For detailed account of expenditures, condition of water

Outside of the general work incident to the maintenance,
of the department a 36-inch main has been laid from Wash-
ington street at Boylston street to Post Office square at
Milk and Congress streets, via Essex, Kingston, Otis, Frank-
lin and Congress streets, and a continuation of this line
with 24-inch pipe through Post Office square and Water
street to Washington street to take the place of the 24-inch
low service main in Washington street which had to be
abandoned on account of the building of the Washington
street subway.
During the year a tunnel has been constructed for a large
water main across Fort Point channel to augment the water
supply to that part of the business section of the city on the
south side of said channel, one object of this tunnel line
being to furnish an adequate supply of water for fire protec-
tion to a section which has grown very rapidly within the
past few years, consequently greatly increasing the fire risk.

Mk. Eugene S. Sullivan,
Water Commissioner :
Dear Sir, — Herewith follows the annual report of the

Service Division covers the financial year ending January 31,
1905 ; the remainder of the report is rendered for the calen-
dar year ending December 31, 1904 — it being impracticable,
owing to the nature of our accounts, to render it for the
financial year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. Caldwell,
Greneral Superintendent hicome Division.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEER.
City of Boston,
Engineeking Department,
50 City Hall, January 31, 1905.
E. S. Sullivan, Esq.
Water Commissioner :
Dear Sir, — The following is some of the most impor-
tant work done during the past year :
The construction of the Stony Brook conduit in Charles-
gate East made it necessary to abandon 300 feet of 48-inch
main, which crossed the conduit location immediately north
of Commonwealth avenue bridge, under the outlet channel
of the Back Bay Fens; the main was relocated over the
bridge, and reduced for a distance of 118 feet, within the
limits of bridge and conduit, to a 36-inch pipe.
Owing to the proposed subway construction in Washing-
ton street it was considered inadvisable to attempt to main-
tain the 24-inch L. S. main in that street between Boylston
and AVater streets. A 36-inch main was therefore laicl from
Washington street at Boylston to Milk street, via Essex,
Kingston, Otis, Devonshire, Franklin and Congress streets;
thence a 24-inch main via Post Office square and Water
street was laid and connected with the existing 24-inch main
in Washington street at Water street ; connections with these
new mains were made on Essex street at Oxford street, on
Bedford street, on Franklin street, on Milk street and on
Water street; 30-inch branches were established at Congress
street for the proposed extension to South Boston and at
Milk street for the proposed extension northerly. A total
curvature of 630° was made in 2,974 lineal feet of the 36-inch
pipe, using 18 one-sixteenth and 20 one-thirty-second curves;
in 524 feet of 24-inch pipe the total curvature was 607° 30'.
and 6 one-eighth and 15 one-sixteenth bends were used.
The work was done by the regular force of the Water
Department, and was necessarily slow and expensive, as
obstacles were continually encountered: for a large part of
the distance, particularly at street crossings, the location
of so large a pipe virtually meant the reconstruction of
existing systems of conduits, water and gas pipes, electric
tubes, sewers, etc. The location of this main is through the
Water Department. 65
centre of the Low Service business district, making it pos-
sible to develop the distribution system in that territory to
the best advantage.
The 30-inch H. S. main in Washington street, Dorchester,
was extended from Fairmount street to Codman street,
thence a 20-inch main was laid in Codman street to Dorches-
ter avenue and connected with the 12-inch H. S. pipe at that
point.
The following work was done for the improvement of the
fire service :
1,327 feet 16-inch pipe laid, replacing 12-inch.
12,562 " 12-inch " " " 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch.
4,154 " 10-inch '' " " 6-inch and 4-inch.
3,438 '' 8-inch " " " 6 -inch and 4-inch.
The first step was taken during the past year towards fur-
nishing an improved L. S. and H. S. supply to South Boston
flats by the construction of a tunnel under Fort Point chan-
nel, immediately south of Congress street bridge. The tunnel
is of brick, in the form of an inverted siphon, to carry a
30-inch L. S. and a 24-inch H. S. water pipe. The
shafts are 7i feet in diameter with brick walls 16
inches thick ; they are enclosed in a steel cylinder i inch
thick, from their top to a point about 20 feet below the
bottom of the channel, and are protected by substantial cir-
cular fenders. The horizontal portion of the tunnel, 119 feet
long, is circular, 8 feet in diameter, and is lined with 12-inch
brickwork; its top is at grade — 38, the present bottom of
channel being grade — 18, and the proposed grade for future
dredging being — 23. The material excavated was stiff blue
clay with sand seams ; the work was done under air pressure.
The thawing of frozen service pipes by electricity was
successfully continued during the past winter.
The work of electrical investigation has been carried on
throughout the year. In addition to surveys made to deter-
mine the difference of potential between pipe and rails,
twenty-nine " permanent stations " have been established for
measuring approximately the actual flow of electricity upon
the pipes. These "stations" are made by inserting brass
plugs 10 feet apart into a water pipe, and from the plugs No.
10 insulated wire is brought to the surface of the ground.
The difference of potential at the ends of the wires is deter-
mined, and the approximate flow on the pipe is estimated,
the resistance per pound per foot of cast-iron water pipe hav-
ing been previously determined by experiment. A number
66 City Document No. 43.
of test pits have been dug and many volt-meter and ammeter
readings have been taken in other excavations ; the actual
condition of pipes examined has been carefully noted, plaster
casts and photographs being made in many cases.
Damage is being done to the water pipes by electrolysis,
notably in the vicinity of the large power stations of the
Boston Elevated Railway.
Respectfully submitted,
William Jackson,
Cit^ Engineer.
