REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council :
GENTLEMEN :- I herewith respectfully submit the thirty-fourth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1933.
This department is called upon by almost every department connected with the City for some sort of engineering. During the course of the year the calls were so varied that it is prac- tically impossible to itemize each request, but work done for some of the departments is as follows:
City Council
Plans and estimates were prepared for all projects brought before the City Council requiring public hearings, such as the taking of lands for street purposes, playgrounds, schools, etc.
All orders that were passed on the acceptance of streets and land takings were also prepared by this department. The City Engineer attends all meetings of the Council and its Finance Com- mittee to furnish them with whatever information they desire in regards to costs of various projects proposed by them.
City Clerk
All plans for acceptance of streets and land takings are pre- pared and furnished to the City Clerk, who in turn places them on record with the Council Order. A copy of all reports on acci- dents is received from the City Clerk and immediately investigated by this department in preparation for any suit that may be brought against the City.
City Solicitor
The City Solicitor calls upon the Engineer to appear at any court action brought against the City to testify in his capacity. Descriptions of land takings for street widenings or any other municipal purposes are prepared by this department for the City Solicitor. The City Engineer makes contact with individuals whose property is taken and prepares all the information, to- gether with a deed, for the takings and furnishes the same to the City Solicitor.
Tax Collector
Information is furnished upon request of the Tax Collector for street and sidewalk betterments on properties which are being checked up by attorneys or individuals; 306 of these requests were received during the year and information furnished. This department furnishes all descriptions on parcels of land that are to be advertised and sold for taxes. In 1933 there were approx- imately 4,000 descriptions furnished the Tax Collector.
Assessors' Department
Plans are prepared for the Assessors' Department and kept up to date so that their plans are complete as of April first, for assessing purposes. These plans show each parcel of land in the
390
CITY OF QUINCY
City and the buildings thereon, together with the name of the owner and the area of the parcel.
A copy of the transfer of all properties is obtained from the Norfolk Registry of Deeds and the Norfolk District Registry of Land Court, from which changes on these plans are made. A copy of all the new building permits issued during the year are ob- tained from the Building Department, which are located and meas- ured in the field and plotted on these plans. During the year there were approximately 3,500 transfers of ownership of prop- erties requiring the time of one assistant most of the year making changes. As it is necessary to make considerable erasures on these plans their life is rather short. Approximately 100 new plans were made during the year.
Park Department
The Park Commissioners call upon this department to lay out the various playgrounds with baseball diamonds, soccer fields and football fields during the year.
The City of Quincy obtained Fore River Field and the Fore River Club House during 1932, and in the early part of 1933 re- modelled the Club House in part, using labor obtained from the Citizens' Unemployment Bureau, with the City furnishing all materials. This Club House, which had become very much dilapi- dated, was repaired and put in very fine condition and has been used as a community center since its repair.
The stands were repaired and the fence removed that enclosed this field.
The field was very acceptable at this time, as the Ward 2 Play- ground has been used as a borrow pit during the year, otherwise this section would be without a public playground.
The filling in of the Montclair Playground was continued during the year, making quite a considerable area now available for use.
The property used for a water tower on Penn's Hill has been transformed from one of Nature's wildest locations into a beau- tiful landscape garden.
The wild brush was removed and in its place have been con- structed paths, rock gardens, flower beds and retaining walls, making this one of the beauty spots of this section.
This work was all done by welfare labor under the supervision of Mr. Andrew Stewart, the City Forester.
Cemetery Department
The grading of the lower end of the Mount Wollaston Cemetery was continued during the year by welfare labor.
Several sections were laid out into lots by this department dur- ing the year.
Building Department
All applications for a permit to build or move any building in the City are referred to this department to establish the grade at which such building shall be constructed.
This work is personally done by the City Engineer, who visits each site before establishing the grade.
The purpose of this is to eliminate the construction of buildings so low that it is impossible to connect the same with sewer and drain. Also to see that the alignment with other structures is adhered to.
This section was added to the Building Ordinance in 1929 and has been a great benefit to both the City and the owners.
391
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
An additional charge of two dollars is made for this service, and during the year 185 applications were inspected, which amounted to $370.00, which was deposited with the Treasurer as receipts of the Engineering Department.
Lines and Grades
Lines and grades are given to property owners on accepted streets upon request. These requests generally are made when an owner is contemplating grading his property or building a wall or fence. The usual number of requests were made and lines and grades given.
Sewers
The sewers that are constructed in the City are planned and laid out by this department. During the year 3.18 miles of main sewer was constructed, for itemized list of these sewers see Com- missioner of Public Works Report under Sewer Division.
The installation of sewers in Squantum was continued, the main line along the shore on the east side was extended to Huckins Avenue with all intersecting streets connected to the same.
Sewers were extended from Bates Avenue to Quincy-Milton Heights, which includes Shawmut Street, Gridley Street, Emerald Street and Ferriter Street. This required a main line through private lands to reach these streets, making it necessary to con- struct through a great deal of ledge and bowlders.
