ANNUAL REPORT 


OF THE 


MARKET DEPARTMENT, 


FOR THE YEAR 1894. 


OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MARKETS, 
Boston, February 12, 1895. 
Hon. Epwin U. Curtis, 
Mayor of the City of Boston: 

Dear Sir: In contormity to Chapter 3, Section 22, of 
the Revised Ordinances I herewith submit the annual report 
for the Department of Markets, ending January 31, 1895: 

The work of the department during the year has been of 
the regular routine nature. 

That part of the buildings used for market purposes is in 
good repair. Many alterations and repairs which are an im- 
provement to the property have been made, the expense for 
which has been incurred by the lessees. 

The rents have been promptly paid, the regulations and 
ordinances for the government of the market have been 
cheerfully complied with, and the reputation of the market 
for honorable dealing has been well sustained. 

The question of providing a better system of drainage for 
the markets, which has been urged for several years, and for 
which an appropriation of $10,000 was made in 1894, is 
being forwarded under the direction of the Superintendent 
of Public Buildings, and will, when completed, remove the 
annoyances to which the department has been subjected in 
the matter of drainage. 


2 Ciry Document No. 22. 


During the year [ have condemned and ordered to be de- 
stroyed, as being unfit to be used for food, 905 Ibs. poultry, 
339 lbs. veal, 83 rabbits, 2 barrels mackerel, and 400 Ibs. 
of other kinds of fish, besides large quantities of fruit and 

vegetables which have been sent to the dumping-scow. 

The Market Police have made one hundred and thirty-six | 
(136) arrests for various offences, as follows: drunkenness, 
47; larceny, 41; assault and battery, 18; embezzlement, 8 ; 
removing refuse from barrels, 7; obtaining goods under false 
pretences, 6; using profane language, 4; breaking and enter- 
ing, 2; picking pockets, selling tainted ‘poultry and tainted 
fish, 1 ‘each, — making a total of 136 arrests, 

The question of pr roviding room for market gardeners 
should receive the early attention of the City ~ Council. 
Since the opening of the markets accommodations have been 
given the farmer to bring his merchandise to the market and 
have a place assigned him for the sale of the same. About 
the year 1850 the number of farmers had so increased that 
they were obliged to take places outside the market limits, 
and then ranged their wagons along Commercial street from 
State to Richmond streets, and on State street from Com- 
mercial street to Merchants row. ‘The business carried on 
ut these locations so changed that some five or six years ago 
the farmers were forced to look elsewhere for accommoda- 
tions, and ranged themselves on State street, between 
Commercial street and Atlantic avenue, occupying the 
centre of the street, and leaving room on either side for two 
wagons to pass one another. This arrangement has pro- 
vided room for about 200 farmers’ wagons. 

I understand, however, that during the latter part of the 
season of 1894 some opposition was manifested to this 
arrangement by business men on State street. For three or 
four days each week during the busy season of the year 
(say from the middle of June until the first of October) we 
have frequently from 350 to 450 farmers occupying stands 
for the sale of the products of the farm. Unless some place 
can be provided for them they will be obliged to find other 
means .of disposing of their produce, which would be a 
great injury to our citizens, as prices would of necessity be 
much higher than if they could have the privilege of selling 
their eoods as they have always enjoyed. I am of the 
opinion that it would be for the interests of all that some 
provision should be made in this direction, and, if necessary 
so to do, the City Council should give them the privi- 
lege of standing on some of the streets adjacent to the market 
limits. If this were done, and the farmers placed under 
proper police regulations, I feel satisfied that any annoyance 


Market DEPARTMENT. 3 


they may have caused in the past would be avoided, and the 
parties doing business on the street where they were located 
would be benefited rather than injured by these parties hav- 
ing the privilege of standing their wagons for the sale of 
their farm products. 

The income from the Department of Markets for the year 
1894 has been as follows : 


From rents of stalls and cellars in F. H.

ANNUAL REPORT 


OF THE 


MOUNT HOPE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT, 


POR. THE ey BA Ry 1894. 


Boston, February 1, 1895. 


Hon. Epwin U. Curtis, 
Mayor of the City of Boston: 


Sir: The Board of Trustees of Mount Hope Cemetery 
Department respectfully submit the following report of the 
department for the year.1894 and January 1895, inclusive : 

There was no balance in the treasury on the thirty-first 
day of January, 1894. 

The income of the Perpetual Care Fund for the year 1894 
was $1,731.01. 

The regular appropriation for the general fund was 
$10,000. . 

The revenue derived from the cemetery for the financial 
year commencing on February 1, 1894, and ending January 
31, 1895, was $22,209.70, making the total amount for expen- 
ditures under the regulations of the Trustees, $33,940.71. 


Work PERFORMED IN THE CEMETERY IN 1894. 


In addition to the usual work necessary for the care of 
lots and the grounds, there have been 9,224 square feet of 
land prepared for lots and singles graves, the ground thus 
prepared being divided into 14 Icts and 156 single graves. 
All available time has been devoted to improving the condi-

tion of the avenues. Walnut avenue was raised and stoned 
its entire length; in all 3,425 linear feet of avenues repaired 
and gutters and wells constructed on same. There were 160 
monuments and tablets erected during the year; 61 lots 
were loamed and seeded. There are 50 lots for sale, ranging 
in size from 80 to 300 square feet, and 80 single graves. 

An event of much importance in the dev elopment of the 
cemetery was the laying out of an extensive lot presented 
to the Grand Lodge of Masons by one of its members. 
The lot adjoins the Consistory lot, on each of which is an 
imposing monument. ‘Twenty-one ‘lots were sold, for which 
$5,190 was received, this amount including perpetual care. 
There were 1,902 interments in the cemetery during the 
year.

To the sum of $84,621.75, given directly to the poor, 
should be added the sum of 4, 426.84 paid for burials, the 
sum of $5,752.77 paid for support of the Temporary Home, 
and the further sum of $8,294.04 paid for support of the 
Lodge for Wayfarers ; making a total of $103,095.40 actually 
paid out by the Overseers of the Poor from the tax levy for 
the direct relief of the poor. The Board also disbursed as 
trustees the further sum of $34,125 to the various pensioners 
and beneficiaries adjudged worthy and falling within the 
provisions of the trusts, not including $2,000 for the Trust 
Fund wood-yard.

IMPROVED CONDITION OF THE POOR. 


It is pleasant to be able to record the fact that there has 
been much less suffering among the poor this winter than 
last winter. Our visitors all agree that there are few cases 
of great destitution and little actual suffering for want of 
food. The statistics given elsewhere show that the number 
of families applying and aided have largely decreased, 
although we have not yet got back to the figures of two 
years ago. 

Our figures from month to month show a continuous in- 
crease over the previous year till December, 1894, when, the 
first decrease appeared; 129 less families being aided that 
month than in December, 1893. In January, 1895, came 

a still larger decrease, 450 less families being aided than in 
cane 1894. 

The number of new applications for aid fell off largely in 
the two months of December and January this winter, there 
being only 270 new cases in these two months, as against 
850 in the same months last winter, or a decrease of 65 per 
cent. in the number of new applications. 

After the hard times of 1873, it was about ten years be- 
fore we got back to the normal state of things, but the stress ~ 
of last year was so largely artificial and so ; much increased 
by factitious causes, the most potent of which was the great 
amount of newspaper advertising, that we anticipate a much 
quicker recovery than if the distress had been more real in 
its nature. We therefore hope that the coming year will 
witness a return to nearly normal conditions. 


THe Work TEstT. 


The Board has continued to demand work of all able- 
bodied male applicants in return for groceries and coal fur- 
nished their families. The number of men wor king in this 
way has increased largely during the last two years, owing

WAYFARERS’ LODGE AND Woop-Y ARD. 


The Wayfarers’ Lodge was established by the Board some 
sixteen years ago, with the intention of doing away with the 
tramp evil in Boston, so far as possible. Prior to that time 
the tramps who came to Boston were allowed to sleep in sta- 
tion-houses, and were turned adrift inthe morning without hav- 
ing had any opportunity to labor or in any way recompense 
the city for their accommodation. It was hoped that all the 
tramps coming to Boston would be cared for by the Way- 
farers’ Lodge. Gradually, however, the police got into the 
habit again of receiving tramp lodgers at the station-houses. 
A larger number were taken in each year, until in the winter 
of 1893-94 the police actually harbored a larger number of 
tramps than the Wayfarers’ Lodge. This ras felt to be a 
great mistake and a grievous hardship to the cOmmunity, 
besides greatly encouraging the tramp in his evil ways. 
Early in the winter conferences were had between the Board 
of Police and your Board, with the result that on December 
11, 1894, the police discontinued the lodging of tramps save 
in a few exceptional cases. On our part the. lodge was kept 
open until half-past two o’clock in the morning, instead of 
closing at 10 o’clock in the evening as heretofore. The re- 
sults have been remarkable. A large increase in the num- 
ber of tramps put up by the Wayfarers’ Lodge might well 
have been expected, inasmuch as the police aver aged a hun- 
dred or more lodgers in the station-houses every night dur- 
ing the previous winter, and had already begun to put up a 
large number nightly this winter. Nevertheless, the number 
of lodgers accommodated by us not only showed no increase 
immediately upon the adoption of the new rule, but has 
never shown any increase, and our reports prove that we are 
actually receiving a smaller number of men than a year ago. 

What has become of the large number of tramps who seem 
suddenly to have disappeared “from Boston? The answer is 
a simple one. Finding that if they came to Boston they 


6 City Document No. 24. 


must take a bath, and perform a certain amount of work in 
return for their night’s lodging and breakfast, they have pre- 
ferred to remain in the adjoining towns, where the’ police 
stations or town authorities will give them the essentials of 
existence without calling upon them for any equivalent. The 
records of neighboring towns show that a large increase in 
the number of tramps asking for lodging begun on the very 
day after the new regulations went into force in Boston. 

It is understood that the Legislature is considering the 
passage of an act for the compulsory establishment of insti- 
tutions, similar to the Wayfarers’ Lodge, in all the cities and 
large towns of the Commonwealth. We hope that such 
legislation will be had, and that the tramp, finding that to 
come to Massachusetts means to go to work, will avoid the 
State altogether, and thus we will be permanently rid of a 
useless and dangerous class of sojourners.

Crv1L SERVICE EXAMINATION. 


Last spring the Board voted to employ an additional 
visitor on full time, and a special examination of candidates 
for the position was held by the Civil Service Commission. 
The names of the two who passed were certified to the 
Board, and Mr. John F. Cleary, who stood first on the list, 
was unanimously elected to the position, and he went to 
work as a visitor on probation October 1, 1894. 


TEMPORARY HOME FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. 


The committee in charge of the Home have prepared the 


following report, dealing at length with matters of great 
importance in the management of this branch of our work: 


Statistics for Year ending January 31, 1895. 


1,320 women admitted 2,982 times, 
Of whom 624 were habitual inmates. 
‘e ‘¢ 696 eame for first time. 


583 children admitted 811 times, 4 
Of whom 362 came with mothers. 
as Be 89 were lost children. 
a ah 28 ‘* foundlings. 
ve pe 19 ‘* born in the Home. 
wy ‘¢ 85 came in various ways. 


Temporary cases : 
787 women admitted once only, or 787 times, 
Of whom 501 had never been admitted before. 
i ‘¢ 286 had been previously admitted. 


Permanent cases: 
533 women admitted 2,195 times, 
Of whom 123 were new ¢ases this year. 
‘s ‘¢ 410 were old cases. 


408 women out of the 1,320 known to have been in prison or almshouse 
or both. 
912 women not known to have been in prison or almshouse. 


* 


356 places secured at domestic service by Industrial Aid Society. 
100 places secured at domestic service by Temporary Home. 


6,327 meals given to 1,110 women and 70 children, in outside relief. 
476 of these women had been inmates. 
48 of these women had over 25 meals each. 


The Manual of the Overseers of the Poor for 1866 makes 
the following statement: “This house is not intended for 
the accommodation of any person who, from any cause, is 
entirely destitute or unable to earn a living, and must 
become a recipient of the charity of the public, but for 
granting such temporary shelter and food as may be needed 


8 Ciry DocuMENT No. 24. 


by persons who require such assistance while endeavoring to 
procure employment or find friends.” And again, in the 
Rules for the Government of the Home, approved by the 
City Council: “It is not to be understood that all persons 
applying will be lodged and fed. <A just discrimination will 
be exercised, and the general purpose is to provide tempo- 
rary relief only to deserving persons, after such inquiry and 
investigation as the circumstances of each case will admit.” 

It was evident to your committee, upon first entering on 
its work, that the Home, while affording a temporary asylum 
to some hundreds of women and children each year, had also 
become the resort of an increasing number of women of the 
pauper and criminal class, who felt that they possessed an 
inherent right to enter it at any time. 

This condition of things was the natural result of several 

_causes: First, that no sufficient system of codperation 
exists between this Home and other city institutions, 
whereby, through interchange of records, the women who 
pass out from them may be known when they enter here, — 
a thing absolutely necessary for the securing of satisfactory 
results. Second, that the work provided for the women has 
not been sufficient to serve as a real labor test. Third, that 
no satisfactory plan has been adopted, until recently, for 
securing places at domestic service, and receiving reports of 
the same. Last, the laudable desire on the part of faithful 
and kind-hearted matrons, to receive and strive to help all 
the women who come to their doors. 

As a first step toward intelligent discrimination, the report 
of 1893 called attention to the fact that the records were for 
the first time kept on cards, so that the history of each 
woman, with details of her comings and goings, and the 
situations she has found and lost, might appear in one place 
by itself, and be studied with a view “to classification. This 
year a further step has been taken, and by the work of our 
clerk, through the courtesy of the Commissioners of Public 
Institutions, and the matron of the House of Detention, 
much information has been obtained from their records and 
added to ours. We have also, through the constant and effi- 
cient help of the Industrial Aid Society, been enabled to 
obtain places for an unusual number of our women, and 
have received reports in each case. Some have been placed 
five and six times, and one woman twelve times. 

With these new sources of information, we are now able 
to understand about the women who pass through this house, 
as we have never done before. We find, as the figures at 
the beginning of this report show, that at least 408 inmates 
of this year have a pauper and criminal record, that many 


oe, 


OVERSEEING OF THE Poor DEPARTMENT. 


of them are of reckless and undisciplined character, and 
habitual drunkards, and that these are among our most per- 
manent inmates. 

The Home affords a post of observation, as it were, from 
which we see a constantly increasing number of women 
who go the rounds from almshouse to prison and back 
again, each time more hardened, more lazy and inefficient 
than before. These wanderers, who have no homes of their 
own, no background of good inheritance or public opinion 
to hold them to good standards of living, need every pos- 
sible moral and physical aid to give them strength and 
vigor. The chance for free lodgings, as often and for as lone 
as they desire, takes away the necessity of working for 
their living, which is of great value to most of us as an in- 
centive to effort. In fact, the lazy freedom of their lives 
makes the temptations most difficult for them to withstand | 
the very ones which are well-nigh irresistible. 

We feel it worth while, therefore, to take the following 
records from our cards as typical of the lives of many of 
these women. ‘They show how easy it is on coming up to 
the city from _the institutions on the islands to cet back 
to old companions, to drink, to fall into evil ways in cheap 
lodging-houses, and, when money is spent, to come to the 
Home for a time; to get places and lose them and return 
to the Home, to repeat the same thing again and again, 
and then drift back to the institutions after a few weeks of 
wretched experiences.

OVERSEEING OF THE PoOR DEPARTMENT. ll 


B. Fifty years old. Strong, hard drinker, immoral, three 
aliases. Admitted 44 times to Home, 1873- 94; sdriitted 
twice to Almshouse, 1889-94; admitted 48 hines to House 
of Industry before 1887; admitted 16 times to House of 
Industry since 1887; admitted once to House of Correction. 
Has a daughter of 20 years who has been at Marcella-street 
Home and in Almshouse and Home. 

C. Twenty-five years old. Mentally dull. Father, mother, 
and brothers have been in city institutions. In charge of 
city herself as a child. Single, with two children, both in 
Marcella-street Home. Admitted to Home 11 times, 1888— 
94; admitted to Almshouse 8 times, 1886-94; total of 935 
days. 

It seems quite clear that the greater number of such 
women, when not in search of work and beyond the possi- 
bility of temporary help, are a constant source of danger to 
those who are trying to do well. We are now empowered 
by a vote of the Board of Overseers, of December, 1894, 
“to refuse unworthy applicants,” and intend, therefore, to 
exclude them in the future, so far as practicable. 

To this end we have secured the coéperation of the Police 
Commissioners and of the woman probation officer at the 
House of Detention, who has lately found our records of 
great use 

It is greatly to be deplored that Boston provides no place 
for the younger women of this class, especially those with 
babies in their arms, where work and training and firm but 
kind teaching can hold them under restraint for indeter- 
minate periods, and let them out into the world again only 
when, if not actively helpful, they can at least cease to do 
injury to others and to add so heavy a load to the prospects 
of the next generation. 

We would call attention to the fact that we have no fitting 
arrangements for cases of serious iulness, though we have 
been ‘obliged to receive 19 confinement. cases during the 
year, some of them of a very serious character, and we trust 
that physicians and others will use their influence so far as 
possible to prevent the necessity for this use of the Home. 


THe Roxpury FIRe. 


On the afternoon of May 15, 1894, a fire swept over a 
large portion of that part of Roxbury near the Providence 
Railroad. <A large number of dwelling-houses and tenement 
buildings were destroyed, and many poor people were ren- 
dered homeless. The work of providing for the sufferers 
was at once undertaken by the Board, who felt it to be their 


‘by, CLFYX DOCUMENT NO. 2-4: 


duty to see that everything needful was done for their unfor- 
tunate fellow-citizens. 

A canvass of the district was made that night by the 
visitors, who were at work till a late hour in the neighbor- 
hood. A committee was appointed by the Board, to “whom 
was given entire charge of the fire relief, with full powers. 
A conference was had with the Mayor, and with his full 
sanction the Overseers’ committee undertook to supply the 
wants of all the families who were burned out. 

A force of regular visitors and temporary assistants were 
put to work. Tenements were procured, and a month’s rent 
guaranteed or paid in advance, a limit of $10 per month 
being made. Furniture and crockery were also provided, 
thus setting up the families in housekeeping again. The 
estimated expense of the rent and of setting up each family 
averaged a little more than $50. 

The list of articles furnished is as follows: One month’s 
rent, two bedsteads, two springs, two mattresses, one table, 
six chairs, one washtub, one washboard, one coal-hod, one 
shovel, one lamp, one oil-can, four pillows, two towels, one 
kitchen stove, set up with necessary pipe, wash-boiler, bread- 
pan, loaf-pan, meat-pan, tea-kettle, kettle and cover, iron 
pot and cover. Crockery ware, consisting of plates, cups 
and saucers, pitchers, etc., an average of twenty-one pieces 
to each family. 

The number of families supplied with furniture and rent 
by the Overseers was 259, and there were also thirty other 
families for whom rent only was provided, making a total of 
289 families assisted. The expense of $12,406.44 was met 
by contributions from private citizens in response to the 
Mayor’s appeal, by donations from the Massachusetts Chari- 
table Fire Society, the Committee on the Johnstown Relief 
Fund, and the Roxbury Charitable Society, and in part by 
funds from our own appropriation. 

One of the most gratifying features of this emergency 
relief work was the prompt and cordial coéperation between 
all the charitable agencies in that district. The whole mat- 
ter of relieving this large number of people whom the fire left 
destitute of everything except the clothes which they were 
wearing, was carried through without jar or discord, and in 
a very brief time. The Roxbury Charitable Society, the As- 
sociated Charities, the Ruggles-street Baptist Church, the 
St. Francis de Sales Chureh, and the Roxbury Citizens’ Re- 
lief Committee all worked side by side in perfect harmony, 
dividing the cases, and supplying the several needs without 
clash of any sort. 


OVERSEEING OF THE Poor DEPARTMENT. 13 


CHARITY BUILDING. 


The condition of this building demands attention. The 
roof is greatly in need of repairs, and the interior is also in 
bad condition. Application has been made to the City Coun- 
cil by the Superintendent of Public Buildings for several 
years past for an appropriation sufficient to thoroughly re- 
pair the property, but each year the money has been with- 
held. Something must be done soon, or irreparable damage 
will result from the delay. A wise economy dictates that so 
valuable and useful a building should be kept from decay 
and ruin, but the Board is powerless to do more than to ask 
that the necessary money be put into the hands of the Public 
Buildings Department. The head of that department be- 
lieves the repairs to be imperative, yet has no funds at his 
command which can be used for this purpose. 

A petition was presented to the Board in the early autumn 
by several of the charitable societies having offices in the 
building asking that it might be enlarged, in order to give 
increased room to these societies. A hearing was had upon 
the petition, and a good deal of time and thought was given 
to the question by members of the Board. Certain changes 
of offices and modifications of rooms were made, so that all 
the petitioning societies are now amply prov ided with room, 
and the need of immediate enlargement -of the building is 
removed. 


THe Trust Funps. 


The number of pensioners upon the various trust funds 
has considerably increased. The Board has felt it their duty 
to endeavor to carry out the wishes of the donors, and em- 
ploy the income in alleviating the wants of the class of poor 
people who are eligible, r: ther than to increase the funds by 
accumulating and investing the income. Great care is shown 
in investigating the claims of applicants, and the Board is, of 
necessity, strict in following out the provisions of the various 
wills by which the funds were left to us as trustees, Our 
income has been considerably reduced, owing to the maturity 
of a large number of city notes bearing six per cent. interest, 
and the reinvestment of their proceeds in new city notes 
bearing four per cent. interest. The policy of the Board has 
long been to keep the funds invested in city notes as the 
safest and best mode of disposing of the money. 

The total amount of the trust funds in our charge as a 
corporation is now $712,341.03, a decrease during the last 
year of $853.42. 

The number of pensioners now aided from the Pemberton, 


14 City Document No.: 24. 


the Boylston Relief, the David Sears Charity, and the Moses 
Hunt Funds is 293, — 42 more than on February 1, 1894. 
During the year 19 have died, 3 have gone to old ladies’ 
homes, 2 have been dropped from the rolls, and 4 have with- 
drawn. Seventy new names have been added to the list. 

We have paid, during the year, from the Boylston Educa- 
tion Fund $9,894.71 for the board of children, conformably 
to the terms of that trust. 

The details of the various trust funds held by us will be 
found at the end of this report, with a tabulated statement of 
receipts and disbursements since February 1, 1894; also 
extracts from the wills, showing the terms under which we 
hold the funds as trustees. 


FINANCIAL STATISTICS. 


The reports of thé Secretary and Treasurer are appended, 
showing all our receipts and expenditures during the last 
twelve months, arranged in detail so that the expenses of the 
several departments of our work can be readily ascertained. 
There is also appended a schedule of the personal property 
in our hands February 1, 1895. 


Respectfully submitted, 
In behalf of the Overseers of the Poor,

SEERS OF THE POOR. 


Pemberton Fund. — This fund comprises bequests and 
gifts made to the city of Boston from 1760 to the present 
time, from “A. B.,” Daniel Oliver, Margaret Blackader, 
Alice Quick, Anne Wheelright, Mary Ireland, Benjamin 
Pemberton, Martha Stevens, Mis H. Driscoll, William 
Breed, Samuel Eliot, John Coffin Jones, Mary Belknap, “A 
Citizen of Boston,” Anonymous, Miss Dr. Harriot K. Hunt, 
George Higginson, Walter E. Hawes, and Wm. B. Spooner. 
The most important, however, of the bequests was from 
Benjamin Pemberton, Esq., whose will was proved June 25, 
1782, and for that reason bis name has been given to the 
fund. The income of this fund is to be expended, at the 
discretion of the Overseers, in semi-annual payments to 
the poor of the city. 

Boylston Relief and Hducation Funds. — These funds 
were from a bequest by John Boylston, who died in London, 
England. His will was proved June 12, 1795. One por- 
tion of the bequest is ordered to he paid to “poor and de- 
cayed householders of the town of Boston not under fitty 
years of age; persons of good character, and reduced by 
the acts of Providence, not by indolence, extravagance, or. 
other vice.” The other portion to be applied to the “ nurture 
and instruction of poor orphans and deserted children of the 
town of Boston until fourteen years of age.” 

Mason Fund. — A bequest from Jonathan Mason, by will 
dated July 15, 1798, interest to be paid annually to the 
chaplain of the almshouse or workhouse; interest to be 
added until one is appointed. ‘The interest is now paid 
semi-annually towards the salary of the chaplain of the 
House of Industry. 

Dexter Fund, — A bequest from Samuel Dexter, by will 
dated May 7, 1811, for supplying firewood or coal to such 
objects of charity as are not supported in the almshouse, 
though sometimes relieved by the Overseers of the Poor. . 

Jeffries Fund.— A bequest by David Jeffries, former 
Town Treasurer. Will dated January, 1786. “Income to 
be applied to the purchase of tea, coffee, chocolate, and 
sugar, for the refreshment of those persons who, in the 


20 Ciry DocumEnT No. 24. 


providence of God, are or shall be obliged to seek refuge 
in the almshouse, after having lived reputably ; but always 
giving preference to the pious poor. 

Lucy Bullman Charity consists of an estate on Cambridge 
and Joy streets, in this city, which came into the possession 
of the city of Boston, in accordance with the will of Lucy 
Bullman, proved at Probate Court, Suffolk County, January 
9, 1832, in which it is provided that, upon the death of 
certain persons therein named, said estate is given to the 
city of Boston, upon the condition that the estate should 
never be sold, but the income used for the benefit of the 
poor. By a vote of the City Council, approved by the 
Mayor, January 4, 1873, this estate was placed in charge of 
the Overseers of the Poor. 

The David Sears Charity is a fund contributed by the 
late Hon. David Sears for the relief of the poor, the income 
only to be expended “in aid and for the support of citizens 
or families who may have seen better days, and for charity 
in all its forms, in such a manner as may best tend to alle- 
viate the sufferings of human life and render the condition 
of the poor more comfortable.” 

Pierce Fuel Fund.— The legacy of Caleb Pierce to the 
city of Charlestown, accepted by the City Council of that 
city May, 1861. “Income to be expended in the purchase 
of fuel, to be distributed to those indigent widows whose 
husbands, before their decease, had resided in Charlestown 
at least one year, and the said widows still continuing to 
reside in Charlestown at the time of receiving said bounty. 
Income payable annually to the Trustees of the Charlestown 
Poor Fund.” 

Flolton Protestant Poor Fund.— A bequest by James 
Holton to the inhabitants of the town of Brighton. “In- 
come to be annually expended forever in purchasing and 
distributing provisions among poor and indigent Protestant 
families in said town of Brighton, on Thanksgiving or other 
holidays, or just previous to such holidays, to the end that 
such poor Protestant families may have the means, in some 
degree, of enjoying such holidays in common with their fel- 
low-citizens ; and I specially direct, that in such periodical 
distributions unmarried Protestant females who are poor or 
needy shall receive a liberal share of provisions, and also 
other articles of comfort, such as such distributors shall deem 
to be the most conducive to the comfort and happiness of 
that lone class of citizens.” 

Flolton Protestant Pauper Fund.— A bequest by James 
Holton to the inhabitants of the town of Brighton. “Income 
to be annually expended, in whole or in part, as necessity

or circumstances may require, by the Selectmen of said 
town, in providing good and plentiful meals, on Thanks- 
giving Day, or other holidays, to the Protestant paupers of 
said Brighton.” Unexpended income to be added to the 
principal. 

Stoughton Poor Fund.— A bequest of Lieut.-Gov. Wil- 
ham Stoughton, who died July 7, 1701. By his will he 
gave £50 to the relief of the poor of Dorchester, to be 
improved by the care of the Selectmen, the income to be 
distributed to the most needy inhabitants. 

Goodnow Fund.— A bequest of Elisha Goodnow (to be 
paid over upon the decease of his wife) to the.city of Bos- 
ton and its assigns, “to be invested and the income applied 
forever to and for the relief, assistance, and support of the 
poor, sick, and infirm in said city, not supported by the said 
city in its almshouse, in such manner as the said city, or the 
government or officers thereof, may deem most judicious, 
but without reference to the religious faith or belief of those 
who may apply for or need the assistance from this fund.” 
$5,000, received April 29, 1885. 

fiachel T. Stevens Fund. — A bequest of Rachel T. 
Stevens, the net income to be paid (after the death of a 
person named in the will) “for the support and maintenance 
of poor, worthy Protestant single women of Boston, who 
have arrived at the age of fifty years (not including widows), 
paying to each of such women during her life the sum of 
one hundred dollars, in semi-annual payments. Upon the 
marriage of any beneficiary under this will no further pay- 
ment of money is to be made to her, nor is any further 
payment of income to be made to any beneficiary who 
becomes unworthy of help under this trust.” 

Moses Hunt Fund for the Destitute. —“'The income to be 
devoted to the relief and welfare of Protestant destitute 
residents of that part of said Boston which was Charles- 
town.” $10,000, received March 7, 1889, has been invested 
in a city of Boston note.

At a meeting of the Board of Overseers, held March 6, 1895, 
the committee appointed February 6 to draw up resolutions on the 
death of Miss ApEeLine E. Crockert, late matron of the City Tem- 
porary Home, presented the following : 


The Board of Overseers of the Poor desire to place upon record 
an expression of their sense of loss in the death of ADELINE E. 
Crockett. She has served the city since July 1, 1872, when she 
became assistant matron of the City Temporary Home, being pro- 
moted to the office of matron March 16, 1881, in which office she 
continued until her death, February 6, 1895. During the entire 
period she has shown unfailing faithfulness and devotion in dexl- 
ing with the women under her care. In her the city has lost a 
faithful servant and the inmates of the Home a devoted friend. 

To the family of Miss Crockett the Board of Overseers extend 
their sincere and heartfelt sympathy. 

Voted, That the resolutions be adopted and recorded, that a 
vopy be sent to the family, and that they be published in the 
Annual Report.

Park CONSTRUCTION. 


The following 1s a summary of the work done on the 
public parks during the year, a more detailed description of 
which will be found in the City Engineer’s report in the 
Appendix : . 


The Fens. 


Tremont entrance has been finished, and the stone-crusher 
and temporary buildings which were used during the prog- 
ress of the work have been removed. A short section of 
the shore path leading from this entrance to Fen bridge has 
also been completed, ‘and considerable work of a miscella- 
neous character has been done in connection with the finish- 
ing of the work referred to. 

"A foundation for the John Boyle O’Reilly statue was 
built on the site selected between Boylston road and the 
Fenway. ‘This location was chosen by the landscape archi- 
tects, and Daniel C. French and C. Howard Walker, the 
designers of the memorial. 

Lamp-posts for forty-five electric lights have been erected 
in the Fens, and incandescent lamps have been placed under 
the arches of Stony-brook bridge, the connecting wires being 

‘arried underground by cables drawn through wrought. 
iron pipes. The lighting of the Fens enabled the depart- 
ment to keep the drives, rides, and walks open at night, 
which had become necessary on account of the occupancy of 
several new houses on the Fenway, and the ee of 
the parkways beyond the Fens. 

Two additional houses were built fronting the Fens during 
the year, and arrangements for further building are in prog- 
ress. The extension of Boylston street from the Fens to 
Brookline avenue, and the filling of the adjoining marshes 
now in progress, should have a tendency to increase the de- 
mand for building-lots and the erection of dwellings on the 
desirable frontage of the Fens. 

The Board, recognizing that the rapid growth of the city 
westward would eventually demand street-railway commun- 
ication between the two sides of the Parkway at the Fens, 
and that it would be a very great danger to human life to 
permit electric cars to traverse Boylston road through the 
Fens in the immediate neighborhood of the steam railroad, 
negotiations were begun for securing a right of way from 


> 
Charlesgate west, through private lands adjoining the rail- 
road, to a street leading to Boylston street, to enable the 
electric cars to pass under the main entrance to the Fens, 


rather than across its surface. As a result of these negotia- 


'

Park DEPARTMENT. 33 


tions, the Board secured an easement in a part of the route 
and the fee of the remainder for street-railway purposes, 
which can be utilized whenever the railway company desires 
to avail itself of the opportunity to build this extension, it 
having been ascertained that the cost of constructing such 
a way would not be an unreasonable burden on the railway 
company. 
Riverway. 


The plantations have been finished, except those around 
the Administration building and the Bridle-path bridge. 
The latter has been completed, and the walks throughout 
the Riverway, excepting the boundary walk, have “heen 
graded and surfaced. | 

The filling of Audubon road and the building of the bridge 
over the railroad leading to Beacon street have been com- 
pleted, and all that remains to be done in this section of the 
parkway is the surfacing of Audubon road and the boun- 
dary walk, the building of a wall and steps at the Adminis- 
tration building, the planting of the adjoining grounds, and 
the erection of a tool-house on the river bank near Tremont 
street. 

A circular stone structure for shelter and tool-house pur- 
poses, from plans by Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge, has been 
built on the bank near the foot-bridges which carry the walk, 
leading from Berner street, over the ride and river to the 
Brookline side. It is expected that. this walk will be con- 
tinued by the town over the railroad by a bridge to Chapel 
street near the Longwood station. The water in the river 
was raised to its high level early in the summer, giving the 
Riverway an attractive appearance which will yearly improve 
with the growth of the young plantations along its banks. 

A new bridge to displace the unsightly wooden one at 
Longwood avenue is very much needed, and as Brookline 
will share the expense, arrangements should be made with the 
town authorities to join in the building of a permanent stone 
structure at an early day. A preliminary sketch fora bridge 
has been prepared by Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge, the esti- 
mated cost of which, in rock-faced ashlar with the soffits of 
the arches in brick, is $153,000. The proportion of cost to 
be borne by the city will not exceed $75,000. 


Leverett Park. 


The work on this park has progressed rapidly, with the aid 
of a considerable force from the Street Department. _The 
ledge on the eastern border was removed, and the stone was 
used on the driveways and walks, and for building walls and 


34 ‘ City Document No. 25. 


culverts. The drive was finished from Tremont street to 
Perkins street, and opened for travel in the fall. The ride 
and walks were also completed, and retaining-walls, steps, 
and culverts have been built where needed. 

Perkins and Chestnut streets, on the southerly border of 
the park, have been cut down to modify the steep grade 
which formerly existed near the junction of these streets. 
This change of grade and the widening of the roads involved 
the building of retaining-walls and the low ering of the 
water and gas pipes, which consumed a great deal of time, 
and required the closing of the streets for a considerable part 
of the summer. ‘The work, which included the building of 
stairways, is completed, with the exception of some coping 
and pointing of the retaining and parapet walls. 

A stone bridge over the entrance to a cove on the easterly 
side of Leverett pond was built under contract, and the 
adjoining grounds were graded and prepared for planting, 
which will be done in the spring. 

The only extensive works required to finish this park are 
the plantations and boundary walks. Several small struct- 
ures for shelter purposes, as provided in the plans, will also 
be needed. 

The practical completion of this park opens to use a most 
varied and attractive pleasure-resort, with the scenery of a 
sloping valley rising gradually from the lake at its lower 
end to a considerable eminence at its head, with numerous 
smaller ponds compassed with verdant banks and woodsides, 
among which wind the paths, ending in the sylvan seclusion 
of Ward’s pond, which nestles in a deep depression between 
the wooded knoll and the high ridge of Perkins street. 


Jamaica Park. 


The drive, ride, and walk from Perkins to Prince street — 
along the easterly boundary of the park were finished and 
opened to travel during the summer. Adjoining the 
pond the driveway follows the course of old Pond street, 
widened about twenty-five feet, while the ride and walk 
are carried nearer the pond by an esplanade along the 
shore, which is protected on the waterside by a stone wall 
laid on a slope. This wall will be surmounted by a railing 
upon which vines will be trained, which will also screen 
the wall. ‘The site of the ice-houses at the southerly end of 
the pond, near Eliot street, has been excavated to fill the 
Arborway and to extend the water surface, forming at high 
water two land-locked coves of shallow flowage, with steep 
sloping banks protected by low walls. The abandonment

of {the project for open-air bathing at these coves, as 
contemplated in the original plan, leaves the question 
of the use which will be made of them still in abey- 
ance. Action on a petition of Dr. H. P. Bowditch and 
others for a high-grade swimming-school at Jamaica pond 
has also been postponed until the plans for constructing the 
park are further developed. For the same reason no 
action has been taken on the plans for a boating and skating 
pavilion, at the approach to the pond from Pond street, pre- 
pared by the City Architect. A temporary landing will, 
however, be provided here for the boat service. The margin 
of the pond has been filled in for about twenty feet in width 
along the Pine Bank and Perkins-street shores to provide a 
promenade on the water side, the abrupt bank making it 
impracticable to secure a path of sufficient width between 
the bank and the original shore. ‘The filling of this narrow 
strip will not appreciably diminish the water area, or 
affect the sylvan aspect of the pond at the ng hew ates level 
which will be maintained in the future. There will, more- 
over, be a distinct gain in appearance over the customary 
low-water level which ae prevailed in summer since 
the pond has been used as a source of water supply. On the 
westerly side of the aie the present verdure-clad banks 
will remain untouched at the water’s edge, the contour of the 
eround permitting the paths to be sarried inside the shore 
line. 

By the terms of the settlement with the Jamaica Pond Ice 
Company the ice business terminated with the season of 
1894, and the buildings are in process of removal. The 
dwellings and stable on the Parkman estate have been 
removed, and a plan has been started for the erection of a 
memorial to Mr. Parkman on this site, a committee in chine 
of the matter having applied to the Board for a formal 
approval of the scheme. ‘The Board also received a commu- 
nication from the St. Botolph Club, stating that it was the 
unanimous wish of the members that some steps might be 
taken looking to the preservation of Mr. Parkman’s garden 
as the most fitting memorial of Mr. Parkman. The Board 
replied that it would deem it a very felicitous result if some 
memorial to Mr. Parkman, to be approved by the Board 
and the Art Commission, should be erected on the Park- 
man estate, the grounds of which would be so treated that 
the whole should form a memorial of him. 

The buildings at Pine Bank and on the Morse place have 
been retained for such uses for shelter and refreshment pur- 
poses as they can be made to serve. A bronze fountain, by 
Anne Whitney, has been donated to the city, to be placed 


36 Crry Documrnt No. 25. 


on the terrace at the Pine Bank House, the fountain having 
been approved for this site by the Art Commission. 


Arborway. 


The grading of the Arborway has been substantially fin- 
ished, excepting the section between South and Washington 
streets at the crossing of the Providence division of the 
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, where the 
railroad will be carried over the parkway and Morton street 
on five stone arches. The drive and ride, except for the 
above distance, have been surfaced and opened to travel, and 
some work has been done on the surfacing of the walks at 
the Centre-street entrance of the Arboretum. All the drains 
and catch-basins, except on the traffic road adjoining the 
Arboretum, have been built, and a culvert for the brook 
comimg from the Arboretum has been constructed across 
the Arborway. The surfacing of the traffic roads and the 
interior and boundary walks, together with the tree-planting, 
will complete the Arborway. 


Arnold Arboretum. 


The eastern border of the Arboretum has been graded as 
a necessary part of the work of grading the Arborway, and 
an arrangement was made with Harvard College for the 
orading of the easterly part of the Bussey Institution grounds 
and the construction of an entrance to said grounds, in con- 
sideration of the large amount of surplus material which 
would thus be obtained for use on the Arborway and in 
other places. 

The additional land acquired on Centre and Walter streets 
has been cleared up and graded, and a wallis being built on 
the street boundary. An arrangement will be made with 
Harvard College for the planting and care of this land, 
together with the lands near the Centre-street entrance and 
on Bussey hill that were reserved from the original lease, by 
including them in the lease which will be made in connec- 
tion with the proposed addition to the Arboretum of the 
Bussey land on Peters’ hill, belonging to the college. 

Topographical surveys and a plan of this land have been 
made. 


Hatension of the Arboretum. 


The Board received a proposition from the director of the 
Arnold Arboretum in behalf of Harvard College, for the 
addition to the Arboretum of a large area of the college 
land on Peters’ hill, as shown on the map accompanying this

report, and on similar terms to those under which the Arbo- 
retum was originally laid out, namely : that the city take the 
land and lease back to the college, for the purposes of the 
Arboretum, so much of it as is not required for use as drive- 
ways and walks, a quarry reservation, and a traffic road ; the 
college to establish and maintain the plantations of the Arbo- 
retum, including a collection of trees and shrubs, suitably 
classified and labelled, adapted to the advancement of the 
science of botany and arboriculture and the instruction of 
the public; the city to build the driveways shown on the 
plan within five years, and to finish within two years the 
driveway running through the valley from Walter street to 
South street, and to maintain them free of all charge and 
expense to the college; the city to provide and maintain a 
suitable police force for the preservation of order and good 
conduct, and the observation of the rules and regulations 
established for the use of the grounds by the public, and to 
maintain boundary fences where necessary ; the Arboretum 
to be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the 
public, with only such limitations, commonly adopted in well- 
kept public grounds, as may be found necessary to prevent 
injury to the trees and plants. 

The project receiving the approval of the Board, a bill 
was introduced, and is now pending in the Legislature, to 
enable the city and college to carry out the plan. No esti- 
mate has been made of the probable cost of building the 
driveways, but it is believed that a comparatively ‘small 
annual expenditure will enable the Board to complete the 
roads, fit for use, within the time named. The quarry 
reservation will be a valuable acquisition to the city, from 
the material which it will furnish for the repairing of the 
park driveways, the supply of stone being large and of the 
best quality. 


Franklin Park. 


The bridge to carry the Forest Hills entrance over the 
traffic road leading from Forest Hills street to the cemetery 
has been built, and the grading of the entrance and _ traffic 
road 1s now in progress. This work will be finished in the 
spring, thus making the connection of the Arborway with 
the drives of Franklin Park complete. 

Seaver street has been reconstructed along the north- 
easterly boundary of the park, making a broad road of easy 
grades into which Columbus avenue now enters at Walnut 
street. This improvement will add very much to the facility 
with which the park is approached from the city, thus ensur- 


ing a larger use of the park for pleasure and recreation, 


38 City Document No. 25. 


Ellicott House, at the entrance to the playgrounds of Elli- 
cottdale, has been completed, and will be opened to the public 
this season. Toilet, bath, dressing, and check rooms are 
provided for use in connection with the tennis courts to 
be laid out at Ellicottdale. It is expected that a branch 
of the electric railroad will be extended from Washing- 
ton street through Williams street to a point near E lli- 
cott House and thence through Forest Hills street and 
the new traffic road to Forest Hills cemetery, thence by way 
of Morton street to Washington street near the Forest Hills 
station. This loop will bring passengers to the gates of the 
park on its western border, where are situated its most 
picturesque picnic grounds and rambles, and the new play- 
ground, and will, when constructed, be a creat convenience 
to visitors. 

A refectory is being built on the hill near the junction of 
Blue ‘Hill avenue and Glen lane, where the old Gleason 
house formerly stood. The plans provide for a brick and’ 
terra-cotta structure, one hundred and twenty-one feet long 
by sixty-nine feet wide, containing on the ground level a 
large restaurant, private dining room, service rooms, toilet 
rooms, and Secs ses leading toa mace garden hich forms 
in effect a second story having pavilions twenty-one feet 
square upon each corner, containing stairs, serving and toilet 
rooms. These pavilions are connected by covered galleries 
on three sides, the remainder of the space being open to the 
sky. A basement story under the entire area contains the 
general kitchen, pastry kitchen, service room, ice room, cold 
room, cold pantry, refrigerator room, toilet rooms for 
employees, and storage room, access to which is had through 
a covered passage under the terrace which runs: along the front 
of the main building. In a sub-basement at the easterly 
end of the building are boiler rooms, coal rooms, and laundry, 
access to which is had through the story above and from a 
large sunken yard. Ona level with the main or restaurant 
floor is the pergola, which extends across the west end and 
along the southerly side, varying in width from twenty-eight 
to fifty feet. This is paved with brick and has a trellised 
roof supported by open groups of wooden columns. In the 
centre of each group provision is made for vines, which, tak- 
ing root in the soil below, will twine around the columns 
and spread themselves out over the latticed roof above. 
The pergola wall has been built by the department force up 
to the floor level, the parapet being included in the contract 
for the building. It is not expected that the refectory will 
be completed for use this season. 

The water-shed of Franklin Park being insufficient to keep

the ponds full during the dry season, some provision to sup- 
plement the natural water supply became necessary. It 
was thereupon determined to utilize the plant of the Jamaica 
Pond Aqueduct Corporation for this purpose, and to lay an 
eight-inch pipe from the pumping-station through Chestnut 
and Perkins streets and the Parkw: ay to a reservoir on Hag- 
borner hill in Franklin Park. This pipe has been laid for 
the greater part of the distance, with stand-pipes at con- 
venient intervals for road-sprinkling purposes, and the reser- 
voir is now being constructed. This will ensure an adequate 
water supply, and will enable the Board to complete the 
ponds, which will add very materially to the landscape of 
Franklin Park. 

A collection of fancy pigeons, including archangels, blond- 
inettes, English owls, fantails, tumblers, magpies, nuns, 
and turbits, from the estate of the late Edmund Quincy at 
Isle au Haute, was presented to the department by Dr. H. 
P. Quincy, and are domiciled at the pr opagating house in the 
Nursery at the southerly end of the park, in charge of W. E. 
Fischer. They now number two hundred and twenty-five, 
and are a source of much attraction to visitors. <A flock of 
about two hundred sheep also attract considerable notice and 
are a popular feature of the park, the herding of the sheep 
by the shepherd dogs being an interesting sight. 


The Main Park System. 


By the practical completion of the Parkway the depart- 
ment has now provided the public a continuous drive all the 
way on park land from the Common and Public Garden to 
Franklin Park, a distance of about seven miles, except in the 
short interval between South and Washington streets where 
the delay is due to the raising of the ‘ailroad tracks. When 
this small stretch is finished there will be no interruption in the 
entire length of parkway drives of eleven miles, which, 
added to the seven miles of drives in Franklin Park and the 
two miles in the Arboretum, make a total length of twenty 
miles of driveways completed and thrown open to the public. 

Arrangements were made with the Superintendent of Lamps 
under which this department supplied the lamp-posts and 
underground cable for 171 electric are lights on the Parkway 
extending from the Common to Franklin Park, and 35 
lights on Seaver street and around the Playstead. The 
lamps are maintained by the Lamp Department, and since 
they have been in operation the Parkway has become a 
pleasant drive at night. 


AQ) Crry Document No. 25. 


To ascertain the extent to which the park system was being 
used for driving, riding, and cycling, the first season it was 
opened, a count was made of each of the three classes of 
pleasure travel on the afternoon of October 28, between the 
hours of one and seven, with the following result :

The Board cannot but feel gratified at the extent to which 
the public is making use of the parks, and it ought not to be 
a difficult matter to secure the funds necessary to finish the 
remaining features of the system, now so nearly completed, 
which will add much to the pleasure-giving results already so 
apparent. 


Franklin Field. 


The meadow which had been underdrained and plowed 
was levelled off and cultivated during the summer, and sowed 
to grass in the fall. It was flooded at the beginning of 
winter, and has been much frequented for skating when the ice 
was in fair condition. The shallow water makes it an ideal 
place for this sport, and the Board regrets that its funds for 
maintenance do not admit of the clearing of snow from the 
ice, which would very much lengthen the period of usefulness 
for this purpose. No plans have been made for the further 
improvement of Franklin Field. 


Dorchester Park. 


A topographical map of this park has been made. Some 
readjustment of boundary between it and the Convalescents’ 
Home of the City Hospital and the addition of some land 
already belonging to the city would admit of a much better 
plan for laying out the grounds than its present boundaries 


FRANKLIN PARK-— PART OF ELLICOTTDALE. 


ParRK DEPARTMENT. 4] 


will allow. <A _ plan will soon be prepared showing the 
required changes. 


Dorchesterway and Strandway. 


The grading of Dorchesterway from Five Corners to 
Buttonwood street has been completed except the removal 
of the ledge near the latter street. Some of the surfacing 
has been done near Everett square to provide an outlet for 
Pond street, and at the intersection of the Parkway with 
Buttonwood street. The Board having obtained the consent 
of the Railroad Commissioners for an overhead bridge where 
the Parkway crosses the Old Colony division of the New 
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, the contractor for 
filling between Buttonwood street and the railroad has been 
allowed to c arry on the work to a grade suitable for the 
overhead crossing. The ae ‘of the bridge can be 
deferred until the Strandway is built, with which it will 
connect. 

Some temporary filling was done on the Strandway last 
winter, in connection with the owners of certain land on Fifth 
street which was encumbered with clay-banks, under which 
arrangement the Board paid thirty cents per cubic yard for 
the material delivered on the Strandway, thereby affording 
employment for men and teams at a time of general busi- 
ness depression. About sixty-seven thousand cubic yards of 
filling, cart measurement, were received by this arrange- 
ment. Since this work was closed, the Board has had 
several applications to continue it on the same terms, but as 
the filling of the Strandway by the dredging of the flats is a 
necessary part of its construction, it has been felt that the 
continuance of the work as proposed would not be econom- 
ical on the part of the city. . 

The Board hoped to be able to take up this year the work 
of filling that part of the Strandway extending easterly from 
H street to Marine Park, and had plans prepared by the City 
Engineer for doing the work by contract. Heavy damages 
in land takings have, however, so reduced the appropriations 
for land and construction that if sufficient funds are set aside 
for the settlement of the remaining land cases, the balance 
available for construction is insufficient to permit of the plans 
being carried out, and at the same time provide for the 
requirements of the day-labor service in the public parks. 
For this reason, unless a further appropriation is made by 
the City Council, the construction of the Strandway will 
have to be deferred for the present. The Board regrets the 
delay, particularly with regard to the section which imme- 


AQ Crry Document No. 25. 


diately adjoins the peninsula of South Boston, where real 
estate is awaiting this improvement for its development. 


Marine Park. 


The work of filling the south point from the shore to the 
iron pier was put under contract in July, and is still in 
progress. A head-house is also being built under contract 
at the shore end of the point. This building is flanked on 
two sides by raised platforms to serve as promenades which 
will extend to the iron pier, and below and_ between 
which five hundred bath houses will be located. The 
house will contain a general waiting room on the ground 
or terrazzo floor, with men’s and women’s. w: iting and 
dressing rooms and bath toilets, the spaces under the 
promenades being devoted to offices for the police, and a 
foreman’s and workmen’s room. On the second floor two 
large cafés,; connected by a corridor and service rooms, 
adjoin the promenades, the rest of this floor being occupied 
with the upper part of the general waiting room and the 
stairway to the restaurant, which is on the third floor 
above the waiting room. Over the cafés are the kitchen 
and store room, and the attic contains the laundry. It is 
expected that this house will be completed for use the pres- 
ent season, and with the bath houses and bathing beaches 
will add much to the attractiveness of this now popular 
resort. <A sketch of the building is published herewith. 

The shore drive and the walk from Sixth street to Broad- 
way, and the drive from the Broadway entrance to the tempo- 
rary bridge to Castle island, have been surfaced, and the 
drains, water pipes, and electric light cables have been laid. 
Four electric are lamps now light the grounds in addition to 
those on Q street and on the Castle island bridge. 

Fifteen electric are lamps were placed on Castle island, 
and temporary fences were erected along the sea-walls, in 
response to a very large petition from workingmen that the 
island be kept open evenings. <A plan for a shelter has 
been prepared by the City Architect, which is herewith sub-_ 
mitted. This building will be situated at the extreme 
southerly point of the island, where the hospital building 
now stands, which is to be removed by consent of the War 
Department. 


Wood JIsland Park. 


The grading of the upland to provide for the driveway 
from Neptune road to the Concourse on West Wood island, 
which was under contract last year, has been completed so 
far as the material on the ground would permit.

The Field House, intended for use in connection with the 
men’s gymnasium and boys’ playground, has been completed, 
and was opened to both sexes during the skating season, the 
playground being flooded for that purpose. Over 80,000 
people availed themselves of this privilege during the twenty- 
five days on which there was skating. An iron fence has 
been built around the gymnastic ground, and contracts have 
been made for the iron frames and gymnastic apparatus. 

A section of the women’s bath house has also been built to 
provide temporary shelter and toilet rooms for women. This 
building can be of little use until some grading is done to 
make it more accessible, and the completion of the bath 
houses and bathing beach would add very much to the use- 
fulness of this pleasure-ground without great expense. The 
work on the park is now so well advanced that its comple- 
tion ought not to be long delayed, especially as the recent 
erading leaves it in a rough, unfinished condition, much less 
attractive than for merly. 


Charlesbank. 


™The buildings at both the men’s and women’s gymnasium 
having been oute crown, as stated in the last Annual ‘Report of 
the Board, plans for a new building at the men’s gymnasium, 
which will provide proper bathing, dressing, and locker con- 
veniences. were prepared by the City Architect, and the 
building 1s now under construction. An addition to. the 
women’s lavatory building, to furnish the same facilities to 
the large number of women and girls who exercise daily in 
the gymnasium, is also being erected from plans by Walker 
& Kimball, architects. The completion of these buildings 
will add much to the health and pleasure of those who fre- 
quent the gymnasiums. ! 

For information as to the attendance at these grounds and 
other details, reference is made to the Annual Reports of the 
City Engineer and a committee of the Massachusetts Emer- 
gency and Hygiene Association, which will be found in the 
Appendix. 

Charlestown Heights. 


The shelter building, retaining walls, and steps have been 
completed, and the house is re ady for use the coming season. 
The upper story consists of a large open shelter, with a band- 
stand on the side next to the promenade, Below are the 
waiting and toilet rooms and quarters for the attendant, the 
police, and workmen. A paved court in front under the over- 
hanging shelter is provided with seats, and immediately 


outside are the sand-courts and children’s playground. The 


44 City Document No. 25. 


house will be heated in cool weather and lighted by electric 
lights, and with the pleasant hillside erounds should become 
a favorite resort for the people of Charlestown. 


Charlestown Playground. 


The work of filling the mill-pond is progressing steadily 
with good results, and without expense to the department 
except for the levelling. Plans for the building for admin- 
istration purposes, and to provide dressing rooms for the 
oymnasium to be established on this ground, have been pre- 

| 
pared by Sturgis & Cabot, architects, and are only await- 
ing the necessary appropriation for its erection. 


Public Park at the North End. 


The tract of land on the water front at the foot of Copps 
Hill, which was taken by the Board in 1893 for a North End 
park, has been cleared of the buildings and wooden wharves, 
and a plan for laying it out has been adopted. Application 
has been made to the Harbor and Land Commissioners, and 
the Secretary of War, for the authority to make excavations 
and fillings necessary to carry out the plan. When this is 
granted, work will at once be begun on the construction of 
the park. Reference is made to the subjoined report of the 
landscape architects for a description of the plan.

West Roxpury PARKWAY. 


In its last Annual Report the Board referred to the advan-- 
tages to be obtained by connecting the Boston park system 
with the Stony Brook Reservation, and eventually the Blue 
Mills, of the Metropolitan park system, and published a map 
showing alternative routes from the Arnold Arboretum and 
Franklin Park. The first or most westerly of the routes indi- 
cated on the plan was finally chosen, and the land taken in 
conjunction with the Metropolitan Park Commission, which 
took the southerly part, extending from Weld street to and 
including the top of Mt. Bellevue, this Board taking, in behalf 
of the city, the other portion, ‘extending from the Arnold 
Arboretum, through the valley of Bussey brook, to Weld street. 
Subsequently, as a part of the arrangement, the Metropolitan 
Park Commission transferred the control and custody of the 


Ab Crry Document No. 25. 


part taken by it to this Board by an indenture which was 
assented to by the City Council, and appears in full in the 
Appendix to this report. 

By this arrangement the land damages on the part taken by 
the Metr opolitan Park Commission will be settled by the Com- 
monwealth, the city by the acceptance of the gift will build 
the necessary roads and care for the property as a part of its 
park system. By the surrender of this land the boundary 
between the State reservation and the city parks is at Wash- 
ington street. 

A map is herewith published showing the parks and 
parkways from Boston Common to the Stony Brook Res- 
ervation. 


ProposED Srony Brook Parkway. , 

The selection and acquisition of the route from the Arnold 
Arboretum to the Stony Brook Reservation should not deter 
the city from eventually securing a connection between 
Franklin Park and this reservation along the line of Stony 
brook, provided the town of Hyde Park will join by laying 
out the part within its limits. 

This route will follow the course of Stony brook and an 
aftiuent coming from Franklin Park, thus providing in the 
cheapest and best way for the surface drainage of a consider- 
able territory, much of which is swampy or low, by pre- 
serving the natural water course as in the Muddy-river 
improvement. 

Its construction would render a large area of vacant lands 
more valuable for suburban residences, and greatly benefit 
the whole valley of Stony brook by preserving the purity ot 
the streams composing its head waters. 

A considerable part of the route within the city limits 
would pass through land already belonging to the city and 
partly occupied by buildings connected with its public insti- 
tutions, which, however, would not be closely approached by 
the proposed parkway. ‘This route has the advantage of 
continuing the ample pleasure-drives and bridle-paths of 
Franklin Park through what would be a pleasant meadow- 
like parkway, entering Hyde Park and passing through the 
picturesque high- rock region and through pleasant fields and 
wild woods in the southerly end of the Stony Brook Reser- 
vation, whence it would before long probably be extended to 
Mother brook, near Paul’s bridge, and through the charming 
valley of the Neponset river to the main entrance of the 
Blue Hill Reservation.

CHARLES RivER EMBANKMENT. 


In its last Annual Report the Board submitted a plan for 
an embankment on Charles river from the present Charles- 
bank to the Fens within the lines authorized by existing 
law. This plan provides for an embankment outside the 
present harbor lines one hundred and twenty feet wide from 
West Boston bridge to the angle near Beacon street, con- 
necting with Arlington street thro ugh the block of houses 
between Beaver and Oger streets, ‘and seventy feet wide 
from said angle to Charlesgate west. 

Subsequently the report of the Joint Board consisting of 
the Metropolitan Park Commissioners and the State Board 
of Health, to which the Legislature had referred the whole 
question of the improvement of Charles river, was sub- 
mitted to the Legislature, recommending the erection of a 
dam near Craigie’s bridge high enough to “keep even extreme 
tides out of the basin, and the maintenance of the water at a 
permanent level, also the acquisition of considerable bodies 
of land along the shores of the river between the Cottage 


Farm bridge and the Waltham line. 


With reference to the embankment in the rear of Beacon 
street the Commission says: 


By chapter 435 of the Acts of 1893 permission has already been given 
to the city of Boston to construct on her side of the Charles river, begin- 
ning at West Boston Bridge and ending at the Back Bay Fens, an 
embankment of a width not to exceed, in the rear of Beacon street, one 
hundred feet, but subject to the condition that the filling thus made shall 
not be used for building purposes, or for any other purpose than for 
ornamental grounds and a parkway. 

The description in this act of the line to be followed in making the 
filling of the first section of the proposed embankment, that from ‘West 
Boston bridge to the rear of Beacon street, provides a broader margin 
than seems to us necessary on this side of the basin. We propose that 
so much of the act as relates to the filling on the easterly side of the basin 
and in continuation of the Charlesbank be so amended that the filling 
authorized shall not exceed one hundred and fifty feet until the inter- 
section with a line perpendicular to the harbor line at the southerly line 
of Mt. Vernon street; thence continuing southerly and westerly on a 
curved line to the embankment in the rear of Beacon str eet; tor be 
hereafter described. 

It may fairly be inferred . . . that the owners of estates on the 
north side of Beacon street west of Otter street have no very great 
interest in the appearance of their houses and outbuildings as seen from 
the basin or the bridges crossing it. Whether this new basin will be 
attractive enough to ‘induce the owners of these properties to so far 
change the external appearances of their houses as to make them worthy 
adjunets to the superb location offered to them is a question which we 
find it difficult to answer. And yet upon the answer to this question 
really depends the solution of one of the most serious problems in con- 
nection with the improvement of the basin. We believe that this water 
park, if formed in accordance with the plans submitted, deserves sur- 
roundings of a character equally dignified and attractive with itself. 


AS Crry Document No.. 25. 


Two views of the problem present themselves to us: 

First. To advise the filling, to the north of the passageway in the 
rear of Beacon street, of a wider strip than that of one hundred feet now 
authorized by chapter 435 of the Acts of 1893, but not to exceed one 
hundred and fifty feet, in the expectation that gradually the hoped-for 
improvements in the abutting estates will be effected. 

Second. ‘To recommend the construction of a wider embankment than 
that provided for by existing legislation, in order that a portion of the 
land so filled may be prepared for building sites. 

After due deliberation we have concluded to present a plan for your 
consideration in accordance with the second view above stated. 

It does not seem probable to us that the houses now standing on 
Beacon street, below Otter street, are likely to be adapted to the sur- 
roundings of the new basin; the large sums of money already spent 
upon their Beacon-street fronts would seem to preclude the change ; 
moreover, these fronts to the south have always commanded higher 
prices than similar lots on the opposite side of the street, and the pref- 
erence will undoubtedly be maintained. But it does seem to us essen- 
tial that the houses situated on the borders of the basin should also front 
upon it, not only for the adornment of the basin, but also for the benefit 
that would accrue to it from the better policing and care which all pub- 
lic grounds receive when the neighboring householders walk through 
them habitually, or constantly have them under view. The back alley 
which now runs along the border of Charles river in the rear of Beacon 
street would undoubtedly be well kept and inviting where it is now 
neglected and repulsive, if the owners of the adjacent properties ever 
themselves made use of it. 

The sale of the land prepared for building sites, if carried on as suc- 
cessfully as such transactions have hitherto been by the Commonwealth, 
would yield a large sum of money to be devoted to the repayment of the 
expenses of improvements herein recommended. 

We, therefore, propose that, instead of a strip of ornamental ground 
in the rear of Beacon street of a width not to exceed one hundred feet, 
provision be made by which the Board of Harbor and Land Commis- 
Sioners may be authorized to cause to be filled a space to the north of 
the present wall in the rear of Beacon street not to exceed three hundred 
feet in distance therefrom and extending in a line parallel therewith to 
the westerly line of the Back Bay Fens. One hundred and twenty feet 
in width of this, immediately to the north of the existing alleyway, to be 
filled to a grade proper for house lots, so much thereof as may be 
needed for streets and public open spaces to be reserved and the 
remainder to be sold. The money received therefor to constitute a fund, 
from which shall be defrayed the cost of building the dam, making the 
necessary fillings, and of such other expenses as may result from carry- 
ing out the plan of improvements herewith submitted. ‘The remaining 
strip of one hundred and eighty feet in breadth to be prepared in accord- 
ance with designs to be furnished by the Board of Park Commissioners, 
and to be used only for parkways and ornamental grounds. 

It will be noticed that we recommend a somewhat wider strip in the 
rear of Beacon street between the building line and the water than is 
designated on the plan of the landscape architects. We do so for the 
purpose of having a wider belt of trees and shrubs than has been thought 
by them to be necessary. Though the rapidly approaching use of the 
opposite Cambridge shore for building purposes will have ‘a tendency to 
break the force of strong wind from the north-west, it is desirable to 
have a plantation, if only of shrubs and small trees, to still further 
diminish their force. The shore line of the basin above the Back Bay 
Fens and up to the Cottage Farm bridge on the Boston side of the river 
should also, in our opinion, be moved to the north. Whether the addi- 
tional territory so gained should be used partly for new building sites, or

for purely ornamental grounds, has been a subject for some difference 
of opinion between your commission and the landscape architects. The 
latter advise the creation of new building lots in addition to the orna- 
mental grounds. We think that it is not advisable to narrow the stream 
at this point further than may be necessary for procuring the orna- 
mental grounds alone. Our recommendation is that the harbor line be 
removed to the north a distance of one hundred and fifty feet from the 
Back Bay Fens to the new bridge drawn upon the plan, and above this 
bridge gradually narrowing till it reaches a width of fifty feet at the 
Cottage Farm bridge; that this new territory be connected with the 
filling in the rear of Beacon street by appropriate curves. and be pre- 
pared for park uses by the Land and Harbor Commissioners in accord- 
ance with plans prepared by the Park Commissioners. 


Subsequently a committee of the residents of the water 
side of Beacon street submitted plans to the Board for a 
treatment of the shore of the river from the Union Boat 
Club house to Harvard bridge by an esplanade to be built 
by the city with the codperation of the riparian owners, 
under section 2 of chapter 435 of the Acts of 1893. The 
plans provide a walk, with some provision whereby the 
alleyway may be hidden while retaining the river view. 
One plan by Little, Brown, & Moore secures this object by 
a brick and stone architectural wall eight feet high on the 
inner side of an embankment twenty-five feet wide, while 
the other plan by Longfellow, Alden, & Harlow proposes 
to hide the alleyway by trees and shrubbery planted on a 
sloping terrace supported by a wall on the inner side of 
an embankment fifty-five to seventy feet wide as may be 
desired. Both plans provide an esplanade with a balustrade 
or parapet wall on the river front and occasional landings at 
the water’s edge. 

In submitting the plans the committee stated that the 
abutters desired the basin beautified under the terms of the 
statute of 1893, without filling any more of the river than 
is necessary for ornamental purposes. They objected to a 
driveway as an unnecessary filling in of the river, and as 
not being readily accessible from the narrow streets leading 
out of Beacon street. They desired to keep the basin as 
broad as possible as a unique feature of the city. To secure 
the codperation of the abutters in the construction of the 
embankment they proposed that application be made to the 
Legislature for authority to assess fifty per cent. of the cost 
on the abutting estates, and submitted a bill to provide for 
the immediate construction of an embankment containing 
provisions for such an assessment. 

The Board submitted the question of the proposed 
improvement of the Charles-river basin to the landscape 
architects for their views as to the desirability of such action, 
and received the following reply : 


50 City Document No. 25. 


BROOKLINE, MAss., 28th January, 1895. 


The Hon. JOHN F. ANDREW, Chairman of the Boston Park Com- 
MISSION : 


Sir: We beg leave to respond as follows to your request for a 
fresh expression of our views with respect to the Boston shore of the 
Charles-river basin. 

At different times within the past twenty years various plans for 
adapting this important river bank to public uses have been proposed. 
The first Boston Park Commission (that of 1876), composed of Messrs. 
T. J. Coolidge, William Gray, Jr., and Charles H. Dalton, recom- 
mended the eventual construction in the rear of the Brimmer street and 
Beacon street houses of a riverside parkway, comprising planting 
strips, a driveway, a bridle-path, and a promenade, with a total breadth 
ot two hundred feet. 

In response to special requests we have ourselves proposed four 
solutions of the problem. ‘Three alternative plans, with a compre- 
hensive report, were laid by us before your Board in 1893, in response 
to the question: What ought to be done, assuming, in accordance 
with the existing law, that the necessary new filling shall not extend 
into the river more than one hundred feet from the present sea-wall ? 
Another, and naturally, a very different plan, was made and reported 
upon by us for the Joint Charles River Commission of 1894 in response 
to the question: What ought to be done, assuming that the limitations 
of the law can be removed ? 

The commission will, however, remember that Mr. F. L. Olmsted, 
Messrs. F. L. Olmsted & Co., and Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted, & Eliot, as 
Landscape Architects to your Board, have always taken the ground 
that the city of Boston would make a grave mistake if, while sufficient 
interior parks, parkways, and playgrounds were still lacking or incom- 
plete, any money at all should be devoted to the Charles-river basin. 
Such is still our opinion. The reasons thereof may be briefly recapitu- 
lated as follows: 

First. The present population of the Back Bay has no need of any 
additional recreation grounds. It already possesses the Public Garden, 
Commonwealth avenue, and the Fens. Moreover, the present resi- 
dents of the Back Bay are generally away from town during the only 
part of the. year when the adjacent shore of the basin might be a 
pleasant place of resort. 

Second. While convenient interior squares and playgrounds are not 
yet sufficiently numerous, the necessarily costly development of the 
shores of the basin may better be put off. The Fens, the Muddy-river 
valley, Jamaica Park, and Franklin Park were lately tracts which lay in 
imminent danger of being built upon in ways which would forever 
have precluded their conversion into parks. Much of the Charles 
river above Cottage Farm lies to-day in the same dangerous predica- 
ment; but not so the basin now in question. Here is an open space 
which can safely be held in reserve until other necessary spaces are 
acquired. The million or half million dollars which it is proposed 
should be invested in constructing what to-day is an unnecessary 
promenade on the borders of a great, natural, open space ought 
rather to be spent in acquiring open spaces in those parts of the town 
where they are, and will be, most needed. 

Similarly, it seems to us that the city, as a whole, would receive a 
greater benefit from the completion of the construction of the parks 
and parkways already acquired than would accrue from the construc- 
tion of ariver embankment. Also, that while money for the proper 
maintenance of the acquired parks is obtained with difficulty, the 
addition of a public promenade, which, like Commonwealth avenue. 
would cost much for maintenance, ought to be avoided, if possible.

For these reasons we question whether any mandatory legislation 
which would commit the city to the immediate expenditure of large 
sums for the construction and maintenance of any sort of a public 
promenade on the bank of the basin adjacent to Beacon street ought at 
this time to be favored by your Board. 


Respectfully, 


(Signed) OLMSTED, OLMSTED & ELIOT, 
Landscape Architects. 


Subsequently the Board notified the committee that the 
settled policy of the Board has been to consider the proper 
treatment of the Charles-river basin as a subject which should 
be taken up in the future rather than as a work of present 
necessity, and that in the general view of the Board it would 
be better to appropriate money at this time to complete the 
park system already laid out than to construct the proposed 
embankment. But if the Legislature should take a stronger 
view of the importance of an early settlement of the ques- 
tion of a proper treatment of the Charles-river basin, and 
that the immediate construction of the proposed embank- 
ment would be for the best interest of the city, the Board 
believes the plan would be feasible and would constitute an 
important addition to the system of open-air resorts now 
being established ; and while it would be glad to carry out 
any scheme for the improvement and adornment of the city 
which would be wise, it may be better, when the work is 
undertaken, to extend it over a greater length of the shore 
than the partial plan submitted by the committee. 


COMMONWEALTH AVENUE. 


On March 5, 1894, the Board received notice of the action 
of the Board of Aldermen consenting to the transfer of 
Commonwealth avenue to this department, as follows: 


Ordered, That the Board of Aldermen, with the approval of His 
Honor the Mayor, hereby consents to the selection and taking by the 
Board of Park Commissioners, under chapter 300 of the Acts of the 
year 1893, for the purposes of that Act, of that part of Commonwealth 
avenue lying between Arlington street and its intersection with 
Beacon street; the same being a public street leading to that part of 
the park system known as the Back Bay Fens, and the consent in 
writing of the owners of more than a majority of the frontage of the 
lots and lands abutting on that part of said avenue having been obtained 
therefor, as appears by their petitions for such taking 1 now before the 
Board. 


On March 12 the Board gave a hearing to the owners of 
estates on the avenue, at which a number of representative 
men appeared and favored the proposition that the Board 
assume the control of the avenue and reconstruct the road- 


‘ip Crry Document No. 25. 


ways in a substantial manner under the provisions of the Act 
authorizing the assessment of one-half the cost of improve- 
ment on the abutting estates. 

The reasons given among others were that it is the 
decorative avenue of the city, is restricted to residences 
only, is the chief approach to the park system, and the con-- 
necting link between the old and the new parks, and that 
through the regulation of trafic by excluding heavy teams the 
roadways could be kept in a condition similar to those in 
the parkways. 

In accordance with these recommendations the Board on 
June 29 passed a vote selecting and taking so much of the 
avenue as is referred to in the order of the Aldermen, and 
on July 9 voted to resurface the roadways with an asphalt 
pavement and make sundry other improvements under the 
direction of the Superintendent of Streets, at an estimated 
cost of one hundred and fifty-six thousand dollars. 

Subsequently on petitions from property owners remon- 
strating against the proposed asphalting of the avenue, the 
Board held two hearings at which it appeared that a majority 
of the residents strongly objected to the proposed asphalt 
pavement. A proposition that the residents raise a fund of 
$40,000 to be held by trustees, $5,000 to be paid to the city 
annually for eight years for repairs and maintenance on con- 
dition that the Board rescind its vote to asphalt the avenue 
and lay a Macadam or Telford pavement instead, was 
accepted by the Board. The work of macadamizing the 
avenue from Arlington street to Massachusetts avenue was 
immediately begun by the Street Department, and finished in 
November at a cost of Wied ers Es vat cd 

The Board then assumed control by policing the avenue 
and posting ordinances. AII vehicles for conveying mer- 
chandise except those engaged in supplying residences on 
the avenue have been excluded, with the result that the 

experiment thus far has been highly satisfactory, but sufficient 
time has not elapsed to demonstrate whether the roadways 
can be maintained in good condition with reasonable care. 


BRIGHTON PLAYGROUND. 


In accordance with an order of the City Council, approved 
_by the Mayor November 22, 18938, authorizing the Board to 
select and purchase a site for a playstead in N forth Brighton, 
under the special appropriation of $25,000 for that purpose, 
the Board invited tenders of land in the desired locality, 
and accepted offers for the sale of about fourteen acres of

land fronting on Western avenue near Barry’s Corner, the 
cost of land and surveys being $21,114.83. 

This location will adjoin the reservation which is to be laid 
out by the Metropolitan Park Commission on the borders of 
Charles river under chapter 509, Acts of 1894,’and can be 
readily converted into a playground in connection with the 
improvement of the Charles-river banks by said Commission.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS’ REPORT. 


The Hon. Joun F. ANDREW, Chairman of the Boston Park Com- 
mission, Boston, Mass. : 


Str: We respectfully submit the following notes of our 
doings in connection with the work of the Boston Park Commis- 
sion during the year 1894. 

Commonwealth avenue, between Arlington street and Beacon 
street, having come under the control of the commission, it be- 
came our duty to examine and report upon its design and condi- 
tion. After investigation we recommended the macadamizing of 
the two roadways, the resetting of the curbs, a uniform sidewalk 
pavement of brick, the regrading of those parts of the grass 
strips which are not flush with the curbs, the rectification of the 
lines of trees where they have become irregular, the addition in 
conformity to the original design of a new row of trees at the 
edge of each sidewalk, the addition of new architectural curbing 
and masts for lights or flags at the ends of the central grass plots, 
the ultimate removal from the central promenade of, the existing 
statues, and the placing thereof in symmetrical relations adjacent 
to the sidewalks at the ends of the grass plots, — the last two 
suggestions being directed to the ultimate development of an 
architectural or formal plaza at the crossing of each street. Com- 
monwealth avenue undoubtedly offers a rare opportunity for the 
making of a really fine formal promenade to be gradually adorned 
with architectural monuinents and sculpture. On the other hand 
the fitting maintenance of fine work of the formal type is very 
costly. It will be remembered that we advised the commission 
to be cautious about assuming charge of the avenue. 

The long and tedious work of constructing the boundary roads of 
The Fens having been completed, the only questions of design 
referred to us for report during the year were related to the 
plans for the Tremont and Westland entrances, and to the prob- 
lem of how best to carry the Boylston street electric railway across 
the parkway and the stream. With regard to the latter it was 
finally decided that the tracks of this line ought to pass over the 
water and under the parkway by a route lying immediately 
adjacent to the location of the Boston & Albany Railroad. 

Along the Riverway from Brookline avenue to Tremont street 
little but planting remains to be done, and questions of detail only 
have called for our attention. 


56 City Document No. 25. 


In Leverett Park between Tremont and Perkins streets the 
roadways have been made usable, but most of the ground is still 
in the rough. ‘This unfinished condition, together with the by-no- 
means self-explanatory arrangements of certain pools and paths 
designed especially for the use of the Natural History Society, 
has unavoidably induced some misapprehension of the general 
plan. 

In Jamaica Park the state of things is much the same. The 
hurried opening of the parkway has brought the public into these 
parks before the raw stage of preparation for the coming of the 
public has been passed. In order to permit people to follow 
the water’s edge (as people are always eager to do) and at the 
same time to avoid destructive path-making among the trees which 
adorn the banks and frame the pond, a beach which will serve as 
a path is in process of formation along much of the shore of 
Jamaica Pond. Near Pond street, where a beach was found imprac- 
ticable owing to the great depth of the water, a wall designed 
to rise only a foot anda half out of water and to be half concealed 
by shrubbery was substituted as an engineering necessity. Both 
wall and beach have been unduly conspicuous during most of the 
year, because of a necessary drawing off of the water down to a 
level some six or eight feet below the standard elevation. 

Revised plans for paths in the neighborhood of Pine Bank 
House have been prepared, and a simple method of adapting the 
house to public use has been studied. in conjunction with the City 
Architect. A suggestion from us that the bronze fountain 
designed by Miss Whitney and recently presented to the Park 
Department should find place upon the terrace of Pine Bank 
House met with the approval of the Art Commission. 

