ANNUAL REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS, SEWERS AND PARKS
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to submit the following report of operations and expenditures of the departments of highways, sewers and parks, during the municipal year . of 1908.
HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE
This department has been conducted as economically as existing conditions would allow. In addition to the regular expenses, No. 3's single cart has had new rear wheels and ax- les; No. 2's single cart has had new perches put in and No. 3's double cart has had new rear tires. There have been sev- eral new parts bought for harnesses, such as collars, reins, etc. All of the harnesses, with the exception of the one on No. 3's double team, have been in use for 10 to 20 years and are in poor condition.
I would recommend the purchase of one double and one single harness during the coming year. This would allow a spare harness for use when the old ones need oiling or repair- ing.
I would also recommend that all of the carts be painted during the winter and that provisions be made for the paint-
179
180
ANNUAL REPORTS
ing of all the sleds during next summer. This would pre- serve the same and reduce the expense of maintenance.
I would recommend that a shed be erected for the storage of the property of the highway department when not in use, such as carts, sleds, road machine, sweeper, etc., and that it be built large enough to store culvert pipe and brick, also the sand for use in winter.
At the present time the city is paying $25 a year for a shed to store only the carts and sleds. The brick, pipe, etc., are kept in the open pit and enough is broken and stolen in five years to pay for the expense of building a shed.
The prices of hay and grain have been exceedingly high throughout the year.
No. 2's engine horses have been sold and as yet no new ones have been purchased to replace them.
A new horse should be purchased for No. 3's hose carriage. I believe it is more economical to sell the horses as soon as they begin to show signs of unfitness for service rather than wait until they are practically useless. By selling at the for- mer time a price could be realized for them nearly sufficient to purchase new ones to fi !! their places.
I would recommend that the stable supplies be bought in bulk such as brooms, grease, harness soap, etc. This would save a few dollars each month.
I would also recommend that the horses be shod at places as near their respective engine houses as is feasible.
NEW WORK AND REPAIRS
There has been more new macadam work done during the past year than for several years. On Curzon Mill road 1200 feet; on Merrimac street from Butler to Woodland street, 450 feet; on High street, from Woodland to Chapel, with tarvia, 675 feet ; total, 2325 feet.
181
HIGHWAYS, SEWERS AND PARKS
The following streets have been rebuilt with gravel :
Merrill street, the whole length, with new paved gutter on lower side; Franklin street, from Water street to Purchase street; Carter street, 100 feet; Court street, the whole length; Unicorn street, 150 feet; Olive street, from Washington street to Russia street; Charles street, the whole length North Atkinson street, 150 feet; Vernon street, 100 feet; Pond street, from Greenleaf street to Hill street; Dalton street, the whole length; Brown street, 100 feet; Parsons street, the whole length; Marlboro street, from Hancock street to High street; South Pond street, the whole length; Thread Needle alley; Neptune street, the whole length: Hancock street, 100 feet; Curzon Mill road, 1500 feet; Bartlett court, 100 feet.
Five new cement clossings have been laid as follows :
On Pleasant street, at the head of Inn street.
Across Merrimac street, at the foot of Broad street.
At the junction of Brown street and State street.
Across Water street, at Charles street.
At the junction of Middle street and State street.
A stone crossing has been laid at the junction of Ocean and Warren streets.
The crossing at the foot of Merrill street has been regraded as has also the one at the foot of Hale's court.
There are many slab crossings in the city that are posi- tively a nuisance. They do not perform the duty for which they were intended, but make a place for water and mud to collect because they are lower than the grade of the street. They are likewise a continual annoyance to teams and carri- ages. I believe it would be an appreciated improvement if these crossings could be removed and be replaced by new ones, even though they be built of cheap meterial, until it should be deemed wise to build cement ones.
A new road roller is a necessity as the old one was con- demned by the state inspector of boilers and is beyond repair.
I would recommend that a road roller be purchased im-
182
ANNUAL REPORTS
mediately to be delivered by May 1, and that the amount of $3000 be appropriated for that purpose.
The following streets should be repaired or rebuilt :
Inn street; Market street between Pleasant and Merrimac streets; Pleasant street between Market and Titcomb streets; High street between State and Winter streets; Atwood street; Merrimac street from Woodland to Broad streets; Kent street; Broad street; Oakland street; Merrimac street from Break o' Day Hill to Chain Bridge.
