WOLLASTON SCHOOL.
The appropriations incident to the New Wollaston School have been as follows:
Purchase of large lot, 88,094 sq. ft.
$9,400 00
Purchase of small lot and house, 6,577 sq. ft.
4,000 00
For building construction

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Three contracts were made for this work, as follows :
C. S. Cunningham & Sons Cons. Co., building $59,900 00 Walter B. Ross, heating 6,655 00
M. A. Dame & Son Co. 3,175 00
These contracts with the architect's fees and the addi- tional foundation work which had to be done was more than the appropriation, and as the contract provided for substitut- ing a galvanized iron cornice for the granite cornice this was done, and later on a brick one built instead of the iron one. With this exception the building is better in several respects than originally called for, and I am glad to say will be fin- ished on time. The first two contracts were taken very low, but nevertheless they have been carried out to every respect. The cost per cubic foot is a trifle less than thirteen cents, which is low for this class of construction.
The eleventh hour decision to purchase the house and lot at the corner of Beale and Taylor street and locate the school house on Beale street saved the city enough in filling to al- most pay for the land and provides a good playground in place of practically none.
It is a disappointment not to see the grounds graded before retiring from office, but a 'fly in the ointment" some- where prevented this.
The credit for the building belongs to Mr. Albert H. Wright, the architect, whose plans and careful supervision have given us a good building, and to the contractors who have carried out their work in spite of low figures.
The contract for the furnishings was let to Henry L. Kin- caide & Co. The bulk of the furniture is of the Heywood Bros. & Wakefield Co.'s make, and all of the work has been stained to match the interior finish of the building with pleas- ing results.

MONTCLAIR SCHOOL BUILDING.
The appropriations already made and asked for on this work are as follows:
Land, 84,914 square feet
$7,700 00
Building
45,000 00
Grading
5,600 00
Total
$58,300 00
The building contains eight class rooms and recitation room, and is so planned that four rooms and Assembly Hall may be added at a later date.
The first bids exceeded the appropriation by several thou- sand dollars and necessitated going to the City Council for more money or to the School Committee for permission to cheapen the building The latter was done without serious detriment to the building, but some delay to construction

With two exceptions these streets were built under the betterment act, and the aim has been to give the abutters a fair return on their money. With the exception of the four streets marked thus *, the streets were built with narrow sidewalks, tree space and roadway of macadam or gravel de- pending on the locality. These are not model streets, but are an improvement on the old methods, and I hope it will not be long before every newly accepted street has the curb and per- manent sidewalk laid when the street is built.
The streets in Wards 5 and 6 were surfaced with good stony gravel with a little binder in it which is almost as good as macadam in these side streets.
Surface drainage has been provided for in each case, drains being built where necessary.
Wherever practical or advisable trees were planted and the tree space sodded full width opposite residences and with sod on each edge opposite vacant lots.

MISCELLANEOUS APPROPRIATIONS.
Several appropriations were made for the following pur- poses :
CITY SCALES.
A new 20-ton auto truck type Howe Scales were pur- chased for $293 00 and set up in existing pit on Granite street .. The total cost of work, including cost of scales was $400 00.
417
These scales are first class and every precaution was used in setting to make them permanent and give access for cleaning and oiling.
STEAM ROLLER.
An appropriation of $2,500 was made to cover the dif- ference in cost between rental paid for roller (which was applied toward purchase price) and total cost of roller-i. e., $3,500. The Highway Department is now well equipped with rollers.
PUBLIC LANDING.
An appropriation of $2,000 was made to build a pier and wall at Hough's Neck, at the foot of Bay View avenue. This was made too late for construction, but plans have been made and permission obtained from the Directors of the Port of Boston.
BATH HOUSE.
A new bath house, with 46 lockers, office, shower bath and toilet was built for $2,500 at Ward Two Playground, just south of the existing bath house.
HIGH SCHOOL WIRING.
The entire program clock system at the High School has been overhauled and adjusted ; a motor generator and storage battery installed and the system guaranteed to run.
POLICE STATION PLUMBING.
Each cell at the Police Station has had a toilet installed and the system connected with the sewer in School street.

