer street should be rebuilt of larger size, to
prevent further flooding on Mercer and Vale streets.
Many new catch-basins are asked for by the Paving Depart- '
ment, and many new manholes are needed on old sewers, as the
distance between existing manholes is too great to admit of proper
cleaning. A fund should be provided for building these in this
district, and also for repairing defective catch-basins and man-
holes.
A sewer in Dorchester avenue, between B and D streets, is de-
sirable, but not imperative, at the present time, and the D-street
sewer, between Dorchester avenue and Eighth street, should be
built, as it is settled so much as to form a poor outlet for the
lateral sewers connected with it.
Work done during 1895.
The Dorchester-avenue sewer, between Fort Point channel and
Broadway, has been rebuilt in a substantial manner.
Two thousand and ninety-seven (2,097) linear feet of sewers
were built by the city by day labor.
Dorchester.
The sewer outlet and overflow for the Dorchester intercepting
sewer, at the corner of Freeport and Shamrock streets, has been
326 City Document No. 29.
obstructed by filling in of the flats during the past year ; a large
wooden outlet sewer should be built at this point as soon as prac-
ticable and carried out upon the flats as far as the wharves now
extend. Any serious obstruction of this outlet will result in flood-
ing of cellars all along the line of the intercepter.
The Dorchester intercepter should be provided with a capacious
overflow outlet at or near Crescent avenue. This sewer is con-
trolled by a single regulator, situated at its junction with the main
at Mount Vernon street ; when the regulator shuts during storms
there is no relief for the sewer nearer than Glover's Corner, about
one mile away. All the sewers which connect with it between
these points are consequently backed up at such times, and re-
main so until the regulator opens again the connection with the main
intercepter. The building of this overflow sewer, which should
properly have been built in connection with the building of the
regulator, has now become a necessity, and should not be longer
delayed. Another locality which stands in pressing need of relief,
and the condition of which has been discussed in numerous pre-
vious annual 'reports, is the Gibson and Park streets district. So
greatly are the sewers overcharged with water during storms that
the manhole covers are thrown off, and the water spouts so high
from them as to scour out the hard frozen macadam surface of the
streets and make it necessary to fence off these places until the
streets can be repaired ; the sewers in these streets, together with
Tenean brook, drain a very large territory, and their capacity,
combined with that of the brook, is entirely inadequate to cany
off the water of a storm. Tenean brook, between Park street,
near Clayton street, and the Shawmut Branch of the Old Colony
Railroad at Geneva avenue, inclusive, should be largely deepened
and widened, and would then be an effective aid to the sewers.
The temporary plan for sewering Lauriat avenue and vicinity has
been adopted, the gravity main from Talbot avenue to Lyons
street begun, and land purchased for a pumping-station, on the
corner of Chapman avenue and Lyons street. The main sewer,
extending southerly and easterly from Lauriat avenue, to receive
the sewers of the Nelson and Corbet streets district, should be
built this year, and also as many of the laterals in the streets of
this district as possible.
This will provide for the house sewage of the district, but not
for the storm-water, for, inasmuch as all the sewage must be
pumped once at Lyons street and again at the pumping-station of
the main intercepter at the Calf Pasture, no surface-water can be
admitted into these sewers.
This region is now overflowed and the streets rendered impassable
at nearly every storm, owing to the inadequate size and obstructed
condition of the Canterbury branch of Stony brook. An extensive
improvement of this branch of Stony brook will have to be under-
taken by the city, and either the cost assessed upon the lands bene-
fitted, as elsewhere discussed, or borne by the city in general, in
the interest of the public health. This work cannot be much longer
postponed as the region is being rapidly settled, on account of the
proximity of the stations on the New York & New England Rail-
DORCHESTER-BROOK SEWER, — SHOWING NECESSITY OF BEING REBUILT.

road. The improvement must be started at least as far down
stream as the culvert on Walk Hill street, and extended to con-
nect with the drainage ditch dug by the Park Department around
Franklin field. Another region where a similiar improvement
must be undertaken in the near future is that drained by the Mat-
tapan brook ; a main sewer will also have to be built in this valley,
to connect with the Neponset Valley interceptor, when the latter
sewer reaches this locality. The building of the Neponset Valley
interceptor is being undertaken by the Metropolitan Sewerage
Commission, and none too soon, as no sewers can be built in those
portions of Dorchester and West Roxbury which slope towards the
Neponset and Charles rivers, until the intercepting sewer is read} 7
to carry away the sewage ; the presence of sewage could not be
tolerated in the mill ponds of the Neponset river.
