HOWARD AVENUE.
A start was made on grading and draining this street, but was stopped to accommodate the Fore River Engine Company and allow them to haul into their yard the vast amount of ma- terial necessary, before winter set in. In the spring this street will be closed to travel and the work completed.
Grove street improvement, Chubbuck street widening, Verchild street acceptance and grading, and Hancock street widening, were ordered under the conditions that abutters waive all claims for damages.
Efforts have been made to get releases signed but thus far a few abutters on each street have failed to sign, consequently no money was expended on the above orders and will not be until all abutters sign off.
BOTOLPH STREET GRADING
was postponed to permit the Sewer department to lay their main sewers through the street. This will probably be done in the coming spring and then the grading will be commenced.
Beale street macadamizing, Intervale street grading, Clark street grading and Quarry street approaches were ordered late in the year of 1900 and work commenced early in the spring of 1901. All of these orders have been carried out with satisfac- tory results.
STREET RAILWAY EXCISE TAX.
The amount received from this source was appropriated by the Council to be expended as provided by law. This moneys was used in repairing paving and macadam only on streets occupied by street railway tracks and keeping the road- way in a safe condition.
161
WATERING STREETS.
The American Car Sprinkler Co. were again awarded the contract for watering the streets where there were street rail- way tracks and gave excellent service.
The other districts were covered by four carts. There were 14 miles of street watered at a cost of 8.044 per linear foot of frontage, and the assessment on the abutters was levied at a rate of $.022 per linear foot, frontage.
EDGESTONES AND SETTING.
Under this account there were 29 applications for gravel, tar concrete and granolithic sidewalks, as follows :

The above work comprised the furnishing and laying of 1493.1 ft. straight edgestone, 123 ft. circle edgestone, 3 drive corners, 220 sq. yds. tar concrete walk, 23 sq. yds. tar concrete drive, 220.1 sq. yds. granolithic walk and 23.3 sq. yds. tar con- crete crossings.
By the terms agreed upon in the applications, the cost of the above work is divided, the city paying one-half the cost and the parties owning the property paying the other one-half.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR PERMANENT SIDEWALKS.
Following out the policy adopted by previous Councils, the Council of 1901 passed 12 orders for the construction of gravel and tar concrete walks with granite edgestones, under authority given by Chapter 444 of the Acts of 1895, and assessed one- half the cost of the new work on the abutters.
These orders were passed so late in the summer that it was impossible to get edgestones cut in season to complete all the work consequently 4 walks remain to be completed in the spring, namely :
Brooks avenue, edgestones and gravel sidewalk.
Newbury avenue, 66

A system was then started for the proper care of the «completed sewers. The manholes at convenient points were «connected with the water mains and once a month a gang of men go over the whole system, flush the pipes and make an inspection at every manhole, cleaning out those that are foul. Twice a year the sewer is cleaned out thoroughly by means of .scoops and brushes. This constant inspection is most necessary . In the large sewers where the grade is light the flow is very sluggish and a vegetable growth forms on the top and sides of the pipes and catches the scum and light floatsam which may clog the pipes completely.
A record is kept of the condition of the sewers at each manhole and those places which show an extreme foul condition are inspected and flushed twice a month.
The force main and pumping station were under my super- vision until April 1st, 1901, when by authority granted by the legislature and by agreement with the City of Quincy, the Met- ropolitan Water and Sewerage Board took the pumping station, force main and main brick sewers on the pumping station grounds, paying to the City therefor the sum of $98,974.20
After April 1, 1901, the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board maintain the pumping station and provide for the dis- posal of the sewerage of the entire city.
The total length of sewers now under my charge is 22.48 miles. Several miles more will be turned over for operation in 1902 when the Board of Sewerage Commissioners complete the Atlantic section now under construction.
WATER DIVISION.
This division of the department is now on a fairly perma- nent self supporting basis and the water plant is one in which we can take just pride.
