HIGHWAY DIVISION Pleasant Street
At Pleasant Street and Wyoming Avenue the corners were round- ed and a ten foot widening made on the easterly side of Pleasant Street from Wyoming Avenue southerly to the entrance of Wyoming Station, Boston and Maine Railroad, in accordance with plans sub- mitted by this department. These changes made the intersection of these streets much safer for automobile traffic and the general public.
Edgestones were set on both sides of the street and the roadway macadamized (using Bermudez Asphalt as a binder) from Wyoming Avenue to the angle in the street south of Francis Street.
As this street is one of the main arteries of travel from our City through Malden and via the Fellsway into Medford, Somerville, Boston and the park system south of Boston, I recommend that an appropria- tion be made to continue this work to the Malden line.
This type of pavement is used on the State Roads and Waltham and Watertown have this pavement on the main streets where the traffic conditions are similar to that on our main streets. This pave- ment should prove very satisfactory, requiring no further treatment for a period of five years.
113
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Main Street
From Porter Street to Franklin Square the roadway was repaired and an application of Tarvia B. applied for a binder and dust layer. From Franklin Square to the Wakefield line the surface drainage was completed, new water main laid from Briggs Street to the Wakefield line and a sewer constructed from Heyward Avenue to the Wakefield line, and the necessary connections made to houses and vacant lots.
The roadway was repaired with gravel for temporary repairs that will make it passable until the permanent improvement can be made.
The street railway tracks should be lowered before any smooth pavement is laid, but owing to the present financial condition of the Bay State Street Railway Company there is no prospect that any con- struction work will be done by this Company for some time, and I recommend that the roadway from the tracks to the edgestones be constructed with Bituminous Macadam, similar to the construction of Pleasant Street.
If the whole length from Porter Street to the Wakefield line can- not be done this year the section from Franklin Square to the Wake- field line should at least be done.
Malvern Street
From Lynde Avenue to Potter Street a sewer was constructed and a ten (10) inch water main laid and house connections made to all the lots.
Gutters were paved where necessary and the roadway macada- mized.
West Foster Street
At Trenton Street and West Foster Street, by consent of the owners, the corners were rounded and edgestones set making a much needed improvement as on account of the narrowness of these streets this corner was dangerous.
The macadamizing of Beverly Street commenced in 1916, was completed. With edgestones set, granolithic walks with grass plot and a finished roadway, this street is in fine condition.
On Natalie Avenue edgestones were set and sidewalks constructed of granolithic with a grass plot, the gutters paved, and the roadway macadamized. This work was very difficult, a large part of the street was solid ledge and practically impassable, but the ledge was safely blasted with no damage to adjoining property, and the street is now a credit to the City.
Edgestones were set on Stevens Road, granolithic sidewalks con- structed with grass plot on the westerly side, gravel sidewalk on the
8
II4
CITY OF MELROSE
easterly side, the guters paved where necessary, and the roadway constructed with gravel.
Walton Park was repaired from Orris Street to South Avenue.
York Terrace was regraded and graveled. Botolph Street, Woodland Avenue to Summit Avenue, and Woodland Avenue, Frank- lin Street to Botolph Street was regraded and graveled.
The gutter was paved on the west side of Ashland Street, Rich- ardson Road to Marvin Road, and the roadway regraded with gravel.
Hopkins Street was constructed with paved gutters, gravel road- ways and sidewalks. (Work not completed.)
Edgestones were set on Argyle Street from Rogers Street souther- ly, granolithic walks constructed and the roadway constructed with gravel.
Harold Street was constructed with gravel from Goss Avenue to Whitman Avenue.
A plan was submitted by this Department and adopted, cutting off the easterly corner of Swains Pond Avenue at Grove Street. This change has been made and is a great improvement. The street was regraded from Grove Street to Folsom Avenue.
The plank walk on Swains Pond Avenue was rebuilt from Jones's Ice Houses to near Dexter Road and the work begun on regrading the roadway with gravel.
Farwell Avenue from Howard Street to Haskel Street was re- graded and graveled.
Holland Road was regraded.
Lincoln Street from Porter Street to Sawyer Road was regraded and work was commenced between Sawyer Road and Upham Street filling and grading it for acceptance.
Melrose Street was regraded with gravel from Main Street to Lynn Fells Parkway, and repairing done on many other streets as shown on table.
Continuing the plan of treating macadamized and graveled streets with Tarvia B. as a dust layer and preservative, many more of our highways were put in better condition and they will be improved by each following application of this material.
Some of the streets treated by this method for the first time are Washington Street, from the Malden line to Trenton Street, West Wyoming Avenue, Trenton Street, Florence Street, West Foster Street, Berwick Street, Maple Street, Adams Street, Russell Street, Cleveland Street, Sanford Street, Herbert Street, Winthrop Street, Myrtle Street, Vine Street, Lake Avenue, Willow Street, Vinton Street, Otis Street, Youle Street, Rowe Street, Main Street, Bellevue Avenue, Porter Street, Marvin Road and Henry Avenue, and Upham Street from Main Street to Lebanon Street.
