Hon. Patrick A. Collins,
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 1902 is herewith respectfully sub-
mitted.
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, and
us amended in 1895, the several divisions of the depart-
ment being as follows :
Central Office.
Boston and Cambridge
Bridges.
Bridge Division.
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 and the Boston and Cambridge Bridges, is in
charge of a Deputy Superintendent.
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.
City Document No. 40.

mendation as he may deem proper to the City Council.
The maintenance appropriations, as passed by the City Coun-
cil, were as follows :

Street Department. 3
merits.) Loans under this Act previous to 1901 were out-
side the debt limit, but by chapter 199 of the Acts of 1901
the city was empowered to borrow the money inside the debt
limit. From this fund new streets, assessable on the abutting
property, are built. The amount expended the past year was :
Sewers 155,706 63

Total $153,196 61
Fifth. — In 1895 an Act was passed by the Legislature,
and amended in 1898, entitled " An Act to provide for the
Laying-out and Construction of Certain Highways in the
City of Boston " (commonly known as the Boulevard Act).
(Chapter 334 of 1895; chapter 236 of 1898.) Loans under
this Act are outside the debt limit. The amount expended
this year was as follows :
Streets $23,767 82
Sixth. — In 1895 an Act was passed by the Legislature
entitled " An Act relative to the establishment of a New
Ferry Landing in the City of Boston." (Chapter 435.)
Under this Act the loan is outside the debt limit. The
amount expended this year was $10,639.71.
Seventh. — In 1897 an Act was passed by the Legislature,
entitled " An Act Relative to the Sewerage Works of the
City of Boston." (Chapter 426.) Under this Act the loan
is outside the debt limit. From this fund " Sewerage
Works" are built.
The amount expended the past year was . $1,145,141 25

and accepted by the City Council entitled "An Act Rela-
tive to Laying-Out and Constructing Highways in the City
of Boston." (Chapter 478.) Under this Act the loan is
inside the debt limit. From this appropriation all street and
sewerage works construction in highways laid out previous

From the moneys provided, as shown in the preceding
schedule, the mainte nance force of the department has been
permanently and constantly employed during the year, and
large amounts of work have been performed by contract, as
required by the provisions of many of the Acts providing
loans for expenditure by this department.
Specific features of the work are referred to under the
headings which follow, and the work of the divisions is fully
shown in the appendices attached to this report.
Street Department.
Dumps.
The problem calling for immediate attention bjr this
department to-day is that of suitable dumps, and, as the four
largest divisions, Paving, Sanitary, Sewer, and Street-Clean-
ing, are very materially affected, both as to the prosecution
of work and the increase in expenditures caused by the
scarcity of dumps, too much cannot be said on this point.
Work on down-town streets is badly handicapped on account
of the long hauls necessary to dispose of surplus excavations,
both in the Paving and Sewer Divisions, as in some cases
the surplus must be carted to East Boston, South Boston,
and even Cambridge, thereby entailing a great expense.
In the Sanitary Division, the collections north of Massa-
chusetts avenue are hauled partly to the dumping scow at
Fort Hill Wharf, and those of Charlestown and part of the
North and West Ends to Cambridge, where a charge for
dumping is made aggregating something like $2,000 per year.
The Street-Cleaning Division finds it very difficult to dis-
pose of street sweepings, as there are practically no available
dumping places.
A remedy for this condition of affairs would be the plac-
ing of a dumping scow at the foot of Charles River avenue,
and another at the South End yard, Albany street.
If a suitable site for a Street Department yard for the two
last named divisions could be procured and a plant estab-
lished, the cost of collection and disposal of ashes, street
dirt and offal in the Dorchester district could be mate-
rially reduced and much better service rendered the district.
A dumping wharf and scow should be located in East Boston
and Dorchester, in order to deliver the offal of these districts
to the New England Sanitary Product Company, under con-
tract with the city, for the final disposition of the offal of
these districts.
Snow.
I desire to call your attention to the necessity of providing
a separate appropriation for the removal of snow.
This work cannot be classed as a part of the maintenance
work of this department ; it is rather a special task, and the
cost of performing it is dependent entirely on the weather.
The cost the past year was something like -$175,000, and
was paid for from the maintenance appropriations of the
Paving and Street-Cleaning Divisions.
An appropriation could wisely be made for this work, and
the unexpended balance transferred to any other purpose at
the end of the year.
City Document No. 40.
Bituminous Macadam.
About 9,600 square yards of this surfacing have been laid
both on level streets and streets with steeper grades, and has,
so far, given excellent satisfaction. It is less slippery than
asphalt, is easily cleaned and kept clean, and has been peti-
tioned for by many owners and occupants of houses in the
residential streets.
Team owners and drivers prefer it to asphalt, and on
grades varying from 1 to 12 per cent., where it has been laid,
no fault has been found.
Street Openings.
The department has taken a decided stand against granting
permits to open for any purpose newly paved or re-surfaced
streets, and, except in cases of the most urgent necessity, no
permits have been granted, and then only on condition that the
work be replaced by a competent contractor under bond with
this department, the expense of the work being borne by the
party making the opening. This course, properly pursued, I
believe, wrill lead to a better condition of our street surfaces,
and will add much to the looks and much-sought-for cleanly
condition of our thoroughfares.
Street Litter.
The carelessness of the general public adds much to the
labor of keeping our streets in presentable condition, and if
the ordinances governing the throwing of paper, etc., into
our streets and public alleys could be enforced to the extent
of prosecuting habitual offenders, the people at large would
be awakened to a sense of their duty.
The passing of handbills, pamphlets, etc., by itinerant
venders has been practically stopped, and if the throwing into
the streets of newspapers and fruit parings and sweepings of
store dirt and house dirt, could be remedied, the good effect
would be immediately appreciated by all.
Boston and Cambridge Bridges.
To my fellow commissioner, Mr. W. J. Marvin of Cam-
bridge, has fallen the greater part of the work of supervising
the conduct of these bridges, and too much credit cannot be
given him for his economical administration and attention to
the duties imposed by statute.

$16-4,082.13. 111,917.10.
The Shawmut-avenue bridge, over the Boston & Albany
and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads, should be
entirely rebuilt at as early a date as possible, in the opinion
of the City Engineer. Further repairs are useless, and, as
this is one of the main thoroughfares leading south from the
heart of the down- town district, the necessity of the work be-
comes apparent. As mentioned, in the report of the previous
years, the Congress-street and Mt. Washington avenue bridges
should be widened, on account of the great increase in ship-
ping in the South bay. A petition is being circulated among
the wharf owners requesting the national government to
take steps to compel the city to rebuild Congress street and
to rebuild or abolish Mt. Washington-avenue bridge.
Much work in the way of repairs, replacing rolling stock,
etc., is necessary to bring this division to the standard of
efficiency demanded by the travelling public, and increase in
the maintenance appropriations has been asked for, which, if
granted, will allow the department to proceed with this work.

Upon assuming control of the department this division was
thoroughly inspected by me, with a view to improving the
conditions of the service, of which many complaints had
been made.
Experts carefully examined the plant and reported at
length, and work was commenced along the lines laid down
by them.
The boats, buildings, piers, etc., were overhauled, repaired,
and painted, and the service so much improved as to cause
general commendation from the travelling public.
Much remains to be done, and, with the installing of the
various shops at the ferries, repairs can be made by the
division force promptly and with little inconvenience to
travel.
City Document No. 40.
PAVING DIVISION.
Expenditures.
Maintenance. Specials.
$902,136.05. $33,451.11.
The paving of down-town streets has been carried on as
far as the appropriation would admit, and pitch joints substi-
tuted for cement grout on account of the many complaints
as to the slipperiness of the latter form of joint. Seven
ledges have been in operation during the year, and many
macadam streets have been built and resurfaced.
Work has progressed on Columbia road and Bennington
street, and Blue Hill avenue has been built to Mattapan.
The South End Wharf Paving No. 2 will be rebuilt the
coming year, and Rutherford avenue, Devens and Bow
streets will be finished. Many of the suburban streets have
been resurfaced, and the force of the division has cooperated
with that of the Street-Cleaning Division in the scraping
of gutters, etc.
SANITARY ^ DIVISION.
Expenditures.
Maintenance. Specials.
$675,319.64. $50,000.
The cost of collecting and removing house dirt, ashes, and
offal is greatly increased by the lack of" suitable dumping
places. Attention has been previously called to this condi-
tion, and steps must be taken to remedy the trouble at once.
The system of collecting and removing offal and ashes
by contract should be abolished, and, to this end, yards
should be established by this division in Dorchester, West
Roxbury, and Brighton.
The service under the contract system is unsatisfactory,
and the residents of these districts are demanding a change.
STREET-CLEANING DIVISION.
Expenditures.
Maintenance .... $392,802.09
The push-cart patrol system should be extended as much
as possible and provision made for the replacing of the roll-
ing stock and horses of this division.
Street Department. 9
As is well known, when this division was organized in
1891 the carts, harnesses, horses, tools, etc., were furnished
from the Sanitary Division, and sufficient money has never
been provided to replace any of this worn-out stock.
In the preceding pages the attention of the public has been
called to the littering of the streets by the throwing of
papers, fruit parings, etc., and the remedy suggested, the
cooperation of our citizens, would result in more sightly
looking street surfaces.
STREET- WATERING DIVISION.
Expenditures.
$160,147.25
The most noticeable feature in the work of this division
has been the increase in the number of miles of streets
watered and the decrease in the appropriations for doing the
work, and in order to properly water all public streets
money should be provided in proportion to the number of
miles of new streets constructed annually.
SUMMARY OF WORK DONE.
Bridge Division.
Overhauled and thoroughly repaired the following bridges,
viz:
Congress-street, Cottage-street, Dover-street, Federal-street,
Mt. Washington-avenue, North Beacon-street, Warren-street,
Boylston-street over Boston & Albany Railroad, Columbus-
avenue, Shawmut-avenue, West Fourth-street, and West
Newton-street.
Ferry Division.
Seven ferry-boats have been running on full time during
the entire year, and over 500,000 more passengers were
carried than in the preceding year.
The entire plant of the division has been examined by
three experts, and a large amount of new and necessary work
done.

APPENDIX A.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE BRIDGE DIVISION.
927 and 928 Tremont Building,
Boston, February 1, 1903.
Hon. James Donovan,
Superinte?ident of Streets, Boston:
Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit herewith the annual
report of the expenditures, income, and operations of the
Bridge Division of the Street Department for the financial
year ending January 31, 1903.
The total number of bridges is 153, not including culverts.
Eight of these, namely, Harvard, Canal, Prison Point, West
Boston, Essex street, Cambridge, Western avenue to Cam-
bridge, and North Harvard street, all connecting Boston and
Cambridge, are in charge of two commissioners, one of whom
is appointed by the Mayor of the City of Boston, and the
other by the Mayor of the City of Cambridge.
One hundred and thirteen bridges are supported wholly or
in part by the City of Boston, 28 of these being tide-water
bridges provided with a draw. Forty bridges are supported
wholly by railroad corporations.
There are 13 important tide-water bridges, namely, Mt.
Washington avenue, operated by hand-power ; Maiden,
Charlestown, Summer street, Chelsea north, Dover street,
Federal street and Meridian street, operated by electricity ;
Warren, Broadway, Congress street, L street and Chelsea
south, operated by steam-power.
The force employed on the tide-water bridges are all work-
ing on an 8-hour basis, which necessitated the employment
of 9 men on each of the 12 bridges, and 12 men on the
Charlestown bridge, making a total force of 120 men
employed on the 13 principal draw-bridges. This makes an
increase of 20 men, entailing an additional expense of approx-
imately $16,000.
The different inland bridges have been repaired at various
4 City Document No. 40.
times, and have all been kept in a safe condition for public
travel, all reported defects being promptly remedied.
The Shawmut-avenue bridge, over the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad, Providence Division, and the
Boston and Albany Railroad, should be rebuilt. The City
Engineer has called the attention of this department to the
dangerous condition of this bridge. Several times during
the past three years needed repairs have been made in order
to make it safe for travel. Early in 1902 it was found
necessary to remove the iron parapets, and after this had
been done on one side of the bridge a thorough examination
was made by the City Engineer, who reported that the bridge
needed rebuilding in the interest of public safety, and
requested that it be made safe, temporarily, for public travel.
This has been done, and an appropriation should be provided
to rebuild this bridge, as further repairs would be a useless
expenditure of money.
Respectfully submitted,
J. P. Lomasney,
Deputy Superintendent.

