OF THE
WATEE COMlISSl^jINEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1901.
Office of the Water Commissioner,
City Hall, Boston, February 1, 1901.
Hon. Thomas N. Hart,
Mayor of Boston :
Dear Sir, —7 1 submit herewith the sixth annual report
of the Water Commissioner for the year ending January 31,
1901.
The total receipts from all sources during the year were
$2,560,027.03 ; less refunded water rates, §920 ; making the
net receipts 12,559,107.03. The total current expenditures
from revenue, including interest on funded debt, sinking-
fund requirements, and the Metropolitan water assessment^
were ^$2, 126, 824. 09; leaving a balance which was transferred
to the general revenue of the City of 1133,202.94.
The total amount expended for extension of mains, etc.,
during the year was $411,075.91 ; of which amount the sum
of 824,087.67 was paid from tlie balance of loan brought
over from the previous year, and the remainder, 1386,988.24,
was paid from revenue.
The construction account, as shown on the books Feb-
ruary 1, 1901, was 123,054,387.81, having been increased
during the year to the amount of 8364,604. 06. There is-
still due from the State, under the terms of the settlement of
2 City Document No. 41.^
the claim for the taking of the water supply system by the
Metropolitan Water Board, the sum of 17,531,000, which, if
paid, would reduce the construction account to 115,523,387.81.
The net debt on February 1, 1901, was $1,815,626.90,
being a decrease of $5,620,423.18, a large amount of the
debt having been cancelled with payments made by the State
on account of the taking by the Metropolitan Water Board.
The outstanding water loans February 1, 1900, were
$17,306,273.98, and/oi^ FebrAary 1, 19Q1,; |1;];,9:6.0^273.98,
being a de cr eas e f oi^ tm y e^' ht fe , 3146 , G Q Q ., I % I % \ ^^ ' r
The Metropolitan water , assess j^nent for the year was
1^578,696.96, as against $411^861.54 for the previous year.
At present there is no charge for water made to the City
Departments, which/depriYes< tfiil^ Department bf^ an income^
of previous years amounting to about $200,000 'per 'annum.
The full financial statement will be found on pages 5 to 13.
Less main pipe was laid in 1900 than for several years
previous. This is on account of the fact that fewer men
liave been employed, that the working day has been short-
ened to eight hours, and that about one-half of the whole
work was done in the crowded streets of the City proper.
There was also a decrease in the number of petitions for
main pipe received, there being only 91 during the year end-
ing January 31, 1901, as against 127 received during the
previous year.
The relaying and replacing of the small mains by larger
ones has decidedly improved the fire protection in different
sections of the City.
The Bachelder Independent Valve Hydrant is now the
standard of the Department, and is the only one manufac-
tured.
The breaks in the 30-inch main in Tremont street, at the
Hotel Touraine and opposite Hollis street, and also in the
48-inch main in Brookline, are described in some detail in
the City Engineer's report.
The laying of Shirley Gut pipe is described in detail, with
photographs, in the City Engineer's report.
The Smith Tapping Machine has been adopted for taking
2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch and 6-inch branches from pipes of any
size without shutting off water, and has proved to be of
great value.
A list of contracts made and pending will be found on
pages 14 to 19.
The custom of laying service pipes in new streets, con-
structed under the Act of 1891, Chapter 323, is proving year
after year more expensive to the City, and, so far as the De-
, Water Department. 3
partment can see, the work is of very little value, as it is-
impossible to determine the exact location required for future
service, or the necessary size of the pipe. This matter has
been referred to in previous reports, and I refer to it now in
order to keep the matter before the authorities, hoping that
the act may be modified or repealed. (See report for year
ending January 31, 1898, page 2.)
Under authority given me by Your Honor, the ice plant
belonging to the City was sold, and later a special appropria-
tion of 83,000 was made by the City Council for the fur-
nishing of ice for the ice-water fountams during the past
season.
During the past year the Department has experimented
with a device for cooling water in drinking fountains with-
out the use of ice. The experiment is as follows :
A perforated wrought-iron pipe is sunk into the ground to
the depth of about 100 feet. The perforations in the pipe
allow the water in the soil to circulate freely. Four lines of
small cast-iron pipe, one inch in diameter, are passed inside
of the 8-inch pipe, and this pipe is connected with the City
mains and with a fountain, so that the water from the mains
passes four times through the 8-inch pipe, and is cooled to
nearly the natural temperature of the soil, which does not
vary very much during the year at the depth of 100 feet.
