REPORT OF DEPT. OF HEALTH
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
January 3, 1921.
Mr. Edward A. Bean,
Health Commissioner,
Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report as Sanitary Inspector in the Milk Department for the year ending December 31, 1920.
Conditions of Local Dairies
With but few exceptions the local dairies are in a sanitary condition, kept clean and well ventilated, and milk rooms are well screened and kept clean and well drained.
I will say the milk supply of the City of Quincy will compare favorably with any section of the Commonwealth in regard to purity and cleanliness, and as a rule all milk will be found up to the State standard in quality. I would recommend a fully equipped Bacteriological laboratory for the year 1921 so that we may be able to take bacteria count.

After taking over the duties of the office the first of January, and familiarizing myself with the work of the department, I commenced at once my inspections.
I found in some sections of our city, markets that were in such condi- tion that I was obliged to give them a stated time to make a thorough clean- up in accordance to the rules and regulations of the Health Department.
In some localities I found stores and markets that had not been inspected for the past two years. In such cases I was obliged to condemn more or less meats as unfit for food.
I was at the office part of a day each week which enabled me to talk over with the Health Commissioner any business matters or any com- plaints that were made to the office or to me in person relative to meats or poultry sold unfit for food. These complaints were looked after at once and I also made a note of it on my inspection card, reporting same to the Health Commissioner.
You will find by my inspection cards that some markets were inspected more often than others and this was on account of the conditions I found them in.
235
REPORT OF DEPT. OF HEALTH
As our city has grown fast the past five years, which means more stores in all sections with more inspections, I divided up my time using my best judgment where inspections were most needed.
During the coming year I shall endeavor to find time for more frequent inspections of all the various stores.
I desire to express my appreciation for the courtesy shown to me by officials of the Health Department.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD ROGERS, Inspector of Meats and Provisions.

It will be seen by the above tables that there has been a gradual decline in the amount of building within the City during the past three years; but we have maintained a substantial amount above the other towns and cities of the Commonwealth, and the prospects for the coming year are very encouraging for an increased amount of proposed buildings for which plans are being matured.

Electrical Fires
Seven fires in 1920 were due to old defective electrical systems or carelessness in the use of electrical appliances. To illustrate:
No. 1. Defective wiring under a bath-room floor ignited rags and paper wrapped around pipes to prevent freezing.
No. 2. Failure to turn the current off an electric iron setting on a metal plate, resulted in the plate becoming overheated to such a degree a wooden table took fire.
No. 3. Branch wires supplying current to electric iron were not properly soldered.
No. 4. Failure to pull a switch back far enough caused an arc which set fire to the installation on an electric motor.
No. 5. Wire furnishing current for transportation came in contact with lighting wires which were not properly grounded. Fire resulted and fixtures and other appliances were destroyed.
No. 6. Failure to comply with the rules governing splicing of wires in metal moulding caused insulation to ignite and set fire to a frame build- ing.
No. 7. A service switch, too small for the number of lights on an electrical system, became overheated on account of the extra current con- sumed by the lights and other appliances, which were added from time to time. Rubber insulation was burning at switch connection when condi- tion was discovered.
At the same time, it must be said in all fairness, that the foregoing is not an argument against the use of electricity, but a reason why care should be exercised at all times in controlling electricity, and particularly, that no work should be performed on electrical systems except by men of experi- ence and judgment and only after a permit for same has been issued by the department of Inspector of Wires.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK LINTS,
Inspector of Wires.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
January 1, 1921.
To His Honor, William A. Bradford, Mayor,
and Members of the City Council.
Dear Sirs: I herewith respectfully submit the twenty-first annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1920.
The following is a statement of the work done by this department during the year 1920:
Street lines and grades have been given at the request of property owners of 100 estates.
Plans and estimates have been prepared by the engineering depart- ment as follows:
Proposed street widenings 4
Acceptance of private streets 15
Plans for Planning Board . 3
Plans for Legislative Hearings 2
Miscellaneous plans.
22
Commissioner of Public Works
Lines and grades have been given for construction of new streets, sidewalks, sewers and drains.
Washington Street Widening
The widening of Washington Street which was begun by the U. S. Government in November 1917, was finished in 1920.
The U. S. Government paid the construction cost and the City of Quincy paid the land damages.
Elimination of Grade Crossings
The question of elimination of grade crossings again came up for consideration this year. Early in the year the Railroad Company prom- ised to begin work eliminating the crossing at Saville Street but nothing was done until late in the year.
The question of the platform and stair arrangement at the Quincy Station was taken up by the Railroad authorities with his Honor, Mayor Whiton and after several conferences an agreement was reached whereby the Railroad will build two island platforms with one subway 20 feet wide under the tracks about 80 feet south of passenger station; a wooden foot bridge over the tracks at Saville Street, until such time as the four track system will be built, when a subway will replace the wooden bridge. A. connection will also be made between the platforms and Granite Street.
Construction work was begun December 21, 1920, and owing to the inclemency of the weather was stopped again on December 23, 1920, with an assurance by the Railroad officials that it would begin again in the early spring.
242
243
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
Hancock Street
The question of paving Hancock Street was taken up in the early Spring and the Commissioner of Public Works wanted an additional appropriation of $21,000 to be added to the $75,000 appropriation of 1919, but the order was rejected.
Work started at Hancock Square, at the Junction of Hancock Street with Adams Street, and the street was paved from curb to curb northerly as far as appropriation would allow, which was a length of 3400 feet.
Adams Street at Eaton's Ice Pond
The straightening of Adams Street at Eaton's Ice Pond has been con- sidered for years and in July, 1920, $14,000 was appropriated for the work. The new street was joined to the old roadway between the Boule- vard and Common Street on the west side and made a street about 100 feet wide.
It was then decided to divide the traffic by putting a grass area in the centre, this change with curbstone etc., added $10,000 more to the expense.
Sub-Passage - Wollaston Station
For a long time the question of a means of passage from one side of the railroad track to the other side at the Wollaston Station has been under consideration and this year an agreement was made with the railroad Company to allow the foot passageway to cross their location, with the agreement that the City of Quincy bear the entire expense.
The sub-passageway was built under the present two tracks at an expense of about $20,000 with a provision being made to extend sub-passage- way when the four track system is extended.
Yours respectfully,
PATRICK F. O'BRIEN, City Engineer.
