Sewer Maintenance.
This work consists principally in scraping and flushing the sewers, and is usually done during the winter months ; but owing to the unusual quantity of snow, it is now unfin- ished, which accounts for the unexpended balance.

HIGHWAY DIVISION.
Notwithstanding that the appropriation for the past year was $4,300 less than for 1902, we have expended $849.53 more on macadamizing, which shows that we are beginning to reap the benefit from money expended the past few years in the improvement of gutters and drainage, showing con- clusively that the general condition of the highways is im- proving.
Following is a detail of receipts and expenditures and a detail of the subdivisions of the work done, viz .: general repairs, removal of snow, brown tail and gypsy moths, gen- eral maintenance, minor repairs, macadamizing, paving gut- ters and granite crossings.

Although two new horses were purchased, the number of teams has not been increased, as one of these was to take the place of a horse that died in the Malden veterinary hos- pital, and the other to take the place of one killed on account of a defective hoof. We now have three double and three single teams; most of the horses are young and all are apparently in a healthy condition.
On July 2, 1903, the steam roller, while crossing the tracks of the Boston & Maine Railroad at Emerson street, was struck by a south bound express and badly damaged. No particular damage was done the train or any of the passengers, but David Levy, the engineer on the roller, was injured, and has been disabled ever since.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the rail- road for adjusting the damage done to the roller, and the same is now in the shop of the Lockwood Manufacturing Company undergoing repairs, and will be ready for use as soon as needed in the spring.
To take the place of our roller, one was hired of the City of Woburn and one of the Town of Wakefield, which in- creased the cost of rolling over what it has been in the past.

SURFACE DRAINAGE.
Although this work is just begun in a comprehensive and systematic manner, its results are noticeable in the decreas- ed amount of temporary repairs to the highways.
Drains have been constructed the past season in Dell ave- nue, Grove street and Linwood avenue, and in Otis street, all of which proved satisfactory and accomplished the ob- ject for which they were built, and are greatly appreciated by the residents and those who have occasion to travel on the streets in which they are located.
Most of the drains constructed to date are main or trunk drains, and few laterals have been built ; the result is that while the mains are necessarily needed first, the benefit de- rived from the expenditure of a stated sum is not nearly so great as will be obtained later by the construction of smaller or lateral drains to connect with these mains that we are now building. For instance, the Otis street drain is 1733 feet long and is provided with 13 catch basins, which pro- vide drainage for Otis street from Vinton street to Charles street, a distance of 1209 feet, and cost $10,431.53; whereas had this amount been expended upon lateral drains, as will be possible in the future if we continue the work now started, the cost per catch-basin would probably not have exceeded $300, and consequently a greater number could have been constructed, and benefits derived proportionally.

I would recommend the appropriation of an additional $20,000 early the present year, as the work desired to be done-Elm street, Franklin street, Leonard's drain and Ce- dar park-cannot be completed for the unexpended balance. This latter drain (Cedar park) should be finished, as at the present time there is a 20 inch drain through Cedar park from Vinton street to the Boston & Maine railroad under the railroad location, and in Essex street to Vine street, where it has a temporary outlet into the Essex street drain, which is only 10 inches in diameter, and is none too large to care for the water from Essex street ; and unless this drain (Cedar park) is completed to the brook, that part already constructed, which has cost $1,853.55, will become filled with deposit and be useless, and the amount already ex- pended be practically wasted.
On June 15, 1903, the Board of Aldermen passed Order No. 2217, taking rights in certain private lands belonging to Maria E. White, Mary Finnegan, Seth E. Benson and the Boston Ice Company, as follows:
In Board of Aldermen, June 15, 1903.

White to the westerly side of the location of the Boston & Maine Railroad; thence in same course eighty-three and ninety one hundreths (83.90) feet across location of said Boston & Maine Railroad to land of Seth E.
