Notwithstanding that an inspector was employed to take charge of the work, as in previous years, it was not nearly so well done as previously, the contractor claiming that the number of carts furnished him was insufficient to properly do the work, and many complaints were received.
To obviate this difficulty the coming season, the contract will be changed so as to require the contractor to furnish additional carts if necessary. This no doubt will materially

increase the cost of the work; but where the abutters are assessed for the entire cost, every reasonable means should be taken to have it done satisfactorily.
On the line of the streets sprinkled are situated 1,455 estates, on which assessments amounting to $4,060.07 were levied and certified to the Assessors as follows:

PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
Under this head is grouped all work and expenditures by the department on the public property of the city not in- cluded in the other divisions.
City Hall.
This building has had the usual care and minor repairs, and also two rooms have been furnished with new steel ceilings.
For the purpose of better ventilation, the Aldermanic Chamber has been supplied with an electric fan connected with a direct fresh air inlet and outlet, in such a manner that the fresh air is passed over a radiator and discharged at the top of the room and drawn by the fan through a regis- ter in the floor and forced outside, in accordance with Order No. 2188, passed by the Board of Aldermen, June 15, 1903, at an expense of $325.00.

ENGINEERING DIVISION.
Good results from the work done by this important branch of the department show more and more each year, and there is no expenditure from which the city receives larger or more lasting benefits. Every effort has been made to do all the work well and systematically, and at the same time economically.
That the work is economically done is clearly shown by the comparison of the money expended and the cost of engineering, supervision and inspection. The total of all money expended by the Public Works Department is $141, 564.05, while the cost of engineering, etc., is only $2,435.56, or about 1.7 per cent., which is not only unusually, but ex- tremely low, as all engineers, in estimating the cost of public work, allow from 10 to 15 per cent.
A summary of the work done by this branch of the de- partment follows:
Street Numbering.
21 doors re-numbered.
40 new numbers added. Total numbers used-150.