APPENDIX B.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE FERRY DIVISION.
North Ferry, East Boston, February 1, 1903.
Mr. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Dear Sir, — I herewith submit the annual report of the
expenditures, income, and operation of the Ferry Division,
for the financial year ending January 31, 1903, also the
amount of property in the care of the division and the con-
dition of the same.
Upon assuming charge of this division, an investigation
was made of the condition of the boats, piers, and buildings
by a commission of three disinterested men, who reported
that the whole plant needed a general overhauling and reno-
vation, especially the machinery on the boats, and in addition
to their recommendations -it was found that there were many
other matters that needed attention, which have been attended
to.
Two new shafts have been put in the " General Hancock,"
her main deck calked, the dynamo and electric lights taken
out of the " Revere " and transferred to her.
The "D. D. Kelly" was put on the railway and her hull
patched and cleaned and main deck calked.
The main deck of the " Hugh O'Brien " was calked.
The " Revere " was put on the railway and her hull patched
and cleaned and rudders straightened.
The " Governor Russell " was put on the railway and four
new propeller blades put on.
The " Noddle Island " and " General Sumner " were put
on the railway and their hulls calked and metalled for the
first time. Both main decks were also calked.
In addition to the above work, the machinery and wood-
work of all the boats except the " Revere " were thoroughly
overhauled and repaired and painted from the hull up.
26 City Document No. 40.
The coal-pocket at South Ferry, East Boston side, was
seriously damaged by fire in September, 1901, and cost to
repair in 1902 about $2,000. Proper ventilation has been
put into this pocket now, and the chances of it taking fire
again have been greatly reduced.
In the future a first-class grade of coal should be purchased,
as experience teaches that the better the coal the less liability
there is of spontaneous combustion 'and better results for
steam purposes. If the price of coal should advance very
considerably during the coming year on account of strikes it
will hamper this division greatly, as we use about 12,000 tons
during the year, which must be paid from the maintenance
fund.
Speaking of the increase in expenditures, it is well to add
that the cost of supplies (other than coal) has advanced
almost one-third in the past few years, and on account of the
many improved facilities, running extra boats, etc., a large
amount of extra supplies has necessarily been used.
Steam heating fixtures have been extended so as to practi-
cally abolish the use of stoves in the division, something long
looked for, as heat from stoves for our extensive ferry plant,
besides being very dangerous to life and property, was
extremely unsatisfactory, and the cause of much complaint
from the citizens.
Considerable complaint was made at the beginning of the
year on account of the unclean condition of the head-houses
and boats, and an extra force was put at work to remedy the
trouble.
The working force (all the employees of the division) have
been placed on an eight-hour basis, to comply with the law.
Because of these reasons the regular force of the division
had to be increased, and a careful examination of the work of
this division will show more work done during the past year
than ever before, and the plant in good working condition,
with the exception of the middle pier at the North Ferry,
East Boston side, which should be replaced as soon as
possible during the year, as it is now in a dangerous
condition, and the three piers at the South Ferry, Boston
side, which should be replaced by new ones at once, and the
head-house should be moved to one side, as at the other
landings.
The increase in receipts over 1901 was $6,310.26, and
there were over 500,000 more passengers carried than in the
preceding year.

Bituminous Macadam.
A new form of pavement has been introduced during the
year known as Warren's bituminous macadam. It consists
of a foundation of crushed stone about four inches in depth,
rolled in the same manner as ordinary macadam, over this is
spread layers of bituminous cement for the purpose of hold-
ing the foundation ami uniting it with the wearing surface.
T:ie wearing surface consists of about two inches of stone,
which vary in size from one inch to a fine powder, carefully
proportioned in order to give as great a compactness as pos-
sible, and the least number of voids; heated and thoroughly
mixed with bituminous cement, and rolled by a heavy steam
road-roller.
The advantages claimed for this pavement are that it is
suitable for all grades, as it affords an excellent foothold for
horses, is noiseless and free from mud and dust, and is not
affected by the moisture in the atmosphere. The streets sur-
faced with bituminous macadam are:
Hancock street, Mt. Vernon street to Cambridge street.
Boivdoin street, Ashburton place to Cambridge street.
Massachusetts avenue, Harvard bridge across Beacon street.
Belvidere street, Massachusetts avenue to Falmouth street.
Tremont street, Phillips street to St. Alphonsus street.

One hundred and forty-two of the above-mentioned permits
were granted for the construction of artificial stone sidewalks,
and an inspector was specially assigned to this work.
All bonds, excepting those of corporations, are guaranteed
by some one of the surety companies authorized to do business
in the State of Massachusetts.
There are in force 1,118 such bonds, and there have been
692 bonds retired during the year.
There have been 19,742 notices sent to the various fore-
men during the year, directing them to repair defects in the
public streets which had been reported by the police, inspec-
tors and others: also, 4,808 notices to departments, corpora-
tions and private parties to repair the streets where they had
received permits for excavations, and the work of resur-
facing had been improperly done, and to owners of estates
where coal-holes or sidewalk lights were defective.
By request of the Chief Engineer of the Paving Division
there have been 603 notices sent to departments and corpora-
tions calling for various changes in their structures on account
of street improvements. In each case permits have been
granted allowing them to do the work.
Seven thousand three hundred and sixty-two notices have
been sent to departments, corporations and owners of abutting
estates on streets where improvements were about to be made.
Inspectors.
With the exception of those required at the office for
emergency work, inspectors are located at the various yards,
and report each day by mail to this office regarding defects
in the streets on their routes. Notices are sent to the proper
parties directing that these reports be made, and the inspec-
tor is notified to see that the repairs are properly attended
to.
Inspectors have been detailed to serve with and at the
expense of corporations excavating in the streets, and make
daily and weekly reports on the progress of the work.
The change in emergency permits directed by the super-
intendent of streets — viz., the addition of a coupon to be
mailed to this office at once when the permit is given out
to the workmen — went into effect on November 17, and the
Street Department — Paving Division.
85
results are very satisfactory, as it enables us to have a
better knowledge of emergency openings than we have had
heretofore.
Permits have been granted to set 752 new telegraph and
telephone poles during the year, and for the removal of 118.
Street Numbering.
During the year five whole streets were numbered, 17
whole streets renumbered, 524 parts of streets numbered,
949 estates numbered, 332 estates on which numbers were
changed, and 3,403 metallic figures were supplied. The
appended table explains the work done by districts :