Early in the year the leased quarters were given up and the disused pumping station fitted up for a shop. This is an ideal location with ample yard room for storage of pipe, having a spur track running into the yard.
168
The buildings are admirably adapted for the purpose, having an office, brass room, meter testing room, fitting room for service pipe and fittings, large tool room, stable, blacksmith shop and dwelling house.
Most of the work in putting these buildings in their present. fine shape was done by our permanent men at odd moments at. very little expense and reflects credit upon our efficient Super- intendent, Mr. Gleason.
It is desired to add a water motor pipe cutting machine- and lathes to enable us to do our work in a more economical manner.
Many valuable additions were made to our equipment and we are now in a position to do work as cheaply as any depart- ment in the state.
Special care was taken to prevent the unnecessary waste of water and to keep fixtures and pipes in good condition.
The Metropolitan Water Board becoming alarmed at the extravagant use of water, which amounted to 117 gallons per day to each individual in the district, gave instructions to pro- hibit the use of lawn sprinklers except on a metered service. These instructions have been added to our rules and notice given to water takers.
Experiments recently made show that under ordinary con- ditions of use a hand hose with a -3 inch nozzle will deliver 320 gallons of water per hour and a lawn sprinkler 450 gallons per hour.
Under our rules of two hours each day and at our meter rates of 25 cents per 1000 gallons an ordinary hand hose would use water to the value of $4.80 in one month and a lawn sprink- ler 86.75 in one month.
It is a fact that the largest proportion of waste is from lawn sprinklers and hand hose and the placing of meters on these services will either curtail the waste of water or else. increase our revenue to such an extent we can afford to pay the increased assessments to the Metropolitan Water district.
The legislature is considering the question of basing water assessments in the Metropolitan district on amount of water
169
consumed. If this law should be enacted we will then be obliged to assess our takers on amount consumed, or in other words, have meters placed on every service and rearrange our rates so our income will meet our liabilities of each year. The quantity of water furnished at present is unlimited and the quality excellent.
The Metropolitan Water Board have completed the stand- pipe and reservoir on Forbes Hill and we have now a storage of 5,745,000 gallons to draw from in case of accident to the supply mains.
The past year we made a 10 inch connection with the City of Boston Mains at Neponset Bridge giving us an emergency supply.
The principal work of the year was laying extensions for new subscribers but much was done in improving our service by replacing small pipe with a larger size and several connec- tions were made to do away with dead ends.
Total length of cast iron pipe laid during the year was 4.14 miles, making total length of street mains 86.98 miles. 2.1 miles of small sizes of iron pipe was used in making temporary extensions.
300 service connections were made using 15,388 feet of lead lined service pipe, at a total cost of $10,334.70, the owners. paying $7,447.89 and the city $2,886.81.
42 new hydrants were set at a total cost of $2,002.53. 5. were taken up, making total number hydrants in use 576.
43 new gates were added making total in use 1044.
The total number of services is 4630. 164 services have been discontinued, 157 services are to city property, leaving 4309 paying services.
There are 147 meters in use at the present time.
The receipts from water rates was $69,331.24 and from service connections $11,050.97 making the total gross receipts $80,382.21.
There were 44 leaks repaired on main pipe and 32 leaks repaired on service pipes. 53 old services becoming clogged were taken up and renewed.
170
All gates, hydrants and blow-offs have had a careful in- spection. The stand-pipe was thoroughly cleaned and the bottom repaired and concreted. Frequent visits were made to the old reservoir to inspect the condition of gate house and dam.
The following tables will show miles of pipe, number and location of hydrants, gates, etc.
A list of stock on hand is on file in the office.
At the close of this my fifth years work as Commissioner of Public Works, I desire to thank His Honor the Mayor, the members of the City Council, the heads of departments and the foremen, clerks and employes of this department for their advice, assistance and ready co-operation in serving the interests of the City.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. KNOWLTON, Commissioner of Public Works.
