The mean relative humidity for the year was 75.9 per cent. This is more than 5 per cent. above normal, and is the highest annual mean on record ; lowest, 68.4 in 1883. The mean of every month, without exception, was above normal, the excess in Jan- uary, April, June, July. August, September and November being unusually great. In each of these latter instances, except April, the monthly mean was the highest for the corresponding month in the whole period of ten years ; and that of September, 84.9 per cent., was the highest on record for any month since the observa- tions were begun in this city. This excessive and unabated damp- ness, lasting through the entire year, made the weather to a noticeable extent uncomfortable, and aided not a little in the gen- eration and spread of disease.
The highest daily mean was on the 6th of January, when total saturation was recorded at every observation, a heavy north- easterly rain storm prevailing all day. The lowest daily mean was

38.7 per cent. on the 22d of April, a clear day, with a high northwest wind. The lowest recorded relative humidity during the year was 20 per. cent., at the 2 p. m. observation, March 14th. In the month of September there was a period of excessive damp- ness lasting thirteen days, when the average was 92.4 per cent. for the whole period, and in November there were five consecutive days, with an average of 94.6 per cent.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
The total amount of precipitation during the year was 52.30 inches. This is 6.56 inches above normal, and the greatest annual total on record, excepting that of 1888, when it reached the abnormal amount of 60.26 inches. Least annual total in ten years, 32.59 inches, in 1880.
Of the above amount of 52.30 inches 49.12 inches was in the form of rain, and only 3.18 inches of melted snow. The depth of the snow, yielding this amount when melted, was 29 inches.
The precipitation was well distributed throughout the year, February, June, July and November being the only months in which the excess or deficiency amounted to more than one inch. February showed the only marked deficiency during the year, when the precipitation was only 50 per cent. of the normal amount. There was a large excess in June, and a very marked excess, amounting to nearly 100 per cent., in both July and November. January, April, May and October showed slight excesses, and March, August, September and December slight deficiencies. The total for February was the smallest, and that of November the largest, for their respective months, in ten years. By far the greatest precipitation in a single day, recorded during the past year, was that of November 28th, when 4.10 inches of rain fell in less than seventeen hours, during the passage of a violent storm from the lakes across northern New England. This is 0.80 inch greater than the greatest 24-hour rainfall previously recorded here in ten years. From the 27th of July to the 3d of August, a period of eight days, rain fell every day, amounting to 3.23 inches, or an average of 0.40 inch per day, while from the 14th of August to the 14th of September the total precipitation was 0.07 inch. During the latter period a surface drought, the only one of the year, existed.
The total depth of snow for the year was 29 inches. This is about 34 inches less than the normal, and is, by nearly 20 inches the smallest amount recorded in the past ten years ; greatest, 98 inches in 1887. The last appreciable snowfall of the spring was on the 2d of April, though a few flakes fell on the 6th, and the first of the autumn was on the 21st of October. The heaviest fall of the season was on the 20th and 21st of January, when 9 inches of snow fell.
229
METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.
There were 18 thunder storms during the year, distributed as follows :
In April, 2; June, 4; July, 4; August, 5; and September, 3. The first one of the season occurred April 20th, and was of much more than the average severity, the lightning striking in several places in and near Newbury ; the last one was on the 21st of Sep- tember. As a rule the storms were above the average for severity, those of April 20th, June 5th, 10th and 28th, July 17th and 30th. and August 1st, 2d and 3d being especially so. The storm of June 28th was accompanied by a high northerly wind, and a vio. lent down-pour of rain, amounting to 1.37 inch in one hour and three quarters ; that of July 30th by a miniature tornado, blowing down one or more good sized trees ; and that of July 17th by the most destructive hail storm in the memory of the oldest inhabi- tant. Hail fell again on the 7th of August.
The whole number of days on which rain or snow fell, in suffi- cient quantity to be measurable, was 133, and the duration of its fall was 991 hours, equal to 41 days, 7 hours.
WIND.
This element of the weather will be considered in two branches, viz. : the movement of the wind, of which continuous automatic records have been kept throughout the year, and its direction, of which tri-daily observations were taken. The wind movement in the tables below is expressed in miles, and the directions are recorded to the four cardinal and the four intermediate points.