APPENDIX E.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE SEWER DIVISION.
30 Tkemont Street, Boston, February 1, 1903.
Mr. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit report of the expendi-
tures, income and operation of the Sewer Division for the
financial year ending January 31, 1903, together with recom-
mendations as to the future development of the sewer
system. N
The work of the Sewer Division is as follows :
The preparation of plans for sewerage works, the construc-
tion and maintenance of all drainage works, including the
investigation of complaints in regard to defective drainage,
the granting of permits for sewer connections and the prepa-
ration of plans for the assessment of the cost of construction ;
also the examination of the plans of other corporations/ pro-
posing to construct works in public streets, with reference to
their probable interference with sewerage works, and approval
of lines and grades of private streets with reference to the
requirements of this division.
In the last annual report the changes in the Boston sewer
system which will be necessitated by the creation of the
South Metropolitan District, and the building by the State of
the high level sewer, were fully discussed.
These changes involve large additional expenses to the
City of Boston in the building of branch intercepting sewers,
and the conversion of the existing combined system into a
separate system throughout the twenty-one square miles of
the city's territory which is now included in the South Met-
ropolitan District.
To meet these expenses the following bill has been intro-
duced by His Honor the Mayor :
Street Department — Sewer Division. 101
(Chap. 383.)
An Act Relative to Separate Systems op Dkainage.
JBe it enacted, etc., as follows :
Section 1. The owner of every estate abutting on a public
way in which a drain, namely, a conduit for surface or storm
water and such waters as shall be specified by the state board of
health ; and a sewer, namely, a conduit for all other waters and
for sewage, all such other waters to be considered sewage, shall
have been provided by a city or town, and the owner of any other
estate, using any such drain or sewer, shall make or change the
plumbing of his estate so that the waters shall be kept separate
from the sewage ; and shall, as directed by the officer having
charge of the maintenance of sewers in such city or town, make
connections for, and conduct, the waters into the drain and the
sewage into the sewer.
Sect. 2. The owner of every estate whose sewage is to be
taken into any metropolitan sewer shall hereafter, in plumbing
his estate, so arrange the plumbing as to keep the waters separate
from the sewage, and shall, as directed by said officer, make
connections for, and conduct, the waters into the drain and the
sewage into the sewer ; but where only one conduit shall have
been provided in the street by the city or towD, such owner shall,
as directed by said officer, construct said connections into the
street and connect them with the conduit so provided, and the
city or town shall provide the other conduit and all necessary
connections with either conduit.
Sect. 3. Any city or town using any metropolitan sewer may,
in any year, and shall in any year specified by the officer or board
having charge of said sewers, expend one-twentieth of one
per cent, of its taxable valuation, to be met by loan outside the
debt limit, in the construction, in connection with said sewers, of
branch intercepting sewers, connections of existing sewers with
intercepting sewers, branch drains, sewers or drains in any street
where one thereof only shall have been built, and the necessary
connections aforesaid.
Sect. 4. The supreme judicial court and the superior court
shall have jurisdiction in equity to enforce the provisions of this
act.
Sect. 5. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
This department will proceed during the coming year to
carry out the provisions of this act, if passed, plans having
already been made for that purpose. The first work which
will be done, in all probability, will be to build the high level
branch intercepter, which will afford relief to the long-
suffering Talbot avenue district, and also to separate storm
water from the sewage in this same district.
102 City Document No. 40.
These two measures should effect a complete remedy for
the evils which have so long existed in this district.
A general statement of the most important work done by
the division during the year, accompanied by recommen-
dations as to the work required in the immediate future, is
given in the succeeding pages, and is classified according to
districts.
South Boston.
There have been built in this district during the past
year 556.75 linear feet of brick sewer, 277 linear feet of
wooden sewer, 4,264.25 linear feet of pipe sewer, 495.75
linear feet of brick surface drain, 2,443.36 linear feet of pipe
surface drain, and 579 linear feet of house drain, making a
total of 8,616.11 linear feet, or 1.63 miles.
The principal works completed are :
Columbia road, between Vale and G streets. Work was
carried on throughout the entire year, and this portion, with
the exception of the Vale-street outlet, can be said to be
completed and ready for street surfacing.
L-street outlet. This outlet takes the storm water from
about forty acres in the vicinity of Broadway, K street, L
street, and East First street, and when finished will abate
the flooding of cellars, which was of such frequent occur-
rence in this district. The old overflow which this replaces
had become entirely blocked up, and had to be extended to
the L-street bridge for an outlet. A departure was made
here in building a 5-foot sewer in soft ground by using
square timbers, cut in suchwise that when laid to line they
formed a true circle 5 feet in diameter, thus forming a flexible
and substantial sewer at comparatively small cost.
West Seventh street, between B and D streets. This
sewer was built to take the place of an old wooden sewer
constructed here many years ago. The old sewer was found
to be broken down and filled with gravel and other refuse to
such an extent that it cut off the flow from about thirty-five
acres of well built up territory, and left the street in dan-
gerous condition for travel.
East First street, between P and Q streets. This 5-foot
overflow was built to take the storm water from the system
of common sewers in the vicinity of P street, Second street,
and Third street, and has provided a means of overcoming
the flooding of cellars which often occurred in this locality.
Sewers have also been built in East First street, between
H and Vicksburg streets ; Old Harbor street, between Eighth
and Ninth streets; East Ninth street, between L and K
Street Department — Sewer Division. 103
streets ; Foundry street ; Mitchell street ; East Ninth and
Dunham streets, between Mercer and Old Harbor streets.
Private parties have built a sewer in Midway street; and
Bowen street, between E and F streets, and E street, be-
tween Fargo street and Summer street extension, have been
built "under the Act."
Considerable dredging has been done in South Boston
during the year at the mouths of the B and Seventh streets
overflow, the Kemp-street outlet, the N-street outlet, and the
I-street outlet.
Recommendations.
D street, from Dorchester avenue to Seventh street. This
sewer is too small, is very badly settled out of line and grade
and greatly overcharged in time of storm, resulting in the
flooding of many cellars in the immediate vicinity. It
should be rebuilt at once, at a greater depth, of large size, and
on pile foundations.
F street, between West First and West Second streets.
This is a very old single ring brick sewer, and has had to be
repaired many times recentlj7, owing to breaks having been
found after the falling in of the street surface.
A street, between West First and Congress streets. This
is an old wooden and brick sewer, which has broken down in
several places during the past year, cutting off the flow from
the large warehouse district in the vicinity of A and Con-
gress streets, resulting in considerable damage. Temporary
repairs have been made from time to time, but an extensive
system of new sewers and drains is essential before the sani-
tary conditions here can be called satisfactory.
Vale-street outlet. This outlet is a small wooden conduit,
badly broken and filled up and should be replaced by a
6-foot circular brick conduit from Columbia road to tide-
water.
H-street outlet. This should be carried out to deeper
water, and stone wing walls built to protect the same.
K-street outlet. This should be extended out to deep
water, and a system of wing walls constructed, as proposed
for H street.
N-street outlet. This outlet should be cleaned out from
its mouth to the northerly line of Columbia road, as it rap-
idly fills up with sand from the adjoining beach.
A tliens street, between D and F streets. This is a small
wood and slate affair, about half filled with sludge, which is
not easily accessible and emits a very bad odor.
104 City Document No. 40.
Columbia road. There still remains to be constructed in
the portion of Columbia road in South Boston a large
amount of sewerage works. The part between I and Q
streets has not been touched, with the exception of a small
sewer between K and M streets. In the portion along Old
Colony avenue, from Mount Vernon street to Vale street,
nothing has been done, and work should be started here in
the immediate future, as there is considerable sewerage and
drainage work to be done before the road can be surfaced.
The outlets for this portion of Columbia road can be built
within the boundaries of the old location of the Old Colony
railroad, and this work can be deferred until some future
time, thus turning the road over to the Paving Division at
the earliest practicable moment.
East Boston.
There have been built in this district during the past year
2,001.03 linear feet pipe sewer, 534.23 linear feet brick sewer,
172.76 linear feet 6-inch pipe house drain, and 2,171.94 linear
feet pipe surface drain, making a total of 4,879.96 linear
feet, or 0.92 miles.
The most of this was building house sewers and surface
drains in Bennington-street boulevard, between Moore and
Trumbull streets, building surface water drain in Saratoga
street, from old culvert to Wordsworth street, to relieve
flooding of cellars on Wordsworth street, and building sewer
in W alley street and Farrington avenue.
Recommendations.
East Boston low level sewer. This will be an outlet for
part of Bennington-street boulevard, and will provide for the
drainage of the low lying part of Breed's Island. It will
also provide an outlet for Moore street intercepter when built.
It will extend from the Metropolitan pumping station at Ad-
dison and Chelsea streets to Belle Isle inlet.
Moore street intercepter. This will intercept the sewage
now emptying into Boston harbor at Moore and Coleridge
streets and a part of Bennington street, and will connect
with East Boston low level sewer at Trumbull and Kneeler
streets.
The building of the low level sewer and Bennington-street
boulevard on the separate system will prevent the sewage
from the whole of Breed's Island from flowing into Boston
harbor, and will necessitate the building of surface drains in
Leyden, Gladstone, Walley, Farrington, Ford and Breed
Street Department — Sewer Division. 105
streets, and outlet for house sewer in that part of Ley den
street lying between Breed and Boardman streets.
Chelsea and Bennington streets, between Eagle square and
Putnam streets. Many complaints have been received dur-
ing the past four or five years regarding the flooding of cel-
lars on these and adjacent streets in time of storm. The
sewer here is inadequate in size and a supplementary sewer,
of 24-inch pipe laid in the street and intercepting the catch-
basins and house drains on one side between the outlet and
Putnam street is very desirable.
Curtis street, between Chelsea and Bremen streets. This
sewer is in a leaky condition and the ground through which
it runs is saturated with petroleum from the oil. work in the
vicinity. This passes into the sewer and thence into the out-
let in Chelsea street. The outlet is connected with the
Metropolitan sewer in Chelsea street, near the Metropolitan
pumping station. Owing to the danger of an explosion
from the gas coming from the oil, the Metropolitan Sewer
Commission has ordered this connection with their sewer to
be sealed off, and the sewage runs out into Chelsea creek.
Until the sewer in Curtis street is rebuilt the sewage will
not be allowed to flow into the Metropolitan sewer.
Montgomery avenue. This is a side hill street, and to put
a sewer in the street low enough to drain cellars which may
be built on the low side would require the sewer to be at a
depth of about 17 feet. A cheaper method, if there are no land
damages, would be to put the sewer along the back line of
the lots on the down-hill side of the street, and build a
shallow sewer in the street for the houses on the high side.
Neither of these sewers need to be more than 7 feet deep,
and the one on the back line of the lots would not average
more than 6.5 feet deep. The house of the petitioner, and
all other houses at present on the street, are, with one excep-
tion, on the down-hill side. If the owners are willing to
release a right of way from the sewer, a sewer on the down-
hill side to accommodate all existing houses on this side
should be built.
East Boston Parkway, from Bennington street to Boston,
Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad. This has been petitioned
for, and when built must be on the separate system. There
will be a house sewer on each side of' the Parkway, with
outlet down Frankfort and Prescott streets to Metropolitan
sewer.
Porter street overflow outlet, from Bremen street to Bos-
ton, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad. This was an old wooden
sewer originally built on piles. The wooden structure has

