The bid of Philip S. Keating was accepted, and he signed a contract and gave a bond of $1,000 for the faithful perform- ance of the same. By the terms of this contract the city paid for each 1,000 linear feet of street sprinkled during the month of

In order to give to the citizens the very best service pos- sible, an inspector was employed to take charge of the work and to see that the contractor complied with all the terms of his contract. Few complaints were received, and the work was apparently satisfactory to all.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
On the line of the streets sprinkled are situated 1,404 estates, on which assessments amounting to $3,973:72 were levied and certified to the Assessors as follows :
122,821.75 lin. ft. occupied @ 3 cents, $3,684.65
28,299.24 " " vacant " I cent, 283.00

From the foregoing statement it will be seen that the assessments levied do not pay all the expense of doing the work, and this deficiency will increase from year to year as the repair to carts will be greater in the future, and all standpipes should be changed to the improved swing arm standpipes. This would cost about $600.00, but would be economy in the end as the cost of repairs would be less.

STREET LIGHTING.
On February Ist, a new contract was made with the Malden Electric Company for three years; the prices are a little less than the former one, being for arc light $70.00 per annum and for incandescent $15.50 per annum.
We now have 52 arc and 543 incandescent lights, which is an increase of 21 incandescent lights for the year.

COLLECTION OF ASHES AND HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH.

PARKS.
Melrose owns no large park with shrubs, flowers and drives but has a common which has never been graded, and 15 or 20 acres of wild land on the north side of Ell Pond which eventually can be made a very beautiful spot, but needs to be graded or filled in. This work has been started in a small way by cleanings taken from the streets. We also have 9 acres of woody land known as Sewall Woods Park. These, together with several small triangular lots in various parts of the city, constitute the public grounds.

CITY HALL.
Attention was called by the Board of Health to the sani- tary arrangements in the City Hall, stating that they were contrary to the provisions of the public statutes, which require separate toilet-rooms in all public buildings occupied by both sexes. This matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Aldermen, and a request made for an appropri- ation sufficient to divide the closet now occupied by the Board of Aldermen as a coat-room into two small toilet- rooms and to install the necessary plumbing, but the request was not granted. Later the Board of Health called atten- tion to the unsanitary condition of the basement of the City Hall where the public toilet was located. A report of its condition, together with an estimate of the cost of making the necessary changes was submitted to the Board of Alder- men, and they by order No. 1723 appropriated $373.00 for this purpose. The work has been completed at an expense shown below. This provides suitable accommodations for the male occupants only, and some provision should be made for the women, as there are a number of them employed in the building.

CITY OF MELROSE
The appropriation for the contingent expense of this building has never been large enough to meet the demands, and each year there has been a deficiency. This year the account does not show it, as by the special authority from the Board of Aldermen, certain improvements in the base- ment (cementing cellar and renewing water pipes) were made by the regular employees of other divisions of the public works department and from the stock on hand. The entire expense of this work was as follows:
Renewing water pipes:

Notwithstanding the coal famine and the excessive price charged for fuel, I am pleased to report that the appropria- tion for heating was not exceeded and was sufficient, not only to heat the building to February 1, 1903, but there is enough fuel on hand to last the balance of the winter; and we were also able from the supply on hand to lend to the relief committee about 15 tons, which was later returned.
The aggregate of all appropriations amounts to $2,366.00, while the aggregate of all expenditures, exclusive of the

work of renewing water pipes and cementing cellar, was only $2,091.42, showing a balance of $274.58.
ENGINEERING DIVISION.
The work in this division has been of the same general character as in previous years, and is much more than is generally realized.
