MISCELLANEOUS WORK. GREEN STREET WIDENING.
A number of the citizens having petitioned the County Commissioners to 'widen and re-locate Green street at the corner of Main street, the County Commissioners issued a decree ordering the same done. This improvement as peti- tioned for, and as ordered by the County Commissioners, necessitated the cutting off or the removal of the so-called Wiley's Block; this block had already been cut off the pre- vious year in order to carry out the decree of the County Commissoners ordering Main street widened, and a suit for

damages on this account was pending. A conference was had between the representative of the Boston & Northern Street Railway Company (who were interested inasmuch as they were under agreement to reimburse Melrose for any sums that might be recovered on account of this suit), the City Solicitor and the Engineer and Superintendent of Pub- lic Works, and the matter was finally adjusted by the pay- ment to Wiley of a sum agreed upon by the Railway Com- pany as the amount which they would bear plus the award of the County Commissioners, together with the amount estimated necessary to cut off the building, the whole amount of which was $8,750.00, divided as follows:
On account of widening Main St. $4,000.00
On account of widening Green St. 3,750.00
Allow for cutting off or removing building, build-
ing retaining wall, etc. 1,000.00
$8,750.00
The cellar has been filled in roughly, and there now re- mains to be done the work of macadamizing the street, set- ting the curbing and extending the crossings; for doing this work the unexpended balance, $1,028.57, from the ap- propriation of $6,000.00, as shown below, is estimated to be ample.

RETAINING WALL ELL POND.
There was appropriated the sum of $2,000.00 for the pur- pose of rebuilding the retaining wall along the shore of Ell Pond adjoining Main street. When this appropriation was made it was contemplated to drain the present brook north along the retaining wall and to provide for a series of over- flows into the same, so as to maintain a uniform elevation of the water in the pond.
This work was not done the past season, as other orders passed by the Board of Aldermen deemed of more impor- tance were completed first, and as there was an objection to letting work by contract and also to the employment of outside labor, it was impossible to perform all of the work ordered, and there now remains to the credit of this appro- priation the sum of $1,968.49, $31.51 having been expended for materials such as stone and filling, which are now on the site of the work. This work should be done at an early date in the spring as the condition of the wall is dangerous and accidents are liable to occur.

PUBLIC WORKS S DEPARTMENT
:
for this expenditure ($80,000.00) together with the tempor- ary loan of $10,000.00 authorized, the city has drains and appurtenances which have cost $107,760.54; the difference between the cost of the drains and the amount of money appropriated is accounted for by the fact that a small portion of the system when started was paid for out of the regular appropriation for highway maintenance and by collections from parties directly benefited, namely: Boston & Northern Street Railway Company, and the Boston & Maine Railroad Corporation certain sums on account of catch-basins in the tracks of the Street Railway Company and on account of culverts, etc., under the location and in premises owned by the Boston & Maine Railroad. I would recommend that the work be continued, and the streets in which I particularly recommend drains to be laid are shown on the accompanying table.