now almost disappeared, having been broken out by ice*
There have been numerous complaints from time to time
regarding sewage being deposited on the flats from this over-
flow, but the only sewage coming from it is in time of storm,
when the Metropolitan sewer is filled and the sewage from
the Porter street sewer overflows. The sewage is then so
diluted by storm-water that it can cause but little nuisance.
There seems to be no necessity for rebuilding this at present,
nor until the flats through which it passes are filled in.
In addition to the Moore street outlet for which there is
at present no intercepter, there are two outlets on the north
side of East Boston, viz., Glendon and Putnam streets out-
lets, for which there is also no intercepter. The sewage
from these two outlets empties into Chelsea creek. To
intercept these outlets and connect them with the Metropoli-
tan sewer at its nearest available point will require about
2,700 linear feet of intercepting sewer, at an estimated cost
of $20,000. This should be built.
Charlestown.
There have been built in this district 1,680.51 linear feet
pipe sewers, 253.99 linear feet 6-inch pipe house drain,
1,599.64 linear feet pipe surface drain, making a total of
3,534.14 linear feet, or 0.67 miles.
The most important of this was in the Beecham street dis-
trict, so called, where the building of the new sewers for
house sewage, and retaining as far as possible the old sewers
for surface drains, turn the sewage into the Metropolitan
sewer and keeps it from flowing into the Mystic river as
heretofore.
The sewer in Hamblin street in this district is in process
of construction, and will be finished early in the year 1903.
When this is completed all the sewage from the Beecham
street district will be connected with the Metropolitan sewer.
Recommendations.
Warren avenue connection with Metropolitan sewer. All
other sewers in Charlestown have been connected with the
Metropolitan sewer except the one emptying at Warren-ave-
nue bridge, and one which outlets at foot of Hamblen street
into Mystic river. These two should be connected as soon
as possible. The one at Warren avenue has been delayed in
order not to interfere with traffic along the avenue. Some
interference, however, is inevitable when the connection is
made, and it is best to make it as soon as possible.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 107
Hamblen street, between Arlington avenue and George
street. This and Warren avenue are the only two remaining
outlets in Charlestown to be connected with the Metropol-
itan sewer. The existing sewers in the vicinity of Hamblen
street will be as far as possible preserved as storm water
sewers and new house sewers built to carry the house
sewage.
Brighton.
During the past year there have been built in this district
8,620.05 linear feet pipe sewers, 315.32 linear feet 6-inch
pipe house drain, 1,096.66 linear feet pipe surface drain, and
1,828.27 linear feet brick surface drain, making a total of
11,860.30 linear feet, or 2.25 miles.
The most important of this was about 450 linear feet of
6 feet by 7 feet brick conduit to carry Salt Creek brook.
This brook is the outlet for all surface water in Common-
wealth avenue, between Pleasant and Warren streets, and for
a large territory in Brookline.
About 350 linear feet of 11 feet by 9 feet brick conduit
for Faneuil Valley brook, between Faneuil and Parsons
streets; and also about 1,000 linear feet of 4-feet 6-inch
circular brick conduit for the apper reaches of Faneuil Valley
brook, between Lake street and Rogers park. This com-
pletes the Faneuil Valley brook conduit, between Parsons
street and upper Lake-street culvert at Chandlers' pond,
except a gap across Rogers park, which will probably be
built by the Park Commission ; a gap across Lake street at
the lower culvert, opposite Rogers park, and a gap of about
800 feet between Oakland and Faneuil streets.
The cost of completing this work, except across Rogers
park, will be about $15,000.
Recommendations.
Nonantum street, Washington street to Newton line, sur-
face drain. This is needed, as the street is in poor condition
every spring when the snow melts and frost comes out of
the ground. The surface drain will connect with the exist-
ing conduit for Oak square branch of Faneuil Valley brook.
Wallingford road, between Chestnut Hill avenue and
existing sewer. This street is in a tract of land cut up by
the Westminster Land Company. The land company built
sewers in several of the streets in this tract in 1901, and
some three thousand feet of these sewers have no outlet.
The outlet will be provided by building between the limits
mentioned.
108 City Document No. 40.
Aberdeen district, so called. The streets in tins district
are practically all sewered on the separate system, and the
sewage passes into the Brookline system which is also
designed to receive nothing but house sewage. Catch-basins
are constantly called for in these streets, but. in order to pro-
vide outlets for them it will be necessary to build a system
of surface drains emptying into Brookline surface drains.
This is a matter of considerable importance.
Faneuil Valley brook conduit. This conduit is practically
completed from Lake street, at Chandler's pond, to Parsons*
street, with the exception of the gaps previously mentioned.
This conduit when completed will furnish outlets for surface
drains in a large territory now being rapidly built up, and in
which the sewerage system must at an early date be changed
from the combined to the separate systems.
Shepard brook. This brook has its head- waters near
Shannon and Union streets, and has at various places been
taken into sewers, and the original brook channel has been
obliterated. The catch-basins in this drainage area also con-
nect with the sewers instead of draining into the brook by
surface drains, as would have been the case if the brook
channel had not been filled in and destroyed. The conse-
quence is that sewers in this territory are overcharged at
every rain-storm, and frequent complaints of flooding of cellars
and streets are received. The course of this conduit will be
from its connection with the Faneuil Valley conduit at North
Beacon street, near Boston & Albany Railroad, across private
land to Market street, in Market, Henshaw, Menlo, Wash-
ington and Shepard streets, and private land to Shannon
street.
Conduit for easterly branch of Shepard brook from Mur-
dock street down North Beacon street, Arthur, and Hichborn
streets, and private land to Everett street, in Everett street,
Lincoln, Erickson and Adams streets, to and across Franklin
street, in Alcott and Mansfield streets, and Coolidge road,
across North Harwood street, and in private land and across
Western avenue to Charles river. This brook has been
taken into sewers at various points, and the channel
obliterated for practically the entire distance to North
Harvard street. For part of the distance there are small
pipe surface drains, but they are utterly inadequate in size.
In other places the catch-basins connect with the sewers,
which become surcharged at every rainfall of any magnitude.
A petition signed by one hundred and eleven residents of
this territory was sent in the latter part of 1901 and has
been reported upon.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 109
Everett street overflow. This overflow formerly con-
nected directly with an arm of the Charles river, which was
filled in, and the overflow almost entirely cut off by building
the speedway on Charles river reservation by the Metropoli-
tan Park Commission.
West Roxbtjry.
There have been built in this district 19,099.29 linear feet
of pipe sewers, 1,509.58 linear feet 6-inch pipe house drains,
5,177.30 linear feet pipe surface drains, 1,264.18 linear feet
brick surface drains, 68 linear feet brick and concrete sur-
face drains, 299.16 linear feet wood surface drains, 30
linear feet brick culvert, and 72.00 linear feet brick and
stone culvert, making a total of 27,519.46 linear feet, or 5.21
miles.
The principal works completed are :
A 6-foot by 5-foot 9-inch culvert under South street at
Bussey brook. This takes the place of the old stone culvert
of utterly inadequate size, and will prevent the flooding of
South street, which occurred at this point at every rain-
storm of any magnitude.
Brick and pipe surface drains, about 2,000 feet long, in
Boylston and Lamartine streets, between Stony brook and
Cedar avenue. This relieves the overcrowded condition of
the sewers in this vicinity in time of storm, and was a relief
long desired by residents of the neighborhood.
Completing sewerage works in Walter street and beginning
the improvement of Roslindale branch of Stony brook. This
improvement is begun between Washington and Cohasset
streets, and consists of an 8-foot circular concrete structure,
which, it is to be hoped, will be extended in, the near future
up to the vicinity of Highland station.
Recommendation s.
Spring street, between Charles river and Gardner streets.
A surface drain is needed in this street and has been
petitioned for. The surface water is at present turned on to
private land by chutes, and causes considerable trouble and
damage.
Intercepting sewer between end of Metropolitan sewer in
Weld street and Arthur street. This is really a part of the
Metropolitan system which will at some time be extended to
the Brookline territory. Until it is built there will be no
outlet for those parts of Westover, Maple, Willow and
110 City Document No. 40.
Arthur streets lying between Weld street and this inter-
cepter. Petitions have been received for these streets, but
the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission has no intention at
present of building the outlet. It should be built by the
city, and when the time comes turned over to the Metropoli-
tan sewer at its cost to the city, with interest added.
Hemlock street, Washington street to Bellevue street.
This will be the outlet for Washington street, between Hem-
lock and Beech streets, and for the territory south of Wash-
ington street to Kittridge street, Kittridge street, between
Metropolitan avenue and Mayo street. This will outlet
down Kittridge street to Hemman-street extension, thence
to Washington street, and down Hemlock street.
Beech street, near Washington street, culvert. This has
been requested several times, as the old culvert under the
street is stopped up by the widening of Beech street.
Linnet street surface drain, with outlet in La Grange and
Maxfield streets to Spring-street brook. The building of
this will relieve the property on Linnet and Landseer streets
from flooding, which occurs at nearly every storm.
Lee and Child streets, and private land to Carolina avenue.
This is an old brook channel, which was taken, walled in and
covered over many years ago, before West Roxbury was
annexed to Boston. It is now too small in size *to care for
the water brought to it in time of storm, and is in poor
condition. It frequently floods adjoining property in time
of storm, and relief has been requested by the property
owners.
Roslindale branch of Stony brook improvement, from
Cohasset street to Central station and from Central station
to Highland station. This improvement is absolutely neces-
sary, in order to prevent the flooding which occurs every
spring on Belgrade avenue and in the vicinity of Highland
station. As the streets in the neighborhood are built and
the territory developed the floods are of more frequent
occurrence ; and during the spring of 1901 Belgrade
avenue was impassable for even electric cars for a period of
one or two hours on at least two occasions. Streets in the
vicinity of Highland station are also flooded in heavy rains.
It will be impossible to provide any outlet for surface water
coming from the adjacent territory until this improvement
takes place. Surface drains in Belgrade avenue cannot be
built, nor the building of Railroad street, already ordered
under chapter 323, etc., carried on for the same reason.
William-street surface drain and brook conduit, between
Stony brook and Forest Hills street. This conduit is neces-
Street Department — Sewer Division. Ill
sary, as the present outlet for the brook is a small pipe
entirely inadequate in size, and frequent floodings occur
along the line of the brook.
Boylston street, between Stony brook and Washington
street, surface drain. This drain is necessary to take surface
water and a brook which formerly flowed through this terri-
tory. The sewers in this area are overcrowded at every
storm, and should be changed to the separate system as soon
as possible.
Chestnut avenue surface drain. This is very necessary
in order to relieve the congested condition of the sewer in
Boylston street.
Arborway and Pond street, from culvert in Arborway to
May street. This will relieve the flooding several times
-complained of in the vicinity of Pond and May streets.
Surface drain in private land — Heathcote, Poplar and
Hillside streets — to take brook now flowing into sewer in
Poplar street, and relieve overcrowded condition of Poplar
and Washington street sewers.
Glen road and Washington street, between Forest Hills
street and Stony brook. There is a culvert running across
Glen road and to Forest Hills street. This was built before
West Roxbury was annexed to Boston, and is now broken
down and should be rebuilt, with outlet down Washington
street to Stony brook.
Improvement of Spring street brook, from Charles river
to Baker street, including rebuilding of culvert under Baker
street, which is necessary in order to provide an outlet for
surface drainage in Baker street, between the brook and
Spring street.
Dorchester.
During the past year there have been built in this district
26,159.45 linear feet of pipe sewer, 5,834.07 linear feet
brick surface drain, 13,362.28 linear feet pipe surface drain,
4,375.40 linear feet 6-inch house drain — making a total of
49,731.20 linear feet, or 9.42 miles.
The principal works completed in North Dorchester are :
Hancock street, from Columbia road to Winter street.
Work progressed steadily during the year 1901 in this street
and was finished this year.
Freeport street brook, between Hancock and Trull streets,
including the tributary streets — Howe, Rill and Trull
streets — was finished during the present year.
Freeport street brook, between tide-water and High street.
112 City Document No. 40.
Work was begun at Dorchester avenue and finished as far as
Pleasant street.
Crescent avenue brook, between Shoreham street and Car-
son street. This work was carried on throughout the year
and is practically finished, with the exception of the connec-
tion at the Old Colony Railroad, and when completed will
provide an adequate outlet for the Crescent avenue district,
which has been troubled in time of storm for many years.
Columbia road, between Dorchester avenue and the rail-
road bridge Sewerage works in this portion of the road
have been completed and the road turned over to the Paving
Division for surfacing.
Franklin field brook, between Franklin field and Harvard
street. This (Franklin-field brook) conduit has been built
to take the storm-water from the Harvard-street district and
the brook which crosses Blue Hill avenue and private land
to Harvard street, where it formerly flowed under the brick
building at the corner of Talbot avenue and Harvard street.
Harvard street surface drainage. A start has been made
on this system by the lowering of the sewer in Harvard
street, from Blue Hill avenue to Vaughan street, and work
should be resumed on this system in the immediate future,
as complaints are constantly coming in from abutters on
Harvard and adjoining streets.
Tenean creek, between Geneva avenue and Marlowe
street. This conduit was extended to Maflowe street to
take the water from the brook at this location and drain the
low land bounded by Geneva avenue, Park, Marlowe and
Vinson streets.
Marshfield street. This sewer was badly settled and the
sewage backed up in the houses after nearly every storm.
Cottage terrace. Same as Marshfield street.
Sewers have also been constructed in Bullard street, Cor-
nell street, Fox street, Geneva avenue, Ingleside street,
Kineo street, Mascoma, Millett, Normandy, Stanwood and
Spring streets, and in Wales place and Clapp street.
Private parties have built sewers in Sumner terrace and
Sudan street.
Charlotte street, Dakota street, Fayston street, Wayland
street, Hinckley street, Morrill street, Lindsey street, Vin-
son street, St. Margaret street, and Hamilton street have been
built " under the Act."
The work of the Sewer Division in South Dorchester, for
the past year, has been centred in the construction of pipe
sewers, which have been repeatedly cnlled for in petitions
and by requests from the Board of Health. Some of the
most important of these are as follows :
Street Department — Sewer Division. 113
River street, between Washington and Idaho streets,
thereby removing the cause of much pollution of the Nepon-
set river, and giving sewerage facilities to a thickly settled
area.
The completion of the sewerage works in Avondale place,
thereby doing away with a great number of cesspools which
are a menace to the health of the community.
The outlet in private land, between Highland avenue and
Sheridan street, which will allow the building of sewers in
Washington court, Minot place, and Sheridan court, has
been completed, thereby abating a long standing nuisance.
The completion of sewerage works in quite a number of
streets under chapter 323 of the Acts of 1891, etc., the most
important of which was in Blue Hill avenue, from Neponset
river to Walk Hill street, thereby allowing the avenue to be
graded, and providing an outlet for a number of adjoining
streets.
In regard to the building of surface drains, the most im-
portant work completed during the past year was the Canter-
bury branch of Stony brook in Franklin field, between
Talbot avenue and Lyons street, also a part of the Oakland
Garden fork. This channel varies in size from 4 feet 6 inches
to a 10 feet circular brick conduit, and, although started under
the previous administration the most of the work was done
during the past' year. This improvement provides an ample
outlet for all surface drains in this area, and allows of the
removal of the unsightly open ditch in Franklin field.
The improvement of the Davenport brook channel, between
Van Winkle and Bailey streets, has been started, and is fast
nearing completion, as far as the present order for the same
will permit. This channel will greatly relieve the sewers in
the vicinity, and the flooding of cellars during and after
every rainstorm will be abated.
On the Oakland brook, at Mattapan, a conduit has been
built across River street, to take the place of an old stone
affair, from which we were constantly receiving complaints,
and a contract let for the extension of the same.
Recommendations.
For North Dorchester, Freeport street brook from tide-
water to Dorchester avenue. Work should be begun on this
outlet dining the coming year, to afford an overflow for the
system of storm drains already built in the upper regions of
this territory. Many of the surface drains in this area have
not been connected with the main conduit, owing to this
outlet not having been constructed. A large amount of
114 City Document No. 40.
work is necessary here on account of the crossing of the Dor-
chester intercepting sewer and cutting off of the main trunk
sewer in Dorchester avenue.
Franklin field conduit. This should be extended from
Harvard street up to the line of Blue Hill avenue to take
the flow of this old watercourse, which now meanders
through private land and is a source of much annoyance to
the abutters, as considerable sewage finds its way into this
brook owing to the overcrowded condition of the sewers in
Blue Hill avenue.
Harvard street district. Considerable surface drainage
will have to be undertaken here, and work should be started
immediately to relieve the Talbot avenue main trunk sewer,
which has caused so much trouble by flooding and been the
cause of numerous suits against the city for large amounts
in recent years. This work includes the building of brick
drains in Harvard street, from Blue Hill avenue to Wales
street, and small pipe surface drains in Vaughan street,
Abbott street, Wales street, and Esmond street.
The above streets are the ones which might affect the
Harvard street sewer and cause flooding, but it will be neces-
sary to construct a system of surface drains in the entire
Talbot avenue drainage area before permanent relief can be
afforded.
Tenean creek, between Westville street and Holmes
avenue. This is made necessary by a large amount of sur-
face water that is brought down from Hamilton street,
Draper street, and other streets in this vicinity, which have
no storm water outlet, overflowing private land and causing
considerable damage to private estates.
Normandy street. Surface drains should be extended
from Devon street to the brook in private land beyond
Geneva avenue to abate the nuisance which exists here
nearly all the time.
Tonawanda street surface drain. This drain should be
lowered from a point in Tonawanda street across private
land, Lindsey street and Stratford street to Park street.
This drain was built by private parties, and takes
the storm water from a considerable area, but was laid with
poor joints and has become nearly filled with sand. When
rebuilt it should be laid at a lower grade.
Faxon street surface drain. A drain should be built from
the Oakland Garden fork of Canterbury branch of Stony
brook along the New England Railroad, through Faxon
street to Washington street, to take the storm water from
Kilton street, Millett street, and other streets in this low
territory which are flooded after nearly every heavy rain.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 115
Dorchester brook sewer. A start should be made during
the coming year on the separation of the system in the area
drained by the Dorchester brook sewer, as the district
through which this sewer flows has been built up so rapidly
in the past few years that the old main trunk sewer is entirely
unfit to take the drainage properly.
Sewers should also be constructed in Roseclaire street,
Greenhalge street, Bowdoin street, between Cottage Park
and Olney street, Harvard street at Kilton street, Geneva
avenue, between Willow and Normandy streets, Elder street
extension, Buttonwood court and private land between Moseley
street and Columbia road ; and a sewer should also be built
in Willow court, between Boston court and the Dorchester
brook overflow, with an outlet across private land into the
common sewer in Massachusetts avenue.
For South Dorchester. The most important work con-
templated in this district is the building of the Dorchester
intercepters to connect with the Metropolitan high level
sewer, which is fast nearing completion.
The largest and longest of these intercepters is the one
starting at Hyde Park line and running through Mattapan,
Dorchester Lower Mills, Ashmont, Meeting House Hill, and
terminating at the crossing of Blue Hill avenue and More-
land street, in Roxbury. A start should be made on this
the coming year.
The next largest intercepter is the one starting from the
Metropolitan high level sewer, near the corner of Ashland
and Canterbury streets, crossing Walk Hall street, Morton
street and Blue Hill avenue, and terminating at the corner
of Norfolk street and Talbot avenue. This is in some
respects more important than the first mentioned intercepter,
as it will afford a sewer outlet for Morton street, will do
away with the Callender and Lyons streets pumping station,
and afford a new outlet for the rebuilding of the Talbot
avenue sewer at a lower and more satisfactory grade.
The next important work in this district should be the
improvement of the several brook courses, from which we
are constantly receiving complaints. The first one to receive
our attention should be the Davenport brook channel, espe-
cially the part below Adams street and the portions in private
land and Armandine street. This work has been repeatedly
petitioned for, and is a much-needed improvement.
The Oakland brook channel should be improved during
the coming year between River street and the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad.
On the Canterbury branch of Stony brook, between ( ial-
116 City Document. No. 40.
lender and Harvard streets, a covered channel should be
built, as the improvements we have already made on the
upper part of this brook will have no satisfactory outlet
until this channel is built.
A system of surface drains to empty into Tenean creek
conduit should be built in Adams, Ashmont and Wrentham
streets, as this will do away with takings through private
land in this vicinity.
Sewers should also be built in Wells avenue, Samoset
street, Sampson street- and Everdean street and the outlet
therefor. Petitions have also been received for sewers in
numerous streets, the total cost of which will be about
$50,000, many of these petitions being dated five or six years.
ago.
ROXBUEY.
There have been built in this district during the past year
'1,594.24 linear feet brick sewer, 9,382.05 linear feet pipe
sewer, 1,058.20 linear feet brick surface drain, 2,631.76
linear feet pipe surface drain, 49.53 linear feet wooden sur-
face drain and 1,498.32 linear feet 8 and 6-inch pipe house
drains, making a total of 16,214.10 linear feet, or 3.07 miles.
The principal sewerage works. completed in the district are:
Massachusetts avenue, between Magazine street and the
railroad bridge. It became necessary to build here a long
line of surface drain to take the surface water from this and
adjoining streets, owing to the building operations in the
vicinity requiring the use of land which was formerly used
as an outlet for this storm water.
Burnham, Southampton and Atkinson streets. This sys-
tem of sewers, designed to drain the so-called Swett-street
district, provides drainage for the smallpox hospital, the
Veterinary hospital and other buildings on Atkinson street,
and was completed this year.
Smith street. Surface drain in Smith, Whitney and Tre-
mont streets.
Heath street, surface drain. This drain will relieve the
Heath-street sewer, which has made trouble between South
Huntington avenue and Huntington avenue, where the sewer
has little pitch, and, being at the foot of the hill, got more
water from up the hill than it would cany.
Halleck street and Caldwell street. This sewer was built
to relieve the Ira Allen School, at the same time to carry on
the work of rebuilding the Halleck-street sewer, which is in
very poor condition.
Parker street, between Heath street and Fisher avenue.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 117
This sewer was very much needed to furnish an outlet for
new catch-basins at Fisher avenue. It has been impossible
to build catch-basins on this side of the hill, as there were no
sewers to drain into. The rain falling on that side of the
hill, not " being intercepted by catch-basins, found its way
down Parker street, washing out the streets and backing up
sewers at the foot of the hill. This sewer will be the outlet
for the Fisher-avenue sewer when the latter is built.
Queensberry street sewer and Jersey -street sewer are being
built.
Sewers have also been built in Atherton street, Copley
street, Farnham street, Proctor street, Renfrew street and
Seaver street, and the sewer in Humboldt avenue, all in
ledge between Waumbeck and Harris hoff streets, has also
been finished.
Recommendations.
Ruggles street district. Ruggles street sewer, being the
main outlet for the entire Bower and Sherman streets drain-
age area, is overtaxed in time of storm to such an extent
that the flooding of cellars is a common occurrence along the
whole line of the street and adjacent streets, such as War-
wick street, Haskins street, Westminster street, Auburn
street, and Shawmut avenue. The " Separate System " should
be established in this district during the coming year to
furnish relief to a long list of suffering residents.
Hammond street district. Sanitary (or unsanitary) con-
ditions here have reached a stage where it is useless to pro-
vide any halfway measures of relief, and the ''Separate
System" is earnestly recommended for Hammond street,
Sussex street, Greenwich street, Winsor street, Arnold street,
Ball street, and the portion of Shawmut avenue tributary to
Hammond street.
Elmwood street overflow. This is needed as a relief for
the overcrowed trunk sewer which flows through this street
and overflows into Stony brook.
Fenner street surface drain. This is badly needed as a
continuation of the Ruthven street drainage system. This
system is completed between Humboldt avenue and Walnut
avenue, at the corner of Cobden street, and should be carried
down through private land and Fenner street to Washington
street to relieve the flooding of cellars on Cobden street,
which occurs after every heavy rain-storm.
Willow park, between Westminster street and Shawmut
avenue. This sewer, having been built on soft ground, has
118 City Document No. 40.
settled so badly that' the house drains are nearly all dis-
connected from the main sewer, and the cellars are flooded to
such an extent that many of these buildings are rendered
untenantable. Nothing can be done in this street, however,
until a satisfactory sewer is constructed in Ruggles street,
as before indicated.
Bower and Sherman street districts. This district has
long been the source of a great deal of trouble and complaint,
owing to the old dilapidated and utterly inadequate system
of sewers. Numerous complaints reach this office after every
heavy rain-storm, but we are powerless to offer the residents
any relief until an entirely new system of sewers is con-
structed. Work can and should be started in this district
during the coming year.
Warren street, between Brunswick and Intervale street.
This is a small 15-inch pipe sewer on the line of the Dor-
chester trunk sewer, and connects a 2-foot by 3-foot brick
sewer near Intervale street with a 24-inch by 30-inch sewer
near Brunswick street. It is the cause, in time of storm, of
backing up the entire system of sewers in the vicinity of
Waumbeck, Crawford, and Howland streets.
Warren street, between Moreland street and Rockville
park. This sewer should be built of larger size and greater
depth to accommodate the houses in this neighborhood, the
sewage from which now has to be raised by pumps in the
possession of private parties.
Cedar street, between Columbus avenue and Centre street.
A surface drain should be built in this street to relieve the
flooding which occurs after every heavy rain-storm, and take
the water from the partial system of surface drains in the
vicinity and deliver it to Stony brook channel in Columbus
avenue.
A system of surface drains must also be provided for the
district around Quincy street, Holborn, Gaston, Gannett, and
Otisfield streets.
Vila street district. This matter was mentioned in last
year's report, and although nothing has been done as yet
there is a probability that sewers will be built in this district
the coming year.
Fenway lands. Surface drains are still discharging on to
the private land, as mentioned in last year's report, but as
sewers and drains in Jersey street are under consideration
this may soon be remedied.
Muddy river conduit. Nothing has been done to the old
conduit. This matter was discussed in previous reports.
Sewers should be built in the following streets : Fisher
avenue, Halleck street (rebuilding).
Street Department — Sewer Division. 119
City Proper.
There have been built in this district during the past year
3,722.01 linear feet of pipe sewer, 3,158.80 linear feet of
brick sewer, 538.76 linear feet of pipe surface drain, 172
linear feet of 8-inch pipe, and 28 linear feet of 6-inch pipe
house drains, making a total of 7,619.07 linear feet, or 1.44
miles.
The principal works completed are :
Traverse street, between Canal and Portland streets. The
old wooden sewer was removed and a deeper brick sewer
built, which connects the sewer in Portland street with the
Canal street relief sewer.
Kneeland street, between Atlantic avenue and South street.
This sewer will drain out the low sewer between South street
and Utica street.
Cotting and Wall streets. This sewer has been needed
for a long time, the old sewer causing much trouble.
Sewers have been rebuilt in —
Pleasant street, between Tremont and Carver streets. .
Thacher street, between Washington street north and
Endicott street.
Endicott street, between Thacher and Cooper streets.
Elm street, between Washington street and Hanover