A main line was extended from Des Moines Road through pri- vate lands to connect with Charlesmount Avenue, Burns Avenue and South Street.
These streets have had the sewer installed for sometime but have not been available for use.
All sewers were constructed by the Sewer Division of the Pub- lic Works Department under the supervision of Walter S. Mc- Kenzie, superintendent.
The total main sewers in place in the City to date is 143.218 miles.
Surface Drains
There were 1.882 miles of storm water sewer installed during the year varying in sizes from 8" to 60".
The most important of these was the piping of Sachem Brook from Billings Road to Rawson Road with a 60-inch concrete pipe. Another of importance was the installation of a drain in Glencoe Place to Scammell Street.
For itemized list see schedule attached.
All drains were constructed by the Sewer Division of the Public Works Department with concrete pipe.
The work of compiling plans of the drains that have been in- stalled was continued during the year and will be quite an asset to the City when completed.
Accepted Streets
There were 20 streets accepted during the year, making a total length of 3.297 miles.
For itemized list see schedule attached.
Owing to the difficulty of obtaining finances these streets were not built but will be ready for the program of 1934:
Fenno Street and Rice Road were subgraded and widened to fifty feet by labor received from the Citizens' Unemployment Bureau and the Welfare.
392
CITY OF QUINCY
The public-spirited citizens of Quincy contributed to this Bureau to give men and women out of employment an opportunity to work. The City furnished all materials and equipment for work done by this labor.
In 1932 streets were accepted but not constructed; the majority of these were subgraded during 1933.
For itemized list see schedule attached.
Street Widenings
There were no major street widenings during the year.
The Southern Artery between South Street and Quincy Avenue was widened by labor furnished by the Citizens' Unemployment Bureau. The bank at this location was cut back twenty feet.
Rebuilt Streets
As there were no appropriations for rebuilding streets there was no program during 1933.
Granolithic Sidewalks
No appropriation was made by the City Council for granolithic sidewalks as they felt the owners of property would not want an additional assessment.
This is the second year that there has been no program on this type of sidewalk.
Asphalt Sidewalks
This type of sidewalk has become quite in demand in the past few years, which is probably due to the reason that there is no betterment assessed for it.
During the year 6.75 miles of this type of sidewalk was con- structed. For itemized list see schedule attached.
Duplicate Street Name Changes
The Board of Survey held several hearings on duplicate street names, and during the year 72 street names were changed.
All owners were notified and all city plans and records were changed.
As the City Engineer is Clerk of this Board, all of this work was done by this department.
PWA
President Roosevelt's Public Works Program was announced in July, and after several inquiries for information pertaining to this program application was made for loans and grants on sewer construction, surface drainage, streets and sidewalks.
The City Council authorized the borrowing of about $750,000 to take part in this program.
Several conferences were held with the State and Federal Boards controlling this program.
The efforts of this department were concentrated on the sewer and surface drainage of this program. Surveys and plans are now well under way in anticipation of starting this work about April first, 1934.
The Sewers to be installed are at Adams Shore and the Willows Section of Houghs Neck. The Metropolitan Sewer Commission has completed the new Pumping Station at Lee Street, which will
393
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
accept the sewerage of these two sections together with Weymouth and Braintree.
Extension of the Squantum System is also included.
The drainage program will include the piping of Montclair Brook from West Squantum Street to Sagamore Creek, the cover- ing of Town Brook from Fort Square to Liberty Street through Brook Road, eliminating this Brook through the Henry L. Kin- caide Playground and the John Hancock School Yard and the con- struction of a new culvert under Adams Street at the Furnace Brook.
These projects will help to relieve the unemployment situation during 1934.
C WA
The Federal Government created the Civil Works Program on November 16, 1933, to assist in relieving the unemployment situ- ation until the P W A Program was under way.
The Federal Government furnished the labor and part of the materials on Public Works Projects that could be completed by February 1, 1934.
The City of Quincy was allotted $200,000 for this program, and Mr. Roland Broberg, the Welfare Commissioner, was appointed as Administrator for Quincy.
All employees were assigned by the Federal Employment Bu- reau to these projects.
Projects had to be submitted to the State C W A officials at Boston for approval, which took considerable time as all munici- palities in the State were making application at the same time.
For list of projects approved see attached schedule.
This was an emergency relief program and required work to begin immediately to relieve the unemployed.
The City of Quincy was able to increase its quota to about $375,000 by its willingness to co-operate. The total appropriation for the State had to be assigned within a short period of time, so when any municipality did not apply for their full quota this balance was assigned to other cities and towns who would submit additional projects.
This work is well under way and will help the City both mate- rially and financially.
I wish at this time to extend my appreciation for the co-opera- tion I have received from his Honor the Mayor, Members of the City Council, City Officials and the personnel of this department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
WALLACE S. CARSON, City Engineer.
