IN GENERAL.
I wish to call to your attention, and to the attention of the Board of Aldermen, some things which suggest themselves to me as being worthy of consideration.
First, as to the condition of our streets in connection with the surface drainage ; there has now been expended sixty of the one hundred thousand dollars authorized by the Legislature for this purpose. That this work is now appreciated is evinced by the urgent requests for the extension of the system. But I think, and am positive that upon consideration others will agree, that the streets in which drains are laid should be more or less perma- nently repaired by at least having the corners curbed, gutters. paved where necessary and the street resurfaced either with
258
CITY OF MELROSE.
gravel or macadam, otherwise not only do we fail to receive the full benefit of the drains but the lack of this work is liable to be detrimental to them as the wash from the streets cannot all be caught in the catch basins.
Second, to the sidewalk ordinance; I would suggest that cer- tain changes be made and the entire ordinance be redrawn, particularly that portion which refers to the removal of snow. I would recommend that the Board of Aldermen be asked to pass annually, in the same manner as they do for sprinkling the streets, an order designating the sidewalks from which snow should be removed. I also suggest that the Board of Aldermen, or some committee duly authorized, give hearings to abutters and fix the kind, style, width and grade of sidewalks, so that in the future all walks built on any particular street shall be of the same material and the same general style, looking forward to having at some time in the future all walks on each street uniform. In this connection, would again like to call your attention to my remarks on this subject in my letter to you of January 15, 1905, which are in part as follows: "I am thoroughly convinced that better and more satisfactory results can be obtained by constructing continuous sidewalks on streets than by spending the money in front of individual estates upon the request of the owners. In the former case all work done will necessarily be of the same inaterial, on a uniform grade, width, etc., while to pemit individuals to apply for a walk in front of their particular premises unavoidably tends to the opposite result. In this connection I might call to your atten- tion wherein it seems advisable to mne to have the ordinance pertaining to the construction of sidewalks amended, so that the Board of Alderinen, if in their judgment they should deem it a public convenience and necessity, might order continuous sidewalks without waiting to receive a petition from five or more persons."
Third, to the lines of the highways, and would invite your attention particularly to Florence street (from Wyoming avenue to Russell street), the junction of Summer street, Lynde street and Mystic avenue, Heyward avenue, Lynde street and Green street. The streets are not laid out with a view to
259
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
economy, convenience or beauty, and its repetition should be avoided; the entire territory of the city should be surveyed and the position of the future streets of Melrose determined and fixed.
In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation of the many courtesies extended me by yourself, and your predecessor, Hon. Sidney H. Buttrick, to thank the Board of Aldermen for their consideration, and to commend the faithfulness of the assistants for their ready and hearty co-operation at all times.
Respectfully submitted. W. DABNEY HUNTER, Engineer and Supt. of Public Works.
