Soon after taking charge of the sewers I was surprised to find the disregard its welfare had fallen to. It was plainly planned by Engineer Bowditch and the plans had been accepted by the city, and what was necessary to protect every individual who should connect their residence with them had been done away with, namely, the stand pipe and grease traps, both of which I consider the most es- sential features for the system. In my experience without the grease traps the owners with four inch pipe connections will be obliged to take up and re- lay in from four to six years. The stand pipe is the true protection and manner of ventilation to the owner under this system of sewerage. Any devia- tion is wrong. Every tide the main intersecting sewer is filled with water up to Fair street and ex- tends in part to Winter street and forces all gases to the higher parts of the system; the stand pipe re-

moves it to a safe distance, and being lighter than air generates no harm. By drilling holes in man- hole covers and placing dust pans under the same does not ventilate the sewers, and if it did even it is not right to discharge the diseased gases from the sewers at the surface. The system was never in- tended for pierced manhole covers. The main inter- secting sewer from Boardman street to Broad street is unfit for use and holds whatever heavy sewerage matter is discharged into it, and unless forced to op- erate by large volume of water from hydrant often becomes a menace to public health. The same con- ditions exist from city railroad to Marlboro street. The balance of the system is in fairly good opera- tion.
I have recovered twenty-eight (28) manholes that were out of sight at a cost of $84.17, as is re- corded in construction statement. The new location books ordered are being drafted and made dupli- cates of the old ones and as soon as finished will be placed where you direct for safe keeping, namely, with the city clerk.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JONATHAN W. DOUGLASS, Supt. Sewers.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
FOR THE YEAR 1895
REPORT
NEWBURYPORT, Dec. 1, 1895.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Committee on Highways :
GENTLEMEN :- You are well aware of the out- cry in regard to the expenditure or overdraft in this department, of which I am your representative, -a state of affairs which could not have been oth- erwise when you look at the appropriation and the amount of work that has been done ; and in fact will be a lasting benefit to the highways in the years to come-places that should have received the attention in former years, as they were quite necessary for the betterment of the localities in which the work was performed. Then coupled with what has been done, which will speak for it- self, the winter months of 1895 were very severe in snow storms, and required much expense in that de- partment that has the care and removal of the same.
In conclusion of my comment and remarks to your honorable body I wish to return to His Honor
31S
ANNUAL REPORTS
the mayor and the members of the highway com- mittee, city clerk, and all others who in the per- formance of their official duties I have been brought in contact with, my sincere thanks for the encourage- ment and the appreciation I have received at your hands. Trusting that my acts have merited your commendation, yours with respect,
CHARLES M. PRITCHARD,
Surveyor of Highways.
TO THE VOTERS AT LARGE.
I have placed the total expense where certain jobs in this de partment have taken place, where all can be seen from the compi- lation of the city expenses how, where and in what manner the . public money has been spent.
There is no specified account of the cleaning of gutters in the summer to keep the culverts clear, likewise in the winter to keep from overflowing sidewalks and thereby filling cellars.
The outlying districts have their share of attention and are in fair condition. The road machine does effective work and helps out in a certain degree the additional expense of hauling gravel where the distances are long and material to be obtained of a bet- ter quality quite difficult to obtain.
The sanding of sidewalks is quite an item, from the landing of the sand until it is gathered in the spring from the gutters. It is money paid in the same line as snow.
The clearing of gutters and removal of collections of ice upon sidewalks has actually become necessary from the frequency of the general public to blame the municipality for whatever hap- pens, when in the majority of cases that have come under my ob- servation the person was most at fault. I see no help for the mat- ter as this state of affairs now exists.

This is the sixth year of the use of road roller, and it is quite remarkable that it should run so long without requiring some extensive repairs, but would advise the purchase of new wheels to be in readiness if there should be any accident, and that is the point we are looking at this time to be remedied. They cannot wear a great deal longer, and a heavy jar might break them. It