State street. Sewers have been rebuilt by the Transit Com-
mission between India street and Washington street. The
old sewer between Commercial and India streets has been
rebuilt by this division.
Hanover street. A sewer has been built between the
Canal street relief sewer in Cross street and the siphon at
Washington street. The siphon was built under -the Wash-
ington street subway by the Transit Commission and dis-
charged into the Friend street sewer. On account of the
grade of the Friend street sewer there was always seven feet
of water in the down-stream manhole of the siphon. Hotels
and restaurants connected with this system deliver large
quantities of grease which collected in the siphon and made
it necessary for this division to clean the siphon once each
week. This has now been done away with, freeing the
division from a constant expense and the danger of suits
120 City Document No. 40.
which would surely be instituted against the city if the
grease were allowed to collect and plug the sewer.
Recommendations.
Church street district. This subject was discussed in last
year's report, but nothing has been done.
State street. The Canal street relief sewer ih Commercial
street, where it crosses State street, has been settled and
broken by the operation of driving the tunnel in State street.
This should be repaired by the Transit Commission as soon
as settlement has ceased.
Norman street. The sewer is in the same condition as
last year, but should be extended down the street until it
will drain into the Norman street sewer.
Beverly street overflow. An overflow is needed on this
system, as mentioned in previous reports.
Buckingham street. As mentioned in last year's report
the sewer in this street is badly settled. It can be rebuilt to
drain cellars at grade 12, but to drain cellars on the street
that are at grade 8.5 will make it necessary to spend more
money than is desirable.
Sewers should be rebuilt in Salem street, North street, and
Hale street.
In the City Proper and Roxbury during the past year there
have been approved 115 plans for private corporations.
Main Drainage Works.
This branch of the Sewer Division consists of the system
of main and intercepting sewers which convey the sewage of
the city to the discharge outlet at tide- water. Included
under this heading are all the regulators, overflows, and tide-
gates throughout the city, the pumping station, deposit and
outfall sewers, 'and reservoirs at Moon island, also the care
of the channels of Stony brook.
Main and intercepting sewers. A list of the number of
tide-gates, regulators, sumps, and overflows in different sec-
tions of the city that are inspected and cleaned after every
storm or excessive rise of sewage is appended. Also a state-
ment of additions, renewals and repairs to same.