_Daily Movement
The total movement of the wind for the year was 41.213 miles. This is about 7000 miles less than normal, and is the least annual movement in seven years ; greatest, 54.490 miles in 1883. The movement of every month was below its correspondinfi normal, the greatest deficiencies occurring in February, May, June, July, August, November and December. The greatest monthly move- ment was 5609 miles in March,-very nearly the normal ; the least was in August, 1539 miles. This was more than 1200 miles less than normal, and the least monthly movement recorded here in seven years. The greatest daily movement was 432 miles on the 6th of January, and the least was 12 miles on the 3d of Septem- ber. The maximum hourly velocity recorded during the year was 44 miles an hour on the morning of December 27th, the only severe gale of the year. There was no other velocity greater than 33 miles an hour. The average daily movement was 113 miles, and the mean hourly velocity 4.7 miles.
High winds, of 30 or more miles per hour, were recorded as follows :

The prevailing wind of the year was west, and the mean direc- tion from all observations was W 1º 36 N, very near the nor- mal. Northwest was the prevailing wind of January, west in Feb- ruary, November and December, northeast in March and Septem- ber, southwest in June, July and August, and north in October, while in April northeast and northwest were of equal prevalence, and in May southwest and west. The mean direction was between west and north during the first three and the last four months of the year, between west and south in May, June, July and August, and between east and north (very much northeast) in April.

to west the winds, in frequency, came southwest, followed in order by northwest, south, northeast, north, east and southeast. The predominance of northeast and north winds in March, September and October was principally due to the frequent occurrence of severe storms moving slowly up the coast, inside of the Gulf Stream, and passing this locality to the seaward.

The number of clear days was considerably smaller than for some years past, while the number of fair days was much larger, and of cloudy days slightly larger, than in recent years. January, February, August and December were the pleasantest months, May and June also yielding much pleasant weather. April and November, on the other hand, were not as pleasant as usual, while March, July, September and October were abnormally unpleasant.
In brief, 1889 was remarkable for its great dampness, its warmth, especially in the open character of its winter months, its freedom from severe general storms, and for its destructive local hail storm of the 17th of July.

REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS.
REPORT.
-
The highway question has become a vital one, and now demands the attention of all.
The old system of road-making and the renewing of the same has had its day, and the general public demand not Milton's broad and ample road, whose dust is gold and pavement stars, but such a road as Macadam or Telford, the authorities of road-making, point out as the cheapest and most durable in the end. They call for paving where heavy teaming is done-allowing that to be the best for all purposes,-the cost of which is not less than $2.25 per square yard ; adding, also, that all companies and persons who remove them, for whatever cause, be required to re-lay them, with the best of material and labor, at their own expense.
Macadam says for driving roads, his plan is to cover with stone to the depth of twelve inches, and roll thoroughly with stone not over two inches square for the outside covering, not allowing them to be molested except at such times when all who contemplate opening are ready to do so at once, at a cost of $2 per square yard.
I have never yet heard a person, during the three years I have held this position, say a word against the paving of the streets, remarking that it would last, and that the city ought to do some every year. This is an expression of my views taken from author- ities on such matters, who make it their business and are well

qualified to treat of the case, and from observation on my own part.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE DURING THE YEAR.
This has been quite a long season, from April 1st, without much interruption, to the date of December 25. The city teams in this line of duty have hauled 10,000 loads of gravel and stone this sea - son, averaging for 173 days 57 loads a day, at a cost of manual labor, 17 3-4 cents per load, independent of the team,-$1.775.00 ; also, laid 1,118 yards of paved gutters, three feet in width, in dif- ferent streets of the city ; also laid 208 feet of crossing stones, necessitating 185 yards of paving in connection.
On Horton street the loam was removed and the street graveled, at a cost of $170.
What was necessary for safety and use on Butler's Court was done, at a cost of $40.
Since the sewerage contract was given out much labor has been done about the city for the contractor, Captain John A. Douglass, which is included in the highway expenses ; but he is to reimburse the city for the amount charged to his account.
The pavers were removed from Merrimac street to convenient localities, to be relaid in the coming spring, at a cost of $48.
Many foot bridges have been broken by teams this year, and they are built and repaired from the highway fund. Amount this year, $85.
In the distribution of gravel this year many roads have been benefitted, and a large tract of sidewalks was renewed.
There are many of the roads on the out-lying districts of New- buryport which demand immediate attention another year. But all the territory that the highway fund is supposed to cover, with the fences, rails and repairs of posts, annually takes from the amount considerable money, which cannot be avoided.
The sand purchased for the winter's use-two cargoes, includ- ing rent-cost the highway department $215.
The crossing stones purchased this year, and not used at the present time, stand to its credit of $140.
In regard to the frequent comments on the condition of the

