In the matter of the so-called grade crossing cases, after the proceedings in the Equity Court wherein the City obtained an order against the Railroad compelling it to show cause why it should not proceed with the work, many conferences were held and plans worked out in an attempt to meet the somewhat changed conditions now existing compared with the conditions at the time of the original decree.
Respectfully submitted,
J. J. McANARNEY, City Solicitor.

REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 1, 1929.
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
DEAR SIRS :- I herewith respectfully submit the twenty-ninth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1928.
Owing to the death in November 1928 of the former City En- gineer, Mr. Patrick F. O'Brien, I shall endeavor to write this re- port as complete as possible from what information I can obtain in other departments and records of this department.
Lines and Grades on Accepted Streets
It is customary for this department to give lines and grades on accepted streets upon request of the property owners.
The usual number of requests were made and granted during the year.
Assessors' Plans
The Assessors Plans are kept up to date by this department. They have about 800 plans showing properties over the entire City. These plans show the owners names, areas, lot numbers, plot num- bers and all buildings on each individual property.
During the year there were 3,863 real estate transfers which were changed on these plans.
There were permits issued for 661 dwellings and mercantile buildings; 726 garages; 936 alterations and 81 removals.
These were started and will be located in the field and placed on the Assessors Plans by April 1, 1929 when the Assessors will be ready to use them.
These plans are in very poor condition and before long it will be necessary to make up a new set of tracings. This can be done by doing some each year until complete.
Sewer
There were 7.55 miles of sewer laid out and constructed on 67 streets in various parts of the City.
Squantum which has never been connected with sewer was started. About one mile was laid in various streets including a main sewer on Dorchester Street which is to connect to a pumping station off East. Squantum Street. This station is to be built by the Metropolitan Sewer Commission when we have enough sewer laid in Squantum to warrant it. We feel that this may be started during 1929.
The sewer on Hancock Street north of Saville Street was not deep enough for the modern buildings of to-day, so a lower level sewer has been started on Huntley Road from Woodward Avenue which will take care of all future developments in this section.
For list of sewers see report of Commissioner of Public Works, Sewer Division.

CITY OF QUINCY
Accepted Streets
There were 51 streets accepted during 1928 covering a distance of 6.55 miles in various parts of the City.
There were 4 street widenings passed covering a distance of 0.59 miles.
See schedule on accepted streets.
Street Construction
There were 4.25 miles of new streets constructed in 1928. Some streets that were not finished in 1927 and most of the 1928 streets were completed by the Public Works Department during the year.
Two streets, Harvard Street and Exeter Street were built under contract by Coleman Brothers of Boston.
See schedule of streets constructed.
Rebuilt Streets
There were 4.89 miles of streets rebuilt during the year in vari- ous parts of the City.
Washington Street from the Southern Artery to Chubbuck Street was resurfaced by Warren Brothers under contract, with a four- inch foundation and a Warrenite top.
The other streets were rebuilt by the Public Works Department. See schedule of rebuilt streets.
Drains
There were 6.08 miles of surface drains installed during the year in various parts of the City.
Drains were installed in the new streets that were accepted and built, most of this work being done by the Sewer Division of the Public Works Department.
Coleman Brothers under contract built a 30-inch and 24-inch drain on Water Street and Copeland Street from the Town Brook to Evan's turnout. This was a much needed improvement relieving the low area in Grossman Street and Roberts Street.
This drain also connects with the Smith Street and Garfield Street drain which is carrying the overflow from the Quarry Dis- trict on Quarry Street and is flowing continually.
They also built a 42-inch drain from Phipps Street to Madison Avenue. This drain was for the improvement of the Penn's Hill Drain.
On Exeter Street they built 720 feet of 12-inch drain from North Central Avenue to Norfolk Street, as this street was built by con- tract.
Dennis F. Crowley under contract constructed a double line of 24-inch Armco pipe drain in the so-called Sunny Creek Area.
This area is very low and salt marsh so that this pipe was treated with asphalt to protect it from the salt water. This pipe should be of service for sometime.
See schedule of drains.
Granolithic Sidewalks
William Shea and Company under contract, built 7.51 miles of granolithic sidewalks in various parts of the City. This was on 37 different streets. This work was carried on into November while the weather remained open.
For list of sidewalks see schedule.
261
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Amiesite and Asphalt Sidewalks
There was 6.46 miles of amiesite and asphalt sidewalks con- 'structed on 25 different streets in various parts of the City. This work was done by the Public Works Department.
See amiesite and asphalt sidewalk schedule.
Bridges
West Squantum Street Bridge over the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. was started with new abutments built to allow for four tracks on the Railroad. West Squantum Street was widened to forty feet and the grade raized to allow for the proper clearance over the tracks.
A retaining wall was built on the northerly side of West Squan- tum Street about 220 feet long.
This bridge will be put in place and the approaches completed in the early part of 1929.
Respectfully submitted, WALLACE S. CARSON, City Engineer.