The Legislature under Chapter 488 of the Acts of 1911 authorized the city to borrow $200,000 00 outside the debt limit for water construction purposes. Of this amount, $10,- 000 00 has been appropriated for extensions of mains and $20,000 00 for water meters, leaving a balance of $170,000 00 unappropriated under this act.
CONSTRUCTION.
Extension of Mains.
For particular information, reference may be had to the accompanying tables for the location and size of new water mains laid during the year, number and size of hydrants and stop gates set.
A summary of the work is as follows :
Pipe 4-inch and over
Pipe 2-inch and over
5.824 miles .204 miles
Total Temporary mains 77 gates 4-inch and over
6.028 miles .58 miles
43 hydrants set
423
Mains were laid in 103 locations aggregating 5.824 miles of cast iron mains, .204 miles of wrought iron mains ; total, 6.208 miles, and .580 miles of temporary extension (not listed as permanent main).
Of this amount, 1.77 miles was relaying old mains, mak- ing net extensions 4.258 miles, or a total in use of all kinds 121 miles.
4-inch and over, 112.1 miles.
30 hydrants were set on new mains
13 hydrants were set on old mains.
9 hydrants were replaced.
3 hydrants were discontinued.
Total in use (public and private), 873.
77 new gates were set on new mains.
12 gates were removed. Number in use, 1,551.
Owing to the constant breaks due to the poor condition of the Sea street main, opposite "Post Island", a pipe was laid from Palmer street, ať "Bethel Beach" to Rock Island, to give an additional supply in case of a break in the main pipe. This line was laid with four insulated joints to resist electro- lysis, which has partially destroyed the Sea street pipe in various places. This portion of the Sea street pipe should be overhauled and relaid as soon as possible and provision made to resist electrolitic action. About one-half mile of 8-inch pipe was laid in the Quincy Shore Reservation, making a continuous pipe from Ocean street to Channing street.
A great many dead ends have been connected up, and there are a great many more which should be done away with as soon as circumstances will permit in order to give a purer supply and strengthen the fire service.
About 1.93 miles of Kalamein iron pipe was replaced, leaving about 22 miles in use. A lot of this pipe is leaking badly and the sooner it is thrown away the better.
In my opinion there is no work being done by this city on which it receives better returns than on water construction, but in order that this may be successfully done the appropria-
424
tion should be ample and made early in the year, so that ma- terial can be bought in large lots and deliveries insured and work properly laid out in advance. The construction work and costs of the last few years show a reduction of twenty to fifty per cent, which results from giving the superintendent full charge and not loading him up with undesirables. Loca- tions of extensions have beeen kept in all cases by the depart- ment, but I think that as soon as the resources of the City En- gineer permit it, extensions should be properly recorded in his office.
Services.
The total number of feet of service pipe laid was 23,441. This included the new services and the renewals, in sizes ranging from 34 inch to 2 inches. Of the total amount laid, 16,633 feet was charged to the owner of the property and 6,808 feet charged to the city. The amount charged to the owners was $6,857 18, the cost to the city was $4,909 71. The bulk of the services was 34 inch lead lined wrought iron pipe.
The total number of services in use is 7,748.
Number of service connections during 1911 was 441.
Meters.
Two appropriations were made by the City Council for installing meters, one of $15,000 00 in March and another of $20,000 00 in December. If, as the committee on Water Sup- ply wished, the total amount could have been made available at one time a saving of four thousand dollars could have been made but there was not enough money available under the Act of 1907 to do this.
Under the first appropriation a large number of meters have been set on old and new services so that at the present time about 73 per cent of the permanent services and 62 per cent of the total number of services are metered. Public buildings are being metered although no charge is made for
425
the water used. With the balance on hand all the permanent services can be metered.
Hersey meters have been used almost exclusively, as the City obtained the best proposition from that company and I do not think the city will regret doing so. By some people it is called a cut price meter but I fail to see what particular merit there is in paying any company eight or ten dollars for a meter than can be made and sold, in large numbers, at a profit, for six or perhaps five dollars. I have not found a dis- interested competent man yet who will say that the city is making a mistake.
Where meters are set in the ground we are using a con- crete box in place of the wooden boxes. These are 2 ft. x 4 ft. at the bottom running plumb for two feet and then taper- ing to meet the iron frame and cover. They are cast in the shop in four pieces which interlock, are assembled in the ditch and the pressure of the earth holds them together. A wood- en filler piece is used between concrete box and iron cover to allow for change in street grade.

Relay.
As we have no specific funds for this purpose this part of the work is done under the construction account. In every instance the new pipes are larger than the old but if provision was made by the Council for charging off a portion of this. against receipts, as it should be done, we would not be in- creasing our water debt and interest to keep down the tax rate. During the year 1.77 miles of pipe were relaid, about a mile of this being wrought iron Kalamein pipe purchased from the Water Company, the small sizes of which are going to pieces very fast. Small relays were made from the main- tenance account.