Pumping Station, Calf Pasture.
The following repairs and alterations were made the past
year:
No. 1 and 2 pumps — Two new composition-faced valve
frames were put in.
Two new Bulkely condensers.
New main steam pipe from old boilers.
No. 3 and 4 pumps — Four new and improved slip joints
have been put between horse-power cylinder and reheatera.
Two mechanical lubricators have been put on this engine.
The injection piping of No. 1 and 2 pumps is in course
122 City Document No. 40.
of construction, and all wrought- iron pipe will soon be
eplaced by cast iron.
In the old gate-house four new cages or screens have been
installed, also the main gate on the north side has been
replaced by a new gate.
Three new return tubular boilers, built by Kendall & Sons,
have been set up and are now in operation. They are
installed in a new boiler-house, built of concrete and
expanded metal, which was constructed for the purpose.
The boilers are now operating the Leavitt engines and all the
auxiliary machinery at the plant.
These are the boilers that in last year's report it was sug-
gested should be set up for the purpose of running the plant,
while the old battery in the boiler-house was being replaced
by a new one. A battery of six boilers, carrying a working
pressure of 185 pounds, has been contracted for to replace
the old ones, and are about ready for delivery.
It having been decided to extend the main building on
account of the installation of the new pump, a substantial
foundation of piles, concrete, and stone has been put in on
lines that will admit of completing the building as originally
designed. The machine-shop has been removed from the
engine-house to a temporary building erected for the pur-
pose. This was necessary, as it occupied the place where
the new pump is to be set up. All the foundations for the
new pump are ready to receive it. The foundation for the
outboard bearing is of stone and concrete on piles.
A new iron railing has been built on the coal run to
replace the wooden guards.
All the outbuildings and fence have been painted, and a
new tar and gravel roof put on the coal-sheds. A new drain
pipe has been laid, connecting the stable with the sewer. A
new automatic sewer gauge has been set up in the gate-
house. New shaft, sprocket chains and gears have been put
on sludge-carrying machine in the deposit sewer.
The alterations and repairs necessary to receive the new
boilers and new engine are now under way, and will have to
be carried on until everything is completed and the boilers
and engines are running. It will be necessary to put new
well gates in this year and new gates on the discharge from
the pumps.
Mt. Vernon street, from Button wood street to the pump-
ing station, should be macadamized and a substantial fence
erected from the railroad to the station. The street is in a
deplorable condition, and will continue to be so until it is
ballasted.
Street Department — Sewer Division. 123
Lyons Street Pumping Station.
The pumping station at Lyons street was thoroughly over-
hauled the past season. The two belts have been renewed.
Complete repairs have been made on the engine, including
one new crank shaft, and all the pump bearings have been
rebabbitted. The roof has been repaired around the smoke-
stack, and the whole painted with fireproof paint.
Moon Island.
The general working of the system here has been very
satisfactory. The contract for sea-wall, wharf extension,
boat-house and grading was finished in the Spring. The
gate-houses in general are in good condition, minor repairs
having been made. The stable is not only in bad condition,
but dangerous. A new stable and storehouse was asked for
in last year's report, but nothing has been done towards con-
structing it. The large barn in Squantum is also in an
unsafe condition, although a large number of the post sup-
ports have been renewed. The public have been kept out of
the structure for fear of an accident.
A sanitary for the use of the public has been built at
Squantum.
Repairs, such as the renewals of parts, changes from iron
to composition, new stems, cross-heads, flanges, and bolts
have been made to one- third of the gates in the long gate-
house. The repairs on the remaining two-thirds of these
gates should be completed the coming year.
A new line of water pipes, with hydrants, should be
installed at the reservoir for washing the side walls. The
old pipes have become useless, and the cleaning of the side
walls cannot be done until the new pipes are laid. The gates
at the outlet gate-house, together with gearing, pinions, and
regular gears, must be repaired and a number of parts
renewed, and it would be advisable to change the present
method of operating the gates and work them by compressed
air. Immediate attention should be given to this matter, as
the working parts are in a very bad condition.
A connection from the Boston water main should be made
at the connection chamber for flushing and cleaning purposes.
The rip-rap on the west side of the embankment for one
thousand feet should be relaid as the ballast has washed out
and there is danger to some parts of the embankment.
The roadway from Squantum to Moon Island is low,
caused by settlement, washing from heavy rains, high winds,
124 City Document No. 40.
etc., and should be raised. During the winter months this
road is in bad condition, and it should be surfaced with
ballast, crushed stone, or a good depth of gravel and rolled.
The sea-wall or rip-rap should be extended around the
Moon Head at the top of the beach for protection to the hill
which is gradually wearing away.
The outlet gate-house needs pointing and some minor
repairs.
The average daily amount of sewage received at the
reservoir, Moon Island, from the Pumping station from
January 31, 1902, to February 1, 1903, was 88,480,680
gallons.
Stony Brook.
The work for this year commenced in Brookside avenue
and in private land, and extends to a point forty-five feet
south of Green street in private land.
The size of the conduit is 15| feet by 17 feet to the north-
erly line of Green street, and from this point it enlarges to
15f feet by 20 feet, this latter size to be carried to Forest
Hills. The dimensions have been increased owing to a
flatter gradient. The Brookside avenue quicksand was
encountered, which considerably increased the cost of con-
struction and made the progress necessarily slow. This
material was handled by driving 5-inch tongued and grooved
sheeting with a pile driver. The trench was bulkheaded in
40-foot sections to make a water-tight compartment, the
sheeting was driven from 8 to 10 feet below grade and
the quicksand excavated about 3 feet below the grade of the
invert. A 6-inch underdrain was laid on the centre line, and
lateral drains of gravel were put in from the sheeting to the
centre. From 6 to 8 inches of gravel was spread over the
whole bottom, and from 18 to 20 inches of concrete laid on
top of this. The side walls of rubble masonry were carried
up to within 2 feet of the crown of the arch. Though the
use of 5-inch sheeting was an expensive item, it was con-
clusively proven that this method of confining the quicksand
more than compensated for the outlay. In using this larger
size sheeting a trench was carried within 10 feet of a 4-story
brick building without the slightest damage whatever. Fol-
lowing the old method it would have been necessary to support
these buildings, and estimates from those competent to do
this work were so high that the method adopted has proven
the most economical under the conditions.
The first interruption of work occurred in February, and
was caused by a heavy snow-storm, the men being put on the
Street Department — Sewer Division. 125
street-cleaning force. The second delay was caused by the
severe rain-storm of March 1. The flood was so great this
day that it broke through a bulkhead into the trench, under-
mined and damaged several buildings, and broke down the
gas and water pipes ; this was the most serious damage done
in many years on this work.
The next delay occurred, from May 8, until June 23, to
determine the line ahead.
The 15| foot by 17 foot, the 9 foot by 9 foot 6 inches, and
15| foot by 20-foot conduits meet in Green street, forming
a bell-mouth. In building the bell-mouth across Green street,
this street, which is amain thoroughfare, had to be closed. It
was necessary here to overcome a great many obstacles, — all
traffic had to be conducted through private land and over a
bridge thrown across the brook to Bartlett place. The 36-inch
by 38-inch brick sewer had to be flumed around on the north-
erly side of the street, and the water and gas pipes and the
tel-phone conduits had to be carried on the same side.
Several routes south of Green street have been investigated,
but the most feasible is that which follows the line of the old
biook, enters Keyes place, and thence to Washington street.
Beyond Washington street to Forest Hills it now seems ad-
visable to follow the old line of the brook, this line offering
fewer chances for suits for damages than the route which
follows Washington street.
An appropriation sufficient to cany this work to Forest
Hills should be immediately obtained. The foul odors
arising from the brook bed, the demands of the district, and
the inci eased cost of construction by small yearly appropria-
tions, offer the best reasons why this channel should be com-
pleted at once. If part of this work could be let out by
contract it would be possible to finish it in one and one-half
years.
The amount of construction for the year is as follows :
297 linear feet, 15 § by 17 feet, brick conduit.

Entrance Fees, Permits and Assessments.
Entrance fees to the amount of $5,515.62 have been col-
lected from estates upon which no sewer assessment was ever
paid, in accordance with chapter 38, section 10, of the
Revised Ordinances of 1898.
126 City Document No. 40.
Bills for sewer assessments, amounting to $2,417.03, have
been deposited for collection, representing those estates
assessed under chapter 456 of the Acts of 1889, and amend-
ments thereto, which have been connected during the year
with the sewers for which they were assessed.
One thousand seven hundred and seventy (1,770) permits
have been issued to licensed drain-layers to make connections
with the public sewers, and the work done under these per-
mits has been inspected, and a record of the same made on
the plans of this division, in accordance with the pro-
visions of chapter 38, sections 6 and 10, of the Revised
Ordinances of 1898.
Eight hundred and eighty-two (882) permits have been
issued to district foremen and contractors for construction
and repairs of sewers and catch-basins.
Plans for the assessment of estates benefited by sewer
construction have been furnished the Street Commissioners,
representing 31,286 feet of sewers, costing $182,537.07.