Several alternative plans for the distinctively pleasure drive 
proposed by the original plan for the west shore of the pond_have 
been prepared and laid before the commission. It is to be 
remembered that this proposed piece of road is but a link in a chain 
which was originally designed to begin at Tremont street on the 
boundary of Brookline and Boston and extend thence through 
Leverett and Jamaica Parks to the Arboretum and Franklin Park. 
From the Public Garden to Tremont street the commission controls 
a so-called parkway, upon which pleasure travel must necessarily 
mix with ordinary traffic, because the roads are only boundary 
roads and the adjacent private building lands must be sup- 
plied first with building materials and afterwards with coal, ice, 
and provisions. Not until Tremont street was reached was it 
possible to find room between the boundary roads for an interior, 


‘separate, or exclusively pleasure driveway. From Tremont street 


to Chestnut street, on the west or Brookline side of Leverett 
Park, the Brookline Park Commission has opened the first stretch 
of separate pleasure driveway, and already it is the pleasantest 
part of the parkway. It is regrettable that the Boston Park Com- 
mission of a few years ago decided not to continue this separate 
pleasure road along the north-west shore of Jamaica Pond beyond 
Chestnut street. On this side of the pond the boundary road, 
which will soon have houses beside it, will, by orders of the com-

mission, be the only road. The impression of remoteness and 
of semi-seclusion which is gained in Leverett Park will thus be 
shattered when what ought to be the freer and purer scenery of 
Jamaica Park is reached. 

With the exception of a few studies of details for entrances 
and foot-paths, the present Arboretum has called for no new 
designing. <A preliminary plan has, however, been prepared to 
show how Peter’s Hill might be advantageously annexed to the 
Arboretum by means of a circuit road which would pass over 
Bussey street by bridges, it being deemed advisable to preserve 
this street in a new location as a transverse road leading to the 
Bussey archway under the Dedham Branch railroad. 

The Metropolitan Park Commission having acquired a large 
reservation in West Roxbury and Hyde Park embracing Bellevue 
Hill, the highest land in Boston, plans have been studied and 
completed for connecting the Arboretum with this new public 
domain. The new parkway will follow and include the course of the 
Arboretum brook as far as the height of land at Weld street, 
where connection is made with lands acquired by the Metropolitan 
Commission. From motives of expediency, the northern boundary 
of the new parkway is an arbitrary line falling high up among 
the forest-clad rocks which form this side of the valley of the 
brook. The southern boundary follows a line upon which a boun- 
dary road can be laid, from which road a good view will be had 
of the course of the brook and the wooded bank beyond. 

For Franklin Park details too numerous to mention have been 
considered ; including plans for roads and grading in the neigh- 
borhood of the refectory and at Forest Hills entrance. The great 
cemetery which lies just beyond the park is the goal of many 
funerals which come out from Boston by way either of Washing- 
ton street or Forest Hills street. It is obviously important that 
processions of funeral carriages should not block or mingle with 
the stream of pleasure carriages which will pour in and. out of 
Franklin Park by the parkway. Accordingly a sunken roadway 
has been arranged by which vehicles of all kinds, including elec- 
tric cars, if need be, may pass under the parkway just outside the 
boundary of the park. The gates of the park, marking the ter- 
minus of the parkway, are architecturally connected with this 
bridge, which is now building from designs by Messrs. Shepley, 
Rutan, & Coolidge. 

The Strandway, Charlesbank, Wood Island, and Charlestown 
Heights have called for only a few modifications in the original 
plans. 

For the small tract recently acquired by the commission at the 
North End, a complete plan has been prepared which may be 
described as follows: 

The land to be deyOted to purposes of recreation lies between 
the ancient Copps Hill burying-ground and the sheet of water 
which-is the confluence -of the Charles and Mystic rivers. It is 


separated from the burying-ground by Charter street, and it is 


crossed by the busy waterside thoroughfare called Commercial 
street. Between the two streets the narrow public domain slopes 


58 | Crty Document No. 25. 


steeply down between two ranks of tenement-houses, thus open- 
ing a prospect from the already frequented Copps Hill. Between 
Commercial street and the water the original shore-line has disap- 
peared under a tangle of more or less ancient sea-walls, fillings, 
and pile structures. 

The plan is designed to make this confined space afford oppor- 
tunity for the greatest possible variety of modes of recreation. 
Thus a resting-place commanding a view of the water is provided 
upon a broad terrace on a level with the upper street; an ample 
promenade adjacent to the water is provided upon a _ pier, the 
upper deck of which will be reached from the terrace by a bridge, 
which will span Commercial street; a good place for children to 
play is provided on a beach which will form the shore of the 
small haven to be formed by the pier ; dressing-rooms will be pro- 
vided for the use. of bathers, floats and other conveniences for 
boatmen. The stone terrace and its accompanying flights of 
steps will be plainly but substantially constructed, while the steep 
earth slopes at the ends and below the high wall will be planted 
with low shrubbery. The foot-bridge spanning Commercial 
street will bea light steel truss. The new or restored beach will 
terminate against sea-walled piers of solid filling, from the end of 
one of which the long and substantial pleasure pier will run out 
to and along the Harbor Commissioners’ line. Between the beach 
and Commercial street there is room for a little greensward and 
a screening background of shrubbery. A drawing illustrating 
this compact design is submitted herewith.

CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT. 


Boston, January 31, 1895. 


Hon. Jonn F. Andrew, Chairman Board of Park Commis- 
sioners : 


Sir: I,herewith submit the following report of the work done 
and of matters of interest in connection with the work placed 
under my direction by your Board, the work being continued under 
the immediate charge of Assistant Engineer E. W. Howe. 


Tue Fens. 


Drives and Walks. —The drive on the easterly side of the 
Tremont entrance and the walk near the water between Tremont 
entrance and Fen bridge have been surfaced, and the stone- 
crushing plant, which for several years has been located at this 
entrance, was removed and the machinery sold early in the season ; 
also the several small buildings which were located here have been 
removed, and the grounds graded, loamed, and seeded to grass. 

Electric Lighting. — The work of laying underground wires and 
erecting lamps, begun in 1893, was finished and the Fens lighted 
for the first time on April 27. As this was the first instance in 
this city where underground wires were laid for street or park 
lighting, a brief description of the work may be of interest. 

Tar-coated wrought-iron pipes 14 inches in diameter were laid 18 
inches below the surface. At points where there were abrupt 
changes of direction, and at the foot of each lamp-post, cast-iron 
boxes were placed so that the cable can be removed and replaced 
or connections made without its being necessary to dig up the 
ground. Wherever there are loops in the line of the cable 2-inch 
pipes were laid in order that two cables could be drawn through 
them. When the pipes were laid, a small wire was drawn 
through them, to be used for drawing through the larger cable. 

The cable is 3 inch in diameter, and is composed of a No. 4 
B. & S. gauge copper wire first covered with rubber and then with 
lead. This was drawn through the pipes and lamp-posts to the 
top of the lamp. 

The lamp-posts are of the ordinary city pattern, and are set in 
Portland cement concrete. The supports for the hoods are of 
wrought-iron pipe branching from the cap of the posts in such a 
manner that the cable can be readily drawn up through them. The 
cable is not exposed at any point until the hanging board of the 
lamp is reached. 

The lamps are 2,000-candle power arc lamps. The number on 
the Fens is 45, and the length of cable 18,893 feet. In addition 
to the are lamps, 6 incandescent lamps of 32-candle power-have 
been placed under the Stony-brook bridge for lighting the walks. 


60 City Document No. 25. 


The grounds are well lighted, but probably some additional 
lights will be required when the trees are fully grown. 

John Boyle O’ Reilly Statue. — A foundation has been built 
for this statue on the triangle at the junction of Boylston road 
and the Fenway, and a curb set around the site. 


CovERED CHANNELS OF STONY BrRooK AND Muppy RIVER. 


These remain in the same condition they were a year ago. 
Some slight repairs have been made to the gates in the Muddy- 
river gate- -chamber. 

I.wish to again call attention to the necessity of rebuilding the 
damaged portion of the Muddy-river conduit. 


RIVERWAY. 


Grading. — Considerable grading has been done during the year, 
chiefly on the left bank of the stream between it and the railroad 
and Audubon road, also around the Bridle-path bridge. 

The work of filling Audubon road, under the contract with 
James Killian, dated December 5, 1893, has been finished, there 
having been deposited 36,844 cubic yards, at 49 cents per cubic 

ard. 

: Drives, Ride, and Walks. — The drive and ride were practically 
completed in 1893, with the exception of Audubon road, but 
owing to the lateness of the season some work remained to be 
done in the spring. Owing to the short time in which the filling 
was allowed to settle before the surfacing was done, the surface, 
in a few places, is now so much below grade that it will require 
reconstruction in the near future. The walks along the bank of 
the river have been surfaced. 

Plantations.— All of these, except those near the Administration 
building, have been loamed, manured, and planted. 

Bridges. — The sidewalk on Audubon bridge has been laid, the 
railing built, and the iron-work painted, thus completing this 
structure. 

The Bridle-path bridge, built under a contract with Johnson 
Brothers, dated October 23, 1893, was finished on August 138, at a 
cost of $32,300. The working plans for this bridge were made 
from designs furnished by Messrs. Olmsted, Olmsted, & Eliot 
and Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge. 

The bridge supports a bridle-path across the waterway and 
walks on either side of the latter. It is 28 feet wide to outside of 
parapets, with wing-walls at each corner flaring at angles of 66 
degrees. The piers rest on a platform constructed of spruce 
piles capped with 10-inch x 10-inch spruce caps crosswise of the 
channel and covered with 4-inch spruce plank. The ends of 
the platform are protected by 4-inch sheet piling. The piers are 
30 feet apart and extend along the channel sufficiently to support 
the banks and the walks; the total length of the piers with their 
wing-walls is 100 feet. The grade of the platform is 2.5 above 
city base, and the tops of the piers are at grade 15.5. The piers — 


Park DEPARTMENT. 61 


are of granite laid in courses with a cut granite coping on top 
from which the arches spring. 

The central arch is elliptical in form with a span of 30 feet and 
a rise of 9 feet 6 inches. ‘he side arches which span the walks 
are semi-circles 15 feet in diameter. The width of the piers at 
the springing line is 4 feet 8 inches; the spandrels between the 
arches are pierced by semi-circular openings of a diameter of 15 
feet and springing from the same grade as the other arches. ‘This 
longitudinal arch is also carried back 2 feet into each abutment to 
form recesses for seats. The openings through the spandrels are 
to afford passages to connect with the foot-bridge to be built 
across the channel, to connect the walks on either side. The 
abutments at the end of the bridge have concrete and pile foun- 
dations, the piles being cut off at grade 8 and having their tops 
imbedded in the concrete to a depth of one foot. 

The face-work of the bridge above grade 15.5 is of seam face 
granite, laid as three-headed work, with a belt course of red gran- 
ite 8 inches thick, 2 feet 8 inches below the top of the parapet, 
and with red granite coping. ‘The soffits of the arches, except the 
face voussoirs, are laid with 12-inch x 14-inch speckled brick. All 
of the groins are laid with the same brick cut and ground to 
shapes. The remainder of the arch-work is of common brick, the 
thickness of the central arch being 24 inches, and of the side 
arches 20 inches. The spandrels are filled solid with concrete, so 
that the top of the bridge is drained to the abutments. ‘The whole 
of the top of the bridge was covered with cement, then washed 
with cement-wash, and then covered with tarred roofing paper 
and tar. 

Buildings. — A tool-house and shelter has been erected near 
Bernier street, under the direction of the architects, Messrs. Shep- 
ley, Ratan, & Coolidge. It is a circular building 24 feet in diam- 
eter; the basement and the piers supporting the roof are of seam 
face granite. The basement is to be used as a tool-room, and 
contains bins for the storage of material for the repair of walks, 
ete. The building stands on sloping ground so that the floor 
above the basement is on a level with the walk; this floor, which 
is intended for a shelter for visitors, is of asphalt, and is covered 
by a roof supported on stone piers; the roof is covered with tiles, 
and seats are provided. 

Electric Lighting. — Under the contract with the Boston Elec- 
tric Light Company for lighting the Fens, such further extensions 
of the lighting along the Parkway as the commissioners should 
require were to be provided upon the same terms. 

On Riverway there have been 7,433 feet of cable laid and 19 
lamps erected; and in addition 1 incandescent lamp has-been 
placed under the Bridle-path bridge. These lamps were first 
lighted on June 16. 


LEVERET® PARK. 


Grading. — The work to be done under the contract with 
Moulton & O’Mahoney, dated November 28, 1891, was com- 
pleted early in the year, and on April 27, 1894, a new contract 


62 City Document No. 25. 


was made with the same firm for doing such additional grading as 
was required, and for building walls on Perkins and Chestnut 
streets. The grading has been completed. 

The ledge on the line of the drive has been excavated and the 
stone from it used in surfacing roads and walks, and_ building 
walls and culverts. The stone-crusher which was set up for 
crushing stone from this ledge has been removed. 

The slope above the wall on the line of the Nickerson estate 
has been graded and loamed, and a fence erected on the top of 
the bank. 

Practically all of the grading on this park is completed. 

Bridges and Culverts. — A bridge has been built on the line of a 
foot-path across the outlet of the cove on the easterly side of Lev- 
erett pond. ‘The bridge is a segmental arch of 24 feet span and 
5 feet 5 inches rise; the width to outside of parapets is 18 feet 
4 inches. The abutments are of concrete, faced with granite; 
the exposed face work is of seam face granite; the arch is of 
brick and the coping of red. granite; the arch is 2 feet thick, 
covered with cement and a waterproof covering of tar and paper. 
The bridge was built by J. D. Fallon & Company, at a cost of 
$9,313.60. 

The working plans were made from designs of the landscape 
architects, and Messrs. Shepley, Rutan, & Coolidge, architects. 

Seven small culverts were built on the streams connecting the 
various ponds. 

Retaining-walls and Steps. —'Two walls of rustic masonry were 
built by the department force on the slope above the cove on the 
easterly side of Leverett pond. The upper wall supports the bridle- 
path, while the lower wall supports a walk along the base of the 
upper wall. ; 

The walls built under the contract with Moulton & O’Mahoney 
have been finished, with the exception of the cement top and the 
pointing. These walls are of Roxbury stone, and vary in height 
from 4 feet to 14 feet, the total length of the several sections 
being 1,368 feet; they serve to support Perkins street on its 
lower side and the banks on the upper sides of Perkins and Chest- 
nut streets. 

On April 20, 1894, a contract was made with James Killian for 
the construction of a wall on the easterly line of Chestnut street 
351 feet in length, and also for a wall on the line of the Parkway 
adjoining the Nickerson estate 523 feet in Jength. This work has 
been completed at a cost of $9,327.06. 

Mr. Killian has also built parapet walls and furnished and set 
coping on the walls built’on the northerly side of Perkins street. 
This work is nearly finished. 

Steps to the number of 300 were furnished by the Cape Ann - 
Granite Company at a cost of $3,576. These have been set 
by the department force in places on the walks where they were 
needed. 

Drainage and Water-pipes.— All of the drains and catch- 
basins required for this park have been built. 

The lowering of the grade of Perkins street necessitated the 


Park DEPARTMENT. 63 


lowering of the water mains in that street. This work was done 
by the Water Department at the expense of the Park Department. 
An 8-inch pipe was also laid from the pumping-station through 
Chestnut and Perkins streets to Jamaicaway, it being a portion 
of the main for supplying water for the ponds in Franklin Park. 
Drives, Ride, and Walks. — The drive from Pond avenue, near 
Willow pond, to Perkins street was surfaced early in the season, 
and opened to travel on June 1. On the same day Perkins street 
was closed for the purpose of lowering the grade of this street 
and also of Chestnut street. The change of grade of Perkins 


street involved cutting down the street at one point 13 feet. Both 


streets were widened at the same time to a minimum width of 
45 feet. Chestnut street was closed on July 2, and was reopened 
on October 15. Perkins street was so far finished as to be opened 
to travel on December 20. 

The drive from Tremont street to the entrance near Willow 
pond was not opened until November 18 on account of the delay 
caused by cutting through the ledge, which required the removal 
of 7,696 cubic yards of rock. 

The Bridle-path and a large part of the walks have been 
finished. 

An Aveling & Porter compound steam road roller was purchased 
in the spring for use on this park. 

Plantations. — About 12 acres have been prepared for planting, 
of which about 3 acres have been planted. 

Electric Lighting. —'The electric lights were turned on for the 
first time June 29. ‘There are 34 lamps and 14,500 feet of cable. 


JAMAICA PARK. 


Grading and Walls. —The work done by Saucier Bros., 
under their contract dated January 16, 1893, was completed on 
May 19, 1894, and there was paid them $32,504.36. The work 
done under this contract was the grading of all that portion of the 
park on the easterly side of the pond, excepting Pine Bank, from 
Perkins street to Prince street, including the widening of Pond 
street and the excavation of a cove on the shore of the pond nearly 
opposite Eliot street; it also included the grading of the part of 
Arborway between Prince and Centre streets, so far as the exca- 
vated material on the work would allow, and the building of a 
slope wall 920 feet in length along the Pond-street shore. 

The north-westerly shore of the pond has been graded, from a 
point opposite Chestnut street nearly to Prince street, with gravel 
excavated from Perkius street. 

Retaining- walls of a total length of 960 feet have been built 
around the cove before mentioned. 

A flight -of steps has been built leading from Perkins street 
opposite Chestnut street to Pine Bank. 

Drainage and Water-pipe. —The necessary catch-basins and 
drains for the easterly side of the park have been built. 

The water-pipe leading to Franklin Park has been laid through 
the whole length of the parkway from Perkins street to Prince 
street. . 


64 City Document No. 25. 


Drives, Ride, and Walks. — The drive from Perkins street to 
Pond street was finished and opened to travel on June 1, and that 
along Pond street to Prince street was opened on June at The 
ride and the walks in this section of the park have all been 
surfaced, with the exception of the border walk between Perkins 
and Pond streets. 

Piantations. — All of the areas to be planted have been graded 
and loamed in readiness for planting in the spring. 

Electric Lighting. —'Twelve lamps have been erected and 4,880 
feet of cable laid. The lights were turned on on August 17. 

Miscellineous. — Work has been begun on the alteration of the 
dwelling-house at Pine Bank, under the direction of the City 
Architect, to adapt it for use as a refectory. 

A new boat has been purchased for the use of the police. 

The buildings on the Parkman estate have been removed, and 
the Ice Company buildings on Prince street are now being 
removed. 

About 100 linear feet of seats for the use of skaters have been 
-made. ‘There has been skating on the pond 19 days during the 
year, and skating could have been enjoyed on many other days if 
funds had been available for caring for the ice. ‘The police esti- 
mated the total attendance at 109,000. 


ARBORWAY. 


Grading. —'The section between Prince and Centre streets was 
graded under the contract with Saucier Bros., already referred to. 
The section between Centre and South streets was partially graded 
under a contract with Andrew Carberry, dated November 1, 18938, 
at a cost of $8,400.28. The balance of the grading was done by 
the department force, and by contractors for furnishing labor by 
the day. 

Drainage and Water-pipes. — A culvert 6 feet xX 6 feet in 
section and 163 feet in length was built across the Parkway on the 
line of the brook which drains the Arboretum meadow. 

All of the catch-basins and drains required on the whole length 
of Arborway have been built, except those on the traflic road 
between Centre and South streets, and on the section between 
South and Washington streets. 

The water-pipe for Franklin Park has been laid between Prince 
and Centre streets and between Washington and Forest Hills 
streets. 

Drives, Ride, and Walks. —The main drive and the ride have 
been surfaced for the whole length, except between South and 
Washington streets, it being impracticable to do any work on this 
section until the work of raising the grade of the railroad has 
been completed. 

The drive was opened to travel on October 7: But little work 
has been done on the surfacing of the walks. No surfacing has 
been done on the traffic roads. 

Electric Lighting. — ‘Twenty-two arc lamps have been placed on 
Arborway, and 8,152 feet of cable laid.. These lamps were first 
lighted on August 17. 


Park DEPARTMENT. 65 


ARBORETUM. 


The land near the junction of Centre and Walter streets has 
been cleared and graded, and the boundary wall is now being 
extended around it. 

Surveys have been made of the land belonging to Harvard 
College lying south of Bussey street, with reference to the contem- 
plated addition of it to the Arboretum. 


West Roxspury Parkway. 


Preliminary surveys were made for three different lines of Park- 
way between the Main Park System and the Stony Brook Reserva- 
tion. Accurate surveys for the laying out of the section from the 
Arboretum to Weld street were made, and also of that portion of 
the Parkway laid out by the Metropolitan Park Commission 
between Weld street and Anawan avenue. Topographical sur- 
veys are now being made of the whole length of this Parkway. 


FRANKLIN PARK. 


Forest Hills Entrance. —On April 23 a contract was made with 
Charles H. Dodge for building the bridge which is to carry the 
Parkway over the traffic road leading from Forest Hills street to 
the Morton-street entrance to Forest Hills cemetery. This bridge 
has been completed with the exception of the cleaning and pointing 
of the masonry. The bridge is 126 feet in length, at a right angle 
with the Parkway, and is a segmental arch of 45 feet span and 6 
feet rise, the springing line being 12 feet above the grade of the 
road beneath. All face work is of seam face granite, except the 
coping and cap-stones, which are of red granite, and the interior 
of the arch. The ashlar is laid as three-headed work. The foun- 
dation and backing are of cement concrete. The soflit of the 
interior of the arch is of light-colored brick, while the remainder of 
the arch is of common brick, the arch being 2 feet 8 inches thick. 
A staircase connects the walk over the bridge with the walk along 
the traflic road beneath. The slopes of the banks are supported 
by retaining walls on the lines of the traffic road. Across the 
Parkway over the bridge the masonry piers for a gateway have 
been built. This gateway is to have three openings —one each 
for the drive, the ride, and the walk. The piers at the sides of the 
gateway are connected with the parapets of the bridge, so that 
the whole forms one structure. At one side of the gateway there 
is a recess with a drinking-fountain and seats. The contract price 
for the bridge is $50,920. 

The traffic road and the Parkway over the bridge are now being 
graded. ‘The ledge at the junction of the Parkway with the Cir- 
cuit drive is being removed, and the stone will be used for sur- 
facing the Parkway. ‘The drains and catch-basins are also being 
built. 

Seaver Street. —'The work of grading under the contract with 
H. P. Nawn, dated September 1, 1893, was completed on January 
22, at a cost of $384,023.58. Another contract was made with 


66 City Document No. 25. 


Mr. Nawn for the removal of a portion of the ledge near Blue 
Hill avenue, the stone to be carted to the stone-crusher on the 
park, and when crushed to be carted back to Seaver street. Under 
this contract there were removed 3,221 cubic yards of rock, ata 
cost of $6,345.37. 

The drive and walk within the lines of Seaver street, as laid 
out by the Street Commissioners, have all been surfaced, the sur- 
face drains and catch-basins built, and the water-pipe relaid. ‘The 
street was opened to travel throughout its whole length on Decem- 
ber 24. 

The street has a width of 60 feet, divided into a driveway 40 
feet wide, a tree space 10 feet wide, and a sidewalk 10 feet wide. 

A portion of the walk on the park, parallel with Seaver street, 
remains to be surfaced; also the entrance road opposite Elm Hill 
avenue. 

Ellicott House. — For the drainnge of this building, it was 
necessary to build a sewer 2,260 feet in length, of. 6-inch Akron 
pipe, through the park and Keyes street to Washington street. ‘The 
grade being slight, a flush tank was built just outside the building, 
for flushing the sewer. ‘The building is, as yet, provided with no 
method of lighting at night, and as no gas mains are near it will 
probably be necessary to use electricity. 

Refectory. — This building is in process of erection under the 
direction of, and in accordance with, plans made by Messrs. 
Hartwell & Richardson, architects. ‘The foundations are com- 
pleted, and work is begun on the superstructure. The wall sup- 
porting the terrace in front of the building is being built of rustic 
masonry by the department force, and is nearly finished to the 
grade of the walk. 

Water-supply. — It having been determined to obtain from 
Jamaica pond a supply of water for the ponds on Franklin Park, 
and for sprinkling the drives on the Parkway, pipes have been 
Jaid on a portion of the Parkway, as before described. Recently 
work has been begun on the construction of a reservoir on Hag- 
borne hill, which will have a capacity of 883,000 gallons, with the 
surface of the water at grade 168 feet above city base. It is 
expected that this will furnish a week’s supply in the driest 
weather. It is not intended to use the water for drinking. 

Pigeons. — On April 21 a donation of 128 pigeons, including a 
great variety of the most popular kinds, was received from the 
estate of the late Edmund Quincy, through Dr. H. P. Quincy. 
They have been placed in a loft prepared for them in the upper 
part of the propagating house at the Nursery, where they have 
attracted a great deal of attention. 

Electric Lighting. — Nineteen are lamps have been placed in 
the Playstead district and 16 on Seaver street. The lights were 
first used on September 22. 

Miscellaneous. — The sheep now number 188, 73 having been 
sold in the fall. 

Two buildings containing water-closets have been erected near 
the Columbia-street entrance to the park. 

Scarboro’ pond has been drawn down to its winter level, and 


Park DEPARTMENT. 64 


the pond near Abbotswood has been filled, .as heretofore, for 
skating ; but owing to the proximity of the much larger and better 
place for skating at Franklin Field, these smaller areas have been 
but little resorted to this winter. 


FRANKLIN FIELD. 


The work of grading and seeding the meadow was finished in 
September. On November 26 the water from the brooks was 
turned on to the field, flooding it to a depth of about 18 inches in 
the lowest part. ‘The first skating was on December 24, and since 
that date the field has been resorted to by great numbers of people 
whenever the ice was in good condition. There has been skating 
on 20 days, and the total number of visitors on those days, as 
estimated by the police, has been about 66,000. 


DORCHESTER PARK. 


A topographical survey of this park has been made. Two small 
buildings containing water-closets have been built. 


DORCHESTERWAY. 


The filling between Buttonwood street and the railroad being 
done under the contract with Collins & Ham, dated February 20, 
1893, is still in progress. : 

The drive and walks south of the northerly line of Pond street, 
and those at the junction of the Parkway and Buttonwood street, 
have been finished. 


STRANDWAY. 


Filling. — A dump was opened in February for receiving mate- 
rial excavated from the land near the Institution for the Blind. 
During the year there have been delivered between Iand N streets 
67,118 cubic yards of filling, cart measurement, at 30 cents per 
cubic yard. 

As the amount of dredging which should be done on the flats 
in front of the Strandway, between H and Q streets, is mueh 
larger than the space to be filled, it will not be economy to pur- 
chase filling, except such as can be used for forming the beach, or 
as a top-covering for mud filling after the latter is in place. 

Plans are nearly completed for grading the section of the 
Strandway east of H street. 


MariInE PARK. 


Pier. — That portion of the wooden pier between the refectory 
and the site of the new head-house has been removed, and a 
plank walk laid in its place. 

Filling. —On July 27 a contract was made with William L. 
Miller for filling that portion of the park between the shore and 
the iron pier. This work is now in progress. 

Drive and Walks. — The drive along the shore from the foot 
of Sixth street to the Castle-island bridge, and the entrance from 


68 City Document No. 25. 


() street opposite Broadway, have been surfaced. The walk along 
the drive from Broadway to Sixth street has also been surfaced. 

Drainage and Water-pipe. — Catch-basins and drains for drain- 
ing the drive have been built. A water-pipe has been laid from 
Sixth street to the entrance to the pier and 2 hydrants set. 

Electric Lighting. —'Two thousand six hundred and eighty- 
three feet of underground cable have been Jaid, and 4 are 
lamps erected on the portion of the park south of Broadway. 
The lamps were first lighted on September 5. 

Building. — A building is being erected at the approach to the 
pier, under the direction of the City Architect. It is to contain 
a waiting room for the public, toilet rooms, a restaurant, and 
rooms for the police and workmen. In the rear of it there 
are to be 508 dressing rooms for bathers. It is expected that 
this building will be completed ready for use during the coming 
season. 

Miscellaneous. — The old wharf, left by a former contractor, 
was repaired, and a shelter built on the outer end of it; this was 
intended for use in connection with the boating service. 

A flagstaff was erected near the Farragut statue, and the flag 
was raised for the first time on Memorial day, with appropriate 
ceremonies by the Farragut Naval Veterans Association. 


Caste IsLanp. 


The only work done here during the year, beyond the care of 
the grounds and buildings, has been the placing of 15 electric are 
lamps. 

As the location of these could be but temporary, overhead 
wires were run to them. They were first lighted on July 3. 


Woop IsLtanp PARK. 


Grading. — The work under the contract with O’Connor & 
White, dated October 2, 1893, was completed on December 8, at a 
cost of $33,706.84. This work included all of the loam stripping 
and excavation required; the material excavated, however, was 
not sufficient to do all the filling needed; therefore, before the 
drives and a portion of the walks can be surfaced and the grounds 
fully made use of, additional filling will have to be obtained; this 
can be advantageously done by dredging from the flats within the 
park property. 

Drainage and Water-pipes. — The sewers for draining the two 
buildings were completed on March 26, at a cost of $1,921.30. 

A water-pipe has been laid from Neptune road to supply the 
Field House and men’s gymnastic ground, and 6 hydrants have 
been set, 4 of them being within the gymnastic ground. 

Buildings. — The section of the bath house which was being 
built a year ago has been completed. This building, so far as 
built, contains a waiting room, a locker room, and a toilet room. 
It has been connected with the sewer, but has not as yet been 
supplied with water, as the grounds near it have not been graded. 


Park DEPARTMENT. 69 


The Field House has been finished. This building is for the use 
of men and boys only, although during the present skating season 
women and girls have been allowed to use a portion of it; this 
can be readily done in winter, us the locker room and small toilet 
room adjoining it are not otherwise in use when the gymnasium is 
not in operation. 

The building is of one story, 130 feet long by 26 feet wide; 
there is a waiting room and toilet room for men and boys, a room 
for the superintendent of the gymnasium, a large dressing room 
provided with 170 lockers for the convenience of those using the 
gymnasium, and a bath room, with shower and needle baths ; there 
is also a boiler room, the building being warmed throughout by 
hot water. 

The building is lighted by incandescent electric lights. 

Both of these buildings were built under the direction of Messrs. 
Sturgis & Cabot, architects. 

Gymnastic Ground. — On October 10 a contract was made with 
the Van Dorn Iron Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, for the erection 
of an iron fence around this ground, and for the frames for the 
oymnastic apparatus. The fence has been erected, and the frames 
are on the ground ready for erection as soon as the frost leaves 
the ground. 

Skating. — The gymnasium and playgrounds have been flooded 
during the present winter and there has been skating on 25 days, 
the attendance, as estimated by the police, being about 88,000. 
The Field House has been opened on days when there was skating. 

w 


CHARLESTOWN HEIGHTS. 


The building for the accommodation of the public has been 
finished and only needs lighting to be ready for use. This build- 
ing is of two stories, with a cellar under a portion of it, which 
contains the heating apparatus. The first story contains toilet 
rooms for both sexes, a room for the person in charge, and rooms 
for the police and workmen. ‘There is a tool-house adjoining the 
main building. The second story is an open shelter, a band 
stand being located on that portion towards Bunker Hill street. 

The building was built under the direction of Messrs. Walker 
& Kimball, architects. 

Four electric are lights have been placed upon the grounds and 
90 settees purchased. 


CHARLESTOWN PLAYGROUND. 


Nothing has been done at this ground during the year, except 
to supervise the dumping of ashes and earth. 
A considerable area of the ground is now filled. 


CHARLESBANK. 


Men's Gymnasium. — During the winter months the grounds 
have been used for skating when the weather was favorable. ‘The 


70 City Document No. 25. 


number of days on which there was skating was 22, and the aver- 
age attendance on those days was 2,911. 

The gymnasium was closed on March 1, and the apparatus and 
grounds put in thorough repair. It was reopened on May 18, 
and closed November 30. During the season it was open for 
evmuastic and athletic exercises on 155 days, with a total attend- 
ance of 160,596, or a daily average of 1,036, an increase of 175 
over the previous year. 

On account of the removal of the old building preparatory to 
the erection of a new one, the gymnasium was not open in De- 
cember. | 

A new building is now being erected under ‘the direction of ths 
City Architect, which will afford much larger accommodations 
und provide facilities for dressing, bathing, etc., which facilitiee 
are a necessity for the success of a gymnasium. 

Only one accident occurred during the year: a boy was struck 
by the 16-pound shot, he having carelessly run across the ground 
reserved for shot-throwing ; his ankle was broken. In the future 
it will be well to have the spaces, devoted to putting the shot, in- 
closed by fences. 

Women’s Gymnasium and Girls’ Playground. — These were re- 
opened on May 21, and closed on October 31. As in previous 
years, they were in charge of the Massachusetts Emergency and 
Hygiene Association, whose report to the Park Commissioners 
contains all matters of interest concerning the work. 

The building at this ground having proved inadequate for the 
purpose for which it was designed, an addition is now being built 
which will double the accommodations and furnish facilities for 
bathing and dressing which have been wanting in the past. 
Walker & Kimball, architects, have charge of the work. 

Miscellaneous. —'The grounds other than the gymnasiums are in 
good condition, except that the promenade along the river has 
become worn and should be resurfaced. 


Pusitic Park, Norru Enp. 


Early in the year the old buildings were removed, and on July 
12 a contract was made with William L. Miller for the removal 
of the old wharves, etc. This work was finished on September 
20, at a cost of $3,400. Plans are now being prepared for the 
construction of that portion of the park between Charter and 
Commercial streets. 


BRIGHTON PLAYGROUND. 


A survey was made of this ground for the purpose of deter- 
mining its area and boundaries. 

The appended table shows the principal items of work com- 
pleted to date on the several parks, so far as it is practicable to 
tabulate them. 

A large amount of other work has been done, which it is im- 
possible to classify. 

Respectfully submitted, 


WILLIAM JACKSON, 
City Engineer.

REPORT OF THE ‘COMMITTEE OF THE MASSACHU- 
SETTS EMERGENCY AND HYGIENE ASSOCIATION 
IN CHARGE OF THE WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S 
DIVISION AT CHARLESBANK. 


Boston, November 18, 1894. 
To the Park Commissioners: 


GENTLEMEN: With increased pleasure do we again submit to 
you our report for the fourth year of our work at Charlesbank. 

Never have the benefits of the Women’s and Children’s Divis- 
ion been so fully realized as this season, when the discipline of 
large numbers has been easy, because so many of the children, 
having acquired in previous summers the art of work and of 
obedience, this year became our self-constituted helpers. 

Many of the older ones kept up at home during the winter some 
of the gymnastic movements, and returned to us in the spring for 
increased out-door practice. The affection of the children and 
girls for their instructors is so very evident that, if space allowed, a 
vreat deal could be said about the moral and refining influences of 
Charlesbank, where for nearly six months the same children are 
under the daily care of the same friendly teachers. 

But it is in regard to health that we would this year place the 
emphasis in our report. Last summer occasionally a doctor would 
send to us a child needing special gymnastic treatment. This year 
we: have had several such cases. Some girls came with a tendency 
to lateral curvature which was to be counteracted by certain gym- 
nastics ; others had weak lungs and required development of the 
chest; one or two were suffering from the effects of nervous pros- 
tration, which had induced paresis of the muscles of the right arm ; 
two or three were troubled with stiffness in their joints and gen- 
eral ill-health; one had a slight displacement of the shoulder, and 
was unable to raise her arm to her head; two were losing the use 
of their arms in consequence of accidents which had happened to 
them. 

Besides these special cases (all among persons who could not 
have afforded to go to a private gymnasium) we have had many 
girls and women who came to correct their general dehility. In 
each case such marked improvement was soon perceptible that we 
attributed it not alone to the effect of gymnastics, but also to the 
fact that the exercises were practised out of doors. To many 
girls Miss McMartin gave exercises which were followed at home 
daily. 

In addition to the classification of such cases, there was a still 
larger number of those who have been guided in exercise for three 
years at Charlesbank, whose growing vigor of frame and activity 
it is a pleasure to witness. We have now 300 girls who regularly © 
Weur gymnastic suits. As an indication of the greater frequency 


te. City Document No. 25. 


also of the hand-bath which the girls take in the dressing booths 
at the end of the gymnasiun, after exercising, is the number of 
towels which were used in three months, 2,859. 

In order, however, that the best results may be obtained from 
eymnastic treatment we need some simple anthropometric appara- 
tus to test the physical conditions of the girls. 

From the gymnastic point of view it is better to have a smaller 
number of pupils who shall be led through graded exercises to full 
condition of health than to have larger numbers exercising irreg- 
ularly, merely because they enjoy such sport. Others again who 
come for a day experience such soreness and discomfort that they 
seldom return. It is difficult to know just where to forbid exer- 
cise on simple apparatus in} a free public gymnasium, yet each 
year is justifying the wisdom of forbidding the use of many ap- 
pliances until a pupil is prepared for them by previous training. 

The class work this season has been more extensive and thor- 
ough than before. We bave had classes for beginners and for 
advanced pupils, also for working girls who could only come Sat- 
urday afternoons, and for special pupils in twos or threes, who 
require peculiar guidance. 

Besides the gymnasium proper our charge has also extended to 
the sand pens for little children, and to the grassy playground, 
where foot-ball was practised to some extent, but always under 
direction, while games of hand-ball, jumping ropes, hoops, and 
team-races were constantly going on. Miss Doyle has had classes 
every pleasant afternoon, her the children sewed, pasted, or 
folded papers, followed by games. She distributed three times 
more sewing cards this year than last; each child as the card was 
given her told what it represented and the color in which it should 
be worked. The general utility of this playground for health, 
morals, and happiness is immense. 

In October there was an exhibition of gymnastics and kinder- 
garten work, which showed what fine results had been obtained by 
persistent effort, when regular attendance could not be enforced. 

For whatever measure of success has been obtained in kindly 
discipline, increased bodily strength, good times, and good man- 
ners, gratitude is rendered to Miss McMartin, the superintendent, 
and her assistants, Miss Mahoney and Miss Doyle, who have 
evinced great skill as teachers and friends. Miss E. A. Phelps, 
the visiting superintendent here and at the playgrounds in the 
school yards, gave large and constant help in many ways. 

The ” possibilities of Charlesbank are constantly widening. 
Visitors as experts in gymnastics, and as philanthropists and 
curious observers, come in numbers to study our methods. 

The attendance from May 15 to November i has been 145,392, 
a daily average of 887. The average age of those using the gym- 
nasium has been between 14 and 15 years. 

In closing our report we tender our sincere thanks to Mr. E. W. 
Howe, who has always been ready to aid us; to Mr. Murphy, the 
foreman; to those of the police force who have assisted us; and 
to many friends for books, papers, flowers, and worsteds. 

Two of the committee have taken turns throughout the season

in assuming the responsibilities of chairman, and have given 
freely of their time and thought to the various problems presented 
at Charlesbank.

addition said board shall have the same rights and powers over 
and in regard to the roadways or boulevards taken and constructed 
hereunder as are or may be vested in them in regard to other open 
spaces by said chapter four hundred and seven and acts in amend- 
ment thereof and in addition thereto, and shall also have such 
rights and powers in regard to the same as, in general, counties, 
cities and towns have over public ways under their control; pro- 
vided, however, that nothing in this act contained shall be taken or 
held to affect or abridge the right of any city or town lying within 
said district to pursue and apprehend, as it lawfully may from 
time to time, any person or persons who commit within the limit 
of said city or town any breach of any statute, ordinance or 
regulation. The liability arising out of any defect or want 
of repair in any roadway or boulevard maintained by said 
metropolitan park commission under this act, and the rights 
and remedies thereto appertaining, shall be in all respects 
the same as those provided by law inrelation to the repairs of 
public ways and bridges, in chapter fifty-two of the Public Statutes 
and any acts passed from time to time in addition thereto or 
amendment thereof. Actions seeking to enforce such rights and 
remedies shall be brought against the commissioners as such, but 
there shall never be any personal liability on the part of them 
or any of them to any person injured as aforesaid by reason of 
such defect or want of repair. Notices required to be served 
upon the defendant in proceedings hereunder shall be served 
upon the chairman of the board or its secretary. All sums re- 
covered against said commission under the foregoing provisions, 
together with any costs of suit and counsel fees, expenses and in- 
terest, shall be taken and held to be expenses of care and main- 
enance, within the intent and meaning of this act as hereinafter 
expressed and provided for. Said board may maintain in repair 
and lease buildings, together with land appurtenant thereto, upon 
any portion of the property at any time taken or acquired by it; 
and also may erect, maintain in repair and lease such buildings, 
with land appurtenant thereto, upon any property at any time 
under its control, as may fairly be necessary to serve the public 
uses for which such property is held. Said board shall have suit- 
able office accommodations for its purposes, and shall keep the 
plans, documents, records and accounts of its doings at such 
office, and each year shall include a report of the same, with a full 
statement of receipts and disbursements hereunder in the report 
required by said chapter four hundred and seven. 

Sect. 4. The board of aldermen of said city of Boston for the 
county of Suffolk, and all other counties lying partly within said 
district by vote of their county commissioners, the cities within 
said district by vote of their city governments, and the towns 
within said district by vote of their selectmen, are hereby re- 
spectively authorized and empowered to concur in any taking by 


Park DEPARTMENT. 83 


said board, and thereby to transfer their rights in any streets or 
lands taken thereunder. 

Secor. 5. Said board shall estimate and determine as near as 
may be all damages sustained by any person or corporation by 
the taking of land, or any right therein under this act; but any 
one aggrieved by such determination of the board may have such 
damages assessed by a jury of the superior court in the same 
manner as is provided by law with respect to damages sustained 
by reason of the laying out of ways. If upon trial damages are 
increased beyond the award of the board the aggrieved party shall 
recover costs, otherwise such party shall pay costs; and costs 
shall be taxed as in civil cases; but no suit for such damages 
shall be brought after the expiration of two years from the date 
of the recording of the taking, as required by the following sec- 
tion. 

Secr. 6. Within sixty days after any street, way, land or 
right therein is acquired or taken under this act, the board shall 
file and cause to be recorded in the proper registry of deeds, a 
description thereof sufficiently accurate for its identification, with 
a statement of the purpose for which the same is acquired or 
taken, which description shall be signed by a majority of said 
board. 

Secr. 7. To meet the expenses of taking and constructing 
said roadways or boulevards herein provided for, the treasurer 
and receiver general shall, with the approval of the governor 
and council, issue scrip or certificates of debt in the name of the 
Commonwealth and under its seal, to an amount not exceeding 
five hundred thousand dollars, for a term not exceeding forty 
vears. Such scrip or certificates of debt shall be registered as 
bonds or with interest coupons attached, and shall bear interest not 
exceeding four per cent. per annum, payable on the first days of 
January and July in each year. Such scrip or certificates of debt 
shall be designated on the face as Metropolitan Parks Loan, Series 
2; shall be countersigned by the governor, and shall be deemed a 
pledge of the faith and credit of the Commonwealth, and the prin- 
cipal and interest shall be paid at the times specified therein, in gold 
coin of the United States ; and said scrip or certificates of debt shall 
be sold and disposed of at public auction or in such other mode 
and at such times and prices, and in such amounts and at such 
rates of interest, not exceeding the rate above-specified, as the 
governor and council shall deem best. ‘The treasurer and re- 
ceiver general shall on issuing any of said scrip or certificates of 
debt establish a sinking fund and apportion an amount to be 
paid thereto each year sufficient with its accumulations to ex- 
tinguish the debt at maturity. Any premium realized on the 
sale of said’ scrip or certificates of debt shall be applied to the 
payment of the interest on this loan as it accrues. 

Secr. 8. The commissioners required to be appointed by sec- 
tion eight of said chapter four hundred and seven shall also, in the 
manner therein required, determine the proportion in which each of 
the cities and towns of the said district shall annually pay money 
into the treasury of the Commonwealth, during each of the five

said treasurer, and one half of any deficiency in the amount pre- 
viously paid in, and shall then return their award into said court; 
and when said award shall have been accepted by said court the 
same shall be a final and conclusive adjudication of all matters 
herein referred to said commissioners and shall be binding on all 
parties. Before the expiration of said term of five vears, and 
every five years thereafter, the commissioners then appointed 
under said section eight of said act shall, in the manner directed in 
said act, determine the proportion in which each of the cities and 
towns of said district shall annually pay money into the treasury 
of the Commonwealth as aforesaid, for the ensuing term of five 
years, and shall return their award into said court; and when said 
award shall have been accepted by said court the same shall be a 
final and conclusive adjudication of all matters herein referred to 
said commissioners and shall be binding on all parties. The re- 
maining one half of all said annual expenses shall be paid by the 
Commonwealth. 

Sect. 9. The metropolitan park commission shall annually 
estimate the expenses of preservation and necessary care of said 
public reservations for the ensuing year, and the proportion of

expenses in the manner provided in the following section. 

Sect. 10. The amount of money required each year from each 
city and town of the metropolitan parks district, to meet the in- 
terest, sinking-fund requirement, and expenses aforesaid for each 
year, and deficiency, if any, shall be estimated by the treasurer 
of the Commonwealth in accordance with the proportion de- 
termined as aforesaid, and shall be included in and made a part 
of the sum charged to such city or town and be assessed upon 
it in the apportionment and assessment of its annual state tax; 
and said treasurer shall in each year notify each city and town of 
the amount of such assessment, and the same shall be paid by 
the city or town into the treasury of the Commonwealth at 
the time required for the payment and as a part of its state tax.

one half of the interest, sinking fund requirement and expenses 
aforesaid for each year, and deficiency, if any, shall be included

Recorp Ink. 


In May, 1894, the Legislature passed an act entitled “ An 
Act to establish Standard Record Inks for Public Records,” 
and about the middle of September the City Clerk, after re- 
ceiving official notification of the same from the Secretary of 
the Commonwealth, requested the superintendent of this 
department to call the attention of the officials of the County 
of Suffolk, and the heads of the departments of the city to 
the act, and request that orders for the ink be forwarded to 
this office without delay. The following is a copy of the 
circular issued : 


PrinTING DEPARTMENT, 
City Hatt, Boston, September 17, 1894. 


Your attention is respectfully called to the following extract 
from the Acts and Resolves of 1894: 


[Cuap. 378.] 


Ul 


AN ACT TO ESTABLISH STANDARD RECORD INKS FOR PUBLIC RECORDS. 


Be vt enacted, ete., as follows: 

Section 1. No person having the care or custody of any book of record 
or registry in any of the departments or offices of the Commonwealth, or of 
any county, city, or town therein, shall use or allow to be used upon such 
books any ink excepting such as is furnished by the secretary of the Com- 
monwealth. 

Sror. 2. The secretary of the Commonwealth shall from time to time 
advertise for proposals to furnish the several departments and offices of the 
Commonwealth, and of the counties, cities, or towns therein in which books 
of record or registry are kept, with inks of a standard, and upon conditions to 
be established by the secretary, at such periods and in such quantities as may 
be required, and may contract for the same. 

Secr. 3. The inks so furnished before accepted by the secretary 
shall be examined by a chemist, to be designated by the secretary, and if 


L2 City DocuMENT No. 26. 


at any time any of said inks shall be found to be inferior to the established 
standard the secretary shall have authority to cancel any contract made for 
furnishing said inks. 

Sect. +. This act shall take effect upon the first day of September in 
the year eighteen hundred and ninety-four. [Approved May 12, 1894. 


All orders for Writing Ink required for use on books or papers 
of Record or Registry in your office or department should be made 
up and forwarded to this office without delay. In ordering please 
make the requisition large enough to cover six months’ supply. 


Tuomas J. LANE, 
Superintendent of Printing. 


In response to this circular orders for the ink were re- 
ceived from many of the departments and oflicials notified, 
but a number not replying it was deemed necessary to send 
out the following additional notice : 


PRINTING DEPARTMENT, 
City Hat, Boston, December 3, 1894. 


Sir: Ifany Standard Record Writing Ink is required for use 
in your office or department it will have to be ordered immediately, 
as the Secretary of the Commonwealth has notified the City Clerk 
that orders received later than the first week in December will not 
be attended to until April, unless in special cases. All orders for 
Standard Record Ink furnished from the office of the Secretary of 
the Commonwealth must be made for siz months’ supply and sent 
in before the jirst of October and the first of April of each year. 

Requisitions may be made on the regular blank forms for 
Stationery furnished from this office. 


Respectfully, 


THomMaAs J. LANE, 
Superintendent of Printing. , 


This was more generally complied with, and at the present 
time the ink is in use in nearly all the departments: and 
offices. 

Considerable fault has been found with the working of the 
ink. It is said to be gummy, gritty, not to dry well, and 
smooches easily —this last being particularly noticeable in 
damp weather. Possessing the quality of copying, it 1s diffi- 
cult to obviate this. 

The attention of the City Clerk having been called to these 
complaints, he furnished me with a copy of instructions re- 
ccived from the Secretary of the Commonwealth for guidance 


PRINTING DEPARTMENT. 13 


in its use. This was printed and issued in the folléwing 
form : 
PRINTING DEPARTMENT, 
City Hatt, January 4, 1895. 

~ The following circular of directions for the use of Standard 
Record Ink received from the Secretary of the Commonwealth by 
the City Clerk is, at his request, issued in this form for the infor- 
mation of the Courts of the County of Suffolk, Departments of 


the City Government, and other officers having the care of the 
Public Records. 


Respectfully, 
Tuomas J. LANE, 
Superintendent of Printing. 


Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 


OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY. 
DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF STANDARD RECORD INK. 


Do not allow the ink to freeze. 

Do not add water, other ink, or any foreign substance to it. 
The mixture of certain inks would result in the precipitation of 
everything but the water. 

Keep it tightly covered when not in use. 

Use a coarse pen, in order to deposit a sufficient body of ink 
upon the paper, and al/ow the ink to dry. Blotting paper should 
not be used upon records. Its use removes the body of the ink, 
leaving discoloration, but nothing for penetration. 

The use of acids in making erasures is dangerous, as the acid 
left in the paper may destroy the ink when the paper is again 
written upon. 

The ink should be frequently renewed in the inkstand, and the 
inkstand washed carefully, especially where steel pens are used, 
as the constant dipping of the pen has a tendency to produce 
chemical changes in the ink. 

Wn. M. Oty, 


Secretary. 


Since the circular of instructions was issued, no further 
complaint has been made to me; so it seems fair to infer 
that the ink must be giving better satisfaction. 

As it is very important that an ink possessing the quality 
of permanence claimed for the “Standard” should be used 
upon all the public records, it is to be hoped that the 
seeming imperfections have been remedied. 


Tuomas J. LANE, 
Superintendent of Printing.

Reference to the foregoing tables shows an average in- 
crease of inmates over the previous year, also a decrease 
of the cost per capita for the same period in every institu- 
tion in this department, notwithstanding that several extraor- 
dinary expenditures amounting to ten thousand dollars 
were incurred, and which were paid from the appropriation 
for current expenses. ‘The total expenditures exceeds that 
of last year eleven thousand three hundred and ninety-one 
dollars and twelve cents, and the actual cost is nineteen 
thousand eight hundred and eighty-four dollars and sixty- 
one cents greater than for last year. The income was eight 
thousand five hundred and sixty-three dollars and forty-nine 
cents less than in 1893 and 1894.

DEER ISLAND INSTITUTIONS. 


Howse or Inpustry. 


This institution is in excellent condition. It is still over- 
crowded, which requires the use of the day-room. This it 
was confidently believed would have been discontinued upon 
the completion of the addition made in 1893. 

The number of inmates remaining on January 31, 1895, 
is fourteen hundred and seventy, an increase from the same 
date in 1894 of ninety-seven. ‘The daily average for this 
year is fourteen hundred and fifty, an increase of two hun- 
dred and fifty-six over 1894. 

To accommodate the constantly increasing numbers we 
recommend the erection of a new wing to contain four hun- 
dred cells, the estimated cost of which is three hundred 
thousand dollars. 

The recommendation made in previous reports in relation 
to the deepening of the pond and connecting it with the 
institution is renewed, and a special appropriation of fifteen 
hundred dollars will be requested for that purpose. 

A new gasometer, replacing the old one that was worn 
out, was put in at a cost of one thousand and seventeen dol- 
lars which was paid from the regular appropriation. 

The extension of the stone-yard referred to in the last 
report is under way, and will be in operation in April. 


Hovusk oF REFORMATION. 


The number remaining January 31, 1895, is sixty-six, a 
decrease of six from the same date 1894. The daily aver- 
age of inmates is sixty-two, an increase of five over 1894. 

The removal of this institution to Rainsford Island in the 
early spring will give an opportunity to have it carried on 
under the most modern ideas. 

The pauper women are now being removed from Rains- 
ford Island to Long Island, and when their removal is com- 
pleted, it is intended to remodel the buildings for the re- 
ception of the inmates of the House of Reformation; that, 
in addition to the schooling now provided, a system of mili- 
tary drill and discipline will be established; the Sloyd 
system and instruction in the various trades introduced, the 
whole management to be directed according to the latest 


16 City Document No. 29. 


approved methods of such an institution. Being separated 
from adult criminals and with the modern pretioas intro- 
duced the best results must follow. 


TRUANT AND PARENTAL SCHOOLS. 


The number remaining January 31, 1895, is seventeen, a 
decrease of seventy-six from 1894, on the same date. The 
average number for the year is one hundred and one. 

The truant-school has been managed as well as the sur- 
roundings and circumstances have allowed. The long delayed 
change of location is about to be made. 

The Parental School buildings were substantially com- 
pleted in September last, and would have been occupied but 
tor the delay of the contractor in the construction of the 
settling-basins and filtering-beds for the sewage, the com- 
pletion of this work being necessary before occupation, as 
there is no public sewer in the vicinity. As soon as the 
basins and bed are finished (which it is hoped will be in a 
few weeks) the school will be established. Another dor- 
mitory building of the same character and size as the present 
one is required immediately, and will cost thirty-five thousand 
dollars. A request for an appropriation for this amount will 
be made at an early date. 


Home FoR PAUPERS, RAINSFORD ISLAND. 


This institution is in good condition. 

The number remaining January 31, 1895, is two hundred 
and seventy-two, against two hundred and twenty-seven on 
the same date in 1894. The average number for this year 
is two hundred and fifty-two, an increase of seven over 1894. 
The removal of the paupers to Long Island was begun late 
in January, and will continue during pleasant weather until 
all have been transferred. 

Considerable difficulty has been experienced with the 
water supply at Rainsford Island, caused by the breaking of 
the main supply pipes. We recommend the construction of 
a reservoir with a capacity of one million gallons similar to 
that completed at Long Island. The estimated cost of main 
supply pipes, hydrants, and cement for concreting the inside 
is $2,500. The labor will be provided from Deer Island. 

With the permission of His Honor Mayor Matthews the 
Board granted the use of the old hospital on this island to 
Dr. Harold C. Ernst, of Harvard University, for a summer 
hospital for poor children and their mothers in July. The 
building was cleaned thoroughly, repaired, painted, and kal- 
somined throughout, and furnished with bedsteads which were 


Pusuic INsTiIruTIONS DEPARTMENT. 17 


on hand. The hospital was managed by the Sisters of St. 
Margaret, and was open from August 8 to September 15, 
and in that time there were received two hundred and tifty 
mothers and children, of which number one hundred and 
twenty-nine were patients. It was supported by subscription 
and was a worthy charity. 


Home For Pauprers, Lone ISLAND. 


The number remaining at Long Island January 31, 1895, 
is six hundred and eighty-eight, a decrease of eight from 
January 31, 1894. ~The average number for the year is five 
hundred and fifty-four, an increase of seventy-one over the 
previous year. 

This institution is in most excellent condition. The 
hospital, the erection of which was began in October, 1891, 
and occupied in March, 1893, has been fully completed by 
the erection of the easterly wing, which was occupied in 
January of this year. This building is considered one of 
the best hospitals in this country. It is finely located, and 
is equipped in every way in the very best manner, with the 
most approved appliances, lighted by both gas and elec- 
tricity ; its ventilation and heating plant is perfect, and the 
drainage system the best. It is furnished plainly but sub- 
stantially. It fully supplies a need which had been for 
many years lacking in proper accommodations for the sick 

oor. 
‘ A board of visiting and consulting physicians and sur- 
geons has been appointed, consisting of the following gentle- 
men, all eminent in their profession : Maurice H. Richardson, 
M.D., Edward N. Whittier, M.D., A. Laurence Mason, 
M.D., William M. Conant, M.D., and George Haven, M.D. 

The women’s dormitory, with accommodations for three 
hundred and twenty inmates, has been completely furnished 
and is now occupied. This building, with the easterly wing 
of the hospital, was placed under contract with Mr. J. He 
Flynn on November 7, 1893, and cost to erect seventy-eight 
thousand seven hundred and three dollars and sixty-three 
cents. A description of this building was given in the report 
for 1593. It is lighted with gas and electricity, and the heat- 
ing and ventilating plant. is the same as that in the hospital. 
The completion of this building provides accommodations 
for all the poor that the city must support. 

The reservoir, begun in 1892, was completed and was 
filled on December 7, 1894. It has a capacity of upwards 
of a million gallons, and its value has been proved already, 
the institution using water from it since on account of the 


18 Ciry Document No. 29. 


supply pipes between Moon Head and Long Island having 
burst. We trust that it will be repaired at an early day. 

A new telephone cable was laid between Long and Deer 
islands to replace the one laid in 1889, and has been in 
working order since April last. In compliance with an 
order from His Honor Mayor Matthews, the Commis- 
sioners supplied additional fire appliances at both Long 
and Rainsford islands at an expense of two thousand 
three hundred. and fifty-four dollars and forty-five cents, 
which was paid from the regular appropriation. The 
removal of the paupers from Rainsford necessitated the 
enlargement of the boiler-house and laundry building; 
a larger receptacle for coal was also built with a capacity 
of one hundred and twenty-five tons. The extension 
was erected by labor from-Deer Island, the expense in- 
curred being that only for material. An ice-house, with a 
capacity of three hundred and fifty tons, is now being built ; 
a tool-house was constructed by pauper labor with material 
which was on hand. The recommendation made in several 
previous reports relating to the erection of coal-sheds here 
is renewed, the cost of which would be about two thousand | 
dollars. . 

The Committee of the Whole of the Board of Aldermen 
of 1894 in their report recommended their erection, and also 
a chapel. We concur with their opinion and will ask for a 
special appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars for that pur- 
pose, and trust that it will be granted. 

With the erection of a small hospital for syphilitic patients 
Long Island will be perfectly equipped for the purpose for 
which it is used. The estimated cost of such a building is 
twenty thousand dollars. | 


Housk OF CORRECTION. 


The number of inmates remaining January 31, 1895, is 
six hundred and sixty-three, being thirty-nine less than on 
the same date in 1894. The average number for the year is 
six hundred and fifty-six, an increase of fifty-two over the 
previous year. 

The institution is in as good condition as the ancient build- 
ings and capacity will allow. Jor many years recommenda- 
tions have been made for the erection of new prison build- 
ings, but the City Council has not seen fit to appropriate the 
means to carry out the suggestions made. 

We recommend that when the lunatic hospital buildings 
are vacated a thorough examination of them be made by the 
‘City Architect to determine if they can be remodelled so as 


Pusuic Institutions DEPARTMENT. 19 


to make proper prison buildings, and if so determined to 
contract for the work, thus giving the needed additional 
room for the House of Correction. If they cannot be 
utilized for that purpose, that they be torn down and new 
buildings of the best construction, with all the latest modern 
improvements, be built. This would give an opportunity to 
classify the prisoners, which, in the opinion of the best in- 
formed prison managers, is absolutely necessary for good 
discipline and for the accomplishment of the reformation of 
the class confined in such a prison. 

In response to an order passed in the Board of Aldermen, 
dated January 7, 1895, as follows: 

* Ordered, That the Commissioners of Public Institutions 
be requested to consider and report to this Board the amount 
of money required for the construction of a new house of 
correction, together with a suitable site other than in South 
Boston,” the Commissioners sent the following report: 
“That the cost of buildings is estimated at eight hundred 
and ninety-seven thousand dollars ($897,000). The Com- 
missioners are unable to name an eligible location at this 
time, but believe that a suitable site can be procured for 
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), thus making a total esti- 
mate of nine hundred and forty-seven thousand dollars 


($947,000) .” 
Lunatic HOSspPIirat.: 


The number remaining in this institution January 31, 1895, 
was four hundred and sixty-four, an increase of six over the 
previous year; the average number for the year was four 
hundred and fifty-seven, an increase of twelve over last 
year. The new buildings at Austin Farm were occupied in 
July by the transfer of patients from South Boston, thereby 
relieving the old hospital from its crowded condition. At 
the present time there are three hundred and forty-six at the 
Farm, and one hundred and eighteen at South Boston. 

The completion of the buildings at the Pierce Farm will 
more than accommodate those remaining at South Boston. 

The delay in occupying these buildings is caused by the 
failure of the contractor to finish his work; they are nearly 
completed, and will be occupied during the month of March. 
It will be necessary to erect an administration building for 
the superintendent and the medical staff this year, plans for 
which have already been prepared, at an estimated cost of 
thirty-five thousand dollars. A filtering-bed must be pro- 
vided for the sewage, the settling-basins and drains having 
been constructed. The estimated cost of the filtering-bed is 
eight thousand dollars. 


20 Ciry Document No. 29. 


An ice house is being built at the Pierce Farm, with a 
capacity of three hundred and fifty tons. The ice will be cut 
from the pond at Austin Farm, the cost of which will be paid 
from the regular appropriation. 

We renew the recommendation in our last report relating 
to the extension of this plant, which is quoted in full 
below : | 

“In furtherance of the plan proposed by the Commission- 
ers for several years past, viz., the advisability of the city 
taking care of all its insane poor in institutions of its own, 
they recommend that there be built the coming year five 
dormitory buildings — four on the Pierce Farm and one on 
the Austin Farm — of similar construction and size of those 
erected this year, which will provide quarters for nearly ali 
the city’s insane; and also suggest the city acquire by pur- 
chase or the right of eminent ante all that tract of land 
bounded by Canterbury, Walk Hill, Back, and Morton 
streets, not now owned by it, containing about 110 acres, 
which, with that already ow ned, would make a total of about 
250 acres, which would give sufficient room to erect build- 
ings with capacity to take care of that class of the city’s 
wards for years to come. Should this be done, and build- 
ings added as may be needed, the city will be able to support 
its insane at less cost, and the friends of the patients saved 
much time and money now expended in visiting them at 
the various hospitals distant twenty-five to one hundred 
miles.” 

The estimated cost of these buildings is two hundred 
thousand dollars, furnishing accommodation for five hundred 
patients. 


Ciry’s INSANE IN STATE HOSPITALS. 


The number of insane supported by the city, remaining 
in State institutions January 31, is eight hundred and ninety- 
five, an increase of sixty-three over the same date in 1894, 
and are located as follows :

forty-nine thousand three hundred and seventy dollars and 
eighty-two cents. 


MARCELLA-STREET HoME. 


This institution is in most excellent condition. 

The number remaining in the institution January 31, was 
three hundred and thirty-one, an increase of seventy-seven 
over the last year. The average number for the year was 
two hundred and eighty-eight, an increase of forty over the 
last report. 

The same interest which has been shown by several ladies 
in the past has been continued, and the gratitude of the Com- 
missioners as well as of all concerned are due them for their 
many kindnesses and self-sacrificing acts. We hope that 
the City Council will take some means to remove the offal 
yard, so often complained of as a nuisance, and the removal 
of which has been requested so frequently. 


ALMSHOUSE, CHARLESTOWN. 


This institution has been carried on in the usual careful 
and comfortable manner. 

The number of inmates remaining January 31 was one 
hundred and sixty-one, five less than in the previous year. 
The average number was twelve greater than at the last re- 
port, being one hundred and fifty-seven against one hundred 
and forty-five. 


The steamer “J. Putnam Bradlee” is now in the best 
condition, having been thoroughly overhauled and repaired 
after the accident, which nearly destroyed her on September 
12, 1894, at a cost, including raising and towing, of 
$6,442.18, which was paid from the appropriation for cur- 
rent expenses. The steamer was engaged on that date 
conveying a party of excursionists to Nantasket beach upon 
invitation of His Honor Mayor Matthews, and while in 
Weir river she struck on Dolphin ledge, and partially sunk. 
The passengers were safely transferred to another steamer, 


and the.“ Bradlee” was finally raised, towed to Kast Bos- 


22 Ciry Document No. 29. 


ton and there repaired. She has performed her regular 
trips since, besides making special trips to the islands, carry- 
ing water. 


On January 8, 1894, an order was introduced in the Board 
of Aldermen to proceed with an investigation of the Public 
Institutions, and to give public hearings, etc. This order 
was based on a report made by the Committee on Houses of 
Detention, made to the City Council, dated October 23, 
1893, which reflected on the condition of certain penal insti- 
tutions. 

The first hearing was held on March 15, and Mhe last on 
December 28, there being fifty-eight in all. For obvious 
reasons the Commissioners do not wish to discuss the subject 
or its results, as the public was kept well informed from day 
to day through the press, of the evidence presented and the 
arguments made, and further, as the City Council have 
caused to’ be printed a large edition of the stenographic 
report of the hearings, consisting of 3,830 pages contained 
in three volumes (City Document 211), everyone who has 
read, or who may read the report, will conclude for them- 
selves what was accomplished. We, however, think it proper 
to quote the following portion of the majority report of the 
Committee of the Whole: 

“A large amount of criticism has been directed, during 
the investigation, against the character and actions of the 
subordinate officers of the institutions, and it has been 
claimed that an inferior grade of officials have been in many 
instances employed on account of the meagre and insufficient 
compensation allowed. It is evident that the Commis- 
sioners, from their actions, have endeavored to raise the 
standard of the institutions, and have asked for sufficient 
funds to carry out their plans in this respect, but they have 
not been seconded in all their efforts by the Mayor and 
City Council, for the funds they required for the purpose 
were not supplied in every instance. : 

‘¢The investigation has closed. Its extraordinary length 
can be accounted for from the fact that a lar ge number of 
institutions have been under examination. The charges have 
been practically the same with regard to each institution, and 
the faults that have been disclosed were, as every one ad- 
mits, largely due to insufficiency of the buildings and the 
system of administration that was not “up to the times,” 
or not in keeping with the modern enlightened views upon 
the subject. It has been shown that the Commissioners 
have endeavored to improve the institutions and raise their 
standard of administration.” 


eh 


Pusuic INSTITuTIONS DEPARTMENT. 23 


We also feel it proper to quote from the valedictory of 
His Honor Mayor Matthews, believing it to be a full and fair 
view of the investigation : 


*PAUPER AND PENAL INSTITUTIONS. 


“These, since early in 1889, have been in charge of the 
Board of Commissioners of Public Institutions, created by 
Chap. 245 of the Acts of that year, and consisted in 1891 of 
the House of Correction in South Boston; the House of 
Industry, the House of Reformation, and the Truant School 
at Deer Island; a lunatic hospital partly in South Boston 
and partly at Austin Farm; a home for pauper children on 
Marcella street, in Roxbury, and three almshouses on Long 
and Rainsford Islands, and in Charlestown. 

“Disturbances, finally resulting in open riot, occurred at 
Deer Island in the latter part of 1891. A careful personal 
investigation satisfied me that those disturbances had been 
fomented by one of the commissioners and some of the sub- 
ordinate officers at the island; and these officials were there- 
fore removed, under circumstances more fully set forth in 
the message, to the City Council of Feb. 5 and Feb. 23, 
1392. The ease with which discipline has been maintained 
among the prisoners from that day to the present seems to 
be proof conclusive that the right course was followed at the 
time. 

“Induced by this occurrence to investigate more carefully 
the general condition of our public institutions, I soon 
became convinced that they were one and all suffering from 
an utter inadequacy of accommodations, as well as from 
certain defects of management and system largely due to the 
lack of proper buildings. 

“The accommodations in the House of Industry at Deer 
Island were wholly insufficient for the average number of 
prisoners there, and the close proximity of this institution to 
the House of Reformation and Truant School for Boys was 
objectionable in the highest degree. At Long Island there 
was but one building, constructed in 1885-88 without regard 
to modern methods of treatment and classification ; and the 
building at Rainsford Island was still older and wholly 
unadapted to the needs of a modern almshouse. The 
Lunatic Hospital at South Boston was unfit for the care of 
the insane in every respect, apart from its overcrowded con- 
dition. It was opened in 1839, and enlarged in 1846, since 
which time no money had been expended on it except for 
ordinary repairs. Some of the inmates were removed to 
Austin Farm in 1887, but that had furnished no permanent 
relief. 


24 -Crty Document No. 29. 


* With the assistance of a Board of Visitors, composed of 
public-spirited citizens familiar with institutional work, 
appropriations have been made amounting to $907,500, with 
which 876 additional cells have been “provided at Deer 
Island ; five new buildings for the insane have been erected 
at Bee ein Farm; 77} acres of additional land have been 
purchased in the vicinity of Austin Farm, and three buildings 
for the insane erected thereon; a Parental School for Boys, 
consisting of two buildings, has been built on about twenty- 
nine acres of land purchased in West Roxbury ; and several 
hospitals and a new dormitory have been erected at Long 
Island. 

“These buildings are practically complete, and are either 
already occupied or will be within a few weeks. They will 
permit the department to concentrate at Long Island all the 
paupers entitled under the laws of the Commonwealth to 
permanent support by the city; to transport all the truant 
boys to the beautiful home provided for them in West Rox- 
bury; to devote Deer Island exclusively to the House of 
Industry and‘its prisoners; to remove the House of Refor- 
mation for Boys to Rainsford Island; and to remove all the 
Insane patients of the city, not boarded out in the State 
institutions, to Pierce and Austin Farms in Dorchester. 

“The new buildings will also permit the arrangement, 
separation and classification of patients upon approved 
modern theories, and include larger and better hospital 
accommodations than can, Iam satisfied, be found in similar 
institutions elsewhere in this country. 

“A large part of the time of the Board of Aldermen has 
been occupied during the year just closed with an investiga- 
tion into abuses allezed to exist in these institutions. Inves- 
tigations by a tribunal which has no power to compel the 
Brena ice of witnesses or to administer a binding oath, and 
to which the most reckless statements can be made without 
_ subjecting the witness to the penalties of perjury, are not apt 
to be fruitful in results. The Board has listened with great 
patience to every one who had a complaint to bring against 
the management of the institutions, and has finally exonerated 
the commissioners from the charges brought against them. 
This result is, in my opinion, matter for public congratula- 
tion, as more vicious and undeserved attacks upon public 
officers than have at times been made in the course of this 
investigation have seldom been witnessed in the annals of 
municipal government. 

“T would not be understood, however, as Se eerate date 

opinions held by the Board of Visitors or by the public- 
spirited ladies and gentlemen who, if mistakenly, yet 


Pusuic INstTirutTions DEPARTMENT. 25 


honestly, thought that the best way to secure the desired 
reforms was through a public investigation carried on in 
advance of the possibility of reform. The reports of the 
Board of Visitors in 1892 and 1894 contained many valuable 
suggestions, which were promptly acted on by the depart- 
ment; others were found impracticable’ without additional 
legislation; and others were impossible of execution until 
the new buildings were completed. There was no possibility 
of introducing the more general reforms recommended by 
the Board so long as the inmates of our institutions were 
confined in the miserable, crowded quarters until recently 
existing. In other words, much of the criticism passed upon 
the commissioners was premature. Now that the new build- 
ings are complete, administration upon the most approved 
modern institutional theory is for the first time possible. 
As it was unreasonable to expect a proper treatment accord- 
ing to modern methods of the pauper and criminal wards of 
the city in the public institutions as they existed four years 
ago, so now, with one of the most modern and elaborate 
plants to be found anywhere in the country, their misman- 
agement ought to be impossible.” 


Mr. John D. Berran was appointed and confirmed a Com- 
missioner of Public Institutions on January 23, vice Mr. 
Thomas H. Devlin, whose term of office expired on May 1, 
1894. 

Mr. Francis W. Knowles, for many years clerk of accounts 
at the Commissioners’ office, died on September 15, 1894, 
and was succeeded by Mr. George H. Brown, promoted from 
the registry clerkship. 

Your attention is respectfully called to the reports of the 
several superintendents, sent herewith. 

The recommendations made in the majority report of the 
Committee of the Whole have been or are being carried out 
so far as is practicable. 

The institutions are, we believe, in better condition than 
ever before, and the efforts of the Commissioners have been 
constantly in the line of improvement. 

Respectfully,

DEER ISLAND INSTITUTIONS. 


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 


To the Commissioners of Public Institutions: 


GENTLEMEN: The following report of the condition of 
Public Institutions at Deer Island, comprising the House of 
Industry, House of Reformation, and Truant School, is re- 
spectfully submitted. 

The past year has been an eventful one, —also very try- 
ing, — not only to me, but every official connected with the 
Public Institutions of the City of Boston. 

We have passed through the ordeal, and have been able 
to keep our discipline at a high standard, for which I am 
very grateful. 

' The inmates of the House of Industry have reached a 
larger number the past year than ever before, it being 1,274 
males and 394 females, besides children of sentenced moth- 
ers; also, adults under observation, sent by the Examining 
Physician of the Board, Dr. Jelly. 

When the truant boys are removed to the New Parental 
Home, at West Roxbury, and the reformation boys to 
Rainsford Island, these buildings may be used to good ad- 
vantage, and would relieve the crowded condition of the 
House of Industry, and give us opportunity for classification. 

There is now an effectual separation of the sexes in the 
House of Industry, also the Hospital, which is a wooden 
building, erected in 1885. I consider it of sufficient size 
and adaptation for hospital purposes and lying-in women 
with infant children. The plan is designed for a good clas- 
sification. 

There are 3 wards, 128 feet long by 28 feet wide, desig- 
nated as Wards A, B, and C. 

Ward A is the nursery for sentenced mothers with chil- 
dren; Ward B is for the women; and Ward C for the men. 

They are connected by a corridor. 

The buildings of the House of Industry were erected in 
1849, and are well suited for the purpose. 

The plan is in the shape of a cross, and the dimensions 
are as follows: 

The centre building is 5 stories, 75 feet square, and 75 
feet high; each perpendicular corner is subtended by the

section of acircle. The basements are divided by a brick 
wall, and are used for receiving and bathing purposes. The 
first floor for kitchen, second floor for female sewing-room, 
third floor for cane-shop and store-room. Fourth ‘floor is 
the chapel, with a gallery, with a seating capacity of 1,200. 
From the centre building there are four wings, running 
north, south, east, and west. 

The north wing is 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 
feet high. The basement is used for a wash-room for men. 
The first floor, dining-room; second floor, male sewing- 
room ; third floor, dor mitory; fourth floor, attic dormitory. 
This wing is used for men only. The south wing, for 
women, is 100 feet by 50 feet, and 50 feet high, tases same 
dimensions as the north wing. The basement is used for 
the store; first floor, women’s dining-room and office of the 
institution ; second, third, and attic floors are used for dor- 
mitories for women. ‘The east wing is 250 feet long by 50 
feet wide, and 50 feet high, and contains 776 cells for men. 
The west wing is used for the Superintendent’s house ; 
also, dining-room for Assistant Superintendent, Clerk, Chap- 
lain, and physicians. ‘There are circular towers attached to 
the exterior wall of the north, south, and east wings. 
They are 65 feet high, and 13 feet in diameter, with stair- 
ways, and would be “used, in case of fire, to relieve the dor- 
mitories. We are well equipped for that emergency. The 
roof is slated; the floors are double, and laid with mortar 
between them; the ceilings are not plastered; the walls are 
brick, built hollow, and without lath or plaster. All the 
wings are separated from the centre building by a thick, 
brick wall, covered and secured in all its openings with iron 
doors and shutters, and rising above the roof of the wings, 
so as to make a complete barricade against fire, behind w hich 
the inmates of a wing on fire may retreat. 

The supervision is so complete as to enable officers on 
duty to see the very beginning of fire from top to bottom 
and from end to end. 

A stand-pipe runs up through the centre building, with 
125 feet of hose, with pipe attached, on each floor, so that 
water may be used at a moment’s notice. 

I would recommend that a stand-pipe be placed in the 
Hospital corridor, with pipe and hose attached. We would 
then be well guarded, and able to combat with a fire should 
one occur. 

The numbers are increasing, and we have not cells or 
workshops enough. Some 450 men have been obliged to 
sleep in dormitories the past year. A cell should be pro- 
vided for each inmate. 

There are 125 men at work in the sewing-room, 30 men 


28 | Crry Document No. 29. 


in the bake-shop, 85 men in cane-shop, 30 men in the 
carpenter and cooper shop, 17 men in the shoe-shop, 10 
men in the blacksmith-shop, 25 men as upholsterers and 
painters, 75 men as waiters, scrubbers, bed-makers, and 
whitewashers, 80 men in piggery, barn, ‘and at the wharf, 
140 men at stone-cutting, and the remainder work on the farm 

at all kinds of labor under the eye of an officer at all times. 

When our new cells were completed we thought we would 
be in condition to provide each male inmate with a cell, but 
since the new law relating to drunkenness went into effect 
the institution became as overcrowded as ever, all the dormi- 
tory rooms have been occupied as sleeping apartments, and 
we could not use them for workshops as intended. Owing 
to our crowded condition we have not the opportunity for a 
thorough classification. We do the best we can under the 
circumstances, and if we can have the facilities better results 
will be shown. 

