REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


QUINCY, MASS., January 1, 1926.


To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council :


DEAR SIR :- I herewith respectfully submit the twenty-sixth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1925.


Lines and grades were given on request of property owners in all parts of the city.


Approximately 100.


Rebuilding Streets


On account of our tercentenary celebration in June, 1925, most of our rebuilding was done before this time.


Hancock Street was rebuilt from north of Beale Street to Merry- mount Park, a distance of about 2,700 feet. This was done by con- tract by the A. G. Tomasello Company and was a recut paving block on a four inch concrete base.


West Elm Avenue from Elm Avenue to Billings Road was rebuilt with a macadam road, also East Elm Avenue to Huntington Square.


Amiesite


Amiesite was used on Copeland, Willard and Water Streets over the granite block pavement which opened a new smooth road artery into South Quincy from East Milton, thereby relieving part of the traffic on Adams Street.


Amiesite was also used on Adams Street from Newport Avenue to Hancock Street and on Hancock Street in Quincy Square from Saville Street to Granite Street.


Amiesite was also used on some sidewalks.


New Streets


There were approximately 11,376 feet of new accepted streets constructed (see schedule). This work was started in July and was completed about the first of November.


Surface Drains


There were approximately 17,840 feet of storm drains placed in various streets (see schedule) .


The drain on Newport Avenue was a very needed piece of drain- age, relieving a very serious situation at Lincoln Avenue where all the surface water from the northerly side of Wollaston Hill was flowing onto the railroad tracks causing washouts.


Sewers


Lines and grades were given on 4.04 miles of sewer which was laid during the year.


Plans were also made of over five miles of sewer which was laid in 1924 for assessment purposes.


290


CITY OF QUINCY


Assessment Plans


Part of the assessors' plans were added to by placing frontages on all of the lots and putting plot numbers on each parcel.


There were over 3,600 new transfers of properties that were also properly placed for the Assessors Department.


Cemeteries


There was an additional part of the new cemetery at Mt. Wollas- ton staked out into lots and a fence placed on the Merrymount Road side.


Permanent Sidewalks


There were 5,930 square yards of Granolithic sidewalks placed on various streets throughout the city (see schedule).


Public Buildings


The New Junior High School at the corner of Hancock and East Squantum Streets was started. Borings were taken on the site and it was found necessary to put piles under the foundations.


The New Police Station on Sea and Valley Streets was also started and the foundations are practically all in.


A maternity ward is also under construction at the City Hospital which is a much needed addition to this institution.


For financial statement see auditor's report.


Respectfully submitted,


WALLACE S. CARSON, City Engineer.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS


To His Honor, the Mayor and the President and Members of the City Council.


GENTLEMEN :- The Board of Managers of the Hospital Depart- ment respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31st, 1925.


The personnel of the Board was entirely changed on January 5th, the members being:


Charles A. Price, Chairman.


Maurice P. Spillane, Secretary.


George Taylor.


John O. Golbranson.


Herman G. Bryan.


Early in the year we met with a severe loss in the death of Miss Etta May Bagley, the efficient and beloved Superintendent of the hospital.


During Miss Bagley's illness Miss Ruth J. Adie, formerly assist- ant to Miss Bagley, took charge, and her work was so satisfactory that the Board offered her the position of Superintendent, and she is now in active service.


We were obliged to accept, with deep regret, the resignations of Drs. Elmon R. Johnson and Francis Ramon Burke from the staff, both of whom have given many years of faithful and efficient serv- ice to the hospital.


The great need of the hospital for a long time has been for a proper building and we now have nearly finished a building with eighty-one (81) beds, one floor of which is for children and one for maternity cases.


Our X-Ray Department has been greatly enlarged during the year.


Dr. Wheatley felt that he must resign, and we engaged Dr. Charles Whelan of Boston to act as Roentgenologist, and are now giving X-Ray treatments.


We now very much need a nurses' home, large enough to house


296


CITY OF QUINCY


all of our nurses and maids, as the present arrangement is unsat- isfactory from every standpoint. We sincerely trust that you will give this matter early and favorable consideration.