APPENDIX F.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
STREET CLEANING DIVISION.
921, 922, 923 Tkemont Building,
Boston, February 1, 1903.
Hon. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Dear Sir, — Following is the report of the Street Clean-
ing Division of the Street Department for the year ending
January 31, 1903 :
Expense.
The expenditures of the year show an increase over those
of any previous year in the history of this division. This
increase is not attributable, solely, to extraordinary expenses,
but is almost the direct result of the natural expansion
of the sweeping district this division is obliged to cover.
To quote from the message of his Honor the Mayor,
accompanying the current year's appropriation bill, these
expenses are " in the nature of fixed charges and do not per-
mit of reductions without detriment to the public service " ;
and, again, these " fixed charges increase each year by a small
percentage in proportion to the growth of the city."
Hence the annual appeal made by this division for a more
liberal appropriation.
Extraordinary Expenses.
If there have been any unusual or unlooked for expenses
during the year, prominent mention must be made of the
stable in South Boston, which had been leased, about a month

134 City Document No. 40.
unfit, unsanitary — and, although over $3,000 have been
spent upon it to make it serve its purpose, it is still and will
continue to be a source of much expense to this division.
What may also be classed as an extraordinary expense is the
high price we had to pay during the year for hay and
grain. For this item alone it cost this division over $6,000
more than for the previous year.
The coal strike, whose resultant distressful features are
still an occasion for calls upon our service, was an additional
and unprovided for expenditure. Over $1,200 have been
spent carting coal to relieve the public distress ; and this was
done, of course, to the prejudice of the regular work of the
division. This distress continues and the streets are neg-
lected that we may relieve it, yet the public complains. In
connection with the subject of extraordinary expenditure, it
must be stated that the cost of the
Snow Work
of this division is out of all proportion to the provisions made
for it. In fact, there has been no provision made for it ; and
it is earnestly recommended that, when the Committee on
Appropriations is considering the needs of this division,
a certain sum for snow work be appropriated or the amount
allowed for general maintenance be materially increased.
Stables.
Attention has been called in previous years to the cramped
quarters allotted this division for its live and its rolling
stock. Provision was made in the last loan bill for the im-
provement of the West End and Charlestown stables. Some
arrangement must soon be made to care for the horses, carts,
and sweeping machines in Roxbury, where there is hardly
room for an extra horse, and where the rolling stock is often
exposed to rain and snow for lack of space to shelter it.
Stock.
Many of the horses of this division are no longer able to
do the work rsquired of them, being old, diseased, or crippled.
As a matter of record, about twenty of them have been offi-
cially condemned and ordered to be shot, and, although the
order for good reasons has not yet been carried into effect, it
is only a question of a short time when it must be done. The
carts might be characterized in the same way, very many of
Street Department — Street Cleaning Division. 135
tliem not being worth the cost of repairing. A recommenda-
tion was made last year to purchase a number of carts, but
not a cart has been added to the stock. They have been
repaired over and over again, but it would be in the line of
economy to replace them with new ones. The sweeping
machines are in fair condition.
Paper Litter.
This continues to be the most vexing problem confronting
this division, and it is simply repeating- the experience and
recommendation of previous years to state, that the remedy
is outside the Street Department. There is certainly law
enough to prevent this littering of the streets by store-
keepers, tenants, and the general public. If the earnest
and practical co-operation of the Police Department could
be secured, this nuisance could and would be, at least, min-
imized, if not entirely prevented.
Push-cart Work.
In line with this subject of paper litter must be recognized
the work of the patrol system or push-cart force. If this
service were discontinued the work of our machine sweeping
gangs would never satisfy the public. When the weather
permits (nine months in the year or more) all the down-town
districts, and much of the up-town sections of the city are
machine-swept during the night ; but, if this work were not
followed up during the day by the push-cart men, these same
streets, which were swept the night before, would present
a very unsightly appearance, even in the early hours of
the day.
Too much credit cannot be given to this branch of the
division ; it has expanded from year to year, and it should
continue to do so. Every deputy, recognizing its service,
has recommended its extension, and it is herein advocated
that it should be added to in proportion to the growth of at
least the paved area of the city.
Slippery Pavements.
The work of sanding asphalt streets has been done under
the supervision of the patrol system. The one sanding
machine in use is not capable of sanding all the asphalt
streets of the city, and, if it is the intention of this depart-
136 City Document No. 40.
merit to furnish adequate service in this respect, the equip-
ment should be added to and the force increased.
Dumps.
Provision must soon be made for more dumping places.
The low lands in most of the suburban districts are rap-
idly rilling up. Back Bay will soon be without a single
dumping lot. The single scow at Fort Hill Wharf, to
which all of the down-town sweepings are carted, is
inadequate.
A suitable and available place for another scow would be
at the city wharf on Albany street, and another at Charles
River avenue bridge — a very convenient place for the North
End, West End and Charlestown gangs.
Sidewalks around Public Squares.
An attempt was made during the present winter to trans-
fer the care of the sidewalks around public squares, particu-
larly those of the Common and Public Gardens, to the Public
Grounds Department. For some years this division had been
burdened with the care and cost of keeping these sidewalks
clear of snow and ice. Custom, or rather it seems because
the other department had not the money to pay for the work,
was the reason alleged for putting these sidewalks under the
care of the Street Department. If the custom is to be pre-
served, a special appropriation should be made to warrant
it. The streets in the vicinity of these public grounds are
neglected in consequence of the time spent on the sidewalks.
In any event it may be intimated that an arrangement
might be made between the Public Grounds Department and
this division that would be mutually satisfactory. It is not
so under existing conditions.
Public Alleys.
It is no exaggeration to state that, relatively, more com-
plaints have come from the public alleys, particularly those
in the Back Bay, than are heard or received from the abutters
of our main thoroughfares and ordinary business or residential
streets. The people who complain are often blamable in the
matter, but they do, nevertheless, insist upon better service.
These alleys are cleaned once a week. To do them oftener
will necessitate either a special gang of men or a considerable
addition to the force of the Back Bay District.
Street Department — Street Cleaning Division. 137
New Districts.
It was expected that there would be a sweeping gang of
this division established early in the year in Dorchester, but
the hope is still unrealized. The Paving Division, which
does the street cleaning of this territory, has called upon our
South End and South Boston gangs to go out there and
sweep its main thoroughfares, as it has neither the men nor
the equipment to do the work. Of course, South End and
South Boston are meantime neglected. The same may be
said of Brighton. The Back Bay gang gives it a spring and
fall cleaning, but always at the expense of its own district.
Provision should be made at the earliest possible moment
for the establishment of a permanent street cleaning force in
the suburban districts, to the end that the residents may
have the same service as those of the Back Bay district.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph J. Norton,
Deputy Superintendent.

APPENDIX G.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE STREET WATERING DIVISION.
904-905 Tremont Building,
Boston, February 1, 1903.
Hon. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit the annual report of
the Street Watering Division of the Street Department for
the financial year ending January 31, 1903.
All public streets were watered at an expense of
$160,147.25, paid for from the general tax levy.
The season opened March 24, and continued until Novem-
ber 30, but watering was done on February 12, 15 and 16.
It was in the main a wet season, although there were many
dry, windy days, difficult periods to keep dust down.
The service gave general satisfaction to the citizens of
every section of the city. The number of wettings given
the streets daily were as follows: Four to six in the
Back Bay District, four in the South End and City Proper,
three and four on the main thoroughfares of the outlying
sections and two on all others. The street mileage was
increased five miles by new streets, and two additional carts
were employed.
Attention is directed to the figures which show the tre-
mendous amount of fresh water used by the division. Taken
with the amount used by the Park, Fire and other depart-
ments, it seems proper at this time to suggest the use of salt
water for street watering purposes, as its superiority over
fresh water for this work is well known.
The sum of $160,000 is inadequate for a service which
contemplates watering in the open weather of the winter
months as well as in the strict watering season. Such a sum
provides for no extension of the service beyond the present
144
City Document No. 40.
limits, nor is it enough to properly water our streets under ordi-
nary conditions. In fact, it is only possible under favorable
weather conditions to water 465 miles of streets in the
manner of the past for the sum appropriated. It may
seem unnecessary to urge the matter so often, but
interest in a service which has been specialized and improved
until it has no equal of its kind anywhere compels the
reiteration. • An increase in the appropriation should be
made to meet the requirements of the weather conditions
during the entire year.
The force employed was one deputy superintendent, one
chief clerk, one clerk, one driver, and twenty-one bicycle
tallymen.
The division is indebted to Mr. J. W. Smith, local fore-
cast official, for daily weather reports.
Respectfully submitted,
Ambrose Woods,
Deputy Superintendent.