I wish to say that in my years of experience and 
knowledge of the institution I have never met a more zealous 
and faithful corps of officers than are now with me, and the 
present prosperous condition of the institution is the best 
evidence of their ability and loyalty. All of the departments 
of the institution have been in efficient operation during the 
year now closing. 

It is absolutely necessary that.a firm hand should be held 
over those who are committed to the House of Industry, and 
while there have been inflictions of punishment: whenever | 
it was needful in maintaining discipline, it has been adminis- 
tered impartially and uniformly. 

In the matter of food, economy has been studied, and at 
the same time the food supplied has always been sufficient in 
quantity, clean and wholesome, and properly prepared. 
The health of the inmates affords. sufficient evidence that 
there is nothing to complain of in that respect. 

The amount received in payment of fines for the past year 
is $10,570, which sum has been: paid over to the County 
Treasurer. 

An average of 119 men have worked in the stone-yard. 
We have sold to the City of Boston 44,046 feet edgestone, 
100 catch-basins, 238 corners, and 2,525 paving-blocks 
valued at $32,316.20. 

We have on hand 3,055 feet rough stone, ‘also finished 
and ready for delivery 9,001 feet edgestone, 244 feet fine 
hammered edgestone, 18-6, feet circle edgestone, 1,350 pav- 
ing blocks, 238 curb Lieto and 100 ecatch- panel We

tion, especially for the prison, as every man in a cell would 
then have a good light to read by. 

Our intention was to transfer the reformation boys to the 
Truant School building. September 1, but could not, as the 
truant school was not removed, consequently they still 
occupy the old wooden building beyond the Truant School. 
An average of 12 House of Reformation boys are employed 
in the printing-office, the remainder. do no work except 
cleaning house and farming during the summer months. 
These boys should have instruction in some branch of 
mechanical industry, not for the income we would derive 
from their labor, but to teach them a trade that would be of 
benefit in after years. They are under the instruction of 
Henry C.. Twitchell, as teacher. 

After the examination in the Truant School department all 
but 6 of the boys were released with the understanding that 
their school would be removed to the new Parental Home 
that was under construction at West Roxbury. As they 
were not removed at that time, they began to return to us by 
the last of September, and the number at the present time is 
17. They are under the instruction of Jas. S. Freeman.

seemed to me to be a great responsibility, connected with 
the faithful discharge of the duties of my office.

CHAPLAIN’S REPORT. 


Deer Istanp, January 31, 1895. 


Mr. James RK. Gerrisu, Superintendent of Deer Island 
Institutions : 


Dear Sir: I beg to submit to you my annual report as 
the Chaplain and Superintendent of Schools and Director of 
Masic. The religious services have been held and faithfully 
conducted on Sunday as.usual. The congregations for the 
year have been unusually large, owing to an increased num- 
ber at the House of Industry. Tt is probably true that many 
who attend our religious services have not been accustomed 
to do so while at liberty. It is hoped these exercises are 
attended with good results, and indeed we are led to expect 
this from expressions of sorrow and a purpose to reform. 

Singing in our divine service is by the boys of the schools, 
and they sing well. In this part of our work, Miss Clara 
W. Baker, as organist, fills her position in a most acceptable 
manner. 

Sabbath morning we conduct a Sunday school, assisted by 
Miss Baker and Miss Pike, who render valuable service. 
We furnish a weekly paper for the religious culture of the 
boys, and it is looked for with much pleasure. I hold divine 
services every other week at Rainsford and Long Islands 
Sunday morning. Also services through the week on the 
three islands, as may be required. 


LIBRARY. 


The boys’ department is well supplied with suitable books 
and papers adapted to their years. Friends have been very 
thoughtful and kind, and have sent us good reading matter. 
We select with care the literature for the boys. The library 
for the women is well furnished with suitable books, papers, 
and pamphlets. We received an ample supply of nice cards 
for Christmas and New Years. The chief source of our gifts 
of reading matter is the City Library and the Hospital News- 

paper Society. 

Let me say we are very much in need of a well-furnished 
library for the men of the House of Industry. We have 
eleven and sometimes twelve hundred men, most of whom 
are fond of reading. At present we are dependent upon 


49 City Document No. 29. 


individual gifts, which is far from being sufficient, besides 
not always “suitable literature. I wish an ‘appropriation might 
be made for this very worthy object, which I think would 
prove helpful in our work of reform. 

The annual examination of the schools took place June 27, 
1894. Commissioners Dr. Thomas L. Jenks and Thomas H. 
Devlin, owing to the press of business, were unable to be 
present, and Commissioner Edwin L. Pilsbury was with us 
and conducted the examinations. He expressed his pleasure 
at their good exhibition. Mr. Pilsbury and his associates 
take a deep interest in the boys and their schooling. 

The principal studies taught in these schools are reading, 
spelling, arithmetic, and geography; and every boy, as 
soon as possible, is made acquainted with these branches. 
The education of many of these boys is not what we could 
wish, but the improvement the past year is very encouraging. 
Each school is supplied with a master. Mr. Henry C. 
Twitchell is the teacher in the department of the House of 
Reformation. Mr. James S. Freeman is the master of the 
Truant School. 

The schools are under the instruction of faithful teachers, 
who are doing good work. A pleasant feature of these 
schools is the good discipline, which is free from severity of 
punishment. The suggestions by the Commissioners for the 
future of these boys is very hopeful, when the truants will 
be taken to the new Parental Home and various industries 
established for the reformation boys. 

Vocal music is taught mostly out of school hours. All 
the boys are gathered Saturday afternoon, in the chapel, for 
instruction by the Chaplain, assisted by Miss Baker. The 
choir-boys also meet for drill in singing for Sunday

Nots.— Some cases not admitted to the hospitals are included in this classification, which 
will account for the difference in the number of admissions between the above statistics and. 
the preceding tables. 


During the past year 1,928 inmates of the House of Indus- 
try have been admitted to the hospital and received treat- 
ment. Of this number 40 have died. There was one death 
at the House of Reformation. There have been 7 births — 
1 female and 6 males, 2 still-born. I would respectfully 
direct your attention to the need of window-screens for use 
in the hospital wards during the summer months. Drs. 
Lane and Brough are still associated with me. Dr. Geo. 
H. Sullivan, our interne, resigned August 15, to continue 
his medical studies abroad. 

Thanking you for the many courtesies extended me, I am, 


Very respectfully, 
Tuomas F. Rocue, 
Resident Physician.

COUNTY OF SUFFOLK, HOUSE OF 
CORRECTION. 


SoutH Boston, February 1, 1895. 
To the Commissioners of Public Institutions : 


GENTLEMEN: The following report and statistics of Suf- 
folk County House of Correction for the year ending January 
81, 1895, are respectfully submitted. ; 

The commitments during the year were 1,212 against 
1,233 the year preceding, being 21 less, yet the average 
number has increased, being 656 against 604 for the year 
1893-94, an increase of 52. 

The total expenditures have slightly decreased. The re- 
ceipts for labor also decreased, owing to the general depres- 
sion in business. Our inmates were at times idle. It will 
be understood we work upon the piece-price plan, without 
guarantee from any party or parties of a supply of work to 
keep any number employed, but take such work as is from 
time to time offered. At present the outlook is favorable 
for the employment of all for whom we have shop-room. 
Our increased numbers exceed the capacity of the work- 
shops; all, however, have some employment, although it 
may be slight, during the day, who are not assigned to the 
shops. 

We trust, that our wants in the direction of more and 
better accommodations will, during the year 1895, be urged, 
so that we shall feel assured, that in the near future there 
will be a House of Correction suitable and worthy the County 
of Suffolk. As heretofore the same crowded condition exists, 
and there appears no reason to expect any less number of 
prisoners. On the contrary, we may expect more, especially 
so, as we have sent to us a portion of “drunks.” 

A. very unusual mortality has occurred in our official force. 
First our venerable and esteemed chaplain, the Rev. Jonas 
Bowen Clark, who died February 12, 1894. Two officers 
and one clerk followed, joining the great majority. 

The Rev. S. Stanley Searing succeeded Rev. Mr. Clark 
as chaplain. 

The garden and orchard produced the usual amount of 
truck and fruit. 


Pusuic InstTirutTions DEPARTMENT. 59 


Fifteen thousand and sixty-eight pounds of pork was 
slaughtered. 

No alterations or changes of consequence can be reported. 
The ordinary repairs required have been done, mostly by 
prisoners. 

I would call your attention to tables of statistics which 
follow, also to reports of Dr. Bancroft, visiting physician, 
and Rev. S. Stanley Searing, chaplain. | 

With thanks to your honorable board and to all others 
who have contributed to what success we may have had, I 
am, | 
Very respectfully,

CHAPLAIN’S REPORT. 


SoutrH Boston, February 1, 1895. 
Cou. Joun C. Warton, Master of the House of Correction: 


Sir: As chaplain and librarian of the institution under 
your charge, I have the honor to submit the following report 
for the year ending January 31, 1895: 


STATISTICS. 


The following is an abbreviated statement ‘of donations 
made to the library during the year: 


Inmates’ donation . : : : b Vols. 820

Friends have sent books to the chaplain’s residence, for 
the library, in such small quantities and anonymously so 
that these donations are included in the second item. It 
was the earnest desire of my predecessor that there might 
he a better library system, and it is my.own most earnest 
wish. Just so long as the present library system prevails 
there will be no way to check the destruction of volumes of 
books that might reach a majority of the inmates were it not 
that they were so marked and defaced by the few who have 
the first reading as to make their final destruction a moral 
necessity. I judge there are, approximately, three thousand 
volumes on the shelves and in circulation. With an im- 
proved library system, and with an annual appropriation for 
the purchase of new books, I believe that much more effect- 
ive work might be done in improving the moral tone of the 
inmates. Preaching and praying are good, but they should 
be supplemented by “200d books that will peru to the con- 
sciences and the lives of the readers.

CHAPEL SERVICES. 


The services have been held every Sunday afternoon since 
my appointment (June, 1894). During an absence of two 
Sundays the chaplain provided a substitute. We have had 
a number of visiting preachers during the year who have 
spoken words of helpfulness and hopefulness, and we all 
have felt the utmost gratitude for what they have said as 
well as for their kindness in coming. The chaplain hopes 
that during the coming year he may be able to secure the 
assistance of ministers of various religious bodies, so that the 
services may be helpful to all who attend them. The chap- 
lain wishes to thank the management for helping him in 
many ways towards accomplishing the work he has had 
to do. 

Respectfully submitted,

‘ 
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
BOSTON LUNATIC HOSPITAL. 


To the Commissioners of Public Institutions: 


GENTLEMEN: The fifty-sixth report of the Boston Lunatic 
Hospital for the year ending January 31, 1895, is respect- 
fully presented. 

By reference to the first table of statistics, the movement 
of population for the calendar year of 1894 will be seen. As 
there has been no enlargement of our accommodations, no 
great increase in number will be noticed. We have only 
received patients when vacancies have occurred by reason of 
discharges or deaths. The number of city cases committed 
to all hospitals in 1894 was about 400, and we therefore 
received one-fourth of them; the others were sent as usual 
to the State hospitals. 

In selecting the causes to be committed here, those most 
excited, violent, or dangerous, or those most exhausted by 
reason of old age or disease, were chosen on account of the 
difficulty of transportation to a distant hospital. - We have 
for years, by a natural process of selection, received the 
worst of the city causes. It is only by great care and constant 
vigilance that. we have been able to make this old hospital 
serve the purpose of a receptacle for recent and acute cases. 
It is to the attendants in immediate charge of the patients 
that great credit is due for their faithfulness under great dis- 
couragement. They are constantly changing, it is “true, for 
it is not in human nature to endure the strain of such service 
many months continuously. One female patient is so exact- 
ing in her demands. on their time and strength and so 
irritating in her language and conduct as to have caused the 
resignation of at least a dozen nurses in the last three years. 

Considering the entire absence of suitable facilities for 
treatment, it is satisfactory to note that the rate of recovery 
is 20 per cent. and the death rate less than 8 per cent. 
These are about the normal percentages for the State hos- 
pitals and asylums. It is also worthy of note that we have 
had so few serious accidents, suicides, and elopements in the 
past history of this hospital as compared with others in and 
out of the State. We have had only four suicides in fifteen 
years. This result has not been reached by excessive 


fy? City Document No. 29. 


restraint, as that has seldom been more than two or three 
per cent., but by care in classification and in the use of 
associated dormitories. Four suicides for a single year is 
not an unusual record for a large public hospital. A recent 
homicide in this State has called public attention to the 
practice of putting two insane patients together in the same 
room. This has heen forced on the State hospitals by a 
doubling of their numbers, but has never been allowed here 
for a single night. 

In May, by permission of. your Board, I attended the 
semi-centennial meeting of the American Medico-Psychologi- 
cal Association at Philadelphia. To me was assigned the 
pleasing task of making appropriate reference to the “New 
England Alienists of the Past Half Century.” After men- 
tioning Doctors Woodward, Ray, Bell, Earle, Jarvis, and 
Tyler, allusion to this hospital was made as follows : 

“In 1839 the Boston Lunatic Hospital was opened to 
relieve the Worcester Hospital of its city cases. Dr. Butler 
was its first superintendent. He was, like Dr. Woodward, 
aman of modern ideas with reference to insanity and its 
treatment. He regarded employment, amusement, and 
moral management as essentials, and discouraged the use of 
restraint.. He found a number of the worst cases at the 
neighboring almshouse permanently confined in wooden 
cages. As a specially humane feature of their treatment, 
these cages were put on wheels, and in fine weather were 
drawn out of doors. Dr. Butler released all these poor 
creatures, and he often told me of one woman, especially 
dangerous and maniacal, whom he won by presenting her a 
dandelion. She was soon restored to comparative sanity 
and good conduct. 

“In 1887 I had the pleasure of introducing him to one of 
his original patients, who for forty-eight years continuously 
had resided in the same hospital in comfort and contentment. 
Dr. Butler was appointed superintendent of the Hartford 
Retreat in 1843, and served thirty years. He converted the: 
dreary, cold, dark, and forbidding walls, the narrow pas- 
sageways, and the comfortless rooms and dormitories of 
1843, into an institution well nigh perfect in its appoint- 
ments. He hada hobby, which we might all ride to advan- 
tage, in the individualized treatment of the insane. 

“Dr. Stedman was the second superintendent and served 
nine years. He was educated at Yale and Harvard, and for 
ten years was surgeon to the Marine Hospital. After 1851 
he was surgeon at the City Hospital. He first introduced 
the use of associated dormitories for the insane. The ad- 
dition to the hospital in 1846 for one hundred and twenty 


Pusuic Institutions DEPARTMENT. 73 


beds was all in dormitories. During his term of service 
severe epidemics of cholera, ship-fever, and malignant dys- 
entery occurred, but he was well fitted by experience and 
education to cope with them. Dr. Curwen says: ‘Few men 
had greater opportunities for observing disease than he, and 
he improved them with great earnestness. He educated 
many students before the days of medical schools in 
Boston.’ 

“Dr. Walker took his degree in medicine at Harvard. 
He then became an assistant at the South Boston city insti- 
tutions. In 1847 and 1849, when cholera and ship-fever 
prevailed, he volunteered with Dr. Upham to assist in the 
‘fever sheds’ at Deer Island. He was appointed superin- 
tendent of the Boston Lunatic Hospital in 1851, and retained 
the position thirty years. 

“He at once gave up the use of stone cells for excited 
cases, diminished restraint, and improved the hospital in 
-many ways. After many years of effort the city govern- 
ment bought a site for a new hospital. Plans were made 
and money appropriated, but the project was unexpectedly 
killed by the mayor’s veto. Dr. Edward Everett Hale said 
of him, after his death, in 1883: ‘He was the personal friend 
of all his patients, and brought to the miracle of cure the 
only power which can effect it — the loving sympathy of the 
physician. He fairly commanded his broken patients by 
what we choose to call the magnetic power of his personal 
care. Behind all the resources of medicine he bad this re- 
quisite for victory, that he made them believe they would get 
well.’” 

A résumé of the life-work of Doctors Bancroft, Draper, 
Sawyer, Goldsmith, and many other recently deceased mem- 
bers was given, and I added in conclusion :- 

“Of living New England alienists it is not my province 
to speak. They are all young men, or of middle sge, and 
belong to the new era of psychiatry. They work under the 
inspiration and by the light of the new psychology. They 
are all working to perfect their hospitals, public or private ; 
to build new ones, or to improve their methods of treatment. 
May it be long before any of them need a biographer. Out- 
side the hospitals, but interested either in the practical or 
theoretical side of our specialty, are such men as Hall, 
Donaldson, Hodge, Bowditch, Councilman, James, Royce, 
Munsterberg, Folsom, Jelly, Prince, Putnam, and Knapp. 

“The new school is less absorbed in hospital routine, is 
broader and more scientific than the old. As proof of this 
proposition I would cite the fact that clinical and didactic 
instruction on insanity are given in all cur New England - 


74 City Document No. 29. . 


medical colleges, and have been made requisites for gradu- 
ation at Harvard. Laboratories for experimental psychology 
have been established at Harvard and Clarke Universities. 
As further evidence, take the four training-schools for nurses 
of the insane, first eereo ashen at the McLean Asylum ; also, 
the pathological laboratory there, and the work of Dr. 
Gannett at the Boston Lunatic Hospital. Also the fact that 
in Massachusetts there are now in process of erection a 
chronic asylum for the State, a municipal hospital for Bos- 
ton, and a private hospital for the McLean Asylum. . These 
are all on the segregate plan, and it is believed each will be 
the best of its kind in this country at least. 

“Another proof of the scientific spirit is the fact that the 
Boston Medico-Psychological Society not only includes 
nearly all the alienists of New England, but all the neuro- 
logists as well. It is a large and flourishing society, with 
monthly meetings for the reading of papers, and subscribes 
for a long list of special journ nals in several languages. It 
also invites distinguished specialists from distant cities to 
read before it, and to meet the physicians and surgeons con- 
nected with our hospitals and colleges socially. The last 
reader was the superintendent of the “Johns Hopkins Hospi- 
tal, your honored secretary. 

“The same spirit of progress has happily infected our 
larger society, once limited to superintendents alone, and 
naturally most interested in the practical side of hospital 
management. Now any physician sufficiently qualified and 
interested may be elected to our number, any unqualified 
superintendent may be kept out, being no longer a member 

ex officio. ‘Two-thirds of onr fellows are already ‘assistant 
physicians, so that young blood and new ideas ought here- 
after to visibly affect our transactions.” , 

At the meeting in Philadelphia, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell 
was invited to address the association, and in a friendly way 
present his familiar criticisms of hospitals for the insane. 
On my motion -he was made an honorary member. Doctor 
Mitchell would only send patients to such an hospital as a 
last resort, preferring home treatment or the boarding out 
of patients in the families of physicians. His ideal hospital 
would have managing and visiting boards which should visit 
and inspect in a thorough and intelligent manner and not in 
the common perfunctory way. He would have a consulting 
board of medical specialists. The medical staff should be 
numerous and well paid, men of high scientific attainments, 
neurologists as well as alienists, and not mere farmers, 
stewards, or custodians. 

He would have an administration building with all the 


Puswiic INSTITUTIONS DEPARTMENT. v5) 


newest conveniences and appliances in the way of books, 
apparatus, laboratories, and dispensaries for scientific re- 
search and treatment. Also elaborate baths, gymnasiums, 
electric apparatus, amusement halls, and workshops. The 
nurses should be trained, uniformed, skilled in massage, 
numerous, well paid, and well housed. The reception-ward 
for recent cases should have ail the facilities for treatment 
found in first-class general hospitals. Each patient, on ad- 
mission, should be under constant observation night and day 
for three days by an assistant physician of his or her own 
sex. The other wards should be small cottages for ten or 
less scattered among trees and shrubbery, over extensive 
grounds, and homelike without and within. 

Dr. Walter Channing, in a very sensible review of Doctor 
Mitchell’s eloquent address, remarks that “This ideal hos- 
pital would require an ideal bank account.” No fault can be 
found with it as a standard for any wealthy private hospital 
like the McLean Asylum. The picture is a familiar one and 
presents an ideal towards which many superintendents have 
been striving for years. The question of expense will pre- 
vent most of his recommendations from being adopted by 
public insane hospitals. Doctor Mitchell overrates the prob- 
able results of such treatment as tending to increase recov- 
eries and diminish deaths. The indifference of. the very 
demented to their surroundings would detract from the value 
of such treatment as applied to them; still, most hospitals 
might go a long way in the direction of improved treatment 
without unreasonable expenditure. The natural pen ca Eey 1s 
towards a lower standard. 

The chief harm of Doctor Mitchell’s opinions will be to 
create distrust of existing hospitals and indifference to the 
establishment of new ones. Governing bodies may act on 
the principle that if an ideal hospital is unattainable by 
reason of its expense, they will do without any. This would 
be bad logic, but it might serve as an excuse for procrastina- 
tion.” Another evil may result in the discouragement of 
early commitments. It has always been the unanimous 
opinion of superintendents that early treatment was of vital 
importance in insanity. They all know that home treatment 
is little better than no treatment in most cases. 

Insane hospitals are all handicapped by this tendency to 
use them only as places of detention after all other means of 
control have failed. They are also prevented from doing 
their best work by reason of universal overcrowding. Most 
complaints and criticisms of them arise from this evil. No 
state or city builds hospitals fast enough to accommodate all 
their insane. The usual way is to wait until existing hos- 


76 Crry DocumEnT No. 29. 


pitals, : asylums, and almshouses are filled with insane 
patients from basement to attic. Then it requires a fire or 
an accident to call public attention to this state of things. 
Officers are subjected to unfair criticism, and newspapers 
exaggerate matters in the effort to interest the public. It 

may even require a formal investigation to tind out what had 
long been known or that could be seen at a glance, viz., the 
need of more room. 

A year or two is then spent in getting an appropriation 
and making plans, and several years more in building the 
hospital. Meanwhile, a second accumulation of patients is 
found to exist to be provided for. Hospitals are thus never 
free from overcrowding, ‘and never fulfil their legitimate 
purpose. There seems to be a prevalent delusion that in- 
crease of population will not be accompanied by an increase 
of insanity. 

IT think, Dr. Mitchell underrates the amount of scientific 
work done in hospitals for the insane. The papers read at 
the meeting in Philadelphia would go far to contradict him. 
The Board of Lunacy and Charity of this state have sent out 
circular letters of inquiry on this subject, and I hope it will 
be shown that the medical officers of hospitals in this vicinity 
have done all that could be expected of them. The Board 
will also recommend the appointment of a state pathologist 
in connection with either the Worcester or Danvers Hospital. 
I think a pathological assistant for each large hospital de- 
sirable also. His whole time need not be given to path- 
ological work. Thorough and prolonged clinical observation 
of any case is equally important and a necessary preliminary 
to pathological study. He should be well prepared for his 
position, paid more than an ordinary assistant, and work in 
codperation with the state pathologist. A small pathological 
laboratory should be the adjunct of every mortuary, and 
need not be very expensive. 

In July, 100 excited and untidy chronic patients were re- 
moved from South Boston to the new detached wards at 
Austin Farm. There were 50 of each sex, and they relieved 
our lower and middle wards here of a class of patients which 
had long been a source of discomfort and positive injury to 
the quiet and convalescent patients. The harmful sights and 
sounds and odors of our lower wards no longer offend the 
senses of patients above them. ‘These wards have been un- 
occupied and closed since the removal. Our attics have 
been still longer disused. We have four wards in use with 
120 patients, mostly recent cases, either curable or feeble, 
and needing much nursing. Most of these will be removed 
to Pierce Farm when that hospital is opened. 


Pusuic INSTITUTIONS DEPARTMENT. ce 


The advantage to the 100 patients removed is as great as 
to those who remain. Distributed in the large and numerous 
single rooms, dormitories, day-rooms and wards of the new 
buildings, they seem lost. They no longer irritate each 
other by undue proximity, and they are much quieter. The 
rooms are not only numerous, but high, light, warm, and 
airy. Narrow and gloomy corridors have given way to 
rooms flooded with sunlight, with a pleasant prospect in 
every direction. The surroundings of these wards for our 
worst patients are of the pleasantest kind, and more attrac- 
tive than at Pierce Farm. Lavatories are numerous and 
convenient, and the air is no longer malodorous. Restraint 
and seclusion has diminished since their removal. With 
single rooms for all noisy cases, sleep is possible to the quiet 
ones. 

The chapel, amusement-hall and dining-room building was 
dedicated to one of its uses by a party, April 19. Another 
dancing party was given January 10. It was used as a 
dining-room first, in July, for 100 men and 150 women. 
They are separated at meals by movable screens, six feet 
high. These and the tables can easily be removed into the 
connecting corridors, and a high, light and beautiful amuse- 
ment-hall provided, 50 feet wide and 90 feet long. 

We have had no regular religious services since the death 
of our chaplain, Rev. Jonas B. Clarke, a year ago. Rev. 
Andrew Gray officiated a few times last spring. Our patients 
here have had the privilege of attending both Protestant and 
Catholic services at the House of Correction chapel. They 
have also been invited to all the holiday entertainments 
there, for which we are greatly indebted to Col. John C. 
Whiton. The clergy of the Gate of Heaven church have 
been very kind in answering calls to attend the sick and 
dying. I hope we may have regular services of both kinds 
after our removal. 

The new kitchen, which was completed in July, will serve 
500 patients and ofheers, and is under the dining-room. The 
old kitchen and disused dining-rooms have not yet been fur- 
nished for patients’ use. They will accommodate twenty 
mep and ten women, and will increase the number at Austin 
Farm to 3880. The bakery was opened in the fall, and the 
new laundry also. The latter has all the most modern ma- 
chinery, including a large steam-drum or disinfector, and is 
a model for convenience in the arrangement of its rooms. 
The boilers and engine, and the complic ated heating appa- 
ratus, are in the hands of two day and one night. engineers. 
It is hoped that a dynamo may be put in this year. 

Three buildings of the hospital group at Pierce Farm are 


78 Crry Document No. 29. 


finished, and will soon be furnished and occupied. The 
group is still headless, however, lacking an administration 
building. Money should be appropriated for it, and ground 
broken without a week’s delay. It will be necessary to oc- 
cupy the domestic building as a substitute until the admin- 
istration building is finished. 

The grading has been nearly completed, and a service road 
constructed from Canter bury street to the rear of the group. 
The semi-circular driveway on Walk Hill street is the key 
to the proper location of all the paths, lawns, beds, trees, 
and shrubbery. . Much work must be done this season, and 
_ unless this most important and central building of the group 

is definitely provided for early. in February, another year 
will be lost. 

Allow me to thank your Board for their continued active 
interest in the affairs of this hospital, and also for a long 
vacation last summer. 


Very respectfully, 
TuHEo. W. FISHER, 
Superintendent.

100 Crry DocuMENT No. 20) 


HOME FOR PAUPERS, LONG ISLAND. 


Boston Harpor, February 1, 1895. 
To the Commissioners of Public Institutions: 


GENTLEMEN: I respectfully submit the annual report of 
this institution for the year ending January 31, 1895. 

As will be seen from the table of admissions, discharges, 
etc., which accompanies this, the number of male admissions 
is largely in excess of any previous year. As in previous 
years, the increase has come mainly from the undesirable 
class, men who have no business in an institution of this 
character. The daily average is larger than ever before; 
many men who heretofore have gone out in the spring and 
remained out till late in the fall, this year, after one or two 
attempts at getting work, have come back to stay. 

Of the 1,565 total admissions, 364 were for the first time, 
and of these, 189 were under 35 years of age; of the 1,314 
men admitted, 1,066 had been, by their own admission, in-. 
mates of penal institutions. I sincerely hope that some 
legislation will be passed this winter which will enable us 
to treat this rapidly-increasing population in a manner which 
will be best for them and best for the institution. 

In the early part.of the year discipline at this institution 
was very difficult to maintain; there was a great disinclina- 
tion for work, and much discontent, the reason to you is obvi- 
ous. For the past six months discipline has been good ; to-day 
the men seem quite willing to work at anything , nnd fault-° 
finding is rare. We have gotten rid of a few malcontents, 
which accounts in part for the change. We have had almost 
no trouble with the women this year, a marked change from 
last. 

Karly i in the year standpipes and hose were put in the 
men’s building, connected with the large fire-pump, and this 
with our larger cistern which holds 100,000 gallons. March 
26 a trial was made, and four $-inch streams of water thrown 
on the roof of the building. if order to make the best use 
possible of our large fire-pump, I would recommend that it 
be connected with the water main so that pressure can, if 
necessary, be put on our general main. Unless this is done, 
the standpipes in the women’s dormitory, and the outside 


\ 


Pusuic INstitTuTIONS DEPARTMENT. 101 


hydrants will be practically useless for fire purposes; if this 
were done, it could also be used in forcing water for domes- 
tic purposes to places where we can’t get it from the reservoir 
pressure. On many occasions it would render recourse to the 
reservoir unnecessary. ° 

The water service this year has, on he whole, been satis- 
factory. We were without our regulartsupply from the city 
for a few days the latter part of February, and from Sep- 
tember 29 to October 1; these were the only lengthy breaks 
we have had. Our reservoir, upon which we have been 
working for so many months past, was completed so that 
the water was turned into it December 7; it took twenty 
days to fill. We have had occasion to draw on the supply 
twice for a few hours each time, and it worked satisfactorily. 
At one time this winter the ice on the reservoir was a foot 
thick, so that if we had had an ice-house to store it in, I 
think we could have harvested in one cutting nearly enough 
ice to last us a year. I think it would be a profitable invest- 
ment to build an ice-house to hold about five hundred tons. 

During the past year we have had two fires, one on Au- 
cust 12, “at the barn, where the damage was very slight, two 
ats of whitewash removing all traces of the fire ; : the nthe 
on September 27, when our old store-shed or blacksmith- 
shop, with its contents, was partially destroyed. That either 
building was saved was due to the vigilance of our night 
watchmen, and the rapidity with which our officers and 
inmates answered the alarm. 

The buildings and furnishings are in good condition. I 
would recommend, however, that all the wainscotting in the 
men’s building be torn down and plaster put in its place. I 
would also recommend that a high board fence be built 
around the clothes- yard ; ; although ‘situated i in as sheltered a 
place as we have, it is nevertheless so exposed to our high 
winds that many articles of clothing are destroyed during a 
year; and I suspect that some are unlawfully removed, 
although aman is detailed to watch the yard. Our green- 
house is at present very poorly located, and hardly deserves 
the name, yet it contains many hundred dollars worth of 
plants ; it would seem to me to be good judgment to expend 
a few hundred dollars on a new one, as, with good manage- 
ment, I think it could be made to pay for itself in a short 
time. 

The new dormitory for women, built this year, was occu- 
pied for the first time January 31, when the able-bodied 
women were moved from the upper floor of the men’s build- 
ing to their present quarters. 

Several minor improvements were made here during the 


102 Crry Document No. 29. 


year. The store-room was enlarged ; a new blacksmith-shop 
and tool-house was built out of the material saved from the 
old; 2 road built back of the barn; a new sixty-inch boiler 
added to our plant; a standpipe put in the administration 
building, and the cemetery graded. 

Telephonic communication with the city, which had been 
interrupted for over six months, was resumed April 23. 

The produce of the farm this year was nearly, if not quite, 
equal to last, which was remarkable, considering the season. 
Our farming was carried on during the spring ‘and summer 
as usual, by means of labor from the House of Industry ; but 
this fall for the first. time we were able to do our harvesting 
with our own help. 

The grading around the new buildings was done mostly by 
men from Deer Island, but the inmates did a great deal of 
work in that line. 

In estimating the per-capita cost of this institution, I think 
the fact should be borne in mind that we have given dinners 
to nearly one hundred prisoners every day, as an average. 

Mr. Geo. H. Stinson came on February 12, to take the 
place of Mr. Archie F. Smith, as deputy superintendent. 

I wish at this time to express my appreciation of the 
interest taken in this institution by the chairman, Dr. Thos. 
L. Jenks, and all the members of the Commission. 


Very respectfully, 
Cuas.. H. CocswE Ln, i al W bee 
Superintendent.

116 City Document No. 29. 


In examining the above statistics it will be seen that the 
number of diseases exceeds the number of patients. This is 
due to the fact that many of our patients who suffer from 
chronic diseases and stay in the hospital constantly are 
liable to intercurrent diseases. Of the 166 patients in the 
hospital to-day, 44 have been there a year, 22 over two years, 
and 61 over eight months. I have given these figures to 
show the class of patients who predominate in our hospital. 
Our death rate, 11 per cent., is no larger than we should 
expect, when you consider the cases. ‘Of the 129 deaths, 
60,.or nearly 50 per cent., were from apoplexy, tuberculosis, 
or the diseases of old age. We lost a large per cent. of our 
pneumonia cases; but of the 14 deaths, & were men over 63 
years of age, one was 84, two others had delirium tremens. 

The east wing of the hospital was completed in the early 
part of January, and occupied January 20, when the women 
were moved from the centre wing. On January 31 the 
women from the infirmary wards and the women and children 
from the nursery were moved into the centre wing, so that 
to-day the hospital, as originally contemplated, is running in 
all its departments. 

I would recommend that the wooden partitions in the west 
and centre wings be taken out and replaced by some similar 
to those in the east wing. I would also recommend that 
blinds be placed on the hospital and administration building. 

Dr. C. O. Murphy, our second assistant physician, resigned 
February 12. Dr. A. C. Leach came to take his. place Feb- 
ruary 13. On August 20 the hospital staff was increased by 
the addition of a ” superintendent of nurses. Mrs. D. H. 
Kinney was appointed to the position. She resigned Novem- 
ber 1, and Miss Elizabeth McPhail was appointed to fill the 
vacancy. 7 

September 5 Dr. T. H. Ayer was appointed first assistant 
physician, to supersede Dr. R. W. Parker, who afterwards 
resigned November 30. 


Very respectfully, 


Cuas. H. Cogswetu, M.D., 
Physician. 


PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS DEPARTMENT. AG ks 


RAINSFORD ISLAND. 


To the Commissioners of Public Institutions: 


GENTLEMEN: [ respectfully submit the annual. report of 
Rainsford Island for the year ending 1894. 

During the past few months, while the buildings were being 
constructed on Long Island for the accommodation of the 
inmates now here have been nearing completion, I have been 
expecting their transfer any time, and consequently have 
endeavored to have everything in readiness when the time 
comes for the change. 

The buildings here will be left in excellent repair, and 
painted in all parts inside where needed. Considering the 
number of years that the older part of the building has been 
in use I can confidently state that it is in much better repair 
and better adapted for institution purposes than it has been 
for the last five years. The most important suggestion 
I can make, should the building be used in the future for a 
similar purpose as at present, is that better heating facilities 
be provided. 

This island is in a very exposed position. The north-west 
corner of the institution building is especially exposed. In 
stormy or cold weather it is impossible to keep that part of 
the building sufficiently warm for comfort. 

I would also call the attention of the Commissioners to the 
necessity of removing the old grave marks in the burial- 
ground, and in place of the numbered wooden crosses which 
which have always been used I would advise the substitution 
of small stone or slate slabs with the grave number cut in 
each. This is really very necessary as some of the older 
marks are becoming indistinct. 

So much has been said and written recently, and so many 
opinions advanced how to find means to compel the inmates 
of pauper institutions to do a reasonable amount of work, I 
feel it my duty, in justice to the majority of the people in 
my charge, to state that I find no difficulty whatever in 
having nearly all the work on the island done by the inmates 
who are able to lend a hand. 

The routine work from day to day is done by them under 
the supervision of the officers and matrons of the different 
departments. 


118 City Document No. 29. 


For a few weeks during the past summer the old hospital 
building was used by Dr. Ernst as a summer hospital for 
children. During their stay on the island we endeavored to 
do all in our power to render the sisters in charge all the 
assistance possible in their good work, and I am gratified to 
state that the inmates in this institution worked nobly by 
doing a great amount of sewing and other necessary work 
for the little ones. 

In closing, I wish to extend my thanks to Dr. Charles E. 
Dever for his faithful attention to the medical department in 
his charge, and also to the matrons who have always done 
their duty well. There has always been a small number of 
officers and matrons on this island, but they have always 
been ready, night or day, to do any extra duty demanded of 
them.

The degree of health maintained among the inmates of the 
island during the past year has been remarkably good, con- 
sidering the broken down condition in which most of them 
came here. 

There has been but four cases of death from acute disease 
during the past year. 

As? a health resort for children during the summer onthe 
I think, Rainsford has no equal in this section of the country ; 
this has been fully demonstrated by results obtained at the 
summer hospital last season. An institution of this kind, 
supported by the city and under the control of the Com- 
missioners of Public Institutions, would supply a want 
which is greatly needed. 

To you, Mr. Galvin, I wish to express my gratitude for 
the kindly interest you have shown for one and all. 


Respectfully,

* Boston Hicuuanps, January 31, 1895. 
To the Commissioners of Public Institutions: 

GENTLEMEN: JI respectfully submit the annual report of 
this institution for the year from January 31, 1894, to 
January 31, 1895. The number of inmates has been some- 
what larger than in former years. The largest number at 
any one time was 446, in January, 1895; the smallest 376, 
in February, 1894; daily average, 412. We have boarded 
a daily average of 124, leaving in the institution a daily 
average of 288. 

The number of children admitted since the opening of the 
institution, April, 1877, is 4,560.

HEALTH. 


The general health of the inmates has been good. The 
three cases of ophthalmia that were received, and have since 
been cured, constitute all the ophthalmia there has been here. 
We have had four slight epidemics, one each of whooping- 
cough, chicken-pox, measles, and scarlet fever, and the most 
noteworthy fact of our hospital record for the year is their 
being so readily stamped out. Only one case ended fatally 
—a case of whooping-cough. 

The excellent health of the inmates is due, in a great 
measure, to the sanitary conditions of the building and the 
quantity and quality of diet, and plenty of out-of-door 
exercise. 

That our mortality is low is shown by comparing the 
large number of children cared for during the year, and the 
number of deaths during the same period, especially when 
it is known that all but two of the ten children who have 
died, were suffering from the diseases of which they died 
when admitted into the institution. 


SCHOOLS. 


The schools constitute the most important part of the in- 
stitution. We have every cause to be satisfied with the 
excellent corps of teachers, who are all doing good work 
and showing great interest in the children. They spare no 
pains to inspire the pupils with a genuine love of knowledge. 
The sewing school, under the direction of Misses Kate A. 
Clare and Ella L. Thomas, has been doing excellent work, 
and I can speak in only the highest terms of their ability as 
instructors. We are indebted to Mrs. Quincy A. Shaw for 
their services. The report of the principal of schools is ap- 
pended. | 7 


INDUSTRIAL. 
No addition has been made to this department during the 
year, sewing-machine work in the girls’ department being 
our only work. 


= 


Pusuic InstiruTions DEPARTMENT. 129 


This branch of the institution is worthy of your considera- 
tion. 

The most progressive institutions of the country are pro- 
viding suitable industrial training for their inmates, and I 
sincerely hope that-some movement will soon be inaugurated 
towards providing something of the kind at this institution. 
We have no means at present of furnishing suitable employ- 
ment for the inmates, a great many of whom are at just the 
age when something should be done. There is nothing like 
industrial work to aid inthe formation of habits of industry 
and self-reliance. Inculeate into a child the habits of indus- 
try, instruct them to believe that industry is the parent of 
virtue, while idleness is the parent of vice, and you have 
marked out a course for them which, if followed, leads to 
success and respectability. While we might not be able to 
make skilled workmen of all, we could give them at least 
good manual instructions, ard by that i mean teaching a 
Tad how to handle certain tools, as the carpenter’s, for the 
purpose of developing activity of the body, dexterity of the 
hand, and accuracy of the eye. These are the manual results. 
The moral results would be to have encouraged habits of 
industry, perseverance, independence, neatness, love of order, 
love for construction, and a respect for earnest labor; the 
mental results, to have quickened the intelligence and in- 
creased the accuracy of observation and carefulness of com- 
parison. I would recommend the erection of a buiiding on 
the lot owned by us, back of the main institution building, 
and the necessary appliances put into it for giving the boys 
instruction in carpentering, gas-fitting, and shoemaking. 
This could be done at an expense of about ten thousand 
dollars. 


CountTRY Homes. 


The agent, Mr. John E. McCarthy, has placed 37 boys in 
country homes during the year, and 43 girls; total, 80 chil- 
dren. Eight of these, however, returned to the institution. 
Judging from our children for whom he has in years past 
found homes, he uses excellent judgment in this work, for 
the most of these are becoming noble men and women in 
their new homes. 


LIBRARY AND ReapinGc—Room. 


The library contains 700 volumes, 80 having been added 
during the year. The books are instructive ‘and pleasing. 


Suitable weekly and monthly magazines are furnished the 
reading-room. 


130 ~ Crry Document No. 29. 


RELIGIOUS SERVICES. 


The religious services have been conducted for the Catho- 
lics by Rev. Frs. Quigley and Fullerton ; for the Protestants 


by the Rev. D. W. Waldron. 


BAKERY. 
Loaves of Bread Baked during the Year. 


84,367 loaves of bread baked during the year.

BOARDING. 


Quite a number of the inmates have been boarded at 
farms during a great part of the year. This has no doubt 
greatly assisted the agent in securing places, as people living 
near the hoarding-places were able to see the children and - 
make a selection without travelling to the city. A more 
extended account of this branch will be found in the Nursery 
Department report, as it was for this department that we 
inaugurated the plan. We have boarded them in very 
comfortable places, and no child placed where the few dollars 
maintenance money obtained was apparently the only object 
in taking the children. 


EXPENSES. 


The expenses of the institution have been $44,776.08, 

$2.93 weekly net cost per capita for the year. In 
making up this average cost the expenses of those in the in- 
stitution only have been considered, plus the expenses of 
clothing and medicine furnished those boarding out, the 
expensse of those boarding having been paid out of Pauper 
Expenses. 


ENTERTAINMENTS. 


The monotony of the daily routine is relieved by the 
omission of school on Saturday, the proper observance of 
Sunday, the entertainments which are given them on holi- 


Pusuic INsTiruTions DEPARTMENT. Tal 


days, and by the monthly visitation days which are very 
enjoyable both for the children and their friends. 

The munificence of Mrs. Quincy A. Shaw and Mrs. 
George G. Lowell has furnished special instruction to the 
children. We are also indebted to the band of young 
ladies who have so kindly and faithfully visited the institu- 
tion weekly for the purpose of entertaining the children and 
bringing them words of cheer and comfort. The amount of 
good that their visits have done cannot be overestimated, and 
I sincerely hope that they will continue the good work in 
the future. 

During the past month, Dr. F. J. Weller has acted as su- 
perintendent, and to him I am greatly indebted. He has 
nanaged the institution with excellent judgment and care. 

The cares and responsibilities in the superintendence of an 
institution like this are necessarily great, and in_ bearing 
them there is need of much encouragement. It is, there- 
fore, with unfeigned gratitude that I acknowledge the hearty 
support and encouragement that have been invariably ex- 
tended to me by the Commissioners, and especially by the 
Chairman, Dr. T. L. Jenks. 


Respectfully submitted, 


A. B. HeEatH, 
Superintendent.

REPORT OF PRINCIPAL TEACHER. 


MarceLua-streET Home, January 31, 1895. 
To the Commissioners of Public Institutions : 


GENTLEMEN: The report of the schools of this institution 
for the year just ended is herewith respectfully submitted. 

The efficiency of your present corps of teachers is well 
testified to by the excellent condition in which it has 
given me pleasure to find the schools. ‘This high stand- 
ard has been reached through the energetic efforts of Mr. 
Joseph C. Pelletier whose resignation as Principal has so 
recently been the cause of much regret. 

Miss Emma McCarthy, after several years of commend- 
able service, has seen fit to sever her connection with this 
department. She has been succeeded by her sister, Miss 
Lila J. McCarthy. 

Miss Chaffin no longer teaches the Kindergarten. Her 
place has been taken by Miss Dorothy Outerbridge. 

The substitute teachers during the year have been Miss 
Decatur and Miss M. F. Murphy. 

There are now in this school two classes of girls and four 
of boys, as well as the Kindergarten, which includes both 
boys and girls, and which is still under the patronage of 
Mrs. Quincy A. Shaw. 

Mrs. Lowell has also shown her noble sentiments by pro- 
curing Miss McWilliams as the tutor to one of our invalid 
boys. His progress has been remarkable under her care. 

The average daily attendance in the schools has been very 
good; in fact, it seems to have surpassed that of any other 
year. This has been accomplished by your excellent skill in 
cutting short the alarming spread of the scarlet-fever epi- 
demic which threatened to close the classes during the latter 
part of the year. 

The usual statistics follow :

We continue, as in former years, to board them out, and 
with the happiest results. This is the only proper method 
of dealing with infants. It insures individual care, and 
country air and food. I have kept in the Nursery building 
only such cases as required medical treatment. Great care 
is used in the selection of boarding-places, and not more 
than two infants are placed in one family. Only those fam- 
ilies that had farms, and were able to have the best of milk, 
were selected. 

The infants are often visited, and are retained in such 
boarding-places as can furnish them the very best care. In 
only a few instances have we been obliged to remove 
children from boarding-places ; and in these cases the cause 
was ignorance of proper methods of caring for the babies, 
and not to wilful negligence. Babies cannot receive in large 
institutions the necessary attention which it is possible to 
give them in private families. This plan seems to me to be 
the only one to be carried on with satisfactory results; and 
I trust that it has been satisfactory enough to your Board to 
continue the custom in the future.

Pusuic INSTITUTIONS DEPARTMENT. 139 


The health of the inmates has been remarkably good for 
the entire year, as the number of deaths will indicate, being 
but a trifle more than one-third of the number of last year. 

Religious services have been held and entertainments given 
as usual. 

Dr. R. W. Sprague, our visiting physician, attends to the 
sick with unvariable success. . 

The matrons are prompt in the discharge of their duties. 

The garden has fully come up to my expectations. We 
have raised all the green fodder that two cows could dispose 
of; sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage, beets, carrots, parsnips, 
turnips, beans, pews, cucumbers, radishes, celery, melons, 
Swiss chard beets for greens, peppers, etc. 

I wish to extend to all our kind friends my sincere thanks, 
and the thanks of the inmates of this institution, for those 
gifts of flowers, books, papers, cards, etc., and to those 
who. have contributed to the success of religious services 
and entertainments. I wish to assure them that their efforts 
were appreciated. 

Thanking the honorable commission for kind advice and 
courteous treatment. 


I remain, very respectfully, 
CHANDLER EASTMAN, 
Superintendent.

Howuskt oF REFORMATION. 


Before the release, on probation, to parents, relatives, or 
friends, of any inmate of this school, the agency is required 
to investigate ‘the home to which it is proposed to send him, 
and the report usually contains such information 1s warrants 
the Commissioners in releasing such inmates or witholding 
such release. Commitments to this school are during 
minority, and those released on probation are subject to 
recall for any violation of their probation, and, without 
further warrant or authority, cause him to be remanded and 
confined for the unexpired term of his sentence. Six boys 
from the printing department have found good situations in 
this city and vicinity, and twenty others from the school de- 
partment, having no homes or friends, or, if any, not suit- 
able to have control of them, found employment or were 
indentured. 


Homes FOR CHILDREN. 


This portion of the work is the finding of suitable places 
in families for orphan and neglected children, or for those 
whose parents cannot or will not provide for them, thus fur- 
nishing these minor wards the nearest possible approach to 
a home, and saving the city the cost of their support. 

Special means are employed for finding homes. The usual 
one of personal search for suitable persons to take children, 
being continued. 

Two hundred and twenty-seven applications from persons 
to take children were received and investigated. One hun- 
dred of these were filled, and the remaining one hundred 
and twenty-seven were unfilled, because suitable children 
were not found, or on account of places offered being un- 
satisfactory. In the pursuance of families, inquiry has been 
directed to the character of the applicant, the influence with 
which he would surround a child, the disposition to do justly 
by a child, and towards all other points. of character or cir- 


cumstances which might affect the well-doing of the child. 


BOARDING. 


The placing-out of infants from the Nursery department of 
the Marcella-street Home, in farmers’ families where their 
board is paid, is continued, and 112 children are at present 
in such families. Care is exercised in the selection of 
houses, and visitation frequent. Many unsuitable applica- 
tions are made for such children by families who would like 
to maintain themselves, in part, at the expense of the child, 
but these are refused. 


144 Ciry Document No. 29. 


They are visited regularly by the lady visitor of the board, 
and are also under the vigilant supervision of Supt. Dr. 
Heath. Five boys and four girls from the Nursery, and 
_three girls and four boys from “the School department, have 
‘found | permanent homes with those with whom they had been 
boarding, or with others, during the past year. 


> 


VISITATION OF CHILDREN. 


Under this head your agent is required to visit all children 
in charge of the city who have been indentured or placed in 
charge of any family or person by your Board, the purpose 
being to inquire into their treatment, health, associations, 
and to see that their legal rights have been observed, and to 
remove a child, at any time, when, in his opinion, the inter- 
est of the child requires. The whole number subject to 
visitation during the year was 565 in permanent homes, and 
177 boarding; three visits a year being made to the former 
and fortnightly visits to the latter, making an aggregate of 
5,948 visits made. 

Much time is spent in visiting these wards of the city 
scattered throughout New England, some requiring more 
frequent visits than others, in order to keep them in their 
places, while many require several transfers yearly, from one 
place to another, without a return to the institution, before 
they can be suitably located. In connection with the visita- 
tion of children, homes are sought for others, and the clergy, 
both Catholic and Protestant, continue their interest in as- 
sisting your agent in procuring homes for those of their re- 
spective faiths. 

Sixty-five indentured children have passed from the con- 
trol of the Board since my last report in the following ways:

146 Crry DocumMEnNT No. 29. 


The health of the indentured children has been unusually 
good. But one death occurred during the year. 

The assistant agents, Mrs. E. C. Dresser and Mr. D. F. 
Lynch have been diligent and faithful in the discharge of 
their duties. 

I am under obligation to Superintendent Dr. A. B. Heath 
for his cordial codperation in all matters pertaining to my 
duties in connection with the Marcella-street Home. 

In closing I desire to thank the Board, and especially the 
Chairman, Dr. Jenks, for the support and encouragement 
extended to me, and for the interest they have at all times 
taken in the welfare of the wards of the city. 


Respectfully yours, 
JOHN E. McCartuy, 
Agent.

LEGISLATION. 


In my report for 1893 so much space was given to new 
legislation just coming into effect, that itis only 1 necessary to 
consider its results. The law in regard to the marriage of 
minors has proved quite effectual, and recent immigrants 
seem to have been informed of our customs and laws. Many 
alterations of the laws respecting marriages and registration 
were proposed to the Legislature of 1895, but only one new 
law, viz., chapter 427, was enacted. The Spiritualists and 
the Salvation Army both asked for laws allowing their officers 
or nominees to have the power to solemnize marriages. 

In October, 1894, a case was tried in the Roxbury Police 
Court to test the meaning of the law requiring a clergyman 
to be “ordained according to the usage of his denomi- 
nation,” before he could solemnize marriage. The Court, 
after a careful presentation of evidence by experts in ecclesi- 
astical history, decided that the defendant, who belonged to 
the Trinitarian Congregational denomination, had not been 
ordained in proper form, as no council of churches was 
called to ordain and install. The larger question of what 
constitutes ordination in other Congregational denominations 
was not raised. 

It would seem that. before long the Legislature will be 
forced to revise the language of the statutes so as to meet 
the changes of the past centur y. New faiths demand recog- 
nition, even to the extent of preferring civil marriages only 
to the present privileges given to certain denominations. 

On Christmas Eve a member of the Salvation Army 
assumed to solemnize a marriage in this city, and thereby 
raised another question as to the meaning of the words 
“ordination” and “denomination.” This case is still in the 
hands of the police authorities for trial. 

The law conferring on Israelitish rabbis the same power as 
to marrying which Christian ministers possess, seems to be 
unnecessarily lax. It appears in practice that many persons 
are called rabbis who cannot speak or write English. They 
do not understand our laws, and perform marriages without 
complying therewith. Even when instructed as to the need 
of a certificate, they cannot read it nor make the proper en- 
dorsement thereon. As they act in this matter as officers 
of the Commonwealth, it seems only fair to require a com- 
petent knowledge of our language. I therefore recommend 
that application be made to the Legislature for such an 
amendment to chapter 461 of Acts of 1893. 

In my last report were printed the drafts of acts respect- 
ing the names of persons, and official seals. With the 


REGISTRY DEPARTMENT. os 


Mayor's approval these acts were submitted to the Legisla- 
ture of 1895, and rejected with the utmost promptness. I 
beg leave to suggest that these reforms must eventually be 
made, in view of the hardships inflicted by the present law 
or lack of law in regard to change of names. At present if 
a parent or even a domestic give the Christian name of a 
child to the officials, that name can only be altered by order 
of the Probate Court, at a cost of some twenty-five dollars. 
As to the right to use an official seal. in this office, the 
refusal to authorize it causes much inconvenience to persons 
in other States where such seals are in use. Their laws re- 
quire copies to be certified by the official seal. and no valid 
objections have ever been raised to some similar act in this 
Commonwealth. 

The law in regard to the record of deaths remains in the 
old, unsatisfactory state. 

By statute the record of the town clerk Pita to a death 
is made prima facie evidence in legal proceedings of the facts 
recorded. The physician and the undertaker share the 
responsibility of furnishing the certificates by which these 
records are made, including the age of the deceased person. 
This fact is evidently one ~ whieh. except in the case of an 
infant, is beyond the personal knowledge of the physician 
or undertaker, yet the latter must fill out the certificate 
before he can obtain a permit to bury the deceased. As: 
matter of course the age is often incorrectly stated, and 
great inconvenience or damage results. A surprisingly 
large nember of persons are interested in life-insurances. 
The exact age becomes often a matter of great importance 
when the age of the deceased is recorded as different from 
that given in his life-time. The authority wrongly given by 
our statutes to the official record of the age of the decea sed, 
becomes a hindrance to justice. The State officials may 
properly expect to prove the exact date of births, marriages, 
or deaths; and with living persons to question, they can 
obtain the probable ages of persons applying for a marriage 
certificate. But the age of a dead man is a matter heyond 
the scope of their facilities of knowledge. The law should 
be amended so as to define the proofs of age to be required, 
and the method of correcting errors. 


YONSOLIDATED INDEXES. 


In July, 1894, I was able to report that the Consolidated 
Indexes of Deaths, from 1849 to 1881 inclusive, had been 
completed. Early in 1895 the similar Indexes of Births 
were finished and put in use. The Marriage Indexes will 


4 Ciry Document No. 31. 


be finished by September 1, and in fact one volume of the 
six Is already finished. 

From 1882 to date the various Indexes have been classified 
ones, the only suitable form. It has been deemed necessary 
to have these all rebound, each year separately, for obvious 
reasons. In doing this, the experiment has been tried of 
binding in canvas covers. ‘The experience of this office has 
shown that binding large and heavy volumes in full calf is 
not only very expensive, but not very durable. For the 
past two years binding in half calf with ends and corners 
and cloth sides has been tried as a matter of economy. 
Now the experiment of substituting canvas for leather is in 


ro) 
progress, and if successful the saving will be considerable. 


ANCIENT RECORDS. 


During the past year this department has issued the 
volumes mentioned in the last report, viz. : Hales’s Plans of 
Boston Street Lines, and the Mayors’ Inaugural Addresses. 
Both volumes have been favorably received by the public. 
I hope to issue.a second volume of the Addresses this year. 

Volumes 24 and 25 of the Record Commissioners’ Reports 
have been printed and distributed. The 26th Report will 
be issued by September, and the series of Town Records is 
approaching completion. ‘The loss of the stereotype plates 
of so many of the earlier volumes of the Reports, due to the 
accident in the City Hall basement, has prevented our issu- 
ing sets to numerous applicants. I am repairing these 
deficiencies, however, as rapidly as _ possible. 

The documents kindly sent here’ from the Overseers of 
the Poor have been mounted and bound in six volumes. 
The volumes of Apprentices’ Indentures in the last century 
have been indexed. 

The volume of Boston Marriages from 1700 to 1800 is 
being prepared for the press, and the record of Banns or 
Publishments will be collated therewith. 


The financial statement for the Record branch of this office, 
as kept in the accounts of the Superintendent of Printing, 
is as follows:

APPENDIX C. 


INTRODUCTION. 


For many reasons it seems desirable to collect in chronological 
arrangement, the laws relating to marriages and the registration 
thereof, from the date of the establishment of the Commonwealth. 

The history of the marriage laws prior to that date has been 
admirably set forth by Chief Justice Horace Gray of our Supreme 
Court, in the case of Commonwealth v. Munson, decided in Oct., 
1879, and reported in 127 Mass. Reports. 

With the consent of the Reporter of Decisions, the opinion is 
given in full. | 

Weeweta av Ne 


OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE CASE OF 
COMMONWEALTH v. MUNSON. 


Gray, C. J. In Massachusetts, from very early times, the requisites 
of a valid marriage have been regulated by statutes of the Colony, 
Provinee, and Commonwealth; the canon law was never adopted; and 
it was never received here as common law, that parties could by their 
own contract, without the presence of an officiating clergyman or mag- 
istrate, take each other as husband and wife, and so marry themselves. 
Milford v. Worcester, 7 Mass. 48, 538. 2 Dane Ab. 291, 301. 2 Win- 
throp’s Hist. New England, 43. This clearly appears on tracing the 
history of the legislation upon the subject ; the whole of which, whether 
repealed or unrepealed, is by a familiar rule to be considered in ascer- 
taining the intention of the Legislature. Church v. Crocker, 3 Mass. 
17, 21. Eaton v. Green, 22 Pick. 526, 551. Commonwealth v. Bailey, 
13 Allen, 541, 545. 

As early as 1639, it was ‘‘ ordered and declared” by the General 
Court, ‘‘ that there be records kept of the days of every marriage, birth 
and death of every person within this jurisdiction.” 1 Mass. Col. Ree. 
276. Ane. Chart. 43. In 1642, it was enacted that ‘+ the magistrates and 
other persons appointed to marry shall yearly deliver to the recorder of 
that court which is nearest to the place of their habitation the names 
of such persons as they have married, with the days, months and years 
of the same; and the said recorders are faithfully and carefully to enrol 
such marriages as shall thus be committed to their trust;” and in 1644, 


14 City DocumMENT No. 31. 


every new-married man was required ‘‘ to bring in a certificate of his 
marriage, under the hand of that magistrate which married him, to the 
clerk of the writs,” to be recorded. 2 Mass. Col. Rec. 15, 59. Mass. 
Col. Laws (ed. 1660) 68; (ed. 1672) 130. Ane. Chart. 181. 

The requisite of solemnization before a magistrate or other authorized ° 
person, as essential to constitute a valid marriage, which had been 
clearly implied in these statutes, was distinctly expressed in the follow- 
ing statute of 1646: ‘*As the ordinance of marriage is honorable 
amongst all, so should it be accordingly solemnized. It is therefore 
ordered by this Court and authority thereof, that no person whatsoever 
in this jurisdiction shall join any persons together in marriage, but the 
magistrate, or such other as the General Court or Court of Assistants 
shall authorize in such place where no magistrate is near. Nor shall 
any join themselves in marriage, but before some magistrate or person 
authorized as aforesaid. Nor shall any magistrate, or other person 
authorized as aforesaid, join any persons together in marriage, or suffer 
them to join together in marriage in their presence, before the parties 
to be married have been published according to law.” Mass. Col. 
Laws (ed. 1660) 52; (ed. 1672) 102. Anc. Chart. 152. 

In 1656 and 1658, the ‘* commissioners for ending small causes in the 
several towns where no magistrate dwells” were ‘‘ authorized and em- 
powered to solemnize marriage between parties legally published; ” 
‘and all other commissions in this case are hereby made void.” 4 
Mass. Col. Rec. pt. i. 255, 322. Anc. Chart. 152. The provision of the 
St. of 1646, prohibiting persons to join themselves in marriage, except 
before a magistrate or other authorized person, continued in force 
throughout the period of the colony charter. 

By the Prov. St. of 1692-3 (4 W. & M.) c. 25, ‘‘ every justice of the 
peace within the county where he resides, and every settled minister in 
any town, shall and are hereby respectively empowered and authorized 
to solemnize marriages, within their respective towns and counties, be- 
twixt persons that may lawfully enter into such a relation, having the 
consent of those whose immediate care and government they are under, 
and being likewise first published” as therein directed; and ‘“ every 
justice and minister shall keep a particular register of all marriages 
solemnized before any of them, and make a return thereof ” quarterly to 
the clerk of the sessions of the peace of the county, to be by him regis- 
tered. 1 Proy. Laws (State ed.) 61. Ane. Chart. 242. 

By the Prov. St. of 1695-6 (7 W. III.) c. 2, § 4, ‘‘ for the better pre- 
venting of clandestine marriages,” it is enacted that ‘‘no person other 
than a justice of the peace, and that within his own county only, or 
ordained ininister, and that only in the town where he is settled in the 
work of the ministry, shall or may presume to join any persons together 
in marriage ; nor shall any justice or minister join any person in mar- 
riage other than such one or both of whom are inhabitants or residents 
in such county or town respectively ;” with more specifie provisions as 
to publication of banns and consent of parents and guardians, and a 
further provision that any justice, minister or other person offending 


REGISTRY DEPARTMENT. 15 


against this act shall suffer a penalty, and be ‘‘ forever after disabled to 
join persons in marriage,” and be also liable to an action by the parent 
or guardian. 1 Prov. Laws, 209, 210. Anc. Chart. 283. 

By the Prov. St. of 1716-17 (8 Geo. I.) c. 16, after reciting in the 
preamble the principal passage above quoted from the act of 1695-6, it 
is enacted that ‘‘ the power granted ministers to join persons together in 
marriage be hereby enlarged, so as that where there shall be no settled 
ordained minister in any town or precinct, or where the only settled 
ordained minister of any town or precinct is himself to be married, it 
shall and may be lawful in such cases for the next settled ordained 
minister in another town within the same county to join in marriage 
the minister, or inhabitants of such town or precinct destitute of such 
settled ordained minister, if such minister or inhabitants desire it, ac- 
cording to the rules prescribed by the laws of this Province for the con- 
summating marriages;” and penalties are imposed on ministers and 
clerks neglecting to return or record marriages. 2 Prov. Laws, 60. 
Anc. Chart. 416. 

So by an act of 1773 (18 Geo. III.) the authority of each minister of 
the Church of England within the Province to join persons in marriage, 
(which had previously been limited to persons belonging to the town in 
which the minister himself dwelt,) was not only extended to include 
persons usually worshipping with him and whose ministerial taxes he 
had a right by law to receive, although not belonging to the same town ; 
but it was enacted that ‘‘ where any minister of the Church of England 
is himself to be married, or where such minister shall be removed by 
death or otherwise, so that the religious society of Christians in which 
he presided shall be destitute of a minister, it shall be lawful in such 
vases for the next minister within the Province of the same denomination 
to join in marriage the minister, or any of the people constituting such ° 
religious society who may lawfully enter into such a relation.” Mass. 
Perpetual Laws (Supplts. to ed. 1759) 632. Anc. Chart. 679. 

These statutes plainly signify that by the law of the Province even a 
minister, authorized to solemnize marriages between other persons, 
could not marry himself. 

The only other statutes of the Province which have come to our notice 
are one of 1727 (1 Geo. II.) providing for the publication of banns of 
persons residing in places where there was no town clerk, and one of 
1763 (3 Geo. IIL.) concerning the powers of ministers whose parishes 
were made out of two or more adjacent towns. 2 Prov. Laws, 464. 
Mass. Perpetual Laws (Supplts. to ed. 1759) 444. Anc. Chart. 462, 
655. 

The Province laws on this subject remained in force until after our 
Revolution ; and it was before they had been changed by any statute of 
the Commonwealth that the marriage took place, the validity of which 
was brought in question in the leading case of Milford v. Worcester, 7 
Mass. 48. In that case it appeared that in 1784 a man and a woman 
went together into a room where a justice of the peace happened to be, 
and in his presence, and before other witnesses, after producing a cer- 


16 | City DocumEnT No. 31. 


tificate that their intentions of marriage had been published the man 
declared that he took the woman as his: lawful wife, and she declared 
that she took him as her lawful husband, and each made to the other 
the vows and promises usual in contracting marriages ; but upon the 
question whether this proceeding was directed and encouraged by the 
justice the evidence was conflicting. It was ruled by Mr. Justice (after- 
wards Chief Justice) Sewall at the trial, and held by the full court 
in an elaborate judgment delivered by Chief Justice Parsons, that, if 
the proceeding had not the sanction of the justice as a magistrate, the 
marriage was void, and neither the woman nor her children took the 
settlement of the man. The position that the marriage, though not 
solemnized pursuant to the statutes, was yet a lawful marriage, had 
between parties competent to contract marriage, and not declared void 
by any statute, was fully argued and considered; and the court, while 
admitting the strength of. that position in States the laws of which had 
prescribed no regulations for the celebration of marriages, was clearly 
of opinion that the provisions of our statutes, by necessary implication, 
prohibited persons from solemnizing their own matriages by any form 
of mutual engagement, or in the presence of any witnesses whatever. 

The St. of 1786, c. 3, manifested no intention to change the law in 
this respect. While it expressly repealed all former laws relating to 
the solemnization of marriages, it substantially reenacted many of their 
provisions. It empowered justices of the peace within their counties, 
and stated and ordained ministers within their towns or parishes, to 
solemnize marriages; provided that, when any such minister was him- 
self to be married, it should be lawful for any other such minister 
within the same county to marry him; required ‘all persons desiring 
to be joined in marriage” to have their intention published, and to 
‘¢ produce to the justice or minister who shall be desired to marry 
them” a certificate of such publishment; obliged justices and ministers 
to keep records and make returns of the marriages solemnized by them ; 
and made persons illegally solemnizing marriages, or neglecting to 
make returns, subject to penalties, and to be thereafter disqualified from 
joining persons in marriage. 

It also contained a new provision declaring marriages which had 
been or should be had and solemnized among Quakers or Friends, 
in the manner and form used and practised in their societies, to be good 
and valid in law, and requiring the clerk or keeper of the records of 
the meeting at which such marriages should be had and solemnized to 
make returns thereof. St. 1786, ¢.3,§ 7. This section, Chief Justice 
Parsons tells us, was enacted in consequence of the general opinion of 
lawyers that such marriages were void before. Milford v. Worcester, 
7 Mass. 46. 

The St. of 1786 (after being amended in some unimportant particulars 
by the Sts. of 1795, ¢. 7, 1817. ec. 61, 141, and 1820, ec. 55) was repealed 
by the St. of 1834, ce. 177, which contained similar provisions, but 
allowed resident ministers to solemnize marriages throughout the 
Commonwealth, and therefore omitted as unnecessary the specific pro- 


Reaistry DEPARTMENT. 17 


vision of former statutes as to the marriage of ministers, and also de- 
clared — thereby clearly implying that some solemnization beyond the 
mere contract of the parties was considered essential — that ‘* all mar- 
riages, between persons who might lawfully enter into that relation, 
heretofore solemnized by any justice or minister, be and they hereby 
are confirmed and made valid in law, although such justice or minister 
may have exceeded his authority or jurisdiction.” 

In the Rev. Sts. c. 75, the provisions of the previous statutes are sub- 
stantially reénacted, and the following section [§ 24] is added: ‘* No _ 
marriage, solemnized before any person professing to be a justice of » 
the peace, or a minister of the gospel, shall be deemed or adjudged to be 
void, nor shall the validity thereof be in any way affected, on account 
of any want of jurisdiction or authority in such supposed justice or 
minister, or on account of any omission or informality in the manner of 
entering the intention of marriage, or in the publication of the banns; 
provided, that the marriage be in other respects lawful, and be con- 
summated with a full belief, on the part of the persons so married, or 
of either of them, that they have been lawfully joined in marriage.” 
Rev. Sts. c. 75, § 24. 

The object of this section, as declared in the Report of the Commis- 
sioners who framed it, was to adopt the principle stated in Milford v. 
Worcester, that a marriage would be lawful, if solemnized before a 
justice or minister, although without publication of the banns and 
without the consent of parents or guardians ; and to extend that principle 
so as to prevent marriages from being invalidated on account of some 
defect, not known or suspected by either party, in the ordination of the 
minister or the commission of the justice in whose presence the marriage 
ceremony was performed. That the Commissioners understood the 
presence of some person, being or believed to be a magistrate or min- 
ister, to be necessary to the validity of every marriage of persons other 
than Quakers in this Commonwealth, clearly appears by their conclud- 
ing sentence: ‘‘ The essence of the contract is the assent of the parties ; 
and if this assent is formally and solemnly given in the presence of one 
who is acting as a justice or minister, and who is honestly believed to be 
qualified as such, it furnishes all the security against fraud and surprise, 
which the law was designed to provide for.” 

The existing laws upon the subject are mostly contained in the Gen. 
Sts. c. 106; and the only modification since the Rev. Sts. that is worthy 
of notice is that by which, where the fact of marriage is required to be 
proved before any court, evidence of the admission of that fact by the 
defendant, or of general repute, or of cohabitation as married persons, 
or any other circumstantial or presumptive evidence, is made compe- 
tent. Sts. 1840, c. 84; 1841, c. 20. Gen. Sts. c. 106, § 22. Evidence 
of the kind here mentioned is simply made competent, not controlling 
when the whole truth appears. 

Under all changes in the form of the statutes it has always been as- 
sumed in this Commonwealth, and in the State of Maine, which was 
originally a part thereof, that (except in the single case of Quakers, or 


18 Ciry Document No. 31. 


Friends, whose marriages are made valid by a special provision limited 
to that sect, and, though not solemnized by any magistrate or minister, 
are witnessed, recorded, and returned by the principal officer of the 
meeting at which the ceremony is performed) a marriage which is 
shown not to have been solemnized before any third person, acting or 
believed by either of the parties to be acting as a magistrate or min- 
‘ister, is not lawful or valid for any purpose. Medway v. Needham, 16 
Mass. 157, 159. Commonwealth v. Spooner, 1 Pick. 235. Meyers v. 
Pope, 110 Mass. 314, 316. Thompson v. Thompson, 114 Mass. 566, 
567. St. 1879, c. 116. Brunswick v. Litchfield, 2 Greenl. 28. Ligonia 
v. Buxton, 2 Greenl. 102. State v. Hodgskins, 19 Maine, 155. State 
v. Bowe, 61 Maine, 171, 177. See also Dunbarton v. Franklin, 19 
N.H. 257, 266; Northfield v. Plymouth, 20 Vt. 582, 591; Goshen v. 
Stonington, 4 Conn. 209, 219; Bashaw v. State, 1 Yerger, 177; Denni- 
son v. Dennison, 35 Md. 361. 

It is proper, however, to notice more particularly the Massachusetts 
cases, on which the defendant's counsel relied. 

The case decided by the Superior Court of Judicature of the Province 
in 1758, and cited in Quincy’s Reports, 29, note, appears by the 
record there referred to, to have been as follows: Flora, a negro 
woman, was indicted on the Prov. St. of 1696 (8 W. III.,) ec. 11, ‘* to 
prevent the destroying and murdering of bastard children,” which 
had this preamble: ‘‘ Whereas many lewd women that have been de- 
livered of bastard children, to avoid their shame and escape punish- 
ment, do secretly bury or conceal the death of their children, and after, 
if the child be found dead, the said women do allege that the said child 
was born dead, whereas it falleth out sometimes (though hardly it is to 
be proved) that the said child or children were murdered by the said 
women their lewd mothers, or by their assent or procurement,” and 
which therefore enacted that any woman who should be delivered of a 
child ‘‘ which, if it were born alive, should by law be a bastard,” and 
endeavor to conceal the death thereof, whether it were born alive or 
not, should suffer death as in case of murder, unless she could prove 
that the child was born dead. 1 Prov. Laws, 255. Anc. Chart. 293. 
The indictment alleged, in the usual form of an indictment for murder, 
that the defendant threw her child alive into a vault and immerged it in 
the water and excrements therein, and thereby drowned and suffocated 
it. The jury, by special verdict, found ‘‘ that the said Flora is and 
from her nativity has been a negro slave; that she was never married 
according to any of the forms prescribed by the laws of this land, but 
that the person supposed to be the father of the said child was also a 
slave, and had kept her company with her master’s consent for above a 
year and a half before that she was delivered alone of the female child 
mentioned in the indictment, and thrust the same child into the vault 
and under the excrements and water, and that the same child was taken 
out dead therefrom, and that, by means of her so immerging the said 
child and concealing the death thereof, it cannot be known whether the 
said child was born dead or alive;” and the jury found the defendant 


ReaistrRy DEPARTMENT. 19 


guilty or not guilty, according to the opinion of the court upon the 
question whether ‘* the said female child, had it been born alive, would 
have been a bastard, within the meaning and design of” the statute on 
which the indictment was founded. ‘ After mature advisement upon 
the said verdict, the court are of opinion that the said Flora is not 
guilty.” Flora’s case, Rec. 1758, fol. 295. We have no report of the 
grounds of that opinion; but it may well be that the court thought that 
so highly penal a statute, changing the ordinary rule as to burden of 
proof in criminal cases, should be strictly construed, and that the case 
was not within the evil which it was intended to prevent, as expressed 
in the preamble. 

In Parton v. Hervey, 1 Gray, 119, it was decided, 1st, that the age of 
consent in this Commonwealth, as by the common law of England, was 
fourteen in males and twelve in females; and 2d, that the Prov. St. of 
1695-6 (7 W. III.) c. 2, the Sts. of 1786, c. 3, and 1834, c. 177, and the 
Rey. Sts. ec. 75, §§ 15, 19, prohibiting justices and ministers, under a 
penalty, from solemnizing marriages of males under twenty-one or of 
females under eighteen, without the consent of their parents or guar- 
dians, did not make void the marriage of a girl thirteen years old, 
solemnized by a justice or minister without such consent. ‘The decision 
on the first point finds additional and conclusive support in the Prov. 
St. of 1694-5 (6 W. & M.), c. 5, § 5, which defined the age of consent 
to be in ‘‘ the man fourteen years of age, the woman twelve.” 1 Prov. 
Laws, 172. Ane. Chart. 278. 2 Dane Ab. 301. The decision on the 
second point was in exact accordance with the statement of Chief 
Justice Parsons in Milford wv. Worcester, referred toin the Commis- 
sioners’ Report on the Revised Statutes, as already mentioned, that 
‘‘when a justice or minister shall solemnize a marriage between parties 
who may lawfully marry, although without publication of the banns 
of marriage, and without the consent of the parents or guardians, such 
marriage would unquestionably be lawful, although the officer would 
incur the penalty of tifty pounds for a breach of his duty.” 7 Mass. 54, 
50. The general statement of Mr. Justice Bigelow in the course of his 
discussion of this point — that, ‘‘in the absence of any provision declar- 
ing marriages, not celebrated in the prescribed manner, or between 
parties of certain ages, absolutely void, it is held that all marriages, 
regularly made according. to the common law, are valid and binding, 
although hadin violation of the specific regulations imposed by statute” 
— evidently had regard to the effect of specific regulations as to the 
publication of banns or the consent of parents, and not to the broader 
question, which was not before him, whether any presence of a third 
person was necessary. If the learned judge had intended to cast any 
doubt on the adjudication of that question in Milford v. Worcester, he 
would hardly have referred, as he did, to that case as supporting his 
statement. 1 Gray, 122. 

In Meyers v. Pope, 110 Mass. 314, there was evidence that the parties 
went before a person whom they supposed to be a justice of the peace 
of the county, with the intent on the part of both to contract marriage 


20 Ciry Document No. 31. 

before him; that in his presence and hearing the man said that the 
woman Was his wife; and that they afterwards cohabitated together, be- 
lieving themselves to have been then and thereby lawfully married. The 
extent of the decision, as stated by Chief Justice Chapman, was that 
the provision of the Rev. Sts. c. 75, § 24, and the Gen. Sts. c. 106, § 20, 
already quoted, (by which the law as declared in Milford v. Worcester, 
has been so far modified as to make a marriage before a justice or min- 
ister, believed by either of the parties to be authorized, as valid as if he 
were in fact authorized to solemnize the marriage,) should by a liberal 
construction be held to include a case ‘‘where the parties go before a 
magistrate or minister, make a marriage contract in some form in his @ 
presence, in the belief that he sanctions and assents to it in his official 
capacity, and cohabit as husband and wife afterwards, believing that 
they are legally married, though the magistrate understands the matter 
differently, and does not intend to act officially in the matter.” 110 
Mass. 316, 

The presence of a person officiating, or at least believed to be offi- 
ciating, as a justice or minister being (except in the case of Quakers) 
clearly required, according to a long course of legislative action and of 
judicial opinion, to constitute a valid marriage in this Commonwealth, 
it would be superfluous to examine the English decisions, or the cases 
cited at the argument showing that a different rule prevails in some 
other parts of the Union. Whether it is wise and expedient so ta 
change the law of Massachusetts as to allow an act, which so deeply 
affects the relations and rights of the contracting parties and their 
offspring, to become binding in law by the mere private contract of the 
parties, without going before any one as a magistrate or minister, is a 
matter for legislative, and not for judicial consideration. 

