In conjunction with the grading of the North Junior High School grounds, we planted twenty-five hundred shrubs, in accordance with plans as submitted by Herbert S. Kellaway, and thirty-six poplar trees were set out at the Houghs Neck Hose House.
We furnished and decorated Christmas trees at the Central Junior High School, North Junior High School, Beale Street oppo- site the Library, West Quincy at the Fire Station and Community Tree at Coddington Street. Also trees at City Hall grounds.
Our nursery on Penn Street contains about two thousand trees, raised from seedlings, also various shrubs.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SEWER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
(For Financial Statement see Auditor's Report)
Sewer Construction
Four and eight-tenths miles of common sewers were built by the Sewer Department this year. About one-half of this mileage was constructed in Squantum making approximately five miles com- pleted in this section.
In the spring of 1932 it is proposed to build two short connec- tions of sewer from East Squantum Street to the new pumping station now under construction and to extend the main sewer about twelve hundred feet along the east shore to Huckins Avenue. Con- struction of sewers in the Squatum district has been a little more difficult than the average on account of the character of the soil. It is expected, however, that the system and pumping station will be ready to operate in July, 1932.