By this means the temperature of the City water is reduced
about 20 degrees, or brought down to about 52 degrees.
The first fountain of this kind was established on Boston
Common near the Frog pond, another on the M-street play-
ground in South Boston, another in Sheridan square at the
junction of Albany and Northampton streets, and another for
horses in Ppst Office square.
Thus far this cooling device has given very good satisfac-
tion, but it will be given a more thorough test before addi-
tional fountains are located, as the experiment has not yet
been carried through an entire season.
Terms of settlement in the claim of the City of Boston
against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on account of
the taking by the Metropolitan Water Board of said City's
water supply system, having been agreed upon by His Excel-
lency the Governor on the part of the Commonwealth and
His Honor the Mayor on the part of the City, the settlement
was consummated on October 19, 1900, with the approval of
the Committee on Claims and of the Mayor, as per authority
granted under an order of the City Council approved Febru-
ary 8, 1896. The vote of the Committee on Claims approv-
ing the settlement was as follows :
4 City Document No. 41.
In Committee on Claims, October 19, 1900.
Voted^ That the settlement made by the Water Commissioner
and the Mayor of the claims of the City against the Common-
wealth, or the Metropolitan Water Board, for damages incurred
or compensation for property taken or acquired by said Common-
wealth or Board under the act establishing said Metropolitan
Water Board, for the sum of twelve million five hundred and
thirty-one thousand (12,531,000) dollars be, and hereby is,
approved, and as a part of said settlement that the City Solicitor
be instructed and authorized to settle the suit of the City of Bos-
ton against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the taking
of its water supply system for the sum of seven million five
hundred and thirty-one thousand (7,531,000) dollars with interest
on said sum after November 1, at the rate of three and one-half
(3J) per cent, per annum, and to execute the necessary papers to
put such settlement into effect, said sum of seven million five
hundred and thirty-one thousand (7,531,000) dollars being bal-
ance due on the above settlement from the Commonwealth after
deducting the sum of five million (5,000,000) dollars which has
been paid by the Metropolitan Water Board on account of said
claims.
This settlement does not include a large amount of prop-
erty still left in the hands of the City, which the Metropolitan
Board should control, such as the Brookline reservoir,
Fisher Hill reservoir. West Roxbury Pumping-station ; the
mains leading from Chestnut Hill reservoir, Fisher Hill
reservoir, and Brookline reservoir through Brookline to the
City ; and the main supply-pipes in Somerville. Most of
this property will eventually be used in common, and should
be under one control, especially Fisher Hill reservoir, which,
although entirely used for the supply of Boston, should be
operated from the pumping-station at Chestnut Hill. At
present there is a very uncertain state of things, as there is a
divided responsibility, and in case of accident it is almost
impossible to decide whether the State or the City is re-
sponsible. These are questions which will have to be con-
sidered and settled definitely in some way, or it may cause a
serious and complicated condition of affairs.
Reports in detail of work performed in the Income
Division, the Distribution Division, and the Engineer's
Department, will be found herewith annexed.
Respectfully,
Augustus P. Martin,
Water Commissioner.

The abatements allowed on account of 1900 assessments, amounting to $23,fi87.85
were due to changes in occupancy of premises, changes in ownership, vacancies,
errors in valuations and assessments, inaccuracy of meters as proved by tests, under-
ground leaks for which the owner could not be held entirely responsible, and for
other reasons, which, in the judgment of the General Superintendent, entitled the
water-taker to consideration.
The abatements on account of 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, and 1899 were due to bills
uncollectible, changes of ownership, failures, shut-oif for non-payment, cleaning up
old accounts, and abatement of City Department accounts to the amount of $411,897.62,
iTuder order of the City Council approved by the Mayor on March 5, 1900.

APPENDIX B.
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTION DIVISION.
Office of the Superintendent,
710 Albany Street, February 1, 1901.
Geneeal a. p. Martin,
Water Commissioner :
I herewith submit the annual report of the Distribution
Division for the year ending January 31, 1901.
Main Pipe.
Twenty and four-tenths miles of main pipe was laid during
the year. Eleven and one-tenth miles was abandoned, and
10,483 feet in Chelsea was taken by the Metropolitan Water
Board — making the total length of the Distribution System
713.4 miles.
In addition to the above (and not included in the total
length of our system) 3,001 feet of hydrant, reservoir and
blow-off pipe was laid, and 1,811 feet abandoned.