In the case before us, it appearing from the undisputed facts that, in 
the ceremony performed by the defendant and the woman with whom 
he has since cohabited, no third person participated or was understood 
or expected to participate in any way, and no civil magistrate or min- 
ister of the gospel, nor any person believed to be such, was present, 
and neither party wasa Friend, or Quaker, it was rightly ruled in the 
Superior Court that no lawful or valid marriage between the parties 
had taken place. 

But it does not follow that the conviction was warranted by the evi- 
dence before the jury. Milford v. Worcester, 7 Mass. 57. Sedgwick, 
J., in Mangue v. Mangue, 1 Mass. 240, 242. To support an indictment 
against a man for adultery, it is sufficient to prove sexual connection 
between him and the wife of another man. Commonwealth vw. Elwells, 
2 Met. 190. To support an indictment for bigamy or polygamy, it is 
suflicient to prove that the defendant, being at the time lawfully mar- 
ried to one person, has married another. Commonwealth v. Mash, 
7 Met. 472. Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145. But to support 
this indictment on the Gen. Sts. c. 165, § 6, it is necessary to prove not 
only that a man and a woman, ‘‘not being married to each other,” 
‘‘cohabited together,” but that they so cohabited ‘‘lewdly and lascivi- 


REGISTRY DEPARTMENT. 21 


ously,” — implying an evil intent, which cannot be inferred from the 
mere fact (such as was proved at the trial) of cohabitation under an 
honest, though mistaken, belief that the parties were lawfully married 
to each other. Commonwealth v. Hunt, 4 Cush. 49. If there were 
evidence that the cohabitation was under such circumstances as to create 
a common scandal, or tend to corrupt the public morals, the case might 
be different. See Commonwealth v. Calef, 10 Mass. 153; Grisham v. 
State, 2 Yerger, 589; State v. Moore, 1 Swan, 136. 
Verdict set aside.

board of health or its duly appointed agent, or, if there is no board of 
health in such city or town, from the city or town clerk. No such 
permit shall be issued unfil there has been delivered to such board,

ment containing the facts required by this chapter to be returned 
and recorded, together with the certificate of the attending physician, 
if any, as required by section three of this chapter, or in lieu thereof 
a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician,

chairman of the board of health or any physician employed by a city 
or town for the purpose shall, upon request of said board, agent, or 
clerk, make such certificate as is required of the attending physician ; 
and in case of death by violence the medical examiner shall, if re- 
quested, make the same. When such satisfactory statement and certifi- 
cateare delivered to the board of health or to its agent, the board or agent 
shall forthwith countersign and transmit the same to the clerk or registrar 
for registration. The person to whom the permit is so given shall there- 
after furnish for registration any other information as to the deceased 
or to the manner and cause of the death, as the clerk or registrar may 
require. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section

Section 1 of Chapter 123 of the Acts of 1876 provides that 
“the sealer of weights and measures shall annually give pub- 
lic notice, by advertisement, or by posting notices in one or 
more public places, to all inhabitants or persons having a 
usual place of business therein who use scales, weights, or 
measures, for the purpose of selling any goods, wares, 
merchandise, or other commodities, or for public weighing, 
to bring in their scales, weights, and measures to be adjusted 
and sealed.” 

The same section also provides that “in those cities and 
towns where a salary is paid to the sealer of weights and 
measures no fees shall be charged for such services.’ 

In compliance with the provisions of the foregoing section, © 
it is customary for the Sealer to notify annually, in May, all 
such persons as are referred to by the statutes, by publish- 
ing the required notice in the daily papers, to bring to this 
office their scales, weights, and measures, to be tested and 
sealed. 

Section 2 of Chapter 123 of the Acts of 1876, amended by 
Section 2 of Chapter 151 of the Acts of 1877, provides that 
“at any time after said notice the said sealer of weights and 
measures shall go to the houses, stores, and shops of persons 
mentioned in the foregoing section, who have neglected to 
comply with the notice given thereunder, and having entered 
the same, with the assent of the occupants, shall adjust and 
seal their scales, weights, and measures, and shall be entitled 
to receive for said service the compensation set forth in Chap- 
ter 51, Section 14, of the General Statutes.” 

The customary notice having been published, after a rea- 
sonable time the deputy sealers were instructed to visit the 


SEALING OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 3 


places where scales, weights, and measures were in use; and, 
having informed the owners thereof that it was optional with 
them whether their scales, etc., should be tested at this office 
or at their place of business, and in the former case no charge 
would be made for such services, proceeded thereafter, with 
their consent, to test and seal the sume. 

The schedule of fees for work done outside the office is as 
follows:

charges, and send their scales, etc., to this office, and in 
this way the following work has been done, which is included 
in the “ operation of the department,” and for which no fees 
are allowed. 

The amount of work done in the office from February 1, 
1894, to February 1, 1895, was as follows:

SEALING OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 9 


During the present year great care has been given to the 
adjusting and condemning of improper scales, weights, and 
measures, as an examination of the year’s work shows that 
of the weights tested at the office of this department there 
were 57,, per cent. adjusted ; of the weights tested on the 
outside work there were 12%, per cent. adjusted ; of the 
total amount of weights tested. during the year there were 
21,°, per cent. adjusted ; of the number of scales tested at 
the office of this department there were 14,8, per cent. ad- 
justed ; of the number of scales tested on the outside work 
there were 14-4, per cent. adjusted; of the total number of 
scales tested by this department there were 14;§ per cent. 
adjusted ; of the number of scales tested at the Office of this 
department there were 7,% tagged for repair and use for- 
bidden ; of the number of Ben fom tested on the outside work 
there were 5;% percent. tagged for repairs and use forbidden ; 
of the total number of scales tested by this department dur- 
ing the year there were 6,4, per cent. tagged for repairs and 
use forbidden; and of the total number of dry measures 
tested there were 662, per cent. condemned as unfit for 
use. 

These condemned measures consisted principally in im- 
proper measures taken from street peddlers, mainly non- 
residents, and of undersized boxes purporting to hold a 
bushel of potatoes that were sent to this city to’ be used 
as bushel measures for the sale of produce in this city. 

During the year several of the perpetrators of the above 
violations of the laws pertaining to scales, weights, and 
measures have been successfully prosecuted by this depart- 
ment. 

An examination of the districts of the city shows that the 
percentage of adjusting and condemning of scales, weights, 
and measures is greater in the districts occupied by the 
poorer class of our population. 

During the present year several disputes have arisen he- 
tween the coal miners agents and the trade regarding deliy- 
eries of coal at tide water, in some instances shortages as high 
as seventy tons being claimed. All such claims as were re- 
ferred tv this department, I am pleased to say, were in every 
instance adjusted to the satisfaction of both the seller and 
purchaser, thus saving reputable citizens unnecessary ex- 
pense. 

Respectfully submitted, 
Micuaet D. Cottiys, 


Sealer of Weights and Measures.

REPORT OF EXAMINER. 
: Boston, March 26, 1895. 


To the Board of Commissioners for the Sinking-Funds, 
City of Boston: 

GENTLEMEN: I have, by appointment to that end by you, 
made the annual examination of the books of the Treasurer 
of the Sinking-Fund Commissioners for the city of Boston, 
for the year ending with the 3lst of January last (1895), 
and beg leave to report or render to you my certificate : 

I have examined thoroughly every entry for the year; all 
footings, postings, balances, ledger accounts; in fact, every 
detail of all work done, revising critically every figure and 
every transaction, and following all into, through, and to 
the end of the report of Treasurer Turner to you; and I 
find everything strictly accurate, and in perfect form, and 
that the books have been kept, not only correctly, but with 
commendable neatness and style. As to the cash on hand 
belonging to the different funds, viz., $1,496,553.72, that 
has been verified by personal application to each bank in 
which deposits rested at the close of business on said 31st 
January. I attach a list of said deposits.

As to the invested funds of the Commissioners, I do not 
reproduce here a list of them, as I have been accustomed to 
do in past years. These would be the very same as spread 
out in your treasurer’s report, which I have already certified 
to as entirely correct. Such reproduction, I should say, 
would be quite superfluous and useless. 


Very respectfully yours, 
Ropneéy McLavuGuHuin, 
Huaminer.

ANNUAL REPORT 


OF. THE 


PTrREET DEPARTMENT, 


EOR ie ya Ayes 914.4 


Hon. Epwin U. Curtis, 
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 1894 is herewith respectfully 
submitted. 


ORGANIZATION. 


The work of the department during the past year has been 
carried on under the same organization that was effected 
when the consolidated department was created in 1891, the 
several divisions of the department being as follows: 


The Central Office. 

Bridge Division. 

Paving Division. 

Sewer Division. 

Sanitary Division. 
Street-Cleaning Division. 
Boston and Cambridge Bridges. 


Each of the above divisions, with the exception of the 
Central Office Division and the Boston and Cambridge 
Bridges, is in charge of a deputy superintendent. 


City Document No. 34. 


bo 


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. 

The work of street-watering, which devolves on_ the 
Street Department, is carried on under the supervision of 
the Paving Division, with a foreman of street-watering in 
charge. 

This service could be more efficiently rendered if it were 
undertaken as a separate division with a responsible deputy 
superintendent in charge. 

The principal features of the work of the year may be 
summarized as follows: 

Paving with new blocks and regulating about 30 streets 
in various districts, improving about 50,000 square yards of 
paved roadway surface, and repaving numerous other streets. 

Construction of Telford-macadam roadways on Common- 
wealth avenue, from Arlington street to Massachusetts 
avenue, and continuation of general construction on the 
same avenue, from the Crossroads to Brighton, amounting 
in all to about $375,000 worth of work. 

Setting 52,706 lin. feet of new edgestone, and laying 
19,615 square yards of new brick sidewalks. 

Incre easing our asphalt pavements by about 10,500 square 
yards. 

Rebuilding Chelsea-street bridge, including a new steel 
swing draw, ‘and repairing Charles-river bridge. 

Rebuilding bridge and draw over Fort Point channel in 
connection with the. separation of grade of Dover street and 
LHGMN Oyen clic coulLsube ce. 

Building 23 miles of sewers and building 226 catch-basins, 
repairing 445, and cleaning 6,913 others, removing there- 
from about 20,000 cubic yards of filthy material. 

Cleaning about 10,500 miles of streets, removing 95,478 
loads of dirt. 

Sprinkling about 330 miles of streets for nearly eight 
months. . | 

Collecting and removing 326,798 loads of house dirt and 
ashes. 

Collecting and removing 50,637 loads of house offal. 

Building, under the Board of Survey Act, twelve macadam 
streets, at an expenditure of $106,820, nine of which have 
been practically completed. 

A perusal of the financial tables that follow shows that 
the department has expended for maintenance the sum of 
$2,038,855.91, and that the total expenditures of the con- 
solidated department, including special appropriations, have 


» 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 3 


been $3,333,730.70. Of this amount, $490,800.14 was 
spent on laying out and constructing new streets under. 
chapter 323 of the Acts of 1891, as amended by chapter 418. 
of the Acts of 1892, known as the Board of Survey Act. 
Under this act, seven orders of laying out were passed near 
the close of the year to construct and complete which will 
involve an expenditure of nearly $2,000,000, while the land 
damages are estimated at $1,284,908.50 in addition. 

They are: . 

Blue Hill avenue, from Washington street to Mattapan. 

Huntington avenue, from Copley square to Brookline line. 

Harvard avenue, from Commonwealth avenue to the 
Brookline line. 

Turner street, from Haviland street to Astor street. 

Sherborn street, from Commonwealth .avenue to Charles 
river. 

Commonwealth-avenue extension, from Chestnut Hill 
avenue to the Newton line. 

Columbus avenue, from Northampton street to Walnut 
avenue at the Park. 

As the total amount of money available under this act for 
the coming year is only $1,921,357.41, of which $70,000 is 
required for the Board of Survey, $500,000 for sewers and 
streets begun, and $1,284,908.50 for land damages, it is 
evident that only $66,448.91 remains available for new con- 
struction. 

The laying out of Columbus avenue, together with the 
raising of the grade of the Providence Division of the N.Y., 
N.H., & H. R.R., now in progress, again force upon the 
city the question of the final disposition to be made of Stony 
brook. 


Srony Brook. 


Between Centre street and Ritchie street, the open chan- 
nel of Stony brook, 22 feet wide and 10 to 14 feet deep and 
600 feet long, is included within the lines of Columbus 
avenue, crossing the location of the avenue twice. The 
least that can be done here is to arch over this channel be- 
fore the avenue can be constructed, a work which will cause 
the expenditure of a large sum of money, and which will 
have to be destroyed within a few years to make way for 
the low-grade channel recommended by the Stony Brook 
Commission of 1886. 

A wiser course would be to build here a section of the 
Commissioners’ channel. Ata point 500 feet south of the , 
point where the brook channel leaves the avenue, near 
Ritchie street, the N.Y., N.H., & H. R.R., is now build-. 


/ 


4 Crry DocumEentT No. 34. 


ing a section of the Commissioners’ channel, extending to a 
point 500 feet south of Boylston street, a distance of 2,300 
feet, the engineers of the railroad, after consultation with 
the City Engineer and the Superintendent of Streets, hav- 
ing decided that this was the wisest course, when it had be- 
come evident that the raising of the grade of the Providence 
Division necessitated the filling in of the old channel. If 
the section of the Commissioners’ channel is built as recom- 
mended between Centre and Ritchie streets, we shall then 
have two sections of the low-grade channel, one 600 feet 
long, the other 2,300 feet long, ‘500. feet apart, each drained 
by sections of ane present channel, which is about 14 feet 
higher. ‘The low-grade channels will therefore be filled at 
all times nearly to the crown of the arch with water, form- 
ing settling basins for the sand and mud of the beaks which 
will speedily fill them up. 

The Commissioners’ channel is now complete from Charles 
river, or more exactly from the ponds in the Back Bay Fens, 
to the Inlet Chamber near Pynchon street. This will have 
to be extended in the near future to join the section of chan- 
nel between Centre and Ritchie streets, and this in its turn 
to join the section now being built by thew N.Y. AN VEL Sues 
Bleek alt, 

The Commissioners in 1886 recommended that in extend- 
ing the channel above the Inlet Chamber, the original course 
of the brook be followed; that is, alongside the railroad as 
far as Old Heath street. But the experience of the city in 
1880 may prove a valuable guide upon this point. The 
Superintendent of Sewers at that time, under whose direc- 
tion the improvement of 1880-84 was begun, found that the 
damages demanded for land and buildings were SO excessive 
that he was forced to build the channel in Pynchon street. 

The experience would doubtless be repeated now. But, 
in addition to this, unless the channel is built immediately 
the N.Y., N.H., & H. R.R. will have erected here a re- 
taining-wall about 19 feet high, carrying their four-track 
road; this will add so enormously to the difficulty and cost 
of excavating a trench 26 feet deep and 25 feet wide at its 
foot, that there cannot be any reasonable doubt that the 
city will be fOnpenani to build this channel in Columbus 
avenue. 

These Seema Pi seem to make it evident that the 
extension of the low-grade channel from the Inlet Chamber 
up to join the section now being built by the railroad should 
‘precede the construction of Columbus avenue; otherwise 
‘shortly after surfacing this fine avenue the city will find 
itself forced to destroy it by excavating in it the enormous 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 5 


a trench 26 to 28 feet 


trench required for this channel, 
wide and 28 to 32 feet deep. 

But any extension of the low-grade channel of Stony 
brook immediately calls ap for solution two other knotty 
problems, which are inextricably bound up in it: one is the 
question of the rights of the Boston Belting Company to the 
water of the brook; the other is the question of providing 
a low-grade sewer for those districts in West Roxbury which 
are too low to be sewered by extensions of the existing 
sewer system there. 

The Boston Belting Company use the water of the brook 
in their processes of rubber manufacture, and claim the right 
to it in virtue of an old mill-privilege. To extend the low- 
gerade channel beyond the Inlet Chamber will cut off the 
water entir ely from them unless some special device is 
adopted to cause the water to continue to flow down the old 
channel to their factory. Without attempting in this con- 
nection to discuss the relative rights of the Boston Belting 
Company and the city of Boston as to Stony brook, a dis- 
cussion which would involve complicated legal points, it may 
be stated that there are three courses open to the city, if it 
be considered imperative or expedient to continue to supply 
the Belting Company with the water of the brook, viz. : 

A. To erect a movable dam or large gate at the Inlet 
Chamber, damming up the water by means of it high enough 
to cause it to flow down the old channel in fair weather, 
and removing the dam during floods to allow an uninter- 
rupted flow through the low- “erade channel. This would 
require a damming up of 134 feet. 

L. To set up a pumping plant at the Inlet Chamber, and 
pump sufficient water up into the old channel to supply the 
factory. 

C. To transfer the Inlet Chamber or a similar structure 
to the farthest point up stream to which the low-grade 
channel extends uninterruptedly, utilizing the existing chan- 
nel to carry the Belting Company’s supply between the, Inlet 
Chamber and Centre street, and building an auxiliary channel 
from this point on, upon the haunch of the arch of Commis- 
sioners’ channel. 

If this latter scheme is adopted, arrangements should be 
made with the N.Y., N.H., & H. R.R. to build this auxiliary 
channel in connection with the section of the channel which 
they now have under construction, the city to pay the extra 
cost to the contractors. 

There is time enough to make such arrangements as no 
more masonry will be built until spring. 

The second problem mentioned above as connected with 


6 Ciry Document No. 34. 


the extension of the low-grade channel, viz., the building 
of a low-grade sewer for the Stony- brook valley, is simpler. 
There are about 500 acres of land in West Roxbury adjacent 
to the channel of the brook which is too low to be sewered 
by the existing system; some of it is being developed by 
new streets, and is being built upon. A sewer low enough 
to serve this territory can never be built half so cheaply as it 
can in connection with the building of this low-grade channel 
for the brook. 

From the head of the Stony-brook branch of the inter- 
cepting system, at the corner of Elmwood and Linden Park 
streets to the Roxbury crossing, there is an unused 7-foot 
brick channel. From this point. up to the Inlet Chamber the 
channel is only partially filled by the stream which is allowed 
to tlow to the Belting Company. A sewer could be built 
cheaply here. From the Inlet Chamber up, a sewer could be 
built in the open channel as well as it could be below the 
Inlet Chamber, and one of the two 7 x 10 foot brick chan- 
nels in Pynchon stteet would be available for it, even if the 
other were utilized for the auxiliary channel before men- 
tioned. Above Centre street this sewer would have to be 
carried upon the haunch of the low-grade channel, and the 
same arrangement made with the railroad company in re- 
gard to building it as previously discussed in regard to an 
auxiliary channel. 

These problems are so involved, each with the others, that 
this department and the city government should come to a 
decision in regard to them without delay, as the opportunity 
to build all that will be required in this narrow valley cheaply 
and without destroying previous costly work will never occur 
again. 

The interests involved are serious enough, and the 
economy which can be affected is great enough to warrant 
obtaining the necessary funds by means of a special long- 
time loan outside the debt limit, if no other means are 
available. 

The improvement of 1880-84 stopped at the Florence- 
street bridge, about a quarter of a mile north-easterly from 
Mount Hope station. 

Private parties interested in Hyde Park lands have, dur- 
ing the past year, carried this improvement on up to the 
Hyde Park line, under an agreement with the city, they to 
do the work to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and 
the city to pay them the sum of $6,000; culverts at street- 
crossings have been rebuilt or underpinned where good 
enough, and the channel excavated to the theoretical orade

of the improvement of 1880-84, and toa width, substantially, 
of 10 feet. 

Owing to the fact that this report covers a fiscal year, 
during which the department was in charge of another . 
’ Superintendent, except for a small proportion of the time, it 
does not seem expedient or proper for me to enter into fur- 
ther discussion of the details of the work rendered possible 
and accomplished through his acknowledged ability and 
energy. 

The report of the Executive Engineer, which follows, 
alludes in details to all the special features of the work of 
the year, and shows the force employed and the work under- 
taken, together with a valuable table of prices that obtained 
on a contract basis. Special attention might be called to 
the subjects of “Surface Drainage,” “ Street Cleaning,” and 
“Smoke Nuisance.” 

In addition to this report, five appendices are herewith 
submitted, in which will be found the reports of the several 
Deputy Superintendents, showing the expenditures of each 
division in detail. They are as follows: 


us A — Bridge Division. 
B— Paving Division. 


os C— Sanitary Division. 

: D — Sewer Division. 

os KE — Street-Cleaning Division. 

uf F¥ — Former Superintendents and Document 
Numbers. 


Respectfully submitted, 


B. T. WHEELER, 
Superintendent of Streets.

FEXEMPLOYMENT OF LABOR. 


During the year ending February 1, 1895, 24 applica- 
tions were made upon the Civil Service Commission for 28 
employees of various grades, and 45 names were sub- 
mitted by them, of which number 27 were given employ- 
ment in the several divisions. 

Of the 24 applications 3 were for promotions, two being 
allowed by the Civil Service Commission. 

The rule of the Civil Service classifying bridge engineers 
and assistants went into effect October 1, 1894, and upon 
October 29, 1894, the names, 1 ates of wages, etc., of the 
17 persons so employed in the Bridge Division were for- 
warded to the Civil Service Commissioners. During the 


year 21 persons were transferred to this department from 


other city departments, and notices of 94 discharges from 
the department rolls were sent to the Commission. 

The department records show that there are 2,434 persons 
eligible for employment in the various divisions, and of that 
number 2,100 were upon the pay-rolls ending January 24, 


.1895. 


The following table shows the classification of all em- 
ployees of the Street Department as at present organized :

STREET DEPARTMENT. 35 


BRIDGE DIVISION. 


The Northern District headquarters are located on War- 
ren bridge, and there is ample room in the building and 
pier which is occupied by them for such horses and teams. 
us are necessary for the work, and storage capacity enough 
for such tools, blocking, gearing, etc., as are demanded in 
carrying on the repairs. 

The territory covered by this district on general work 
embraces all the bridges under the charge of the Bridge 
Division from Winthrop to Watertown. 

The headquarters of the Southern District are located on 
Foundry street, and comprise an office of limited size, which 
is also used as a storehouse in lieu of something better, and 
yard room under the bridge. During the process of 
strengthening Broadway bridge, for its use by the electric 
cars, the stable and storehouse belonging to this district 
were entirely demolished. 

A part of a stable on Dorchester avenue was rented to 
tide over the intervening time during rebuilding, but action 
on permanent location was postponed from time to time be- 
cause of certain propositions of land exchanges between the 
Board of Street Commissioners and the Old Colony Rail- 
road officials. 

These are still in abeyance, and it is to be hoped that in 
the near future a definite understanding will be arrived at, 
as the Southern District badly needs a building and land 
where they can have proper accommodations for an office, 
stable, and storehouse. As they are situated at the pres- 
ent time, they have no facilities. 

The territory of this district reaches from the city proper 
to Milton, and covers all bridges south and east of the 
Charles river. | 

Both districts have telephone connections, and both forces 
can be concentrated quickly whenever it is necessary. 

The most important of the tide-water bridges under the 
care of the Bridge Division are twelve (12) in number. Of 
these, Chelsea North, Chelsea South, Churles river, War- 
ren, L street, Congress street, and Broadway are operated 
by steam-power. Two are equipped with electricity — 
Dover street, which has a General Electric motor, and 
Federal street, which has a Thompson-Houston motor. 

Malden and Mt. Washington avenue are worked by hand- 
power, and Meridian street by horse-power. 


36 City Document No. 384. 


During the rebuilding of Dover-street bridge, Broadway 
and Federal street were taxed to their uttermost, and re- 
quired constant attention. Warren-street bridge, in point 
of travel of all kinds, is the most important of all the tide- 
water bridges in Boston. 

The establishment of the Boston & Maine R.R. freight 
yards on the Charlestown side of the channel has augmented 
the traffic on this bridge greatly, and many times it has 
been called upon to do the work of both Charlestown 
bridges. Some idea can be gained when it is considered 
that during the closing of Charles-river bridge not less than 
ten thousand vehicles, not including car service, daily used 
that thoroughfare. All work done on this bridge, where 
travel is liable to be impeded, is performed on Sundays. 

Charles-river bridge has been overhauled and repaired 
during the year, and will relieve somewhat the immense 
strain on Warren bridge. A new bridge cannot be too 
quickly decided upon. Work is progressing rapidly on the 
new bridge from Chelsea to Charlestown. Chelsea-street 
bridge from East Boston to Chelsea is nearing completion, 
and will be opened for travel in a few weeks. 

Malden bridge is in poor condition. ‘Travel is increasing 
in that direction, and the draw is very narrow, and the draw- 
piers are old and entirely too short. New electric signals 
for Warren bridge have been erected at City square, Charles- 
town, to show when the draw is open. 


L-STREET BRIDGE. 


During the year the L-street bridge has been opened for 
travel at the urgent request of many people whose interests 
are in that direction. On account of the roadway on the 
Boston end of the bridge not being paved or graded, and 
being very uneven, and altogether in poor condition, and 
from the fact that the street was not lighted, it was deemed 
judicious to restrict the hours of accommodation for travel 
from sunrise to sunset. Under even these restrictions quite 
a traffic has developed because of the great saving of dis- 
tance to those who desire to reach the vicinity of the termi- 
nus of the bridge. Steps should be taken to put the street 
In proper condition for travel. 

A plank sidewalk has been constructed on the Boston side 
for the accommodation of foot-passengers. 


CONGRESS-STREET BRIDGE. 


This is a wooden pile bridge, built in 1874-5, with an 
iron turn-table draw on a masonry foundation. The under- 
flooring of the roadbed and sidewalks is in a very bad condi- 
tion, decaying fast, and steps should be taken in the near 


CuadQ meig) —"743NNYHO LNIOd LYOS Y3IAO 39G0ING 1L33YLS-YFAO

future for a removal of such parts of the structure.. The 
importance of this bridge to the public can best be realized, 
and the demands that are required for its safety and accessi- 
bility can best be estimated, from the fact that over one and 
a half million vehicles of every description and weight trav- 
erse it yearly. To inconvenience the public as little as pos- 
sible, all work required on this bridge that might interfere 
with travel is performed on Sunday. During the present 
year new steel boilers have been constructed and set in place 
of the original ones, which were badly used up from a twenty 
years’ service. 
DOVER-STREET BRIDGE. 


The new structure here has been completed, and is open 
for travel. The draw is equipped with electricity, fur- 
nished by a General Electric motor of twenty-five horse- 
power. This is the second of Boston’s bridges to be thus 
operated, and from a three years’ observation of its use 
on Federal-street bridge, under all conditions, we can con- 
fidently expect the same highly satisfactory results. 

The draw-tenders’ house has been repaired and painted, 
and has been moved to a proper location. The draw piers 
of this bridge are inadequate and not properly located. 
Steps should be taken to build and extend a pier on the 
south-easterly side of the draw sufficient to aid navigation in 
safely passing through. 


Mr. WASHINGTON-AVENUE BRIDGE. 

The draw piers of this bridge are in bad condition, and 
should be rebuilt. They are so low that at times they are 
totally submerged at high water, and consequently then are 
useless, and do not fulfil their mission. They should be 
raised as high as practicable. The rest of the bridge is in 
fair condition. The draw is of iron, and is the only one of 
importance in the city of Boston that still continues to be 
operated by hand-power. 


BroaDWAY BripGe. 

The draw pier of this bridge is badly decayed, and should 
be rebuilt without delay. Constant care is required to keep 
it from collapsing, and a decided improvement would be a 
continuation of the new pier on the south side to meet the 
northerly pier of Dover street. 

The bridge is in poor condition, and requires frequent in- 
spection and attention. The report of the Deputy Superin- 
tendent (Appendix A) gives a detailed statement of 
expenditures, and amount of work done on each bridge, 
together with much other information of a useful nature. 


38 Crty Document No. 34. 
CAMBRIDGE BRIDGE DIVISION. 


CRAIGIE’S BRIDGE. 


The sides of the waterway for the passage of vessels 
through the bridge have been planked with 3-inch spruce; a 
bulkhead near the draw has been rebuilt. A weak point 
near the Cambridge end of the bridge has been strengthened, 
fences have been repaired, the draw sheathed, sidewalks re- 
paired, and other ordinary repairs made by the aid of the 
men employed on the bridge. The flooring of the sidewalks 
near the Cambridge end, and the bulkhead, are in bad con- 
dition, and will be rebuilt next season. 


HARVARD BRIDGE. 


The entire surface plank of the bridge has been renewed 
without interruption to travel. The West End Street Rail- 
way Company replanked between the rails on both tracks for 
the entire length of the bridge. The draw-tender and his 
assistants keep the sidewalks free from snow, clean the 
globes on the electric lights, make all ordinary small re- 
pairs on the bridge, and assist in cleaning the roadway. 
Experience has shown that the roadway planking will have 
to be renewed as often as once a year. The asphalt side- 

walks on the bridge have not given satisfaction, and will be 
renewed for the entire length of the bridge next year by the 
contractors. They were ‘laid under a guarantee of main- 
tenance for five years, and are to be left in good condition 
at the end of that time. 


Prison—Point BRIDGE. 


The house occupied by the draw-tender has been painted 
inside and newly papered by the draw-tender. Only or- 
dinary repairs, such as planking and sheathing, have been 
made on the bridge. The draw is in bad condition and 
needs a thorough repairing. 

The question of abolishing the grade crossing on the Bos- 
ton & Maine Railroad, which adjoins this bridge, is under 
discussion. If this should be accomplished by carrying the 
highway over the railroad, it would involve the rebuilding 
of the bridge. For this reason, only such repairs have been 
made as were absolutely necessary for safety.

West Boston BRIDGE. 


The underplank of the draw has been partly renewed, 
part of the waterway on side of the pier has been replanked, 
spurshores and braces have been bolted and spiked to the 
piles to keep the bridge in line. The whole length of the 
bridge under the planking of the roadway has been ex- 
amined, and strengthened where necessary. The. bulk- 
head at the Boston end of the draw, which has been a source 
of trouble for some years, has been rebuilt. The work was 
done between 1 A.M. and 3 P.M., on Sunday, without in- 
terruption to travel. 

The ordinary repairs, such as sheathing the draw, repair- 
ing fences, renewing plank on piers, paving, etc., have been 
attended to. Much of this work has been done by the 
draw-tender and his assistants. 


In GENERAL. 


The usual statement is appended of the number of draw 
openings and the number of vessels which passed through ; 
also table showing the traffic over bridges on August 15. 

The amount of revenue received for dockage, rents, re- 
pairs to West End Street Railway tracks, etc., during the 
year, has been $1,195.62; one-half, $597.81, has been paid 
to the city of Cambridge.

edgestone reset, and the brick sidewalks relaid by Paving 
Division. The former pavement was cobble-stone. 

Massachusetts Avenue.—The southerly roadway, from 
Washington to Albany street, was to have been surfaced 
with Sicilian rock asphalt on a concrete base by H. Gore & 
Co., but only about 275 feet from Washington street was 
laid, when the weather became so unfavorable on account of 
the lateness of the season, that work had to be suspended. 
The excavating to sub-grade and removing of gutters was 
done by J. J. Sullivan. The concrete was put down by the 
Metropolitan Construction Co.; the edgestones reset and 
the brick sidewalk relaid by H. Gore & Co. A granolithic 
sidewalk in front of the City Hospital building was laid by

54 City Document No. 34. 


Simpson Bros. The centre parkway was extended about 130 
feet to within 16 feet of Albany street, and a driveway was 
built across it opposite the entrance to the Hospital.~ The 
uncompleted roadway between Washington street and Harri- 
son avenue was made passable by covering the concrete with 
crushed stone; the part between Harrison avenue and Albany 
street was closed to travel, and the concrete covered with 
seaweed to protect it from the frost. Nine new catch-basins 
were built between Harrison avenue and Albany street, — 
four on the northerly roadway and five on the southerly road- 
way, — and one was rebuilt at the corner of Albany Abe

politan Construction Company. The excavation to sub-grade 
was done by the Paving Division; the old gutter paving re- 
moved by J. Dolan; the edgestone reset by “J. Grant & Co. ; : 
a granolithic sidewalk was laid on the westerly side of the 
square, and on part of the easterly side, by Simpson Bros. ; 
and five new catch-basins were built. The former pavement 
was macadam. ‘The old planting space in the square, con- 
taining four trees, was removed, the edgestone in front of 
the Court House was laid out in a circular arc, very nearly 
concentric with the edgestone on the opposite side of the 
roadway, making a roadway about 36 feet wide; at the back 
of the sidewalk was placed a curb of special desien, between 
which and the building it is intended to make a grass plot. 

Ruth-Slreet. Extension. — This way or foot-path is in East 
Boston, and serves to connect Webster street and Marginal 
street, which are parallel streets, about 240 feet apart, but 
with a difference of level at this point of about 45 feet. |The 
extension is about 138 feet long and 114 feet wide. It con- 
sists of 7 flights of artificial stone steps connected by plat- 
forms of the same material. An additional flight of 13 steps 
connects Brigham street with Ruth street. The artificial 
stone work was done by Simpson Bros., at a cost of 
$2,122.93. The iron railing and fence work was furnished 
by G. T. McLauthlin & Co., and cost $554.97. The exca- 
vation, foundations, stone retaining-walls, and wooden fences 
were furnished by the Street Department. This is the first

example of the use of “artificial stone” on any considerable 
scale that the city has yet made. It is used here for walks, 
steps, and retaining-walls. It makes a fine-looking job, and 
thus far the experience has been satisfactory. 


Utica Street. — From Kneeland street to the angie was 
paved with large granite blocks on a gravel base, by the 


Paving Division. ~ About 350 square yards of the old cobble- 
stone were removed by J. Dolan, the rest by the Paving Di- 
vision. The edgestone, brick Petra ties and Senet 
were relaid by the Paving Division. One new catch-basin 
was built. The former pavement was cobble-stone. 

Washington Street. — From Essex to Eliot street was 
paved with large granite blocks on a concrete base with pitch 
joints, by H. Gore & Co. The old block paving was re- 
moved to Commonwealth avenue beyond Harvard avenue, 
by O. Doherty. The sub-grading was done by the Paving 
Division, and the edgestone reset, brick sidewalks and 
granite flagging crosswalks relaid, by H. Gore & Co 

The West End Street Railway, by agreement, paid for the 
work done between the rails, which work was done in a sim- 
ilar manner to the rest of the street. Two new catch-basins 
were built. The former pavement was old granite blocks. 


GRADING STREET—RAILWAY TRACKS. 


The work of properly grading street-railway tracks to fit 
a permanent surface of the street has been continued. This 
requires much labor, and it seems proper that the railway 
company should bear a portion of the cost of so doing. This 
has been arranged by requiring a survey of the street surface, 
with levels, to ths made by the railroad envineers in all cases 
where street construction work has not been ordered by the 
Street Department. The grades for the tracks are then 
established and blue-prints of the working plans are fur- 
nished the railroads. 

The following tracks have been graded : 


West Enp STREET Ratiuway.

COMMONWEALTH AVENUE. 


This avenue now extends under one name from the Pub- 
lic Garden to the Newton line, a total length of 5.59 miles, 
it having been extended from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir 
gate to the Newton line, where it connects with a new avenue 
bearing the same name, which, like the part in Boston, is 
only partially completed. This avenue extends through the 
heart of Newton, a farther distance of four miles. 

Commonwealth avenue in Boston varies in width from 120 
to 200 feet, and is laid out partly as a parkway, in the care 
of the Park Department, partly asa highway, with heavy 
teaming ruled off by order of the Board of Aldermen, and 
partly as an ordinary highway. It was formed of portions 
of streets formerly bearing different names, with widenings 
and extensions made at different times. The extension of 
the avenue from Beacon street has been under construction 
for the last eleven years, during which time about one 
million two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars has 
been expended upon it. A large amount of work has been 
done upon every part of it, excepting the most recent

extension, and a large amount yet remains to be done to 
complete the enterprise. 

The following is a short account of what has already been 
done, together with a statement of its present condition and 
an approximate estimate of the cost of completion : 

Beginning at the Public Garden in Boston, the first sec- 
tion, ‘extending to Beacon street, a distance of 1.44 miles, 
was taken by the Park Commissioners, under Chap. 300, 
Acts of 1893, as a parkway. This section is uniformly two 
hundred feet wide. The part of it between the Public Gar- 
den and Massachusetts avenue has two roadways and a 
central planting space. The northerly roadway is thirty-five 
feet wide between curbs; the southerly roadway is thirty-five 
feet between curbs; the central planting space is one hun- 
dred feet wide, with a gravel walk in the centre eighteen 
feet wide, and the sidewalks, each, fifteen feet wide. The 
roadways have been rebuilt this season in a thorough man- 
ner with Telford roads. The work was done by the Street 
Department for the Park Department. The excavation of 
the old surface was let in eight contracts. The stone for the 
Telford foundation was furnished by ten contractors and by 
the Street Department, and was set by four contractors. 
The old gutter blocks were removed by two contractors, and 
new ones were furnished by two contractors and from the 
city paving yards, and were set in place by four contractors. 
The edgestones were reset, where necessary, and the side- 
walks repaved i in part by two contractors. Broken stone for 
the macadam surface was furnished by two contractors, and 
from two city crushers. Steam-rollers were furnished from 
the Street and Park Departments and from contractors, the 
maximum number used was six. Gravel for gutter paving 
was furnished by the Street Department, and the broken 
stone was received and spread, and all miscellaneous work 
required to connect the various contracts was done, by the 
regular force of the Street Department. Platform scales 
were set up on the work, and all Telford and macadam ma- 
terials were received by weight. The broken trap rock was 
weighed on cars. 

Each roadway has two gutters, three feet in width. The 
Telford road has a base of Roxbury conglomerate eight anda 
half inches thick, thoroughly rolled, and a surface of broken 
stone four and a half inches thick after rolling. Between 
Arlington and Fairfield streets, the surface is trap rock from 
Salem and Waltham, furnished by the Massachusetts Broken 
Stone Company. From Fairfield to Gloucester street, on 
the northerly roadway, the surface is Roxbury conglomerate 
from Humboldt avenue, furnished by H. P. Nawn, and the 


, 


62 Crry DocumMENT No. 34. 


remaining blocks are surfaced with Roxbury conglomerate 
from the Tremont and Codman street ledges, mixed indis- 
criminately. No binding material, except stone screenings, 
was used, and on each section the screenings were of the 
same material as the broken stone. The intersections of 
cross streets were put in good order, and the street railways 
on Clarendon and Dartmouth streets were rebuilt with en- 
tirely new material, apg Clarendon street was paved with 
granite blocks. 

The total area of gutter paving was 7,446.7 sq. yds. The 
total weight of Telford base stone used was 11 ,806.64 tons, 
on 30,025.4 sq. yds., or 786.44 lbs. per sq. yd. The weight 
of trap rock macadam used was 7,467.36 tons, on 20,313 sq. 
yds., or 735.23 lbs. per sq. yd. The total weight of Rox- 
bury stone macadam used was 4,211.08 tons on 11,842 sq. 
yds., or 711.21 lbs. per sq. yd. The result in weight of 
stone indicates that a considerably thicker road was actually 
built than was intended. The surface was kept at grade, 
and whatever settlement was caused by the weight of the 
heavy rollers was made good by additional broken stone. 

The intersections of cross streets are built on a Telford 
base only in the continuation of the avenue roadways; the 
balance of the intersections were surfaced with broken stone 
and rolled. The quantity of broken stone used on them could 
not be exactly determined, and it was assumed that one- 
half the regular thickness was applied. The work was begun 
on July 30, 1894, and completed on November 20, 1894. 
The total cost of work on this section was $84,373.10, less 
$9,600 allowed for old materials removed; making the net 
cost $74,773.10. 

The remainder of this section is irregularly laid out, and 
is connected with the Back Bay Fens. 

The next section, from Beacon street to Cottage Farm 
bridge, is .79 mile in length and 160 feet in width; it is 
laid out in the following manner : Commencing on the south- 
erly line sidewalk, 10 feet ; planting space, 12 feet; roadway, 
35 feet; grass and electric railroad, 33 feet; roadway, 45 
feet; planting space, 10 fect; and sidewalk, 15 feet. The 
filling on this section by the Boston Contracting Company, 
and their successors, the Fidelity and Deposit Company, of 
Maryland, was completed on September 23,1893. The total 
quantity of material delivered was 57,675 cubic yards, at 
$0.41 per yard, amounting to $23,646.75. 

Telford stone was accumulated during the preceding win- 
ter, and the southerly roadway between Beacon street and 
Cottage Farm bridge was built during the year 1894 by the 
regular force of the Street Department. A fence and wooden 


w

STREET DEPARTMENT. 63 


sidewalk on the southerly side was built by the carpenters of 
the Bridge Division of the Street Department; the gutters 
were paved by contract. The roadway is a Telford road, 
with a face ten inches thick, and six inches of Roxbury stone 
macadam. The northerly roadway was built in 1893 in the 
same manner, except that the macadam is trap rock. This 
section is practically completed to within three hundred 
feet of Cottage Farm bridge. The sewers, gas and water 
pipes, are laid in the side planting spaces. 

The abutments of the bridge were built during the year. 
By arrangement with the Boston & Albany — Railroad 
these abutments are built partly in the railroad location, 
and the part of the bridge which was formerly maintained 
by the railroad will hereafter be maintained by the city. 
The central abutment and the bridge have not yet been 
built. 

Essex street connects with the widened avenue on the 
northerly side, so as to render considerable filling necessary 
to make even a temporary connection. The plan, as ar- 
ranged by the Board of Survey, contemplates ultimately 
clevating Essex street and crossing the Grand Junction 
Railroad by a bridge; but it will be necessary to make a 
temporary grade of ‘about 6 per cent. crossing the track at 
orade, in order to keep the street open until the Board of 
Survey plan is carried out. 

Westerly from the bridge to Brighton avenue the sec- 
tion is 160 feet in width and the distance is .69 mile. For 
about 1,000 feet westerly from the bridge, through the 
marsh, there has been an excessive settlement of filling with 
a large displacement of mud; only one temporary roadway 
has been built here. An unexpected settlement took place 
at this point, requiring some 16,000 cubic yards of surplus 
filling, for which the contractor was paid an extra sum of 
money. The filling on this section was completed on 
August 9, 1894, and while it is probable that settlement 
will continue for some years, it is probable that a fair street 
surface can be maintained. There are no sewers, gas, 
water, or surface drain pipes laid in the “ marsh section,” ex- 
cept the large main water and gas pipes. The remainder of 
the section to Brighton avenue has one roadway completed. 
This is a Telford road of Roxbury stone of the same thick- 
ness as those east of the bridge, and was built by the Street 
Department in 1894. The remaining roadway (on the 
southerly side) has been built to sub-grade of gravel, with 
the intention of finishing it with gravel as a soft road suita- 
ble for fast driving. 


64 Crry Document No. 34. 


The width, plan, and disposition of water, gas, and sewer 
pipes is the same as in the section east of the Cottage Farm 
bridge. A considerable amount of work on sidewalks, loam 
spaces, and fences remains to be done. 

The section between Brighton avenue and Warren strect 
is .88 mile long and 200 feet wide. It is laid out with 
three roadways, a saddle-path, three grass plots, and two 
sidewalks ; the width of each and their order, commencing on 
the southerly side, as follows: Sidewalk, 10 feet ; grass plot, 
10 feet; roadway, 26 feet; grass plot, 29 feet; central road- 
way, 90 feet ; saddle-path, 20 feet ; grass plot, 9 feet ; roadway, 
26 feet; grass plot, 10 feet; sidewalk, 10 feet. The cen- 
tral roadway has been built and has been in use for several 
years. Itwas necessary to. raise its grade for about 1,200 
feet in length to fit the new grade adopted; the amount of 
this change in grade is from 0 to 1 foot, in vertical height. 
The sub-grading is completed on a large part of this section, 
and the construction of the two side ronds has been com- 
menced. The side roads are to be of lighter construction 
than in the preceding section, the depth being for Telford 
base 8 inches, for macadam, 4 inches. The sewer and sur- 
face drain work on this section is substantially finished, and 
there are nearly enough paving-blocks on the ground for the 
gutters. These blocks came from the section of the 
avenue taken by the Park Commissioners, with the under- 
standing that $3,500 is to be paid for them when funds are 
available. 

The section between Warren street and Chestnut Hill 
avenue is 200 feet wide and 1.07 miles long. This is an 
uneven and rocky section, with two sidewalks, 7.5 feet wide, 
and a roadway 50 feet wide winding irregularly through the 
location; it was built some years since. On September 15, 
1884, in the Board of Aldermen, it was ‘* Ordered, That the 
Board adopt the plan and profile for constructing Massachu- 
setts avenue, in the Brighton District, as prepared by Henry 
M. Wightman, City Engineer, dated September 11, 1884, 
and deposited in the office of the said City Engineer, the 
said plan being a modification of a plan of said avenue 
designed by Frederick L. Olmsted. It being understood 
that the construction of said avenue shall be substantially in 
accordance with said plan. Passed.” 

The plan referred to bas disappeared, but a copy exists. 
The road built does not exactly follow the plan, and no de- 
sign has been adopted for the treatment of the remainder 
of the 200-feet location. A plan has recently been made 
which collects all the information concerning this section 
that is available, including the streets contemplated by 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 65 


the Board of Survey, and the grades considered or adopted 
by them, and on this has been sketched a plan for building 
a series of side roads, and rough estimates have been made 
of the cost of completing the roads in accordance therewith. 
There will remain large areas of uneven land with high 
ledges between these roads, which, from their bold character, 
and the fine views from their summits, may be ornamentally 
treated, if desired. It would seem desirable that Mr. Olm- 
sted should complete his design, and that this portion of 
the avenue should be built in accordance with it. 

The remaining section between Chestnut Hill avenue and 
the Newton line is .¢2 mile long, and has been laid out as 
an ordinary highway. The plan provides for two roadways, 
three grass plots, and two sidewalks, disposed of as follows: 
Beginning at the southerly side: sidewalk, 10 feet ; grass plot, 
5 feet; roadway, 40 feet; grass and electric road, 25 feet ; 
roadway, 25 feet; grass plot, 5 feet; sidewalk, 10 feet. 

The estimated cost of completing the avenue from Beacon 
street to the Newton line, as outlined above, and exclusive 
of the cost of sewers and surface drains, and including land 
damages, is $556,598, or about $400,000, excluding the 
extension recently made beyond Chestnut Hill avenue, and 
provided that material is transferred from section to section. 
The estimates by sections are appended :

Fifteen per cent. for engineering and contingencies has 
been added in each section. | 

This estimate contemplates charging the section between 
Warren street and Chestnut Hill avenue with $22,920 for 
earth filling to be received from the section between Chestnut. 
Hill avenue and the Newton line, and crediting the first- 
named section with $9,000 for rock to be used on the other 
sections. 

Plans have been made showing the different methods of 
construction at different sections of the avenue, and also a

SIDEWALK PLANS. 


A set of plans was made for the Street Department some

ments, gutters, sidewalks, street railways, and crossings, 


years ago. 


edgestones, all sewer and water pipes, and, in fact, all struct- 
ures as they exist upon or under the surface of the public 
streets. The custody of these plans was turned over to 
this department in 1892, and a certain amount of work has 
been done each year toward bringing them up to date. The 
amount of work which the available force of the office can 
do each year is so small that most of the plans are hopelessly 
behind. They had not been recently corrected when they 
were turned over to us, and they are further behind now than 
they were then. Imperfect as they are, they are constantly 
consulted, and they can never perhaps be made absolutely 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 67 


correct, as many streets in the older parts of the city con- 
tain structures of which there is no record. Under the 
present regulations it is possible to oblige all parties or cor- 
porations, having authority to use the public streets, to file 
plans of their structures, and it is a work of compilation to 
gather all the information into one plan of record. Until re- 
cently, it was necessary to gather most of this information 
from the street itself. 

Unless means are provided by which more work can be 
done than is possible to do under the present conditions, the 
usefulness of these plans will diminish rapidly, and it will 
soon become a waste of effort to do anything upon them. 
An inspection of these plans has recently been made, and 
the following summary of their number and condition 1s 
given: . 
City Proper. 

Of this division of the city there are 50 sectional plans, 
on a scale of 50 feet to an inch. ‘The plans are nearly worn 
out, and as nothing has been done on them for many years, 
they are incomplete, and are incorrect in many particulars. 
These plans are used constantly. New plans should be made 
on a scale of 30 feet to an inch, similar to the Roxbury and 


Dorchester sectional plans. This would increase the number 
of plans from 50 to about 150. 


Charlestown. 


Of this division of the city there’ are 30 sectional plans, 
upon a scale of 30 feet to an inch. ‘The set is incomplete, 
as 10 plans were either never made or have been lost. The 
plans are in good condition, so far as they go; but for sev- 
eral years nothing has been done upon them. 


East Boston. 


Of this division of the city there are 37 sectional plans, 
upon a scale of 40 feet to an inch. Seven plans have either 
never been made or have been lost, and. there are no plans of 
Breed’s Island. The plans are in good condition. 


South Boston. 


Of this division of the city there are 39 plans, upon a 
scale of 40 feet to an inch. Eleven plans required to com- 
plete the set have never been made. The plans are in good 
condition. 


68 City DocuMENT No. 34. 


Roxbury. 


Of this division of the city there are 79 plans, upon a scale 
of 40 feet to an inch. Two plans are missing, and 12 addi- 
tional plans are required to complete the set. Twenty-five of 
these plans are very much worn and should be replaced. With 
the exception of the missing plans, this set is correct to Jan- 


uary, 1895. 


Dorchester. 


Of this division of the city there should be 215 plans in 
the complete set. One hundred and six of the plans have been 
made, and are in good condition. 

This district is growing rapidly, many new streets have been 
built since the plans were made, and many calls are made for 
the plans not yet made. These plans are upon a scale of 40° 
feet to an inch. 


West Roxbury. 


Of this division of the city there are 34 sectional plans, 
upon a scale of 40 feet to an inch. The plans are in good 
condition, but nothing has been done upon them for some 
years. About 300 plans would be required to complete the 
set, but as portions of this district are thinly settled, 100 
additional plans would probably be sufficient for the next ten 
years. 

Brighton. 

Of this division of the city there are no sectional plans. 
There are 39 rolled plans, showing most of the principal 
streets, but nothing has been done upon these plans for many 
years. Sectional plans should be made of this district, the 
plans being made as needed. ‘To make the complete set 
120 plans would ‘be required, upon a scale of 40 feet to an 
MCs 

Summary. 

The Roxbury set has been brought up to January, 1895, 
and some work has been done upon the South Boston and 
Dorchester sets. Each sheet, when corrected, is marked 
correct to the proper date in pencil. The remaining sheets 
have not been corrected for four years certainly, and it is 
unknown just when they were last corrected. 

To maintain these plans in proper condition, 'a draughts- 
man and one assistant should be employed to take charge 
of them, to know all about them, to be responsible for their 
safe-keeping, to attend to people who desire to consult 
them, and to give their whole time to their correction. In 
one year, with the aid of such help as can be given by the 
remainder of the force in the winter, enough progress can be 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 69 


made to determine what the cost of keeping up such a set of 
plans will be, and it should then be settled whether it i 
worth while to continue to do so or not. The pay of : 
draughtsman and assistant, competent to do this work, at 
present rates, need not exceed $1,600 per annum. 


Berwick Park FOOTBRIDGE, OVER PROVIDENCE DIVISION, 
New York, New Haven, & Hartrorp RAILROAD. 


Plans and specifications for a retaining-wall on Follen 
street, and additions to the present retaining. wall on Ber- 
wick park, were prepared, and on June 21 a contract for 
doing this was concluded with Quimby & Ferguson for the 
sum of $3,200. These retaining- walls forin the supports of 
au iron footbridge similar to that over the railroad at Ir- 
vington street. ~The iron stairways and piers were furnished 
by the Boston Bridge Works, at a cost of $1,200. The iron 
span is that formerly used at Franklin street, Allston; it 
was taken down, moved, and erected at Berwick park by the 
Boston Bridge Works for the sum of $500. 


BoyLSTON-STREET BRIDGE, OVER Boston & ALBANY 
RAILROAD. 


Tron railings have been erected on this bridge, and on one 
of the street retaining-walls. The work was done by the 
Boston Bridge Works from plans and specifications prepared 
by this Department. 


YHARLES RIveR BRIDGE. 


This bridge, which was closed to team-travel on account of 
its dangerous condition, has been temporarily strengthened 
for the passage of light teams and foot-travel. The work 
was done by Tr umbull & Ryan and the Bridge Division of 
the Street Department. The amount paid Trumbull & 
Ryan under their contract was $2,909.94. 


CHELSEA-STREET BRIDGE. 


A contract was made with B. F. Nay & Co., on August 
20, for removing the old bridge, including the draw ‘and 
draw-pier, and rebuilding the entire pile: bridge and draw- 
pier, and on September 6 6 a contract was made with the 
Boston Bridge Works for building a steel swing draw. The 
work is so “nearly completed that it is probable that the 
bridge will be opened for travel early in the present month.

STREET OPENINGS. 


Eighteen thousand five hundred and fifty-two permits 
were granted during the past year to open streets. The exca- 
vations made under these permits aggregate 198.8 miles in 
length, and show the extent of this work. 

The Street Department has been accustomed to grant to 
the various gas and other companies, whose work would in 
certain cases admit of no delay, a so-called ‘* emergency 
permit,” which allowed excavations to be made without 
special permission being obtained, the only requirement 
being that a daily return of openings made under this form 
of permit should be forwarded to the office of the superin- 
tendent. 

Two thousand five hundred and seventy-six openings of 
an average length of six feet each were made under 
‘Cemergency permits ” for breaks in water and gas pipes 
which were alleged to require immediate attention. These 
openings were made under 99 permits. 

In addition to the above permits, various other permits 
have been issued to pedlers, mechanics, and others, for 
different purposes, 14,376 in number; making the total 
number of permits issued 32,928. 

Mention was made in last year’s report that real-estate 
owners are extremely careless in providing sewer and water 
connections for their several buildings, both old and new, in 
streets that are advertised to be improved and regulated, 
and frequently call for a permit to open for gas, water, or 
sewer connections soon after the department has put down a 
permanent pavement. 

Such cases are of frequent occurrence. The blame is 


STREET DEPARTMENT. (ph 


usually shifted off on unnoticed negligence of the contractor 
or somebody else, while the utter uselessness of a building 
without gas or water is put forward in the plea for consent 
to the opening being made. 

The only remedy would seem to be to demand the 
forfeiture of a sufficient sum of money to repay the depart- 
ment for the necessary labor of making the pavement good 
with its own force. If let off with any lighter concession, 
the chances are that repetitions of neglect will occur, and 
the pavement itself will not receive the full measure of care 
in replacement that the regulations stipulate. 


72 City Document No. 34. 


STREET-W ATERING. 


In 1891 for the first time the Street Department assumed 
the responsibility of watering streets on a more enlarged 
scale and on a different system. Numerous public hearings 
were given on the subject of street-watering before the work 
was started, but were productive only in stirring up opposi- 
tion to the proposed plan of assessing the expense of water- 
ing upon the estates abutting on streets and portions of 
streets watered, in proportion to the linear feet of frontage 
of each estate. 

This was decidedly objectionable . to the residents of 
suburban districts. The residents of the outlying sections 
of the city contended that such assessments would be ex- 
ceedingly heavy upon them, as their frontages are com- 
paratively large and the value of the estates relatively small. 
The owners of unimproved property also felt that such an 
arrangement would be a burden upon them. 

The objections resulted in the substitution for the pro- 
posed assessment of a yearly appropriation for street-water- 
ing to be met by the general tax-levy. 

To satisfy the complaints from Back Bay and South End 
residents on account of the unreasonable prices hitherto 
charged for the work, these two sections were let out by 
contract, to be paid for by the city, and the rest of the 
macadamized portions were watered by day carts, also at the 
city’s expense. Paved streets, however, have heen made 
the exception, and are still watered by private contractors at 
the abutter’s expense on the subscription plan. 

The results of the first two years were subjected to care- 
ful study, and adjustments in the distribution of the force 
and water-posts rendered the organization more efficient, 
until, with the modern equipments, the entire work was es- 
tablished on a more thorough and systematic basis. 

The year 1894 was the driest and hottest season since 
this system of street-watering was inaugurated. With the 
humidity at 40, the thermometer at 90, and high winds, it 
was impossible at times to keep the dust down, and there 
were many days during the season when the atmospheric 
conditions were such that double the number of carts would 
have been necessary to manage and control the dust. The 
full force of carts was needed every day for a period in- 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 13 


cluding June, July, and part of August, an unusually long 
spell of dry weather. 

The total number of miles of macadam streets watered 
this year was 296.66, an increase of 17.36 miles over last 
year. The contractors watered at the expense of the abut- 
ters 32.50 miles of paved streets. The total number of 
miles of macadam and paved streets watered was 529.56, an 
increase over the year previous of 20.53 miles. The paved 
streets of the city proper are quite free from dust and ina 
clean condition, from frequent sweeping. 

The department feels that the original cost of paved 
streets and the extra care taken of them does not warrant 
their free watering. 

The watering of paved streets by contractors has been so 
excessive at times that it was necessary to prohibit it after 
4 o’clock P.M. in order that the pavements might dry out 
preparatory for the night sweeping. 

When asphalt streets are flanked on either side by 
macadam streets, it is well-nigh impossible to keep them 
free from dust. Beacon street, for example, is intersected 
by sixteen (16) macadam streets, from the gutters of which 
more or less dirt and dust blows on to the asphalt, and in 
wet weather mud from the same is tracked on to the asphalt 
surface by both wheels and hoofs. Constant sweeping, sup- 
plemented by occasional light sprinkling with fresh water, is 
the only proper treatment for asphalt paving, although this 
course has not obtained the past year. 

Street-watering was begun this year on March 6 (last 
year March 19) and continued until December 1. A few 
carts were out on December 20 and 22. They could have 
been used oftener in this month, but the temperature would 
not permit. Streets cannot be watered if the thermometer 
is below 34°. 

On August 10 both roadways of Commonwealth avenue 
were deducted from the contract because of construction, 
and were not watered from then to the end of the season. 

To improve and facilitate the street-watering 24 new 
stand-pipes were erected. Much time is saved by establish- 
ing stand-pipes at convenient intervals, and more effectual 
watering can be done when the distance to obtain fresh sup- 
plies of water is not great. 

The old style copper sprinklers have vanished and modern 
styles have taken their places. 

The following table shows the changes that have been 
effected in the style of watering-carts during the past two 
years : e

This summary shows that ninety carts hired by the day 
and five carts owned by the city watered 271.20 miles of 
streets daily for the season. Last year ninety-four carts 
watered 257.45 miles of streets. 

The cost of day and city work, exclusive of supervision, 
was $229 per mile, or $62,192.50, as against $298 per mile 
and a total of $76,725 last year. 

The carts averaged 2.85 miles of streets per day as against 
2.74 miles last year. Watering was commenced on March 
6, and continued until December 1, although in Back Bay, 
streets were watered on December 20 and 22. |

abutters. The streets watered are all paved. ‘The table 
shows that with 194 carts these contractors watered 32.93 
miles of streets in the City Proper, South Boston, East Bos-

This summary shows that five contractors with 24 carts 
watered 4.50 miles of streets free of cost to the city on return 
for the privilege of watering paved streets for the abutters. 

The Superintendent of Streets required that they agree to 
this watering before granting them permits which ensures 
them the exclusive right of soliciting watering patronage 
from paved streets within certain defined limits, with the 
privilege of using the city stand-pipes and water.

Cost of day and city work, exclusive of supervision, 
$229.32 per mile. 

Cost of contract work, exclusive of supervision, $564.13. 

The apparent discrepancy between the cost of day work 
and that of contract work is accounted for by the fact that 
the contract watering obtained only in the South End and 
Back Bay Districts, where the streets are generally wide, 
and were partly watered with salt water. 

The slight excess in cost per mile of contract work over 
last year was due to an early start in watering. The con- 
tractors are paid by the day for work done in March and 
December, the season extending, as per contract, from April 
1 to December 1. The cost of contract, day, and city work 
was $74,016.67. This expense is the cost exclusive of su- 
pervision, water-posts, repairs, etc. Water was furnished 
by the Boston Water Board at no expense.

causes, principally on account of new streets, and new 
buildings being constructed where the pipes were formerly 
ocated.

INCOME. 


The Watering Division during the year watered streets in 
front of 106 school-houses, 14 police stations, and 28 engine- 
houses. In addition to the number cited we watered around 
several school-houses in course of construction. 


The following sums were charged for street-watering :

Owing to lack of appropriation the School Board last year 
refused to pay for the watering in front of their school- 
houses. 

The Boston Water Board, by its uniform promptness in 
furnishing new posts, in turning on or shutting off water, 
and in many other ways, has rendered the division much 
assistance during the year. 

Mr. J. W. Smith, the J.ocal Forecast official, offered 
valuable help by the mailing of weather maps twice a day 
and the furnishing of weather records.

SANITARY DIVISION. 


The work of the Sanitary Division includes the removal 
of house-offal and the removal of house and store dirt and 
ashes, accumulated from the burning of materials for heating 
buildings and for domestic purposes. 

The following table shows the number of loads of offal 
collected and removed in the last eleven (11) years:

Each load of offal is equivalent to fifty-seven (57) cubic 
feet, and weighs one and one-half (1}) tons at certain seasons 
of the year, at others less. _ 

The above table does not include previous to the year 
1893 the amount collected by contract in East Boston and 
Brighton, which amounted to about 5,100 loads per year. 
Of the amount (50,637 loads) collected during the year 
1894, 3,720 loads were collected by the East Boston con- 
tractor, 1,539 loads were collected by the Brighton con- 
tractor, and 3,296 loads were collected by the Dorchester 
contractor, leaving 42,082 loads collected by city teams. 

The collection of this material is attended to in winter by 
an average regular force of 75 city offal carts and 163 men, 
and on contract work 16 offal carts and 82 men; making a 
total of 91 offal carts and 196 men. At different times, and 
especially in summer, an approximate extra force of 2i 
teams and 42 men are employed. 


1 Thirteen months. 


82. Ciry Document No. 34. 


The disposal has been made during the year in the follow- 
ing manner: -The offal from the markets, and offal that is 
decayed, is put on board a scow and ieed to sea; the offal 
of Charlestown is taken to the yard at Malden bridge and 
then disposed of to farmers; the offal of East Boston is 
collected by contractors, and is removed to Revere; the 
offal of the City Proper and South Boston is conveyed to the 
yard at the South End, and disposed’ of to farmers, who 
remove it daily ; the offal of Roxbury and West Roxbury is 
conveyed to the yard on Highland street, and disposed of to 
farmers; a portion of the collections of West Roxbury is 
collected and sold to one man, who in turn sells it in 
Dedham ; the offal of Brighton is collected by contract and 
disposed of outside of the district; and the offal in Dor- 
chester has begun to be disposed of at the Gibson-street 
yard, where it is reduced by a process patented by the New 
England Construction Company, a description of which was 
given in the report of 1893. 

This plant has been in operation for so little time that no 
judgment can at this writing be passed upon its efficiency 
from a sanitary point of view. It is designed to provide for 
the disposal of 20 tons daily, and can undoubtedly take care 
of a somewhat larger amount. Every detail is well con- 
structed, and the general appearance of the buildings is 
suggestive of neatness and cleanliness. The actual results 
obtained will doubtless be of interest, and will appear in a 


future report.

The problem of a speedy disposal of offal without. waste 
has not as yet been successfully solved by any large munic- 
ipality. The attention given to it in the last five to ten 


years shows to what extent its importance has impressed it- 


self upon the public mind, while in large cities of the interior, 
like Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, the element 
of hasty extinction seems more desirable than any utilitarian 
consideration, and therefore destruction by fire is in great 
preference in Chicago, at least; yet the fact remains that no 
satisfactory plant has been established i in either of these large 
cities that could be run either on a self-supporting basis or 
at a sufficiently low cost to guarantee its permanency, and 
at the same time be free from public condemnation and criti- 
cism. Crematories appear too costly, as a rule, reduction 
processes too offensive, due either to the use of objectionable 
reducing agents, or to undesirable odors from both the liquid 
and solid pr oducts of the reduction. The point of collection 
is generally the seat of complaint, because of failure to dis- 
pose of the collections promptly, and to properly wash out 
the offal wagons. 
In some cases the city has had to come to the relief of the 
contracting corporations, and either contribute both the col- 
lected offal and all the animal-matter, or step in and run the

whole plant itself. Various experiments have been tried, 
and are being tried, and progress for the better can be re- 
ported; but the successful solution will only come when a 
truer knowledge of real facts is obtained, and the exact cost 
of every detail is carefully examined, not under the light of 
hasty and misleading comparisons between cities, ignoring 
the many differences in local conditions and requirements 
that always exist in different localities, but under the light 
of a comprehensive judgment that is seeking, only on the 
basis of sound and conservative reasoning, to establish a 
healthful method of treatment consistent with the demands of 
a growing population, and utterly void of all glittering sug- 
gestions of a sudden and mysterious fortune for an irrespon- 
sible inventor. Profit should be of secondary consideration, 
public health of the first. 


REMOVAL OF ASHES. 


The removal of ashes, house and store dirt, bas been at- 
tended to during the year by a minimum force of 207 men 
and 88 city carts, also by 5 carts with an East Boston con- 
tractor, and 9 by the South Boston contractors, 5 carts by a 
West Roxbury contractor, and 8 carts by the Dorchester 
contractors. . At different times, and especially during the 
winter months, an additional force of 50 teams and 100 men 
are employed. 

This work shows a constant increase from year to year, as 
will be seen in the following table, and is an indication of 
the actual growth of the city:

The department in this city insists on a complete separa- 
tion of offal and ashes. Receptacles containing both are not 
removed. The necessity of such separation is so obvious 
that no discussion is necessary. Other cities are recently 
following the example set by Boston. 

The total expenditures of the division on account of offal 
and ashes, stock, etc., were $484,012.80. 


86 City Document No. 34. 


SEWER DIVISION. 


The past year has been one of unusual activity on the part 
of this division. The city has built with its own labor and 
by contract 90,802.77 linear feet of sewers, and designed and 
inspected 24,877.05 linear feet for private parties building 
under release ; making a total for the year of 115,679.82 
feet, or nearly twenty-two miles, which is about eight miles 
more than an average year. ‘The total mileage of sewers 
now built is 884.72, of which 22.59 miles are intercepting 
sewers. Many new catch-basins and culverts have been 
built and old ones repaired. Over twenty miles of sewers 
have been cleaned and flushed, and 19,652.55 cubic yards of 
sludge removed from various catch-basins. 

Under Chap. 323 of the Acts of 1891, as amended by 
Chap. 402 of the Acts of 1892, the Board of Street Com- 
missioners had laid out a number of streets, and this division 
has built, by contract, in eight different streets, all the 
sewers, catch-basins, and house-drains which will ever be 
required, carrying the latter out to the curb-line. In the 
case of some unusually wide streets, 1t is the custom to build 
a.sewer on each side of the street close to the curb, it hav- 
ing been found cheaper to do this than to build so many 
long house-drains. The object of building all these drains 
at one time is to make it feasible to preserve the street sur- 
face from the destructive effect of the constant digging of 
trenches for the laying of drains to connect the houses with 
the sewers. 

The water and gas mains and house connections have been 
laid in these streets, in the same manner and for the same 
reason. 

In designing sewers for a large city, provision must be 
made not only for house sewage, but also for as much of the 
rainfall as will naturally find its way into the sewer system. 
The determination of the amount of house sewage is not 
complicated, as it is usually taken as about equal to the 
water supply of a given district. The size of the sewer is 
made to correspond with the maximum flow that occurs 
during the six hours of the day when the water supply is the 
greatest. 

The care of the rainfall or the determination of the pro- 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 87 


portion of rainfall that should be provided for in the sewer 
design is 2 much more complicated problem, and has so often 
been carelessly computed or left out of consideration, that 
the present generation is obliged to make up for the omis- 
sions of former engineers. 

While the oldest inhabitant can tell of severe rain-storms 
that occurred years ago, no definite idea of their intensity 
can be gathered from the general terms of their description. 
Not until within recent years have rain-gauges been in use 
that would determine, except in a crude way, the amount of 
rainfall in a given time. When one looks for the records 
locally, he is surprised to find so little data adapted to the 
particular locality under consideration. 

As far as Boston and vicinity is concerned, we are very 
much indebted to Mr. Desmond FitzGerald for the most 
careful records of both the water supply and the rainfall, 
together with a compilation of all the available data from 
different sources near this city. His records, taken with an 
automatically registering rain-gauge, show not only the total 
rainfall, but what is more essential, the rate of rainfall 
during the period of heaviest constant fall, which in reality 
determines the maximum flood discharge in sewers and water- 
courses. Diagrams of these rainfalls have been published 
in previous reports of this department. Recent study of 
this subject by eminent engineers has, through the published 
records of the profession, “thrown much light on this ques- 
tion, and led to a much more intelligent judgment i in all con- 
structive design. The difference between the congested city 
area and the suburban area is fully appreciated, “the one 
with its impermeable pavements, brick sidewalks, and slated 
roofs, delivering with great rapidity the entire rainfall to 
the catch-basins and sewers; the other uncovered, porous in 
nature, drinking up with avidity the first downfall of rain, 
until saturated, or the “drainage vehicle” is established, 
when it then begins to deliver to the sewer system. After 
taking into consideration all these facts, and determining to 
a nicety the sizes of sewers, storm-drains, culverts, and over- 
flows, and so regulating the same that no injudicious expen- 
diture of money shall be made by building too large or 
prematurely, and no injury shall ensue by building too small, 
the working success of the design is nevertheless largely in- 
terfered with, because of the disregard of public good on 
the part of private owners of land, who fail entirely to ap- 
preciate the part in such design that natural water-courses 
play, and also fail to recognize that the law of equity de- 
mands that they be sacredly maintained, instead of being 
blotted out of sight. 


88 City Document No. 34. 


The following statement of facts, as given by the Engineer 
of Sewer Division, Mr. E. 8. Dorr, shows the tendency of 
the day, and is worthy of the careful consideration of all 
who have the general welfare and the general ultimate and 
permanent success of all our public works at heart : 


SURFACE DRAINAGE. 


“The subject of the proper disposal of the surface water in 
the suburban districts of the city is one of increasing 
importance. 

“ While the sewers in the City Proper, East and South 
Boston, and Charlestown are, in the main, large enough to 
carry both the sewage and surface water, those of the out- 
lying districts are altogether too small to take the surface 
water, the areas to be drained being enormously larger than 
in the districts first mentioned. As the sewer system has 
been extended, year by year, into these outlying districts, 
the sizes designed have been but little larger than what was 
necessary to serve the needs of the district at the time of 
building. For many reasons this policy has been unavoid- 
able; the size of outlets limits the size of extensions, and 
scarcity of funds often makes it imperative to build a sewer 
smaller than good judgment would dictate, in order to reach 
some community where the public health is endangered for 
lack of sewerage. 

“In ‘many cases it would be not only financially im- 
practicable but would show bad business judgment to sink 
large sums of money in building sewers large enough for all 
time, when the development of the district is uncertain or 
likely to be slow. The result of these various causes is, that 
the sewer system in Dorchester, West Roxbury, Brighton, 
and parts of Roxbury, while large enough in general to take 
care of the house sewage and the street water during light 
rains, is totally inadequate to carry off the surface water of 
heavy rains. 

“A few instances are here arranged in tabular form to show 
the discrepancy between the capacity of the sewer and the 
storm flow from the district which it serves, the first column’ 
giving the names of the street in which the sewer lies, the 
second the capacity of the sewer in cubic feet per second, 
the third the size of the district in acres, and the fourth an 
estimate of the storm flow from the district :

“The difference between the capacity and duty is being 
carried by the water-courses and by running the sewers 
under a head, often with floodings in consequence. 

“The figures given above represent the flow which may be 
expected from a rainfall at the rate of an inch per hour, and 
the discharge of storm water from the districts even with this 
rainfall will increase with the development by 20% and 
over; heavier rains, which occur at intervals of a few years, 
will yield vastly more. 

“The state of things is growing constantly worse as the city 
grows, because, as new streets and houses are built, the 
proportion of impervious surface, from which the rain runs 


90 - Crry Document No. 34. 


off rapidly, is being increased, causing the rainfall upon any 
given area to be concentrated and discharged in less time 
than in former years. 

“The inadequacy of the sewer systems to carry the storm 
water becomes, therefore, more apparent every year as this 
change in the character of the surface of the ground goes on. 
It is also apparent that it becomes correspondingly impor- 
tant to preserve and improve the natural water-courses to: 
serve as carriers of the bulk of these floods, as the alterna- 
tive to this is practically to rebuild the whole sewer system 
of the suburban districts upon a larger scale. 

“Tn other words, we shall be compelled to regard our sewers 
as part of a partially separate system, although they were 
built and have been used upon the combined principle. 

“By confining the sewers to the duty of carrying the house 
sewage and the discharge from a limited number of catch- 
basins only, they will prove in most cases large enough, while 
the natural water-courses, supplemented by surface drains in 
the streets, will have to be developed into a system for car- 
rying away the storm water. 

“It is also important to keep as much surface water as pos- 
sible out of the sewer system, for the additional reason that 
all water, whether sewage or rain water, has to be lifted. by 
the pumps of the intercepting system. 

“ But however much those whose business it is to care for 
the city’s interest, may be impressed with the importance of 
preserving the water- courses, it is very difficult to impress 
the general public with its importance. This department is 
constantly involved in contests with land-owners who are 
filling up and obliterating these water-courses, heedless of 
well-defined channels or conspicuous street culverts. And 
here comes in play that discouraging phase of human nature, 
in consequence of which men, who are honorable in their 
dealings with their fellows, seem to be able to make use of a 
much lower code of mor ae when they come to deal with that 
impersonal entity called the city. 

“Although it may be explained to them that their course 
will entail upon the city in a few years an enormous expense 
for rebuilding the sewers of larger size, and although the 
law is perfectly clear that no man has a right to obstruct a 
natural water-course and thereby damage his neighbor, still 
their personal gain outweighs these theoretical consider- 
ations, and they will persist in obliterating the channel, and 
will bring every political and other influence to bear to the 
end that the water which should flow in that channel be 
turned into the sewer, and have in many cases succeeded. 

“ No one can pretend that the land speculator suffers any 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 9} 


hardship by not being allowed to improve his lot in this 
manner, because the depreciation in the value of the land 
caused by the presence of the water-course has undoubtedly 
been discounted in the purchase price in every transfer 
through which it has passed, and certainly no one can claim 
that he has any moral right to the increment of value added 
thus at the city’s expense. Unfortunately, his legal right to 
it is clear if he can get the thing done, and therein lies the 
temptation. 

“ Now, the city’s interest is such a vital one in this matter. 
that it cannot afford to remain passive: its course must be 
more aggressive in the future, or many of the most impor- 
tant of these water-courses will be practically obliterated 
within a few years, as a perusal of the paragraphs describing 
their present condition (which will be given later) will 
prove. 

“The law, as it stands, gives the city no rights which are 
at all commensurate with its interest in the matter. 

“The city’s obligation is to keep a good and sufficient 
culvert in operation on every water-course which crosses a 
public street. 

“Tf an abutter upon a water-course starts filling it in, the 
city can take no action until actual damage has resulted from 
flooding the street. 

“This is the sum total of the city’s duties and rights in 
regard to these channels. 

“The city should be given the right, by virtue of its in- 
terest, to prevent the obliteration tat these channels, by 
notification and the imposition of suitable fines; this would 
require the action of the Legislature. This right would serve 
to keep some kind of a channel open; but even this is not 
sufficient, as it would result in leaving to every abutter the 
right to build such a channel as he might desire without any 
uniformity of size or material, whereas a ch: annel, to be an 
efficient carrier otf water, should be fairly uniform as to size 
and grade. 

* All cities build sewer systems and assess a portion of the 
cost upon those benefited, instead of leaving it to be done 
by individuals, by mutual agreement, because that is the 
only practicable way to secure a working system ; there is 
just as much reason for doing the same thing i in the case of 
a system of surface drainage. In very many cases it is now 
necessary to improve the channel of water-courses by deep- 
ening, widening, and straightening. Before the city can do 
this work it must. at present make formal takings and pay 
land damages. 

“It must then assume the whole cost of the work, as it has 


92 City Document No. 34. 


no power to assess. The land-owners meanwhile reap all 
the benefit, the value of lands abutting upon such a stream 
being enhanced enormously by such operations, being often- 
times converted from swamps into available building lots. 

“If the city’s right to secure the preservation of these 
water-courses could be clearly established by legislative 
action, as proposed above, then damages could not be proven 
in case the city made improvements upon them; this being 
so, the necessity for making takings would in most cases be 
avoided, by obtaining easements by agreement with the land- 
owners for such locations for the channels as the land-owners 
might prefer in order to enable them to cut up their land 
into building lots to the best advantage. If, in addition, the 
city were given the right to assess such proportion of the 
cost of improvement upon abutting lands as the Legislature 
might deem fit, the vexed question of maintaining an ade- 
quate system of surface drainage, as a necessary adjunct to 
the sewer system, would be in a fair way to be settled upon 
an equitable basis. 

