CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF THE CITY PLANNING BOARD
JANUARY 1, 1938.
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor of the City of Quincy.
DEAR SIR:
We herewith submit the twenty-third annual report of the City Planning Board.
Several meetings were held during the year.
In the 1935 Report certain recommendations were made. First, the Quincy Adams Overpass, which has been completed, and second, the elimination of the dangerous underpass on Centre Street. Work has been started in Braintree towards this end.
In 1938 the City of Quincy expects to receive money from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under Chapter 90 to reconstruct Centre Street. The City Council accepted and passed the taking of certain lands in conjunction with this Project.
It is gratifying to know that there is enough interest shown in our recommendations to see them carried through.
Respectfully submitted,
WILSON MARSH, Chairman, WALTER W. HOLLAND, JAMES C. HORNE, JOHN A. SANDISON, GUSTAF E. WESTHRIN.
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, Clerk

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SEWER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MAY 13, 1938.
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Office of the Mayor,
Quincy, Massachusetts.
DEAR MAYOR BURGIN:
I respectfully submit herewith the annual report of the Sewer Department for the year 1937.
Respectfully yours,
EZEKIEL C. SARGENT, Commissioner of Public Works.
For financial statement see Auditor's Report.
Tabulations in connection with this report will show the location and other particulars about sewer construction accomplished during the year 1937, the total mileage of the System with lengths and sizes installed each year from the beginning of the System. A record of the Particular Sewers or house connections is also shown. A schedule of surface and storm drainage work performed by this department may be found with the report of the City Engineer.
Construction
Approximately two miles of sanitary sewers of average size but not of average character were built this year. For several reasons the work was slow and expensive. On some of the work unstable ground conditions made necessary the use of piling and reinforced concrete foundations, and on others, the quantity of ledge en- countered slowed up construction.
Particular Sewers
During this year there were 292 buildings connected with the sewer in wards as follows:
Ward 1 90
Ward 4 .36
Ward 2 21 Ward 5 62
Ward 3 16
Ward 6 67
The total number of feet laid in these connections was 13,799 at a cost of $14,037.16, thus making the average cost per foot $1.02. Average length per connection 47.3 feet Average cost per connection
$48.07
Buildings were connected as follows:
Single houses 245
Courthouse 1
2-family houses 15
Recreation 2
3-family houses 2
Sub-station 1
4-family houses

Business 21

Storm Drainage
Besides the construction of new storm and surface drain lines, a considerable amount of repair work was done to existing pipe lines and catch basins for the Highway Division.
Maintenance
On account of the limited funds for sewer maintenance, sewer cleaning and flushing was confined to those sections of the system absolutely requiring attention.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. MCKENZIE, General Foreman, Sewer Division.