There was also laid 691 feet of private main.
Three thousand one hundred and seventy-one feet of main
pipe was relocated, by raising, lowering, or moving laterally.
This work was necessitated chiefly by the abolishment of
grade crossings and street improvements.
About one-half the amount of pipe laid replaced old and
small-sized mains laid some years ago and which have since
become inadequate to the greater demands imposed upon
them by the growth of the City.
The present winter is the first one in the history of the
Department when work was carried on throughout the winter
in the same manner as during the summer ; that is, hereto-
fore, since 1896, during the winter months the main pipe
force was employed upon one or two large jobs in the out-
lying districts where the adverse weather conditions did not
so seriously interfere with the work as it might have within
the City limits. During the present winter, however, we
did considerable relaying in various parts of the City proper
Water Department. 39
where the streets are paved with granite blocks, and it has
proved to be a matter of some expense to maintain the
trenches in a safe condition on account of the repeated settle-
ments due to the frost leaving the ground and other condi-
tions characteristic of spring weather.
The Metropolitan Water Board took for its own use the
following main pipe and fixtures, located in Chelsea, Chelsea
creek and East Boston, between Chelsea bridge on one end
and the East Boston pumping station on the other : 456 feet
30-inch main, 4,760 feet 24-inch main, 4,667 feet 20-
inch main, 595 feet 16-inch main, 5 feet 12-inch main, 35
feet 12-inch B. O. pipe, 90 feet 6-inch B. O. pipe, 40 feet
4-inch B. O. pipe, 200 feet 4-inch hydrant pipe, 3 24-inch
gates, 5 20-inch gates, 1 12-inch gate, 1 12-inch B. O. gate,,
2 6-inch B. O. gates, 2 4-inch B. O. gates, 7 4-inch hydrant
gates, 7 Boston hydrants, 2 air cocks.
Main Gates.
Four hundred and sixty-five of various sized gates were
established ; 210 were abandoned, and 16, in Chelsea, were
taken by the Metropolitan Water Board, making the total
number in use 8,910. Besides these, there were 21 blow-off
gates established and 12 abandoned, and 5, in Chelsea, taken
by the Metropolitan Water Board ; 8 private gates established
and 1 abandoned ; and 4 gates established upon hydrant
branches. This last class of gates enables us to make repairs
upon hydrants without shutting down the lines — an impor-
tant disideratum.
An old style left-handed gate at the corner of Boylston
street and Tremont street was replaced by one of the pattern
in use at the present time.
Air Cocks.
Twenty-seven air cocks were established and 6 abandoned.
Blow-off Cocks.
.Six blow-off cocks were established and 1 abandoned.
Check Valves.
One 8-inch check valve was established upon the Deer
Island System. (Private.)
Hydrants.
Three hundred and ninety-six hydrants were established, and
267 abandoned, and 7, in Chelsea, were taken by the Metro-
40 City Document No. 41.
politan Water Board — making the total number connected
with our system 7,606. The Bachelder pattern of Post hy-
drant was used more extensively this year than previously —
103 being added to the system : the total number now in
service is 175. It is our policy to use this type of hydrant
wherever it is feasible, the Fire Department having shown a
decided preference for it.
One thousand four hundred and seventy-iive bags of salt
were purchased by this Department and delivered to the Fire
Department to be used on hydrant covers during the cold
weather.
One hundred and seventy-nine thousand one hundred and
three inspections of hydrants were made — principally dur-
ing the cold weather — to detect if possible defects in the
working of the hydrants, which if uncorrected might cause
a delay of disastrous consequence in case of fire.
We are considerably annoyed at times as a result of the
rather promiscuous use of hydrants by contractors, corpora-
tions, and City Departments, whose sole desire is to get
water, regardless of the means employed. Sometimes, when
a regular hydrant wrench is not at hand, a Stillson wrench is
employed, with the effect of wearing off the corners of the
nut controlling the valve-stem, and thus rendering the hy-
drant practically useless. Other defects are often caused by
the ignorance and carelessness of the parties mentioned
above, who in my opinion should get water from other
sources. Such an important fixture as a fire hydrant should
be held almost sacred, and should be used exclusively for the
purpose of extinguishing fires. Its efficiency depends to a
great extent upon its readiness for use, and this cannot be
expected where it is operated by careless and mechanically
ignorant persons.
Water Posts.
