Main Street Improvement.
Following the recommendation of His Honor, the Mayor, an order was passed to improve Main street, Malden Line to Porter Street. Since it was necessary, before this work could be done to have new Street Railway tracks and paving, and the electric and telephone wires underground, conferences were held with officials of the Bay State Street Railway Co., Malden Electric Co., and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. They were agreeable to our plans, and the work was carried on rapidly after the necessary locations were granted by the Board of Aldermen.
Surface drains and catch-basins were constructed from Sylvan Street northerly, Grove Street southerly to Lynde Street, and new catch-basins built where necessary from Grove Street to Porter Street. Iron water services were renewed with lead, and new services and drains laid to vacant lots.
When this section of Main Street is lighted by the new system, the Malden Electric Co.'s and the New England Tel. & Tel. Co.'s poles removed, there will be a decided improve- ment in this our main thoroughfare. The Bay State Street Railway Co. laid new rails, and paved with Hassam Granite blocks on concrete foundation, from Porter Street to Wyoming Avenue, and the cobblestone paving from Wyoming Avenue to Malden Line was replaced by granite block paving.
Hassam Compressed Concrete Pavement was laid from Porter Street to Grove Street, by Simpson Brothers Corpora- tion, and part of Lower Main Street constructed with Tal Macadam.
The underground work should be continued to the Wake- field Line, and the street constructed, as the paving in tracks and the street is in very bad condition.
The old material from Main Street was used to construct Rowe Street, Emerson Street northerly, First Street, Gooch Street to Sewall Street, Meridian Street, Rogers Street to Park Street and Cedar Park, Vinton Street westerly.
Granite crossings were removed and used on other streets,
133

and paving blocks in gutters were removed and will be used for paving gutters, and crossings on other streets.
Chester Street, Adams Street to Florence Street; Essex Street, Emerson Street to near Main Street; East Foster Street, Dell Avenue to Lebanon Street; Hurd Street and Strat- ford Road from No. 57 to Porter Street were macadamized and Goss Avenue from Harold Street northerly about 120 feet was constructed with gravel.
TREES.
Through the efforts of the Melrose Woman's Club and the Melrose Highlands Woman's Club, a canvass of the city was made, and orders taken for planting about 200 trees; the abuttor paid for tree, loam and protector, and the city did the planting.
Practically all of the trees lived, and will add to the beauty of our city, as have those planted by the forethought of early public-spirited citizens. If an equal number are planted every year, where most needed, it will be money well expended.
FIRE-CITY STABLE
The Department met with a severe loss June 15, 1913, by fire at the City Stable on Linwood Avenue. However, the work was carried on with little or no delay with hired teams, and the city teams were replaced by new purchases that are a credit to the department.
As the stable was an entire loss, we were obliged to find new quarters, and the Keating stable on Pleasant Street was leased.
Some decided action should be taken relative to the building of a City Stable, as our present location is unsuitable and inadequate for the needs of the department. The City has good horses and faithful drivers and laborers, but is handi- capped by the conditions under which the department is obliged to work.
