HOUGH'S NECK SEA WALL
Under a special appropriation made in 1934, the Sea Wall on Edge- water Drive has been completed during the year 1935. The sum of $15,759.55 has been expended for the work during the year.
SANITARY DIVISION
Maintenance New Equipment
$123,442.22 4,165.94
$127,608.16
Seventeen trucks are regularly engaged in the collection of rubbish and garbage throughout the city. It is necessary however to employ additional trucks for collection during some portion of the year.
The care of dumps for rubbish is causing much trouble for the de- partment. The sum of $7,911.80 being expended last year in furnish- ing cover and caring for same. The numerous fires which occur on these dumps is very annoying to the public as well as to the depart- ment.
Last year at the disposal plant 12,725 cubic yards of garbage were sold and 160 cisterns were cleaned by the department.
The new equipment purchased for the division were:
One Ford Coupe.
Two Dodge dump-body garbage trucks.
New Cesspool tank and cradle.
GYPSY MOTH
Maintenance New Equipment
$16,498.16 616.45
$17,114.61
This department has been particularly active this year. In addition to its regular appropriation E. R. A. and W. P. A. labor has been available for Gypsy Moth Control, Tree Trimming and Tree Surgery Projects. Moth egg clusters were sprayed and creosoted throughout the entire city. Wild cherry trees have been cut and cleaned in in- fested areas. Trees have been cleaned of dead limbs and many scars have been filled and treated.
A much needed greenhouse has been partially completed at the Penn Street nursery with W. P. A. labor and in the spring the department will have about 10,000 potted plants and 10,000 pansy plants for the numerous flower beds in the city.
Land has been reclaimed and graded with screened loam for the transplanting of trees and shrubs.
During the year about 800 trees have been planted throughout the city with E. R. A. labor and we hope to continue this work this year.
About 330 bills for spraying trees and private property and 15 bills for trimming trees have been rendered and committed to the City Treasurer for collection.
Where tree trimming is necessary for the operation of the Quincy Electric Light & Power the work is superintended by this department and the cost is assumed by the company.
One new Dodge Coupe has been purchased by the department this year.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF SEWER DEPARTMENT
Hon. Thomas S. Burgin, Mayor.
City of Quincy, Mass.,
Practically all work on sewer and drain construction performed by this department during the year 1935 was carried on under Federal E. R. A. P. W. A. and W. P. A. regulations. E. R. A, was superseded in October by W. P. A. and sewer and drain extensions were installed by this method.
Two P. W. A. projects No. 1985 and No. 2051 begun in June, 1934 were substantially complete with the finish of the main pipe lines in Curlew Road, Adams Shore and Stoughton Street in the Willows.
Docket No. 1985. a drainage project. involved the construction of a reinforced culvert 8'-6" x 5' and 7'-6" x5' in size and about 2500 feet long located in Brook Road from School Street to Liberty Street, the construction of lateral pipe lines to the main culvert and the elimina- tion of the open brook through the Ward 3 Playground.
The construction of a reinforced concrete culvert in Furnace Brook where it crosses Adams Street. The regrading and relocation of a por- tion of Furnace Brook from a point east of Willow Avenue to west of Adams Street.
The construction of a tide gate chamber at the outlet of Montelair Brook in Sagamore Creek. The piping of the brook from the tide chamber to West Squantum Street with about 1000 feet of 60 inch re- inforced concrete pipe; the removal of the old stone culvert in West Squantum Street and Holbrook Road and the substitution of pipe at a lower grade at these points. This project was completed and in opera- tion in June 1935.
P. W. A. Docket No. 2051, a sanitary sewer project, comprised the installation of about six miles of sewers in Squantum, Adams Shore, Post Island and the Willows section of Houghs Neck. Slow progress was made on this project and costs exceeded the estimate to quite a degree. Upon completion of pipe laying, late this year, a final in- spection revealed serious defects in the main line in Curlew Road and Mallard Road, necessitating the re-laying of considerable pipe in this section before connection can be made with the South Metropolitan High-Level Sewer.
The excess cost in unit prices over the original estimate can be at- tributed to several causes, chiefly the inability to secure efficient and experienced labor. During the peak of the work over five hundred men were employed on this docket, all procured from the National Re- employment Service Office, and not over 10 or 15% of these men had any previous experience on sewer construction. Work was carried on throughout the severe winter months greatly increasing the unit costs.
Conditions were encountered which the preliminary survey could not show; unusual amount of ground water; existence of more ledge than anticipated and of such character and at such depths as to make its removal very expensive. It was also necessary to leave in place a larger amount lumber than was anticipated for the protection of the sewer line and other existing structures.
While these projects provided work for a large number of men it is only logical to use the type of men accustomed to this sort of work in order to produce economically and efficiently.
We have found it very difficult and unsatisfactory to carry on a job of this particular type on a force account basis under Federal Regu- lations as applied.

REPORT OF SEWER DEPARTMENT
Particular Sewers
179 house connections were made with the common sewer this year, thirty-three of which were new and one hundred and forty-six old or existing buildings, an indication that new building construction is still far below normal. The total length in connections was 8,527.0 feet making the average cost per connection $43.87.