Twenty-five water posts were established and 11 abandoned
— making the total in use 508. As regards these posts we do
nothing, except upon orders received from the Street Water-
ing Division, which owns them, and pays for their mainte-
nance.
Fountains.
During the year drinking fountains were established as
follows : 2 cold water (artesian well method) for man only, 1
*' ordinary" * for beasts only, 1 cold water (artesian well
* The term "ordinary" is here used to designate those fountains through which
water of a normal temperature flows and not cooled by artificial methods. *
Water Department. 41
method) for beasts only. There were abandoned 2 "ordi-
nary " for man and beast, 1 " ordinary " for man only, and 1
"ordinary" for beasts only. An "ordinary " for man only
was changed to a " cold water " (artesian well method), and
an " ordinary " for beasts only was changed to a " cold
water" (artesian well method). The total number of foun-
tains in use is 121, of which 47 are " ordinaries " for man
and beast combined, 21 " ordinaries " for man only, 35 " cold
water" for man only, 15 "ordinaries" for beasts only, and
2 " cold water " for beasts only.
For the purpose of cooling water for drinking fountains
Sj new system has been inaugurated during the past year.
Artesian wells have been driven at several points to a depth
of about 100 feet, viz.: Boston Common, Second street,
between M street and N street. Post Office square, and the
junction of Northampton street and Albany street. A
wrought-iron pipe, of about eight inches diameter, and of the
-same length as the depth of the well, is lowered into the
bore and forms a sheathing for the same. This pipe is per-
forated with small holes which allow a free passage of the
well-water through the same, and assure a uniformly low
temperature. The supply pipe to the fountain passes through
"the whole length of the well twice. The water flowing
through the pipe is thus cooled by the surrounding well-
-water, and, as it reaches the faucet in the fountain, it is
usually of about 50° Fahrenheit, winter and summer. This
is considered by hygienic authorities as sufficiently cold for
drinking purposes. The expense and bother of replenishing
the ice boxes once or twice a day, as was necessary under
i;he old system, is thus obviated.
Service-Pipes.
One thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight service-
pipes (45,559 feet) of various sizes were laid during the
year, and 364 service-pipes (9,059 feet) were abandoned —
showing a net increase of 1,434 pipes (36,500 feet), and
making the total number of service-pipes of all sizes now in
use 87,525, with an aggregate length of 2,427,671 feet.
Four hundred and twenty-six service-pipes were laid to
unoccupied building lots from which no revenue is at present
derived. They are included in the foregoing statement.
I am now considering a system which I hope to have in
execution the early part of next year, whereby the relative
location of all service-pipes to some fixed point may be more
-easily ascertained than at present. It is now often the case
42 City Document No. 41.
that we have to dig, and, figuratively speaking, grope our way
in an endeavor to locate a service-pipe, for want of definite-
information as to its location.
The cost of service-pipes laid in streets paved with " pitch
and pebble" and asphalt is not to a considerable amount
covered by the schedule rates charged for the pipes. This^
question will require serious consideration in the very near
future.
Maintenance.
Repairs of all kind and of varied extent were made upon
main-pipe, service-pipes, hydrants, etc., during the year^
There were 549 main-pipe repairs ; 12,110 service-pipe
repairs ; 4,268 hydrant repairs ; 4,058 hydrant and gate box
repairs; 450 fountain repairs; 1,268 street repairs; 701 dead
ends blown off; 7,165 gates tested m service ; 6,511 hydrants
tested in service ; 8,549 gate covers salted in cold weather,
and a great deal of miscellaneous work of maintenance-
character.
The most important break that we had occurred August
8 in the 30-inch low service main in Tremont street,
opposite the Hotel Touraine. The water escaped in great
quantities, flooding manj- cellars in the vicinity. It cost
12,204.52 to repair the pipe, the street and pavement torn
up by the water, and to pump out the cellars into which the
water entered. Five thousand one hundred and eighty-two
dollars and eighty-nine cents was expended in stripping this
main between Boylston and Eliot streets, after the break was
repaired, for the purpose of discovering any weakness that
might exist, and strengtheniEg it where we considered it
necessary. There are now in the hands of the Law Depart-
ment awaiting settlement, 34 claims for alleged damages
resulting from this break.
Upon September 5 a leak occurred in the same main at a
point in Tremont street, opposite Hollis street. The cost of
making repairs was |435.10. Both of these leaks were
caused by settlement, due, no doubt, to the unsettled con-
dition of the street since it was disturbed by Subway con-
struction.
