Park Department
Due to the numerous W. P. A. Projects carried on in the various Parks and Playgrounds of the city, much work was done in laying out these improvements. Rather than give even a brief description of the many projects, I will refer you to a complete report by the Park Board, which carries a detailed description.
Sewers
During the year 1.94 miles of main sewers were constructed. All sewers that are constructed in the City are planned and laid out by this department. The large 300 feet to 1 inch scale plan show- ing all sewers, man-holes, etc., was found so satisfactory by the Sewer Department that an additional one is being made for the City Engineer's office.
Walter S. Mckenzie, Superintendent of Sewers, is in charge of all construction work.
For list of Sewers constructed, see attached schedule.
Surface Drains
The work of cleaning, straightening and widening the Furnace Brook and Town Brook was continued under a W. P. A. Project. During the year, the lower end of Town Brook between Washing- ton Street and Bigelow Street was about 75% completed. Work will continue throughout 1939 on these and other W. P. A. Projects.
The survey of the drainage system which was completed in 1937 under a W. P. A. Project has been found very helpful in the lay- ing out and designing of new systems as was the 300 feet to 1 inch scale plan showing the entire drainage system in the City of Quincy.
For schedule of locations, with length and sizes of drains built, see attached list.

CITY OF QUINCY
Accepted Streets
The City Council accepted a number of streets during the year. As some of these streets were accepted too late for construction they are being held over until 1939.
See schedule for accepted streets and accepted streets con- structed.
Street Construction
The amount available for Rebuilt Streets was $270,875.61, which was divided as follows: Street Loans, $200,000.00; Budget, $32,000; Chapter 90, $13,771.11; Balance, $25,104.50. Of this amount $270,- 865.33 was expended.
The program was laid out at the beginning of the year and was carried on with very few changes.
Again this year, the City was able to receive from the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, under Chapter 90, money for the con- struction of a part of Centre Street from the Braintree Town Line, northerly toward Copeland Street. The work was not completed and will carry to 1939.
Willard Street, which was built under Chapter 90, was completed during the year. The Town of Milton constructed their portion of Willard Street from the Quincy Line to the East Milton Railroad Station. With this construction completed the City has a fine Artery in the western part of the City, which, when Centre Street is completed, will furnish a much needed highway.
Curbing
Most of the curbing laid during the year was done by the W. P. A. Curbing Project and will be carried over into 1939. Both granite curb and concrete curb was built. The granite was sup- plied by a W. P. A. Project operating from the Hitchcock Quarries. During the year 6.67 miles of curbing were laid in various parts of the City.
For locations of concrete and granite curbing placed, see at- tached schedule.
Granolithic Sidewalks
For the seventh consecutive year there was no appropriation for this type of work. There was, however, some granolithic side- walk laid under W. P. A. Sidewalk Projects.
For locations, see attached schedule.
Asphalt Sidewalks
In conjunction with the street rebuilding program, as well as accepted streets already built, many feet of this type of sidewalk were constructed, work being done by W. P .A. $47,741.53 from the City's W. P. A appropriation was spent for this type of side- walk.
273
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Streets Rebuilt W. P. A.
Many unaccepted streets were built during the year by W. P. A. labor, for which the City spent $16,995.75 as its share for material and equipment.
For itemized list, see attached schedule.
Conclusion
It has been most unfortunate that the Engineering Department has lost through death, Andrew S. Odom, who has been a faithful and industrious employee in this department for forty-two years.
On March 5, 1938, Fred J. Kiley applied for his pension which was approved by the City Council. Mr. Kiley started work with this department on August 1, 1924.
May I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the co-operation I have received from His Honor the Mayor, Members of the City Council, Department Heads and W. P. A. Officials, also for the loyalty shown, and co-operation extended to me by the personnel of this Department.
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, City Engineer.

REPORT OF THE CITY PLANNING BOARD
January 3, 1939
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN Mayor of the City of Quincy
Dear Sir:
We herewith submit the twenty-fourth annual report of the City Planning Board.
During the year numerous plans and studies made by the W. P. A. were received, discussed, and placed in the files of the City Engineer's office.
One of the studies submitted was a parallel route to Hancock Street starting at the Atlantic railroad bridge, and running west- erly of the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad to Granite Street, thence underpassing the railroad, through the Edwards Meadows to the junction of Water Street and Quincy Avenue.
An extensive study of a proposed new cemetery location was also submitted.
The Board wishes to thank W.P.A. officials for their co-operation and interest in submitting these studies to the Board.
Respectfully submitted,
WILSON MARSH, Chairman, WALTER W. HOLLAND, ROBERT A. ZOTTOLI, JOHN A. SANDISON, GUSTAF E. WESTHRIN.
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, Clerk.
