WARD 6 SCHOOL HOUSE.


The Council passed an order July 2, 1906, appropriating $61,000 for the erection of a twelve-room brick school build- ing on Newbury Avenue, Atlantic, in accordance with plans and specifications of Hurd and Gore, architects.


The contract was awarded November 1, 1906, to Marr Brothers for $57,512, they being the lowest bidders.

MOVING CODDINGTON SCHOOL BUILDINGS.


An appropriation of $2,000 was made for the purpose of moving the old Coddington School buildings from their for- mer location so as to leave space open for the proposed new building and at the same time leave the old buildings in suit- able condition so that they could be occupied until the new building was completed.


Bids were advertised for moving said buildings and con- tract let to The John Cavanagh & Son Moving Co. for $900. Work was immediately begun and progressed as rapidly as possible and would have been ready for occupancy the first day when school opened if it had not been that considerable more work was required than at first contemplated.


The buildings are now in such condition that they can be occupied very comfortably until such time as the new building is completed.


CODDINGTON SCHOOL BUILDING.


The Council passed an order November II, 1907, appro- priating $70,000 for the erection of a twelve-room brick. school building on the Coddington School lot on Coddington Street in accordance with plans and specifications of Charles. A. Brigham, architect, approved by the School Committee,. November 2, 1907.


Proposals were advertised for December 28, 1907, and eighteen were received ranging from $73,990 to $104,879. As all proposals were in excess of the appropriation they are being taken under advisement awaiting further action from the City Council.

SEWER DIVISION.


During the year 1907 each ward of the city shared in the work of sewer construction. Some of the streets were sewered upon the petition of the owners and abutters and others at the request of the Board of Health. $40,000 was appropriated early in the year and there is a sufficient bal- ance to complete the Farrington Street sewer according to the City Engineer's estimate. This work was contemplated during the past year and the pipe and brick purchased for the same and can be started as soon as the season permits.


The principal piece of sewer work was begun about the first of June on the Quincy Shore Reservation, Atlantic. The proper place to begin this work was at the corner of Squan- tum Street and Bayfield Road, but in order that the con- struction of the sewer might not interfere with the comple-


348


tion of the Boulevard, work was begun at the corner of Bay- field Road and the Quincy Shore Reservation. A ten-inch pipe was laid in the Reservation from Bayfield Road to Web- ster Street, a distance of 667.3 feet. In order to obtain a suitable foundation for this it was necessary to excavate be- low grade almost the entire length between the streets. A small portion of the pipe near Webster Street was laid on a platform and cradle supported by 4x6 timbers driven to a firm foundation and braced together. Where excavation was made below grade the foundation was made up of large gravel and stone and the sheathing left in place.


Buckley Street, South Street and Dimmock Street were built at the request of the Board of Health: the two former consisting largely of rock excavation. Below will be found a schedule showing the streets in which sewers have been constructed, the location, size of pipe, length and material encountered. 8437.0 feet of sewer have been constructed during the past year making a total of 48.602 miles to date (256,619.03 feet).

PARTICULAR SEWERS.


A balance of $241.03 was carried over from last year and in March, 1907, an appropriation of $6,000 was made by the City Council for the purpose of connecting estates with the public sewers. This money has been expended and an early appropriation should be made the coming year in order to carry on the work.


209 new connections were put in the past year at an average cost of $.542 per foot or $24.45 per connection. The average length per connection was 45.10 feet. The total length of pipe laid for connection was 10,029.34 feet, mak- ing to date a total of 110,758.41 feet or 20.976 miles.


These connections were laid with 5-inch pipe with but few exceptions. One of these was the sewer connection laid through the Fore River Yard, consisting of 692.54 feet of 10- inch pipe with an average cut of 12.5 feet. This connection used up practically $2,000 of the particular sewer money and is not included in the average costs. Included with this re- port will be found various tables in relation to particular sewers.

There were two alterations in sewer connections the past year and three abandoned connections. The number of stop- pages in the house connections was four.


MAINTENANCE.


The appropriation for maintenance this year has been less than in any previous year and the number of miles to be kept clean is increasing from year to year. The present appropriation is not sufficient to maintain the system in a thor- oughly satisfactory manner, and it is recommended that more money be appropriated for this purpose. The flushing work has been carried on at intervals during the year when con- venient. It is hoped that more flushers can be introduced this year, which will simplify the work of cleaning very ma- terially. At the time of the year when the cleaning can be carried on to the best advantage, that is, during the cold weather, there is not sufficient money to take care of it.


There are several petitions on file for the extension of the system in various parts of the city, and there are generally a few others received after the actual work of construction has been begun. It is advisable that money be provided at an early date to carry on this work in order that we may take advantage of the good weather and avoid carrying the work into the winter months.


WATER DIVISION


The consumption of water throughout the Metropolitan " District has largely increased during the past few years.


Owing to this fact it became necessary for the Metropol- itan Water Board to take a decided action regarding the waste of water.


To prevent this waste a bill was introduced into Legis- lature relative to water meters and was passed June 15, 1907.


352


This act provides that all cities and towns deriving their supply from the Metropolitan Water District "shall equip with water meters all services thereafter installed for them, and shall also annually equip with water meters five per cent. of the water services which were unmetered December 31, 1907."