Between October 20 and December 26 we had a series of
six breaks in the 48-inch low service main in and near Clin-
ton road, Brookline. These were caused by a combination
of increased pressure, poor castings, and settlement. The
aggregate cost of repairing the same was §4,348.93, with a
charge from Contractor DriscoU, of Brookline, for repairing
the roads torn up by the escaping water to be included.
Water Department. 43
The 1,268 street repairs, which class of work is rapidly
becoming both extensive and expensive, on account of the
greater number of "pitch and pebble" and asphalt streets
than formerly, varied in expense from $1 to |518.
A very desirable class of work performed during the year
was the building of 34 brick gate-chambers, replacing wooden
boxes. Brick gate-chambers for large gates are obviously an
improvement over wooden boxes. Thirty-one brick cham-
bers with wooden tops were fitted with brick tops, thus mak-
ing the entire chamber of brick.
We are caused considerable expense by relocating our
mains in response to the requests of the Sewer Division, the
construction work of which very frequently comes in contact
with our system. No reimbursement is made to this Depart-
ment for this outlay.
Early in the year an important change was made in the
method of supplying steam for heatingN our building at 710
Albany street. The exhaust from the engine was utilized,
and instead of, as formerly, escaping into the air, it circulates
through the heating apparatus of the building and returns to
the boiler and is again used for power purposes. This results
in a material saving in fuel.
An inspection of the statement appended, showing the
manufactures of the machine and carpenter shops, will give
an idea of what this branch of the service is doing. In addi-
tion, however, to the manufacture of stock, these shops per-
form a great amount of work of a most diversified nature,
necessary to the maintenance of a plant as large as ours. It
is of very rare occurrence that we have to call upon outside
mechanics or artisans.
Care and attention have been given to the various yards,
buildings, reservoirs, and properties of the Department, and
they are all in first-class condition.
An auction sale was held January 29, 1901, by which, in
addition to large lots of cast-iron and composition junk, a
great variety of old and useless material — the accumulation
of years — was disposed of to advantage to the Department.
Some of the larger items were : 227 tons of cast-iron junk ;
4 tons composition and brass chips; 4 tons of brass and com-
position junk ; 2,700 feet of f -inch wrought-iron pipe and fit-
tings for same ; one Sturtevant Heating System, complete ;
12 jack screws; 1,000 pounds tire steel; 26 wagon springs;
1 tip-cart and harness; 4 buggies ; 3 wagons; 11 sleighs;
and about 150 other lots of varying quantity and quality, for
which we received, after deducting the expense of the sale,
15,601.76.

Fire Reservoies.
The fire reservoir in Anderson street, opposite the Phillips
School-house, together with the 4-inch connection between it
and our system, was abandoned.
Harbor Service.
The additional 12-inch supply laid across Moon Island in
1899 was connected at the sea-wall with the pipe crossing
the harbor to Long Island. The usual care and attention were
given to the various lines of pipe in the harbor. Bulkheads
were built along the shores of the different islands to pro-
tect the pipes from the effects of the waves. A sign warning
vessels from anchoring in the vicinity of our pipes was built
on Rainsford Island ; and old signs of a similar character
at other points were repainted.
Appended you will find tables showing details of the work
performed, and schedule of stock owned by the Department
January 31, 1901. ^
Respectfully yours,
William J. Welch,
Superintendent.

APPENDIX C.
REPORT OF THE ENGINEER.
Engineebing Department,
50 City Hall, February 1, 1901.
Gen. a. p. Martin,
Water Oommissioner :
Sir, — I hereby submit the following report of the work
done and the records kept during the past year :
During the past year 20.4 miles of main pipe hare been
laid and 11.1 miles abandoned, making a net increase of 9.3
miles, and a total length in the system of 713.4 miles. The
following classification will indicate to some extent the
character of the work done:
Miles.
(1) Extension of large supply mains . . . 1.0
(2) Extension of mains for new buildings (by
petition) ....... 5.6
(3) Relaying old or small mains .... 4.4
(4) Relaying in advance of street construction . 6.0
(5) Miscellaneous work largely necessitated by other
construction . . . . . .3.4
The most important work done during the year is as
follows :
The 30-inch high service main was extended in Washing-
ton street, Dorchester, from Bowdoin street to Talbot avenue,
there connecting with a 16-inch line. A 20-inch main was
laid in B street, South Boston, from Danby to Claflin street,
thence crossing under twenty-three freight tracks of the
N. Y., N. H. & H. R.R. and through Binford street to A
street ; this line materially improves the fire service in a
district where values are rapidly growing. A 24-inch pipe
was laid from the 30-inch high service main on the Common
to the subway, it there divides into three 16-inch pipes, which
pass over the subway roof in channels provided for the
purpose, and which are each connected with the 16-inch line
in Tremont street.