The sewer system of Geneva avenue, Greenbriar street, Jose-
phine street, all laid out under Chapter 323 of the Acts of 1891 as
amended by Chapter 418 of the Acts of 1892, have been completed,
as have also those of Sections 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12 of the Blue
Hill-avenue boulevard ; Sections 1 and a part of 2 and 3 are under
contract and in progress, and the same is the case with Lauriat
avenue.
Four thousand one hundred and thirty-nine (4,139) linear feet
of sewers and surface drains have been built by the city by da}'
labor and contract, including the boulevard systems, and eighteen
thousand six hundred and fifty-two (18,652) linear feet by private
parties.
ROXBURY.
Dorchester-brook sewer, between Norfolk avenue and Clifton
street, a stone arched channel with very slight covering, has col-
lapsed, the arch having probably been lifted by internal pressure
from the volume of water which it had to carry in storms, as it
was much too small. It is about to be rebuilt of brick of much
larger size, and at a greater depth. The new channel will be a
continuation of the channel built during the last few years from
the South Bay up to the point in Norfolk avenue where the old
sewer formerly crossed it. The location will be changed aud will
lie in the centre of a new street recently laid out by the Board of
Street Commissioners, nearly parallel with Pontine street.
Numerous complaints of flooding have been made along the liDe
of this sewer up as far as Quincy street ; it is undoutedly too small
for the constantly increasing volume of water which it has to carry,
and will have to be rebuilt before long up to this point.
Complaints of flooding are received at every storm from the
residents of Orchard park and Yeoman street. Some good can be
done by building a surface drain in Orchard park, but the sewers
in Yeoman, Chadwick. and Hampden streets are all too small and
will have to be rebuilt or their capacity supplemented by new
sewers. Meanwhile the residents should protect themselves from
flooding by putting back-water traps upon their connections with
the sewers.
Guild row is another locality which frequently suffers from Moods
328 City Document No. 29.
due to the insufficient size of the sewers. The plan for extending
the large Vernon-street sewer to this locality should be carried out.
The projected sj'stem of sewers in Columbus-avenue extension
will afford an outlet for a sewer to relieve Notre Dame street,
which now suffers from the inadequacy of the sewer in this street
and Bragdon street.
A system of pipe-sewers is necessary to take the drainage from
the houses on both sides of the old channel of Stouy brook
between Huntington avenue and the Roxbury Crossing. (See
the Annual Report for 1892.)
Until these sewers are built, about 3,000 feet in all, Stony brook
will continue to be somewhat polluted with sewage.
The Harrison-avenue sewer, between Northampton and Eustis
streets, is settled so much that it cannot be cleaned without pump-
ing it out with a steam-pump. Although the rebuilding of this
sewer will be very expensive, it should not be put off any longer.
The following is a list of defective sewers requiring rebuilding :
Davenport street, from Columbus avenue to Tremont street.
Walpole street, from Columbus avenue to Tremont street.
Burke street, from Columbus avenue to Tremont street.
George street, from Clarence street to Dorchester brook.
George street, from Gerard to Magazine street.
Haskins street, from Vernon to Ruggles street.
Chesterfield street.
Orchard street, off. Yeoman street.
Winslow street, from Palmer to Eustis street.
Chadwick street, from Ambrose to Yeoman street.
Marsh field street, from Batchelder street to Norfolk avenue.
Hunneman street, from Brown street to Harrison avenue.
Harrison avenue, from Eustis to Northampton street.
Newcomb street, from Reed street to Harrison avenue.
Lenox street, from Sanford place to Harrison avenue.
Haviland street, from Parker street to Massachusetts avenue.
Work done during 1895.
Main sewers have been built in Massachusetts avenue, Gerard
street, and Boylston-street extension ; the latter a difficult and ex-
pensive sewer to build, the street consisting of a new gravel fill
upon deep beds of mud and peat. The sewer system of the Hunt-
ington-avenue boulevard is practically completed, with the excep-
tion of a few unimportant items, and also with the exception of
the work of strengthening the arches of the old stone channel of
Stony brook. The sewer system of Columbus-avenue boulevard
is also practically completed from Northampton to Ruggles street,
and is under contract up to the Roxbury Crossing.
The sewer system of the last section of the avenue, from a point
between Dimock and Brighton streets to Franklin park, is also
completed.
