REPORT OF INCOME DIVISION.
Office of General Superintendent,
City Hall, Boston, February 1, 1907.
William J. Welch, Esq.,
Water Commissioner :
Deae, Sir, — I submit herewith the annual report of the
Income Division, Water Department. The report of the
Meter Service Division covers the financial year ending Jan-
uary 31, 1907; the remainder of the report is rendered for
the calendar year ending December 31, 1906 — it being
impracticable, owing to the nature of our accounts, to render
it for the financial year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. Caldwell,
General Superintendent Income Divisioji.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEER.
City of Boston,
- - ENGlNEEKINa DEPARTMENT,
50 City Hall, January 31, 1907.
William J. Welch, Esq.,
Water Commissioner :
Dear Sir, — A large part of the work done during the
past year was of a routine character. In order to decrease
the excessive loss of head existing on the low service between
Chestnut Hill' reservoir and the city proper it was decided to
lay a -iS-inch main from the 30-inch and 36-inch mains in
Tremont street, via Prentiss street and Longwood avenue, to
coimect with the 40-inch main in Brookline avenue, and
thence to extend it in the hear future to connect with the
48-inch main in Beacon street, Brookline, at Coolidge
Corner. A beginning was made on this work during the
year by laying 1,462 feet of 48-inch pipe in Longwood
avenue, westerly from Huntington avenue.
The work of replacing the old 30-inch main in Tremont
street, begun in 1903, w^as continued, and 568 feet of pipe
was laid from Kendall street to a point near Burke street,
where the old pipe was found to be in good condition. The
old 30-inch main from Massachusetts avenue to Burke street
was abandoned.
A large amount of miscellaneous work was done in con-
nection with the construction of the subway in Washington
street; it was necessary to abandon the 24-inch main in
Union street, Haymarket square and Merrimac street, from
Hanover street to Canal street, and the 20-inch main in
Washington street North, from Union street to Stillman
street; to replace these pipes a 30-inch pipe was laid from
the 30-inch main in Traverse street, via Haverhill street,
Stillman street and Endicott street, to Cross street, where a
30-inch branch was left for a future extension ; from this
point a 24-inch pipe was laid in Endicott street to Hanover
street and the old 24-inch pipe in Hanover street was relaid.
The 24-inch main in Washington street was relaid from State
street to Adams square. All of these large mains, abandoned
on account of the subway construction, were a part of the
original distribution system.
Water Department. • 71
Considerable progress was made in the work of extending
the high and low service systems to the South Boston flats,
226 feet of 24-inch and 959 feet of 16-inch pipe being laid,
principally in Congress street.
The work of increasing the supply of water for fire pur-
poses was continued, and improvements in this line were
made in different parts of the city, notably in Charlestown,
where about one mile of 12-inch pipe, supplying hydrants,
was laid in the yards of the Boston &; Maine Railroad, west
of Rutherford avenue ; this work has greatly lessened the
serious danger which threatened Charlestown from fires
originating in the Boston & Maine Railroad freight sheds,
which extend along Rutherford avenue from the State Prison
almost to Cambridge street.
A 2-inch lead pipe, laid in 1895 from Moon Island to
Long Island, was taken up and was laid between Long and
Rainsford Islands to serve as an emergency pipe, as the
existing 4-inch flexible pipe had failed several times.
Electrical investigations have been continued, and addi-
tional evidence has been found that serious damage is being
done to the water pipe system by electrolysis.
Respectfully submitted,
William Jackson,
City Engineer.