Water Department. 129
The new location of the Boston & Providence R.R. made
it necessary at Castle square to abandon two lines of 30-inch
pipe for a distance of about 120 feet; four lines of 20-inch
steel pipes were substituted for them and were carried under
the floor of the new highway bridge over the railroad tracks
and connected by 30^^ X 20^' Y branches on each end ; in
addition to being enclosed in tight boxes formed by special
bridge construction the steel pipes were" covered by Voorhees
patent insulation as a further protection from freezing.
The work of abolishing the grade crossing at Cambridge
street, Charlestown, carried out by the B. & M. R.R., caused
a number of changes in the water pipes in that vicinity —
820 feet of 30-inch wrought-iron cement-lined pipe was
abandoned in Cambridge and Perkins streets, and a like
amount of 30-inch cast-iron pipe was laid in the same streets
to replace it; the old cement-lined pipe, laid in 1869, was
found to be remarkably clean on the inside ; its wrought-iron
shell, originally 0.16-inches thick was reduced in spots by
rusting to a thickness of 0.11 inches, and the cement lining
and covering showed but slight tensile strength ; 3,150 feet
of 12-inch pipe was laid in Cambridge street and in other
streets affected by the change of grade, replacing in each case
pipe of a small size ; also 680 feet of 6-inch was relaid in
different streets.
The following work was done in connection with the
changes of grade on Dorchester avenue, Boston street and
Swett street.
1,266 feet of 16-inch pipe was laid in Dorchester ave., replacing 12-inch.

The 12-inch mains in Atlantic avenue and Commercial
street, from Oliver to Prince, and the 6-inch main in Clinton
street, from Commercial to Atlantic avenue, were relaid with
16-inch pipe, making a great improvement in the fire service
of the north-eastern section of the City.
A 16-inch main was laid in Summer street, from Dewey
square to the foot of Bedford street, replacing a 12-inch pipe.
130 City Document No. 41.
The 16-inch main in Western avenue, Brighton, was
extended from Everett street to Market street, replacing
a 12-inch main.
A 16-inch main was laid in Blue Hill avenue, Dorchester,
from Gaston to Edgewood street, replacing an 8-inch pipe.
A 16-inch main was laid in Corinth street, West Roxbury,
from Birch to Washington street, replacing a 6-inch. pipe.
A 12-inch main was laid on each side of Washington
street, from Canton street to Northampton street, replac-
ing a single Ime of 6-inch pipe and reinforcing the supply in
a district where the fire supply was altogether inadequate.
A number of other streets in different parts of the City
were relaid with 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch pipe, to improve
the existing service ; about one-half the total amount of work
done throughout the year was of this class.
In relaying practically no leaks have been found in the
joints of the old pipes, and the fact that no considerable
amount of water is wasted in this way is a tribute to careful
and effective work.
Considerable attention has been given to improving the
designs of the gates and hydrants ; the old B. W. W. type of
gate, with body in three pieces, and with heavy lead joints, is
being given up as fast as new drawings, patterns, etc., can
be made. The type of gate adopted is equally durable,
much lighter, and consequently more economical. The
Bachelder independent valve hydrant is now being manufact-
ured exclusively, from drawings made in this office ; each
outlet is controlled by its own valve, making it possible, with-
out shutting off the water, to connect a second and third
engine to a hydrant already in use.
The patterns owned by the Water Department (400 in
number comprising 2,100 different parts) have been marked
with composition letters and listed in a '' Pattern Book ; "
a room has been set apart for their storage with stalls, shelves,
etc., suitably marked.
Electrolysis.
While the water-pipe system of the City has not suffered
from electrolysis in the past to so great an extent as was
feared, there is reason to believe that the conditions are grow-
ing worse, and that something must be done or the pipe sys-
tem will suffer serious damage.
The accompanying report of Messrs. Stone and Webster
shows the special work which has been done during the past
year to determine the electrical condition of the pipe system
Water Department. 131
and in addition to this special work a large number of obser-
vations were made when pipes were exposed in excavations ;
these observations cover every section of the City, and show
that serious damage is being done to services in some places.