“A brief review of the present condition and needs of some 
of the principal natural water-courses of the city may prove 
instructive. 


DORCHESTER DISTRICT. 


“Tenean brook is the natural outlet for the drainage of a 
valley of about 800 acres. The advisability of improving its 
channel in order to afford relief to the overcrowded sewer 
systems in Park and Gibson streets was discussed in the 
Report for 1892, page 112 (to which reference is made), and 
the approximate cost stated as $125,000, covering the main 
brook and its northern branch from the outlet at Mill street 
to Park street near the West End car-houses. An extension 
of the improvement of about 700 feet would reach and drain 
the ‘Clay Pits,’ so called, of which particular mention was 
made in the report of the committee of the Common Council 
on Dorchester marsh lands, made January 3, 1895. This 
would cost about $12,000 more, making $137,000 in all. 
Farther up stream on this northern branch the city has built 
an expensive storm sewer from Bowdoin street through 
Geneva avenue and Westville street. 

“This improvement will have to be eventually extended 
down stream to connect with the one first mentioned, and the 
surfurce water from all streets in the vicinity conducted to it 
by a system of surface drains. 

“Upon the southern branch of this brook, which reaches 
the vicinity of Rosemont street, the city has built a capacious 
culvert on Dorchester avenue, and private parties who are 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 93 


developing a large tract of land west of Dorchester avenue 
will provide a channel for it there. 

“The southerly branch of Davenport brook flows through 
the Churchill swamp, to which reference is also made in 
the report of the Common Council commmittee previously 
mentioned. <A systematic deepening of this brook from its 
mouth upwards is the only means of draining this swamp. 

“On the northerly branch the city has built culverts on 
Armandine, Bailey, and Fuller streets and Dorchester 
avenue. Private parties have obstructed and nearly closed 
this water-course on Armandine, near Washington street, and 
at Burt avenue; early action should be taken to compel the 
reopening of its channel. 

“The Mattapan brook, which rises near Forest Avenue 
Station and flows through Mattapan Village to the Neponset 
river, if improved systematically would improve the sanitary 
condition of that region and render large areas of swamp 
lands available for building purposes. 

“The improvement of the upper part of this brook in the 
vicinity of Capen, Fuller, and Seldon streets is a necessity, 
owing to the fact that whatever system of sewers is built 
there, it will be impossible to take into them any of the 
storm water. 

* Passing over the divide into the valley of Stony brook, 
the brook which flows through the site of the Oakland 
Garden, claims our attention. The department, has had a 
long controversy with the land-owners here, who have oblit- 
erated the channel of the brook and turned its waters into 
the sewers, to the great detriment of the latter. 

“This work will have to be undone. Farther down stream, 
where this brook is larger, the city has built ample culverts 
on Spencer street, Wheatland avenue, and Millet street. 


West Roxpury DIstTricr. 


“ Stony brook and its main tributaries need not be discussed 
further, in connection with this subject, than to state that 
they are too large to be in danger of obliteration. If funds 
were available, however, improvements might be undertaken 
upon them which would amply repay the cost. Upon the Can- 
terbury branch, in the vicinity of the Austin Farm; upon 
the Roslindale branch, near Florence and Washington streets ; 
Whipple avenue and Ashland street; a large tract between 
Walter, Weld, and Hewlett streets; also in the vicinity of 
Anawan avenue and Colberg-street extension, and Beach and 
Irving streets, — are localities where a comparatively light 
cost and inexpensive improvement would convert partially 
submerged marshes into habitable building land. 


94 City Document No.. 34. 


“The whole valley of the Roslindale branch above the 
channel built by the City Engineer in 1891, extending across 
Dudley and Bellevue avenues and along Belgrade avenue to 
Central Station, needs attention. 

“This locality now has sewerage, and is being rapidly built 
up, but the present condition of the brook must lead to 
damp cellars, flooded lands, malaria and fever, if not bettered 
before long. 

“The brook which rises south of West Roxbury Station and 
crosses the Dedham Branch R.R. near Spring Street Station 
needs urgently a systematic deepening and straightening, as 
the premises of the inhabitants of this valley are flooded by 
it every winter; but as much sewage finds its way directly 
‘and indirectly into it, and as it flows into Charles river at a 
point above where several towns and cities take their drink- 
ing water from the river, a system of sewerage should precede 
its improvement, for this sewage is now practically destroyed 
before reaching the river by the natural processes of aeration 
and sedimentation during its slow progress through reedy 
marshes. 


BRIGHTON DISTRICT. 


“Tn this district more abuses of the natural water-courses, 
in the way of obstruction, obliteration, and connection with 
the sewers, has taken place than in any other part of the city. 
The most important of these is the brook near Shepard and 
Winship streets, which flows northerly across Washington 
and Cambridge streets, near their junction, and North Bea- 
con, near Arthur street ; it then crosses Everett street at-the 
corner of Braintree street, passes under the Boston & Al- 
bany Railroad, Lincoln and Franklin streets, in a culvert of 
considerable size. From Franklin to North Harvard streets 
the little that remains of the brook is carried in an absurdly 
small channel, consisting of 24 and 18 inch pipes; from 
North Harvard street to the river it flows in an open chan- 
nel, crossing Western avenue in a good stone culvert. It is 
taken into the sewer in Shepard street, causing the sewers 
‘in this street and Winship street to back into the cellars 
every spring, and during heavy storms at other seasons. It 
is taken in again at Cambridge street, overcharging this 
sewer badly. Again on North “Beacon street, near Arthur 
street, it is turned into the sewer. On Everett street, at the 
corner of Braintree, itis again connected with the sewer, and 
the remnant is carried in a pipe through the cellars of sev- 
eral dwelling-houses. A culvert was built at the demand of 
this department through the retaining-walls and embankment 
of the approach of the new Everett-street bridge over the 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 95 


Boston & Albany Railroad, but is inoperative. At this 
point the only way of restoring the brook channel seems to 
be by building a capacious storm sewer. The importance of 
establishing an uninterrupted channel for this brook may be 
seen from the facts that its water-shed, at North Beacon 
street, for instance, is three hundred and five acres, yielding 
a flow of one hundred and ten cubic feet per second from 
storms of moderate intensity in the present state of develop- 
ment of the district, and probably one hundred and seventy- 
five cubic feet in- heavy storms, to say nothing of the 
increase of flow, which must come with the future develop- 
ment, while the capacity of the main sewer in North Beacon 
street, which is the only channel operating at present: freely, 
is only thirty-five cubic feet per second. 

“ Between North Harvard street and Western avenue the 
channel of the brook runs through the Rena-street district, 
so called, comprising about sixty acres. On account of its 
proximity to the Metropolitan main sewer, a part of this 
district has been .sewered upon the separate system, the 
house sewers being connected with the Metropolitan sewer 
and the surface drains with the brook. Another portion, 
including Rena, North Harvard, Bayard, Weitz, and Ken- 
neth streets, has no surface drains as yet. As the connec- 
tions of these house sewers with the Metropolitan sewer had 
to be made through regulators, at the demand of the Metro- 
politan Drainage “Commission, these sewers have no means 
of relief, except by backing up into the cellars, whenever 
the water in the Metropolitan sewer rises high enough to 
cause the regulators to cut off the connection. Surface 
drains will have to be built, connecting with the brook, and 
serving as relief overflows ist the tee sewers, making it 
absolutely necessary for this portion of the brook channel, at 
least, to be preserved. 

“It will be seen from the foregoing description that this 
important brook is practically obliterated in numerous 
places, and measures should be taken by the city promptly 
to reopen its channel; for, if it is not done, the city will be 
forced to build an enormously expensive storm sewer to take 
its place, from North Harvard street to Shepard street, a 
distance of about nine thousand feet, at an early date. 

“A drain, formerly a brook channel, tributary to the main 
brook, comes from the Boston & Albany stock yards, and 
joins the main brook at Everett street, close to the railroad. 
This carries all the foul washings of the stock yards, and 
causes a nuisance in the channel of the main brook north 
of this point. This should be connected with the Everett- 
street sewer, as its contents are as foul as any sewage; but 


96 Ciry Document No. 34. 


first the main brook should be disconnected from the sewer 
and restored to its proper channel. 

“The tract of land bounded by North Beacon, Murdock, 
Sparhawk, and Market streets is laid out in streets, and has 
some sewers, built years ago by private parties. These are 
too near the surface to serve as sewers, but may be utilized 
as surface drains. A brook formerly flowed from this land 
across Market street, near Faneuil street, and down to the 
pond near North Beacon street at the iron bridge, and a por- 
tion of a good walled-up channel may yet be seen, but the 
remainder is obliterated. If this channel is not kept open 
the surface water from this area will all have to go into the 
Market-street sewer, and thence into the North Beacon-street 
sewer, aggravating the overcrowded condition of that sewer. 

* At Oak square there is a brook which runs across the 
square from Tremont street under the West End car-houses 
and through private land between Faneuil and Washington 
streets, crossing Faneuil street, and-running through Brooks 
pond to join the main brook from Chandler’s pond. 

* A tributary to this brook, which drains all the catch-basins 
in Oak square, and will afford a relief overflow to the Wash- 
ington-street sewer, has been cut off by the building of the 
foundations of the West End car-houses, and will have to be 
restored. : 

“The main brook from Chandler’s pond is too large to be 
easily obstructed, and has had culverts of ample size built 
upon it by the city at Parsons, Hobart, Faneuil, Oakland, 
and Lake streets.” 


The desirability of systematically deepening and improv- 
ing waterways like the above-mentioned, beginning at the 
outlet and working toward their source, is unquestionable, 
and should be carried out before the adjoining land is wholly 
cut up into house lots and largely built upon, as then it would 
involve expensive land takings and serious claims for damage. 

It is equally plain that the city should not be forced to 
take within its street- limits a diverted waterway, and thus 
lengthen its course, and necessitate a more costly construc- 
tion. Other cities are taking up this question, with a view 
of utilizing the valleys of prominent streams as a part of 
their park system, after the manner of our own Muddy 
River Parkway, with its banks terraced and planted with 
shady trees and flowering shrubs, crossed by well-designed 
stone-arched bridges, till the whole effect is most charming 
to those who admire landscape. Where necessary, the 
lowering of the stream-bed might be the means of trans- 
forming worthless stretches of land into the choicest building

lots. The former City Engineer of Newton, Mr. A. E. 
Noyes, and Mr. E. A. Buss, in making a joint study of this 
question, suggest that if legislation is commendable in estab- 
lishing a Board of Survey for the city of Boston, especially 
authorized to designate the locations and grades of streets 
for the best public good, and to prevent owners of property 
from making further departure therefrom, then there is 
much more ground for seeking legislative authority for a 
city to lay out and determine the size and location of its 
surface drains, and prevent interference of the same by 
property-holders, under fear of penalty. 

Whatever course is taken, cheap and temporary expedients 
for private interests only should be wholly discountenanced.

Owing to the constant growth of Dorchester and West 
Roxbury, the work done by occasional visits of sections of 
gangs from the adjoining districts was no longer sufficient ; 
but, on account of the small appropriation, no additional 
force could be organized. These districts, however, are 
constantly cared for by the Paving Division force, thus saving 
the expense of extra superintendence and headquarters. 

The following table shows the average force employed 
during the year:

STREET—CLEANING. 


With a gross expenditure of $307,113.16, this division has 
cleaned 10,432.75 miles of streets, removing 95,478 loads 
of street-dirt; has also cleaned 2,175.65 miles of paved 
gutters on macadamized streets, including special work on 
crossings, maintained 16 dumping-stations, removed excess 
of snow from pavements and crossings, paid special atten- 
tion to the collection and removal of leaves in the fall of the 
year, maintained a paper-patrol in freezing weather and a 
push-cart patrol in the retail district throughout the year ; 
and, besides making necessary repairs to its plant and pur- 
chasing the new stock needed, made a disposal at sea of 
some 30,766 loads of street-dirt. The average cost of 
sweeping streets, including supervision, labor, yard, and 
stable expenses, pro rata of dumps, and removal, was $15.61 
per mile. 

If the gross expenditure, including stock and all miscella- 
neous expenses, be divided by the total mileage of the city, 
which is 452 miles, the outside expenditure per season per 
mile of street is found to be $679, which is very low as 
compared with other cities. 

The results of the push-cart patrol system have been 
most satisfactory, and an extension of the routes is surely 
warrantable. Fifty thousand two hundred and_ eighty 
barrel-loads were taken up by this force alone. 

The public waste-barrels, located in the immediate vicinity 
of various fruit stores, inviting the deposition of refuse 
which would otherwise be thrown into the street, have found 
favor with the public, and much littering of the street is 
thereby avoided. 

District 8, or Brighton, was wholly taken care of by the 
Paving Division ; also, macadamized streets in other outlying 
districts were scraped by this division, and 37,557 single 
and 1,948 double loads of street-scrapings were removed. 
After a severe snow-storm, the paving force is called to the 
aid of the street-cleaning force, and the cost of snow- 
removal is reported in Appendix B.

STREET DEPARTMENT. 101 


GENERAL REMARKS. 


The general term “ street-cleaning” appears to be used in 
common discussion in a very loose way, and very mislead- 
ing comparisons and erroneous conclusions result. This 
has been more apparent of lute, as the subject has been of 
more than ordinary interest to the public for the past few 
years, and receives a correspondingly increased considera- 


‘tion by the press everywhere. In these comparisons the 


cost quantities set over against each other under the simple 
term “street-cleaning” do not apply in different cities to the 


same or analogous work. 

It starts with (1) sweeping streets only ; it then grows to 
include (2) the removal of the dirt or road detritus to the 
dumps ; then gradually extends its scope by the following suc- 
cessive steps: (3) collecting and removing ashes, store-dirt, 
house-dirt, and kitchen refuse and garbage ; (4) final disposi- 
tion, either at sea, by incineration, or some rendering process ; 
(5) collecting and rendering dead animals ; sO) cleaning of 
alleys and private Ways ; (7), cleaning of catch-basins, cess- 
pools, and vaults, and removing night-soil ; (8) removal of 
snow; (9) scraping macadamized streets ; ; (10) street- 
sprinkling 

Each of the above items involves an expense varying in 
amount according to local conditions and laws. Collecting 

ashes, for instance, may figure but $2.00 per mile of street, 
while scraping a heavy macadamized street may cost $100 
per mile. Then, too, some cities report that a certain num- 
ber of miles of streets are kept clean throughout the year, 
which in some cases is a fair percentage of the city mileage, 
and in others it is made to equal the total mileage. Other 
cities keep a record of streets swept or cleaned each day, 
and at the end of the year report the accumulated amount, 
or total miles actually cleaned. It does not require much 
mathematical calculation to ascertain which method gives 
the best showing for the least amount of expenditure. 
Local conditions vary greatly. Some cities are almost 
wholly paved, few, like Boston, are mostly macadamized or 
gravelled. Some have convenient dumps, others necessitate 
lone hauls. The price of labor varies, and the hours of 
labor are not always restricted. Public sentiment demands 
more in one city than in another, so that the degree of clean- 
liness satisfactory in one latitude would only be a source of 
disgust in another. Mud on a crossing not over a boot-sole 
would raise a protest in some of our fashionable quarters, 
while in some of our Western cities, less whimsical by nature, 
no fault is found until there is “mud enough to bog a duck.” 


102 City Document No. 34. 


The history of the last five or ten. years shows that the 
public demands a higher service, and the refinement of the 
present day asks for a greater oppor tunity for personal 
comfort and good health, and public opinion sanctions an 
increased expenditure. The amount spent on sanitary clean- 
liness was never so great as it is to-day in all our large 
cities, New York, for instance, about doubling the amount 
used five years ago. ‘This desire for cleanliness has been 
spreading from city to city, until each one has its organized 
force with modern auxiliaries and appliances, vying with each 
other in the praiseworthy effort to banish the filthy and 
unsightly refuse from our public thoroughfares, and thus 
make them compare favorably with the streets abroad. 

The time has now come when the official in charge must 
not study as to how much money he can spend for this work 
ina single year, but how much greater area he can keep 
truly clean’ without increasing the expenditure. Results 
without extravagance are really what is to be sought. In 
other words, the problem is resolved into this: By what 
methods can refuse of all kinds be turned to revenue or 
usefulness, and absolute waste be reduced to a minimum ? 

This can only be accomplished by a careful and pains- 
taking process of differentiation or separating the products 
of street collections, and diverting each to a sphere of use- 
fulness consistent with its character. Just as the material 
of a gravel bank becomes more useful and of wider adapta- 
bility to constructive requirements by a simple process of 
running it through a system of wire screens of varying 
mesh, until stones of a uniform size and sand _ particles are 
each collected together to be used for widely different 
purposes, so our refuse separated into its different elements 
may be turned to some good account, each being appropri- 
ated to its most valuable purpose, the clean ash its bed of 
filling, the rag its paper-mill, road detritus its fertilization 
market, and house-offal its digestor, wherein it is further 
separated, yielding both animal and vegetable products of 

varying worth. This separating process must begin with 

each householder, and hence the requirement that different 
receptacles must be provided and used, one for street-dirt, 
another for ashes, and yet another for house-offal. The 
simple work of street-cleaning in its broad and sanitary 
sense must then resolve itself into a machine-like march of 
an organized force so controlled that, without interfering 
with the business use of streets, and sation waste of time 
by conflicting effort, it shall take captive every scrap of filth 
and refuse legally left within its reach, and without delay 
or incidental annoyance remove the same to the nearest 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 103 


point of collection, from which its final useful disposition 
can be made. 

Its success. must depend largely upon public codperation 
with the municipal authorities, and individual effort through- 
out the community to refrain from carelessly allowing any of 
its waste dirt to be scattered about on any public highway. 


SMOKE NUISANCE. 


Argument is not necessary to convince the citizens of this 
city or any city that soft-coal smoke is the cause of untold 
injury to health, to the beauty of our architecture, to the 
cleanliness of our office furnishings and records, and a de- 
structive agency of marked efficiency within the business 
district in its pernicious contact with the finer textile fabrics, 
and general merchandise as well. 

Theorizing as to the remedy is not what the people want, 
but a practical, energetic, and effective activity, directed by 
proper law. and ordinance, that shall forthwith demand 
compliance with such regulations as will abolish existing 
nuisances, and prevent new construction from entirely dis- 
regarding this whole question in the laying out of new plant. 
Such has been the plan of operation of this department. <A 
résumé of the work of the year shows some good results, not 
so much in the multiplicity of the so-called devices, as in the 
actual marked reduction of the percentage of “dense, dark 
smoke” emitted from various stacks, as shown by recent 
observations as compared with those taken upon the same 
plants a year ago. Owners of estates have been more liberal 
in their desire to contribute to the general good of the com- 
munity by the purchase of better and more smokeless fuels ; 
engineers have been more stringent in their orders to the 
firemen, and the firing itself has not been so often intrusted 
to the elevator boy or some other equally irresponsible em- 
ployee. 

The scarcity of good coal in this vicinity last winter, due 
to the great strike among the miners, had a marked effect 
upon plants in this city, complaints coming from stacks that 
had formerly given no trouble. 

Nothing has been more apparent from the result of the 
observations than the extreme lenity of the present law, 
allowing as it does that a stack may belch forth dense, dark 
smoke for fully one-fourth of the time. The history of the 
movement here only shows that the terms of the law should 
be prescribed by the community at large which is offended 
against, rather than by the offenders themselves. City 


104 City DocumENtT No. 34. 


Document No. 81 of 1893 shows that the consumers of soft 
coal themselves were on the alert to see that the movement 
did not become too stringent in its final recommendations. 

Chapter 353 of the Acts and Resolves of 1893 is still in 
force, but it is hoped that the present Legislature will modify 
it, as there is great difficulty in securing conviction in court, 
a warrant having been refused on one of the worst cases of 
violation as shown by observations of the inspector. 

During the past year 188 complaint notices have been 
served and 184 inspections made; making a total to date of — 
319 notices served, and 300 inspections completed. 

The inspections may be classified as follows:

Of the thirty-two plants reported as using hard coal, 
eight have since gone back to soft coal, mainly on the ground 
that they needed greater steaming capacity. Several are 
using soft coal and hard-coal screenings, and claim that they 
can keep within the limits of the law by so doing. 

All of the above-mentioned inspections have been sub- 
jected to mechanical study, from which the following defects 
were made evident :

Circulars in regard to the selection of fuel and care in 
firing have been issued from time to time. A dispositiqn to 
comply with the law and with the department regulations has 
been generally evident, showing that our community is made 
up mainly of law-abiding citizens. Even when the strike 
among coal operatives was on in April, the effects of which 
were very noticeable in June and July, and complaints began 
to multiply, investigation showed that, while inferior grades 
of bituminous coal were being shipped to this port in large 
quantities, owners were for the most part willing to subject 


106 City Document No. 34. 


themselves to a little larger expense, and mix some hard coal 
with the soft, to mitigate in some degree the increased nuis- 
ance. OnJuly 10 six additional observers were given to the 
inspector, to aid in taking records of various stacks. Later, 
this number was reduced to two men, who have covered 
the city regularly by districts, and have been keeping the 
department informed of any unusual appearance of smoke 
emission. 

Some fifty set observations have been made on various 
stacks, lasting from two to sixteen hours each. These 
showed per cents. of dense, dark smoke varying from 5.1 to 
about 60, with one abnormal one of 78.8 per cent. Plants 
well equipped for complete combustion showed from 10 to 
20 per cent. <A few well-regulated and well-proportioned 
plants without device managed to keep their smoke from 20 
to 26 per cent. 


New Locations. 


On July 24 a standing objection was filed with the 
Survey and Inspection of Buildings Department against the 
granting of permits for new boilers, without the applicants 
for locations first satisfying this department that they would 
endeavor to comply with the law, either by the adoption of a 
smoke-consuming device, or the use of a smokeless fuel. 

In practice, the following formalities are observed before 
the applicant can receive permission to locate a new or 
relocate an old boiler-plant. He first makes application to 
the Inspector of Buildings, and is informed that before per- 
mission can be granted, the consent of the Superintendent of 
Streets must be obtained. 

The Inspector of Buildings then fills out the upper 
portion of the following blank and sends it to the Superin- 
tendent of Streets:

On receipt of this notification, the Superintendent of

applicant, who must then appear before the Superintendent 
of Streets to obtain his sanction of the proposed boiler 
location.

Yours truly, 


Superintendent of Streets. 


Pending the granting of the location, an inspection is made 
of the proposed boiler plant, and if the Superintendent of 
the Street Department finds that there is reasonable proba- 
bility that it will comply with the law and ordinances, the 
applicant is required to sign the following blank, which states 
the nature of the boiler plant, coal to be used, ete. :

AR et ae days from date, and will see that due care is con- 
tinually exercised both in the selection and use of fuels, to the end that 
the amount of smoke emission and nuisance shall be reduced to a 
minimum. 


The lower half of Form A is then filled out with “ objec- 
tions waived,” and it is then returned to the Inspector of 
Buildings, who may then grant the location in the regular 
manner. It will be seen that by this agreement (Form C), 
signed by the applicant, the Superintendent of Streets ob- 
tains control over the boiler plant so far as smoke nuisance 
is concerned, and, 1 in case this agreement is afterwards vio- 
lated, the permission to operate such a boiler plant may be 
revoked by the Inspector of Buildings, through request of 
the Superintendent of Streets. 

On the other hand, if the Superintendent of Streets is not 
satisfied, after investigation, that the proposed boiler plant 
will comply with the law relating to the smoke nuisance, the 
lower half of Form A is filled out with “ objections renewed.” 

This is then returned to the Inspector of Buildings, and the 
application is thereupon denied. In such a case the appli- 
cant, as a last resource, may apply to the Board of Appeal 
on Boiler Locations, and the decision of this Board is final. 
This Board of Appeal, as now constituted, consists of the 
present Superintendent of Streets; the Chairman of the 
Board of Fire Commissioners, Robert G. Fitch; the Chair- 
man of the Boston Board of Health, Samuel H. Durgin, 
M.D.; and Messrs. George R. Swasey, Arthur H. Everett, 
and William H. Sayward. 

Under the foregoing arrangement, ninety-two notices of 
applications have been received from the Inspector of Build- 
ings. Of this number, in fifty-six cases objections have 


STREET DEPARTMENT. 109 


been waived on account of being mainly hot-water heaters, 
constructed so as to burn hard coal only; in thirty cases, 
the applicant has shown a satisfactory guarantee that proper 
precautions are being taken, and has signed the record-book, 
agreeing to conform to all necessary ‘Yequirements. Three 
cases are still open and await the results of further inquiry. 

While the law is not at present as stringent as desirable, 
there is no doubt that many owners of both large and small 
plants show a decided willingness to comply with such re- 
quirements of the department as will, without unreasonable 
cost, abate the nuisance, and thus contribute to the general 
comforts and good health of the community; but greater 
stringency of law will be required to enforce action upon 
parties who are unwilling to be subjected to any expense 
whatever in the matter, but lean wholly to the item of 
economy, and are loath to incorporate any change, unless it 
can show a saving in their running expenses. In many 
plants the local conditions are such that the element of 
economy can readily become a factor of reasonable promise, 
but if those conditions will not admit of changes in the 
direction of economy, then it is surely the duty of the owner 
to offset his unavoidably cramped conditions with the adop- 
tion of some relieving expedient, even though it may at the 
same time subject him to a slightly increased expense. 


CONCLUSION. 


Allusion has been made in the foregoing report to the 
most important portions of the work of the year, but the 
limited space allotted to an executive report of this kind 
precludes the mention of numerous other features that would 
bear discussion. 

In the appendices which follow, however, detail items 
may be found, arranged in convenient form, of such street 
and sewer construction as seemed of sufficient importance 
to merit special mention. 

The table of former superintendents and document num- 
bers of the annual reports at the end (Appendix F) will be 
found of convenient reference for general use in connection 
with the history of department work in past years.

BRIDGE DIVISION. 
14 Beacon STREET, 
Boston, February 1, 1895. 
Mr. B. T. WHEELER, Superintendent of Streets: 
Dear Sir: I herewith respectfully submit the following report 


of the acts and expenditures of the Bridge Division from February 


1, 1894, to January 31, 1895. There was allotted for the care, 
maintenance, etc., of the bridges during this period the sum of 
$125,000, which by reason of the opening of L-street bridge to 
public travel, and in consequence of necessary work performed 


on Charles-river bridge that it might be used as a thoroughfare, 


was found to be insufficient to the amount of $5,787.21. Thus 
the total sum regularly expended on the bridges and charged to 
this division was $130,787.21. 

The total number of bridges in Boston, not including culverts, 
is one hundred and twelve; four of these, viz., Harvard, Canal, 
Prison Point, and West Boston bridges, all connecting Cambridge, 
are in the care of two commissioners, one of whom is appointed 
by the city of Boston and the other by the city of Cambridge. 


‘The remainder are under the supervision of this division, and are 


thus tabulated: Thirty-four are wholly supported by railroad 
corporations, and seventy-eight are supported wholly or in part by 
the city of Boston. Included in this number are twenty-three 
tide-water bridges, provided with draws. The increase of two 
bridges consists of one at Audubon road, over Brookline branch 


of the Boston & Albany Railroad, and Florence street, over 


Stony brook. 

Of the tide-water bridges there are eleven of great importance, 
viz., Meridian street (horse power), Chelsea North and Chelsea 
South (both steam power), Malden (man power), Warren, Charles 
River, Congress, L-street, and Broadway (all steam power), 
Federal and Dover streets (both electricity). 

The condition of Malden, Charles-river draw, Broadway, and 


Congress-street bridges is unsatisfactory and require most careful 


attention. . 

Charles-river bridge was closed to team travel July 18, 1894, at 
1.45 P.M., as it was considered dangerous. Extensive repairs, 
under the supervision of the City Engineer’s Department, were 
performed under contract, and the bridge was reopened to team

travel on October 16, 1894, at 9 A.M. The draw, however, is 
still in very bad shape, as its foundation is much decayed. 

Chelsea-street bridge is in process of rebuilding and will be com- 
pleted in afew weeks. Dover-street bridge has been completed and 
is in running order, giving complete satisfaction. L-street bridge 
has also been opened to public travel during the year. 

Embodied in the report will be found a detailed statement of 
the expenditures and a description of the work performed on each 
bridge ; also a tabulated arrangement of those bridges supported 
wholly or in part by the city of Boston; widths of draw openings, 
widths of bridges, roadway, and sidewalks; kind of pavement 
used ; number of draw openings made for navigation, and a census 
of .traffic taken on some of the most important bridges, October 8, 
1894, as a comparison with that taken in April, 1891, June, 1892, 
and September, 1893. 

The inland bridges have been carefully looked after, and special 
effort has been made to keep them safe and clean. They have 
been thoroughly swept each week and scupper-holes have been 
kept free and clear. The operatives of the tide-water bridges 
have perfor med their duties in an efficient manner and have kept 
their piers and premises in a safe condition, and no accidents have 
been reported that could in any way be charged to the negligence 
or carelessness of the draw-tenders or their assistants. 

The material used for repairs has been of good quality, and the 
delivery of the same in the different districts by those having 
the contracts has been prompt and efficient, causing no delay for 
the proper performance of the work. 

As formerly, the same care has been exercised to keep on hand 
duplicate sets of gearing, and many times during the year this 
precaution has lessened public inconvenience.

The report contains a description of work performed and expen- 
ditures on several bridges, sO for which was provided from

There have been 12,070 notices sent to the various foremen, to

police, or from other sources; also 1,934 to private parties, to 
repair work which had been improperly done by them, where they 
have received permits to open the streets, and to owners of estates 
where there are coal-holes or Hyatt lights. 

In accordance with section 8, chapter 36, Revised Ordinances of 
1892, 1,655 notices have been sent to the foremen of the several 
districts, directing them to make necessary repairs where parties 
making openings have neglected to attend to them within a speci- 
fied time, after being notified to do so. 

Three hundred and eighty-nine notices have been sent to depart- 
ments, corporations, and abutters, regarding proposed street im- 
provements during the year. There have been 307 new bonds filed 
during the year; also 591 applications referred to the Police De- 
partment, asking for information regarding locations where per- 
sons have asked for permits to sell fruit, etc., from windows, 
bulkheads, and areas, and the granting or refusal has generally 
been governed by the recommendations received. ‘The same 
course has been pursued in cases of individuals desiring to occupy 
sidewalks for more than ten minutes to load or unload goods.

HousE-OFFAL. 


There are employed in removing house-offal 195 men and 91 
wagons. ‘The offal is removed from dwelling-houses twice a week 
during the summer months and once a week during the winter ; 
from hotels, markets, and restaurants it is removed daily. There 
are sixty-two routes. The men are required to enter the yards, 
collect the offal, and empty the same into wagons, then drive to 
one of the depots, located as follows: One on Albany street, one 
on Highland street, Roxbury, and one at the Almshouse, Charles- 
town; also to the dumping-boat wharf on Atlantic avenue. 

The offal is sold to farmers of adjoining towns mostly; the 
balance is dumped on the scow and carried to sea. About 10 per 
cent. of the quantity collected during the past year has been dis- 
posed of in this manner. 

During the past year the collection of house-offal in the Dor- 
chester District was let out by contract; this makes three districts 
let out by contract for the collection of house-offal. 

The New England Construction Company made an agreement 
during the year to dispose of all house-offal collected under the 
McShane contract at the rate of $2,500 per year; their plant 
was erected on land owned by the city of Boston on Gibson 
street, Dorchester, and is now in running order. 


HousE—DIRT AND ASHES. 


In the collection of house-dirt and ashes there are employed 
207 men and 159 carts. This material is removed from hotels, 
tenement-houses, and stores daily; from dwelling-houses once a 
week. There are eighty-two regular routes. The City Ordinances 
of 1892 require that house-dirt and ashes shall be kept in an easy, 
accessible place for removal, the men being obliged to enter yards 
and areas, remove receptacles to the sidewalk, where their con- 
tents are loaded upon teams. The receptacle is then replaced in 
its original position. The material is disposed of, if possible, on 
low lands, being used for filling, and also dumped on scows to be 
carried to sea. Of the amount collected last year, 29 per cent. 
was disposed of at sea. 

Three sections of the city were let out by contract, to wit: 
territory lying west of Dorchester street, South Boston, part of 
Dorchester lying north of Park, School, and Harvard streets. also 
East Boston ; making a total of six ash contract districts.

ALE IN DEX 1D: 


REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF 
THE SEWER DIVISION. 


City Hatt, Room 44, Bosron, February 1, 1895. 


Mr. B. T. Wueerer, Superintendent of Streets: 


Sir: The following report of the expenses, income, and busi- 
ness of the Sewer Division, from February 1, 1894, to February 
1, 1895, together with a brief statement of the present condition 
of the sewers and other property, the work done this year, and 
what should be done in the near future that the efficiency of the 
sewers may be improved, is respectfully submitted. 

The Sewer Division has charge of the following work : 

1. The maintenance and construction of all common sewers and 
catch-basins. 

2. The maintenance of the Main Drainage Works. 

3. The maintenance of Stony brook. 

4. The maintenance and construction of all street culverts. 

5. The preparation of plans and the engineering and super- 
vision required on the construction and maintenance of all work 
connected with the division. 

6. The granting of permits for all connections to be made with 
the common sewers, and the custody of bonds filed by drain- 
layers authorized to make such connections. 

7. The levying of assessments on estates benefited by the con- 
struction of sewers. 

Ninety thousand eight hundred and two (90,802) lin. ft. of 
sewers have been built during the past year by the city, and 
twenty-four thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven (24,877) 
lin. ft. have been built by private parties according to the plans 
and under the inspection of this division and accepted by the city 
under the usual forms of release. 


City Proper anp Back Bay Drstricts. 


The sewers in Hull, Beverly, Commercial, Fayette, Falmouth, 
and Caledonia streets are broken down or settled to such an extent 
as to require rebuilding. 

The main sewer in the two streets last named is very badly 
settled and has been shored up for years; if it fall in, it will cut 
off the drainage of a considerable territory. 

The sewers in the Canal-street district remain in practically the 


Zoe City Documenn No. 34. 


same condition as they have been since 1883, filled with sewage 
and sludge. ‘The level of the sewage in the system has been low- 
ered a little by the building of the sewer in Lancaster street last 
season, and will be reduced a little more upon the completion of 
the sewer in Merrimac street now building, but the benefit so 
obtained must be considered as a slight relief only, not a remedy. 
The condition of this system of sewers was fully discussed in the 
report for 1891, to which reference is made. ‘The building of the 
relief sewer therein described, across the city, has been postponed 
on account of the uncertainty in regard to the proposed subway, 
the route of which crosses that of the proposed sewer. But the 
work need not be longer deferred, as the plans for the subway are 
now sufliciently well defined as to show that, if built, it will only 
cause an unimportant deviation in the route of the sewer. There 
is no other large district in the city in which the sewers are in 
such a deplorable condition; the fact that much of it is occupied 
by tenement-houses makes the case worse. 

In 1888-89 a large main sewer was built from Fort Point 
Channel through Mt. Washington avenue, Federal and Essex 
streets, to the corner of Kingston street, intercepting at this point 
the heavy flow of sewage and storm water which formerly flooded 
out the district in the vicinity of Beach street. The underlying 
idea was to isolate the Beach-street district from the rest of the 
system, and connect it directly with the intercepting system, in 
the same manner as the Dover and Dedham streets district have 
been treated, so that it, like them, might receive the benefit of 
direct connection with the pumps, and its low cellars be thereby 
ensured against flooding. An essential feature of the scheme is to 
shift the district regulator from Dover street to a point upon the 
east side interceptor north of Beach street, and to build small regu- 
lators at the connections of the Harvard and the Oswego streets 
sewers. 

These three regulators have not been built; the system, there- 
fore, does not operate as designed. Moreover, the Harvard-street 
sewer, where it crosses the interceptor, is reduced in size. The plan 
for the regulator at this point comprises~an enlargement of the 
sewer; the fact that cellars in this district have been flooded dur- 
ing storms shows that such enlargement is necessary. 

The work of building these three regulators, to complete the 
system, although difficult and expensive, should not longer be 
delayed. 

Incidentally it should be mentioned that the old wooden 4 x 5 
ft. box sewer in Federal street, now practically unused, should be 
filled with gravel in order to ensure the safety of the street, as it 
will rot and fall in. 

Attention has been repeatedly called to the condition of the 
sewerage of the Faneuil Hall markets; plans are ready for a satis- 
factory system, and the work should be done before warm weather. 

Throughout the greater portion of the Back Bay territory the — 
sewers have been built in the passageways between the main 
streets, instead of in the main streets, as in the remainder of the 
city. ‘This system, although an excellent one as far as conven-

ience in sewering the houses is concerned, and in preserving the 
surface of the streets from being dug up in putting in house con- 
nections, has this. defect, that it supplies nothing for the drainage 
of catch-basins in the streets. 

In many places catch-basins have been needed for many years, 
but have not been built because there was no sewer in the street t- 
drain them into; an investigation of this matter has been made 
by this office, in consultation with the City Surveyor’s office, and 
an estimate made of the number of catch-basins and amount of 
surface drainage needed to make up those deficiencies. 

One hundred and thirty-three catch-basins and 7,000 linear feet 
of pipe sewers and surface drains will give an adequate system of 
surface drainage for the public streets of the Back Bay. 

The four principal systems of sewers in the Back Bay, whose 
outlets are at Berkeley, Dartmouth, Fairfield, and Hereford streets, 
have very little storage capacity, and there have been complaints 
of flooded cellars during unusually heavy storms which occur at 
the time of high tide. ‘The overflow outlets of these systems into 
Charles river should be enlarged, including the tide-gates, and 
considerable relief would be afforded in this manner. 

In Charlesgate East there are twelve catch-basins connected 
with the sewer, which is a tributary of the Hereford-street system ; 
these should be disconnected, and connected into the covered chan- 
nel of Stony brook which lies i in the same street. A large amount 
of surface water would be kept out of the sewers by this inexpen- 
sive change. 

No sewer has been built as yet to drain the houses on the water 
side of Beacon street, and the sewage of these houses continues to 
pollute the water of Charles river. A plan has been made for a 
sewer in the passageway on the bank of the river, but nothing 
built yet except the connection with the Beacon-street sewer at 
the corner of Hereford street. 

If a boulevard is to be built on the bank of the river, this sewer 
can be built more cheaply in conjunction with it; if not, it. might 
as well be built at once. 

Wherever there is a sewer outlet into a dock the city is periodi- 
cally called upon to pay damages on account of the shoaling of 
the dock, caused, it is alleged, by the material thrown into it by 
the sewer. Where the common sewers are not intercepted, but 
flow continuously into the docks during dry weather, there is some 
ground for this claim; but around the city proper, the common 
sewers have all been tapped by interceptors and the dry-weather 
flow conveyed away, and nothing flows out of the old outlets 
except during storms, and then the flow consists of storm water 
and greatly diluted sewage only. 

Yet, nevertheless, in numerous cases it becomes necessary to 
dredge a dock in which a sewer outlet exists ; the city is invited to 
pay the bill, and if it refuse it has to stand suit. ‘These suits are 
hard to defend, because it is difficult to make a jury understand 
the operation of the common sewers as affected by the intercept- 
ing system. The most conspicuous facts are, that there is a sewer 
which sometimes flows into the dock, and that dock has become 


254 ‘ty Document No. 34. 


partially filled up; and it is impossible to distinguish between 
deposits caused by a sewer and the ordinary shifting silt of the 
harbor. , 

A systematic series of observations should be made, extending 
over a series of Sh onis to determine the rate at which docks silt 
up where there is a sewer outlet and where there is none. The 
subject furnishes a strong argument in favor of the public owner- 
ship of docks. 


Work done during 1894. 


Five thousand three hundred and seventy-seven linear feet of 
sewers have been built by the city, either by contract or day labor, 
and 160 feet by private parties. 

In Dover street there is an old wooden box sewer 5x6 ft. 
which has been in very bad condition for over fifteen years; the 
illustration shows a section of it thrown over to one side and 
wrecked. As it did not actually fall in, it was not rebuilt; but 
when the raising of the Dover-street bridge made it necessary to 
grade Dover street up, it was not thought judicious to put any 
more weight upon it without strengthening it. It was therefore 
decided to line it with masonry or build a brick sewer inside of it. 
The photograph shows a section of this work. Where the old 
sewer was found: to be tipped over and thrown off line too much, 
for this it was opened up from the surface and rebuilt in open cut, 
more piles being driven to furnish a foundation wherever necessary. 

A new sewer has been built in Lancaster street, and one is in 
progress at this time in Merrimac street, which connects with the 
west side intercepting sewer, and will lower the level of the water 
in the Canal-street system of sewers to some extent. 


CHARLESTOWN. 


The Hoosac Tunnel Dock outlet, a large wooden box sewer, has 
been repaired, and sewers built in Mishawam and Boyle streets. 

The Somerville branch of the Metropolitan sewer having been 
completed in Arlington avenue, the system of sewers projected in 
the Alfred-street district may and should now be built. 

The connections with the Metropolitan, eleven in number, 
should also be made this year. ‘There are a large number of old 
defective sewers, built of slate, wood, and brick, which should be 
rebuilt, as they are not fit to be connected with the Metropolitan 
system on account of the quantities of ground water which they 
admit. 


Work done during 1894. 


Four hundred and twenty-two linear feet of sewers was built by 
the city, none by private parties, and nothing requiring special 
attention. 

. East Boston. 
Jeffries, Decatur, and Brooks streets outlets should be rebuilt,

sewage escapes along its entire length, and is distributed over the 
flats. 

Repairs on this old box sewer are expensive and ineffectual, as 
the ice of the succeeding winter strains it apart again. It should 
be rebuilt of wood, upon a substantial pile foundation, and of 
such size and form as to serve subsequently as the foundation for 
a brick sewer. All the ashes collected by the Sanitary Division 
in Exust Boston should be hauled to it, to form an embankment to 
protect the new structure from the ice, and when such embank- 
ment has attained the proper size and solidity, the permanent 
brick sewer may be built. 

The Havre-street sewer, between Meridian and Sumner, has not 
been rebuit, as recommended last year, but should be this year. 

Last year’s report stated that work was about to be started on 
an outlet sewer for Leyden street, west of Breed street; this was 
postponed, and has not been done, but should be built without 
further delay, as a large number of houses on this street lack 
sewerage. 

‘The new main sewer in Chelsea street, near Chelsea-street 
bridge, also mentioned last year, should be built, as it will afford 
an outlet to a number of neighboring streets. 

A connection with the Metropolitan intercepting sewer has been 
allowed at the corner of Orleans and Gove streets, at the request 
of this department, and the Orleans-street sewer has been started. 

This sewer will do away with the damming up of the sewers at 
this point, and will convey the storm water from a large section 
directly to the Porter-street outlet, thereby relieving the over- 
crowded condition of the sewer in Bremen street to some extent. 
This relief will be complete when the Porter-street outlet is rebuilt 
of adequate size. 

The building of the Metropolitan intercepting sewers in Bremen 
and Porter streets has caused some damage to the common sewers 
in those streets. 

When the back filling in these trenches has become sufficiently 
well settled these sewers will need repairing, and the arch of a 
portion of the Bremen-street sewer will have to be rebuilt. 

The Metropolitan intercepting sewers being now practically 
completed, connections may be made; the ordinary regulators and 
sump manholes will have to be put in at each connection, of 
‘ which there are twelve, which may be built this year, and three 
more after building 2,500 feet of pipe sewer in Condor, Glendon, 
and Eagle streets. 


Work done during 1894. 


Thirteen hundred and twenty-three linear feet of sewers have 
been built by the city; none by private parties. 

Morrison’s wharf outlet has been repaired, and a row of piles 
have been driven along the edge of the wharf as far as the sewer 
extends to protect it from the action of the ice, by which it has 
been injured, more or less, every winter in the past. 

Eagle-square outlet, which was nearly choked up by the banks 
of filling near by, has been extended 250 feet, which is suflicient 
for the present. 


256 Crry DocumEntT No. 34. 


The Paris-street sewer, from Wesley to Edgeworth place, has 
been rebuilt. Many complaints have been received on account of 
the settlement and breaking down of this sewer. 


BRIGHTON DISTRICT. 


The main sewers for the systems for the western part of the dis- 
trict — called the Faneuil Valley system — having been built, any 
streets requiring sewers in this vicinity may now be accommodated. 
A branch main sewer has just been started on Lake street. This 
sewer will receive eventually the sewage from a large tract of land 
in Newton; and as this city is sewered upon a separate principle, 
it has been found expedient to build the Lake-street sewer upon 
the same principle, although the remainder of the system is built 
upon the combined principle, supplemented by relief overflows for 
storm water into the water-courses at all convenient points. 

Hobart street and the streets upon Bigelow Hill may now be 
drained. 

A sewer should be built in Nonantum street, between Oak 
square and the Newton line. ‘The sewage from the houses on the 
west side of the street must at present seep out of cesspools or 
flow over the surface from privies into the brook at Tremont street. 

On Commonwealth avenue everything necessary for drainage of 
any kind has been built as far as Warren street, except a few 
catch-basins near the latter street, and except the structures re- 
quired in that part of the avenue crossing the marshy hollow just 
west of Cottage Farm station, where the settlement of the filling 
has not yet ceased. 

The outlet sewer for this whole Commonwealth-avenue system, 
known as the Salt Creck outlet, from the Boston & Albany Rail- 
road to the Metropolitan sewer, will require strengthening. ‘The 
soil of the marsh through which it is built is of very light and 
spongy character; and the covering of this material — which was 
the only material accessible without considerable expense — has 
not proved to have sufficient weight to afford the lateral support 
to the sewer which is necessary. 

The district bounded by Chestnut Hill avenue, Union street, 
Washington street, Commonwealth avenue, and Sidlaw road is 
being cut up into streets by the Westminster Land Company. 
Part of this district will drain into Union street and Chestnut Hill’ 
avenue; and the sewers in these streets will afford but a poor out- 
let for the new sewers to be built in this district, on account of the 
fact that they are overcharged now far beyond their capacity by 
the admission of the water of the brook which flows through this 
valley. Unless this surface water is excluded from the sewers and 
restored to the brook channel, it will probably be necessary to 
sewer this district with an expensive separate system of house 
sewers and surface drains. 

The remainder of the district will drain into Commonwealth 
avenue, near Chestnut Hill avenue, and eventually into Brookline. 

The district between Commonwealth avenue, Washington street, 
Chestnut Hill avenue, and the Brookline line has many streets 


STREET DEPARTMENT — SEWER Division. 257 
laid out by the Aberdeen Land Company. Some of these streets 
have surface drains, and one street, viz., Englewood avenue, has 
a sewer built by the city. This whole district drains into Brook- 
line, and must be provided with house sewers and surface drains. 


Work done during 1894. 


Thirty-two thousand six hundred and sixty-four linear feet of 
sewers have been built by the city, and 377 feet by private parties. 
This includes the mains of the Faneuil Valley system, and the 
practical completion of the sewers and surface drains of Common- 
wealth avenue as far as Warren street, and of the outlet sewer for 
the system. 
Souta Boston. 


The main sewer in Dorchester avenue, from its outlet at Fort 
Point Channel to Broadway, should be rebuilt, the portion between 
First street and Broadway being entirely rotten. 

The sewer outlets on the southern shore of the peninsula, at N, 
K, I, and H streets, have all been destroyed by ice. ‘The one at 
N street should be rebuilt immediately, after the pattern of the 
outlet at Denny street, Savin Hill. The building of the others 
may be delayed until the Park Department has deposited part of 
the filling for the proposed boulevard, which will protect them. 

Defective outlets at B and Seventh streets, and at D street, 
cause trouble in the sewers of the south-western part of the penin- 
sula. A comprehensive plan for uniting these and rebuilding the 
defective D-street sewer has been prepared by this department. 
This plan is also a means of draining effectively the depressed 
part of D street, at the Old Colony Railroad crossing. 

The South Boston intercepting sewer has no proper overflow for 
relief when shut off from the main intercepter by the regulator. 

A plan has been prepared for such an overflow sewer upon the 
location of the old Kemp-street sewer. The sewer in Mercer 
street should be rebuilt of larger size, to do away with flooding of 
cellars on Mercer and Yale streets. 


Work done during 1894. 


Three hundred and fifty-eight linear feet of sewers have been 
built by the city, and none by private parties. Nothing requiring 
special mention. 

DorcHeEster District. 


A sewer system is needed for the northern half of the Savin Hill 
peninsula similar to the system built in the southern half; that is,, 
a separate system of house and storm sewers. The house-sewer’ 
system would connect with the Dorchester intercepter in Sydney 
street. 

At Dorchester Lower Mills advantage has been taken of the 
completion of the Lower Mills main sewer to build sewers in some 
of the streets ; but there are other streets which need sewering, and 
which may now be sewered, such as River, Monson, and Idaho 
streets, and parts of Temple, Morton, and Washington streets. 


258 Crry Document No. 34. 


Between Lawrence and Geneva avenues a main sewer will have 
to be built through private land parallel with Blue Hill avenue, and 
crossing Stanwood avenue. Geneva avenue, between Wilder 
street and Washington street, cannot be sewered until this main is 
built. The Lauriat and Chapman avenues district, also the Nelson 
and Corbet streets district (sometimes called the Forest-avenue 
district), continue to call for sewers, and up to the present time, 
in vain. The difficulty of sewering this district, and the various 
_routes by which it may be done, were very fully discussed in the 
report of the Street Department for 1892. 

In short, it involves a low, level sewer, starting at the Dorches- 
ter intercepting sewer and running through Park and West Park 
streets, cutting through the bounding ridge of the Stony brook 
water-shed in tunnel, and costing, for a rough estimate, $250,000. 
As any tunnel sewer to reach this district would take several 
years to build, it was also proposed. to erect a small pumping- 
station, and pump the sewage of this district into the Talbot- 
avenue sewer, as a temporary expedient. 

A petition was received in 1893 that this scheme be carried out ; 
there does not seem to be any other means of affording sewerage 
to this region within a reasonable time. 

An effort has recently been made to have a sewer built up 
Morton street, cutting through the ridge low enough to sewer 
Nelson and Corbet streets, leaving the rest of the district out. 
The objections to this plan are the large expense to be incurred 
for only a partial solution of the problem, and the fact that the 
sewer would have to be built for a long distance through an unin- 
habited country where nobody needs it. 

A sewer has been projected through Adams and Rosemont 
streets, to drain all that valley, afford better sewerage to Car- 
lisle street, and make it practicable to build a sewer in Mel- 
bourne street, and also incidentally to relieve the overcrowded 
Centre-street sewer by withdrawing a portion of its flow through 
Carlisle street; this important main is badly needed. 


Work done during 1894. 


Fifteen thousand and seventeen linear feet of sewers have been 
built by the city, and 17,036 linear feet by private parties. The 
Dorchester Lower Mills main sewer has been completed, and 
lateral sewers may now be built throughout the village of Lower 
Mills. 

A sewer is under construction in Geneva avenue, between 
Bowdoin and Wilder streets, which will afford an outlet for a num- 
ber of streets between this avenue and Washington street.

The Harrison-avenue and Northampton-street sewers are settled 
so badly as to make it impossible for workmen to have access to 
them to clean them out, unless a steam-pump should be used to 
keep the water down; they should be rebuilt. 

As these sewers lie upon unusually deep beds of mud, pile 


STREET DEPARTMENT — SEWER DIVISION. 259 


foundations would be very expensive ; a form of construction simi- 
lar in principle to that employed on Fellow street might be used. 
This Fellows-street sewer was a pipe sewer upon the same kind of 
a mud bed. It was relaid last year, supported by a wide timber 
platform having a longitudinal stringer upon each side, which was 
built up in the trench of strips forming a continuous built-up beam 
A recent examination showed it to be in good condition, not hay- 
ing settled appreciably under the weight of the back-fill. Harrison 
avenue and Northampton street require sizes too large for pipe, 
but the plan could be modified to adapt it to the support of a 
brick sewer. 

The sewers in Halleck and Ward streets should be rebuilt. 

The sewer in Huntington avenue, between Rogers avenue and 
Gainsborough street, which was built in 1882, is in a very dangerous 
condition, the arch in some cases being flattened to the level of 
the springing-line ; also, the manholes are in a very dangerous con- 
dition. 

Unless this sewer is attended to very soon it will probably cave 
in, as the electric cars running on the avenue cause a very notice- 
able vibration inside the sewer. 

In the district bounded -by Hammond, Tremont, Lenox streets 
and Shawmut avenue the cellars are but little above the level of 
the sewers, and are flooded by the surface water which enters the 
sewers in storms. 

A plan has been prepared for building new house sewers at a 
lower level, utilizing the existing sewers for surface water, thus 
developing a separate system for this district; but nothing has 
been built. 

Another district, bounded by Culvert, Tremont, and Davenport 
streets, and the Providence Division of the New York, New 
Haven, & Hartford Railroad, is in a similar condition, and a 
similar plan was worked up for it. The extension of Columbus 
avenue now cuts through this territory ; the plan has been modified 
to suit the change, and some of the sewers required will be built 
in constructing that avenue. 

There are numerous sources of pollution along the old channel 
of Stony brook between Huntington avenue and the Roxbury 
crossing which cannot be removed until pipe sewers are built on 
each side of the brook channel back of the walls, and in some 
places in the bottom of the channel itself. 

This subject was thoroughly discussed in the report of 1892. 

About 3,050 linear feet of pipe sewers will be required; none 
have been built. 

Dorchester- brook sewer has been built from the South bay to 
the point where it leaves Norfolk avenue, running through private 
land from Clifton street. 

The new brick channel should be extended about 600 feet, as 
this portion of the old sewer is a stone arched channel, with no 
covering over the arch, and so small that the floods sometimes 
crack and lift the arch. 

Complaints have beer received at various times of floodings in 
Guild row; a plan was prepared several years ago for extending 


260 Crry Document No. 34. 


the large Vernon-street sewer up to Washington street to remedy 
the trouble; but it has never been built. 

At Notre Dame street there is much trouble from flooding ; the 
sewers here are too small; an overflow into an old water-course 
now fails to give relief, because of the partial obliteration of the 
latter. 

The extension of Columbus avenue will afford an opportunity to 
build a relief sewer for this vicinity. 

The sewer in Vila street is the main for quite a large territory ; 
it connects with the Metropolitan sewer, but has no overflow. 
Before any catch-basins can be connected with this sewer or its 
tributaries it should have a storm-overflow sewer built to connect. 
it with the cover channel of Muddy river in Brookline avenue. 


Work done during 1594. 


Twenty-two thousand four hundred and forty-seven linear feet 
of sewers have been built by the city, and 2,807 feet by private 
parties. A large main sewer is in progress in Massachusetts. 
avenue, east of the Roxbury canal, which will afford sewerage to 
a large territory bounded by Swett and Magazine streets, Norfolk 
avenue and Gerard street. In Parker street a brick sewer has 
been built from Bryant street to Westland avenue, which is low 
enough to be extended, and furnish an outlet for sewers in the 
low territory lying between Parker street, Massachusetts avenue, 
and Westland avenue. 


West Roxspury DIstTrRIctT. 


The district in the vicinity of South, Anson, and St. Mark 
streets should be sewered, the outlet sewer to run through private 
land from South street to Washington street, there to connect 
with the Roslindale main sewer. It will cross the location of the 
Providence R.R., and this section at least must be built before 
the tracks are raised. 

Another branch of the Roslindale main sewer should be carried 
from the northerly of the two intersections of South and Washing- 
ton streets to the extreme north-westerly point of Florence street, 
in order to afford sewerage to Florence, Sycamore, Brooks, and 
Ashland streets and the neighborhood of Mt. Hope Station. 

North of Roslindale Village lies the neighborhood of Hewlett 
and Arundel streets, a swampy region, unsuited to cesspools. 
Sewers should be built here; the petitions date back to 1886. 

At the request of interested citizens the grade of the sewer 
being built in Maple street, from the main sewer in Centre street, 
was depressed, and the sewer run through the divide low enough 
to take a part of the territory lying on the Charles-river side of 
the ridge. Portions of Weld, Ruskin, Pomfret, Westover, Wil- 
low, Corey streets, and Garfield avenue may now be drained 
into it. 

The only other region in West Roxbury calling for special 


STREET DEPARTMENT — SEWER DIVISION. 261 


mention is the valley of the Spring-street brook. This is quite 
thickly settled, and its sewage pollutes the above-mentioned brook, 
which flows into Charles river above the point where Brookline, 
Newton, Needham, Wellesley, and Waltham get their water-supply. 
A scheme of pumping the sewage of this place back over the ridge 
into the Roslindale main sewer at Mt. Vernon street has been 
recommended by this department as a temporary expedient, to last 
until such time as an intercepting sewer can be built down the 
valley of Mother brook and the Neponset river to join the 
Dorchester intercepter at Central avenue. Ina recent report by 
Mr. Jackson, City Engineer, on the drainage of the Charles-river 
water-shed in West Roxbury, the pumping scheme is condemned, 
for various good and suflicient reasons, as a permanent solution of 
the question. 

It was not recommended as a permanent solution, but only as a 
temporary expedient. It appears from the City Engineer’s report 
that it will require about 74 miles of intercepting sewer to be built, 
at a cost of $380,000 (exclusive of land damages) to reach Spring 
street; and: will require the concurrent action of Boston, Hyde 
Park, and Dedham, probably practicable only by action of the Leg- 
islature. In view of the length of time likely to elapse before this 
can be accomplished, it would still seem that the pumping scheme 
offers the only means of relieving this district within a reasonable 
time. Upon the completion of the intercepter the local sewers 
would all drain into it, and the pumping would be discontinued ; 
the only portion of the system which would then be useless would 
be the force main; the system of local sewers would be sub- 
‘stantially the same as recommended by the City Engineer. 

The question of the advisability of building this pumping 
system depends wholly upon the length of time during which it is 
likely to be in use, that is, whether this time is likely to be long 
enough to justify us in incurring the expense of the temporay 
portions of the scheme; namely, the force main and the pumping 
plant. This time will be the time which will elapse between the 
completion of the intercepter by way of the valley of Mother 
brook. 


Work done during 1894. 


Thirteen thousand one hundred and ninety-four linear feet of 
sewers have been built by the city, and 4,497 feet by private 
parties. A branch of the Roslindale main sewer has been carried 
across the tracks of the Dedham Branch R.R. at Highland 
Station, to form an outlet for Clement avenue, Park and Bellevue 
and contiguous streets. 


Main DRAINAGE WORKS. 


The amount of sewage handled by this branch of the Sewer 
Division is increasing quite rapidly, not only by the amount due to 
the annual increase in the mileage of the common sewers of the 
city, but by the addition of the systems of the suburban districts 
in the Charles-river valley. During the last two years the sewer 


262 Crry Document No. 34. 


systems of Brookline, Brighton, Newton, Watertown, and Wal- 
' tham have been added, and the town of Milton, in the Neponset. 
valley, is looking for accommodation shortly. 

The amount of sewage from these districts will increase annually, 
and unless action is taken very soon towards increasing the pump- 
ing capacity of the plant at the pumping-station the pumps will not. 
be able to handle properly the sewage coming to them. 

It will take two years to get a new pump built, set up, and in 
operation, if action in the matter is taken immediately, and the 
urgency of it can be seen from the fact that even the average 
daily amount pumped last year is 70% of the capacity of the 
plant when all the pumps are working, and it is sometimes neces- 
sary to shut down a pump for repairs for a week at a time. 

A high-level intercepting sewer was included in the original 
design of this system, to be built when the increase in the amount 
of sewage should show the necessity for it. It consists of a sys- 
tem of intercepting sewers to be built through Dorchester, Rox- 
bury, and Brighton, that will intercept all the sewage above grade 
40 and earry it to the outlet at Moon island by gravity. 

Although attention has been called to this in a previous report. 
no action has been taken-towards providing for its construction. 
It should be considered without delay, as it would help relieve the 
pumps of the present tax upon their capacity. 

The force in charge of the main and intercepting sewers has 
been taxed to keep up with their work for the last year. The 
addition of a number of new connections to the system has in- 
creased greatly the amount of ironwork to look after, and the 
points that have to be inspected during every storm. The head-. 
quarters of this force, on Massachusetts avenue, should be put in 
proper condition. The men have to be on duty regardless of the 
weather, and the buildings are entirely inadequate for their use 
and comfort. 

At the pumping-station the condition of the plant has been con- 
siderably improved since the last report. While, owing to a lack 
of appropriation, but a small part of the repairs necessary to put 
the plant in proper working condition have been done, still those: 
that have been made are such that the cost of pumping has been 
reduced considerably. 

The renewals of the valve seats of the pumps have been com- 
pleted and the water ends of the pumps are in very good condition. 

The pump records indicate that less sewage was pumped last 
year than the year before, but the reverse is the actual case. The 
discrepancy in the figures is caused by the difference in the slip of 
the pumps in the two years, it being greater in 1893 than in 1894. 

Some of the principal repairs completed are: retubing the 
boilers; new sleeves in pump No. 1; relining of boxes on beam 
centres of No. 3 and No. 4, and of cam shaft on No. 3; new feed- 
water heater and feed pump; new steam-pipe from engine-house 
to filth-hoist ; two new cages and chains at filth-hoist and repairs 
on hydraulics ; re-covering of boilers No. 1 and No. 2, and a part 
of main steam-pipe. 

A few of the repairs that cannot be deferred without liability of 


STREET DEPARTMENT — SEWER DIVISION. 263 


having shut-downs, and the certainty of increased cost of mainten- 
ance, are the refitting of the gallery-gates, rebabbiting of main 
shaft boxes on No. 4 pump, the retubing of reheaters, new valve 
gear on pumps No. 1 and No. 2, and a new supplementary main 
steam-pipe. Without the latter the proper repairs cannot be 
made on the main pipe, as it is continually under a pressure of 100 
pounds to the square inch. 

The wharf needs reflooring, and should be extended about 
seventy feet, as suggested in a previous report. 

The sludge tank, which is of wood, is decaying rapidly, and will 
soon have to be rebuit. 

The last test of the tunnel, to determine its condition as regards - 
deposits, gave a coefficient of 115, which corresponds closely to 
that obtained a year ago. 

The working condition of the plant at Moon island is good, 
with a few exceptions. The whole of the iron fence around the 
reservoir. which is set on the stone coping, had to be removed ‘and 
reset. It is mostly machine-work, and takes considerable time, 
but is nearly completed. 

There has been quite an amount of filling put into the cove, 
near the outlet, to prevent the nuisance caused by the deposit 
formed by the discharge. ‘This trouble would be removed if the 
sea-wall, which is part of the original design of these works, and 
spoken of in previous reports, were built. 

The turbine wheel which works the gallery gates will have to 
be replaced without delay. The sewage has so acted on the iron 
that it is next to useless. 

The gates on the outfall sewer at the reservoir will all have to 
be refitted, as has been done on the discharge gates; but before 
this work can be done the boat chamber in the outfall sewer, which 
has been so much needed for other purposes as well, will have to be 
built. 

New hydrants and piping in the reservoir are necessary, the 
latter having become so thin that breaks are frequent. 


CULVERTS. 


The city has built numerous culverts during the past year in the 
Brighton, Dorchester, and West Roxbury districts. In building 
street culverts the city labors under a great disadvantage, as else- 
where commented upon, from not having control of the water- 
course throughout its entire length. In almost every case the 
bottom of the culvert has to be depressed several feet below the 
general level of the bottom of the brook in order to obtain a 
waterway of sufficient size, and, at the same time, to provide for 
sufficient filling for the roadway over the top of it. The city has 
no right to enter upon private land and deepen the adjacent 
portions of the brook channel a corresponding amount. ‘The con- 
nections of the culverts with the brook channels at each end are, 
therefore, necessarily unsatisfactory, and the culverts become set- 
tling basins, and would speedily become filled with sand and mud 
if not cleaned out. Culverts are usually built at those points in 
the course of the brook where the complaint is loudest of floods 


264 City Document No. 34. 


caused by, the insufficient size of the existing culverts, and the 
building of an enlarged waterway answers its purpose of freeing 
the city of the responsibility of the nuisance at this point; but the 
immediate effect is to transfer the flood to the next insufficient 
culvert down stream; and a new complaint arises, often accom- 
panied by the allegation that the city is responsible for the 
damage, on account of having enlarged the up-stream culvert, and 
thereby let the water flow down more rapidly than it ever had 
before. 

The proper way for the city to proceed, if it had the powers, and 
if funds were available or the cost were assessable, would be, as a 
matter of course, to begin at the outlet of a water-course and 
improve the channel and rebuild the street culverts systematically, 
always proceeding up stream. Another aspect of this subject 
deserves attention. Land-owners, in developing their land for 
building purposes, now proceed to lay out streets or grade those 
laid out by the Board of Survey, and having satisfied the require- - 
ments as to line and grade, obtain their acceptance by the Board 
of Street Commissioners, having meanwhile made only such pro- 
vision (often no provision at all) for water-courses that happen 
to cross the location of their streets as their own judgment and 
penuriousness may suggest. 

As soon as the street is accepted the responsibility for obstruct- 
ing the stream at the crossing of the new street devolves upon the 
city, and entails upon it the expense of building a suitable culvert. 
No street should be accepted by the city until after it has been 
examined by the Superintendent of Streets, and the provisions 
have been made for water-courses, if any, have been sanctioned 
by him. 


Sewer assessments have been made by this division for the year 
ending January 31, 1894, in accordance with Chapter 402 of the 
Acts of 1892, and amendments thereto, to the amount of $154,- 
401.78, and the bills have been deposited for collection with the 
City Collector. 

Bills for sewer assessments, amounting to $4,047.44, have also 
been deposited for collection, representing those estates assessed 
under Chapter 456 of the Acts of 1889 and amendments thereto, 
which have made connection with the public sewers during the 
year; making the total amount of assessments deposited for col- 
lection, $158,449.17. 

There remain on the books of this division at 5 per cent. interest 
$36,422.33, representing the assessments under the Acts of 1889, 
and amendments thereto, for those estates which have not been 
connected with the sewers for which they were assessed, and bills 
for which will be deposited for collection as the connections are 
made. This sum represents 27.5 per cent. of the total assess- 
ments made under those acts. 

Entrance fees to the amount of $2,923.59 have been collected 
from estates upon which no sewer assessment was ever levied, in 
accordance with Chapter 36, Section 10, of the Revised Ordinances. 

Two thousand one hundred and thirteen (2,113) permits have 
been issued to drain-layers to connect house drains with the public

sewers, or to replace old connections ; and the work done under 
these permits has been inspected and a record of same made on 
the plans of this division. 

The following amendments to the law for the assessment of 
sewers in the city of Boston have been passed by the Legislature 
during the year: 


[CHAPTER 227. ] 


An Act RELATIVE TO INTEREST ON SEWER ASSESSMENTS IN THE 
Crry OF BosTON. 


Be it enacted, etc., as follows: 


‘SECTION 1. Section six of chapter four hundred and two of the acts 
of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two is hereby amended by 
adding at the end thereof the following words: ‘‘ provided, that interest 
shall not begin to run upon sewer assessments until after the expiration 
of thirty days from the completion of the sewer on account of which 
the assessment is made” —so as to read as follows: Section 6. The 
provisions of sections sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen of chapter three 
hundred and twenty-three of the acts of the year eighteen hundred and 
ninety-one, and acts in amendment thereof shall, so far as applicable, 
apply to all assessments made under this act: provided, that interest 
shall not begin to run upon sewer assessments. until after the expiration 
of thirty days from the completion of the sewer on account of which 
the assessment is made. 

Sect. 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage. [Approved 
April 11, 1894. ] 


[CHAPTER 256. ] 


AN Act RELATING TO ASSESSMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 
SEWERS IN THE City OF BOSTON. 


Be it enacted, etc., as follows: 


SECTION:1. Section three of chapter four hundred and two of the 
acts of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two is hereby amended by 
inserting in the seventh line, after the word ‘ parcels,” the words: ‘‘ But 
the number of linear feet of any such parcel which has been assessed for 
the building of any other sewer shall be reduced by one hundred in de- 
termining the number of such feet by which the proportions aforesaid 
shall be determined,” so as to read as follows: Section 3. Said superin- 
tendent shall so apportion the said assessable cost to the parcels of land 
aforesaid that the amount apportioned to each parcel shall bear to the 
total assessable cost the proportion which the number of linear feet of 
each parcel on said highway or strip of land bears to the number of such 
linear feet of all such parcels; but the number of linear feet of any such 
parcel which has been assessed for the building of any other sewer 
shall be reduced by one hundred in determining the number of, such 
feet by which the proportions aforesaid shall be determined, and as a lien 
shall attach to the parcel and to any buildings which may be thereon for 
such amount, as a part of the tax on such parcel. Said superintendent 
shall give notice of the amount of every such assessment and the interest 
thereon to the owner of the parcel liable therefor, forthwith after such 
amount has been determined. 

Sect. 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage. [Approved 
April 16, 1894.]

Hon. Epwin U. Curtis,

Sir: The Board of Street Commissioners present the fol- 
lowing as the report of the Street Laying Out Department, 
including a statement relating to public lands under their 
care, for the year ending January 31, 1895: 

Under the several orders for laying out, widening, and 
extending streets, passed by the Board, land to the amount 
of about 3,000,000 square feet was taken for street purposes ; 
the total estimated damages amounted to $1,372,434.40 ; and 
streets having a total mileage of 5.956 were made public. 

The Board has issued ninety-eight orders of notice of their 
intention to lay out, widen, extend, and discontinue streets or 
parts of streets, calling for public hearings; it has received 
and considered one hundred and forty-two petitions, and 
made ninety-seven visits to different sections of the city. 

All applications for building permits are received daily 
from the Inspector of Buildings, and are examined in rela- 
tion to street lines and grades, where alterations are about 
to be made and new buildings erected. 

The following is a complete list of streets released to the 
city, streets widened, relocated, extended, and discontinued, 
with the length of private streets made public, etc.

Essex STREET WIDENED. 


The opportunity allowed by the great fire of March 10, 


1893, to widen Essex street has been taken advantage of, 


the widening has been made, the betterments have been 
assessed, and many of them already very willingly paid. 
The estimated cost of the work was $242,916, and, as in the 
judgment of this Board the total betterment was $84,482, 
private estates have been assessed (under order dated De- 
cember 28, 1894) $42,241. Jn that conflagration the Ames, 
the Drew osamell the Farlow, and other valuable buildings 
were destroyed, and about one-half of the widening on the 
southerly side and a portion of that on the northerly side 
of the street have been done by taking land from estates 
which had been swept by the fire. Essex street had been a 
narrow and an irregular thoroughfare, yet forming a very im- 
portant connection between Washington street and Federal 
street, and giving an almost direct route from the Park

square and Back Bay section to the terminus of the New 
York & New England Railroad. Its width had varied from 
37 to 40 feet, but it is now a 50-foot street from Washington 
street to South street. The amount of traffic which it 
accommodates is very great, and everincreasing. The relief 
afforded by the added width is correspondingly important. 
For the carrying out of the improvement, parts of 23 estates 
were taken. 


Tue Harrison—AVENUE IMPROVEMENT. 


The widening of Harrison avenue between Essex street 
and Beach street is no longer a project but a consummation, 
the work having been finished, all the buildings but two 
that were disturbed by it having been rebuilt, and the better- 
ments having been by this Board assessed. Where there was 
before a narrow, greatly overcrowded way, — irregular, 
because it was of less width than the main portion of the 
avenue of which it formed an inadequate part, — there is now 
a sufficing thoroughfare, connecting Chauncy street and 
Harrison avenue north of Essex street by direct line with 
Beach street and the portion of Harrison avenue which is 
south of Beach street, while modern buildings have taken the 
places of those which stood upon the old street line. The 
section of the avenue which has been thus improved had 
formerly a width of 49 feet at Beach street, 40 feet at Oxford 
place, and 37 feet at its angle, near Essex street. The im- 
provement was secured by widening to the distance of 
about 12 feet on the westerly side, thereby making a uniform 
line with that part of Harrison avenue north of Essex street, 
and then widening on the easterly side on a line 67 feet 
distant from the new westerly line, near Beach street, and 
78 feet distant at a point corresponding with the old angle, 
near Essex street, from which point the new easterly line 
diverged and was continued so as to conform substantially 
to the easterly line of Chauncy street. For the purposes of 
the undertaking, property belonging to twenty-seven differ- 
ent estates was required, and the areas taken from these 
ranged from 58 square feet, at Beach street, to 958 square 
feet, near Essex street. The estimated cost of the widening 
was $298,870. The Board has adjudged the total betterment, 
under order dated November 30, 1894, to be $189,298, and, 
under the Betterment Act (chapter 51 of the Public Statutes), 
the amount assessed upon private property was, therefore, 
$94,649. It is unnecessary to detail the advantages of the 
improvement, for the improvement itself now exhibits them. 
It was not within the province of this Board to undertake 


18 City DocumMEntT No. 35. 


the social purification of a somewhat distrusted district; the 
aim was to accommodate the immense amount of travel pass- 
ing through a street which was not wide enough to accom- 
modate it. Resulting from the carrying out of this purpose, 
the congestion caused by the extensive traffic into and out 
from the Chauncy street and Summer street territory has 
been perceptibly relieved, good buildings have taken the 
place of inferior ones, and there has been. a considerable 
increase in the value ot taxable property. 


THe EXTENSION OF BOYLSTON STREET. 


During the year the commissioners have laid out and 
ordered the construction of an extension of Boylston street, 
at a width of 80 feet, from the Back Bay Fens to Brookline 
avenue. This matter has been before the Board for many 
years, and action was finally taken under a special act, chap- 
ter 339 of the Acts of 1893, slation which 
was secured through the combined efforts of the several 
owners of the large tract of land lying between the Fens and 
Brookline avenue. Exercising a right conferred upon the 
Board by another Act, chapter 462 of the Acts of 1893, — 
which is dealt with elsewhere in this report, — building lines 
were established parallel to and 15 feet from the exterior 
lines of the street, so that when the buildings shall have been | 
erected, the distance between the opposite fronts will be 110 
feet. In ordering the construction, the Board has prescribed 
a gravel roadway, sidewalks of the same material, to be 15 
feet in width, and a sewer fully adequate to the territory 
through which it shall pass, with the necessary house-drains, 
catch-basins, catch-basin drains, manholes, and drop inlets. 
Provision has been made, also, for water-pipes and gas-pipes. 
The extension when completed will be a direct and an agree- 
able way to Brookline, connecting with Audubon road and 
the Riverway. 


ESTABLISHING BurLpinec LINES. 


During the year the commissioners have, for the first 
time, made use of the authority conferred upon them by 
chapter 462 of the Acts of 1893 to establish building lines 
on public ways. By this law they were empowered, when 
giving notice to lay out a public way, to also declare their 
intention to establish a building line parallel to, and not 
more than 25 feet distant from, any exterior line of a high- 
way. The Act contains a damage clause, under which “any 
person sustaining damage by reason of the establishment of 
such building line shall have the same remedies for obtaining

payment therefor as may be prescribed by law for obtaining 
payment for damages sustained by the laying out of a high- 
way.” It was stipulated in the Act that it shall take effect 
in any city when accepted by the City Council. Acceptance 
was duly voted by the City Council of Boston, and the Mayor 
gave his approval October 28, 1893. The first time the 
Board availed itself of the benefits of this law was October 4, 
1894, when it established a building line on the extension of 
Boylston street from the Back Bay Fens to Brookline 
avenue. In this case the action affected only unimproved 
land. In the only other instance of the exercise of the right 
the conditions were different. Complying with a petition 
signed by William S. Dexter, Charles U. Cotting, George 
QO. Shattuck, Howard Stockton, James H. Beal, and others, 
the Board gave numerous hearings on the proposition to 
establish building lines on Beacon street, which proposition 
differed from that entertained in the Boylston-street case, 
because here buildings were already erected. After care- 
fully weighing the testimony offered at the hearings, the 
Board, on January 5, 1895, established, in a series of orders, 
a building line on the northerly side of Beacon street, from 
River street to Massachusetts avenue; and on the southerly 
side, from Arlington street to Massachusetts avenue, the line 
being for the most part 20 feet, north and south, from and 
parallel with the street line. 


CoLUMBUS—AVENUE EXTENSION AND Buur HiItt—AVENUE 
RELOCATION. 


