Report of the Commissioner of Public Works.
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
SIR :- I have the honor to submit herewith the thirteenth annual report of the Department of Public Works for the year ending December 31, 1901.
The 65 different appropriations have been expended as wisely and economically as possible, the work completed within the appropriations and in most cases a balance has been returned to the treasury.
Work on streets, drains and public buildings have been divided as equally as possible among the different wards of the city, and in the employment of labor and the purchase of materials, an honest endeavor is made to fairly divide it among our own citizens.
In collecting nearly $70,000.00 water rates I have tried to be as accommodating as possible to the 4630 water sub- scribers and still carry out the City ordinances in relation to collections.
Our 73.1 miles of streets, 13 school buildings, 6 fire stations, water shop, city stables and city hall, 22.48 miles of sewers, and 87 miles of water pipe, never were in a better con- dition of repair than at present.
In carrying on public work a study is made of the methods employed by the progressive municipalities in the State and elsewhere, and wherever possible, permanent, up to date con-
142
struction is adopted, my aim being to bring our city up to as high a standard as our sister cities, as is consistent with our local conditions and limited income.
There were 121 orders passed by the City Council for work to be done under the direction of the Commissioner of Public Works, involving an expenditure of $217,417.96, in- cluding transfers and receipts, divided among the divisions as follows :