Beginning January 1, 1906, the Metropolitan Water As- sessment was based on one-third valuation and two-thirds consumption. In cities and towns where meters are in com- mon use there was a noticeable decrease in the assessment for the year 1907, but Quincy, having comparatively few me- ters, was obliged to pay an assessment of $3,712.98 more than the previous year, the assessment being $50,027.14 for the year 1907.


A comparison of the average daily consumption for the months of December, 1906 and December 1907, shows that in the latter there has been a decrease of about ten gallons per capita. This decrease we attribute to the installation of water meters.


As reducing the consumption is the only way by which the Metropolitan Water Assessment can be reduced I would rec- ommend that, not only the number of meters required by the Act recently passed by the Legislature be installed, but as many more as possible.


I would also suggest that the rules of this department regarding waste of water on account of the poor condition of pipes and fixtures be rigidly enforced.


If each water taker would realize that every gallon of water wasted is being paid for by them through their tax rate, no doubt more care would be taken in this respect.


The question of adjusting the water rates is a matter which should be considered in the near future as the assess- ment by meter should be so that all would be on an equal basis.


On account of dissatisfaction regarding the rates on


353


houses occupied by two or more families, in July of this year a change was made charging a minimum rate of $18 per ser- vice instead of $18 per family.


The receipts for water rates during the past year were $112,546.37 ; this shows an increase of $26,501.08 during the past five years.


· Together with this income of $112,546.37 should be con- sidered the amount of water used by the City free of charge.


The average amount of water used per day in each of the schoolhouses, which number thirteen, is 2,862 gallons. In addition to these there are eleven other public buildings being supplied. An immense amount of water is used for street sprinkling, flushing sewers, fire purposes, and in all construction work throughout the city.


Practically all the money available under Chapter 40I of the Acts of 1891 had been borrowed, so it was necessary to introduce a bill in the Legislature for authority to bor- row more money.


On March 8, 1907, an "Act authorizing the City of Quincy to incur indebtedness for water supply purposes not to ex- ceed $200,000.00 was passed." $20,000.00 and receipts from service connections amounting to $6,689.20 was appropriated for the extension of mains, setting hydrants, gates, etc.


Petitions were received for several extensions and where it was deemed advisable they were made. I would recommend that more hydrants be set in places to be designated by the Chief of the Fire Department in order to insure better fire protection in some sections of the city.


As the order for cast-iron pipe cannot be given until the appropriation for construction work is made by the Coun- cil, which according to the present system is very late in the spring, I would suggest that the appropriation be made in the fall, making the money available in February of the fol- lowing year, at which time better prices and more prompt deliveries could be secured.

Total assessment for water rates for 1907 $115,302.75 Amount rebated for vacancies and

Total amount collected for the year


ending December 31, 1907


$112,546.37


During the year 234 new services were put in, making the total number now in use 6,091.


The cost of putting in these services was $6,877.32, of which $3,870.27 was charged to the owners and $3,007.05 charged to the City.


658 meters were set, making a total of 1,505 in use.


14 hydrants and 16 gates were set.


The total number of feet of street mains laid was 7,653 feet, making a total length of street mains 544,427 feet.


The following tables will show miles of pipe, number of hydrants and gates, also the location of pipe, hydrants and gates put in during the past year.


List of stock can be found on file in my office.


In conclusion I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor, the members of the City Council, the clerks, foremen and em- ployees of my department for their advice and valuable as- sistance.


Respectfully submitted,


THOS. F. BURKE,


Commissioner of Public Works.

Report of the Building Inspector


Quincy, Mass., Jan. 1, 1908.


To His Honor, the Mayor of the City of Quincy :


Dear Sir :-


I herewith submit the first annual report of the Building Department. ; Building operations under various stages of completion Feb. 1, 1907. Having made a careful inspection of the city, I found under construction Feb. I, 1907, forty-five dwellings, three stables, nine mercantile build- ings, four manufactories and five alterations making a total of sixty-six (66).


In the inspection of the different buildings under con- struction I have made it a rule to examine the foundations and construction, and especially to look after the proper fire- stopping of all partitions and walls. The contractors have co-operated willingly in most instances with the inspector in complying with the ordinance. During the year the Building Ordinance has been amended as follows:


January 21, 1907.


ORDERED :


That the Building Ordinance be amended by striking out of Section 3 thereof the following words :- "Copeland Street from intersection of Miller Street to Furnace Avenue"


359


360


and inserting in place thereof the words "Copeland Street from intersection of Miller Street to Cross Street." And further


Oct. 7, 1907.


ORDERED :


That the Ordinance establishing Fire Districts, etc., be amended so as to read as follows :-


Section 6 .- By adding after the words "fire or other wise" the words "nor add to any such building."


Section 6 .- Also add after the words "within the limits of District No. I" the following-"No dwelling-house shall be hereafter built within the limits of District No. 2, without foundations walls," so that Section 6 shall read as follows :-


Section 6 .- No wooden or frame building, except dwell- ing-houses and private stables, shall be hereafter built within the limits of District No. I. No dwelling-house shall be here- after built within the limits of District No. 2, without founda- tion walls. No person shall move, or cause to be moved any wooden building from without said limits into the same. No person shall move or cause to be moved any wooden building from one place to another within said limits, nor shall any per- son repair or rebuild any building within said limits, which has been partially destroyed by fire or otherwise, nor add to any such building, without the written permit of the Inspector of Buildings.


The following is a list of the permits issued during the year :-