We gratefully acknowledge your hearty co-operation, the gener- ous contributions and the active and helpful interest of the Hos- pital Aid Association, the churches and other organizations of the city, and the many words of appreciation and suggestions from our patients and citizens.


The financial statement of the operations of the past year, to- gether with the report of the Superintendent, are annexed hereto.


CHARLES A. PRICE, MAURICE P. SPILLANE, GEORGE TAYLOR, JOHN O. GOLBRANSON, HERMAN G. BRYAN, Board of Managers.

X-RAY REPORT


To the Superintendent and Board of Managers Quincy City Hospital.


I herewith submit my report relative to the work done by the X-ray Department for the year 1925:


I. New Laboratory-A large floor space in the basement di- rectly under the operating suite was divided into six rooms arranged in such a manner as to best utilize the X-ray equipment, take care of ambulatory patients with the least possible trouble and insure proper privacy. Besides the above rooms, an ample waiting room was provided by the long corridor which communi- cates conveniently with both old and new buildings. Two dressing rooms and a toilet complete the laboratory.


II. Equipment-The very latest machines and devices were purchased to equip the above rooms with the idea of making the Quincy City Hospital X-Ray Department modern in every respect. This equipment was divided as follows:


Room A. A Victor Snook X-ray machine for treatment work- both deep and superficial-with tube stand, couch, etc.


Room B. A horizontal and vertical fluroscope conveniently ar- ranged not only for the usual gastro-intestinal and chest examina- tions, but also for the localization of foreign bodies and for the reducing of fractured bones.


Room C. A Victor X-ray machine for radiographic work only was installed in this room, which contains also a stereoscopic tube stand, Bucky diaphragm, stereoscopic shifting device for chest work and other apparatus necessary for good X-ray results.


Room D. In this room was placed all the material necessary for developing, fixing and drying films. A soapstone developing tank, a lead-covered closet for protecting films, and electric fans for drying are part of this equipment.


Room E. Illuminated boxes where thirty-six films of the largest size can be placed on exhibition at one time are the main equipment of this room. Here we also have a fireproof steel filing cabinet and a device for viewing stereoscopic films.


Room F. Reserved for an office and bookkeeping room.


A portable bedside unit capable of doing the very best X-ray

work was also provided. This unit is used for those patients who are too sick to be moved to the laboratory.


Service-A twenty-four-hour service is provided by the depart- ment.


Personnel-Two trained technicians, Misses Ann Thompson and Pearl Kennedy, do the bulk of the radiographic work now, where one was formerly employed. The increased amount of work and the desire to give the very best service made this increase in per- sonnel necessary.

The Quincy Hospital Aid Association meets once a month at the Junior High School sewing room during nine months of the year. The dues are but one dollar a year. We do hope that with the added facilities at the hospital which we will have in the near fu- ture many more women will be interested enough to give up one afternoon a month of their time for this valuable work. We are always happy and eager to welcome new workers and members.


At Christmas our association provided gifts, candy, cigars and toys for the patients. During the year our members have visited each month, taking a bit of personal cheer with them. Subscrip- tions to three magazines were given to the nurses and their pins were presented to them at graduation. We only wish our financial condition would allow us to do more for them.

Plans are now being made to raise money for the Scholarship in Public Health Nursing.


We are very grateful to many church societies for the sewing they have accomplished at their meetings. In this way a really large group of women is working for the hospital.


The association always stands ready and willing to help and encourage the Superintendent in her ever-increasing duties.

This association has held all-day sewing meetings regularly from January until December with the exception of July and August. A group of earnest, faithful women sew from ten o'clock in the morning until four-thirty in the afternoon on all kinds of hospital equipment. In this way many articles are completed and returned to the hospital for their use and comfort.


At each meeting a report is given by a member of the visiting committee. In this way the association is kept in close touch with hospital needs and conditions.


At Thanksgiving we try to spread a little cheer by placing flow- ering plants in each ward and at Christmas by decorating ever- green trees and hanging bright-colored bags of candy for each pa- tient obliged to stay through the holiday season.


This association welcomes any opportunity to be of service to our hospital and hopes to accomplish bigger and better things the coming year.


FAYOLINE G. FOX, President.
