Back curbing was placed in South street, because of the laying of new sidewalk, at a cost of $1,320.27. The walls on Payson street and Bond street were partly constructed in 1910, the cost of completing these jobs during the past season being as stated above.
STREET MAINTENANCE.
The largest items of expense in this division are as follows : Hay, grain and straw, $4,036.99 ; administration and office ex- pense, $4,176.14 ; cleaning gutters, $4,409.98 ; care of snow and ice, $2,508.32; collecting ashes, $3,364.84 ; collecting rubbislı, $1,485.32 ; gutter paving in various streets, $1,111.26 ; care of barn, $2,139.56 ; bridge repairs, $2,111.61; cart and sled re- pairs, $721.43 ; blacksmithing and shoeing, $1,024.38 ; cinder-

walks, $1,895.59 ; harnesses and harness repairs, $488.70 ; sanding sidewalks, $334.77; retaining walls, $396.83. These items make a total of $30,205.72, out of a total expenditure of $43,582.87, leaving a balance of $13,377.15 expended directly in improving the wearing surface of about 116 miles of earth roads. Of course some of these items have an indirect bearing on the maintenance of the streets of the city.
SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION.
The season's work under this division has been unusually heavy. More linear feet of new walks being laid than any other year of the past twenty-one, in which records are available for comparison. Over two miles of walks were completed during the past season, 12 per cent being laid with tar concrete and 88 per cent with cement concrete. About 2,000 feet of sidewalks ordered by the City Council have not been constructed. Orders for this work were received so late in the season that it was im- possible to complete it. A beginning was made on some of this work, so that it can be completed early next year.
SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE.
Streets upon which the largest amounts were expended under this division are as follows : Arlington street, $253.04 ; Bluff avenue, $247.98 ; Charles street, $154.82; Cross street, $112.24 ; Day street, $164.26; Hawes street, $100.88; High street, $307.76; Lawrence street, $173.49; Main street, $430.93; Plymouth street, $165.87; Water street, $323.20. With a few exceptions, all repairs to tar sidewalks were made with tar concrete, the work being done by Jeremiah Crowley. On Main street, at A. I. Rome's (Nos. 358-364), and on Oliver street, at B. A. Cook's, the old surfacing of tar concrete was replaced with cement concrete. . In each of these cases the abutter agreed to pay for half the cost of the repairs.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION.
Work under this heading consisted of placing grates in Summer street and Oak Hill road, and catch basins in Daniels street and Oak Hill road. The largest part of the amount ex- pended being in furnishing labor and materials for outside parties.

REPORT OF STREET COMMISSIONERS
SEWER MAINTENANCE.
Your commissioners did the work of maintaining the sewer system until May 1, 1911. This division of our work of past years was transferred to the control of the Sewage Disposal Commissioners upon the above date. The amounts expended by this department are as follows: Cleaning and thawing out catch basins, $875.73 ; flushing sewers, $14.39; miscellaneous, $286.82.
PAVING CONSTRUCTION.
Granite block paving was laid during the past year in Princeton road from Crocker, Burbank & Co.'s "Stone Mill" to Waites corner. This work was a continuation of the section laid in 1910. A distance of 893 feet, and an area of 2,570 square yards was laid the past season, at a cost of $7,156.82, or $2.78 per square yard.
The work of repaving the south side of Main street, which was ordered by the City Council, was delayed until late in the fall, owing to the controversy with the Fitchburg Gas & Elec- tric Light Co., for work done in 1910, between Day street and Oliver street. A satisfactory adjustment was secured finally by your commissioners, after many conferences with the officials of the lighting company. The city secured $4,500 for its claims against the company, on account of work done in laying a 24 inch gas main in Main street between Day street and Circle street. The work of repaving started in September. New blocks were used, the old ones being removed to the Circle street ball grounds, where they are being stored until they can be recut for use in future paving operations. It was deemed advisable to discontinue operations upon this work until spring, after the paving between the tracks was laid to Circle street, and the south side of the street completed to City Hall. This improvement in Main street was a great public necessity. Favorable comments upon the improved surface of this section of the street have been received from many of our citizens who daily have occasion to travel on' this main artery of the streets of our city. A comparison between the south and north sides of this section of Main street will afford an ex- cellent example of the advantages of a good permanent pave- ment over one which has been worn into dangerous depressions