The most extensive improvement ever ordered by the 
_ Board of Street Commissioners is the extension of Colum- 
bus avenue, which, while not costing so much money as was 
expended in the extension of Washington street from Corn- 
hill to Haymarket square, requires the taking of more land 
in the number of square feet and covers a greater extent of 
territory than any previous enterprise of the kind, while 
it will open up and render available greater areas of prop- 
‘erty which had been remote and obscure. By this extension 
5,750 feet are added to the length of public streets, and the 
whole length of the extension from a point near Camden 
street to Franklin Park is 11,046 feet. Pynchon street, 
Seaver street, and a very small portion of Tremont street: 
are taken in, and these, being already public ways, repre-. 
sent the difference between the two sets of figures here 
given. ‘The net addition, or the new part of the extension 
of the avenue, is all through private land. The total number 
of square feet taken is 614,800 feet. This signifies that the 


20) City Document No. 35. 


commissioners have awarded to 179 different estates, on 
which there were about 200 buildings, sums ranging all the 
way from $1 to $36,000 for all damage done tern: The 
total amount of the awards i is $926,986. The extension was 
ordered under the provisions of chapter 416 of the Acts of 
1894 and the acts therein referred to. The procedure has, 
therefore, been different from that followed in the Harrison 
avenue, the Essex street, and other widenings ordered be- 
fore the Act of 1894 went into effect. Working under this 
special act, the commissioners are enabled, after the street 
is constructed, to assess a proportional share of the cost of 
laying out and of construction upon the real estate which 
the Board shall have adjudged receives any benefit and ad- 
vantage from such laying out and construction, beyond the 
general advantages to all real estate in the city, to the extent 
of the total amount of the adjudged benefit and advantage to 
each estate, whether or not a part thereof is taken for the 
highway. As this is the first opportunity property-owners 
shall have had to experience or observe the practical effect of 
this act, it is not surprising that its intent has been in some 
cases misunderstood ; nor may it be irrelevant for the com- 
missioners to point out that it is not their duty to apportion 
among property-owners the total cost of construction, but, in 
fact, to assess to the amounts of the benefits which, in the 
judgment of the commissioners, have accrued. 

The proposition to extend Columbus avenue has been be- 
fore the Board of Street Commissioners for about 21 years. 
The first petition praying for the improvement bore the sig- 
natures of 23 property-owners, one of whom appeared before 
the Board at the last hearing, in 1894, and urged the exten- 
sion in accordance with the idea of the original request, 
which was that Columbus avenue be extended to Tremont 
street at or near the railroad crossing. That petition 
(1874) was very brief, and closed with the assertion, “that 
the need of such an avenue is very great and the present 
time is the most favorable.” Another’ petition, signed by 38 
other property-owners, was submitted in 1876, ‘asking for 
the extension of the avenue southerly to “some point on 
‘Tremont street,” and pointing out that “the need of such 
extension is very pressing,” and, further, “that all improve- 
ments in that section of the city are very injuriously delayed 
until the extension is made.” In other years nine other 
petitions, signed by about 500 property-owners, were pre- 
sented, some asking for the extension of the avenue to 
Ruggles street, and some asking for an extension to points 
beyond. While the Board has always held consistently to 
the opinion that the improvement should have been under-

taken, the necessary money to carry it out was never before 
available. As in the case of the Essex-street widening, the 
Columbus-avenue project was aided by conflagration. The 
great fire of the spring of 1894, that swept the district of 
which Walpole street is nearly the centre, destroyed 20 or 
30 buildings which, without a fire, would have had to be 
taken before the extension could have been made. 

This extension opens up a large amount of back territory 
between Camden street and the Roxbury Crossing ; effects a 
widening of Pynchon street from Tremont street to Centre 
street, from which point it crosses vacant land and Bruns- 
wick avenue to the corner of Washington street and Seaver 
stree ; and, including Seaver 
street, from Washington street, it reaches Walnut avenue at 
Franklin Park. The width of the whole extension is 80 
feet, making a splendid avenue of an almost uniform width 
from Park square to Franklin Park, a distance of about 
17,600 feet. The Board has given a number of hearings on 
this extension — some of them previous to last year —and 
the hearings of 1894 dealt with two distinct propositions : 
First, to come out at Ruggles street; second, to extend to. 
the Roxbury Crossing. The final action followed on the 
line of the order of notice issued for the second hearing. 

_A collateral improvement was the relocation of Seaver 
street from Walnut avenue to Blue Hill avenue, this action 
furnishing a useful and an agreeable connecting way between 
the two oreat avenues, Columbus and Blue Hill. ‘This was 
done under an order of the Board dated December 5, 1894. 
Previously, November 5 of the same year, it had been ordered 
to widen Blue Hill avenue from Grove Hall to the bridge 
over the Neponset river to a width of 120 feet, reserving in 
the middle of the avenue — under authority conferred by 
chapter 324 of the Acts of 1894 — special space for the use 
of street railways and for ornature by grass-plotting. The 
length of this relocation is about 15,000 feet, and 701,729 
square feet of land were taken, of which 289,801 square 
feet, or 6.65 acres, were released to the city by the abutters. 
The estimated expense of this improvement was $76,875. 

How far in advance this important municipal enterprise is 
of the original aspirations of the officials who first laid out 
Blue Hill avenue is clear enough when we look back nearly 
half a century. Blue Hill avenue was formerly known as 
Brush Hill turnpike, and, as such, was laid out by the county 
commissioners in .the years of 1849, 1856, and 1859, at 
widths not uniform, but for the most part approximating 64 
feet. To-day we have Columbus avenue, beginning at Park 
square and running to Walnut avenue at Franklin” Park, at 


29 City Document No. 35. 


a width of 80 feet; Seaver street extending from Walnut 
avenue through the park at a width of 60 feet, and connect- 
ing with Blue Hill avenue, which has a width of 120 feet, 
and, maintaining that width all the way, extends to the left 
bank of the Neponset river. It is the hope, indeed the 
expectation, of this Board that the authorities of Milton will 
take the avenue on the right bank of the river and extend it 
at the same width to the Blue Hills. This would open upa 
magnificent avenue from Milton to BostonCommon. But so 
far as Boston is herself and alone concerned, the improve- 
ment thus assured is a highly valuable one, for the residents 
of a large part of Dorchester and of Roxbury will have a 
thoroughfare so direct from their homes to the central por- 
tion of the city that without any other than surface transit 
they shall be enabled to effect an important saving of time in | 
their urban travel. 


THE COMMONWEALTH—AVENUE PROJECT PERFECTED. 


Under an order of January 5, 1895, the commissioners 
laid out an extension of Goren ealth avenue, at Brighton, 
over a part of South street, from Chestnut Hill avenue to 
the boundary line of the city of Newton, thus supplying a 
much-desired connection with the Newton boulevard, which 
already bears the name of Commonwealth avenue, and estab- 
lishing a magnificent thoroughfare of imposing and uninter- 
mittine name from the Boston Public Garden to the extreme 
western boundary of the sister city. 

This consummation makes it appropriate at this time to 
outline the history of Commonwealth avenue, the extension 
of which, section by section, marks the marvellous con- 
struction and development of the land and properties of the 
Back Bay and the rapidly enhancing values of estates be- 
yond. Its beginnings antedate the Board of Street Com- 
missioners, which was organized in 1871. The avenue was 
laid out between Arlington street and Berkeley street August 
5, 1862, and February 15, 1864. It was extended to 
Clarendon street December 15, 1868, and all subsequent 
improvements upon it have been ordered by this Board. It 
was laid out from Clarendon street to Dartmouth street May 
31, 1871; from Dartmouth street to Exeter street May 19, 
1873; from Exeter street to West Chester park (now 
Massachusetts avenue) November 4, 1875; from West 
Chester park to Beacon street July 8, 1879. This last 
extension connected Commonwealth avenue with what was 
then Brighton avenue, the name of a portion of which — 
between Beacon street and Malvern street — was subse- 


STREET Layinac Out DEPARTMENT. 23 


quently changed to Commonwealth avenue by an order 
taking effect March 1, 1887; and on December 8 of the 
same year the avenue was widened between these points 
from 60 to 120 feet. Another avenue was laid out by the 
Street Commissioners, under an order bearing date October 
11, 1883, which extended from Brighton avenue (now Com- 
monwealth) to Chesnut Hill avenue, terminating at the arch 
which forms the entrance to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. 
This was given the name of Massachusetts avenue, so that 
for what was really one thoroughfare from the Public 
Garden to the Reservoir there was a trinity of name, — 
Commonwealth, Brighton, and Massacbusetts. Massachu- 
setts avenue was laid out on a magnificent scale, its width 
being 200 feet. The change of name from Massachusetts to 
Commonwealth took effect March 1, 1887, at the same time 
that Brighton avenue became a part of Commonwealth ave- 
nue. Massachusetts avenue bad been laid out at an esti- 
mated expense of $45,262, but many thousands of square 
feet of private land had been released to the city by the 
individual owners. 

The financial outcome of this evolution is very interesting. 
In 1883 land in Aberdeen, which is now skirted by Beacon 
street, Commonwealth avenue, and Chestnut Hill avenue, 

could be bought by the acre at three cents a foot, while now 
it is held at prices which, roughly stated, vary from fifty 
cents to $1.25 a foot. The entire land from which portions 
were taken for the laying out of Massachusetts avenue was 
assessed in 1883, just prior to the order of this Board, at 
about $172,000; and in three years the remainders of those 
identical estates were assessed at about $675,000. The final 
action of the commissioners, the order of January 5, 1895, 
by which Commonwealth avenue is extended to connect with 
Newton’s Commonwealth avenue, was taken after due con- 
sideration of a petition from the Citizens’ Improvement 
Association of Ward 25, which petition was signed by a 
large number of property-owners, in whose opinion the value 
of taxable property would be greatly enhanced by the ex- 
tension, while affording themselves and others “ participation 
in the great benefits accruing from the construction of such 
a magnificent driveway as the plans of the city of Newton 
contemplated. » “This,” said they, “is the more important, 
as, without the codperation of the city of Boston, the 
said plans may be so changed as to prevent the employment 
of their advantages by diverging from this point to one not 
so desirable to your petitioners.” 

The plan the commissioners have adopted requires the 
removal of the arch at the entrance of the reservoir, and, if 


24 Ciry Document No. 35. 


desired, this arch might be placed farther inside the reservoir 
erounds, at the point where the present circular driveway 
will diverge from the Commonwealth-avenue extension. The 
extension will take a very small portion of the reservoir 
reservation, and then, skirting it on the northerly side, will 
connect with South street at a point a little east of Foster 
street. On account of the position of the old Evergreen 
Cemetery, which, even were it desired, could not be utilized 
except under authority conveyed by special legislation, the 
line of the extension is slightly curved. For the greater 
part of the way the extension, which is 120 feet in width, is 
practically a widening of South street, which was very 
narrow. ‘There will be a reserve space through it for the 
use of street railways and for grass plotting, and this space 
will have a width of 25 feet. 


THe New Hountinaton AVENUE. 


On January 5, 1895, the Board of Street Commissioners 
ordered a consequential improvement to be made in Hunt- 
ington avenue. As this entire thoroughfare has been laid 
out since this commission was created, less than twenty-five 
years ago, it is unnecessary to comment upon the rapid de- 
velopment of the sections opened up, and the enormous 
enhancement of values which followed the initiative liberal 
action. ‘The first part of the avenue, that between Boylston 
street, at Copley square, and Camden street, was laid out by 
the commissioners November 1, 1875. The part between 
Camden street and Parker street was laid out May 24, 1881. 
These projects did not call for the expenditure of money, 
and the action of the commissioners did not, therefore, 
require the concurrence of the city government. and the 
approval of His Honor the Mayor. The part between Par- 
ker street and Tremont street was laid out December 11, 
1882, and the order of this Board, having passed the City 
Council, received the approval of His. Honor the Mayor 
December 29 of the same year. Before these layings-out 
there were scarcely any buildings along the lines on which 
the avenue was subsequently built. It went through prop- 
erty which, including considerable low marsh land, was 
almost wholly unimproved. The melioration, as evidenced 
by the excellence of the many buildings already erected and 
others now being erected, amply demonstrates the wisdom 
of the undertaking. From Copley square to Gainsborough 
street the avenue was, from the first, 100 feet in width; but 
from Gainsborough street to Francis street at Tremont street 
the width was only 80 feet. By the action of this Board 


Street Layinac Our DEPARTMENT. 25 


(January 5, 1895), taken under the provisions of chapter 
416 of the Acts of 1894, the Board widened the avenue to 
100 feet from Gainsborough street to Francis street, and 
extended it over a part of Tremont street to the boundary 
line of the town of Brookline, thus giving it a uniform width 
of 100 feet from Copley square, at Boylston street, to Francis 
street, and a width of 80 feet from Francis street to Brook- 
line. The number of square feet of land taken for this 
widening was 182,561, at an estimated expense of $230,358 ; 
and there were made in all, under the order of January 5, in 
accordance with the Act of 1894, sixty awards to owners of 
estates, to the amount of the estimated expense of the work, 
without the construction. In the middle of the avenue, from 
Copley square to Francis street, a reservation 25 feet wide 
has been made for the use of street railways and grass-plot- 
ting. As in the Beacon-street boulevard and Blue Hill 
avenue, the continuity of this reservation will be broken by 
the intersecting streets. The commissioners are satisfied 
that the widening brings into the market land which had 
seemed destined to remain unimproved for a very long time, 
and, unquestionably, it enhances the value of the avenue 
itself as one of the main arteries of travel between the busi- 
ness centre of Boston and Brookline, West Roxbury, and 
the country beyond. Its total length from Copley square 
through Roxbury to the Brookline. boundary is about 12,000 
feet. The observations made with regard to the assessment 
of betterments along the Columbus-avenue extension are 
equally pertinent here, but need not be reiterated. 


PROJECTS FOR EASING TRANSIT BETWEEN THE COMMON 
AND THE UNION STATION. 


An earlier opinion of the Board of Street Commissioners . 
having been greatly strengthened by later and favorable 
circumstances, the Board now feels itself impelled to urge 
an improvement which before it only suggested. The need 
of a more nearly direct thoroughfare from the corner of Tre- 
mont street and Park street, at the Park-street church, to 
the great Union Station, seems to the commissioners to have 
passed beyond the range of argument, and what remains open 
for discussion is the selection of the line upon which this 
communication may be established. After a careful investi- 
gation of the whole subject, and having in mind the relative 
values of the various influences which certain physical 
changes would probably exert, the commissioners are con- 
vinced that Park street should be widened and extended 


26 City Document No. 35. 


across Beacon street to connect with Bowdoin street; that 
Bowdoin street should be graded between Beacon street and 
Allston street, and widened between Beacon street and Cam- 
bridge street; that, from Cambridge street, Bowdoin street 
should be extended in a direct line to the square formed by 
the junction of Causeway, Merrimac, and Staniford streets. 
Several excellent arguments may be made for the carrying 
out of this plan. First, it offers the shortest of the available 
ways between the congested part of Tremont street and the 
neighborhood of the Union Station, about which, also, con- 
gestion is steadily augmenting. Second, it would open up 
for business purposes, and greatly enhance the value of a 
large amount of property which is now, in effect, remote, 
although in fact contiguous to the business centre of the city. 
Third, it would change the too seclusive position of the new 
State House to one of great prominence, exposing the mag- 
nificent perspective of the capitol extension to the view of 
thousands every day, while only meagre hundreds see it 
now. 

Many of the street cars to and from the Union Station, 
which now crowd through the narrowest part of Tremont 
street, making haste slowly and causing other traffic to be 
tardy, could be diverted from Tremont street at Park street, 
thus not only relieving Tremont street in the section where 
the need of relief is greatest, but. also making a better 
schedule of running time possible. As compared with the 
route which most of the depot cars now follow, the distance 
by Bowdoin street would be reduced fully one-third. The 
commissioners suggest that the proposed thoroughfare be 60 
feet in width from Tremont street to Cambridge street, and 
that the Bowdoin-street extension, meaning the section that — 
would have to be built from Cambridge street to Causeway 
street, be given a width of 80 feet. It seems fair to presume 
that much of the traffic coming up from Causeway street and 
the Union Station over this extension would be diverted by 
Green street, Cambridge street, and Court street, so that a 
width 20 feet less would be adequate for the traffic which 
would continue on from Cambridge street by the State 
House to Tremont street. In the opinion of the com- 
missioners, the grade of Bowdoin street should be lowered 
about 19 feet at Beacon street, and about 28 feet at the 
summit of the hill, where, at the corner of Beacon Hill 
place, the Commonwealth building now stands. The esti- 
mated cost of the laying out is $1,000,000. The cost of the 
excavation, or cutting down of the hill, would probably not 
be more than $6,000, and the advantages to the real estate 
directly affected would be so important that in the judgment

of the Board the grade damages would not be heavy. The 
entire undertaking could be carried through at an expense, 
estimated, of about $1,500,000. The State has already 
acquired the property between Bowdoin street and the State 
House, from Beacon street to Derne street ; and the portion 
of Temple street between Mt. Vernon street and Derne 
street has virtually been discontinued. The State could 
well afford to release to the city of Boston the land necessary 
for that part of the widening of Bowdoin street, in view of 
the greater prominence into which the capitol would imme- 
diately be brought. In order to make the connection between 
Park street and Bowdoin street direct, it would be necessary 
to disturb the Union Club building, near the corner of Park 
street and Beacon street; and beyond this, the damage 
would not in any individual case be large. On Bowdoin 
street from Ashburton place to Cambridge street the build- 
ings are mostly dwellings, with a few small stores near 
Cambridge street. From this point to Causeway street, on 
the line which the extension would follow, there is a mixture 
of low-priced stores and dwellings. 

The prospective demolition of the Tremont House, at the 
corner of Tremont street and Beacon street, has encouraged 
many citizens to hope for the immediate widening of Tre- 
mont street, between Park street and Beacon street. There 
is also a continued desire for the widening of Tremont street 
from Park street all the way to Scollay square. The Board 
estimates the expense of this undertaking to be $2,300,000. 
Tremont street, at the Park-street church, by the Granary 
Burial-ground, is 63 feet in width. In front of the Tremont 
Temple, the width is 56 feet; and at the corner of Beacon 
street, between the Parker House and the Tremont House, 
it is only 53 feet. It is apparent that the sidewalks ought 
to be widened, but unless some action is taken, even the 
present width may not be allowed to continue. As only the 
portico of the Tremont House was built out to the line of 
the street there was a considerable portion of the sidewalk, 
which, although open to public use, was a part of the Tre- 
mont House estate, and the title was kept clear by the use of 
a fence once in 20 years. If the building which supersedes 
the Tremont House is built on the street line, the sidewalk 
at that point will be more inadequate than ever. It has been 
proposed to widen the street to 80 feet. This would require 
the moving back of the Park-street church, entailing the 
demolition of the building which now stands immediately 
in the rear of it; the taking of a portion of the Granary 
Burial-ground, which the city owns in fee, though settle- 
ment would have to be made with the lot owners; and the 


28 City Document No. 35. 


appropriation for public use of a portion of the Tremont 
House property. 

In connection with this matter, the commissioners desire 
to again draw attention to the need of a direct thoroughfare 
from Scollay square to the Union Station. Sudbury and 
Hawkins streets should be widened to 60 feet, and Hawkins 
street should be extended in a direct line, at the same width, 
from Chardon street to Causeway street. The total cost of 
the widenings and the extension is estimated to be $500,000. 
Whether or not Tremont street is widened from the Com- 
mon to Scollay square, or from the Common to Beacon 
street, it would be a wise and an efficacious enterprise to 
shorten, in accordance with the plan described, the distance 
between Scollay square and the termini of the northern rail- 
ways. The distance between the Park-street church and 
the Union Station by this proposed way would be 2,600 
feet, or 40 feet less than half a mile. The distance from the 
Park-street church to the Union Station by the improve- 
ment and extension of Bowdoin street would be 2,300 feet, 
or 300 feet less than the distance by Hawkins street. The 
chairman of the Board of Aldermen has already petitioned 
the General Court, in accordance with the request of the 
Master Teamsters’ Association, — upon which request favor- 
able action, was taken by the Board of Aldermen, — for 
authorization to borrow money outside the debt limit for the 
purpose of widening and extending Cross street, a scheme 
which, substantially, was suggested by the Board of Street 
Commissioners in its annual reports of 1892 and 1893. 
While financial plans for the carrying out of permanent im- 
provements are under consideration, the Board feels justified 
in urging that the two projects herein set forth be accorded 
narrow scrutiny. If but to recommend a thing were to ac- 
complish it, the commissioners might easily describe a 
variety of street improvements which would be_ beneficial ; 
but they feel that these are of paramount importance, and 
they make no other recommendations, hoping those they 
have made may ultimately be acted upon. — 


List OF STREETS, PLacEs, Courts, ETC. 


As an adddition to this report, the Board has prepared a 
list, supposed to be complete, of all the streets within the 
whole city, with a record of any and all changes in names, 
dates of laying out, acceptance, etc. ; this list will undoubt- 
edly be very useful to city officers, as well as to convey- 
ancers, real-estate brokers, and others, and will certainly be 
of great assistance to this department, and save very many

hours in the course of a year in the matter of looking up 
dates, records, etc., contained therein. 

The preparation of this nomenclature of streets accounts 
somewhat for the delay in the publishing of this report.

AEN TX A. 


The suggestion made in the report of 1893, relating to the 
preparation of a list of the names of streets, courts, places, etc., 
included in the whole city, giving dates of acceptance and laying 
out, former names, etc., has been carried out, and the work 
begun in 1882 by Mr. James R. Carret, under contract with the 
city of Boston, has at last been completed by the Street Com- 
missioners. 

Under date of December 27, 1882, Mr. Carret agreed ‘‘ to pre- 
pare for the city of Boston a record of the names of streets in 
said city as found in its records and in the records of the several 
cities and towns which have become a part of said city by annexa- 
tion, said record to be alphabetically arranged and to embody such 
information in relation to names of streets in said city as said 
Carret may obtain from other sources.” Mr. Carret in 1887 
carried out a part of his contract and delivered to the city a list 
which included all street names with their records embraced under 
letter A, since which time very little work has been done by him 
in the matter. Early in the year 1895, Mr. Carret finding him- 
self unable to complete his contract, delivered to the Street Com- 
missioners all papers and records relating to this subject at that 
time in his possession, including a list of streets embraced under 
the other letters of the alphabet, but needing very many additions 
and corrections to bring it to date. This work has now been 
accomplished, and is herewith presented, together with two maps, 
showing Boston proper as far south as Dover street; one of 1722, 
giving the names as they existed at that time, and the other 
showing them as they are to-day. 

Of course this work has not been carried out exactly on the 
lines laid down by Mr. Carret, it being impossible to devote 
the necessary time to look into the records of the Registry of 
Deeds so thoroughly and so completely as a conveyancer would, 
giving references to plans, deeds, etc., but the list will be found to 
be more nearly complete and correct as to names and dates than 
any heretofore published. 

The first official list of highways in Boston was made by the 
selectmen in 1708, when, under date of May 3, it was ‘* Ordered, 
that the Streets, Lanes and Alleys of this Town as they are now 
bounded and named be accordingly recorded in the Town Booke.” . 
In 1732 a list of streets was published, showing that changes had 
already begun to be made in the names of old streets; a supple- 
mentary list was reported by the selectmen July 4, 1788; in 1800 
a list of streets was printed by Benjamin Edes & Son, which was 
reprinted in the Boston Directory for 1860. The next list ap- 


STREET LAYING Out DEPARTMENT. 33 


peared in Shaw’s ‘‘ History of Boston” in 1817; in 1834 a com- 
mittee of the Board of Aldermen submitted a list and report, — 
more complete than any yet published, and very interesting in 
many particulars; in 1842 again a committee of the Board of 
Aldermen reported a list of streets which had been laid out, dis- 
continued, or named since 1854; in 1860 the Board of Aldermen 
authorized the preparation of an index to the plans contained in 
the records in the Suffolk Registry of Deeds, and Mr. Francis 
Lincoln, the compiler of this index, prepared a list of the names 
of streets, so far as they could be ascertained, and of the changes 
which had been made from time to time, which list was deposited 
in the Registry of Deeds, where it has been of great value to 
econveyancers and others engaged in searching titles. Mr. Lin- 
coln’s list, corrected and revised, formed the larger part of a 
report made in 1879 (Doc. 119) by the Joint Standing Committee 
on Ordinances, in which, under Appendix J, was given a list sup- 
posed to contain all streets in Boston proper only. 

All the foregoing lists, together with maps and plans in the 
City Surveyor’s office, the Boston Directories, Bromley’s atlases, 
etc., have been consulted in the compilation of this list, and par- 
ticularly has the information given to the Board by Mr. Carret 
been used as a basis for its completion. 

It is considered important that the act relating to naming new 
streets and renaming public streets should form a part of this ap- 
pendix, ‘notwithstanding it was included in the appendix of the 
report of 1893. 

Chapter 67 of the Acts of 1880, as amended by chapter 278 of 
the Acts of 1884, is as follows: 


SECTION 1. From and after the date of the passage of this act, no 
name shall be newly assigned to any public way in the city of Boston 
by which any other public way is already called, whether under the title 
ot street, avenue, court, place, alley, or other descriptive title; but any 
way not affording continuous passage for teams between two other ways 
may [in the discretion of the Board of Street Commissioners of said city] 
be termed a court or place, and receive the name of any way with which 
it communicates. And any extension or continuation of a public way 
may be called by the same name. 

SECT. 2. The names of all public ways hereafter laid out by the 
Board of Street Commissioners of the City of Boston shall be fixed by a 
vote of said Board [after a hearing upon a public notice stating the name 
proposed to be given]. Such vote shall take effect upon such laying 
out, shall be published in such manner as said Board shall direct, and 
shall be certified by the clerk of said Board to the Register of Deeds for 
the County of Suffolk. The names of all public ways : not already fixed, . 
and changes in the names of ways, may be made by the same authority, 
confirmed by the Board of Aldermen of said city, and not otherwise. 
Such changes shall take effect on the FrrsT DAY OF MArcH of each 
year, shall ‘be published in such manner as the Board of Aldermen shall 
direct, and shall be certified by the City Clerk to the Register of Deeds 
for the County of Suffolk, 

Sect. 3. Chapter one hundred and ninety-nine of the laws of eighteen 
hundred and sixty-eight is hereby repealed. 


This act took effect upon its passage, March 8, 1880.

EXTENSION OF MAINS. 


The work of extending mains exceeded that of the previ- 
ous year by about one and one-half miles, 17.9 miles having 
been laid and 5.1 miles having been abandoned; making a 
total of 572.8 miles of pipe now connected with the Cochituate 
system. To meet the requirements of the city in its rapid 
growth, from twenty to twenty-five miles of pipe should be 
laid annually, so it will be seen that the average during the 
past year was considerably below what it should have been. 
As during the previous year, we were obliged to economize 
in many directions in the effort to keep within the appro- 
priation allowed us for this work. The total amount 
appropriated was $250,000, and the amount expended was 
$263,111.67, being $13,111.67 in excess of the appropria- 
tion; but as there remains on hand stock to the amount of 
$19,013.58 over the amount on hand at the beginning of the 
year, it leaves the actual cost for extensions $244,098.09, or 
$5,901.91 less than the appropriation. These expenditures 
have been provided for entirely from water revenue. 

The second force main (36”) from the Chestnut Hill to 
the Fisher Hill reservoir has been laid during the year, at a 
cost of $72,461.94, including connections. ‘The excessive 
cost was largely due to the fact that a portion of the pipe 
was necessarily laid at a great depth. In view of the con- 
templated new main from Washington Village to South 
Boston flats, via Dorchester avenue ‘and D street, the pipe 
contract for 1894 was considerably increased ; but as we were 
obliged to postpone this work for another year, we have the 
pipe on hand, and we hope to be able to carry out this work 
during the coming summer. 

The main across the new Dover-street bridge has been 
completed and connected, and the temporary pipe which 
supplied water to South Boston during the work of abol- 
ishing the grade crossing, has been removed. 

This temporary pipe was a source of great anxiety, as it 
passed through a large building for storing lumber in a lum- 
ber-yard, and in case of fire would have been in a very 
dangerous position. The Board took every precaution to 
protect it, by having it enclosed in a sheet-iron box and 
placing a line of automatic sprinklers inside the boxing. 

Considerable work has been done during the year in 
enlarging the pipe system and locating new hydrants in the 
district formerly covered by the Jamaica pond aqueduct 
service. 

The Board contemplate beginning early in the spring the 
important work of laying a new high-service supply main 


4. -  Crry Document No. 39: 


from the junction of Fisher Hill avenue and Boylston street, 
in Brookline, to the city proper. This main will be 48 
inches in diameter to the junction of Huntington avenue and 
Heath street, where it will be reduced to 42 inches, and con- 
tinued through Huntington avenue and Boylston street, 
across the Common to Park-street gate. A 36-inch main 
will be laid from the corner of Hantington avenue and Heath 
street, across the Roxbury district to Grove Hall, for the 
improvement of the supply in Roxbury and Dorchester. 
The estimated cost of this work when completed is $400,000. 

It is hoped that when this work is finished an ample sup- 
ply of water can be furnished in all the various localities 
from which complaints have come for several years past of 
lack of water, particularly during extreme cold weather in 
winter, when many water-takers allow their taps to run con- 
tinually to prevent the water from freezing, thereby causing 
a great loss of head, and in many instances, in the more ele- 
vated localities, even taking away the supply entirely for 
several days at a time. 


CONSUMPTION OF WATER, RAINFALL, ETC. 


The daily average consumption of water during the past 
year was 46,560,000 gallons on the Cochituate and Sudbury, 
and 10,282,100 gallons on the Mystic ; that of the combined 
supplies being 56,842,100 gallons, or a decrease of 2.3 per 
cent. over the previous year. The consumption per capita 
was 97.4 gallons. 

The rainfall was below the aver age, the total for the year 
on the Sudbury water-shed being 39.74 inches. Although 
the season of 1894 was an unusually dry one, yet with the 
addition of the new basin No. 6, which was filled during 
the winter and spring, and from which water was drawn for 
the first time, we were enabled to supply the needs of the 
city without much anxiety so far as the Cochituate and Sud- 
bury supply was concerned. 

The water in Mystic lake fell to such a point that by 
‘September 12 it was necessary to let on the Cochituate water 
to supply Charlestown, as the Mystic supply would not have 
been sufficient for that district and the cities of Chelsea, Som- 
erville, and Everett. Pumping was resorted to from August 
31 to November 15, and the water in the lake reached a 
lower point than ever before. The old temporary pumps 
and engines at the lake were in such bad condition through 
age and use, that, by advice of the City Engineer, two new 
engines and one new pump were purchased, and the pump 
and one of the engines were at once put into service.

HARBOR SERVICE. 


The submerged pipes for supplying water to Long, Rains- 
ford, and Gallop’s islands and Fort Warren are still a 
source of great annoyance and expense to the Board, espe- 
cially during the cold weather. Notwithstanding the fact 
that they are buried at the shore ends, the storms cause the 
water to wash the covering away, thereby exposing the pipes, 
and when there is any gr eat decrease of the circulation they 
freeze and burst. 

Between Long and Gallop’s islands a between Long and 
Rainsford islands.the pipes are of wrought iron, three inches 
in diameter, and are so badly eaten by rust that it is very 
difficult and expensive to keep them sufficiently in repair to 
maintain the supply even in the summer season. 

In order to provide for emergencies, and also to furnish a 
supply for fire purposes, the Board of Commissioners of 
Public Institutions have constructed a reservoir on Long 
island which has a capacity of 1,300,000 gallons. Water 
was admitted to this reservoir on December 7, 1894. 

The Board have recommended to the Commissioners of 
Public Institutions that a reservoir be built on Rainsford 
island; and also to the Board of Health, that one be built 
on Gallop’s island,— so that the buildings on those islands 
may have a supply of water in case of emergency. The 
work of extending pipes for the harbor system was com- 
menced in the year 1888, and water was let into the pipes 
August 21, 1889. 

It is proposed, during the coming season, to lay new lines 
of pipe between all of these islands (with the exception of 
the line from Long island to Fort Warren, which was laid 
by the United States Government), and, if possible, to pro- 
tect them from freezing. 

The original cost of laying the entire system from Nepon- 
set to Moon, Thompson’s, Long, Rainsford, and Gallop’s 
islands, and the change from fhe low to the high service 
system, was $66,024. 93, and the repairs on the same, up to 
February 1, 1895, have amounted to $12,891.72. 

The following i is an extract from a letter of the Board to 
Mayor Matthews, on January 18, 1894, concerning the 
whole harbor pipe system: “These submerged pipes are a 
constant source of expense to this department, and we should 
be glad to turn all the pipes, from the point where they 
leave the mainland, over to the Public Institutions, and 
deliver them water without charge.” 


6 City DocumEntT No. 39. 


NEW HIGH-SERVICE PUMPING-ENGINE. 


The first shipment of the parts of the new 20,000,000- 
gallon per day high-service pumping-engine was made 
February 17, 1894, and the work of setting it up at the 
Chestnut-Hill pumping-station was begun at once. As 
stated in our last report, it was hoped to have had the pump 
in operation by July 1, but many unforeseen delays occurred 
which made this an impossibility. It became necessary to 
build an addition to the boiler-house in order to accommo- 
date the new boiler constructed by the Atlantic Works, and 
considerable delay was experienced in securing a special car 
from the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company, which they 
were courteous enough to allow us to use to transport the 
boiler from the works at East Boston to Chestnut-Hill sta- 
tion, as an ordinary flat car would have made the load too 
high to pass beneath the railroad bridges. On account of 
the various delays the new engine was not ready to receive 
steam until October last. The engine has been run from 
time to time in order to get the bearings and joints in proper 
condition before finishing the work of lagging and painting. 
It is now expected that the pump will be put into service 
- by about the middle of March. The new boiler is in place 
and working very satisfactorily. This boiler will furnish 
steam to the engine at considerable less expense for coal 
than boilers of the ordinary type. 


FIRE SERVICE. 


It has been the aim of the Board to keep the fire service 
of the city up to the highest standard, and the proposed pipe 
referred to, under the head of Extension of Mains, is for 
increasing that service throughout the business district. 
Constant watch has been kept upon the hydrants during the 
cold weather, and the Fire Department has had no serious 
trouble from them this winter, as yet. It will be the policy 
of the Board to extend the high service in the business sec- 
tion as rapidly as necessity requires. Owing to the increased 
number of high buildings, and the extension of the auto- 
matic-sprinkler system, many demands have been made for 
high service. In May last the Board requested the City 
Engineer to report what work was necessary to be done in 
order to furnish better fire protection. He subsequently 
reported, recommending larger pipes and more hydrants in 
many of the streets, and the Board will from time to time 
carry out his recommendations. 

In addition to the pressure-recording gauges that were 


W ATER—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 1 


placed in many of the fire-engine houses last year, more have 
been added, and arrangements have been made with the Fire 
Commissioners whereby, in case of a conflagration in the 
high-service district of the city proper, if the recording gauge 
at “City Hall shows a pressure of not more than 25 pounds, 
certain gates between the high and low service mains will 
be opened at once by employees of this department; the 
location and number of the gates to be opened to depend 
upon the locality and magnitude of the fire, thus ensuring 
an ample supply of water when needed. 


WHITEHALL POND. 


On August 2, 1894, by the advice of the Law Department 
and with the approval of the Mayor the Board settled with 
Eben D. Jordan, owning two-thirds, and on August 30 with 
Wood Bros. & Newhall, owning one-third, of Whitehall 
pond, for an aggregate sum of $286,500. Plans are being 
drawn for a new dam, and a contract for its construction 
will probably be made during the coming summer. When 
this dam is finished and the pond cleaned the quality of the 
water will be greatly improved, and the storage capacity of 
the Sudbury supply increased some 1,256,900, 000 gallons. 

All the land damages and claims abutting on the pond 
have been settled, with the exception of four or five small 
cases which the Board expect to dispose of at an early day. 


BASIN 6. 


Basin 6 was filled during the winter and spring, and 
water was first drawn from it in September. The work of 
finishing around the basin was continued during the season, 
and is practically completed. The Board, on January 1, 
turned the care and maintenance of this basin over to the 
superintendent of the Western Division. 

Much work has been done in straightening out the brook 
leading from the basin to the Sudbury river below the dam, 
and in building filtering beds to be used in conjunction with 
the basin, and a keeper’s house has been provided at one end 
of the dam. There being a large swamp at the head of Basin 
6, in which the water became discolored by being held 
back, it was deemed.advisable to take several acres of land 
for the purpose of controlling the outlet into the basin.. 


BASIN 5. 


A portion of the land for this basin, comprising 198.01 
acres, was taken by right of eminent domain April 2, 
1894, in order that the construction of the new dam might 


os 


8 City Document No. 39. 


be begun at once,and the balance (2,247.17 acres) was. 
so taken April 30, 1894, the takings being duly recorded in 
the counties of Worcester and Middlesex. Work on the 
new dam was begun by Moulton & O’Mahoney, contractors, 
early in May, and it was pushed as rapidly as possible until 
the cold weather set in, when it was covered and thoroughly 
protected from the frost. This work will be resumed as soon 
as the weather will permit. One contract for stripping in 
the basin was let to Auguste Saucier on August 27, and the 
work is now being prosecuted. Other contracts for strip- 
ping will be advertised for in the spring, and it is expected 
that enough of the dam and stripping will be completed so 
as to admit of the filling of the basin to a height of 25 feet, 
by another winter. Many of the claims for damages and 
for land taken have been settled. In the report of last year 
attention was called to the numerous conferences held with a 
committee of citizens of Southboro’, in regard to the chang- 
ing of the roads in that town, necessitated by the construc- 
tion of Basin 5. The result of these conferences was that 
the following agreement was entered into between the town 
of Southboro’ and the city of Boston: 


The city of Boston, a municipal corporation in the county of Suffolk, 
acting by its water board, and the inhabitants of the town of South- 
boro’, a municipal corporation in the county of Worcester, acting by its. 
committee thereunto duly authorized, on this fourteenth day of February, 
A.D. eighteen hundred and ninety-four, agree as follows: 

Firsi: Said town consents to the discontinuance by said city of 
certain parts of the town, county and other public ways in said town 
substantially as shown in blue on a plan hereto annexed, and to the 
laying out, relocating, altering, building, reconstruction and repair of 
certain other parts of said ways, which shall thereafter be highways, 
substantially as shown in red on said plan, and to the changing of the 
grade of certain other parts of said ways substantially as shown in 
yellow on said plan, all of which said water board deems necessary 
for the proper building by said city of its new water-basin in said town. 

Second: Said city may discontinue said parts of ways shown in blue 
as aforesaid and shall do the work on said parts of ways shown in red 
and yellow as aforesaid in a good and workmanlike manner, making 
the travelled parts of said ways shown in red and yellow not less than 
twenty-five feet wide, and of good material, and to the satisfaction and 
acceptance of the county commissioners of Worcester county, and 
shall secure to all persons desiring to use any of said parts shown in 
red, yellow or blue, a safe and convenient way of travel over or around 
each part from the time said city shall construct or commence work on 
the same until the completion of the substitute therefor in the manner 
aforesaid, and shall at all times during the progress of its work secure 
safe and convenient ways of travel between Southboro’ and the neigh- 
boring towns, and between the different parts of said town. 

Third: Said city shall, wherever practicable, fence the said parts of 
ways shown in red or yellow with substantially built field-stone walls, 
and where it is impracticable to place such walls, shall fence said parts 
of said ways with an iron fence not less than four feet in height, made with 

. two iron gas-pipe rails not less than two and one-half inches in diame- 


W ATER—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 9 


ter, fixed in iron posts not less than three inches in diameter, and with 
said posts securely fixed in stone bases, where and as the board of 
selectmen of said town shall request. 

Fourth: Said city shall either take all land lying between Rice’s 
Mill and Williams’ Mill, so called, and between the line of said basin 
on the north and a line marked A and B upon the annexed plan on the 
south, and compensate the several owners therefor, or it shall build a 
new way which shall comply with the requirements of the first, second 
and third clauses, for ways to be built by it, and which shall run from 
a point near the junction of the Willow Bridge road and the road from 
Fayville to Marlboro’, to a point on the old County road from Framing- 
ham to Southboro’ near the house of Sullivan T. Ball. 

Fifth: Said city shall not commence the construction of any part of 
said basin, or of any structure connected therewith, except the dam 
thereof, until descriptions of all lands and other property to be taken for 
said basin or structures have been filed in the Registry of Deeds for the

By

JOSEPH BURNETT,

JOHN A. SALMON, 

DE CLINTON NICHOLS, ) 


Approved: N. MATTHEWS, JR., 
Mayor. 


This agreement was confirmed by an Act of the Legislature approved 
March 14, 1894. . 


Several conferences were also had with the commissioners 
of the counties of Worcester and Middlesex in regard to the 
proposed changes of highways, and on March 3 the City 
Engineer was requested to prepare plans and specifications 
which were approved by the Worcester county commis- 
sioners, April 10, for building two roads to take the place of 
two of those which were to be discontinued. The contract for 
their construction was awarded to Berry Bros., June 6. 
These roads have been completed, and they will be opened 
_to public travel in the spring. The town has appointed a 
police force, for which the city pays, according to. the 
above agreement. In anticipation of the adoption by 
the State of a metropolitan water-supply from the Nashua 
river, the plans of the gate-house at Dam No. 5 were modi- 
fied so as to adapt the structure to the increased flow which 
would be required on account of an additional supply from 
said river. 


FUTURE SUPPLY. 


In recent reports attention has been called to the very im- 
portant subject of a future supply of water for Boston. As 
the limit, after the full development of the Sudbury system 
will be reached in a few years, this subject has been con- 
stantly kept in mind by the Board for several years. The 
Legislature of 1892 appropriated $40,000 to enable the State 
Board of Health to inquire into the matter of a metropolitan 
supply for Boston and its suburbs within a radius of ten 


W ATER—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 11 


miles ; and it is expected that a report will be made by them 
to the Legislature some time next month, when this very 
important subject will doubtless receive the consideration 
which it deserves; in the meantime work will be continued 
in the development and for the purification of the entire 


water system of the Sudbury river and its tributaries. 


CEDAR SWAMP. 


Cedar swamp, which is in the towns of Hopkinton and 
Westboro’, and through which much of the water of the Sud- 
bury river flows, and derives its high color, contains 1,500 
acres, about half of which has been bonded, and it is hoped to. 
obtain rights of drainage through a large part of the remain- 
ing lands to build canals so as to drain the entire swamp. 
When this is done, the most important source of discolora- 
tion of the water will be remedied. It is expected that good 


progress will be made in this work before another winter. 


FILTRATION. 


The filter beds at the outlet of Pegan brook, in Natick, 
which have now been in operation several years, have given 
satisfactory results. Studies on filtration have been pursued 
during the past year, both for the Cochituate and Sudbury, 
and the Mystic systems, and much data has been obtained, 
which will be of great value in future in caring for the city’s 
water-supply: Plans have already been prepared for a series 
of beds to filter the water of Marlboro’ brook, which flows 
through a part of that city, and into the new Basin 5. 


MYSTIC DEPARTMENT. 


In our last report attention was called to the proposed 
park in Winchester, which would remove one of the most 
serious nuisances upon the Abajona river. It was the 
opinion of the Board that the removal of several tenement- 
houses on the banks of the river, a tannery, stables, and 
various other sbuildings and workshops, would be a great 
advantage in the work of purifying this water-supply. After 
numerous conferences with authorities of the town of Win- 
chester and the Metropolitan Park Commissioners, arrange- 
ments were finally made, with the approval of the Mayor, 
and providing the City Council should so authorize, to con- 
tribute the sum of $60,600 towards the removal of these 
buildings, and the converting of this territory into the Metro- 
politan park scheme. On November 22 a communication 

yas sent to the Mayor, and by him forwarded to the City 


12 Ciry Document No. 39. 


Council, asking for a loan of $65,000 in order to carry out 
the plans agreed upon. ‘The matter was laid over for the 
present city government to take up, which it is expected it 
will do at an early day. 

The new pumping-engine for the Mystic works is being 
constructed by the Geo. F. Blake Manufacturing Company, 
and it is expected that it will be set up and in working order 
in the early fall. A contract was made with Mack & Moore, 
October 27, 1894, to build an extension to the pumping- 
station in order to accommodate this new engine, and this 
work is now in process of construction. The foundations for 
_the new engine are finished and ready for the heavy parts of 
the machinery, as soon as the roof of the building is completed. 
Owing to the low condition of Mystic lake, the Cochituate 
water was turned on to Charlestown September 12, and is 

now supplying that district. 

The Cochituate high service has supplied the Bunker Hill 
section continually since June 29, 1895. ‘The abolishment 
of the grade crossing at Chelsea bridge made it necessary to 
relay the pipes which supply Chelsea and East Boston. East 
Boston was supplied through 20 and 24 in. pipes, and Chelsea 
by a 16-in. pipe. In place of these a new line of 30-in. 
pipe was laid to supply East Boston, and a 24-in. pipe 
to supply Chelsea. These pipes were laid through land of 
the Boston & Maine Railroad Company, along the line of the 
street, so as to avoid the foundation of the piers of the high- 
way bridge over the railroad tracks. In the near future the 
quality of the Mystic water will be greatly improved, as the 
town of Winchester has constructed, and the city of Woburn 
is about to construct, sewers, and it is hoped that Stoneham 
will soon do so. It is expected that the North Metropolitan 
sewerage system, into which the sewers of these communities 
will enter, will be in operation by the coming spring. 


SEWERAGE SYSTEMS OF MARLBORO’, WESTBORO’, 
FRAMINGHAM, AND NATICK.. 


The Marlboro’ sewerage system is working very satis- 
factorily, and house connections are continually being made. 
Great improvement has already been noticed in the water of 
Basin 3, into which the Marlboro’ brook flows. 

The town of Westboro’ is also continually extending its 
sewerage system, which has removed what has heretofore 
been a serious menace to one arm of the head-waters of the 
Sudbury river. 

The Framingham sewerage system was constructed several 
years ago, the city of Boston agreeing to pay the sum of 


‘ 


W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 13 


$25,000 towards it; but payment has been withheld, owing 
to the construction of an under-drain, which was allowed to 
discharge into Beaver Dam brook. The authorities have 
now decided to build a filtering-bed, to care for the water 
pumped from the under-drain, and the Board have agreed 
to assist the town in completing the same. ‘This matter, it 
is expected, will be entirely consummated during the coming 
summer. 

By Chapter 459 of the Acts of 1894 the town of Natick 
was empowered to construct and maintain a system of sew- 
erage and sewage disposal. Section 2 of this act provides 
that said town shall build and maintain its collecting-reser- 
voir and pumping-station at such place on the southwesterly 
side of Lake Cochituate, between West Central street in 
said Natick and said lake, as the Boston Water Board shall 
approve ; shall carry the sewers connecting with said pump- 
ing-station across or through the filter-beds and adjacent 
lands of said city as said Water Board shall approve; shall 
carry its sewers, pipes, and conduits across Lake Cochitu- 
ate only by routes south of the location of the main line of 
the Boston & Albany Railroad Company; and shall con- 
struct and maintain its sewers, pipes, conduits, reservoirs, 
and pumping-apparatus and sewage-fields in such manner 
as the State Board of Health shall approve. And in consid- 
eration thereof said city of Boston, by its Water Board, 
shall allow the main line of sewers connecting with the 
pumping-station of said town to be constructed through or 
across the filter-beds and adjacent lands of said city with- 
out any payment for the right so to do or for any damages 
caused thereby, and shall, upon the building of said pump- 
ing-station and the laying of said main line. from Cochituate 
street in said Natick to said pumping-station, pay to the 
treasurer of said town the sum of $18,000. 

Conferences have been held with the sewer committee of 
said town, and arrangements have been made for the town to 
carry the sewage across Lake Cochituate at its southern ex- 
tremity, and its adjacent location to the Boston & Albany 
Railroad Company, to a pumping-station to be located on 
the westerly side of the lake, near the village of Walker- 
ville, so called; from which point the sewage will be 
pumped to the filtration-fields adjoining those now occupied 
by Framingham. When this system of sewerage is com- 
pleted another great source of pollution to Boston’s water- 
supply will be removed. 


14 City DocumMENT No. 39. 


ELECTROLYSIS. 


During the year, Messrs. Stone & Webster have con- 
tinued their investigations as to the effect of the electric 
currents on the water-pipes. We are satisfied that some 
electrolytic action is taking place in our water-pipe system. 
And, as it is very important that this action be carefully 
watched in order to prevent any serious damage from occur- 
ring, the Board have authorized the City Engineer to em- 
ploy, from time to time, whatever expert assistance he may 
deem necessary. 


BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY. 


The biological studies and experiments at the laboratory 
at Chestnut Hill, have fully demonstrated by their results 
the great advantage of work of this character. The accurate 
knowledge of the condition of the waters of the various ba- 
sins and reservoirs has amply compensated the department 
for the expenditure incurred. 


ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. 


The Board recently requested the City Engineer to make 
a careful estimate of the value of the property of the Water 
Department, in order that a statement of the assets and 
liabilities might be incorporated in this report. In making 
this estimate he has taken into account only what he consid- 
ered to be the actual market value. The following is a 
copy of his estimate :

Yours respectfully, 


WILLIAM JACKSON, 
City Engineer. 


Considering the financial condition of this department it 
is well to note that the loss of revenue from several of 
the other city departments is a very serious matter. For 
instance, in the year 1891 the revenue derived from other 
departments was $116,895.14, whereas during the past year 
we have only received $45,096.15, being a loss of $71,- 
798.99. Since the year 1891 no charge has been made to 
the Street Department for water for street-sprinkling pur- 
poses, or to the Fire Department for hydrants. On the 
other hand, the expense to this department of restoring 
streets to the condition they are found in when openings are 
made for extensions or repairs of pipes has been very 
largely increased, inasmuch as the roadways are now more 
thoroughly and expensively built than formerly. 

We now receive from the Fire Department $2 per year 
for the care and maintenance of each hydrant, and the esti- 
mated cost to meet the demands for fire service is $15 per 
year per hydrant.

APPENDIX A. 


REPORT OF THE RESIDENT ENGINEER AND 
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE WESTERN DIVI- 
SION. 


SouTtH FRAMINGHAM, January 1, 1895. 


THoomas F. Donerty, Esq., 
Chairman Boston Water Board: 


Sir: The annual report for the Western Division of the 
Boston Water-W orks is submitted herewith : 


SupBURY—RIVER Basins. 
Water-shed, 75.2 Square Miles. 


The rainfall for 1894 was 40.3 inches at Framingham, and 
38.2 at Chestnut-Hill Reservoir. The mean rainfall on the 
Sudbury-river water-shed was 40.58 inches, which is about 7.4 
inches less than the average. With so small a rainfall, the 
city would have been short of water had it not been for the 
storage in Basin 6, the new basin just completed. This 
reservoir was nearly filled during the winter and spring of 
1894, and its addition to the supply enabled us to meet the 
demands of the city. 

Preparations were made early in the year for the construc- 
tion of Basin 5, which was described in my last report. As 
this involved the taking of upwards of 2,000 acres of land in 
a populous neighborhood, the work necessitated many sur- 
veys, plans, and negotiations with different authorities, not- 
ably the selectmen and a special committee of citizens from 
Southboro’ and the County Commissioners of Worcester and 
Middlesex counties. 

In accordance with an agreement finally reached and rati- 
fied by the Legislature, complete descriptions and plans of 
all the property to be taken, covering 151 sheets of legal 
cap and comprising 228 separate parcels of land, were filed 
on April 2 and April 80, 1894. 

A contract had been previously made, July 27, 1893, with 
Moulton & O’Mahoney for the building of the dam, for 
$454,729.90. 

Owing to the length of time occupied in the negotiations, 


AQ) Crty Document No. 39. 


the execution of the above contract was delayed, but on 
April 10, 1894, the contractors began stripping the site of 
the dam. ‘This work was prosecuted with vigor during the 
year, and $86,250.71 have been expended thus far on the 
contract. In March it became evident that the scheme for 
supplying the Metropolitan district from the Nashua river 
would receive favorable action from the State Board of 
Health, and the plans of the dam were modified so as to 
embrace three outlet pipes of 48-in. diameters, instead of 
two as originally contemplated. This change was made to 
permit a larger quantity of water to be drawn for the supply 
of the Metropolitan area than would be necessary for Boston . 
alone. The amended plans were approved by the County 
Commissioners on April 25. The modification of this con- 
tract Involves an extra expense to the city, estimated at 
$21,154.34. It is expected that this amount will be re- 
funded to the city, together with other extra expenses, when- 
ever the scheme is carried out by the State. On February 
14, $50,000 were paid to Southboro’ for the discontinuance 
of several miles of highway in that town, and to enable the 
town to build new roads in other places. 

On May 18 a contract was made with the McNeal Pipe 
and Foundry Company for the outlet pipes for $4,326.12 — 
$21.15 per ton for the 48-inch pipes and $41.90 per ton for 
the specials. During the early summer plans and specifica- 
tions were prepared for Section A, stripping, shallow flowage, 
and the building of two roads at the Sawins Mill end of the 
basin. 

The following table shows the bids for this work :

The contract for the work was let to Auguste Saucier, for 
$52,018.50. Thus far only $11,285.14 have been expended 
on account of this contract, owing to unexpected delays. 
The takings of a portion of the lands of the Burnetts’, and of 
the Deerfoot Farm Company, were made in such a way that 
the land, after being filled; was to be restored to the original 
owners, the city reserving simply a narrow strip in the 
centre of the takings. An injunction was brought, by the 
parties interested, to prevent the city working on the land 
where the easement only was taken; and this injunction has 
not been dissolved. 

In May, plans and specifications were drawn for the build- 
ing of two roads, in Framingham and Southboro’, to replace 
a road running across the site of the new dum. Advertise- 
ments were issued for proposals, and the following bids re- 


ceived:

The contract was awarded on June 7 to Berry Brothers 
for $12,242.75. This work was completed by the end of the 
year, and cost $12,670.63. It was designated as “a portion 
of proposed Framingham-Marlboro’ road,” and “ proposed 
road to F. S. Hawkins.” ‘The first named extends from 
the present Framingham road, near the house of N. F. 
Brewer, a distance of 4,229 feet, and the second road is a 
branch of the first, extending from a point 1,300 feet easterly 
from Stony brook to the present highway near the house of 
F. S. Hawkins, a distance of 3,567 feet. 

The above contracts embrace all the work that has been 
undertaken during the year in connection with the pro- 
posed basin. Many engineering problems have, however, 
been studied and surveys made preparatory to next season’s 
work. It is highly desirable that a large part of the con- 
struction should be undertaken at once. Many expenses 
will he saved, such as police duty, etc., and the bottom 
could be flowed in the spring of 1896, which would enable 
us to gain a whole year in time.

Before the dam was begun deep borings were made to 
determine the position of the bed-rock in the foundation and 
its nature. It was known from these borings that the rock 
was extremely rotten in places, and much broken by seams 
of slate, etc. When the foundations were opened, however, 
and excavation begun, it was thought best to go much deeper 
than the original plan contemplated. 

Every precaution has been taken to go as deep and to ex- 
cavate the soft rock as widely as practicable. The rubble 
laid in the trench was of unusually good character, thor- 
oughly imbedded in cement, and most carefully and consci- 
entiously inspected. . 

In September a few cases of typhoid fever developed at 
the dam, and soon spread with something of the nature of an 
epidemic. As its origin seemed mysterious, Prof. Wm. T. 
Sedgwick was asked to make an investigation. He found 
the source of the fever to be in some cheap milk sold in 
Marlboro’, A sanitary system of inspection was estab- 
lished at once, and vigorous efforts made to keep the disease 
from spreading. For this or other reasons we had the satis- 
faction of seeing the epidemic die away gradually. 

No unusual growths of alge have occurred this year in 
the sources of supply, but the color of the water in the city 
taps has been .57 at Park square, and .51 at Mattapan, on 
the average. [Platinum scale.] Last year it was .55 and 
.O0 at the same places, showing a slight increase. The con- 
sumption of water has been less this year than last year, and 
other things being equal the color should have been less, on 
account of the fact that all the water sent to the city beyond 
a certain fixed amount received from Cochituate lake, is 
made up from the higher-colored Sudbury. Accurate color 
determinations have enabled us to trace the cause to the gen- 
eral higher color of the Sudbury water this year, and also 
that we have been unable to draw from Basin 3, during the 
epidemic of typhoid at the head-waters of that basin. 

During the latter part of the year a large amount of land 
was bonded in Cedar swamp for the proposed drainage 
scheme, and there is now no reason why this work should 
not be undertaken during the coming season. 

When the Framingham sewerage system was constructed 
a few years ago, an “underdrain was built under the sewer. 
This underdrain served the purpose of carrying off the soil 
water which found its way into the trenches ‘during construc- 
tion. The authorities of Framingham kept this underdrain 
open and discharged it into Beaver Dam brook for several 
years after the completion of the system. It served the val- 


uable purpose to the town of lowering the water tables and 


44 Crtry DocumEntT No. 39. 


keeping the cellars dry. Boston, however, took the ground 
that this underdrain was a constant menace to the purity of 
the waters of Beaver Dam brook, a feeder of Lake Cochitu- 
ate. Analyses of the water were made at stated intervals, 
and a close watch maintained on the condition of the effluent. 
Boston also refused to pay the $25,000 which it had agreed 
to subscribe towards the Framingham sewerage scheme as 
long as the underdrain was maintained. A number of studies 
were made to determine how the matter could be settled. 
All differences between the city and town were adjusted in 
December by an agreement on the part of the town to adopt 
_the recommendation of the city and construct some filter 
beds not far from the sewage pumping-station upon which 
the underdrain water could be discharged. Boston pays 
$6,000 more, or $31,000 altogether, a the plans are car- 
ried out, and it is expected that the work will be done early 
in the coming summer. ‘The amount of water to be pumped 
from the underdrain was measured for a long time over a 
weir, and found to average 160,000 gallons daily. Three 
final projects were submitted to the town for the disposal of 
this water: No. 1. by pumping on to filter beds situated on 
the south-west side of the hill near the pumping-station ; No. 
2, by pumping to filter beds on the north-east side of the hill ; 
and No. 3, by mixing the underdrain water with the sewage 
and pumping it altogether to the present sewage fields out- 
side of the water-shed. The estimated cost of these schemes 
was $7,430 for No. 1, $10,402 for No. 2, and $7,025 for 
No. He

876,900,000 ; below 159. 29, 288,400, 000 gals. 


On January 1, 1894, this basin stood at elevation 155.55, 
and remained at about this height until January 29, when it 
gradually fell to 154.90, February 14. On February 23 
water was wasting over the stone crest, and continued to 
waste till April 3. 

On April 4, when both sets of flash-boards were placed on 
the dam, the bash was at 157.343; but it soon rose; and on 
April 7 Water was wasting over the flash-boards, and con- 
tinued to waste till April 10, when the waste-gates were 
opened, to lower the basin, so as to remove flash-boards. 
On April 12 waste over the stone crest began, and con- 
tinued until May 7, when both sets of flash-boards were 
again placed in position. From May 26 to June 14 water 
flowed over the flash-boards. The basin fell to 157.32, Oc- 
tober 25; and then rose to 157.70, November 8, when, both

sets of flash-boards being removed, waste over the stone 
crest began, and continued until December 38. The’ basin 
fell to 156.52 on December 5, and was kept at about ele- 
vation 156.50 until December 14, when it rose, and, on De- 
cember 16 water was wasting over the stone crest. 

The highest elevation reached during the year was 159.62, 
May 29; and the lowest, 154.90, February 14. 

Water was drawn wholly from this basin for the supply 
of the city, from 7 A.M., January 1, to 1 P.M., March 15; 
and from 11 A.M., December 3, to the end of the year. 

The supply was drawn partially from this basin and: par- 
tially from Basin 2, from 3 P.M., October 30, to 3 P.M., 
October 31; and partially from this basin and partially 
from Basins 2 and 3, from 1 P.M., March 15, to 11 A.M., 
April 10. | 

If the work of improving the shallow flowage of this basin 
is to be undertaken this year, it will be necessary to make a 
topographical survey of the basin at once. 


Basin 2. 


Grades, H. W.,168.00; Topsof Flash-boards, 167.12and 166.49; Crestof Dam, 165.87. 

Area, Water Surface, 1384 acres; Greatest Depth, 17 ft.; Contents, below 168.00, 
568,300,000 ; below 167.12, 529,860,000 gals. 

January 1, 1894, the water in this basin was at elevation 
160.17; but it fell to 159.15, January 15. It then rose to 
160.00, January 18; and kept between 160.00 and 161.00 
until February 10, when it rose slightly, and remained at 
about 161.50 until February 19. A rapid rise then ensued, 
and on February 22 water was flowing over the stone crest, 
and continued to overflow until April 4, when both sets of 
flash-boards were placed in position. On February 6 water 
began to overflow the flash-boards, and so continued until 
February 12, when both sets of flash-boards were removed. 
Waste over the stone crest continued till May 7, when both 
sets of flash-boards were again placed in position. On May 
25 wuter commenced to waste over the flash-boards, and so 
continued until June 5, when an extra set of flash-boards 
was placed on the regular flash-boards. The basin then 
rose a little on June 5; but then fell to 160.06, July 17, 
when the flow of water from Basin 4 was started, and the 
basin rose to 162.02, August 1. From August 1 to Decem- 
ber 1 there was a gradual rise each month between the fol- 
lowing levels: 

In August, from 161.66 to 162.70; in Septemher, from 
162.33 to 163.10; im October, from 162.94 to 164.36; and 
in November, from 163.34 to 165.17. 

During the above-mentioned months water was drawn the 


ea City Document No. 39. 


larger part of the time, — first from Basin 4, and afterwards 
from Basin 6, —to keep Basin 2 moderately full; and also, 
when not needed for that purpose, to keep the elevation of 
the basin from fluctuating during the experiments at the si- 
phon pipes. On December 1 the basin stood at grade 
164.55; and then fell to 163.94, on December 3, when it 
began to rise; and on December 15 water flowed over the 
stone crest, and continued to overflow until the end of the 
year. 

Both sets of flash-hoards were placed in position on April 
4; removed on April 12; and again placed in position on 
May 7. On June 5 an extra set of flash-boards was placed 
on the regular ones; but all flash-boards were finally re- 
moved on July 27. 

The highest elevation of the basin reached during the 
year was 167.36, on June 6; and the lowest, 159.15, on 
January 15. 

Water for the supply of the city was drawn wholly from 
this basin from 11 A.M., May 19, to 11 A.M., May 21; 
from 11 A.M., June 11, to 11 A.M., June 20; from 7 A.M.,

November 17; from 3 P.M., November 21, to 1.20 P.M., 
November 22; and from 3 P.M., November 27, to 3 P.M., 
December 1. 

Water was drawn partially from this basin and partially 
from Basin 1, from 3 P.M., October 30, to 3 P.M., October 
31; partially from this basin and partially from Basin 3, 
from 11 A.M., April 10, to 11 A.M., May 19; from 11

the basin, and partially fromBasins 1 and 3, from 1 P.M., 
March 15, to 11 A.M.,. April 10. 

In the spring, Fountain-street bridge was entirely re- 
planked, as both the bottom and top floors were found to be 
in need of renewal. This was the first time that the bottom 
floor was renewed, though the top floor had been partially 
renewed several times before. The bottom floor was 3-in. 
hard-pine, and the top 2-in. spruce. In the autumn, the 
windows in the gate-house, at Dam 2, were repaired, and 


W ATER—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 47 


the frames and sashes painted on both sides. The windows 
had not been touched before since the house was built. All 
of the woodwork in the house, except the floor and ceiling, 
was varnished, 

All forms of animal and vegetable life have been unusually 
low during 1894. In September diatoms appeared in small 
quantities. Chlorophycez and Cyanophycee were present 
oceasionally from June to October. Infusoria were found in 
small numbers in the spring and fall and occasionally during 
the summer. ‘The mean number of organisms in standard 
units was 42 per c.c., and the mean amorphous matter 332 
per c.c. 

The mean mid-depth temperature of the water during the 
year was 52.8° Fahrenheit, based.on weekly observations. 

The mean color was .89, new standard | platinum].

On January 1, 1894, the water in this basin stood at ele- 
vation 168.538, but it gradually rose, and on February 21 
was flowing over the stone crest, and continued to overflow 
until May 8, with the exception of a short time on April 3 
and 4. ‘The water now fell to 174.18 on May 12, but soon 
rose again, and on May 23 was flowing over the stone crest, 
and overflowed until June 6. The water then receded to 
168.41, July 19, 20, and 21, when it gradually rose to 170.46 
on August 6. The water now remained between 170.00 and 
172.00 until October 26, when it rose rapidly, and on 
November 8 was flowing over the stone crest, and continued 
to overflow until December 4. It receded to 174.81 on 
November 6, remained nearly stationary until December 13, 
then rose rapidly, and on December 14 was flowing over 
stone crest, and overflowed until the end of the year. 

The highest elevation reached was 176.14 on March 7, and 
the lowest 168.41 on July 19, 20, and 21. 

Water for the supply of the city was drawn wholly from 
this basin from 2 P.M., May 23, to 11.80 A.M., May 26; 
from 7 A.M., Junel, to 2 P.M., June 4; and from 7 A.M., 
November 20, to 3 P.M., November 21. Water was drawn 
partially from this basin and partially from Basins 1 and 2 
from 1 P.M., March 15, to 11 A.M., April 10; partially 
from this basin and partially from Basin 2, on dates already 
given under the head of Basin 2. 

Almost no water was drawn from this basin during the 


48 City Document No. 39. ; 


summer on account of the epidemic of typhoid fever in Marl- 
boro’ and at Dam 5. 

Diatoms were present in the spring and fall. The spring 
growth was slight and of short duration. The maximum 
occurred April 23, when there were 200 per c.c., chiefly 
Tabellaria. The fall growth began in October, after the 
water had been stirred up by some very high winds. The 
maximum growth was attained in November, when there 
were about 700 per c.c. Asterionella and Tabellaria were 
most abundant and were about equal in number. Stephano- 
discus was present in October for the first time in Basin 3. 
Chlorophycesee were present in small numbers during the 
summer and fall. Cyanophycee did not appear until August. 
The growth was not as extensive as in former years, but 
during the last of September, and again in October, Ceelo- 
sphierium was abundant near the oate- house. Infusoria were 
found in small numbers in the spring and fall. 

The average number of standard units of organisms was 
220 per c.c., and of amorphous matter 311 per c.c. 

The average mid-depth temperature was 52.5° Fahrenheit, 
and the mean color of the water, platinum standard, 0.77, 
almost exactly the same as last year. 

Although the plans and specifications for the filter basins 
on the Marlboro’ brook were prepared more than a year ago, 
nothing has yet been done in the way of construction. I 
recommend that these basins be built as soon as the frost is 
out of the ground. 

The windows in the gate-house have been repaired, as in 
the case of the other dams already mentioned.

On January 1 the surface of the water in this basin stood 
at elevation 178.83; but the water gradually rose, and on 
June 6 was flowing over the flash-boards, both sets ee flash- 
boards having been placed on the stone crest on May 26. 
This waste continued until J uly 7, when the water began to 
fall, reaching 215.14 on July 17, ‘at which time the flow to 
Basin 2 was started. On September 11 the outlet gate was 
closed. The water fell from 215.14, July 17, to 185.01, 
September 12, making about 30 feet in depth drawn out of 
this basin in less than two months. From September 12 the 
water gradually rose to 196.10, December 31. 

The highest elevation reached during the year was 215.36, 
on June 27, and the lowest 178.83, on January 1. 


W ATER—SuPPLY DEPARTMENT. 49 


In April quite a large number of shrubs were set out near 
the banks of the outlet brook and the overflow, just below 
the dam, and in May some pine-trees were planted in front 
of the out-buildings near the attendant’s house. i 

In the spring the walks were all resurfaced and rolled. 

The organisms in this basin have been unusually low. 
Last year they averaged 87 per c.c.; this year, 23. The 
amorphous matter averaged last year 397 per c.c. ; this year, 
220 per ¢.c. 

The temperature at the surface has averaged 53.2°; mid- 
depth, 49.4°; bottom, 46.4°; and the color at the dam has 
averaged 0. 71, almost exactly the same as last year; and of 
the influent (regardless of quantity), 1.04. 


Basin 6. 


Grades, H. W., 295.00; Top of Flash-boards, 295.00; Crest of Dam, 294.00. 
Estimated Area, 185 Acres; Estimated Contents, 1,580,300,000 Gallons. 

Storage of water in this basin was for the first time begun 
by closing the outlet gate at 11 A.M., January 10, 1894, but 
no measurement of the elevation of the surface of the water 
was taken until 7 A.M., January 12, when it stood at grade 
248.91. The water rose rapidly to 288.26, May 1, then 
slowly to 292.66 on July 1, and remained nearly stationary 
during July. From August 1 it fell to 292.52 on Septem- 
ber 7, at which time one of the outlet gates was opened in 
order to draw water for the supply of the city. The water 
now fell to 274.19 on October 31, then rose to 275.28 on 
November 13, and kept at an average elevation of about 
275.25 until November 30, when, the outlet gate being 
finally closed, the water rose to 278.78 on December 31. 
The highest elevation reached during the year was 292.75, 
August 5 and 6. 

It will be seen from the above that the water from this 
basin was used for the first time to supply the city during the 
autumn. Although the paving was not completed until June 
7, the basin was “allowed to fill until the surface reached the 
pavers, and it was only by extra exertions that the contrac- 
tors succeeded in keeping out of the way of the water. It 
was fortunate for the city that this basin was completed and 
filled this year, as there would have been a short supply 
without this additional storage. 

The dam is the most complete and thorough in execution 
that the city has ever constructed. The leakage has been 
about 60,000 gallons per day — less than half that of Basin 
- 4, By aseries of vertical pipes built into the embankment 
at different points of its cross section, it has been found that 


50 Crry Document No. 39. 


the water table in the dam does not extend into the em- 
bankment below the line of the core wall, and that it perco- 
lates easily the fine material placed against the up-stream 
face of the core, following the rise and fall of the basin with 
only about 1 foot loss of head. The outside of the embank- 
ment was graded and the entire dam completed October 19. 

The filter basins below the dam were begun September 20, 
and one bed partially completed. 

The water in Basin 6 contained a slight growth of diatoms 
in May, and again in September and October, but at no time 
did they reach 100 per c.c. Chlorophycez were present in 
very small numbers in September and October. Cyanophy- 
cee were entirely absent from the water. In May and June. 
Synura were washed in from the swamp above the basin. 
Rotifers at that time were also quite abundant. Other 
infusoria were found in small numbers throughout the sum- 
mer and fall. Crenothrix was abundant near the dam in 
August. The amorphous matter was generally low, but 
about the last of September it became quite abundant. 

From observations on the color, and from numerous chem- 
ical analyses made while the basin was filling for the first 
time, it is thought that the basin is doing better work in the 
purification of its influent than Basin 4, but we cannot be 
surely convinced of this fact until we have had the opportu- 
nity to make further investigations. The stripping of the 
basin was done more thoroughly than in the case of Basin 4.

On January 1, 1894, the surface of the water in this pond 
stood at elevation 324.94, or 2.97 feet below high water. 
It remained at about this height until March 3, when it rose, 
reaching 326.20 on April 8. From this date the water re- 
mained ‘between 326.20 and 326.82, until June 4, and then 
fell to 324.35 on September 19, and then fell more rapidly 
to elevation 322.40 on October 25. The water now rose to 
elevation 322.59 on October 27, remained about stationary 
until November 3, rose to elevation 322.72 on November 7, 
fell to 822.39 on December 7, and finally rose to 323.23 on 
the 31st. 

The highest point reached was 326.82, on June 4, and the 
lowest, 322, 39, on December 7. 

No more water than was necessary for the use of Wood 
Brothers’ shoe factory was drawn from the pond during the 
year with the exception of a short time from August 17 to

August 21, and from September 13 to October 18, when a 
daily flow of about ten millions was drawn to keep up the 
supply of water for Basin 2. The outlet gate was closed 
and no water drawn from the pond from July 1 to July 9, 
and from December 7 to December 31. 

Weir measurements of the waste, both when the gate was 
open and closed, have been taken as usual during the entire 

ear. 
: In the spring the scows and dredger which were anchored 
in the pond were found to be in a bad condition. The wood 
of the sides and bottom had commenced to decay, and they 
and the steamer were towed down the pond to the dam and 
drawn out on the shore. Openings were made in the ends 
of the scows and dredger to permit the circulation of air 
through them, and their decks were thoroughly calked and 
then painted.

On January 1, 1894, the water in the pond stood at ele- 
vation 148.74, but it rose gradually, and on February 21 had 
reached high-water mark. From this date the water re- 
mained on an average somewhat above high water until June 
14, when it gradually fell to 148.17 on September 16. The 
water stood at about this height until October 25, when it 
rose to 148.50 on November 6, and reached 148.79 on De- 
cember 31. 

No water was drawn from this pond during the year for 
the supply of Boston. 

The Framingham Water Company has pumped 117,000,- 
000 gallons during the year, an average of 320,548 gallons 
daily. 

The total amount of water wasted was 5,400,000 gallons, 
all of which was used in cleaning the aqueduct.

On January 1, 1894, the lake stood at 127.94, and grad- 

ually fell to 127.33 on February 13. From this date the 


lake began to rise. Between March 13 and June 16 water 
from the Sudbury river was turned into the lake. On April 
26 the surface reached 134.20. It was kept a little above 
134.00 with the aid of the Sudbury supply until June 16, 


when it gradually fell to 126.10 on December 15, and then 


52 Ciry Document No. 39. 
rose to 126.30 on December 31. No water has been wasted 
from the lake at the outlet during the year. 

In March 529,100,000 gallons were turned into the lake 
from the Sudbury sources; in April, 134,100,000; May, 
215,800,000; June, 80,700,000; October, 1,100,000; No- 
vember, 400,000; December, 1,000,000 gallons; or a total 
amount of 962,200,000 gallons. 

Some repairs were made during the autumn to the drive- 
way near the outlet dam, and the embankment of the old 
dam was taken down to a level a few feet below high-water 
mark. Nine hundred and twenty-seven square yards of 
paving were placed on the slopes of the driveway. 

The filter beds at Pegan brook have been used the larger 
part of the time during the year.

on March 3 and 4, and on April 18, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 
and 20. Bed No. 1 was cleaned in June and September ; 
Bed No. 2 was cleaned, and the surface — which was quite 
uneven — was levelled in August ; and Bed No. 3 was cleaned 
in July and August. Although the water in No. 3 froze 
during the cold weather in January and February so as to 
form ice six inches thick, the surface of the bed did not 
freeze. 

On February 22 the embankment of Bed No. 1, directly 
over No. 2 drain, caved in, and the force main was broken. 
In consequence of this break, no water could be pumped 
on to the filter beds until February 26. 

About two hundred feet of underdrain were dug up in 
May, and relaid; and, besides this work, a considerable 
amount of labor has been expended in putting the filter beds 
into better condition. We have found no trouble in filtering 
the whole flow of the brook during the winter. In very 
severe weather the ice sometimes becomes attached to the 
bottom of the beds, but the applied water finds its way 
through holes under the ice, and filters through the sand. 

Diatoms appeared as usual in April and November. The 
spring growth reached its maximum, 700 standard units per 
c.c., during the later part of May, when Melosira, Asterio- 
nella, and Tabellaria were present in about equal numbers. 
In May Melosira and Asterionella disappeared, but the 
Tabellaria continued to increase until June, when there were 
about 450 per c.c. Stephanodiscus was present during May . 
and June. Diatoms were absent from the water from July 
1 to October 1. Asterionella appeared in October and in- 
creased gradually to 700 per ¢.c. on December 12, after 
which they rapidly declined. Melosira and Stephanodiscus 
were present in small numbers during November and Decem- 
ber. Chlorophycee were present in small numbers from 
June to November. Cyanophycee were present from June 
to the end of the year. They were most abundant in Sep- 
tember. Infusoria were present in the spring and fall, and 
Crenothrix was abundant after the fall turning over. In 
December the water had a disagreeable taste, caused by the 
simultaneous presence of Asterionella, Synura, and Anabeena 
(sterile). 

The southern extremity of Lake Cochituate is separated 
from the lake by what is known as the circular dam. The 
bottom of this portion of the lake is a bed of peat and mud 
of considerable depth. In August an examination was made 
of the condition of the water over the peat. At that time the 
water was about five feet deep. At the bottom an intensely 
thick growth of weeds (chiefly Chara) was found, which were 


54. Crry Document No. 39. 


covered with a growth of oscillaria and some of the filament- 
uous green algze. Diatoms and desmids were abundant, and 
infusoria were found in swarms. ‘The effect of this growth 
of vegetable matter is probably to form a matting which in a 
measure prevents the stirring up of the mud. It is probable 
that if the mud was kept in a state of agitation by the wind 
the effect would be to discolor the water. This was shown 
by the following laboratory experiment : 

A mass of the mud was placed at the bottom of a jar and 
the jar filled with a practically colorless water, color 0.03. 
For the first twenty-four hours the water was very turbid. 
After two days it became quite clear in the upper portion of 
the jar. This clear water was then siphoned off, filtered 
through paper, and the color read. It was 0.30. 

Color samples taken throughout this portion of the lake 
did not show any material increase in color from the bottom :

Sample No. 4 was somewhat turbid. This could not be 
removed by filtering, and probably accounts in part at least 
for the high color.

On January 1, 1894, the pond was at elevation 130.36, or 
16.1 below high water. On February & the stop-planks 
were put in at the outlet-chamber, and the water rose slowly 
to 189.96 on December 31. 