William Jackson, Esq., City Engineer^
City Hall, Boston, Mass. :
Dear Sir, — In our report on the electrolysis of water pipes
for the year 1899 we considered in detail the voltmeter readings
in various sections of the City, paying much attention to a com-
parison with what we had found the preceding year. In our
investigations for 1900 we have not deemed it essential to take
so many readings or to make so detailed a comparison, for the
reason that we find the conditions varying so little from year to
year. Therefore, in this report we make but a general compari-
son of the conditions in 1899 and 1900, emphasizing only such
points as we believe of particular importance, notably the serious
conditions that still prevail in the Field's Corner District.
In 1899 we made two electrical surveys of the City, taking
about 450 voltmeter readings each time; in 1900 we took hardly
more than 250 such readings, a sufficient number, however,
to enable us to report with much certainty upon the general con-
ditions. From the accompanying tables it will be seen that the
grand averages of the two years are about the same, 1 volt being
the positive average for 1899, and 1.1 for 1900; 1 and 1.1 the
negative averages for 1899, and 1.3 for 1900. So also with
the maximum readings, + 6 being the highest positive reading
for 1899 and + 6 for 1900 ; — 10 the highest negative reading for
1899 and — 12 for 1900. Therefore, we consider the conditions
about the same for the two years, with certainly no general im-
provement for 1900. In considering the Boston Elevated Rail-
way system apart from the others, it will be seen that likewise
the conditions for the two years were about the same. Owing to
a new fine having been opened on Commonwealth avenue to
Chestnut Hill Reservoir there is a local increase in the size of the
readings in Brighton, and we should expect this slight difference
on account of the unusually heavy grade on that avenue.
The other roads, taken by themselves, show, on an average,
conditions somewhat for the worse.
We use in making up our averages only the maximum read-
ings ; therefore where we took but a single reading in any district
this will be the average as well as the maximum. In one instance
(Lynn & Boston Railroad, on Breed's Island), the fluctuation
was from — .5 to — 9.5, according to the position of the cars.
But we used only — 9.5 in making up our averages. We may
further add that where there is the most uninterrupted traffic, and
consequently the most continuous flow of current, the readings
are apt to be the steadiest, the maximum, minimum and average
132 City Document No. 41.
tending to become one and the same. Much variation in voltage
generally indicates an inferior return circuit, but the greatest
fluctuations are apt to be in districts where the traffic is light,
hence are not a sure sign that there is any very large flow of
current on to the pipe system. The above case is where a single
car caused almost the entire movement of the needle, and, being
in a negative district, we do not consider it cause for alarm.
The troubles to pipe caused by the Lynn & Boston Railroad are
likely to be on some other water system than that belonging to
the City of Boston.
The West Roxbury & Roslindale Street Railway has com-
paratively light traffic, and, although we found — 12 volts on
Oakland street, the needle only shot up to that figure momenta-
rily, so we are not prepared to say that serious trouble is immi-
nent because of this reading.
High + readings on River street, in the Mattapan district of
the Norfolk- Suburban Street Railway, still maintain, and there we
expect that trouble will soon be apparent.
We come now to a point to which your attention should be
particularly called, namely, corrosion along Park street, Dor-
chester avenue, and Neponset avenue, in the Field's Corner
district of Dorchester. We have been accustomed to ask for
special excavations in order to examine the service pipes of this
district, and last year we reported the notes that we made on
several of these investigations. So evident is it now, however,
that the lead services in this locality are being seriously injured
that we no longer think it worth while to have special excavations
made beyond those that are necessitated by the frequent cases of
bursted pipes.
Since our last report, breaks at the following places have
occurred, all of which cases we attribute to electrolysis :
June 8, 1900, No. 1294 Dorchester avenue, between Linden
and Leedsdale streets.
July 20, No. 208 Neponset avenue, opposite Boutwell avenue.
January 25, 1901, No. 117 Park street.
February 21, Neponset avenue and King street.
March 1, No. 105 Park street.
March 7, Park street, near corner of G-eneva avenue.
These vary in distance from the power station from one-half
mile to one mile. Within these limits we should expect to find
corrosion on almost any of the services.