Boston and Cambridge Bridges. 147
APPENDIX H.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE BOSTON
AND' CAMBRIDGE BRIDGES.
Cambridge-street Bridge.
The deck of bridge was repaired by putting down four-inch
plank, and the bridge and draw sheathed with two-inch
spruce plank. The fences on the bridge and draw, the draw-
posts and the houses on the draw-piers have been painted.
This work was done by the drawtenders. They also
sweep bridge and piers and keep them free from snow and
ice and do ordinary repairs.
The drawtenders on this bridge also do the work on
Western-avenue bridge.
Canal or Craigie Bridge.
On the Cambridge end of the bridge the sidewalk was re-
paired by putting in two-inch spruce plank and replacing the
brick ; the house was shingled and repaired, and the paving
on the roadway was repaired from the draw to the Cambridge
end of the bridge.
On the Boston side, down-stream, a new sidewalk was
built for the whole length ; the old timbers and planking that
were very much decayed were taken out and replaced by new
hard-pine timber and hard-pine flooring ; the edgestones were
reset and the walks paved with new brick. The roadway
was repaired for the whole length.
The guard on the Cambridge side to protect the bridge
from damage by vessels colliding with it had to be rebuilt.
Oak piles were driven and capped with hard-pine timbers
and braced securely to piles connected with the bridge. The
draw-piers were repaired and the small house on the pier
shingled.
The draw is in very bad condition; it has been repaired as
required with new hard-pine timbers and planking. The
draw is old, and it should be thoroughly overhauled. There
is more teaming over this bridge than over any other bridge
in Boston, and it has to be watched very closely. A new
148 City Document No. 40.
and wider bridge should be built to take the place of this old
structure.
The drawtenders employed sweep the sidewalks and keep
them free from snow and ice in winter time, and do all ordi-
nary repairs.
Essex-street Bridge.
Almost the entire surface of the roadway was sheathed,
and four-inch spruce plank put in where necessary. The
draw and sidewalk were repaired.
The fences for the entire length of the bridge, and the
houses on the draw-pier have been painted. This work was
done by the drawtenders. They also sweep the bridge once
a week in summer and keep the sidewalks free from snow
and ice in winter, and do other ordinary repairs.
A petition has been sent to the City Council by citizens
living in the vicinity of this bridge asking that permission
be granted the Boston Elevated Railway Company to put
two tracks over the bridge to connect with the tracks on
Commonwealth avenue in Boston, and no doubt it would be
a great convenience to the public. To make the bridge safe
for that purpose would require a large outlay, and whether
it would be advisable at the present time to do this work or
wait till the two cities are in condition to build an overhead
bridge, wider than the present structure, is a question. It
seems to me the time will soon come when the new overhead
bridge will have to be built. The repairs necessary to make
the present bridge safe for the cars to go over would cost in
the vicinity of $17,000, and after making the repairs the
bridge would be narrow, and not suitable for the traffic going
over it.
Harvard Bridge.
At the date of the last year's report the paving of the
roadway with wooden blocks had not been completed on
account of the stormy weather and the lateness of the
season, which made it necessary to wait till this year before
completing the work. This spring the work was finished,
and the pavement has proved to be a great improvement
over the old plank surface. It is even, and the yearly renewal
and constant patching of the surface is avoided.
The deck of the draw should be reconstructed, as it is
getting out of shape.
The sidewalks for the entire length of the bridge should
be replaced with hard-pine plank. The present asphalt side-
walk is in very bad condition, it is badly broken and the
Boston and Cambridge Bridges. 149
planking under it is decayed. It was patched last year to
make it safe.
The surface of the draw-pier is in poor condition, and
ought to be replanked at once. We have repaired the cap-
ping this year and made some repairs to piers to make them
safe.
The drawtenclers' house was painted outside and inside
with two coats of paint, the work being done by the draw-
tenders. The men have also made quite a lot of other repairs.
The iron fence should be painted this next near.
The incandescent lights are satisfactery, and the effect of
the illumination at night is far better than that of any of the
bridges in the vicinity of Boston and Cambridge. The draw-
tenders clean the electric light globes, see to keeping the
sidewalks free from snow and ice in winter, and do all ordi-
nary repairs.
The traffic over the bridge is increasing every year.
The expenditures by the City of Boston on account of
wood block paving, etc., were as follows :
United States Wood Preserving Company,
wood block paving . . . . . $25,550 67
Geo. McQuesten & Co., lumber . . . 1,011 64
A. A. Libbey & Co., labor .... 471 08
126,933 39
On account of the paving and repairs to its track location
the Boston Elevated Railway Company paid to the City of
Boston the sum of $3,131.26.
North Harvard Bridge.
The fence on the draw was repaired by putting on new
rails ; the bridge and draw were sheathed with two-inch
spruce plank, and other repairs made.
The fences for the entire length, the draw, draw-posts,
and the houses on the piers were painted. This work was
done by the drawtenclers. They also do all ordinary repairs,
sweeping bridge and draw, and cleaning snow and ice from
bridge and piers.
Prison Point Bridge.
The iron girders under the draw were in bad condition,
broken and twisted in such a \v,\y .that it was impossible to
repair them, and to put in new ones would have cost a large
sum of money. It was not thought wise to expend much
for repairs at the present time, as it is soon to be replaced.
150 City Document No. 40.
To relieve the draw and to limit the weight going over it,
the roadwa}'" was narrowed by building sidewalks two feet
six inches wide. If this had not been done we should have
had to close the bridge to travel.
Some of the timbers under the bridge supporting the
roadway were so much decayed at the ends they had to be
pieced out with new hard-pine timber, and other timbers had
to be blocked up. Iron rods were put through the girders
to keep them in place. This work was done from float
staging under the bridge. Four-inch plank were put on the
bridge and draw, and all sheathed with two-inch spruce
plank.
The Boston & Maine Railroad Company are now driving
piles to support a temporarj' bridge across the river and will
build a draw to take the place of the old one. After crossing
the river they will build a temporary overhead street to
Bridge street in Cambridge. The railroad company are
doing this so as not to stop travel while building the perma-
nent overhead structure on the line of the present street
leading from Cambridge to Charlestown, which, when
completed, will be a great benefit to the public and do away
with a most dangerous place, and prevent the present great
delay while the street is closed by trains passing over it.
In addition to the repairs mentioned above there has been
a number of other repairs made to make the bridge and draw
safe for travel.
The drawtenders sweep the bridge and clean off snow and
ice.
Western-avenue Bridge.
On the Boston side, the deck of the bridge and draw was
repaired with four-inch spruce plank and sheathed with two-
inch spruce plank ; new flaps to draw were built, and the fence
on the draw was repaired by putting in new rails. The
capping and surface of the down-stream pier was so much
decayed that it was deemed best to put in new timber and
plank to protect it and make it secure.
The fences, the draw-posts and the houses on the pier
were painted. This work was done by the drawtenders.
The drawtenders also do the cleaning and ordinary repair
work.
West Boston Temporary Bridge.
The traffic on this bridge is increasing, making it neces-
sasy to replank it every year. The flaps of the draw were
repaired and new hinges placed on them.
Boston and Cambridge Bridges.
151
The drawtenders sweep the sidewalk in summer and keep
it free from snow and ice in winter, and do all ordinary
repairs.
The new Cambridge bridge will be completed in about
three years. When completed it will be the finest structure
in the United States.
In General.
The usual statement is appended showing the number of
draw openings, and the number of vessels which passed
through.
The amount of revenue for rents, dockage, etc., during
the year has been $805, one-half of which has been paid to
each city.
The following is a statement of the payments made by the
City of Boston on account of the Boston and Cambridge
bridges from February 1, 1902, to January 31, 1903:

APPENDIX I.
City of Boston, Engineering Department,
50 City Hall, February 1, 1903.
Hon. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Sir, — I herewith submit the following report of the work
done for the Street Department during the year ending
January 1, 1903 :
Brooks Street, Ward 25.
The work of building the retaining walls on each side of
the depressed portion of the street, under the contract with
John F. McBride and Jesse Moulton, dated July 2, 1901,
was completed on May 20, 1902, at a cost of $24,444.17.
The American Bridge Company, under its contract dated
November 22, 1901, completed the steel work for the bridge
over the depressed roadway at the ends of the side roadways
in April, for which it was paid $2,800.
The concrete and asphalt floor of this bridge was laid by
the Boston Asphalt Company, under a contract dated April
28, 1902, at a cost of $750. The work was completed on
May 13.
Railings were built on the bridge and retaining walls by
W. A. Snow & Co., under a contract dated April 5, 1902, at
a cost of $1,277. The work was finished on August 2.
Carleton Street, Retaining Wall.
The work of building, a retaining wall along the westerly
side line of Carleton street, adjoining the tracks of the
Providence Division of the New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford Railroad, between Yarmouth and West Newton streets,
has been prosecuted during the year, and the entire wall was
completed about October 10, 1902.
The work was done under a contract with John Cashman,
dated October 19, 1901.
The portion of the wall as built between Yarmouth street
and Berwick park has a pile and concrete foundation, the
Street Department — Engineering Division. 155
exposed face of the foundation towards the railroad tracks
being of granite. Above the foundation the wall is of brick
masonry 12 inches thick, with pilasters 16 inches square
every six feet. Where this wall supports any portion of the
street it is backed up with Portland cement concrete. The
foundation for the whole wall was designed and built of such
dimensions that it will support a wall of sufficient thickness
to maintain the street if it should ever be rilled to the grade
of the adjoining streets. The brick wall is capped with an
artificial stone coping, and an artificial stone curb is built for
the entire length of the wall.
The portion of the wall between Berwick park and West
Newton street is built of granite, and rests on a pile and
concrete foundation. The wall has a granite coping, the
back of which serves for the street curb. The wall for its
entire length has a wooden fence supported by iron standards
set in the granite or artificial stone coping.
Columbia Road Bridges over Shoreham Street and
N. Y., N. H. & H. R.R,
The flooring and surfaces of the bridges have been built
with the exception of the asphalt sidewalk on the bridge
over the railroad ; this is under contract and will be laid
early in the summer.
The flooring of the bridge over Shoreham street consists of
brick and concrete arches turned between steel beams. This
work was done by W. H. Ellis under a contract dated August
13, 1902, and cost, including the artificial stone sidewalks,
$2,700. The roadway of this bridge is paved with brick, and
was done under a contract with W. H. Ellis at a cost of
$2.45 per square yard.
The flooring of the bridge over the railroad is of hard pine,
and was laid by the Cahill Construction Company under a
contract dated July 23, 1902, for the sum of $3,906. This
bridge was paved with brick by W. H. Ellis.
The iron fences for both bridges were built by P. J. Dinn
& Co. under a contract dated July 9, 1902, at a cost of $848.
Columbia Road.
The filling done under the contract with Simon J. Donovan
dated October 25, 1898, was completed May 27. The total
amount of filling deposited was 136,348 cubic yards at 46 +
cents per cubic yard.
156 City Document No. 40.
Mead Street, Charlestown, Artificial Stone
Steps, Etc.
A flight of artificial stone steps was built in Mead street,
between Russell street and Bunker Hill street. These steps
start at a point about 67 feet east of Russell street at eleva-
tion 57.50, and extend 94.5 feet to elevation 102.00 (a total
rise of 44.5 feet) to a point about 115 feet west of Bunker
Hill street. There are 7 flights of 10 steps each and 6
platforms 5 feet wide. The steps are 12 feet wide in the
clear with buttresses 1.5 feet wide. An iron fence was built
on each buttress with a hand rail in the centre of the steps.
A wing wall was built on the northerly street line extending
32.5 feet from the top; two end walls were built from the
sides of the steps to the street lines, each 7.5 feet long. The
contract for building these steps was awarded to the W. A.
Murtfeldt Co. on June 7, 1902. Work under this contract
was begun June 18, 1902, and completed October 22, 1902,
at the contract price of $4,975.
Southampton-street Bridge.
All work in connection with this bridge, including the
erection of the steel superstructure and the alteration of the
parapet walls to conform to the surface of the street after it
was widened, was finished early in July.
Paving Wharf No. 2, Albany Street.
Plans and specifications have been begun for the recon-
struction of this wharf.
East Boston Ferries.
Examinations and reports were made on the condition of
the piers and drops, and a plan and specifications were made
for the reconstruction of the middle pier at the East Boston
landing of the North Ferry ; no work has yet been done on

APPENDIX J.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF SMOKE INSPECTOR.
64 Pembektok Square,
Boston, February 1, 1903.
Hon. James Donovan,
Superintendent of Streets :
Dear Sir, — I herewith submit a report of the work per-
formed by the office under my charge for your consideration.
During the first half of the year, under normal conditions,
the results' of the labors of the employees of the office were
satisfactory to the public. I arrive at this conclusion owing
to the small number of complaints made. Absolute free-
dom from the smoke nuisance is, of course, an impossibility,
under the present law. From the constant observations of
this office I can state that the laws under which we work
are being observed generally. Wherever by observation or
complaint, reason to find fault with the conditions in any
plant obtained, a personal interview with the owner, always
resulted in a desire on his part to co-operate in the abate-
ment of the nuisance.
During the latter part of the year conditions arose in the
coal supply which made it impossible to secure results as
satisfactory as formerly prevailed. Complaints were numer-
ous and a strict enforcement of the laws would be an impos-
sibility, or an attempt in that direction a hardship or injustice.
P^fforts were accordingly directed to securing the best results
under these conditions. We were constantly on the move,
observing conditions, conferring with engineers and firemen,
or offering suggestions, that the best results might be
obtained. We are now entering upon another year with the
conditions approaching the normal. The period over which
we have just passed has been the means of informing the
164
City Document No. 40.
public more fully as to the requirements and purposes of the
law. The results clearly show the desirability of their
enforcement.