In August and September the old gate-chamber was torn 
down and a new one built. The foundation of the old 
chamber was a wooden platform laid on about a foot of clay. 
The masonry of the new chamber was laid on concrete, one 
foot in depth, placed on a 2-in. spruce platform. It now 
contains an 18-in. iron valve to control the flow of water 
from the pond. Grooves have been built in the masonry 
for stop-planks.

Length, 15.89 miles + Size, 7 ft. 8 in. X 9 fl. ; Capacity, 109,000,000 gals. 24 hours. 


The three portions of this aqueduct are in goodcondition. 
The supply and Farm pond aqueducts were cleaned by ma- 
chine, February 20. The main aqueduct was cleaned by 
machine, between Station 46+00 and the West Siphon 
Chamber, on March 9. The tunnels between Farm pond 
and the West Siphon Chamber were cleaned by hand, ‘as was 
also that portion from Farm pond to Station 46--00, and 
from East Siphon Chamber to Chestnut-Hill Reservoir, on 
April 5 and 6. 

The 48-in. pipes in Basin 1 have been flushed into the 
river below Dam 1 once during the year. The three por- 
tions of the aqueduct have been in use for the same length of 
time, or 343.7 days, the flow having been stopped except for 
cleaning, and the experiments at the siphon pipes, on two 
occasions only, and then for but a few hours. 

The amount of water sent to the city has been 11,450,- 
600,000 gallons, or a daily average of 31,372,000 gallons. 
Besides the above, 962,200,000 gallons have been run to 
Lake Cochituate. 

New houses were built in the autumn over the manholes at 
Stations 17 and 59. 

On March 1 and 2 the Rockland and Badger Hill tunnels 
were cleaned, and on March 9 and 10 the westerly portion 
of the aqueduct, was cleaned by machine from Station 46 to 
the Siphon Chamber. The portion from Station 0 to Sta- 
tion 46 could not be cleaned on account of an accumulation 
of gas from leaks in the gas mains in South Framingham. 
This portion was, however, cleaned by hand on April 5 and 


56 City Document No. 39. 


8 after the gas difficulty had been overcome. At the same 
time the lower portion from the Easterly Siphon Chamber 
to Chestnut-Hill Reservoir was cleaned. The black deposit 
was less than in the westerly section, and there was no 
spongilla. In Beacon-street tunnel 8 cubic feet of rock 
which had fallen from the roof was found at Station 779+52. 
The concrete lining is in perfect condition. 

The channel at Clark’s Waste Weir has been repaired. 
The original masonry below the outlet was founded on sand, 
and it did not extend low enough to prevent scour. An ex- 
cavation 3 feet 8 inches in depth was made beneath the side 
walls and apron, and a layer of broken stone 2 feet 2 inches 
was rammed into place, and on top of this a layer of concrete 
1 foot in thickness was deposited and brought up by careful 
ramming to the under side of the old masonry. Paving laid 
in cement was placed on top of the concrete. 

The walk on top of Charles-river bridge was resurfaced 
with two coats of tar on July 16 and 19. 

A number of experiments have been made on the flow of 
water through the Rosemary Siphon pipes with different 
heads, and after these were completed the northerly pipe was 
carefully scraped November 12-15. The pipe had been in 
use about 18 years. It is 48 inches in diameter and 1,800 
feet long. The inside surface was about half covered with 
small tubercles. These were skilfully removed, and-care 
taken not to injure the old tar coating under the tubercles 
any more than was necessary. The capacity of the pipe was 
increased about 25 per cent. by the process, and its original 
condition nearly restored, as far as loss by friction is con- 
cerned. It took 4 days with 14 men to do the work of ° 
scraping. ‘Two tip-cart loads of iron rust were wheeled out, 
and the pipe carefully washed and brushed after the scraping. 
Each man scraped and cleaned 396 feet of surface per day. 

Some of the most experienced of the men on the aqueduct 
force have superintended the loaming and sodding at Dam 6. 

The condition of the Waban arches has been the subject 
of some solicitude on account of the action of frost. Ex- 
tended observations on these arches have been made, the re- 
sult of which has led me to believe that the permanency of the 
masonry is threatened by the freezing of the water at the ex- 
posed outlets, and the consequent accumulations of the water 
inside of the arches, saturating the spandrels until it runs 
out of the tell-tale pipes. It is not so difficult to provide a 
proper remedy when a correct diagnosis of the trouble has 
been reached, and some plan for providing a permanent out- 
let beyond the reach of frost, for the drainage of the leakage 
_ water, will be made during the coming season.

CocHITUATE AQUEDUCT. 


Grades, 121.08 at Lake; 116.77 at Brookline Reservoir. 
Length, 14.60 miles; Size, 5 ft. X 6 ft. Lin. ; Capacity, 20,000,000 gals. per 24 hours. 


This aqueduct has been in constant service during the 
year, excepting from 5 P.M.. March 18, to 5 A.M., March 
22, when the flow was stopped to clean the aqueduct. A 
depth of 64 feet was maintained, except from January 18 to 
January 30, from February 20 and from October 5 to end of 
the year, when the lake was not high enough to furnish this 
flow. 

When the aqueduct was cleaned spongilla was found be- 
tween the lake and Dedman’s brook in rather larger quanti- 
ties than usual. 

New rods have been provided for the gates at the Waste 
Weirs. The old rods have not been renewed since 1848, 
and were nearly rusted away around and beneath the nuts 
that held them in place. The new rods are of galvanized 
iron, 7 feet 8 inches long, 1# inches in diameter, with two 
composition nuts to each rod. 

The loam on the site of the new boulevard, Newton Centre, 
has been removed and stored on the line of the Sudbury 
aqueduct for future use. 

The siphon culverts have been thoroughly cleaned. 

On July 26 an accurate system of observations were made 
on the water flowing in the Cochituate aqueduct to ascertain 
whether there was any material difference in the color of the 
water due to the infiltration of ground water or any other 
cause. The colors were observed from 8 A.M. at the lake to 
7.30 P.M. at Chestnut-Hill Reservoir, the idea being to fol- 
low the same water as far as practicable in its passage under- 
ground. ‘The readings varied from .27 at the lake to .255 
at the reservoir, but the slight variations noticed were with- 
in the limits of accuracy of the colorimeter, and when com- 
pared in Nessler tubes no difference could be detected, so 
that it may be stated that there is no change in the color of 
the water in its passage from the lake to the reservoir.

minus of the pipe at Fisher-Hill Reservoir, to measure the 
water flowing from the pumps during duty trials. 

It will be necessary to make a direct connection during 
the present year with the Bradlee basin, from the pumps, 
on account of the difficulty of keeping up the head in the

During the year 1894, 2,475 microscopical examinations 
of water, 100 examinations of sand, and 2,200 cultures of 
bacteria, were made at the laboratory. 

The following is a list of some of the special studies made 
during the year: 

The color of the water in the different basins and their in- 
flowing streams, with reference to the seasonal changes. 

The study of certain species of bacteria found in the 
water. 


W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 59 


The fermentation tube, and its use in determining the 
presence of Coli communis in the water. 

The effect of sunlight on bacteria. 

The effect of varying degree of acidity of culture media on 
bacterial growth. 

The microscopical examination of the scum on the surface 
of sand filters. 

The cause of the seasonal distribution of some of the mi- 
cro-organisms found in the water. 

Culture experiments with certain diatoms, with reference 
to their need of air. 

The temperature of the water in the different reservoirs, 
with special reference to the phenomenon of stagnation. 

Attention has frequently been called’in the reports of the 
Western Division for several years past to the various phe- 
nomena connected with the period of “stagnation” in Lake 
Cochituate and other basins or sources’ of supply. In the 
seventeenth annual report for 1892, several diagrams were 
given, showing the temperatures in the lake, every five feet 
in depth, from April until December. Many years ago the 
writer thought he had discovered some of the effects of this 
extraordinary condition of things prevailing during seven 
months of the year, but he found in some of the very early 
reports of the department references to the same phenomena, 
showing that they were in a measure understood soon after 
the Cochituate works were built. The studies pursued dur- 
ing the past five years have, however, thrown more light 
on many of the details connected with the changes in the tem- 
perature of water, and it may not be out of place to draw up 
a brief résumé of the subject of “stagnation,” as it has been 
observed on the Boston Water-Works. 

As far as the temperatures of water in deep ponds are 
concerned, the year may be divided into three parts. Dur- 
ing the winter, that is to say, in December, January, and 
February, the water at the bottom is warmer than at the 
surface, it being at about 39.2, the point of maximum den- 
sity, but varying several degrees from this point, depending 
upon expanse, depth, and local circumstances. On the 
breaking up of the ice in March, April, and also during the 
“ great overturning ” in November, the water is in complete 
circulation, and “has the same temperature throughout. 
During the other seven months, April to November, the 
water is colder at the bottom, and warmer at the Serres 
This embraces the different conditions ; two periods of “ stag- 
nation,” one short one in the winter, when the surface is 
colder than the bottom; one long one in the summer, when 


60 | ~ Ciry Document No. 39. 


the opposite conditions of temperature prevail, and the pe- 
riods of circulation in April and November. 

The long period of “stagnation” in the summer is by far 
the most interesting and important in results. In Lake Cochit- 
uate at a depth of sixty feet, when the upper layers begin to 
grow warmer in the spring, the water is left at the bottom 
with a temperature of about 44°, and at this temperature it 
remains for more than half the year without any change 
whatever. If the diagrams already published and alluded 
to be studied, it will be seen that the effects of the wind are 
generally not felt below ten feet in depth; that is to say, the 
upper ten feet are practically of the same temperature in the 
summer. The effects of heat and of stirring up, finally, by 
the middle of July bring the temperatures of ‘the fifteen-feet 
curve nearly to the surface. At twenty feet there is very 
little effect, the water remaining for three months at that 
depth about 15° cooler than the surface. 

In a larger lake it is probable that the effects of the wind 
are felt much below twenty feet, but it is practically true that 
in Lake Cochituate the effects of the wind are not felt more 
than twelve feet from the surface. From twenty to sixty feet 
there is a steady decrease in temperature, without material 
variation, to the sixty-foot line, where the temperature main- 
tains a perfectly level line throughout, with hardly a varia- 
tion of a tenth of a degree. 

We will now see what are some of the effects of this 
phenomenon which we are discussing. The water in the 
summer may have a temperature as high as 84°, observed 
by the writer, feeling like warm water to the hand when the 
Jatter is immersed in it. By sinking a bottle in the same 
spot to a depth of sixty feet, water at 43° — practically ice 
cold water — may be brought to the surface. But this water 
at the bottom is not of good quality. While it has been 
lying in a quiescent condition during the summer, it has been 
gradually accumulating all the settlings from the water 
above, so that at the depth of forty feet it may be of. the 
color of lemonade, while at the bottom it is very yellow and 
full of dirt. The water, too, at these depths is deficient in 
oxygen, and would not be at all suitable for domestic pur- 
poses. The water on the surface, on the contrary, during 
these whole seven months, is clear, white, sparkling, and in 
excellent condition for drinking. 

As the water cools in the autumn the lake gradually turns 
completely over, and generally by the middle of November 
the process has been completed, and the water is of the 
same temperature from top to bottom—as the bad water 
comes to the surface it distributes its long summer accu-

mulations in a most disagreeable manner. To be sure, : 
large amount of the organic matter is thus oxidized and 
otherwise destroyed, but while this is going on the diatoms 
and the infusoria find an abundant amount of food brought 
within their reach, with plenty of oxygen, and they begin to 
increase rapidly. The infusoria belong to the animal ‘king- 
dom, and the diatoms to the vegetable. The number of the 
latter may, therefore, be very much greater than the former 
without producing as bad tastes in the water. 

The winter period of stagnation to which we have alluded 
is due to a somewhat different cause. Here, although the 
water is four or five degiees warmer at the bottom than at 
the surface, it is nearer the point of maximum density, while 
the surface is lighter, although colder, being in the neighbor- 
hood of the freezing point. The effects of the turning over, 
however, in the spring, are exactly the same in principle as 
in November, although not as marked in degree. The dia- 
toms and infusoria increase largely in this period of circu- 
lation. 

The microscopical examinations which are made weekly 
in the laboratory of the Western Division show all’ these 
various phases perfectly. 

No résumé of stagnation phenomena would be complete 
without a reference to the amount of iron contained in the 
bottom layers. This whole subject of iron in natural waters 
will be found most fully discussed in the report for 1892 
already alluded to. When the dark waters from the bottom 
are brought to the surface in the summer, they rapidly grow 
darker, so that the color taken on the first exposure to the 
dight sometimes increases threefold by the time it has been 
brought into the laboratory for examination. The average of 
five different determinations made by Mr. Hollis, at my 
request, between the last of August and the first of Novem- 
ber, when the water at the bottom is at its maximum color, 
showed, during three successive summers, that the water at 
‘the bottom, on collection, had a color equal to six times that 
of water at the surface, and that after exposure the color in- 
croasea to twenty times that at the surface. 

The ferric hydrate in falling from the upper layers to the 
quiescent layers g gives up its oxygen for the further oxidation 
of the organic matter, and the iron is thus nearly all reduced 
to the ferrous or colorless form. When drawn to the surface 
and exposed to oxygen the ferrous changes rapidly to the 
ferric condition, giving a yellowish appearance to the water. 

A study of the degree and consequent effects of the sum- 
mer stagnation period gives us the means of judging both of 
the original purity of the water and the condition of the 


4 


62 City Document No. 39. 
; 

reservoir in which it is stored. Many engineers are disposed 
to sneer at the idea of the necessity for removing all the or- 
ganic matter from the bottom and sides of the valley which 
is to form a storage basin for a domestic supply. There is 
a marked difference in the condition of the water below the 
twenty-foot line in the summer in a properly prepared basin 
and one that is not treated. In the basins on the Boston 
Water-Works which have been stripped of loam, stumps, etc., 
and which have had their shallow flowage removed, the water 
is comparatively good all the way to the bottom even in 
October, when the effects of a long period of stagnation are 
best studied. Oxygen is present, showing that there is not 
enough organic matter present in a state of decomposition 
to use up the oxygen; the organisms are few, because there 
is not sufficient food to support large growths, and the amor- 
phous matter is small in amount. In a sheet of water not 
so treated, however, we find a very different condition of 
affairs: there is no oxygen at the bottom, a high color, much 
organic matter (where decay has been arrested from a lack 
of oxygen), and a considerable amount of amorphous matter. 
All of these objectionable characteristics are distributed 
throughout the whole vertical section on the overturning, 
in November, resulting in large growths of diatoms and in- 
fusoria. It is no wonder that the water occasionally “ tastes 
bad” under these conditions. 

The following more detailed description of the diatom and 
infusoria growths in the Boston reservoirs has been prepared 
by Mr. G. C. Whipple, assistant in charge of the laboratory 
work: 

Datoms, or, technically, the Diatomacee, are minute plants; 
forming a group of microscopic alge, remarkable for their 
siliceous epiderm, and for their variety of form and mark- 
ings. They are unicellular, though in some genera the cells 
are united into filaments. The cell contents consist of a 
membrane, cell sap, nucleus, chromatophore plates, and 
sometimes oil globules and starch grains. Living diatoms 
are surrounded | by a gelatinous envelope, which, on account 
of its transparency, can be seen only by adding coloring 
matter to the surrounding fluid. Of the cell contents biolo- 
gists are at the present time most interested in the oil glob- 
ules, because it is being proved that the oils present in the 
micro-organism are the direct cause of many of the bad 
tastes and odors of certain drinking-waters. 

Of the one hundred and more genera into which the dia- 
toms have been classified, there are not more than twenty 
that are commonly found in our water-supplies, and only six 
have, thus far, been found to be of practical importance ; 


W ATER—-SuPPLY DEPARTMENT. 63 


namely, Asterionella, Tabellaria, Melosira, Synedra, Ste- 
phanodiscus, and Diatoma. Some of the other genera 
occasionally met with are Cyclotella, Cymbella, Epithemia, 
Fragilaria, Gomphonema, Meridion, Navicula, Nitzschia, 
Pleurosigma, Schizonema, Stauroneis, and Surirella. 

The six most important genera are not always observed 
in the same reservoir. Generally there are certain diatoms 
peculiar in certain ponds. Lake Cochituate, for instance, 
often contains large growths of Asterionella, Tabellaria, 
and Melosira, and smaller growths of Synedra and Stepha- 
nodiscus. Basin No. 3 contains Asterionella, Tabellaria, and 
Synedra, but no Stephanodiscus nor Melosira. In Basin 
No. 2 only Synedra and Cyclotella are found. 

Diatoms appear with considerable regularity each spring 
and fall, but the genera which appear at any given season 
are not always the same. If we consider, for example, the 
spring growths in Lake Cochituate, we find that in 1890 the 
Asterionella first appeared, and that this growth was soon 
followed by one of Tabellaria. In 1891 the growth was 
chiefly Asterionella, Melosira appearing about the same 
time, but not developing to any great extent. In: 1892, 
Melosira was the predominant diatom ; in 1893, Melosira 
and Asterionella; and in 1894, Tabellaria, Asterionella, and 
Melosira. 

A comparison of the microscopical examinations of the 
different reservoirs of the Boston Water-Works shows that 
Basins No. 2 and No. 4 never have extensive diatom 
growths, but that in Basin No. 3 and Lake Cochituate these 
plants develop regularly in the spring and fall. 

There are two periods of the year, each about six weeks 
long, when the water is in circulation from top to bottom. 
It is during these periods that the diatoms develop. Micro- 
scopical examinations have shown that both in Basin No. 3 
and in Lake Cochituate the diatom growths occur soon after 
stagnation ends. The Asterionella, for instance, generally 
appears about one week after the turning over. It then in- 
creases, reaching its maximum growth in from twenty-five 
to fifty days. 

The bottom temperature of Lake Cochituate is consider- 
ably lower than the bottom temperature of Basin No. 3 
during the summer months, on account of its greater depth ; 
hence its turning over occurs later in the year. This ex- 
plains why the fall growth of diatoms occurs later in Lake 
Cochituate. | 

The examinations of the State Board of Health furnish 
corroborative evidence that the seasonal distribution of 
diatoms is controlled by the circulation and stagnation of the 


64 Ciry Document No. 39. 


water. This may be seen by comparing the diatom growths 
in deep and shallow ponds. On the assumption that diatoms 
grow best immediately after the turning over, we should 
expect to find in the deep ponds two periods of diatom 
erowth,— one in the spring, following the winter stagnation, 
and one in the fall, after the summer stagnation. In the case 
of shallow ponds, however, we should expect to find a spring 
growth following the winter stagnation, and for the rest of 
the year a uniform or irr egular distribution. This is found 
to be the case. Of twelve ponds and reservoirs more than 
30 feet deep, eleven show a well-defined spring and _ fall 
growth, while in one instance the growth was uniformly dis- 
tributed ; and of seventeen ponds and reservoirs less than 30 
feet deep, eleven have diatom growths appearing at irregular 
intervals, but having a slight spring maximum, while four 
have both a spring and a fall growth. 

Infusoria. —'The water of the Sudbury and Cochituate 
water-supplies ordinarily contains very few organisms which 
can properly be classed as animals. Probably 95 per cent. 
of the total number of micro-organisms found each year are 
plant forms. Nevertheless, the animal forms are important, 
because a comparatively small number is sometimes sufficient 
to make the water very disagreeable, and because they are 
liable to sudden and extraordinary developments, when, if 
they increase sufficiently, the water may be rendered entirely 
unfit for use. The worst tastes which have appeared in the 
water-supplies of Massachusetts have been caused by growths 
of infusoria. 

Because of the importance of these micro-organisms the 
following data have been brought together in regard to 
the infusoria and other animal forms found in the waters of 
the Boston supply. 

The animal micro-organisms usually found in surface 
waters are ordinarily classified by biologists under the fol- 
lowing heads: 


Rhizapoda. 
Infusoria. 
Rotifera. 
Crustacea. 


A few forms are found which cannot be included in this 
classification ; for instance, the fresh-water sponges, Hydra, 
certain insect larvee, and certain worms. 

Hydra vulgaris, a very interesting animal belonging to 
the Hydroid Zoéphytes, is often found on the walls of the 
gate-houses, on the screens, etc. It is of no special interest, 
however, from a sanitary point of view. 


W ATER-SuPPLY DEPARTMENT. 65 


Fresh-water sponge is quite abundant on the walls of the 
aqueducts. Both Spongilla and Meyenia have been found. 
They belong to the Spongide, or Porifera, a class of Pro- 
tozoa. . A favorite habitat of the Spongilla is on the walls of 
the Cochituate aqueduct just below the gate-house at the 
lake. Another place where it is very abundant i is in White- 
hall pond, where it grows on the old stumps in the shallow 
flowage. Several genera are found there, and they often 
grow into masses of considerable size. Spongilla also grows 
to some extent in the city mains. This may be inferred from 
the fact that at certain seasons the sponge- ‘spicules are found 
in the samples from the city taps (Park square), while at 
the same time they are absent from the water as it leaves the 
reservoirs. At times sponge collects in considerable quanti- 
ties on the screens at Chestnut-Hill and Brookline Reservoir 
gate-houses. At present the sponge gives little or no 
trouble, save for the labor of cleaning it “from the walls of 
the aqueducts ; but in 1878 it developed in considerable 
quantities, and was thought to be the cause of the “ cucum- 
ber taste” which at that time rendered the water very disa- 
greeable. 

Among the vermes may be mentioned Anguwillula fluvia- 
tilis, a nematoid worm akin to the vinegar eel. This is 
sometimes found in stagnant water, and especially in water 
contaminated by sewage. It is very seldom observed in the 
Boston reservoirs, and is never seen in the service-pipes, 
except, perhaps, at some dead end. 


RHIZOPODA. 


The rhizopods are quite unimportant. They are never 
found in reservoirs in large numbers. In the Boston water 
they have seldom been observed. One reason for this is the 
fact that there are but a few genera which are naturally free- 
swimming. The rhizopods love best to move slowly along 
in the ooze at the bottom of a pond, or to congregate on the 
stems and leaves of some aquatic plant. Most of them are 
quite sluggish in theiraction. They are contented to remain 
quietly on some submerged stem or log, and allow their food 
to be brought to them. Occasionally they are found freely 
floating in the water. Amaba, Actenophrys, Arcella, Eu- 
glypha, Difflugia, Trinema have been observed at different 
times. Amaba may be found at almost any time by scrap- 


ing the walls and screens of the gate-house. 


66 Crtry DocumMEntT No. 39. 


ROTIFERA. 


The rotifers, or wheel-animalcules, are quite often seen in 
all of the reservoirs, but never in large numbers. -Anwreea 
is the most common one, and several species of it are found. 
Other genera which have been observed are the following : 


*Rotifer vulgaris. 

* Conochilus. 

* Polyarthra. 

* Syncheeta. 
Asplanchna. 
Triarthra. 
Mastigocerca. 
Floscularia. 
Lacinularia. 
Brachionus. 


“ 


Those which are starred are the most important. 

Conochilus appears in Basins 2 and 3 during the early 
part of each summer. It is also frequently present during 
the periods of the Cyanophycee growths in Basin 3, 7.e., in 
August and September. The largest number of rotifers 
which we have ever seen in a single sample was found in the 
estuary of Beaver Dam brook, June 30, 1892, when there 
were eighty Conochilus per cubic centimeter. This is equiv- 
alent to about 1,600 standard units. The water at that 
time had quite a strong taste, but as other organisms were 
present at the same time, the distinctive taste of Conochilus 
could not be determined. 


CRUSTACEA. 


Among the Crustacea the Cyclops and Diaptomus, belong- 
ing to the order Copepoda, and the Daphnia, Bosmina, and 
Alona, of the order Cladocerca, are frequently found. They 
are found at all seasons, but chiefly during the summer 
months. Cyclops in its adult and Nauplius forms is the most 
important crustacean. 


INFUSORIA. 


The most important of the animal forms are the Infusoria. 
They form a very large group of Protozoa, in which there is 
found a large number of free-swimming forms. 

The infusoria have been carefully studied by Ehrenberg, 
Stein, Pritchard, and others. W. Saville Kent, in his 
“ Manual of the Infusoria,” published in 1880, has given very 
complete descriptions and a classification of all the known 
infusoria, At the end of this report will be found a key to 


W ATER—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 67 


the identification of the infusoria commonly found in the 
Boston water-supply. It is based on Kent’s classification. 

Many of the infusorial forms are sedentary. They may be 
found on the leaves and stalks of water-weeds, and on the 
fresh-water alge growing in shallow ponds or along the 
edges of brooks. These occasionally become detached from 
their seats, and are found floating in the water. There are 
others, not sedentary, which find their food only among the 
fresh-water alge. They spend their whole life swimming 
about these plants. They, too, are sometimes found floating 
in the water. Certain genera, however, are not confined to 
the shores and shallow waters, but are able to find: suste- 
nance in deeper waters. ‘They are the infusoria which cause 
trouble. 

Such infusoria must, obviously, find their food-supply in 
the water itself, and it naturally follows that they will be 
most abundant where there is plenty of food for them, and 
that they will appear at those seasons of the year when their 
food is most abundant. Comparatively little is known in 
regard to the food required by the different infusoria; but | 
certain general principles have been laid down to serve as 
guides. 

The infusoria are classed in the animal kingdom. They 
differ in many respects from the plant micro-organisms with 
which they are often found. According to Kent, “the primary 
basis for the distinction between the plants and animals is 
associated with the phenomena of nutrition. In a general 
way it may be said that animals have the capacity to ingest 
solid particles of food, and depend upon such solid food 
ingestion for their growth and the display of their various 
vital functions. Plants, on the other hand, are nourished by 
the absorption of their food in a purely liquid state. Chemi- 
cally, also, there is a difference between the food of animals 
and that of plants. Animal forms are, absolutely dependent 
on proteaceous, or ready-manufactured, organic matter for 
their food-supply ; but plants, with a few exceptions, are 
able to manufacture this substance themselves out of the 
crude material distributed, in the liquid or gaseous condition, 
in the fluids which they imbibe.” 

From the foregoing we may infer that among the conditions 
necessary for the erowth of infusoria one of the most impor- 
tant is a sufficient abundance of very minute particles of 
organic matter distributed through the water; and to this, 
experience justifies us in adding a sufficient supply of oxy- 
gen. A study of the local and seasonal distribution of the 
infusoria indicates that these conditions are fulfilled whenever 
the infusoria develop in large numbers. 


68 City Document No. 39. 


SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION. 


The microscopical examination of over 12,000 samples of 
water from the reservoirs of the Boston water-supply during 
the past five years has given us an excellent idea of the 
seasonal distribution of the infusoria in those reservoirs. 
The results of these examinations have been collated, and a 
partial summary of them is given in the following table:

Centimeter of Water during each Month of the Year.

In the reservoirs mentioned in the table the samples were 
collected each week from the surface, mid-depth, and bottom. 
The results are expressed in Number of Standard Units 
(one standard unit equals 400 square microns) per c.c., and 
the figures indicate the average numbers for each month of 
the year. Each figure represents the average of about 
seventy-five samples. 

An inspection of curves plotted from the table shows that 
there are two well-defined maxima, one in April and the 
other in November. In the summer the growth is much 
lower, but yet is of some importance. During the winter in- 
fusoria are also found, and usually just under the ice, where 
the oxygen is most abundant. There is a striking contrast 


W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 69 


between the Boston Water-Works curve and those given by 
Mr. G. N. Calkins and by Prof. S. W. Williston, the former 
for the water-supplies of Massachusetts, based on the exam- 
ination of 912 samples from 26 supplies during three years, 
and the latter for the water-supplies of Connecticut, based 
on the examination of about 300 samples from 12 supplies of 
the State during a period of two years. 

The Massachusetts curve differs from the Boston curve at 
all points of inflection. It has two maxima, —a major max- 
jmum in February and a minor maximum in July. The 
lowest point on the Massachusetts curve is found in Novem- 
ber, when the Boston curve is at one of its maxima. ‘The 
Connecticut curve agrees with the Massachusetts curve in 
having a February maximum, and with the Boston curve 
in having a November maximum. ‘The reason for the differ- 
ences between these curves is that both the Massachusetts 
and Connecticut curves are based on results obtained from 
a large number of water-supplies differing greatly in their 
character. 

That fact also accounts for the irregularity of those curves. 
Some supplies have immense growths of infusoria in the 
winter, others in the summer; and these excessive growths 
in a few supplies control the shape of the curves, regardless 
of the smaller numbers which may be found with great regu- 
larity in other places. This emphasizes the fact that each 
water-supply must be studied by itself. 

There is a striking similarity between the shape of the 
curve representing the seasonal distribution of infusoria and 
that of the seasonal distribution of diatoms. Both have well- 
marked spring and fall maxima, and it is a noteworthy fact 
that these maxima occur at those times when the water is in 
complete circulation from the top to the bottom. This com- 
plete circulation occurs in the spring, after the ice has broken 
up, and in the fall, after the summer stagnation has ceased. 
There appears to be a logical reason why the growths should 
occur at this time. 

When the water turns over in the spring and fall, the lower 
layers are brought to the surface. These lower layers of 
water are somewhat heavily charged with partially decom- 
posed organic matter, and when this organic matter comes in 
contact with the oxygen, which is abundant near the surface, 
its oxidation is completed. The oxidation is indicated by 
the increase in the nitrates, and is brought about, of course, 
through the agency of bacteria. At the bottom of the reser- 
voirs there is a deposit of very finely divided organic matter. 
When the water turns over, much of this is se: attered through 
the water. At the same time it is probable that various 


70 Criry Document No. 39. 


plants and animals which have been lying in a dormant con- 
dition are also brought up and scattered through the water. 
Finding themselves liberally provided with food, both 
diatoms and infusoria develop rapidly. The infusoria find 
their food in the fine particles of organic matter brought up— 
from the bottom, in the organic matter of the growing 
plants, and in the bacteria which are carrying on the decom- 
position ; furthermore, oxygen is abundant. 

These conditions are best illustrated in Lake Cochituate, 
where the stagnation phenomena are most marked. In 
Basins 2, 3, and 4 the growths occur in the spring and fall ; 
but the conditions in those basins are somewhat modified by 
the drawing down of the basins, and the fact that extensive 
growths of infusoria are sometimes washed into the basins 
from the swamps and ponds on the upper portions of the 
water-shed. If we consider Basin 3, for instance, we find 
that there is a spring growth in April, as in Lake Cochituate. 
Late in the summer the infusoria begin to increase, and they 
ordinarily reach their maximum orowth i in October; but in 
November, 1893, the Synura and Dinobryon developed in 
very large numbers in the mill-ponds a short distance above 
the head of the basin, and these were soon washed into the 
basin. Apparently they found the conditions favorable to 
their growth, for they remained abundant for several weeks. 
It was this growth that caused the maximum point on the 
Basin 3 curve to appear in November instead of in October. 
Basin 2 has occasionally been seeded in like manner. 

As the various genera of infusoria differ somewhat in re- 
gard to their peor distribution, and their effect on the 
water, it is best to consider each genus separately. The fol- 
lowing are some of the infusoria found in the Boston water- 
supply : 

Dinobryon is one of the most common infusoria in water- 
supplies. It is found every year in the Boston water,.but 
never in numbers sufficient to cause trouble. It has been 
found in the spring and fall in Lake Cochituate and Basins 

and 3, but during the summer months it is practically 
absent. In Basin 4 it is seldom found. In February, 1891, 
it was quite abundant in Farm pond, and in Whitehall pond 
it has several times attained a considerable growth. Dzno- 
bryon does not go to pieces as rapidly as many infusoria, 
and consequently it is found in the Chestnut-Hill Reservoir, 
and occasionally in the service-pipes. 

An examination of the microscopical analyses of the vari- 
ous water-supplies of Massachusetts shows that Dinobryon is 
found most often in the spring months, but that there is, 
also, a considerable fall growth. During the past few years 


W ATER-—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. rial 


there have been several cases where Dinobryon has caused 
trouble by its great development. These occurrences were 
seasonally distributed as follows :

It is somewhat contrary to our experience in Boston to 
find Dinobryon growing vigorously during the hot weather ; 
but some supplies have. vigorous orowths i in July. This in- 
dicates that temperature is not the main cause influencing its 
seasonal distribution. 

Dinobryon sometimes appears and disappears with great 
rapidity. In Breed’s pond, Lynn, there were 1.410 per c.c. 
on May 25, 1893; and in less than a week, during which 
the weather was excessively hot, they disappeared com- 
pletely. 

Dinobryon, when present in large numbers, gives to the 

water a very disagreeable taste. “It is, in some respects, 
similar to that caused by Synura; but it is not as strong 
nor as oily, although it is doubtless caused by oil elobules, 
which are often observed. The taste is a persistent bitter 
one, producing a stinging sensation at the back part of the 
tongue. 

Synura has several times been quite abundant in the res- 
ervoirs of the Boston supply. These growths are described 
in the Annual Report of the Boston Water Board for 1893. 
page 75: “The most extensive growth of Synura_ which has 
been found in Boston water occurred in the ponds on Stony 
brook, just above Basin 8, in November and December, 
1893. Both in Rice’s and in Nichols’ mill-ponds the number 
of colonies frequently reached 200 per c.c. (equal to about 
1,000 standard units). These were gradually washed down 
into Basin 38. At one time 2,000 standard units were found 
in the influent stream. They soon became numerous in Ba- 
sin 3 and Basin 1. They were present in the Sudbury gate- 
house, at the Chestnut-Hill Reservoir, in almost every sample, 
during November and December. A few were seen in the 
mine gate-house and even in the service-taps, but not 
in numbers sufficient to impart much of a taste to the water.’ 

As a rule, Synura growths have occurred in the Boston 
supply in the spring and fall. This is quite generally true 
for other supplies, although Synura occasionally develops 
in the summer. 


Synura is one of the most disagreeable of the infusoria. 


72 Ciry Document No. 39. 


It has a strong, stinging, bitter taste, sometimes being dis- 
tinctly oily, and oces asionally resembling the taste of a cu- 
cumber. A compzaratively small number is sufficient to 
cause a noticeable taste. 

Uroglena is a very offensive infusorian when present in 
large numbers. It causes a very intense, oily smell. It is 
occasionally found in the Sudbury water, but always in small 
numbers. It usually appears in the winter. 

The only large growth that has been noticed in the Boston 
water occurred in Whitehall pond, in June, 1891. An ac- 
count of this may be found in the Report of the Boston 
Water Board for that year. The U/roglena appeared very 
suddenly. On June 11 there were 150 colonies per c.c. at 
the lower end of the pond, where they were most abundant. 
The water had a reddish-brown color. This color soon 
changed to a light-brown; and in a few days the water 
cleared. The odor caused by the Uroglena was intensely 
oily. It was carried by the wind to a considerable distance 
from the pond. 

Several water-supplies, both in Massachusetts and Con- 
necticut, have been afflicted with Uroglena. 

Mallomonas is an infusorian which seldom causes trouble, 
because it is not found in large numbers. As many as 200 
were once found in a cubic centimeter of water, and at that 
time the water had a slight sweetish, aromatic taste, similar 
to that caused by Cr yptomonas and Chloromonas, which the 
Maltlomonas resembles, in having a bright-green color. 

Mallomonas is found in Basin 3 in the fall, and in Lake 
Cochituate in both spring and fall. 

Cryptomonas is not often found in the Sudbury and Co- 
chituate supplies; but in the ponds just above Mystic lake 
it is often abundant. Horn pond, in particular, has tre- 
mendous growths of Cryptomonas, usually in the winter. 
Glen Lewis and Walden ponds, Lynn, are likewise famous 
localities for Cryplomonas, as well as Chloromonas. 

Cryptomonas causes a very strong taste, which resembles 
that of a violet. It is sweet and aromatic, and not alto- 
gether unpleasant. 

Lvrachelomonas is found in Lake Cochituate at all times of 
the year, but is most common in the fall. It is found in 
greatest numbers at the bottom, where the water is stagnant, 
without oxygen, and heavily charged with partially decom- 
posed organic matter. 

In Basin 3 it is found only during the latter part of the 
summer. There, also, it seems to “he associated with the 
stagnant water, being found most commonly at the bottom 
until the time of the turning over of the water, after which 


W ATER-—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 13 


it is more evenly distributed. It is not found to any extent 
in Basins 2 and 4. 

Trachelomonas seems to be associated with decomposing 
organic matter. It belongs to the same family with the Hu- 
glena, which isa notable filth infusorian. The facts that it 
has a rich brown color, and that it is found at the bottom of 
our ponds, where the stagnant water is rich in iron com- 
pounds, seem to indicate that iron may be the cause of its 
brown color, and perhaps may be necessary to its existence. 

Trachelomonas is not a common organism in water-sup- 
plies, though it has been found as high as 500 per c.c. The 
water containing it had a very strong, earthy taste, but 
that was doubtless caused by the amorphous matter, which 
was exceedingly abundant, and not by the Z’rachelomonas. 

Peridinium and Glenodinium are very much alike, and 
are often mistaken for each other. They are not abundant 
in the Sudbury and Cochituate water, although there is an 
occasional spring growth in the lake, and in Basin 3 they 
are sometimes fund during the summer. In Mystic lake, 
however, Peridintum grows vigorously every summer. At 
times the number has been as high as 3,500 standard units 
per c.c. They are in great measure the cause of the offen- 
sive odor which is noticed every summer in the Mystic water. 
They usually appear in June or July and last until October. 

Peridinium has been found at all seasons of the year, and 
extensive growths have occurred in January, March, June, 
and October. Usually, however, its maximum growth is 
attained in the summer. 

Codonella, according to the reports of the State Board of 
Health, is seldom found in the water- supplies of Massachu- 
setts, but in Lake Cochituate and in Basins 2 and 3 ap- 
pears quite regularly in the spring and fall. Their number 
is generally small, but the organisms are of large size. 
They have never appeared in numbers sufficient for us to 
determine their effect on the water. The Codonella animal- 
cule is usually enclosed in a lorica. Occasionally it leaves 
this, and is found moving briskly about in the water by 
means of its rapidly moving cilia. 

Tintinnidium, or Tintinnus, as it would more properly be 
called, is akin to Codonella. It is not common in water- 
supplies generally, but in Lake Cochituate it is usually 
present in the spring months. 

The species ordinarily found corresponds to Kent’s 77n- 
tinnidium semiciliatum. In Whitehall pond we have ob- 
served a species somewhat different from the semdceliatum. 
It differs chiefly in having its lorica transversely wrinkled or 
folded, instead of being perfectly cylindrical. As it is free- 


74 City DocumEntT No. 39. 


swimming, it is more properly classed as a Tintinnus, and 
we have designated it as Tintinnus corrugatus. 

Vorticella is occasionally found during the summer. It 
is more common in Basin 3 than in other portions of the 
Boston supply. It is naturally a sedentary form, and one 
reason why we find it in our samples from the middle of the 
reservoir is because it attaches itself to floating alge. It is 
often found on bunches of Anabena and Oylindrosper mum. 
As far as we have observed the Vorticella does not feed’ on 
these alge, but uses them as a means of being carried 
through the water. 

EHpistylis is similar in many respects to Vorticella. It 
generally appears in clusters. It is not common in Lake 
Cochituate. In the basins it is occasionally found in the 
early summer and sometimes in the fall. 

Huglena is not found to any extent in the Boston supply. 
It has occasionally been seen in Stony brook above Basin 3, 
and in sPegan brook. It is also found in the Abajona 
river and at the head of Mystic lake. It is an important 
organism, because its presence is generally an indication of 
pollution. In waters which are badly polluted it often 
grows vigorously. Near the laboratory there is a brook 
ech receives the drainage of several houses. Huglena is 
sometimes so abundant in this brook that every stick, stone, 
and plant is covered witha bright green layer, and the water 
itself is green with them. 

Paramecium is another infusorian usually found in pol- 
luted water. It is not found in the Boston supply, except 
occasionally in Pegan brook. 

Besides those already mentioned, Monas, Cercomonas, 
Pleuronema, Bursaria, Phacus, Acineta, Uvella, Nassula, 
Coleps, Placus, Zoothamnium have occasionally been ob- 
served.

FILTRaTION EXPERIMENTS. 


These experiments, already described in previous reports, 
were continued through the greater part of the year, but 
were finally concluded, and the apparatus thrown out of use, 
the data accumulated having proved sufficient for the purposes 
for which the investigations were begun. 

The six large tanks, having an area of one one-thousandth 
of an acre, were used for experiments on continuous filtra- 
tion through sand at a rate of 1,500,000 gallons per acre per 
day. Experiments with bone, charcoal, “and dried alumina 
have been continued with tanks having an area of one forty- 
thousandth of an acre. Experiments on the purification of 
water by precipitation with ferric chloride, followed by rapid 
filtration through sand, were begun October 16. 

Chemical and biological analyses of the applied water and 
effluents were made weekly until October 16. The results 
of these analyses have been plotted, giving continuous pro- 
files which show graphically the purifications produced by 
each tank. 

The work has been under the immediate charge of Mr. W. 
EK. Foss, C.E., who has prepared the following description 
of some of the experiments made under my direction, to 
determine the effects of sunlight on the decolorization of 
water. These observations were made in connection with 
our filtration experiments. 

The first experiment was begun November 26, 1890. 
Three one-gallon bottles were’‘filled with water from the tap. 


> 
Sample No. 1 was analyzed at once, sample No. 2 was put 
in a dark closet, and No. 3 was exposed to sunlight in a 
window. June 28, 1891, samples Nos. 2 and 3 were 


analyzed, sample No. 3 having been exposed to bright sun- 


W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 79 


light for 800 hours. The results of the analyses are given 
in Table I. They show that the color of the water was only 
slightly reduced in the sample kept in the dark, while it was 
entirely removed from the sample exposed to sunlight. Ob- 
servations of the color were not made during the interval, and 
it is not known how many hours exposure to sunlight were 
necessary to reduce the color completely. The nitrogen as 
albuminoid and free ammonia was reduced and the nitrogen 
as nitrites and nitrates increased in the dark, while in the 
sample exposed to sunlight the nitrogen as albuminoid and 
free ammonia and nitrites increased, while the nitrogen as 
nitrates was reduced. 

Samples Nos. 4 to 10 inclusive were collected from the 
tap for the purpose of following the changes which might 
take place under the action of sunlight from month to 
month. No. 4 was analyzed at once, and Nos. 5, 7, and 
Y were put in a dark closet, while Nos. 6, 8, and 10 were 
exposed to sunlight on a bench out of doors. A sample 
from the dark and one from the sunlight was analyzed each 
month. The results of the analyses are given in Table I. 
It will be seen that an exposure to sunlight for 238 hours 
was not quite sufficient to remove the color completely. In 
almost every case nitrogen as albuminoid and free ammonia 
was higher, and the nitrogen as nitrates lower, in the sam- 
ple exposed to sunlight than in the one kept in the dark. 
In the samples Nos. “5 to 10 inclusive the clear supernatant 
portion only was analyzed, the sediment not being included. 
As the results seemed to show a loss of nitrogen, it was 
thought that it might be in the sediment, and analyses were 
therefore made of a mixture of the samples kept in the 
dark, and also of a mixture of the samples exposed to sun- 
light, the sediment being included. The results are shown 
by Nos. 11 and 12, and seem to show that there had not 
been a loss of nitrogen. 

Analyses Nos. 13 and 14 show the changes which took 
place in a very dark water from an exposure to sunlight for 
543 hours. The samples were collected October 24, 1891, 
from the bottom of Lake Cochituate, at a point 55 feet deep, 
where the water had been stagnant for some time. When 
collected the sample contained a large amount of ferrous 
iron, and dissolved oxygen was entirely absent. Soon after 
collection the ferrous iron became oxydized, increasing the 
color of the water to 4.50. 

Analyses Nos. 15 to 23 inclusive show the changes from 
exposure to sunlight in samples from the Cochituate and 
Sudbury sources and from the Bradlee Basin of the Chestnut- 
Hill Reservoir, which contains a mixture of the other two. 


80 City Document No. 39. 


An increase in the nitrogen as albuminoid and free ammonia 
and decrease in nitrogen as nitrates, oxygen consumed and 
color, in the samples exposed to sunlight, is noticed when 
they are compared with the samples kept i in the dark. 

August 1, 1892, an experiment was begun to determine the 
action of sunlight for each month in the year. Three sets 
of samples were used in this experiment to see if there was 
any difference in the action on waters having different in- 
tensity of color. One set was from Cochituate aqueduct, 
average color 0.23; one from Terminal chamber, average 
color 0.79; and one from Chestnut-Hill Reservoir, average 
color 0.53, being a mixture of the other two. The sam- 
ples were collected about the first of each month, and 
one of each set kept in the dark, while another was exposed 
to sunlight in a box, having three sides and the top of plate 
glass, which allowed exposure of the samples to sunlight 
under similar conditions throughout the year. The temper- 
atures and colors of the samples were taken weekly, but in 
the tables presented herewith only the means for each month 
are given. The weekly observations showed that the 
changes went on uniformly. Asa basis for comparison the 
reduction of color per 100 hours of sunlight has been calcu- 
lated for each month. The total reductions due to exposure 
to sunlight were obtained by subtracting from the reduction 
which took place in the sample exposed to sunlight any re- 
duction which took place in the companion sample kept in 
the dark. The results of the experiment are given in Table 
II. An examination of them shows that, while the total 
reduction in color was greatest during the summer months, 
the reduction per 100 hours of bright sunlight is practically 
constant for all seasons of the year. It is also seen that the 
reduction in color varies almost directly with the amount of 
color present, being in each case ahout 20 per cent. of the 
original color. 

An experiment was also arranged to see if the sunlight 
affected the water applied to the filters and the various eftlu- 
ents alike. The results are given in Table III. The only 
differences noticed are slight, and appear to be due to differ- 
ences in the original colors. 

The following experiments were made to determine, if 
possible, in what manner the reduction in color by Sx )i085 
ure to sunlight was brought about. | 

As the exposure of a sample of water to sunlight was 
accompanied by an increase in temperature of the water, an 
experiment was arranged in which the temperature of the 
water was maintained at a high point without exposure to 
sunlight. Two samples of a very highly colored water 


W ATER-—SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 81 


from the bottom of Lake Cochituate were kept on the radi- 
ator in the office, one covered with a black cloth bag and 
the other exposed to the light. They were kept in this man- 
ner from October 27, 1891, to December 8, 1892; the 
average temperature during the interval was 93° Fahr. 
The sample kept in the black bag was reduced in color from 
4.50 to 4.00, or 0.50; the one exposed to the light was re- 
duced in dolor from 4.50 tOVo. 0 OReL 20: 

The results show that heat alone was not the cause of the 
reduction in color. 

Experiments to see if sedimentation would hasten the re- 
duction of color were arranged. Samples of water were 
exposed in glass jars having disks of glass arranged in a 
series of horizontal layers about one-half inch apart, being 
separated by small pieces of glass. Samples were also ex- 
posed in glass tubes four feet long. Observations on the 
reduction in color of the water near the top and at the bot- 
tom of the tubes were made. No increased reduction of 
color was noticed in either case due to sedimentation. 

From an examination of the results of all of the exper- 
iments that had been made, it did not appear that the sed- 
iment in the samples exposed to sunlight was any greater 
than in the samples kept in the dark. 

It was thought that the reduction’ of color in the samples 
exposed to sunlight might be due to a chemical change going 
on, caused either by the action of bacteria or by “the ac- 
tinic rays of the sun’s light. 

That the reduction was due to the action of bacteria did 
not seem probable, for in several cases examinations were 
made, and the results always showed that the organisms and 
bacteria died out in the samples exposed to sunlight and in 
the samples kept in the dark. 

An experiment made to see if the reduction in color was 
due to chemical action, due to the actinic rays of the sun’s 
light, was arranged as follows: 

Samples of water from the same source were exposed to 
sunlight in bottles of different colored glass, companion 
samples being kept in the dark. 

The colors of the bottles used were white, blue, yellow, 
and red. The experimentS were continued for two months. 
From the means of these given in Table IV. it appears that 
the color of the water was reduced the most in the white 
and blue bottles, being about the same in both cases. The 
reduction of color of the water in the yellow and red bot- 
tles was only about one-half as much, showing that the blue 
or actinic rays were the most effective in reducing the color. 

In what way the sun’s rays produce the reduction in the 


$2 Crry Document No. 39. 


color of a water is unknown. Downes and Blunt! found that 
the action of sunlight entirely prevented the development of 
bacteria under favorable conditions, and that the red and 
orange-red rays delayed their development, while the blue 
' and violet rays entirely prevented their growth. They ex- 
plain this action of light as due to the gradual process of 
oxidation, which is induced by the sun’s rays in the 
presence of oxygen. It is possible some similar action 
takes place in the reduction of color by the sun’s rays. 

The depth below the surface of a pond at which the sun’s 
action would be effective in reducing the color of the water 
has not been investigated, but it would undoubtedly vary 
with the character of the water. 


CONCLUSION. 


From the foregoing experiments the following conclusions 
have been drawn: 

The color of waters such as we have been considering can 
be entirely removed by sufficient exposure to sunlight. 

The action is influenced but slightly, if at all, by increase 
in temperature. 

Sedimentation does not increase the action to any appre- 
ciable extent. 

The amount of reduction in the color of a given water is 
the same per 100 hours of sunlight at all seasons of the 
year. 

The amount of the reduction varies almost directly with 
the amount of color present in the water.

QUALITY OF THE WATER. 


The water in Boston has been excellent in quality 
throughout the year. In December the tap water had a 
somewhat disagreeable, oily taste, due to Synura, Asterio- 
nella, and Anabena (sterile form), which all came from 
Lake Cochituate, but on the average the number of organ- 
isms found in the water has been unusually low. 

The following tables give, first, the average condition of 
the water as delivered to the consumer, and then means of 
monthly analyses of different parts of the sources of supply. 
They afford a ready means of comparison with the condition 
of the water as given in the last annual report. 

The other tables contain the results of examinations made 
at the biological laboratory, a table for changing colors from

APPENDIX B. 


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
EASTERN DIVISION. " 


WaTER-SuPPLY DEPARTMENT, EASTERN DIVISION. 
Boston, Mass., February 1, 1895. 
Cou. THomas F. Donerty, 
Chairman Boston Water Board: 


Dear Sir: I herewith respectfully submit the annual 
report of the Eastern Division for the year ending January 
rip raya Rohe ie 

EXTENSION OF Mains. 


During the year there have been laid 17.9 miles of pipe 
mains, and 27,111 feet of pipe have been abandoned, mak- 
ing a total of 572.8 miles now connected with the system. 

A 36-inch force main was laid from the High Service 
Pumping Station at Chestnut Hill to Fisher Hill Reservoir, 
and there was also a 20-inch main laid in Brookline through 
~ Centre, Harvard, and Fuller streets. This pipe was laid by 
the town of Brookline, we furnishing the pipe and paying 
them for the labor. : 

The work of relaying a 20-inch and a 12-inch pipe across 
Dover-street bridge is almost complete, there being only a 
small piece on the South Boston side to take up, and this 
we expect to do as soon as the weather permits. 

There were laid for the Park Department system 1,505 
feet of 8-inch pipe through Jamaicaway between Perkins 
and Pond and Pond and Prince streets. This. pipe is not 
included in the total number of miles laid in our system. 


STOP—COCKS. 


The number of stop-cocks established during the year was 
241. Of this number there were two 36-inch connected 
with the 36-inch force main, and in addition to these there 
was a.36-inch check-valve put on. Forty-eight stop-cocks 
were abandoned, making the total number now in service 
6,359, all of which have received the usual attention in mat- 
ters of oiling, testing, ete. 


WaATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 109 


HYDRANTS. 


Two hundred and forty-nine hydrants were established 
and 74 abandoned, making a net increase for the year of 
175, and there are now 6,217 in service connected with the 
system. 

Sixteen of the new-pattern post hydrants with indepen- 
dent shut-off were put in during the year, There are still 
1,125 Boston hydrants, old pattern, in service, and I recom- 
mend that during this coming season 100 of them be re- 
placed by hydrants of the Lowry or Post pattern. 

‘Special attention has been paid to all complaints made by 
the Fire Department, such as raising vor lowering hydrant 
barrels or boxes. All hydrants have been examined and 
oiled frequently during the summer, and have also had their 
usual care during the cold weather. The Fire Department is 
furnished by this department with the salt used on hy- 
drants, and we have delivered of this to the various houses 
of the department during the year 4,734 sacks. 


SERVICE—PIPES. 


Most of the pipes that were connected with the Jamaica 
Pond system have been relaid and connected to our pipes 
during the year. They were in most cases $-inch pipes 
which did not give a sufficient supply, and were replaced by 
8-inch. 

Under the present law ut laying out new streets we were 
obliged to lay 103 pipes in Newbury street, 55 in Ivy street, 
74 in Mountfort street, 128 in Parker street, and 32 in St. 
Germain street, making a total of 392 pipes from which no 
revenue is derived at present. 

During the year 2,451 service-pipes have been laid, with 
an aggregate length of 59,781 feet, and 481 have been aban- 
doned, making a net increase of 1,970 pipes during the 
year. 


W AaTER—Posts. 


Twenty-nine water-posts were erected, and 4 abandoned, 
making the number now in use 366. These are erected at 
the request of the Superintendent of Streets or his agent. 
All repairs on them are made by us, and charged to the 
Street Department. 


FOUNTAINS. 


Fountains have had their usual care during the year. 
Two for the use of man have been erected: one-on Dale 


110 Orry. DOocuMENT No. 39. 


street opposite Washington park, and the other on Dudley 
street, at Guild row. That at Union Depot was changed 
from a single to a double fountain. In East Boston the 
fountain for the use of animals, situated on Bennington 
street, corner of Chelsea street, was replaced by a new 
one. 

From a humane consideration and a love for dumb ani- 
mals, I would suggest that too many of these fountains can- 
not be established. 


RESERVOIRS. 


East Boston. — The bank on the north of the reservoir 
yas sowed with grass-seed in the spring, and rammed. The 

fence around the grounds was painted, together with the 
house that is used as the headquarters for the men of the 
district. All the grounds have been paid their usual atten- 
tion. 

Parker Hill. — During the summer special attention was 
paid to the care of the grounds; the keeper’s house was 
painted, as was the gate-house, steps, and the fence around 
the grounds. 

South Boston. — Owing to the care they have received, 
the grounds are in exceptionally good condition. A sad 
accident occurred December 25. One Alexander Wilkin- 
son, an eight-year old boy, while skating, broke through the 
ice and was drowned. His body was recovered. ‘To avoid 
further accidents of like nature, the ice has since been 
broken up. 


HicH—-SErRVICE TANKS. 


The tanks at Mt. Bellevue and Breed’s island are in good 
condition. During the coming year it will be necessary to 
paint both of them. The surrounding grounds are in good 
condition. 


METERS. 


Cochituate Division. —Four hundred and twenty-four 
meters have been set, 131 have been discontinued, and 6 
have been lost in service, making a net gain of 287, and the 
total number now in use, 4, 333. 

Mystic Division. — Fifty-five have heen set, and 22 dis- 
continued, making a net increase of 33, and the total now 
in shrvite: 494,

In connection with the Deacon meter system, out of 2,504 
night examinations by means of tbe sidewalk stop-cocks, 
there were found 765 defective fixtures, and 41 wilful waste. 
There were also 100 hand-hose reported for non-payment. 


Dracon METER SYSTEM. 


Work was commenced April 1, and ended for the season 
December 1. During this period all sections on the Cochit- 
uate system were tested once, and most of them twice. On 
the Mystic system there were no tests made, partly on ac- 
count of the main being laid through Chelsea street, and 
later on account of the dry summer and consequent fall of 
Mystic lake. 

There are now connected with the system 83 meters; 76 
on the Cochituate and 7 on the Mystic. 

The following table shows a summary of the results 
attained :

H1IGH-SERVICE STATIONS. 


Chestnut Hill.— No. 1 pump has been overhauled, and 
such parts as were found to be badly worn were taken out 
and their dimensions taken for new pieces, with which they 
will be replaced as soon as possible. 

The same may be said of No. 2 pump. The boilers have 
been carefully examined and such repairs and additions as 
were necessary have been made. The dynamo engines have 
been overhauled and the armature taken out and repaired. 

The new Engine No. 3 was started for the first time on 
December 2, and has received several trials to date. 

Hast Boston and West Roxbury Stations. — There is 
little to say regarding these stations. They have been well 
cared for and are in good condition. 


MAINTENANCE. 


Owing to the large amount of other work on hand during 
the past season, we have been unable to reach that of relay- 
ing a number of streets in the city proper, for which we 
have the permission of your Board. I hope to complete 
this work during the coming season, as a longer delay would 
be dangerous. 

Of repairs on pipes of all sizes we have made 1,703 
during the year. Of those on main pipes (349) we have 
found the most numerous causes to be defective joints (126), 
defective packing (101), and defective stop-cocks (25). 
The causes of leaks and stoppages on service-pipes, which 
number 1,354, are many, but chief among them are: Rust, 
901; fish, 50; struck by pick, 153; settling of earth, 222. 
It will be seen that these are causes which cannot well be 
guarded against. On the whole, considering the amount of 
excavation performed by other departments, as well as by 
outside corporations, and the severity of the winter so far, 
I feel that we have heen very fortunate. The following 
tables show in detail the work performed by this depart- 
ment:

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
MYSTIC DIVISION. 


OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT, 
CorNnER MEpDFORD AND TUFTS STREETS, 
Boston, February 1, 1895. 


Cou. Tuomas F. Donerty, 
Chairman, Boston Water Board: 
Sir: The report of the Mystic Division of the Boston 
Water-Works from January 31, 1894, to February 1, 1895, 
is herewith submitted. 


Mystic LAKR. 


Water was wasted over the dam until June 8, when the 
highest point was recorded, 6.89 above tide- marsh level. 
‘After this date the surface gradually lowered, and in August 
preparations were made for pumping into the conduit. The 
pumping machinery, consisting of two Hoadley engines and 
boilers and two centrifugal pumps, was repaired and placed 
in position. The cast-iron gratings at the inlets of the 
gate-chamber were replaced with new ones, and the gates 
repaired and refitted with new stems. 

On August 31, with the surface of the lake at 8.42 below 
high water and only 2.75 above the conduit invert, the 
pumping into the conduit began. The surface of the lake 
continued to fall, and reached a lower pvint than ever before 
making it necessary to lengthen the suction-pipes. As the 
pumping machinery which had been in use for years was of 
insufficient capacity two new 60-horse power engines and 
boilers and one new pump, having a capacity of 18,000,000 
gallons per day, were purchased. As the service of either 
pump could not be dispensed with, and as the engine-room 
was already inadequate, a new engine-house was constructed. 
The engine-house is a wooden frame building, 65 ft. x 194 ft., 
supported by a pile foundation. To make an approach’ to 
the new building some filling was required, so the riprap 
was removed and utilized again on the extended water front. 

On October 10 the surface of the water reached its lowest 
point, 0.91 below the conduit invert, but after this date it 


140 Ciry Document No. 39. 


v] 


began to rise. The old engine in Engine-house No. 2 was 
disconnected and removed, but further work of setting up 
the second new engine and peu. was suspended. On 
November 15 the lake had risen to 2.72 above the conduit 
invert. Pumping was stopped, and aie water again flowed 
by gravity to the Pumping-station. 

The sources of supply have been carefully looked after 
throughout the year. The Metropolitan Sewerage Commis- 
sion built a siphon under the Abajona river, near the rail- 
road, and have riprapped the banks adjoining the abutments, 
making an improvement at that point. Bacon’s bridge has 
been rebuilt with a much stronger structure than the former 
one. A new fence was built on the west side of Mystic 
street opposite the ledge, also one near the dam, on the 
division line of the Brooks’ property. The gate-tender’s 
house has also been repaired. A force of men were engaged 
throughout the summer months in removing the vegetable 
erowth from the shallow portions of the river and ‘ponds. 
There was a large decrease in this growth during the past 


year. The filtration experiments, which have been carried - 


on for upwards of two years, have been discontinued, it 
having been demonstrated that the entire Mystic supply 
could be filtered so as to ee water of a satisfactory 
quality. 

The rainfall on the Mectien water-shed for the past twelve 
months was as follows:

Total ; ; : : : : 38.85 


RESERVOIR. 


Two 30-inch stop-gates in the gate-chamber were repaired, 
new valve-rods were substituted, and the gearing was rear- 
ranged, the old 10 to 1 gears were replaced with gears 4 to 
1, thus greatly facilitating the operation of the cates. The 
walks and grounds about ‘the reservoir received the usual at- 
tention. About seventy-five loads of stone were carted from 
the ledge, and will be properly distributed at a favorable op- 
portunity. 

The city of Medford was supplied with Mystic water one 
day in July and one day in January. On September 12 the 
Cochituate water was turned on to the Charlestown District. 


W ATER—SuUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 141 


CONDUIT. 


The conduit was cleaned and inspected twice during the 
year, and, at the last inspection, a large crack was discovered 
about eight feet from the gate-chamber. It extended around 
the conduit, leaving intact only about three feet at the 
bottom, and was immediately repaired by being grouted. 
The force-mains are in good condition. The necessary 
changes and repairs at the pipe-chamber which have been 
recommended in previous reports will be made in the spring. 


PuMPING—STATION. 


The work on the extension of the engine-house was begun 
November 1. The pump-well and the foundations will be 
completed in about three weeks and the walls and roof about 
April 1. 

The extension of the building necessitated a rearrangement 
of the drains, and a 12-inch cast-iron pipe was substituted 
for the tile drain that took the discharge from Engine No. 3. 
Outside of the building wall this was enlarged to a 16-inch 
iron pipe, which was run to the manhole of the main drain 
on the south-west side of the engine-house. A 6.inch iron 
pipe was run from the well-pump to the manhole on the 
_ west side, and connection was made with the conductors of 

the building. 

The engines and boilers received some slight repairs 
during the year, and the independent air-pump was over- 
hauled; two new composition plungers, two new bronze . 
metal piston-rods, and a new set of valves and covers were 
substituted for the old ones. 

The old well-pump of 1,000,000 gallons’ capacity, which 
has been in use for over twenty years, is now undergoing re- 
pairs. In the pump-well of Engine No. 3, the south-west 
wall was strengthened by the addition of sixteen inches of 
brickwork. A course of brick was laid in the bottom, and 
the entire surface of the well was plastered with Portland 
cement. . 

The bridge opposite the engine-house was strengthened 
and repaired; the engineers’ residences were repaired and 
supplied with steam-pipes and radiators connected with the 
boilers of the engine-house. 

The stable and the wagon-house were also repaired, and 
about two acres of the adjacent grounds were ploughed and 
manured.

MystTic—-V ALLEY SEWER. 


The quantity of sewage pumped from January 31, 1894, 
to February 1, 1895, was 120,188,032 gallons to which was 
applied as a precipitant 281,535 Ibs. of crude sulphate of 
alumina. 

The quantity of sludge thrown down by the alumina sul- 
phate was 3,302,678 gallons, which was pumped into the set- 
tling-basins for subsequent removal. The amount of coal 
used was 393,472 lbs. The average quantity of sewage 
pumped per day was 337,606 gallons, and the average quan- 
tity of sludge pumped per day was 9,277 gallons, which is 
2% per cent. of the sewage. 

The alumina sulphate was applied at the rate of 2,342 Ibs. 
per million gallons of sewage, or one part of alumina ‘sulphate 
to 3,557 parts of sewage. The removal of sludge from the 
settling-basins during ‘the past year was done largely by a 
neighboring farmer who values it highly for grass land. 

In May ‘the engine was dismantled four days for repairs, 
consisting of realignment, resetting of valves, and rebabbit- 
ing of boxes on main shaft. 

It is expected that the sewage now treated at this station 
will be discharged into the Metropolitan sewerage system on 
and atter July 1, 1895, and this plant will then be discon- 
tinued. 

Chemical precipitation of the sewage from Tidd’s tannery, 
in Stoneham, was continued the past year. The total 
quantity of sewage pumped by the proprietors was 5,244,545 
gallons, and the total quantity of sludge pumped was 680,000 
gallons. 

The amount of alumina sulphate used was 51,571 pounds, 
making the rate of application of the precipitant 1 to 847. 
The percentage of sludge pumped to sewage pumped was 13. 

During the time that experiments in chemical tanning 
were being made at this tannery the sewage was so offensive 
that some treatment became necessary. 

At Fitzgerald’s tannery, in Stoneham, a series of tanks 
were built at the owner’s expense. They were arranged in 
such a manner that the heavy particles of sewage would 
scttle in flowing from one tank to another over separating 
partitions. No chemicals were used, but the sewage from 
the beam-house contained more or less lime which acted as 
a precipitant. This method was continued for four or five 
months until the experiments were finished. 

The effluent discharged from the precipitation tanks at the 
Mystic station has always been somewhat colored, but as 
the addition of a sufficient quantity of lime or alumina to 


W ATER-StuppLy DEPARTMENT. 143 


render the effluent colorless would greatly increase the cost, 
it has been thought to be better economy to use a sufficient 
quantity of precipitant to remove the solid matter, and a fair 
percentage of the matter in solution, and obtain a reasonably 
clear effluent. 

At Tidd’s tannery the sewage was different in character 
than at Mystic station and less colored, yet it required more 
precipitant pro rata to throw down the solid matter. The 
effluent, however, was always clear and colorless, or near- 
ly so. 


SOURCES OF SUPPLY. 


The Metropolitan sewer is expected to be in operation in 
six or eight months, and the city of Woburn and the towns 
of Winchester and Stoneham are constructing or arranging 
to construct, their respective sewerage systems, so that in a 
short time the Mystic water will be greatly benefited. 

A summary of the inspection work for the past year, as 
reported by Mr. John S. Concannon, Chief Inspector, is as 
follows: Total number of cases inspected, 694. Of these 
ure, “old cases,” 682; “new cases,” 12. The present 
condition of all inspected cases is, at “present safe,” 463 ; 
“apparently safe,” 68; “suspected,” 44; “unsatisfactory,” 
46; “remedied,” 73; legal notices served, 43. 

In all cases where legal notices were served the cases 
were attended to and the pollution prevented. 


DISTRIBUTION- PIPES. 


The distribution-pipes in Charlestown were extended by 
the addition of 2,612 feet of four-inch pipe, 24,941 feet of 
six-inch pipe, 5,519 feet of eight-inch pipe, 2,446 feet of 
ten-inch pipe, and 878 feet of twelve-inch pipe. 54,543 
feet of pipe were relaid. 

There now remains in Charlestown 6,139 feet of cement- 
lined pipe, varying in size from 2 to 20 inches.

which was authorized by the Legislature, and is now being 
done by the Boston & Maine R.R. Co., necessitated an entire 
change in the arrangement of the main pipes supplying 
Chelsea and East Boston. In place of the old 16, 20, and 
24 inch pipes there were lnid a 24-inch and a 30-inch pipe, 
the smaller pipe being for the supply of Chelsea and the 
larger for East Boston. Permission was obtained of the 
railroad corporation to lay these pipes on their property, 
and 1,128 feet of each size were permanently laid. In 
addition, 384 feet each of 16-inch and 30-inch pipe were laid 


144 | City Document No. 39. 


along the side of the temporary street adjoining an unfinished 
portion of the main thoroughtare, and in the coming sum- 
mer, when this portion of the road is ready, the 24-inch 
and the 30-inch pipes will be continued and the temporary 
pipes removed. 


HYDRANTS AND GATES. 


One hundred and forty-eight new hydrants, 5 street 
Lowry hydrants, and 143 Post hydrants, were established 
in addition to 5 Lowry and 23 Post hydrants set in place of 
28 Post hydrants abandoned. Two hundred and thirty-eight 
gates were established — one 24-inch, three 16-inch, thirteen 
12- inch, twenty-two 10-inch, thirty -eight 8-inch, one hun- 
dred and thirty 6-inch, and twenty-seven 4-inch. There 
were forty-four 4-inch, thirty-one 6-inch, six 8-inch and 
one 12-inch abandoned. Thirteen gate boxes and eleven 
hydrant boxes were replaced by new ones. 


FOUNTAINS AND STAND-PIPEs. 


Four new drinking-fountains were. established, and twelve 
new stand-pipes were erected for street-watering purposes.

tributed as follows: Charlestown, 61; Chelsea, 122; Ever- 
ett, 315; Somerville, 361; for which 18,436 feet of pipe

City Hatu, January 31, 1895. 


Tuomas F. Douerty, Esq., 
Chairman Boston Water Board: 
Sir: I hereby submit the following report of the work 
done and records kept during the past year: 


SOURCES OF SUPPLY. 

The rainfall during the year 1894 was much below the 
average, and in consequence the supply of water in the dif- 
ferent storage reservoirs was reduced to a very small amount. 

The rainfall and quantities collected on the several water- 
sheds were as follows: 


Sudbury. Cochituate. Mystic. 

Rainfall in inches. 39.74 39.08 39.24 
“6 collected in 

inches. 16.182 12.99 14.40

Area, Water Surface, 148 acres ; Greatest Depth, 14 ft.; Contents below 161. 00, 
376,900,000; Below 159.29, 288,400,000 gals. 

The surface of this reservoir was about 2 feet below the 
crest of the dam on January 1, 1894, and no water was 
wasted until February 23. With the exception of four days 
in April, water was wasted over the dam from February 23 
until May 7, when the flash-boards were placed upon the 
dum. On May 26 the reservoir was full and waste began 
over the flash-boards, continuing until June 13. 

The flash-boards were removed on November 8, and waste 
occurred from November 8 to December 3, from December 
16 to 22, and on December 27 and 28. 

This dam is in good condition.

568,300,000 ; Below 167.12, 629,860,000 gals. 

This reservoir was 7 feet below the level of the top of the 
flash-boards on January 1, 1894. On February 23 the water 
level reached the crest of the dam, and the reservoir remained 
full until the middle of June, when it was drawn upon for 
the supply of the city, and on July 17 it was 7 feet below the 
flash-boards. During August and September water was run 
into the reservoir from Reservoirs 4 and 6, raising the water 
surface about 2 feet, and in November and December it was 
gradually filled so that on January 1, 1895, the water sur- 
face was about 1 foot below high water. 

The dam is in good condition. 


Reservoir No. 83.

Area at 175.24, 248 acres ; Contents below 175.24, 1,081,500,000 gals. 
Greatest Depth, 21 ft. 

On February 1, 1894, this reservoir was 2.68 feet below 
high-water mark. On February 21 waste began over the 
dam, and continued during the greater portion of the time 
until June 6. On July 18 the surface had fallen to 168.42, 
or 6.82 feet below the crest of the dam. On November 8 
the reservoir was again full, and has continued at or near that 
point to the present time. 

The dam is in good condition.

Area, Water Surface, 167 acres ; Greatest Depth, 49 ft.; Contents below 215.21, 

1,416,400,000 gals. 

On February 1, 1894, this reservoir was 29.45 feet below 
high-water mark. It was gradually filling during March, 
April, and May, and reached high-water mark on June 6. 

On July 17 it was drawn upon for the supply of the city, 
and on September 11 the reservoir was practically empty, | 
and the outlet gate was closed. Since November 1 it has 
been gradually filling. 

The dam is in good condition. 


Reservoir No. 5. 


Work upon the construction of the dam was commenced 
on April 10 by the contractors, and has been prosecuted 
throughout the year. About two miles of new highway have 
been built to replace a road cut off by the dam. Surveys 


160 Crry Document No. 39. 


have been made and plans and specifications are now being 
prepared for removing the shallow flowage in the reservoir 
from the dam to Southboro’. It is proposed to leave the 
shallow flowage on the Marlboro’ branch of the reservoir, 
which is at a higher level, until next vear. 

The following report of Desmond FitzGerald, resident 
engineer, gives further information in regard to the work on 
this reservoir, as well as other matters connected with addi- 
tional supply : 


SoutH FramincHaMm, Mass., January 1, 1895. 
Witii1Am Jackson, Esq., Crty Engineer: 

Dear Sir: The following brief report of engineering work 
for the year 1894 on Additional Supply is submitted. 
Basin No. 6 was sufficiently completed’ on January 1 to be 
put into service, and furnished the city with water during the 
summer. It was filled in the spring, and as the water rose 
the riprap was added on the up-stream slope. Later in the 
season the walk on top of the dam was added, and the slope 
on the down-stream side sodded and seeded. The dam and 
basin may be said to be entirely completed, although the 
filter beds in connection with Gate-house No. 2 have only 
been fairly commenced. 

The branches and gates for the distribution of the water 
have, however, been placed in position. On the last day of 
April the taking plans were filled for Basin No. 5. 

They covered 228 separate parcels of land, and the descrip- 
tions required 151 sheets of legalcap. ‘The final locations of 
all the roads have been determined. ‘There are 1.66 miles of 
road to be raised, 5.8 miles to be rebuilt, and 8.43 miles to 
be discontinued. ‘The work of cross sectioning the entire 
basin is now under way. 

On April 10 Moulton & O’Mahoney began work on 
Basin No. 5, and have made excellent progress. The strip- 
ping under the dam has been completed, the trenches exca- 
vated, and the core-wall laid on its foundations for about half 
the length of the dam. In the centre of the valley the rock 
was found to be of very poor quality, as was expected, 
and the excavations were carried out deeper than the plans 

called for. The three 48-inch pipes in the Gate-house have 
been laid and covered with rubble masonry, and the founda- 
tions for the overflow carried across the bed of the stream 
and completed to grade 190. The following table shows the 
materials handled :

Early in the spring plans and specifications were prepared 
for building about two miles of new highway below the dam 
to replace a road cut off by the dam. Berry Bros. secured 
the contract on June 7, and work began on June 18, and was 
completed on November 16. The following is a table of 
quantities :

Reservoir No. 6. 


Grades, H. W., 295.00; Top of Flash-boards, 295.00; Crest of Dam, 294.00. 
Estimated Area, 185 acres; Estimated Contents, 1,580,300,000 gals. 


This reservoir was so nearly completed that it was used 
for the storage of water during the spring of 1894. 

There was not sufficient rainfall to completely fill the 
basin, but the surface rose to within 2.25 feet of the high- 
water mark. During September and October water was. 
taken from this reservoir for the supply of the city, and its 
surface was lowered about 18 feet. The outlet gate was 
closed on November 30, and on December 31 the water had. 
risen to 278.78. The riprap on the up-stream slope of the 
dam has been completed, the down-stream slope sodded and 
seeded, and a walk made on the top of the dam. 

In the fall it was found that a dam on a stream near the 


162 Crry Document No. 39. 


head of the reservoir had been rebuilt by the owners of the 
land, thus more a large swamp. The dam and about forty 
acres of land above have been taken for the purpose of re- 
moving the dam and deepening the brook. 

The dam is in good condition. 


Whitehall Pond. 


Elevation, H. W. 827.91; Bottom of Gates, 817.78. 
Area at 827.91, GO1 acres; Contents, between 327.91 and 317.78, 1,256,900,000 gals. 


On January 1 the surface of the pond was 2.97 feet below 
high water. During the spring it rose, and on June 4 was 
326.82 or 1.09 below high water. On September 19, it had 
fallen to 324.35, and on October 25 to 322.40. 

During October, November, and December it remained 
near this height, rising during the latter month to 323.23 on 
December 31. About 10,000,000 gallons per day were 
drawn from the pond from August 17 to 21, and from Sep- 
tember 13 to October 18. During the remainder of the year 
no water was drawn from the pond except to supply Wood 
Bros. shoe factory. Plans and specifications for a new dam 
at the outlet of the pond are now being made. 

Cedar Swamp. — Surveys have been made for the taking 
of land, and plans and specifications have been prepared for 
the draining of the swamp. 


Farm Pond. 


Grades, H.W. 149.25; Low Water, 146.00. 
Area at 149.25, 159 acres; Contents, between 149.25 and 146.00, 165,500,000 gals. 


No water was taken from this pond for the supply of the 
city. The surface of the pond was about .50 below high-

and it remained near high-water mark until the middle of 
June, after which its surface gradually fell until December 10, 
when it reached the lowest point during the year, 126.10 
above tide-marsh level, or 8.26 below high water. Since that 
date it has risen slightly, and is now, February 1, 7.46 below 
high-water mark. The beds for filtering the water of Pegan 
brook have been in use during the greater portion of the 
year, and 192,447,000 gallons of water have been pumped 
on to the beds. No difficulty has been experienced in the 
operation of the beds during the winter. 

Water has been drawn from the different reservoirs as

Engine No. 3 has been in process of erection during the 
year, and was started for the first time on December 3 

The work of lagging and painting the engine is now being 
done, and the work will soon be completed. This engine, 
shown on accompanying plates, possesses several novel 
features. 

It has been built by the Quintard Iron Works, of New 
York, from designs furnished by E. D. Leavitt, of Cam- 
bridge, Mass. 

It is a triple expansion, three-crank rocker engine, with 
pistons 13.7, 24.375, and 39 inches in diameter and 6-foot 
stroke. The cylinders are vertical and inverted, and are 
carried together, with valve gear, on an entablature sup- 
ported by six vertical and six diagonal columns. 