I would suggest that the state be requested to make the Moseley avenue a state highway.
There has been a special effort made during the past year to keep the streets clean, but without the support and co-op- eration of the general public, this cannot be properly done. It seems to be the custom of some persons to use the streets as a place for refuse. The ordinances relating to streets should be rigidly enforced.
More care should be taken in the sprinkling of streets so that too much water will not be applied to the macadam roads, as water and mud are the most destructive elements to such roads.
I believe it would be a great improvement to do away with the double track on Merrimac street. This could be avoided by having the electric cars go up State street, through Pleas- ant street to Market, thence down Market street to Merrimac street, or follow the line up Titcomb street through Wash- ington street to the depot, thence down Winter street. This matter could be taken up fith the street railway company and some better arrangements made than are in practise at the present time.
In a few years the city will be in need of a new gravel pit. I would suggest that the city government take such steps to locate and purchase such a pit.
183
HIGHWAYS, SEWERS AND PARKS
ASHES AND RUBBISH
There should be sume rules and regulations made to gov- ern this department. These should be printed and placed in the hands of each household.
The question of a new dumping ground will soon be of se- rious moment.
Three thousand two hundred and twenty-seven loads of ashes and rubbish and 397 loads of paper have been handled during the year.
SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES
The appropriation for this department is inadequate for its needs. There was a special appropriation of $800 made for the sidewalk on State street. This walk was laid of vitri- fied brick on a cement foundation and is the most economi- cal walk for a place where there is so much travel.
The coming year this walk should be extended on Pleasant street, to Inn and down State street to the Market.
The following walks have been built:
Brick sidewalk with concrete foundation-State street.
Brick sidewalk-Parsons street, 59 feet.
Cement sidewalk-Hale's court, 120 feet; Lime street, 30 feet. Concrete sidewalk-Harris street, 37 yards; Horton street, 36 yards.
Gravel sidewalk-150 feet on High street; Oakland street, both sides from Merrimac to Monroe street; Tyng street, lower side, 1000 feet; Broad street, 200 feet; Walnut street, 50 feet; Jack- son street, from Collins street to Woodland street; Woodland street, from Dexter street to High street; Johnson street, 900 feet; Merrill street, both sides, whole length; Russia street, Merrill street to Kent street; Kent street, Merrimac street to Congress street; Olive street, Merrimac street to Washington street, lower side; Olive street, Merrimac street to Plum street, upper side; Vernon street, both sides, whole length; Dove street, 400 feet;
184
ANNUAL REPORTS
Warren street, Merrimac street to Monroe street; Strong street, upper side, 500 feet; Atkinson street, lower side, whole length; North Atkinson street, 300 feet.
Cinder sidewalk with gravel top-Harrison street, both sides; Madison street, from Hancock street to Purchase street; Beacon avenue, 1200 feet; Oak street, 100 feet; Toppan lane, 600 feet; Collins street, whole length; Carter street, 100 feet; Warren street, from Monroe street to Ocean street; Broad street, 100 feet; Moseley avenue, 1000 feet; Eagle street, 300 feet; Barton street, 100 feet.
Crushed stone-150 feet, Carter street; 300 feet, Bromfield street.
A great many improvements could be made in this depart- ment to reduce its expenses and increase the beauty of the streets. The most noticeable of these could be made on streets where the sidewalks are very wide and there are rows of trees along the edgestones. The brick btween the trees could be re- moved and grass plots or parking be laid in their places. This would beautify the streets and be of benefit to the trees. There would be sufficient brick obtained from this source to do all the brick repair work of the city, as nine-tenths of the brick are hardly worn at all.
It seems reasonable to expect that the abuttors would be willing to keep the grass cut in front of their respective homes.
At this time I would suggest that cement concrete be used for edgestones and sidewalks wherever possible, also that this department do its own concreting.
BRIDGES AND CULVERTS.
The importance of this department is not half realized as nearly all of the work is under ground. There is consider- able money wasted each year by extending culverts into the
185
HIGHWAYS, SEWERS AND PARKS
docks. Since there is no general plan of a culvert system, outlets have been put in promiscuously, which means some unnecessary expense.
There should be a plan drawn and all culverts laid to con- form to that plan.
Fifteen hundred dollars should be appropriated each year over and above the regular appropriation for subdraining the streets, beginning on State street.
The following culverts have been laid during the year :