roads for the present year, and the ready modes that are advo- cated for the repairing of them, any thoughtful or fair-minded person can recall at once the great quantities of rain this year, and the unusually large quantities for the last five years,-nearly 25 feet upon a level ; also the introduction of sewerage, tearing up the streets to a depth that no living person of this generation has ever seen. And it must be added that for some years to come, while the people are entering them, it will be difficult to keep the roads in repair. And until it has been tested the wisest heads are in the dark. The lateness of the season in which parts of the work were done, and the continuance of the same, together with the hurried manner in which certain parts of the work have been done, leaves doubts in many minds that we have not seen what picking has yet to be done.
To the gentlemen comprising the highway committee for the year now brought to a close : I have herein given you a statement of the amount of labor performed, and can simply add that for the outlay you have reason, I trust, in the eyes of your constitu- ents, to warrant your part in the expenditures of the year 1889.

ASHES AND RUBBISH.
In this department the amount weekly collected increases, and, with the additional streets, another year will find the amount of money appropriated pretty snug. From December 1, 1888, to December 1, 1889, 3,125 loads were collected.

EDGESTONES AND SIDEWALKS.
The city has laid the present year 1,132 feet of edgestone, the abuttor paying 34 cents of the cost per foot, amounting to $384.88.
Also relaid 696 feet in various parts of the city, at the cost of 10 cents per foot ; amount, $69.60.
There remains upon the city landing 450 feet to the credit of this year, at 50 cents per foot, amounting to $202.50.
276 feet have been sold to individuals in the city for private use, at 55 cents per foot ; amount, $151.80.
BRICK SIDEWALKS AND CONCRETING.
142 yards of concreting has been done, at an expense to the city of 25 cents per yard : amount, $35.50.
291 yards of brick sidewalk have been relaid, entirely at the city's expense of 30 cents per square yard : amount, $87.30.
Bricks used and paid for by the city for the above work, $40.80.
Repairs to different streets throughout the city amount to $32.28.
Seven hundred and fifty-three yards have been laid in the city this year where the abuttors furnish the bricks, the city finding sand to lay them, clearing the debris, and paying 30 cents per yard for the laying, amounting in the total to 50 cents per square yard , amount, $376.50.
As the city is required to keep all sidewalks in repair at her own expense, I think all incorporated bodies or private individuals who remove them to facilitate their business, should be required in the replacing of them to hire persons who are competent in that line of business ; also, to provide good material for the renewing of the work.

BRIDGES AND CULVERTS.
Although this is an independent department from highways, much devolves upon the surveyor of highways to look after them. It did not appear at the opening of the year that there would be a cause for much outlay ; but with the introduction of sewerage and the interception of culverts the trouble commenced. And as I am prejudiced on the one-outfall system, pardon me if I state here that the theoretical without the practical, to my mind, does not work. And during the time I have held this position I have seen the culvert on the line of the sea wall so packed with stubble and thatch as to take the combined efforts of men with forks to remove the same; compared to a ship with but one hatch, a house with one pair of stairs-not calculated for the exigencies that may nat- urally arise, and, as the saying is, looks well on paper, regardless of cost and future trouble for those who come after.
On the line of the sewers it was necessary to cut apart the cul- verts to allow them heights ; and in quite a number of them it was necessary to make inclined planes for the passage of surface water, while others have been remedied by drain pipe. And as they are brought nearer to the surface, some aların is felt about their freezing during the extreme cold weather, and the collec- tions of slush and snow of the winter months. They will have to be extended before many years, at considerable expense, and it does not look right to have them tampered with. During the year there was an extension to the one at the foot of Marlboro street- 24 feet of stone, at a cost of $25 ; also, the building of a brick
244
ANNUAL REPORTS.
culvert across the premises of Thomas H. Lunt, on Water street, -50 feet ; at a cost of $50. The clearing of the others, almost weekly, on account of the pump along the line of the sewers, has occasioned much outlay.
We also built quite a number of bridges over the streams in the out-lying districts, all of which expenses are charged to this department.
Most of the culverts on the line of Water street and Merrimac street will have to be looked after and repaired another year.
Whatever has been spent during the year that has closed I trust has been judiciously expended for the common good of all citizens whom you represent.
Yours respectfully, C. M. PRITCHARD.
