GRADE CROSSINGS.
The matter of the abolition of the grade crossings at Sa- ville and Water streets is still pending before the Commission- ers. The city has always maintained and will continue to urge upon the Commissioners that the only manner in which these grade crossings can be abolished, and the rights of all parties interested fully protected, and substantial justice rendered to each, will be by having the tracks of the railroad company materially depressed and an overhead bridge, for public foot and vehicle travel erected at each crossing. We are hopeful of a report from the Commissioners in the early spring.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
During the past year mains have been laid to Squantum of sufficient capacity to provide for the needs of that section of the city for the next twenty or twenty-five years. Perma- nent mains have also been laid to Rock Island. The pipes
25
in several streets have been replaced with larger ones, and bet- ter service no doubt will be the result. Forty-two hydrants were set, making a total of 757 hydrants in service at the pres- ent time. Four hundred and eleven new services were put in making a total of 6,814, about 3,600 of these are unmetered. I believe a substantial portion of them should be metered during this year.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The scavenger work as it is being done at present is most unsatisfactory. The work is done by contract, but on account of the large number of sewer connections which have done away with vaults and cesspools among the better class of build- ings, it is most difficult to collect payment for the work. The City Scavenger will not clean vaults and cesspools unless- as a rule-paid in advance. This causes much delay and an- noyance, as well as an unsanitary condition. There is not enough work at present to keep three teams at work all the year, but in the spring and summer months the work piles up. Therefore the contractor does not keep his teams in commis- sion all the year and the work cannot be done without great delay at such times. Where the contractor is not protected by the city for his pay it does not seem as if he can be forced to clean vaults and cesspools in a case where he has not been paid for past work. Our present contractor claims that there is not enough money in the work to enable him to renew his con- tract. The prices now charged are unjust.
I suggest that the city take up this work itself and com- bine it with the collecting of ashes. If the city does the work it would be well to have the City Council frame an ordinance ordering all cesspools and vaults to be cleaned at least once each year, and as many more times as in the opinion of the Board of Health they become a nuisance and dangerous to the public health. All bills due the city for doing such work to be a lien on the property where the fixtures are located and all money due the city for said work to be paid to the City
26
Treasurer. The bills rendered to the City Treasurer by the Board of Health for scavenger work to be collected by him. In the winter months one team can be kept in commission all the time thus preventing the work all coming in at one time in the spring of the year. The horses used on ashes can be used in the summer on scavenger work and garbage work. In this way the work would be self supporting and done entirely satisfactorily. The outfit would consist of one double team and two single teams. The board have two single teams at the present time, one on ashes and one on garbage. By having five more horses it seems as if the garbage, ashes and scaven- ger work could be done with a large saving to the city. The city can buy the tank wagon that the City Scavenger now owns, together with his two vault wagons at a reasonable fig- ure, thus the expense for initial outlay would be chiefly in buying the horses.
The cost of caring for the tuberculosis patients of the city is fast assuming serious proportions, and it will soon be nec- esary for the city to provide a suitable place to care for these patients. At the present time the Anti-Tuberculosis Society is attempting to establish a camp in which such patients will be cared for. This is a most praiseworthy work, and the ef- forts of this society should meet with the approval of our citi- zens. Any appeal by it for funds for the purpose of carrying on this work should receive prompt and generous response.
CITY HALL.
Some of the city departments have outgrown the accom- modations provided for them in the City Hall. The State law requires that the city records shall be kept in a fireproof room or vault. The State authorities have repeatedly called attention to our omission in this respect, and have recently commanded the city to comply with this law. The city at present is not in a position to comply with this law. In order to meet this condition of affairs the city must in addition to building a fireproof vault or room, either hire accommoda-
27
tions for some of its administrative offices outside of the City Hall or enlarge the present building. I believe it wiser for the city to pursue the latter course. The city should acquire the Henry M. Faxon property, lying between City Hall and property of the New Haven Railroad, and an addition should be erected on the westerly end of the present City Hall build- ing. I recommend that the Council take appropriate action in this matter.
Gentlemen :- I have briefly referred to some of the impor- tant matters with which your body will have to do in the com- ing year. Having voluntarily assumed the duties of public office we are bound to exercise our best judgment in the dis- charge of such duties. The Council must of necessity appro- priate large sums of money. Let me impress upon you that the money belongs to the taxpayers. Every appropriation should receive your careful scrutiny, and let us at the end of the year have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done our best.