A section of the channel for Stony brook, recommended by the
Commission of 1886, has been built by the N.Y., N.H., & H. R.R.,
in connection with the raising of the tracks of its Providence
Street Department — Sewer Division. 329
Division from the bend of the brook at the railroad near Amory
street to a point 400 feet south of Boylston street, in West
Roxbury.
This channel is submerged nearly to the top of the arch, and
will remain so until the new channel is built at the low grade,
from the inlet chamber up to join it. A section of the West Rox-
bury low-level sewer, discussed in previous annual reports, was
built in connection with, and supported on the haunch of, the
Stony-brook channel, and paid for by the city, for the reason that
it could be built cheaper at this time and in this manner than at
any subsequent time.
Forty thousand seven hundred and sixty-two (40,762) linear
feet of sewers and surface drains were built by the city, by day
labor and contract, including the sewer systems of the boule-
vards mentioned, and four thousand one hundred and forty (4,140)
linear feet by private parties, including sewers and surface drains
built by the N. Y., IS. H., & H. R.R. in connection with raising
the tracks of the Providence Railroad.
West Roxbury.
There is a large region in the southern and western quarters
of Roslindale, part newly settled and part old, which is without
sewers, although fairly populous. This region embraces, among
the older streets, Hemlock, Bellevue avenue, etc., south-west of
Roslindale village ; also a number of new streets, which have
been graded off of Bellevue and Belgrade avenues, such as
Orange, Berry, Newburg, Aldrich, and Colburg streets. All of
these could be drained directly, or with short outlets, into the
West Roxbury trunk sewer. Another group, embracing South
Fairview, South Walter, and Brookfield streets, etc., would need
an outlet across the Dedham Branch Railroad, just west of Roslin-
dale Station, into the Brandon and Corinth streets sewer. This
outlet would eventually be continued across South street to accom-
modate Farquhar and Selwyn streets, and indeed all of that valley
south-west of Hewlett street, the sewer in which has already been
built to go into the existing sewer in Walter street.
Streets which have been laid out across the lowlands adjoining
Stony brook, in Jamaica Plain, such as New Keyes and Williams
streets, have needed sewerage for a long time, but could not be
accommodated because the existing s} T stem of sewers is too high
to be extended into them. If the West Roxbury low-level sewer
should be completed as far as Boylston Station during this coming
year, in connection with the building of the Columbus avenue
boulevard, as now seems probable, it will then be within a
reasonable distance of these streets, and it will then be possible
to extend it to them and sewer them at moderate cost.
Those valleys which lie between the Stony brook divide and
Charles river can be sewered as soon as the Neponset valley and
Mother brook intercepting sewer is completed. As the work of
building this sewer has been taken up by the Metropolitan Sewer-
age Commission, there seems to be a probability of being able to
sewer these districts properly in the near future.
330 City Document No. 29.
The streets in the vicinity of Florence, Sycamore, Ashland
street, etc., have been in need of sewerage for a long time ; a
branch of the Roslinclale main sewer will have to be extended to
this neighborhood from the northerly of the two intersections of
Washington and South streets.
Work done during 1895.
Work is in progress upon a sewer, upon the separate principle,
to extend from the Roslinclale main sewer at Franklin place to the
Insane Asylum on Walk Hill street. This sewer will afford house-
sewerage only for streets along its route, but cannot receive the
flow from catch-basins.
Seventeen thousand three hundred and fifty-eight (17,358) linear
feet of sewers and surface-drains have been built by the city
by day labor and contract, and six thousand seven hundred and
seventeen (6,717) linear feet b}* private parties, including sewers
and surface-drains built by the N. Y., N. H., & H. R.R., in
connection with raising the tracks of the Providence Division.
Main Drainage Works.
The amount of sewage handled at the Pumping-station is in-
creasing so rapidly from year to year that it is imperative that
some action should be taken towards increasing the high-duty
pumping capacity or keeping surface-water to a greater extent out
of the sewers. It was necessary the past 3 r ear to run the low-duty
pumps one-quarter of the time, which increased the coal consump-
tion to a much greater extent than would have been the case if
high-duty pumps only could have been used.
So large an amount of surface-water now gets to the Pumping-
station that, without the pumping capacity to handle it, it causes
the regulators to be closed longer than they should be, discharging
more through the overflows than is advisable, and keeping the
common sewers backed up more than is desirable.
