I especially wish to call to your attention the tactful, cheerful and un- complaining work of Miss Nettie Denton, although clinics that some- times last until 6.30 P.M. are necessarily a severe mental and physical strain.
Very truly yours, E. B. FITZGERALD, M.D., Child Welfare Physician.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
JANUARY 1, 1924.
Hon. GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor of Quincy, Mass.
DEAR SIR: - I herewith submit the seventeenth report of the Building Department of the city of Quincy for the year ending December 31, 1923.
The conditions of the year 1922 have continued through the year 1923, with increased number of permits and estimated costs of approximately 25 per cent above the figures for 1922. The building of dwellings still continues, fully 67 per cent of which were erected in Wards 5 and 6. Ap- proximately 17 per cent of these dwellings were built in Ward 1.
In Wards 2, 3 and 4 there has been a substantial increase above the previous years, with the prospect of a further increase for the coming year.
The number of new apartments erected the past year was 837, prac- tically one-half of which are in the two-family type of house.
The mercantile buildings erected this year have been of a more desirable type of building, practically all of which have been of the first or second class construction.
Our business sections have been extended along our main thorough- fares, and quite a few ancient structures within these areas have been removed and modern structures erected on these sites.
The private garage has also been in evidence the past year, as each home, to be complete, necessitates the erection of these structures for housing the automobile which today has become a necessity as a means of conveyance. The automobile has been the main cause of the building up of areas which in the past were considered remote sites for dwellings. The garage laws relative to location of the private garages have been amended so as to relieve the condition which the general public considered a grievance.
As in the past, a number of alterations to existing structures have been made. The alterations have consisted of improving old conditions and arranging for the occupancy of additional families, and on the whole have been of a material advantage to the condition of our city in relation to public safety, fire menace and sanitary conditions.
The new high school is now in process of completion, and the addition to the Massachusetts Field School building is progressing rapidly, the walls having been constructed, and the structure about ready to receive the roof.
These structures have, with few exceptions, been erected according to the regulations of the city, without, undue friction between the Inspector and contractors. Practically all of the violations of the ordinance have been done by contractors from the adjoining towns in which no regulations were in force, and at the request of the Inspector these conditions have been remedied. -
In closing I want to thank the contractors and others connected with the building trades for the goodwill and courtesy extended to this office in the past, and I hope our relations will continue the same in the future.

REPORT OF BOARD OF SURVEY
REPORT OF BOARD OF SURVEY
JANUARY 1, 1924.
To His Honor Mayor GUSTAVE B. BATES and Members of the City Council.
GENTLEMEN: - The Board of Survey respectfully submits herewith its ninth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1923.
The Board organized on January 19 for the year 1923, and voted Hon. Eugene R. Stone, chairman, and Patrick F. O'Brien, clerk.
The Board held nine meetings during the year.
The adoption of a plan that would be acceptable to the interested parties, the Glover estate and the Pope estate at Atlantic, was one that required time and study. Several hearings were held and plans made by the Board, the Glover estate and the Pope estate.
Finally a settlement was reached whereby both parties gave land for street between the estates.
Two streets, Holyoke Street in the Atlantic district and Holbrook Road in the Montclair district, were recommended to the City Council for action, but nothing has been done to date. Hearings were held on the following streets:
Stevens Street, School Street to Quincy Avenue.
Williams Street Alstead Street
Catherine C. and Alice C. Pope estate.
Tirrell Street
Carlisle Street
Hughes Street extension
Lurton Street extension
Byron C. Miller estate.

REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
QUINCY, MASS., January 1, 1924.
To His Honor, GUSTAVE B. BATES, Mayor, and Members of the City Council.
DEAR SIR: - I herewith respectfully submit the twenty-fourth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1923.
The following is a summary of the work done by this department during the year 1923.
Lines and grades have been given at the request of property owners of 140 estates.
Plans and estimates have been made as follows:
Proposed new streets
15
Proposed street widening
8
Proposed building lines .
9
Plans for City Planning Board
5
Plans for Board of Survey
4
Plans for legislative hearings

Miscellaneous plans

New Streets
The usual requests for new streets were made by people living on un- accepted streets, but no action was taken until late in the year, when some of the streets were accepted, but no appropriations were made, as it was too late for construction.
The streets in the Quincy Point district, built by the United States government, were formally accepted by the City Council as city streets (see Schedule).
Rebuilding Streets
Coddington Street was rebuilt on the northerly side from Woodward Avenue to Valley Street, a distance of about 1,200 feet. 'The southerly side was rebuilt two years previously.
The rebuilding of Hancock Street between the Boulevard and Neponset Bridge was begun late in the year and continued until cold weather (see Schedule).
Surface Drains
The drainage on Independence Avenue between Goddard Street and Federal Avenue has caused trouble for years, so an additional line was put in to relieve the situation.
242
CITY OF QUINCY
The drainage on Granite Street at the crossing with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad required the attention of a force of men every storm to keep the street open for travel. A new line of pipe was put in and the old line cleaned and repaired.
A tide gate and drain pipes were put in at Parkhurst Street, Houghs Neck, to improve the unhealthy condition of a slough hole that was a source of trouble for a long time (see Schedule).
Permanent Sidewalks
Granolithic walks were constructed in locations where requested (see Schedule).
A new kind of sidewalk was constructed on Coddington Street as a sample, which has a good hard even surface. It is of the tar concrete type, with a special kind of tar product being used. The cost is about one-half that of granolithic.
Automobile Parking
The attention of the authorities has been called to the necessity of providing parking places for automobiles so as to keep them from blocking the main thoroughfares.
Suggested widenings of streets adjacent to the business district have been made, and the taking of the Edwards meadow by the city, supplying a parking space for 1,000 automobiles, has been considered by the City Council, but no definite action has been taken.
Legislative Hearings
Considerable interest is taken each year at the State House.in matters pertaining to the city of Quincy. The building of the Furnace Brook Parkway between Hancock Street and Newport Avenue, going under the tracks of the Old Colony Railroad was passed by the Legislature, an appropriation of $135,000 being allowed. When this section is completed it will connect the Quincy Shore Reservation with the Blue Hill Reserva- tion.
City Playgrounds
The city playgrounds are receiving attention and are being enlarged and improved both for the use of the children and for athletics.
Viewing stands are now installed at all the playgrounds.
Efforts are being made to have playgrounds at Montclair, Squantum and Houghs Neck.
Grade Crossings
Nothing being done in the elimination of grade crossings in Quincy. The work started in the extension of Upland Road to Granite Street opposite the Quincy Depot has been finished and the road opened to travel. The wooden footbridge on Saville Street, over the railroad tracks, is com- pleted and opened to the public but is not generally used.
Neponset Bridge
The new bridge being constructed on Hancock Street over the Neponset River is nearing completion and will be an attractive structure.
The bridge is a concrete arch type, with granite-faced piers and a steel draw span.
Total length of bridge, 776 feet; two roadways 28 feet each; two side- walks 6 feet each; and two cartracks along center of bridge.
243
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
New High School
The construction of the new high school which was begun in February, 1922, was stopped in January, 1923, because the contractor doing the work went into bankruptcy. Work could not be started again until a settle- ment was made with the Bonding Company.
New bids for the work were received and a new contract awarded to the John A. Bowen Company.
Work was begun again September 1, 1923, and is progressing rapidly, the contractor agreeing to have the building completed by June 30, 1924.
For financial statement, see Auditor's report.
Yours respectfully,
PATRICK F. O'BRIEN, City Engineer.
