[" D "] SEWERS AND DRAINS.
There is no system of sewers or drains at present in Quincy. Before beginning the construction of a sewerage system, as well as before beginning any other works of im- portance, it is wise to consider the question, " Is it neces- sary ?" The subject has received the most earnest attention of sanitary engineers and scientists, and during the last quar- ter of a century, has so expanded and developed that the actual benefit derived from a well constructed system of sew- ers seems almost as clearly demonstrated as a mathematical problem.
Wherever people are congregated in large numbers some means must inevitably be provided for the disposal of the waste matters thus accumulated, and to the mind of the intelli- gent observer the subject becomes of no small matter.
It is hoped, therefore, that no unnecessary delays will occur in the final adoption and construction of a sewerage system for Quincy.
No money was appropriated for sewers and drains during this fiscal year.

[" F"]
PUBLIC BRIDGES.
The repairs of the bridges belonging to the city have been looked after during the past year.
In August last, the City of Quincy joined the towns of Wey- mouth and Hingham in making some much needed repairs on the Quincy Point bridge. The proportional cost of making these repairs, charged to the City of Quincy, was $500.

COLLECTION OF GARBAGE.
The means at hand for this important branch of sanitary science, have been too limited during the past year to fully meet the cost of performing the work in a satisfactory manner.
Quite a large part of the sum appropriated for the collection of garbage was used at the beginning of the year in preparing a proper place in which the garbage could be stored after its collection, without its becoming a nuisance and detrimental to public health ; this was done by constructing a suitable recep- tacle near the City Stable at the Poor Farm, and the garbage, as fast as collected, was deposited therein, and so kept con- ·fined until sold or otherwise disposed of .- A shed has also been constructed in which the garbage wagon is kept when not in use.
Besides selling a large quantity of the garbage collected, much has been used in feeding the swine belonging to the
138
Overseer of the Poor, for which no return has been made.
In connection with this subject some action should be taken by the City Council, to provide suitable and convenient places to dump ashes and other rubbish which accumulates about the houses of our citizens.
The necessity of having this refuse disposed of is becoming greater each year.
Inquiries are made at this office nearly every day, for places to dump cinders, ashes, rubbish and other material not inju- rious to health, but valuable for filling low places.

WIDENING AND DEEPENING BROOKS.
The City Council appropriated a small sum of money to be used in widening and deepening the brooks about the city.
On October 6th, the Committee on Sewers and Drains took it upon themselves to present to the City Council a very elaborate and able report, respecting the subject of widening and deepening of the brooks, criticising the Commissioner and his manner of dealing with the subject. The astuteness with which these gentlemen express themselves in their report
139
concerning the subject and the Commissioner, is certainly remarkable and is deserving of great credit.
Surface drainage has become an important and expensive feature in Quincy.
It is absolutely necessary that something should be done to relieve both Town and Furnace brooks, now overflowing with stagnant and filthy water; but, however, before much work could be done this season in the way of actually " digging " out these brooks, it was desirable and necessary, as the first steps to be taken by the Commissioner, to learn in what part of the brooks the " digging " process was to be commenced and carried on.
Therefore, surveys and plans were made of Town and Fur- nace brooks, as well as their drainage areas traced, and the amount of velocity and volume of water flowing down these two water-courses determined.
Much time and labor was spent by the Commissioner after the surveys and plans were made, in determining the best manner in which the brooks could be widened, deepened and straightened, so that when any work was done on them it could be done in a systematical and reasonable way, and that the money expended therefor would be well spent.
All of these matters were put in proper shape and presented to the City Council by the Committee, on October 19, with plans and estimates of the cost of the proposed widening and deepening of Town and Furnace brooks.

BATES AVENUE BROOK.
For the temporary abatement of the nuisance connected with the Bates Avenue Brook in West Quincy, $2,200 was appro- priated by the Council. This sum was expended by the Com- missioner in constructing a stone drain along and through Willard and Rogers Streets, for the purpose of conveying the stagnant water lying in the swampy land adjacent to the O. T. Rogers Granite Company's stone sheds on Willard Street, instead of allowing it to percolate slowly through the large granite heap, as formerly.
The work of building the drain was done by Gilcoine Broth- ers and the price paid was $2.50 per lineal foot. Up to the present time the building of this drain has successfully accom- plished the purpose for which it was designed.

PERMITS.
Permits were issued by the Commissioner, during the year, for the following purposes : -

18 For moving buildings.
8 For parading streets.
11 For opening the streets.
CONCLUSION.
In closing, the Commissioner desires to call attention to the fact that the extent of public improvements completed during the year 1890, greatly exceeds that of any previous year, and he also desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to His Honor Mayor Porter, for invaluable service rendered through his counsel and advice in the adjustment of many important tran- sactions connected with the Department and myself, in all official business relations extending through the past year.

STATEMENT OF ACCEPTED STREETS.
As no tabulated statement of the accepted streets in our city has ever been published, it was believed that it would be interesting, as well as instructive, to present one to date. Many of the older streets have not been surveyed so as to give the exact number of feet either length or width, but the figures given are believed to be very nearly correct :-

REPORT OF THE
OVERSEER OF THE POOR.
To HIS HONOR CHAS. A. PORTER, MAYOR, CITY OF QUINCY :
I herewith submit my report as Overseer of Poor for the City of Quincy, year 1890.
I congratulate the city that there has been no unusual de- mand from the city the past year. Our Almshouse has been under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Jacobs, whom I think have been faithful to the trust. There were 17 inmates on Jan. 1st, 1890 ; admitted during the year, 12 ; discharged, 7; 3 died during the year, leaving 19 inmates at present. During the month of November the Almshouse has been thor- oughly renovated and to-day will rank well with any of its kind in the State. I respectfully recommend the appropriation of $7,500, together with the income from the Poor Department for the year 1891.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE H. FIELD,
Overseer of Poor.