Another thing that is working to the detriment of the system is
the continued postponement of building overflows for some of the
intercepting sewers, that have been recommended for a long time,
and are now an urgent necessity ; also the failure to extend
numerous overflows of the common sewers that are becoming
obstructed to an unsafe extent by the filling-in of the flats at their
outlets.
These overflows are spoken of in detail elsewhere in the report
under the districts in which they are. Mention was made in the
last annual report of the inadequate accommodations of the force
in charge of the main and intercepting sewers. Nothing has been
done towards putting their quarters on Massachusetts avenue in
shape. It should not be deferred longer.
The construction of the many connections with the Metropolitan
system in East Boston and Charlestown will add greatly to the
work of this force, which will have to be increased, and proper
buildings should be constructed for their use without delay.
At the Pumping-station the conditions are about the same as at
Street Department — Sewer Division. 331
the beginning of the year. The amount of sewage pumped has
increased materially, but the much-needed renewals and additions,
spoken of so repeatedly in past reports, have been held in abeyance
by the lack of funds. The force has been kept very busy on the
regular work and the incidental repairs absolutely necessary to
keep the pumps in operation.
Pump No. 4 was shut down while the boxes of the main and
beam shafts were rebabbited, necessitating jacking-up the engine,
at a cost exceeding $2,000. A few of the items most needing
attention are :
New sleeves for plunger-rods, general repairs on air-pumps, and
the substitution of rock-shafts for the present valve motion, all on
pumps Nos. 1 and 2 ; extensive repairs on the pump-well gates, a
duplicate main steam-pipe 'from the boiler-house, and two (2) new
cages at the filth-hoist.
There has been more sludge removed from the deposit-sewer
during the past year than ever before. Unusual quantities of
soft sludge were deposited in the lower sections of the sewer
during the hot months.
The following is some of the work accomplished by the outside
force in addition to the regular work : The two scows were put on
the blocks and thoroughly calked ; the sea-wall at the west shaft
was repointed over the whole face ; the high board fence around
the grounds was painted ; and a new machine for moving the
sludge in the north deposit- sewer is being constructed to replace
the old one that gave out.
The two sewer- boats, kept in the deposit-sewers, became useless
and were replaced by new ones. The sludge-tank is getting
beyond many more repairs, and it is only a question of a short
time before it will have to be replaced by a new one. The
flooring of the wharf will have to be renewed this year, as it is
hardly safe.
When this is done, it would be well to make the extension that
has been recommended in previous reports. Tests of the tunnel,
to determine its condition as regards deposits, give a better result
than has been shown for several years. Waves in the tunnel have
been noticed more frequently than usual ; and I would suggest the
placing of automatic gauges, at favorable points, to obtain data,
from which the cause might be determined.
At Moon Island, considerable work has been done outside of the
regular routine work. The walls in two divisions of the reservoir
were repointed, as also was considerable brick masonry on the
buildings and ventilators of the discharge-sewers. A large
amount of gravel was hauled to different points on this property,
to repair damage done to banks and roads by the storms, and for
the necessary filling in the cove.
An old building was remodelled for the use of the night-men
when off duty, to take the place of the inadequate quarters in the
gate-house.
Two old buildings at Squantum, that were unsafe, were razed.
I give the following statement of what is needed at Moon
Island and Squantum. It is imperative that some of this should
332 City Document No. 29.
be done this year, but all of it is necessary : the building of a boat
chamber on the outfall sewer ; the laying of a 6-inch cast-iron
water-pipe along the outfall sewer from the reservoir to the con-
nection chamber, with a hydrant at each manhole, for use in wash-
ing off the tie-rods and the upper sewer, to prevent odors ; the
complete renewal of upper staging in 6-foot gallery in each
division of the reservoir, and also of all tie-rods and cross-pieces ;
the building of a new barn and shed or storehouse at Moon
Island ; the building of a new shed or storeroom (temporary) at
east shaft ; the laying of a new floor at the lower gate-house ;
the removal of iron gates in the outfall sewer, for repairing, and
also for renewal of all anchor-bolts, which latter work cannot be
done until the boat chamber mentioned is built ; pointing and
repairing of walls in two divisions of the reservoir, and on the
buildings ; setting of gauges at east shaft and at connection cham-
ber ; building a stone wall and repairing roadway at Squantum ;
painting both iron and wooden fences at reservoir, and improved
Sewer assessments have been made by this division for the year
ending January 31, 1896, in accordance with Chapter 402 of the
Acts of 1892, and amendments thereto, to the amount of
$202,110.06, and; the bills have been deposited for collection with
the City Collector.