The steam and exhaust valves are gridiron slides, worked 
by cams on a horizontal shaft, which is driven by gearing 
from the crank shaft. The cut-off of the high-pressure 
cylinder is regulated by the governor through the agency of 
a hydraulic cylinder, which advances or retards the cut-off 
cam by means of a spiral sleeve; the cut-offs of the other 
engines are fixed. The steam passes into the high-pressure 
cylinder through a separator forming a part of the inlet side- 
pipe. After expanding in this cylinder it passes through a 
tubular reheater to the intermediate cylinder, and thence 
through another similar reheater to the low-pressure cylinder. 


166 | City DocumENT No. 39. 


The reheaters have steam of boiler pressure, or 185 pounds 
per square inch, on the inside of the tubes, and the working 
steam on the outside. 

All the cylinders are steam-jacketed on the heads and bar- 
rels, the low-pressure cylinder with steam at 100 pounds and 
the others at 185 pounds. ‘The jackets and reheaters using 
steam of boiler pressure are drained back to the boilers, 
while the low-pressure cylinder jacket and the working- 
steam side of the reheaters are drained by automatic traps 
discharging into the feed-water heater. 

The engine cross-heads work on guides cast in the vertical 
columns. The motion is transmitted from the cross-heads 
by links to beams or rockers carried in pedestals on the bed- 
plate of the engine. From these beams the connecting-rods 
work off in one direction and the pump links in the opposite 
direction, but inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees from 
the horizontal. The leverage “of the various pins in the 
beams is such that the stroke, which is six feet in the case of 
the steam pistons, is reduced to four feet for the pump plung- 
ers, which is also the amount of the double throw of the 
cranks. The crank-shaft has three cranks set at angles of 
120 degrees, the low-pressure crank leading, followed by the 
intermediate and high-pressure cranks. 

The shaft is carried in four adjustable four-box pedestals, 
with overhung end cranks. Between two of these pedestals 
is the fly-wheel, and between the other two the gear for 
driving the cam-shaft. There are three double- -acting in- 
clined pumps, having plungers 17.5 inches in diameter and 
of 4 feet stroke. The pumps are seated on foundations at a 
lower level than those for the engines, the pump chambers 
being tied to the engine bed plate by horizontal girders, as 
well as by the pump cross-head guides, which are inclined 
30 degrees from the horizontal. This peculiar arrangement 
of inclined pumps was found necessary to suit existing con- 
ditions of engine-house, pump-well, etc. 

The pump “pases, or suction chambers, six In number, one 
for each end of each pump, are connected together, and the 
bases of each pump are connected by a separate suction- 
pipe. 

The lower or working pump chambers are surrounded by 
annular spaces throughout their height, forming vacuum 
chambers. : 

The upper pump chambers contain the delivery nozzles, 
and above these are the air chambers, all six of the latter 
being connected by pipes. Each end of each pump has one 
suction and one delivery valve, consisting of a number of 
rigidly connected rings covering annular openings in the

ralve seats. The speed necessary for the required duty 
capacity of 20,000,000 gallons per 24 hours is 50 revolutions 
per minute, but the engine has been designed to run easily 
at 60 revolutions. The head pumped against is 128 feet, or 
about 55 pounds per square inch. 

Each pump contains one suction and one delivery vi alve, 
each about three feet in diameter. The use of these large 
ralves, together with the phenominally high speed, is made 

possible by the method of working the pump valves, which 
is the invention of Prof. Riedler, of the Royal Polytechnic 
School, of Berlin, Germany. This invention consists in clos- 
ing each valve positively at just the moment of reversal of 
stroke by means of the levers and rods shown in the cuts. 

After closing the valves the mechanism moves out of the 
way, leaving the valves free to open automatically. This is 
the first engine of the type built in this country, but they 
are no novelty abroad, being in use at many water-works, 
notably those of London, Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Buda- 
Pesth, Breslau, Rotterdam, Heilbron, Manheim, Mulhausen, 
GLO. at some of which places speeds of 75 revolutions per 
minute are attained. 

The condenser is of the surface type, having 1,410 square 
feet of tube surface, with water passing through the tubes. 

The condensing water is taken from one of the upper 
pump chambers, and after passing through the condenser is 
delivered into the force main. A butterfly valve in one or 
the pump discharge-pipes permits the quantity of condensing 
water to be easily, regulated. The air-pump is of the single 
acting bucket type, 24 inches diameter and 12-inch stroke, 
situated directly below the condenser, and worked by an 
arm on one of the pump valve gear rocker shafts. 

Steam for the engine is furnished by a Belpaire fire-box 
boiler having two separate furnaces and a common combus- 
tion chamber. The boiler is 34 feet 4 inches in length, 
with a least internal diameter of shell of 90 inches. ‘The 
tubes are 201 in number, 3 inches in diameter, 16 feet 
long. The feed water, before entering the boiler, passes 
through a Green Economizer, where it is heated by the 
escaping gases from the boiler. 

To accommodate the new boiler an addition has been made 
at the rear of the boiler-house at a cost of $3,597.25. 

At the West Roxbury pumping-station the daily average 
quantity pumped was 121,500 gallons, an increase of 25.4 
per cent. over the amout pumped in the previous year. 

At the East Boston station 385,000 gallons per day have 
been pumped for the supply of the high-service district, and 
30,800 gallons per day for the Breed’s Island high-service.

Mystic LAKE. 


Grades, H. W., 7.00;. Invert any aqueduct, —4.17; Contents between 7.00 and 1.50, 
42,000,000 gallons. 


On January 1, 1394, the lake surface was 3.15 feet below 
high water. On J anuary 19 it had risen to grade 5.70 above 
tide-marsh level, and the stop-planks were removed from the 
dam. Waste continued from January 19 to 22,\and from 
January 26 to May 3. 

Additional stop-planks were then placed on the dam, and 
during the month of May the lake remained near high-water 
mark. 

Waste occurred over the dam from May 21 to June 8, 
after which date no waste was permitted except at the con- 
duit wasteway and at the fishway, which was finally closed 
on June 20. During July the lake surface fell from 5.46 to 
2.35, and on August 31 the water was 8.42 feet below high- 
water and but 2.75 feet above the conduit invert. 

The temporary pumps used to raise the water into the 
conduit were then started, and the surface of the lake con- 
tinued to fall until, on October 10, it was 12.08 feet below 
high-water and 1.90 feet lower than any previous record. 

On November | the water surface had risen to grade —3.72, 
and on November 15 the use of the temporary pumps at 
the lake was discontinued. On December 1 the lake sur- 
face was at grade 0.67, and on January 1, 1895, at grade 
3.35. As the old engines and pumps which were in use at 
the lake were of insufficient capacity and badly worn, two 
new 60 H.P. engines and boilers and an 18-inch centrifugal 
pump have been purchased. A pile foundation and wooden 
frame engine-house, 65 ft. x 194 ft., has been built, and the 
new pump and one of the engines placed in position and con 
nected with the conduit. 

The dam at the outlet of the lake is in good condition. 


Mystic—V ALLEY SEWER. 


During the year 1894, 116,908,000 gallons of sewage was 
pumped ‘and chemically tre ated with sulphate of aluminum. 

Table XI., on page 194, gives the monthly quantities of 
sewage pumped, coal and aluminum used, etc. With the 
completion of the North Metropolitan Sewer, which will 
occur during the present year, the operation of the plant will 
be discontinued. 


Mystic ConpuIt AND RESERVOIR. 


The conduit has been twice cleaned during the year. 
In the annual reports for the past three years necessary re-

and as they have not yet been carried out the recommenda- 
tions are renewed.

Table VII., on page 191, shows in detail the work done by 
the engines during the year. Work upon the new engine 
for this station has been in progress at the works of the Gor 
Blake Manufacturing Company during the year, and the en- 
gine is, now nearly ‘ready for erection. On October 30, 
contract was made with Mack & Moore for building an ‘ae 
dition to the engine-house and for the necessary foundations 
for the engine. 

Work under the contract was begun about November 1. 
The engine foundation is now nearly completed, and it is ex- 
pected that the erection of the engine will be commenced by 
April 15 and completed during the year. 


CONSUMPTION. 
The daily average consumption for the year was as fol- 
lows:

Sudbury and Cochituate Works : . 46,560,000 gals.

a decrease of 1,353,600 gallons, or 2.3 per cent. from that of 
the previous year. One cause of the decreased consumption 
was the warmer winter of 1893-94. The mean temperature 
for the month of January, 1893, was 10 degrees lower than 
for January, 1894. The consumption of the months of Jan- 
uary, Yebruary, and March, 1894, was 473,372,500 gallons 
less than for the corre sponding months of the previous year, 
equivalent to 1,296,900 gallons per day for the entire year. 
The decrease is also due in a considerable measure to the de- 
pression in business, as the quantity of water sold by meter 
measurement averaged 400,000 gallons per day less than in 
1893. 

On account of the insufficiency of the Mystic supply, all 
of the Charlestown District lying east of Cambridge street 
was supplied from the Cochituate works from 3.30 P.M., 
of September 12, until the end of the year. The following 
table shows the consumption per inhabitant for the past two 
years :

DISTRIBUTION. 


On the Cochituate works, 17.88 miles of pipe were laid and 
5.13 miles abandoned, making a net increase of 12.75 miles, 
and a total of 572.8 miles now connected with the system. 

About three miles of the pipe which was abandoned was 
formerly connected with the Jamaica pond supply, and wa 
located in streets where there were mains connected with He 
Cochituate system. The work of laying a new 36-inch force 
main from the Chestnut Hill pumping-station to Fisher Hill 
reservoir has been completed during the year. 

The portion of the new 20-inch main for the supply of 

3righton, which is in the town of Brookline, 3,446 feet in 
length, was laid by the superintendent of the Br ookline works. 

The relaying of the 20-inch low service and the 12-inch high 
service mains on Dover street, between Albany street and 
Dorchester avenue, caused by the change of grade and rebuild- 
ing of Dover-street bridge, has been practically completed. 

The raising of the evade and abolition of grade cross- 
ings on Chelsea street, between Medford street and the 
city of Chelsea, made necessary a relocation of the mains 
supplying Chelsea and East Boston. For a length of about 
1,400 feet a 30-inch main has been substituted for the 24- 
inch and 20-inch mains supplying East Boston, and a 24-inch 
main substituted for the 16-inch main supplying Chelsea. 
These new mains have been laid outside the street location, 
on the property of the Boston & Maine Railroad Company. 

The distributing mains connected with the Mystic works 
have been extended 6.89 miles, and 10.33 miles have been 
relaid, in most cases with pipes of larger diameter. The 
total length now in service is 173.7 miles. 

There has been an increase of 175 in the number of 
hydrants connected with the Cochituate works, making a 
total now in use 6,217. 

On the Mystic works 148 hydrants have been added, and 
the total now connected with the works is 1,435. 

Two hundred and fifty-five petitions for main pipe have 
been reported upon, and 30 contracts for rock excavation 
have been made. Various profiles have been made, levels 
taken, and grades and lines furnished for the main pipe lay- 
ing. All pipe laid has been located and plotted on the 
plans. 

Corrosion OF Prres By ELECTROLYSIS. 


The investigations of the effect of electrolysis upon the 

water- -pipes have been continued during the year, under 
the supervision of Messrs. Stone & W ebster, and in brief 
the results arrived at are as follows: 


2 City Document No. 39. 


1. In certain places throughout the city electrolytic action 
taking place, and pipes have already been more or less 
aarad and are subject to premature decay. 

2. The many excavations which have been made about 
the city for the purpose of inspecting the pipes have given 
only negative results, revealing no marked action, and yet 
not proving that the natural dec: ay had not been accelerated 
by electrolysis. 

3. Action of a serious nature is confined to special locali- 
ties, where, owing to certain conditions of the railway system, 
abnormal currents are flowing through the earth, but as a 
whole, the action has been reduced to so small an amount 
that it is now difficult to detect. 

4. In the places where action is found special precautions 

in provision of return feeders, and connections with the 
piping system by the Street Railway Company, will ordinarily 
reduce the difficulty to a small amount. 
5. It is impracticable to entirely eliminate electrolytic 
action, but by a constant inspection of the water system as a 
whole, with a view of locating points where difficulty is 
liable to occur, and applying such remedies as are well 
known, the danger can be reduced to a minimum. 

6. The action at any one point is liable to increase or 
decrease temporarily from various causes, and tests made at 
any one locality at any specified time give no reasonable 
assurance that the same condition of affairs will exist for any 
considerable length of time. 

7. A very small difference in potential, as little as one- 
thousandth of a volt, will cause electrolytic action. 

8. Measurements of small difference of potential between 
water-pipes and the adjacent earth are of value principally in 
indicating the direction of flow of electric current rather than 
amount, and are not entirely reliable unless special precau- 
tions in measurements are taken. 

This is on account of the battery action, thermal effects, 
and other disturbing influences. 

9. The most practical way of reducing the liability of 
injury to pipes to a minimum is by detecting the places 
where action is occurring, through a carefully organized 
system of inspection and “tests, and requiring the Railway 
Company to provide suitable return conductors or make 
proper connections with pipes or rails where it is found that 
such action exists. 

10. Special provision can be made for measuring the 
flow of current from certain pipes to the ground, and, by 
devices of this sort installed at various places thr oughout the 
city, the most reliable information can be obtained in regard 


W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. LS 


to the quantity of current flowing away from the pipes in 
any particular section, and a determination made of their 
actual rate of deterioration. 

The following is Messrs. Stone & Webster’s report in 
detail : 


WILLIAM JACKSON, City Engineer, Boston, Mass. : 


Srr: In accordance with your request, we have, during the past year 
continued the investigation which was commenced some two years ago 
to determine the extent of the corrosive action of electric currents upon 
the pipes of the water system in the city of Boston, and beg to submit 
the following: 

It has been our purpose during the past year to conduct such tests and 
experiments as would enable us to determine as definitely as possible 
the extent of the injury which has been done up to the present time, and 
also to predict, if possible, how long atime would probably elapse before 
damage of a serious nature would result to the piping system as a whole 
from electrolytic corrosion, if allowed to continue at its present rate. 

It was clearly set forth in our report of a year ago that currents of a 
considerable magnitude were found to be flowing from place to place, 
through the earth and along the water pipes, but no definite conclusions 
had at that time been reached as to the extent of damage already done 
and the rate at which it was progressing. 

The results which have been obtained during the past year enable us 
to state quite positively that up to the present time the effect upon the 
piping system as a whole has not been serious in the city of Boston, 
although in other places where we have conducted tests during the past 
year, we have found that rapid decay was occurring, clearly due to elec- 
trolytic action. The reason of the slight action which has been found 
here is, primarily, that the street railway system is comparatively well 
equipped with return wires which conduct the greater,part of the current 
back to the power-station without serious damage to the piping system. 


Measurements of Potential of Piping System. 


During the last year a large number of readings have been taken of 
the difference of potential between the hydrants and the adjacent 
ground, and it has been found that this difference, which was formerly 
in many cases quite large, has been reduced to a comparatively small 
amount in nearly all parts of the city. 

The marked change in this respect over the tests made during the 
previous year shows that the flow of current from the pipes must have 
been materially reduced, and that the Railway Company are continually 
improving their system by bonding the rails and providing new return 
wires to the power station. 

Some difficulty has been experienced in the investigation of this sub- 
ject on account of the fact that changes in the return system of the 
Street Railway Company are made so frequently that difference of 
potential between pipes and surrounding earth in any particular locality 
frequently varies widely from time to time, and thus prevents any sys- 
tematic study of the action which is taking place at a point where a con- 
siderable difference of potential is once discovered. 

During the tests of a year ago, the greater part of our measurements, 
which were made for the purpose of determining the potential differences, 
were taken between the pipes, or the hydrants connected with the pipes, 
and the rails; but a careful study of the conditions convinced us that 
tests of this sort are unreliable, and consequently all measurements made 
during the past year have been taken between the pipes and the earth in 
their immediate vicinity. 


174 City DoctmeEent No. 39. 


The practical way in which the measurements have been made is illus- 
trated in Plate I., where it will be seen that a rod is inserted in the 
hydrant box, and a metallic connection upon the bottom of this rod 
touches the ground in the vicinity of the pipe, while the other pole of 
the measuring instrument is placed in contact with the metal of the 
hydrant, the valve stem usually being used for this purpose 

In course of the investigation some question arose as to whether the 
true difference of potential between a pipe and the surrounding earth is 
obtained by a measurement of this sort, and in order to decide this ques- 
tion as definitely as possible, the following readings were taken at sey- 
eral points where excavations had been made throughout the city: 


First. The actual difference of potential between the pipes and the 
ground immediately surrounding them, which is, of course, the meas- 
urement desired, was observed. 

Second. 'The difference of potential between the pipe and the surface 
of the ground was observed. 

Third. The difference of potential between the piping system and 
the earth at the base of the nearest hydrant box was measured in the 
way described. 


In the twelve places where satisfactory observations were made the 
potential between the pipes and the surface of the ground, and also the 
potential between the pipes and the earth at the base of the hydrants, 
was found always to have the same sign as the potential between the 
pipes and the ground immediately surrounding them. 

This would seem to prove conclusively that the method regularly 
adopted gives the correct polarity of the reading, and approximately 
the correct value. 

The object of the various measurements which were made of the 
differences of potential was principally to determine the polarity, and 
the differences so obtained are to be considered of value as indicating 
the direction rather than the amount of current flowing. 

Many measurements were taken in the city proper, and also in South 
Boston, East Boston, and Charlestown. The work was begun in Jan- 
uary, 1894, and over 700 different hydrants have been visited and about 
900 observations made. In many places the same hydrants have heen 
frequently visited, to determine whether or not considerable changes in 
potential difference took place from time to time. 

The results of these tests are on file, but we have not thought it neces- 
sary to insert them in this report, as the polarity at different points is 
indicated on the accompanying map, which shows the location of positive 
and negative hydrants throughout the city. The heavy full line shows 
a positive polarity, indicating a flow of current from the pipes to the 
ground, with consequent electrolytic action. The broken line shows a 
negative polarity at some observations and positive at others, and, being 
thus subject to change, it may be safely concluded that serious action is 
not going on in the district where such a state of affairs exist. 

The results of these tests show that the theoretical assumption in re- 
gard to the existence of a clearly defined danger district is not borne 
out in practice, and that in a city where reasonable provision for the 
return of current to the power-station has been made, the effect of elec- 
trolytic action, though slight, is widely distributed. 

In the immediate proximity of the power station most of the pipes 
were found very decidedly negative to the surrounding earth. 

Pipes at points far remote from the power-station in a few places 
were found very decidedly positive, due in some eases to the fact that the 
railway return circuit is not sufficiently large, or is otherwise defective ; 
and in others, to the fact that the piping system is not uniformly contin- 
uous in the direction of the power-station, and the return current has a 
tendency to follow it as far as possible, and then leave it for the earth.

W ATER-SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. 175 


From the observations made it has been shown that the potential and 
the polarity of the piping system in many places is continually chang- 
ing, even when the quantity of current returned remains substantially 
the same. 

This is due: 


First. To the degree of moisture in the soil from time to time, which 
affects the electrical resistance of the earth as a whole. 

Second. To the influences of electrically poor joints in the piping-' 
system. 

Third. To the fact that lines of piping are not continuous from all 
parts of the city in a direct line to the power-station, on which account 
there is a tendency for the current to go across ‘from one pipe to 
another, and the amount of current which so flows depends to a consid- 
erable extent upon the condition of the soil, which is subject to change. 

Fourth. To the fact that the copper wires which bond the rails some- 
times become corroded at the joints and affect the resistance of the 
return circuit, particularly where no supplementary wire is used. 

Fifth. To the changes in the ‘return system made by the Street Rail- 
way, from time to time, which, even if at points remote from the loca- 
tion of hydrants tested, make considerable differences in the potential 
observed. 


Difference of Potential required to Prcduce Electrolysis. 


The difference of potential obtained in the observations just described 
varies from 0.5 to .0005 volts, the average being perhaps about .02 
volts. 

It was formerly supposed that a difference of from 1 to 2 volts was 
required to produce electrolytic decomposition, but recent scientific in- 
vestigations have been made which prove conclusively that a very small 
difference of potential is sufficient to cause electrolytic action. 

As this question of amount of difference required for the production 
of electrolytic effects was an important one, we thought it desirable to 
conduct a series of tests with a view of determining, as definitely as pos- 
sible, the minimum potential requisite. 

For this purpose three cells were made up with electrodes of bright 
sheet iron immersed in a dilute solution of common salt. 

The plates of the first cell (A) were subjected to an electromotive 
force of .01 volts; of the second cell (B) to an electromotive force of 
.002 volts, while the third cell (C) was not connected at all to the 
source of electrical supply, and was only used to observe the rate at 
which the natural rusting of the iron would take place. 

The method of procedure was to immerse all the electrodes at one 
time, and after ten minutes to test for iron in the solution by means of 
ferricyanide of potassium. ‘Then to test again, from time to time, and 
to note which cells showed the strongest reaction. 

Three independent tests were made, all giving the same results, 
which were as follows: 


Table Showing Reaction in Test for Iron in the Electrolyte. 


Time after immersion. Cell (A) .01 volt. Cell (B) .002 volts. Cell (C) 0 volts. 
10 minutes. Trace. Trace. None. 
20 as Distinct. Slight. Trace. 
30 as ; Strong. Distinct. Just visible. 
60 nf Strong. Strong. Slight. 


From the above investigation it is obvious that an electromotive 
force, even so low as .002 volts, is sufficient to cause injurious action 
from electrolysis.

Flow of Electric Currents through Piping System. 


During the first year of our investigation into the matter of electro- 
lytic action we secured abundant evidence that large currents were 
almost continually flowing through various parts of the piping system, 
and the question arose immediately as to the amount of damage that 
such currents were doing. 

The tests made during the past year have confirmed the results ob- 
tained at first, and we have therefore thought this matter of sufficient 
importance to make it an object to conduct special labcratory tests to 
determine the probable extent and nature of injury resulting from this 
cause. 

In this city no well defined case of serious trouble from the passage 
of currents through the pipes themselves has been discovered, although 
some difficulty from electrical disturbances has been reported when 
making connections to the main water-pipe upon Dover street, near the 
South Boston bridge. But tests have so far revealed nothing of note. 
In other cities we have found serious action resulting from this cause 
at points where anything in the nature of an electrically insulated joint 
occurs. 

Plate III. shows a section of pipe which was examined under our 
direction in a city where considerable trouble had been experienced from 
electrolytic action. This particular piece of pipe was situated at a dis- 
tance of some two miles from the nearest electric power-station, and it 
so happened that the tendency of the current was to flow from the ad- 
jacent railway system to Section A, and thence to B, in the direction of 
the power-house. At X there was a rubber gasket, and under the bolt 
heads were cotton washers, so that Section A was electrically insulated 
from Section B. This made it necessary for the current to pass from 
the inner surface of A to the water, and then back again to the surface of 
B, in order to get around the joint. 

When we first noticed the rubber gasket, this condition of affairs was 
expected ; and, upon inspecting the inside of the pipe, it was found that 
the inner surface of A was covered with scales, and pitted in many 
places to a depth of 1-16 of an inch, while the inner surface of B was 
as clean and smooth as upon the day it was first laid. 

As the current flowing through this pipe was not large — probably 
not amounting, on an average, to more than a fraction of an ampere — 
it seemed probable that in many places trouble might occur even in a 
leaded bell and spigot joint, where, through corrosion or other, cause, the 
electrical connection was poor; and even to a greater extent in pipes 
where cement joints were used. 

We have shown by experiment that the action of a current flowing 
through piping with cement joints, as shown by Plate IV., is exactly simi- 
lar to the action on the joint with the rubber gaskets described above, 
except that a portion of the current leaves the outside of the pipe and 
passes through the earth around the joint. This was impossible where 
the joint came within a manhole, as in the case just mentioned. 

It may be well to state, however, in this connection, that where 
cement joints are used throughout a piping system, the breaks in the 
electrical continuity are so frequent that the pipes do not act to any 
great extent as conductors, so that very little current flows. 

With regard to lead joints, we have conducted several experiments to 
determine whether or not an injurious action would be caused if the 
current flowing through the pipe should be comparatively large. 

The first test was conducted on a section of cast-iron pipe, made up 
with lead joints, as shown in Plate V. This was placed in a box of sand, 
with the two ends projecting, and filled with water. 

A current of 200 amperes entered at the point marked +, and left at 
point marked —. ‘The current was allowed to pass for about nine

hours; then it was shut off for about thirty-six hours; then allowed to 
flow again for nine hours; and so on. Two hundred amperes was a 
large current for the size of the pipe, and it was sufficient to heat it 
perceptibly, especially at the joints. 

After this current had flowed for 70 hours, making a total amount of 
14,000 ampere hours, the pipe was removed and examined. ‘The inside 
of the pipe showed no marked corrosion, but the water had become very 
turbid, indicating electrical action. On the outside the rust was marked 
at the points R; also, slight rust was present on some other parts. 

The rust at the points R is accounted for from the fact that a portion 
of the current left the pipe at those points and passed around the joint 
through the moist sand. 

This shows that if a large current is flowing longitudinally in an iron 
pipe, even with good joints, an injurious action is likely to occur at the 
joints. 

Another and quicker method used for showing the same thing was 
adopted in the following test: 

The apparatus for this test consisted of two systems of iron pip- 
ing, made as in Plate V. Both of these were filled with water and 
supported by a wooden frame. 

A current of about 200 amperes was passed at intervals through one 
of the systems of piping. No current was passed through the other; 
and from time to time samples of water were taken simultaneously from 
both pipes. In this way we are able to compare the rate at which the 
water in each pipe became turbid. 

The experiment was stopped after 4,700 ampere hours of current had 
passed. ‘The difference in the samples, while not being striking, was so 
well marked that there was no mistaking that the pipe with the current 
passing through was rusting the more rapidly. 

From this test it is evident that the flow of an electric current along an 
iron pipe will increase the rate of decay‘of the pipe to some extent. 


Signs of Electrolytic Action, 


In carrying on such investigation as this it was at once recognized 
that it would be of great advantage to be able to note definitely whether 
the pipes which are submitted to us for inspection have been acted upon 
electrically, or are simply corroded from natural causes. With this in 
view, a study of the characteristic appearance, of both lead and iron 
pipes, when subjected to electrolysis, was undertaken in order to dis- 


cover, if possible, signs by which the polarity of the pipes could be 


known in cases where the action had not been sufficiently energetic to 
produce the well-known pitting marks. 

Samples of both lead and iron pipes were obtained for these tests 
from the Water Department. These pipes had been removed from the 
streets and were somewhat corroded. Several pairs of each of these 
were placed in damp sand, and a current of about one ampere was passed 
from one to another, thus making one pole of each pair positive to the 
sand and the other negative. This current was maintained for about 
three weeks during nine hours of each day, and occasional inspections 
were made, with the following results : 


Lead Pipes. 


Both pipes of each pair were originally somewhat corroded, and a 
small amount of scale adhered to the surface. When the positive pipe 
was taken out and examined after afew days’ run; amass of sand, about 
a quarter of an inch in thickness, adhered to it; and the particles of this 
sand were apparently cemented together with black and with salts of 
lead. Upon scraping off this outside coating of sand, purplish brown 
salts of lead could be seen adhering to the surface of the pipe, and after

current had been passed through the pipe for a sufficient length of time 
the well-known pit-marks were observed. The negative electrode, 
when removed from the sand, was clean, of a grayish color, and with 
little or no sand adhering to it, and of practically the same appearance 
as a similar pipe buried in sand and entirely free from electrolytic action 
of any sort. 

The above distinctions between the positive and negative electrodes, | 
while not clearly defined in all cases, were sufficiently marked to enable 
us to determine pretty definitely whether or not a pipe was subjected to 
electrolytic action, if inspection were made immediately after the pipe 
was removed from the ground. 


Iron Pipes. 


In the case of the iron pipes, the indications were less marked. The 
pipes were originally covered with a fine incrustation of sand, the 
particles of which were very firmly cemented together. When the pipes 
were inspected after a few days’ run, the only thing observed was that 
the scale cracked off more easily where electrolytic action had taken 
place than where no action whatever was present; but there was no 
clearly defined difference between the negative and positive pipes, and 
as a whole the results obtained were not sufficiently definite to warrant 
a determination as to whether or not iron pipes which are slightly cor- 
roded have been subjected to electrolytic influences. 


Rate of Deterioration due to Electrolysis. 


In places where electrolytic action is slowly taken place on account 
of the effect of the return currents from the Street Railway system, it is 
important to determine as accurately as possible the actual rate of decay 
due to this cause. 

Where the action is marked, occasional inspections will, of course, give 
a rough idea of this; but in the majority of places throughout the city 
of Boston deterioration is not taking place rapidly enough to make this 
practicable, so that it seemed desirable to devise some means of actually 
determining the rate at which the metal is being taken away from any 
particular length of pipe. With this in view, the apparatus shown in 
Plate VI. was devised. ; 

This consists of a wooden box (A) of about 7 feet in length, filled with 
tar, and placed around the service-pipe (S) beneath the surface of 
the street. Upon the outside of this box is fastened a sheath of lead 
(L) whose entire surface is of known relation to the surface of the pipe 
(S). From the lead sheath, and also from the pipe, wires are led 
through the tube (C) to a point (B) at the surface of the street, where 
they are available for connection with an ammeter or voltmeter, as 
desired. . 

All flow of current away from the pipe (S) throughout the distance 
where, it is insulated by the box (A), is of course prevented; but if the 
terminals of the wires at (B) are connected together through an am- 
meter, the tendency, of course, will be for the current which would 
naturally leave the pipe (S) to flow up the wire (X) and back by way 
of the wire (Y) to the lead sheath, and thence from the sheath to the 
ground. 

Several devices of this sort were installed at various places through- 
out the city and measurements of current taken, but as the apparatus 
was not put in use until late in the fall, the heavy snows during the win- 
ter have prevented satisfactory results. 

In other places where we have installed apparatus of this sort, and 
especially in cities where electrolytic action is taking place at a rapid 
rate, it has been found that quite reliable measurements as to the 
quantity of current flowing away from a pipe could be obtained, and as 
a given quantity of current deposits a certain amount of metal in a

given space of time, it has been possible to determine quite accurately 
the rate at which the pipe submitted to test is undergoing deterioration. 

We have recently devised a piece of apparatus, which is illustrated in 
Plate VII., for obtaining even more satisfactory results than could be ob- 
tained from the apparatus illustrated in Plate VI., and if the tests in this 
city are to be continued, we should advise that devices of this sort be 
installed at various places through the city, and that frequent measure- 
ments of the flow of current be made. 

The apparatus consists simply of two insulating joints (A) and (B), 
with a length of service-pipe, say, ten feet, between them. Wires from 
each side of each of these insulating joints are carried to the surface of 
the street. By the insertion of a delicate ammeter between’ the wires 
(c) and (d), a measurement of the quantity of current flowing from the 
main to the service-pipe can be obtained, and if the wires (a) and (b) are 
left disconnected, this measurement gives approximately the quantity 
current flowing away from the section (A-B) to the earth, and enables 
one to determine roughly the rate of deterioration. 

By connecting the wires (a and b) together, and leaving the ammeter 
as shown, connected with wires (c and d) a measurement can be ob- 
tained of the quantity of current flowing away from the entire length 
of service-pipe. 

The question will probably be asked whether or not the current flow- 
ing through the water in the pipe is not sufficient to vitiate the results, 
even although an insulated joint in the metal itself is inserted. 

In reply to this we would say, that the resistance of the ammeter and 
leads is so small in comparison with the resistance of the water that for 
practical purposes it may be said that all the current flowing from the 
main into the service-pipe will pass through the ammeter (H) and be 
there recorded. °

(ZFENERAL CONDITION OF THE WORKS. 


The completion of Reservoir No. 6 has increased the daily 
capacity of the Sudbury and Cochituate supply about 4,000,- 
00V gallons, and the safe capacity of the works in a year of 
extreme drought is now about 41,500,000 gallons. 

As the daily average consumption during the past year 
was 46,560,000 gallons, it is evident that there is a liability 
that the supply may be insufficient before Reservoir No. 5 
can be completed. The consumption from the Mystic works 
is now about 11,500,000 gallons per day, an amount far in 
excess of their capacity. Even during the past year, which 
was not exceptionally dry, 40,000 people in the Charlestown 
district were supplied from the Cochituate works for nearly 
four months, and Mystic lake was drawn to such a low point 
by the temporary pumps that the quality of the water was 
affected by the infiltration of salt water from the Lower 
Mystic lake. 

Although the completion of Reservoir No. 5 will raise the 
safe total capacity of all the sources of supply to 61,500,000 
gallons per day, it is evident that the daily consumption, 


180 Crty Document No. 39. 


which is now about 5 7,000, 000 gallons, will soon be in excess 
of the yield of our sources of supply 

Another consideration is the question of the necessity of 
abandoning the Mystic supply on account of the difficulty in 
preserving the purity of the water. The annual reports 
for the past fifteen years have reiterated the statement that 
the quality of the water from this source is constantly de- 
teriorating, and that it is not practicable, on account of the 
large population residing on the water-shed, to make any 
permanent improvement in the quality. As the ‘Mystic supply 
cannot be abandoned until an additional supply is obtained, 
and as the construction of Reservoir No. 5 will complete the 
development of the Sudbury river supply, it is evident that 
immediate steps should be taken to procure an additional 
supply sufficient to meet the requirements of the city for 
future years. 

In consequence of the great increase in the high-service | 
consumption the supply mains from Fisher Hill ‘Reservoir 
and in the Roxbury District are inadequate to furnish a sup- 
ply without an excessive loss of head. At times the Parker 
Hill Reservoir has been nearly emptied, and residents on the 
higher land have been entirely deprived of their supply. 

To remedy this difficulty the laying of a 48-inch main has 
been recommended from the junction of Fisher Hill avenue 
and Boylston street to the corner of Huntington avenue and 
Heath street. At this point the main will be divided, a 42- 
inch main continuing through Huntington avenue and Boyl- 
ston street for the supply of the city proper, with a connection 
at Wait street for the supply of Parker Hill Reservoir; the 
other branch, 36 inches in diameter, to be carried through 
Heath street and across the Roxbury district. 

The new pumping-engines at the Chestnut Hill and Mystic 
stations will furnish sufficient pumping capacity to meet the 
requirements at those stations for the next five years. 

At the East Boston station all of the pumps are in need of 
repairs, and a new pump should be purchased for the use of 
the Breed’s Island service. 

The relaying of the old tuberculated mains with pipes of 
larger size and the laying of new supply mains has not kept 
pace with the growth of the city for the past few years 
About 10 miles of the new and enlarged mains which have 
been recommended to your Board since 1891 still|remain to 
be laid, and I recommend that the work be pushed as fast 
is possible. From threer to four miles of the old 4-inch and 
6-inch pipe and from 100 to 200 of the old pattern Boston 
hydrants should be replaced each year, to meet the demands 
for better fire protection.

Appended to this report will be found the usual tables of 
rainfall, consumption, etc., for the past year, and in addition, 
tables are given of the rainfall, rainfall collected, and per- 
centage collected on the Cochituate water-shed since 1863, 
on the Sudbury-river water-shed since 1875, and on the 
Mystic water-shed since 1878. These will be found valuable 
for future reference. 


Yours respectfully, 
WILLIAM JACKSON, 
City Engineer.

FOR THE YEAR 1894. 


OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF WIRES, 
Oxrp Court Houses, Boston, February 1, 1895. 
Hon. Epwin U. Curtis, 
Mayor of the City of Boston: 


Srr: I respectfully submit the first annual report covering 
the expenses of and work done by the Wire Department 
from its organization, August 4, 1894, to February 1, 1895. 

The duties of the office are many and far-reaching. They 
are as follows: , 

To have all wires, cables, and conductors in the city north 
of Dover and Berkeley streets and between the Charles river, 
the harbor, and Fort Point channel, placed, maintained, and 
operated underground. 

To supervise and inspect all wires, cables, and conductors 
in the whole city, whether underground or overhead. 

To designate in the whole city the distances between over- 
head electric wires, cables, and conductors. 

To regulate the direction in which such wires, cables, or 
conductors shall be run. 

The keeping and maintenance of all structures, especially 
those placed upon any roof, for the support of wires or cables, 
in a manner satisfactory to the Commissioner of Wires. 

To abate or remove any electrical danger which the Com- 
missioner of Wires deems likely to result from the require- 
ments of the law not being complied with. 


2 City DocumEnT No. 40. 


The maintenance of all wires at least eight feet above the 
highest parts of all buildings over which wires run. 

To decide on requests for exemption of wites and cables 
from going underground, and of poles, supports, etc., from 
removal. 

The inspection of all wires, as to whether they are suit- 
able, strong, and sufficiently insulated. 

The protection of all wires on entering paid by 
fuses. 

The inspection of all wires carrying electric-light currents 
within buildings, electric plants, etc. 

To see that all wires are tagged with the owner’s name. 

The removal of all dead and abandoned wires. 

The department came into being August 4, 1894. The 
work was divided as follows: 

(a.) The supervision and inspection of underground 
electric subways. ‘This covers all trench-work; the laying 
of underground electric conduits; the inspection of all 
underground cables and wires as to insulation, carrying capac- 
ity, conductivity, etc., and the electric or power plants 
furnishing the current. 

(6.) The examination of the interior wiring of all build- 
ings, especially such wires as carry electric power or light- 
ing currents ; the inspection of fuses; the investigation of 
fires and accidents caused by electricity. 

(c.) The inspection of all overhead construction, as re- 
gards wires, cables, structures, poles, ete. 

(d.) The removal of all dead and abandoned wires, and 
the inspection of the tagging of all wires with the owner’s 
name. 

(e.) The electrical engineering and clerical work, and 
the preparing of necessary maps ‘and plans. 


UNDERGROUND. 


The first duty of the department was the placing of the 
wires underground, as called for by law, as speedily as pos- 
sible. The district prescribed for 1894 was that bounded 
southerly by Dover street; thence through Tremont street 
to LaGrange street; thence through LaGrange street to 
Washington street; thence through Washington street to 
Beach street ; thence through Beach street to Kingston street ; 


thence through IXingston street to Essex street; thence 


through Essex street and across Federal street to the water 


front ; thence along the Harbor Commissioners’ line to the 


Dover-street drawbridge. It contained about 8,306,000 


> 
square feet, —a little less than one-fifth of the area of the

Of the 1,348,450 feet of wire on poles, 125,000 feet was 
dead, and of the 8,677,800 feet of wire on fixtures, 2,300,000 
feet was dead; or a total of 2,425,000 feet of dead wire in the 
district prescribed for 1894. 

The amount of electric wire of all kinds overhead, by this 
report,. is shown to be about 5,174,550 feet. From an 
engineering stand-point the construction was bad and danger- 
ous to life and property. 

Plans were prepared of the wires, cables, conductors, 
structures, and poles in the district, showing how every 
wire and cable was run, and every pole and structure placed, 
also the owner. The task was difficult, and a similar one 
has never been attempted elsewhere to my knowledge. 

While this survey was in progress, many hearings were 
held with the corporations and individuals who had wires 
in the district, and plans were perfected by which the wires 
could be placed underground. It was September 5 before 
definite arrangements were made and the work commenced. 
The law said the work should be done before January 1, 
1895, thus allowing only four months for building the 
necessary subways. The law was, doubtless, intended to 
‘go into effect sufficiently early to have taken advantage of 
the summer months. That it did not, was a serious draw- 
back; but, in spite of this fact, the wires are underground, 
except in some isolated cases. 

Boston is somewhat behind other cities in making a begin- 
ning of placing electric conductors underground. The delay 
has been profitable in one way. It has made possible the 
adoption of a subway construction based upon the experi- 


Nore. — In estimating the amount of dead wire, considerable of it was found to 
belong to companies and individuals, and portions have been removed from time to 


time by the supposed owners.

ence of those who have gone before. All the companies 
in the main have built after the same methods. 

The subway proper is of ducts or pipes made of sheet iron 
and lined with cement, leaving an opening three inches in 
diameter. These are laid in concrete, and wood placed 
around the concrete as a protection. Manholes with iron 
covers are placed along the line of the ducts, and the insu- 
lated, lead-covered cables which carry the electric current 
are drawn through the ducts from manhole to manhole. 
The separate lengths of cable are jointed together in each 
manhole. Beyond this point the construction varies ac- 
cording to the service required. 

The details of the type of conduits, cables, insulation, 
. drawing-in of cables, distribution, etc., will be found in the 
special reports covering the work of the various com- 
panies. 

I am of the opinion that the placing of electric wires 
underground was commenced in Boston not a moment too 
soon. ‘The improved construction of subways and the insu- 
lation of underground conductors lessens the dangers to 
life and property from electricity far more so than our 
present overhead construction. 

The possible defect of electric subways in Boston is the 
presence of gas. Experience elsewhere, it is claimed, shows 
that the gas comes from leaky mains in the street. We have 
good gas main construction in Boston. The danger from 

gas in ‘the subways Is thus reduced toa minimum. If trouble 
ena from this source, however, it can be corrected. Various 
methods have been tried in New York, Philadelphia, and 
other cities, such as ventilation through electric-light poles, 
etc., driving the gas out by blowers, and again by maintaining 
an air pressure in the ducts sufficient to prevent gas enter- 
ing from the outside. The latter method is pursued in New 
York with satisfactory results. 

The companies in our city have not taken any action to 
prevent gas in the subways other than constant inspection. 
They have agreed, however, to meet the difficulty if it 
arise. We have had, since they organization of the Wire 
Department, one explosion in the subways, and that was 
traced to a leak in the gas main. 

As regards electrolysis, steps have been taken by the West 
End Railroad, in connection with return wires in their sub- 
ways, which promises to further obviate that danger.

THe UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL WORK DONE IN THE 
PRESCRIBED DISTRICT FOR 1894. 


The length of trench dug since September 5 is 48,817 
feet. 

The number of feet of single duct for telegraph and tele- 
phone service is 9,348. This includes distribution service 
connections. Reckoning 240 wires to each duct, the capacity 
of these ducts is 2,243,520 feet of single wire. 

The number of feet of single-duct conduit for are lighting 
and power service is 387,845. The maximum total capacity 
of this conduit is 2,080,206 feet of cable. 

The amount of cable drawn through the ducts is 327,728 
feet. 


The streets through which subways have been laid are as 
follows : 

Dover, Albany, Harrison avenue, Shawmut avenue, Tre- 
mont, Ferdinand, Columbus avenue, Park square, Boylston, 
Essex, Winchester, Pleasant, Castle, Castle square, Broad- 
way, Columbia, Bedford, Summer, Atlantic avenue, Federal, 
Summer-street extension, Gilbert place, Kneeland, Eliot, 
Kingston, South, Waterford, Tufts, Beach, Harvard, Oak, 
Curve, Indiana place, Hollis, Way, East, Essex place, 
Lincoln, LaGrange, Florence, Chapman, and Albion. 


Sheet 1 is a map of the 1894 district, with all the 
underground subways which were built to relieve it of over- 
head wires. In opening the streets one opening only was 
made in each street for all parties who were building sub- 
ways. The result was the least possible inconvenience to 
the public. 


The following tables show the work supervised by the 
underground division in the whole city:

All companies and individuals owning wires within the 
district for 1894 have been ordered, commencing with 
January 1, 1895, to remove the wires, cables, conductors, poles 
etc., which are not exempted by law. Atthe present time, 
in spite of the stormy weather, considerable progress has been 
made, and over one-half of the overhead wires have been 
removed. | 

Many difficulties have been met with, apart from the short- 
ness of the time, by the companies in placing their wires un- 
derground. It is a new business in Boston; consequently 
the drawing-in of the cables, the making connections, and the 
testing of the conductors have, naturally, been at times slow. 
Other difficulties have been delays in receiving pipes and 
cable. As fast as these troubles have been overcome and 
the underground circuits completed, the overhead circuits 
are taken down. 

At the present time the cables of all companies are drawn 
through the ducts, and with the exception of connecting up 
in some cases, are ready for service. The exceptions to this 
rule are: 


Ps! 


Wire DEPARTMENT. 3 8) 


The Suburban Light and Power Company. Subways com- 
pleted and cable drawn in, but not connected up. They 
have about 10,000 feet of wire overhead to remove. 

The wires of the. Police Department, which are not as yet 
placed in the subways. 

Boston Electric Light Company subway complete; about 14 
out of 314 miles of underground cable yet to be drawn 
through the ducts. 

West End R.R. subway complete; a total of about two 
out of twenty-one miles of feed cable to be drawn 
through the ducts. 


The Police Department have made a beginning of their 
work by placing posts for their boxes, which are to be con- 
nected to their underground service. 

In both the case of the West End Railroad and the Boston 
Electric Light Company, two days will be sufficient to draw 
in the balance of their underground cable. 

As regards the removal of overhead wires, so much prog- 
ress has been made tbat only a few weeks longer will be 
necessary to take down all overhead wires in the ‘district for 
1894. Upto February 1 about 3,000,000 feet of wire has 
been removed, and some poles.

district. 


CONDITION OF THE District oF 1894 on FEBRUARY 1, 1895. 


West End Street Railway Company: Subway complete 
and 11,500 feet of the underground system in use. 

All feed wires to be removed; also all poles except those 
supporting the trolley wires. | 
Began taking down overhead wires January 31. Total 

amount of overhead wire to be removed, 17.897 miles. 

The subway work of the West End Railroad consists of 
a main line on Albany street and Kingston street from the 
central power station to Summer street ; 

A branch of the lines on Dover street from Albany street 
to the water line; 

From Albany street along Broadway, Pleasant street and 
Shawmut avenue to Warrenton street; 

From Kingston street along Essex, Washington, and 
Boylston streets to Tremont street ; 

A short temporary line onSummer street, near Otis street, 
for supplying the section of the city north of the prescribed 
district for 1894. 

The total amount of work done consists of 35 manholes, 
9,215 feet of trench, 185,819 feet of duct. This latter in- 
cludes six connections from the underground service to the 
poles and to three terminal points. 

The total amount of cable placed underground by the 
West End Railroad is 101,073 feet ; leaving 10,560 feet to be 
drawn in. The conduits are to be used for the feed and re- 
turn wires carrying current for the trolley cars, one or more 
ducts of the system being reserved for the telephone service 
of the company, and possibly for a service in connection 
with the prevention of gas in the ducts. 

The following parties did the work : 


WIRE DEPARTMENT. Val 


National Conduit Manufacturing Company, construction of 
underground conduits. 
Walworth Manufacturing Company, construction of bridge 
conduit. 
West End Street Railway Company, construction of man- 
holes, and distribution system. 

Norwich Insulated Wire Company, cable-drawing. 

Boston Electric Light Company, construction of subway on 
Shawmut avenue. . 

Standard Underground Cable Company, cable drawing. 


The subways consist of a series of cement-lined pipes laid 
in concrete, at a depth varying from three to ten feet below 
the level of the street. The manholes are located at an 
average distance apart of about 250 feet. The actual dis- 
tance between two consecutive manholes varies from 40 to 
460 feet, and is regulated by conditions of grading, obstruc- 
tion, and convenience. 

The manholes are built of common brick and cement, 
generally extending a foot below the bottom of the conduit. 
Average size of manhole, 6 ft. x 6 ft. x 6 ft. with an 8-in. 
wall and 3-in. concrete bottom. ‘Tar, tar-paper, and concrete 
are used for protection against water. For service connec- 
tions and bridge conduits, wrought-iron pipes without con- 
crete protection are employed. ‘The system is graded toward 
the manholes to prevent the accumulation of water inthe ducts. 
The following are the number of ducts in the system:

Three kinds of cable are used — feed, return, and tele- 
phone. The feed cables are supplied by two different firms. 
The Norwich Insulated Wire Company furnishes a 500,000 
cir. mil cable, with paper insulation and lead sheathing. 
The Standard Underground Cable Company also furnishes a 


12 Ciry Document No. 40. 


500,000 cir. mil cable, with fibre insulation and lead sheath- 
ing. The connections in the manholes are simple soldered 
joints, connection boxes not being employed. The return 
cable employed is the fibre insulated 500,000 cir. mil cable 
now used as overhead feeders. 

The specifications for feed cable called for pure copper 
of conductivity of 995 per cent. and an insulation resistance 
of not less than 1,500 megohms per mile, tested after laying 
jointing, etc. 

The results of tests for insulation resistance upon nine 
specimens, each about one-fourth of a mile in length, show 
an average of 2,996 megohms per mile, at a temperature of 
39° Fahrenheit. The cable showing maximum insulation 
gave 5,845 megohms per mile, at 33° F. The minimum 
was 1,729 megohms, at a temperature of 47° F. 

Tests made upon two miles of their telephone cable showed 
an insulation resistance of 3,000 megohms per mile, at 40 
degrees F. The electrostatic capacity of each pair of con- 
ductors in the cable was found to be .10 of a microfarad 
per mile. 

The method of distribution consists In carrying an iron 
pipe from the manhole to the pole ‘at which the service 
connection is to be made. The pipe is then continued up 
by the side of the pole to a switch-box from which an 
insulated wire nrakes connection to the trolley wire. A 
cable is then drawn into this pipe, completing the connection 
between the switch-box and the manhole, and at the latter 
point is jointed to one of the main line cables. An under- 
ground connection is also made at each manhole from the 
return wire in the ducts to the nearest point of the track. A 

cable is run through after the same principle as empioyed 
by the New England Telephone Company and connected to 
the sheathing of every cable at each manhole, for the pur- 
pose of preventing damage by electrolysis in the ducts. In 
addition a coating of tin is used over the lead for the same 
purpose. 


Boston Exrctrric Lianut Company. 


The conduits are employed for carrying wires used for 
electric light and power. The conduit used was that of the 
National Conduit Manufacturing Company. The work of 
construction of the subway, including manholes, distribution 
system, cable-drawing, etc., was done by the Boston Elec- 
tric Light Company. The subways are similar to those 
used by. the West End Street Railway Company. 

The distribution consists in carrying iron pipe from the 


-manholes to the poles or buildings at which service connec- 


Wire DEPARTMENT. Tes 


tions are to be made. In connecting lamp-post the cable is 
drawn up to the carbons through the pole. Where the pole 
is at a distance from the conduit, a small manhole is built at 
the foot of the pole for convenience in cable-drawing. 

The cables used are rubber-insulated and fibre-insulated, 
with lead sheathing. No. 6 is used for are circuits, and for 
’ incandescent and power purposes Nos. 00 and 0000. The 
Safety Insulation Wire Company, the Washburn & Moen Com- 
papvy, and the Habirshaw Wire Company, supply the cable. 

The amount of cable in the ducts is 158,244 feet, leaving 
8,000 feet to be drawn in to complete the work. Of this, 
47,520 feet was made necessary in order to establish trunk- 
line connections between the two stations, and relieve Eliot 
and Kneeland streets of wires and poles. 

Seven underground circuits are now in use, the first being 
successfully operated January 1, 1895 Three hundred 
thousand (300,000) feet of overhead wire have already been 
removed, and the remainder is in process of removal. 

The specifications for cable require that the conductivity 
of the copper be 98 per cent. of that of pure copper. The 
cable, before being sheathed, to be tested in water at 65° 
F., and to show an insulation resistance of 1,500 megohms 
per mile for the series are conductors, and 800 megohms 
per mile for the alternating current conductors. 

Tests have been made on 7 cables spliced in the ducts, 
the lengths tested varying from .75 of a mile to 3.5 miles. 

The results show an average insulation resistance of 2,294 
megohms per mile for arc conductors, and 1,152 megohms 
per mile for alternating current conductors.

A single duct (1) indicates a service connection. 

The feet of trench dug was about 30,460, and 201,926 
feet of conduit was laid. Of this work about one-third of 
the trench and at least one-half of the pipe is outside the 
prescribed district for 1894, and in the neighborhood of the 
power stations of Ferdinand street and Gilbert place. This 
latter work was made necessary in order to connect with 
the power-houses. One hundred forty-eight manholes 
are included in the subway and the iron conduits across 
seven railroad bridges. 

Of the distribution system, 98 service connections, in- 
cluding ten manholes and several thousand feet of iron pipe, 
have been completed. |

New ENGLAND TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY. 


The conduit is used for carrying telephone cables of this 
company, also the fire-alarm cables of the Boston Fire Alarm 
Department. | 

Several kinds of duct have been used, viz.: wooden, 
vitrified clay, wrought-iron and cement-lined pipe. 

Within the prescribed district of 1894, cement-lined pipe 
only is used at the present time for conduit, and cement- 
lined pipe and wrought-iron pipe are employed for service 
connctions. 

The main conduit is of the same character as that of the 
West End Street Railway Company and the Boston Electric 
Light Company. 

The New England Telephone & Telegraph Company has 
a somewhat more complicated distribution system than have 


18 Crry Document No. 40. 


the West End and Boston Electric Light companies, owing 
to the fact that each telephone user must have a separate 
pair of wires; while in the case of electric current for light- 
ing or power purposes, a single pair of wires can supply a 
large number of customers. 

The Telephone Company uses wrought-iron pipe without 
concrete for its subsidiary ducts. The pipe leads from the 
nearest manhole to the side of a building, where it bends 
upward and is run up the wall to a sufficient height to protect 
the cable from mechanical injury. The cable is continued to 
a distribution box on tbe wall or roof, whence wires are 
led across the roofs or along the walls to the several sub- 
scribers in the block. 

The cable mainly used by this company is of paper insu- 
lation and lead sheathed. 

The number of pairs of wires in the cables varies from ten 
to one hundred and ten. 

The work of this company in the district of 1894 consists 
of the construction of conduit on the following streets : 


South street, 2 ducts. Washington street, 2 duets. 
Kneeland street, 2 ducts. — | Hollis street, 2 ducts. 
Oak street, 2 ducts. Dover street, 6 ducts. 


Essex st., 1, 2, and 8 ducts. ' Knapp street, 1 duct. 


The conduit completed connects with previously con- 
structed subway on these and intersecting stréets. 

All the work, including subway construction and cable 
drawing, was done by the New England Telephone & Tele- 
graph Company. 

The total amount of work done is as follows : 


76,411 feet of duct laid. 
133,098 feet of cable drawn. 
80 manholes constructed. 


Of this, the following was done within the boundaries of 
the district of 1894: 


8,586 feet of duct laid. 
58,041 feet of cable drawn. 
21 manholes constructed. 


The subway-work is complete and the work of removing 
overhead wires is well under way. Three hundred thousand 
(300,000) feet of overhead wire have been removed. ‘The 
few poles and wires now remaining are being rapidly re- 
moved.

OveERHEAD ELecrric CONSTRUCTION. 


The overhead construction, especially the electric light 
and power wires, in the city, has been inspected, special at- 
tention being given to the part of the city lying north of 
Dover and ‘Berkeley streets and extending to the Charles 
river, the harbor and Fort Point channel. "Here is centred 
the business life of the whole city. It is also tne hazardous 
district from a fire stand-point. 

The mass of wires strung over the roofs of buildings is 
something enormous. So great is the quantity, so many the 
diff-rent owners, and so difficult is it to maintain insulation, 
that they cannot help being ina dangerous condition. Iam 
of the opinion that these wires are a great fire hazard, both 
in causing fires and obstructing the firemen. Again, they 
are likely at any time to be dangerous to the public and to 
the lives of linemen. 

Poor work in many places characterizes the construction. 
The following are some of the defects met with: 

Broken insulators and pins found everywhere. 

Rubber hooks used. : 

Wires run in wooden cleats and wooden mouldings on 
buildings. 

Wires run along sign-boards and through cloth signs. 

Wires tied to nails, pegs, and loosely to insulators. 

Bushings lacking where wires enter buildings. 

No water loops. 

Lighting wires on the same cross-arms with other wires. 

Porcelain knobs used. 

Several wires on the same insulators. 

Wires in contact with shutters, water conductors, etc. 

Wires against sharp corners of girders. 

Wires over exhaust steam-pipes. 

Wires too close to roofs. 

Wires of too small size used often. 

Wires sagging badly. 

Wires twisted together. 

Electric-light wires run down chimneys with low potential 
wires.

Wires guyed from other wires by ropes. 

Untapped joints numerous. 

Insulation frail in many places, leaving wire bare in 
spots. 

Ends of circuit left untapped. 

Primary of transformer touching iron cases or woodwork, 
or likely to become crossed with secondary. 

Insulated wires in contact in many places. 

Marking “On” and “ Off” on arc-light switch wanting or 
indistinct. 

Wires high and low potential massed together. 

Such is the mass and arrangement of the wires, together 
with the defects, that when they become crossed through 
storms and other causes the dangers referred to above must 
necessarily follow. Another trouble is the loss of the ser- 
vice of fire alarm, police, telephone, and lighting wires. 

The way to obviate the dangers of bad overhead construc- 
tion is to place the wires underground i in the- prescribed dis- 
trict as soon as possible, and correct all the overhead defects. 

The overhead division have inspected, in connection with 
wire construction, 1,340 poles, 716 fixtures, 290 lamps, and 
10,308,850 feet of wire and cable Notices have been sent to 
the owners of poles, wires, cables, and fixtures, covering 
4.674 defects. Parties at interest have shown a desire to do 
all in their power to meet the Wire Department in its de- 
mands, and a large proportion of the defects have been cor- 
rected. 

To facilitate the work of a thorough inspection, the city 
has been laid out into sections, each section divided 
into blocks, the wires on each block inspected, and all the 
structures thereon numbered. From this Inspection maps 
are being made showing the condition of every wire, struct- 
ure, and pole inthe city. This work will materially improve 
the overhead construction. Some idea of the enormous 
number of overbead wires in our city can be formed from 
the following facts: In the city proper north of Dover and 
Berkeley streets, less than two miles in area, it is fair to say 
that there is 75,000,000 feet of wire. 

In the whole city there are, according to the plans on file 
in the office, 12,398 poles. It is estimated that the number 
of fixtures is over 50,000. 

Cuts Nos. 1, 5, 6, and 7 represent the overhead wire con- 
struction on buildings. 

Cuts Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 8 show the overhead wire con- 
struction in streets. 

Some ideas can be formed from these of the dangerous 
mingling of masses of high and low potential wires. 


24. City Document No. 40. 


The cuts as a whole illustrate the conditions which the 
Fire Department meets with in getting into buildings and 
over the roofs to put out fires. They also show how easy it 
is when these wires become tangled up, to cause fire at a 
distance, and also death to citizens and to those who work 
upon the lines. It is unnecessary to say one word of the 
unsightly appearance they give to Boston. The cuts speak 
for themselves.

The rest of the defects are in process of correction. 

A supply of electrical instruments, suitable for use in 
making such tests or measurements as may be necessary in 
the work of this department, has been purchased. They 
have been of great benefit. 

On all special occasions, when temporary wiring for elec- 
trical effects has been in use, inspectors have been detailed 
for duty at such places. 

Special attention has been given to large area buildings, 
theatres, and hotels, inspections being made monthly, and 
oftener when deemed necessary. As a result one theatre 
has been rewired, another has had its wiring put in safe con- 
dition, and two others are undergoing extensive alterations. 
In addition some hotels and a number of the large retail 
stores are correcting the defects in their electric plants. 

The law calls for the use of fuses to prevent heavy cur- 
rents from entering into buildings and causing fire. When 
the Wire Department was organized, it was found that in 
many cases fuses were not used. The companies and indi- 
viduals not living up to the law were notified immediately, 
and most of them have made a beginning of placing fuses on 
all wires. It is my intention to see that the use of fuses is 
strictly enforced. 

The one trouble met with in the carrying out of a. thorough 
inspection of all interior wiring, is the fact that some of the 


WIRE DEPARTMENT. 25 


contractors do not notify this department when work is to 
be done. The result is that it is impossible to make a thor- 
ough examination. There is nothing in the law that can 
force parties to send a proper notice. This defect should be 
remedied. 

It is only fair to say, however, that the greater number 
of contractors have extended every courtesy to the Wire 
Department, and aided it in the prosecution of its work. 

The amount of work during the six months ending Febru- 
ary 1 is fully one hundred per cent. greater than that of 
the same period last year. | 

At present the Interior Wiring Division is handicapped by 
the small number of inspectors which it has to handle a vast 
amount of work. Not only have they the new work to in- 
spect, but, besides responding to fires, they also have the 
immense amount of old wiring to look after. A large pro- 
portion of this old work is of a type which is dangerous. 

If the force of inspectors was increased, more attention 
could be devoted to the buildings in which old wiring exists, 
und the results would be seen in the decrease of fires and ac- 
cidents that are caused by electricity. 

All accidents and fires which were possibly caused by 
electricity have been investigated. 

They are classified as follows:

As the result of the accidents, three men lost their lives ; 
one man received burns on the hands; a fireman received 
severe burns from a current of electricity, and was also badly 
bruised by being knocked from a ladder. Several persons 
received shocks by coming in contact with an iron pole; one 
man had to be assisted from a street-light pole on account of 
shock which he received while at work. Three horses were 
killed, and one horse received severe shocks. 

Of the fires inside of buildings all but three were on 


26 City Document No. 40. 


wiring which was done prior to the formation of the Wire 
Department. Of these three, two were installed without 
any notification having been received, and therefore they 
had not been inspected. The other had been reported by 
this department as liable to cause trouble, and no action had 
been taken by the owner. 

Numerous tests have been made in the interior of build- 
ings for stray electric currents. This is an important ques- 
tion, especially so when we find currents of electricity 
entering buildings in the business section of Boston, and 
causing fires and other damage. The fire losses for the past 
SIX months in Boston probably caused by electricity are 
about $80,000. Proper electrical construction would have 
prevented much of this loss. This shows the importance of 
au thorough inspection of electric wiring in the interior of 
buildings. 

A list in detail of the fires and accidents is submitted. 
(See Appendix A.) 


REMOvaL OF DEAD AND ABANDONED Wires, Etc. 


The work of removing abandoned wire, poles, fixtures, 
etc., has been very arduous. By the force of the depart- 
ment the following work has been done: Supervision of the 
various companies and individuals in removing from the dis- 
trict of 1894 wire amounting to about 2,000, 000 feet, and all 
poles and fixtures. Abandoned fixtures have been removed 
by the Wire Department, and wire amounting to 881,150 
feet. (This includes the whole city.) The wires of the 
whole city have been looked after as regards being tagged 
with owner’s name. During the stormy weather, night and 
day, all dangerous wires have been removed, and as far as 
possible accidents from electricity have been prevented. 
Many calls have been received from citizens to remove 
electrical dangers, and have met with prompt response. A 
portion of the overhead inspection has also devolved on the 
Dead Wire Division. 

Of the abandoned wire taken down by the Wire Depart- 
ment, 792,900 feet was of no value and was deposited 
at the dumps; 88,250 feet was preserved as of value, and 
will be sold and placed to the credit of the department. 
(104,650 feet was removed from poles and 776,500 feet from 
house-tops. ) 

In‘the office are on file plans of all pole locations in the 
city and all underground subways, a record of the test of all 
conductors, and plans covering the surveys thus far made of 
overhead wires, fixtures, etc. .

In many of the electrical investigations made, the camera 
has been found useful. Numerous photographs have been 
taken by employees of the office, which illustrate important 
points. 

Rules have been made covering overhead construction, 
interior wiring, underground construction, and the various 
tests, including the carrying capacity of wires and the nec- 
essary insulation resistance for overhead and underground 
cables. They will form a basis for all future inspections. 

The dangers from electrolysis are being constantly in- 
vestigated. | 

In January of this year the district for 1895 was duly pre- 
scribed. It covers that portion of the city bounded by the 
line which marks the boundary of the prescribed district 
for 1894, running from the junction of Ferdinand and Tre- 
mont streets, through Tremont to LaGrange, through La- 
Grange to Washington, across Washington to ‘Beach, 
through Beach to Kingston street, through Kingston street 
to Essex, through Essex to the water front: ; commencing at 
this point, the line will run along the Harbor Commissioners’ 
line to the point of division between Foster’s and Rowe’s 
wharves; thence to and across Atlantic avenue, along 
Broad, Franklin, Washington, Bromfield, Tremont, Park, 
enc oh, Ghanian. across Boyls ston, Park square, along Co- 
lumbus avenue. Ferdinand street, Castle square, to the 
point of beginning. 

Sheet No. 2 is a map of the prescribed district as a whole, 
in which the wires go underground before 1900. It also 
shows the district for 1894, and the district for 1895. 

One of the problems connected with the underground 
service has been the disposal of the wires of the smaller 
companies, such us the Messenger, Burglar Alarm, and Aux- 
iliary Fire Alarm companies, etc. A plan has been prepared 
by the Wire Department which accomplishes the desired 
end at the minimum of expense. It is the intention to allow 
them certain, exemptions under Chapter 454 of the Acts of 
1894, for overhead wires, provided a commencement is 
made of using underground ducts. Such exemptions will 
consist of permits to run a few wires temporarily over 
narrow streets which are not main thoroughfares. In cases 
of extreme emergency, more liberal permits will be allowed. 
In the district for 1895, seven of the small companies have 
agreed to place their wires underground, in accordance with 
this plan. 

I have watched the progress of underground work in other 
cities under their boards of electrical control for purposes 
of comparison. The difficulties met with in Boston would 


' 


28 Crry DocumMENT No. 40. 


have warranted our falling behind the progress they have 
made. The contrary is the fact. The work of the Wire 
Department of Boston will bear more than favorable com- 
parison with that accomplished elsewhere. The hearty 
codperation of the companies and individuals affected by 
the law has been a potent factor in bringing about this 
result. 

Some idea of the condition of Boston electrically can be 
formed from the following statement. It covers the electric 
plants of seven large companies, some small ones, and a few 
individuals : 

The total number of electric lights in use is 226,251; 
219,653 of these are incandescent, and 6,598 are arc lamps. 

In the seven large companies the number of motors in use 
is 4,036 

The total electrical horse- power employed daily for electric 
lighting and power purposes is 27,889, requiring for its 
generation 38,799 mechanical horse-power. 

The maximum capacity of 8-power stations is 42,010 
mechanical horse-power, capable of farnishing 30,660 elec- 
trical horse-power. 


; 


SuBWAYS. 


There are in the city 1,999,523 feet of underground duct, 
of which 740,911 feet are for electric light and. power ser- 
vice, 1,252,076 feet for telephone and telegraph circuits, and 
6,536 feet for signalling and miscellaneous purposes. 

The number of feet of cable already in these ducts is 
1,450,544. 

The amount of this cable employed for telephone and tele- 
graph purposes approximates 566,000 feet, containing about 
70,000,000 feet of wire. 

The power and lighting cables are over 855,000 feet in 
length. 

For miscellaneous electrical service 1,222,620 feet of 
underground wire are employed. 

The miles of overhead wire in the city have not yet been 
determined, except in the districts surveyed by this depart- 
ment. 

Taking these as a basis for estimations the amount would 
be hundreds of thousands of miles. (See Appendix C.) 

The above facts would appear to prove the claim that, in 
proportion to its population, Boston is one of the great 
electric centres. Enormous as is the electric energy used, 
the growth has been mainly within the last few years. The 
advances have been in vast strides. In almost immediate suc- 


Wire DEPARTMENT. 29 


cession have the forces of electricity been born. The uses to 
which it has been applied are well-nigh unlimited. The 
transmission of sound, light, power, and heat, which rank 
the highest among the children of man’s inventive genius, are 
but the first steps. 

What may be the future development of electricity no man 
knoweth. We can picture in our minds ideas of what is 
to come that appear like the impossible, and yet fall far 
short of the reality. Wondrous is what has been accom- 
plished, yet men say that we are but upon the threshold of 
still greater discoveries coming from this almost unknown 
and unseen power. Like all forces that serve man, it must 
be bridled, lest it become the master. The problem of 
finding the proper methods to rob electricity of its dangers 
rests upon the Wire Department. It is a difficult task, 
and results alone will show whether that task has been 
accomplished. 

Respectfully submitted, 


JOHN R. Murpuy, 
Commissioner of Wires.

LIST OF THE FIRES AND ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY ELEC- 
TRICITY FROM AUGUST 4, 1894, TO FEBRUARY 1, 1895. 


ACCIDENTS. 


August 11. 27 State street. A current entered this building, 
melting water and ventilator pipes. The building was flooded 
with water. Cause, contact of metal guy cable, which rested 
against metal-covered roof with the wires of the electric street rail- 
way company. 

October 4. Corner of Congress and Channing streets. Ac- 
cident on an electric lamp-post, which resulted in the deaths of C. 
E. Day and A. J. Munroe, employees of an electric light company. 

C. E. Day was killed by a shock of electricity while attempting 
to trim a street are light without throwing the switch. The cir- 
cuit of which this arc light is a portion, is supposed to be entirely 
free from electricity during the day. About half a mile from the 
scene of the accident, however, it was crossed with a high-tension 
circuit, from which it derived the current of electricity which 
caused the death of Mr. Day. 

A. J. Munroe, while striving to remove Mr. Day from the pole 
received a shock which caused him to fall to the sidewalk, fractur- 
ing his skull and causing his death. 

October 138. 109-117 Broad street. Ladderman Lanergan 
received severe burns and was knocked from a ladder by a current 
from wires of the street railway company. ‘The fire axe which 
Mr. Lanergan had attached to his belt at the time of the accident 
was badly melted in two places, as was also the guy wire or iron 
to the aerial ladder. 

October 27. ‘Tremont street, near Historical Building. Per- 
sonal injury caused by banging wire. 

November 6. Corner Charles and Cambr idge streets. Horse 
killed by coming in contact with live wire. Low- -potential wire 
crossed by high-potential wire. 

November 6. Corner Cambridge and Lynde streets. Horse 
killed by coming in contact with “live wire. Low-potential wire 
crossed by high-potential wire. 

November 6. Corner Church and Providence streets. Horse 
killed by coming in contact with live wire. Low-potential wire 
crossed by high- potential wire. 

November 6. Corner Church and Providence streets. Horse 
knocked to the ground by coming in contact with live wire. Low- 
potential wire crossed by high-potential wire. 


32 Crry Document No. 40. 


November 7. Congress street, opposite Exchange place. A. 
T. Hilton was killed by a fall from a pole on which he was at 
work, resulting from an electric shock. 

November 16. R.H. White & Co., 518 Washington street. A 
man’s index finger of left and back of right hand burned by con- 
tact with an arc-light circuit. 

December 22. Albany street, near Lehigh street. Explosion 
in manhole. Cause unknown. Probably ignition of gas from a 
leaky main. 

December 25. Corner of Washington and Williams streets. 
Trouble on street lamp. Cause, insulating block had burned 
away and left the wires grounded on the hood of the lamp. 

January 11. 3887 ‘Tremont street. Brass rail charged with 
electricity, by contact with high-potential wire. 

January 17. Corner Franklin and Hawley streets. Pole sup- 
porting trolley wire charged with electricity. Cause, leakage of 
current through defective insulators. 

January 26. Cambridge street, opposite Anderson. Arec-light 
trimmer received a slight shock while on pole. 


FIRES. 


September 16. Engine 9’s house, East Boston. Caused by a 
‘* cross ” between a fire-alarm wire and a high-potential wire. 

September 21. R. H. Macurdy, 26 ‘Temple place. Caused by 
carbon dust collecting on top of an arc lamp, and causing a short 
circuit. Still alarm. 

September 22. Jobn Hancock Building, 178 Devonshire street. 
Burn-out of an electric service in the basement. 

September 25. Butts & Ordway, 500 Atlantic avenue. Caused 
by defective starting-box. | 

October 2. 27 State street. Cause, contact between guy 
cable and trolley wire; trolley wheel of a passing car jumping off— 
the trolley wire and allowing the trolley arm to fly up and form a 
connection between the trolley wire and guy cable, said guy cable 
being in contact with metal covering of roof. The result was not 
only the melting of the pipes on the inside of the building, but 
also a slight fire on the roof of the building, for which an alarm 
from Box 36 was given. 

October 3. Wm. Miller, 859 Washington street. Caused by 
defective arc-light cut-out. Alarm from Box 67. 

October 6. Mechanics’ Fair Building, Huntington avenue. 
Caused by a short circuit in a lamp socket on a circuit which was 
fed from an improperly fused cut-out. Alarm from Box 92. 

October 17. Near Jamaica Plain station. Pole fire. Cause, 
fire-alarm wires and electric-light wires crossed. 

October 22. Fire occurred in the Edison underground set of 
electric feeders running through Boylston street. Considerable 
excitement and inconvenience was occasioned, but no damage to 
person or property other than the property of the electric light 
company owning the feeders. 

October 21. Rutherford avenue, Charlestown. Wires on fire; 


APPENDIX, 33 


caused by cross between wires of the New England Telephone & 
Telegraph Company, West End Street Railway Company, and 
Charlestown Gas Company. Alarm from Box 459. 

November 5. Centre street, opposite Gardiner street. Tee on 
fire; caused by arc-light wire grounded on tree. Still alarm. 

November 6. 22 Hanover street. Caused by defective switch. 

November 6. Police Station 38. Instruments burned out by 
electric current which entered building. Cause, signal wires 
crossed by high-potential wires. 

November 11. F. W. Tatro, 149 Court street. Cause, 
grounded 500-volt motor circuit. Still alarin. 

November 14. Park Square Station, N. Y.,N. H., & H. R.R. 
Cause, high-tension current entering building on low-tension cir- 
cuit. Still alarm. 

November 15. Boylston street, near Charles street. Burn-out 
in an electric underground feeder. 

November 16. Grand Dime Museum. Cause, defective series 
incandescent lamp socket. 

November 20. Harrison avenue. between Oak street and 
Broadway extension. Burn-out of fire-alarm cable. Cause, fire- 
alarm cable grounded at point where burn-out occurred, and fire- 
alarm circuit crossed with high-tension wire. 

November 24. J. H. Norcross, 17 Tremont row. Fire in 
front and rear of store at same time. Cause, pendant cord ground- 
ing in the front part of store on a metal display rod which was in 
metallic connection with a cash-carrier system. One of the sup- 
porting wires of the cash-carrier system ran to a screw-eve in the 
ceiling in the rear part of the store, said screw-eye being grounded 
on a gas-pipe. 

November 27. Western Union Telegraph Company, 109 State 
street. Cause, cross between telegraph wire and electric-light 
wire. Alarm from Box 16. 

November 28. Plymouth Rock Pants Company, 249 Washing- 
ton street. Cause, arc forming between opposite poles of a set of 
wires the insulation of which had deteriorated from the effects of 
water. Alarm from Box 36. 

December 2. Benjamin Anthony’s machine-shop, Ruggles 
street. Fire on roof, caused by cross between primary alternat- 
ing circuit and telephone circuit. Still alarm. 

December 10. S. Ward & Co., 49 Franklin street. Cause, 
excessive current on an electric-light circuit, causing series incan- 
descent lamp to burst and start fire in show window. 

December 10. Spring Lane Furnishing Company, 265 Wash- 
ington street. Cause, grounding of a high-tension circuit. 

December 10. William Minot, owner, 70 and 72 Pear! street. 
Cause, the formation of an are between a gas-pipe and steam- 
pipe, due to a sneak current, the source of which is unknown, but 
probably entered from underground. ‘The circumstances are as 
follows: This sneak current formed an arc between a gas-pipe and 
an asbestos-covered, canvas-jacketed steam-pipe, heating the as- 
bestos red hot and setting fire to the canvas jacket. Fortunately 
the engineer of the building discovered the fire just as he was 


34 Crry Document No. 40. 


about to leave the building for the night, and he extinguished it 
with a couple of pails of water, then separated the pipes and 
thoroughly insulated them at the point where the trouble occurred. 
The following morning on opening the building it was found to be 
full of gas, and, upon making an investigation, it was found that 
the soldered connection where the meter was connected with the 
service-pipe was melted off by the sneak current. 

December 11. Horticutural Hall, 100 Tremont street. Cause, 
short circuit on flexible cord. Still alarm. 

December 12. Corner Washington street and Indiana place. 
Pole fire, caused by cross between electric-light wires and tele- 
phone wire. 

December 12. Everett avenue, near Dudley street. Trees on 
fire, caused by grounding wires.

with trolleey wire. — 

December 22. H. Patridge & Co., 55 Hanover street. Cause, 
defective arc-light cut-out box. 

December 27. Larabee & Co., 501 Washington street. Cause, 
grounded arc-light circuit. Still alarm. 

December 30. Everett Press Company, 43-5-7 Franklin street. 
Probably caused by sneak current entering building on venti- 
lator-pipe, and forming arc between it and water-pipe. Damage 
heavy. 

January 6. 56 Elm street. Fire on roof. Cause, the breaking 
of alive high-tention wire which fell and came in contact with 
edge of roof. Still alarm. 

January 7. Centre street, front of Engine 14’s house. Trees 
on fire. Cause, grounded electric-light wire. 

January 7. Corner Harrison avenue and Dover street. Pole 
fire. Cause, cross between electric-light wire and guy wire toa 
pole, the latter being in contact with a long distance telephone 
wire. ‘This fire and the cause of the fire were separated by a dis- 
tance of over two miles. 

January 7. . Corner Roxbury and Kent streets. Pole fire. 
Cause, same as pole fire of same date above. 

January 12. Clark’s Hotel, 577 Washington street. Cause,