115
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Paved Gutters and Crossings
Gutters were paved on Ferdinand Street, Sewall Woods Road, Warwick Road, Spear Street, Ashland Street, and a crossing laid across Dyer Avenue at Warwick Road.
Tree Planting
72 Norway Maple Trees were set out on streets where requests were made, the applicant paying $2.00 for the tree and the City fur- nished the loam, etc., and did the planting.
With few exceptions all the trees planted the past few years are thriving, and this work should be encouraged and continued, as the atractiveness of our City depends very largely upon the trees.
Care of Trees
For the care of our old trees larger appropriations should be made in order that they may be trimmed and cared for as all of them should have careful and systematic attention for their preservation, and the new trees should be trimmed and carefully watched and pro- tected from insect pests.
Fortunately for those enjoying the beauty of Melrose today there were societies and individuals interested in tree planting in past years and through their efforts a great many of the trees of our City were planted, and we are receiving the benefit of their foresight and work, and we of the present day should do our share for the future develop- ment and welfare of the City.
Street Extensions
The extension of Linwood Avenue from Grove Street to East Foster Street is one of very great importance and I recommend that some action be taken toward laying out this street before any more buildings are constructed, thereby increasing the expense of the pro- ject.
Essex Street from Emerson Street to the angle should be ex- tended to Willow Street, and Willow Street widened from Essex Street to W. Foster Street. The need for this change is plainly shown by the traffic that is now using the vacant lot for a highway.
Cottage Street and Crescent Avenue should be connected to improve traffic facilities in this section, and for the Lincoln School children coming from the Russell Park section.
Hesseltine Avenue should be extended from Highland Avenue to Pearl Street.
Plans of the above have been made and are on file in this office.
It is acknowledged by autoists coming into Melrose and by the people of the City that street for street the highways of Melrose are
II6
CITY OF MELROSE
in excellent condition excepting Main Street, (and that I trust will be in a short time,) and to keep them up to this high standard it will be necessary to increase the Highway Repairs appropriation, as new streets are being accepted from year to year that need attention, and the existing highways should have careful attention.
The cost of this work has nearly doubled with the high cost of materials and labor.
Surface Drainage
A special appropriation was made of $7,200.00 and $4,800.00 was given by Mr. J. C. F. Slayton and Mr. James W. Maguire for the widening, straightening and deepening of the Main Brook from Good- year Avenue to the junction of the Main Brook and Spot Pond Brook.
A contract was made with the Gibbons Contracting Company for a section of the Main Brook from the Boston and Maine Station south- erly about 850 feet, and as soon as the vegetables were gathered from the gardens along the brook, work was begun (October 24th) and continued as long as the weather conditions would permit, nearly com- pleting this section.
The plan is to make the brook 23 feet in width at the top sloping- by a natural slope to the bottom from Goodyear Avenue to the dividing line of the estate of the Boston Rubber Shoe Company and the Lynde estate. From this point, as the taking tapers in width, the brook will taper from 23 feet to about 20 feet in width at the junction of Spot Pond Brook and widen and clean Spot Pond Brook.
Albion and Franklin Street
A 24 inch drain was laid from the brook in Albion Street to near Franklin Street and the catch basins on Franklin Street at and op- posite Pratt Street were connected with this drain, and the main drain should be extended on Franklin Street to Sargent Street and up Sar- gent Street to Briggs Street and Morgan Sreet, as this section is in great need of better drainage.
On Main Street a drain was laid from Franklin Street to High- land Avenue, Morgan Street southerly and Heyward Avenue norther- ly to the Wakefield line, and the required catch basins built and connected.
A drain was constructed in Pearl Street from the brook to Main Street and many other drains and catch basins constructed as per tables.
Sidewalks
There have been 18,715 linear feet of new edgestones set and 1610 linear feet of edgestone reset in connection with which it was neces-
İIŻ
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
sary to repave 333 square yards of gutters.
There have been 8,483 square yards of granolithic and 838 square yards of new tar concrete sidewalks constructed. Under repairs to present walks 1,382 square yards of three coat work, 750 square yards of two coat work, and 2,381 square yards of top dressing of tar con- crete sidewalks renewed. Twelve square yards of granolithic walks were relaid.
I recommend that edgestones be placed on Upham Street, Stevens Place to Lebanon Street, as this is the only down town part of the street without edgestones.
Underground Wires and Street Lighting
Owing to the War conditions no extensions have been made on underground conduits for electric, telephone and telegraph, and City wires.
White Way lights have been installed in Franklin Square, making a very great improvement in the lighting of the Square.
As soon as the conditions permit, ornamental lighting should be installed on West Emerson Street, Main Street to Vinton Sreet, and on West Wyoming Avenue from Main Street to the Stoneham line.