Believing that the mains themselves were probably affected, we
had six excavations made on July 23, 1900, all on Park street,
between Adams street and Dorchester avenue, the short section
where the services have suffered the most injury. We found,
however, almost no corrosion beyond the usual surface rust,
except in one instance. There, on the bell of the joint, the
graphite formation could be shaved to a slight depth with a knife.
Although the mains have, so far as we know, shown no marked
corrosion, we should be surprised to learn that they are absolutely
free. We happen to have found almost no signs of electrolytic

injury to mains in that district, but of course this does not prove
that the injury is not going on in sections adjacent to where we
made our inspections.
In other localities there have been cases of bursting pipes, but
only in the case, at the corner of Harrison avenue and Massachu-
setts avenue, do we attribute the trouble to electrolysis. Along
here we had four excavations made in order to examine the con-
ditions. Only slight traces of corrosion were found.
There was during the winter a break on Clinton street, another
on Atlantic avenue, corner Summer street, another on Causeway
street, between Friend and Portland streets, none of which do we
think were due to electrolysis, unless it took place years ago, for
the voltmeter readings have for several years past indicated that
in these localities the current flows on to the pipes and not off of
them, and there is no indication that the bursting was due to
corrosion at the joints.

In General.
During the year there has been an unusual number of
breaks in large mains. On August 8 the easterly 30-inch
main in Tremont street broke about 70 feet south of Boyls-
ton street. At this point the original line of main pipe, laid
about 1850, had been supported during the construction of
the subway, the excavation for which extended 17 feet be-
low the pipe ; when uncovered a rigid support in brick-
work was found a few feet south of the break, while north-
erly no rigid support was found for a distance of 21 feet.
The pipe was of normal thickness, and the iron of excellent
quality. This main was uncovered for a distance of 220
feet between Boylston and Eliot streets, its position in rela-
tion to the subway being practically the same as at the point
134 City Document No. 41.
where the break occurred ; the supports were found to vary
in character, at one point the pipe being in immediate danger
of failing, the old supports were removed and new ones
of a uniform character were built under the pipe for the
entire distance. A further examination of the conditions
under this main should be made still further south of Tre-
mont street. The easterly 30-inch main on Tremont street
again broke on September 5, opposite Hollis street. At this
point the pipe had been supported during the construction of
the subway below it ; when the broken pipe was removed it
was found to have rested directly upon a short upright piece of
8 X 8-inch spruce, imbedded in cement at the point where
the break occurred. Between October 19 and December 5
six breaks occurred in the 48-inch main which runs from
Chestnut Hill reservoir to Boylston street, Brookline, con-
necting with the three large mains from the Brookline reser-
voir; this main was laid in 1868, and up to the time of the
first break had been connected directly with Chestnut Hill
reservoir, and consequently had been subjected to a head not
exceeding 1 5 pounds ; the immediate cause of the develop-
ment of the breaks was an increased pressure on the low
service of the City furnished by the Metropolitan Water
Board, which increase, the main, if of normal condition, should
have easily withstood. The broken pieces indicated in two
or three cases at least the existence of old cracks, and in
most of the samples tested the iron was found to be of
inferior quality. The line is now in service under a pres-
sure of over 30 pounds. The following is a statement of
tests made of pieces cut from broken pipes :

136 City Document No. 41.
In view of the dangerous and uncertain conditions existing
at Shirley Gut it was decided to lay a second main under the
Gut to Deer Island. The new line was located about 350
feet west of the 8-inch line laid in 1896, at a point where the
channel is 150 feet wide at low water mark. After a trench
had been dredged across the channel a line of 12-inch flexible
pipe, which had previously been made up on rolls on the
Winthrop shore, was hauled across the channel by steam
power, the friction of the pipe on the bottom of the channel
being reduced by empty oil casks attached to the pipe. The
trench was then refilled. A test showed the line to be prac-
tically tight. The pipe used, shown in cut on opposite page,
was of special design ; the fact that the lead must remain in
the bell, whatever position the pipe assumes, is believed to be
of advantage in sub-aqueous work.
On May 10 the Metropolitan Water Board made a taking
of the lines which formerly supplied East Boston and
Chelsea, from the Boston side of the Mystic draw, through
Chelsea and across Chelsea creek to East Boston, a total
length of about 10,600 feet of pipe. A 21-inch siphon is
now being laid under the Mystic river by the Metropolitan
Board, they having removed the old 24-inch and SO-inck
siphons, both of which were broken.
Respectfully submitted,
William Jackson,
City Engineer.