by years of service, and by excavations which are constantly necessary in a growing city. The foundation for this pavement was prepared by screening the sand cushion found under the old paving, as far as possible; new sand being added where necessary to bring the surface to subgrade. James McEleney laid 2,932 square yards and pavers employed by the department laid 1,258 square yards. The cost of this work was $9,443.83. "The joints were grouted with cement mortar.
PAVING MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning granite block paving, largely by patrol, with broom and shovel, cost $7,752.61. Repairs to block paving in Fairmount street were continued during the year at a cost of :$197.25. The streets where the largest amounts were expended upon improving the surface of the paving are as follows : Lunen- burg street, $84 97; Main street, $188.65 ; River street, $102.49 ; Water street, $479.90. Paving between Walnut street and Spruce street, on the west side of Water street, was relaid. It will be necessary to repave the east side between the Union Machine Shop and Third street during the coming year. The balance expended under this division was occasioned by work done by outside parties, mostly for the Fitchburg and Leomins- ter Street Railway Co., in repaving the car track on Water street, between Fourth street and Burnett Passway, which was occasioned by the replacement of the old Tee rails with the girder type. This was a much needed improvement in this section, as it was impossible to keep the paving in safe condition with the Tee type of rail. The remainder of the work was done for the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Co., on account of their operations in various paved streets. In keeping the paved streets clear and free from the troublesome dust nuisance the Connolly Flushing Machine, which was purchased during the year proved to be a valuable asset to the department's equip- ment. Many expressions of recommendation for the work done by this machine have been received from the merchants doing ; business on Main street.

REPORT OF STREET COMMISSIONERS
MACADAM CONSTRUCTION.
New macadam pavement was laid the past season in Ash- burnham street, from Westminster Hill road, to the junction of River and Westminster streets. An area of 6,192 sq. yds. was laid at a cost of $4,862 49, or about $.78 per square yard. A bituminous binder was used on this work. Work was started on preparing the subgrade for the macadam ordered in Cedar street. This work will be completed next season1.
MACADAM MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the surface of macadam streets cost $1,765.47. The largest amounts expended for repairs on different streets. were as follows: Circle street, $165.80; Day street, $121.11 ; Main street, $139.99; Myrtle avenue, $228.51; River street, $1,264.82; Water street, $5,856.03; Westminster street,
$3,266.90. A bituminous binder was used in the work of resurfacing done on Water and Westminster streets. The work on River street was water bonded. This form of construction was deemed economical at this time as a temporary expedient to keep a good wearing surface on this section of the street. Because of the extremely heavy travel at this point, we are of the opinion that granite block paving must be used to replace the macadam when the section of the trunk sewer to be laid in this location is completed. The areas of macadam paving laid in the principal maintenance work of the past year are as follows :
Water street,
8,493 square yards
River street, 4,265 square yards
Westminster street, 4,746 square yards
It will be advisable to resurface sections on Water street, between Duck Mill road and Bemis road, and on Westminster street, between Beoli Mill and Steamer House, during the coming year, as these locations have become badly rutted by heavy traffic conditions.
254
REPORT OF STREET COMMISSIONERS
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We would renew our recommendation of last year that granite block paving be laid in Summer street, between St. Bernard street and a point near Clyde street.
We would recommend that the following granite block paving work be done: The north side of Main street. be re- paved between Oliver street and Circle street, doing substantially the same class of work that was done on the south side this past season ; Daniels street, between Columbus street and Pratt street ; Circle street, from Main street to River street. Because of the narrowness of this street it is impossible to maintain a satisfactory surface economically, for the heavy teaming traffic, with other material except granite blocks. Princeton road, from present terminus to coal trestle, a distance of 300 feet ; Putnam street, from Main street to Broad street.
We would renew our recommendations of last year that the following streets be macadamized: Walton street from Pine street southerly towards Forest Hill cemetery ; Oliver, Fox, Hartwell and Grove streets from Elm street to Prichard street ; Willow street from Main street to Green street; Sanborn street from Westminster street to Temple street, and North street from Pearl street to Rindge road.
We would recommend that macadam pavement be laid in the following streets : Summer street between Clyde street and the Lunenburg town line ; Columbus street, from Daniels street to Oak Hill road; Blossom street from Pearl street to Ross street ; and Bemis road from Water street to Summer street.
We desire to call your attention again to the need of a new location for a stable and storage room for the department. A location with steam railroad connection is necessary. At present a considerable amount is expended in hauling supplies, each year, which might be saved if a satisfactory railroad location was secured.