Bills for sewer assessments, amounting to $3,557.98, have also
been deposited for collection, representing those estates assessed
under Chapter 456 of the Acts of 1889, and amendments thereto,
which have made connection with the public sewers during the
year ; making the total amount of assessments deposited for col-
lection $205,668.04.
There remain on the books of this division, at 5 per cent, inter-
est, $32,864.35, representing the assessments under the Acts of
1889, and amendments thereto, for these estates which have not
been connected with the sewers for which they were assessed, and
bills for which will be deposited for collection as the connections
are made. This sum represents 24.8 per cent, of the total assess-
ments made under those Acts.
Entrance fees to the amount of $4,474.07 have been collected
from estates upon which no sewer assessment was ever paid,
in accordance with Chapter 36, Section 10, of Revised Ordinances.
Permits have been issued to licensed drain -layers to make 3,071
connections with the public sewers, and the work done under these
permits has been inspected and a record of same made on the
plans of this division.
The following tables and statements will show the amount of
money expended and work done by this division during the year :

Street Department — Street-Watering Division. 413
Income.
During the year the Division watered in front of 127 school-
houses, 9 police-stations, and 39 engine-houses. The Board of
Police and the Fire Department agreed to pay for the service, as
they have formerly done, but the School Board refuses, on the
ground that they have no appropriation for the purpose, although
they did pay for such service in 1891 and 1892. It is customary
for departments rendering service for other branches of the City
Government to charge for the work done, as appropriations are
made for specific public work, and each department has money
or should have it for service which they are willing to accept or
request. Why the School Board should refuse to pay our fail-
charge is not altogether apparent.
The following sums were charged for street-watering, and bills
for the same deposited with the City Collector during the financial
year ending January 31, 1896 :
Fire Department .
Board of Police .
Homeoepathic Hospital
Louisburg square

The above summary shows that 112 carts watered 301.92 miles
of macadam streets this year. Last year 108^ carts, hired by the
city, 13 J working under contract, watered 292.16 miles.

City Document No. 29.
The cost of the day work this year, exclusive of supervision,
was $214 per mile, or $64,532.75, against $229 per mile for the
day work done last year, and $575 per mile for the contract fresh-
watering service in the Back Bay, and $460 per mile in the South
End, and a total expense of $74,296.67. Fresh water was used
entirely this year.

The above comparison is one of the most satisfactory evidences
of the good results accomplished by the division this year. To it
attention is specially directed.
The cost for watering in the Back Bay, with fresh water, in
1894 under contract was $575 per mile, while this year the same
service was more efficiently rendered at an expense of $424 per
mile.
The expense in the South End last year for watering was $460
per mile for fresh water, $630 per mile for salt water, while this
year the watering was done under day -work at an expense of $277
per mile.

This represents the watering done upon paved streets for and at
the expense of the abutters ; it is not compulsory, resting entirely
with the abutter whether or not he shall have it done. The divis-
ion's concern in the premises is simply to check exorbitant charges,
which i4 is but fair to state never occur, and to otherwise protect
the rights of citizens and the city.
The table shows that 21 carts watered 36.21 miles of paved
streets, which is an increase of 1£ carts and 8.28 miles over last;

This summary shows the amount of watering rendered free of
cost to the city by the contractors for the franchise of watering for
the abutters. They agree to give this gratuitous service in return
for the exclusive privilege of soliciting parsonage within defined
street-watering districts with the right of using the city's stand-
pipes and water. The work shown in the above table would cost
the division about $2,000 to perform.

Increase.
An increase of 122 standpipes since 1891.
The carts used for street-watering this year were almost entirely
of the improved style of manufacture.
The division owns seven watering carts which were this year loaned
to contractors who furnished horses and driver, and watered the
streets at the rate of $4.50 per day, the division receiving thereby
50 cents per day for the use of the cart. This arrangement was
deemed more profitable than providing horses and a driver for the
carts. Two of the carts have been transferred to the Paving Divi-
sion for use on new macadam work.
The division is indebted to Mr. J. W. Smith, the Local Fore-
cast Official, for the receipt of daily weather reports which
assisted us very much in the working of the carts.
To the Water Board also we owe our acknowledgments for the
assistance rendered us in supplying standpipes, and in turning on
and off the water.
