When requested, surveys and plans were made for Tax Ap- peal Cases. Several such surveys were made during the year.
Building Department
There were 253 applicants for permits to build or move build- ings referred to this department. The City Engineer personally visited each site and established the grade .
When called upon by the Building Inspector, the Engineer in- spected such buildings and structures that were to be condemned and made his report thereon.
Cemetery
The usual work was carried on in connection with staking of lots and extension of drains and water pipes within Mt. Wollaston Cemetery. The granite wall enclosing the cemetery was completed during the year. The work was done by the W. P. A. and has improved the beauty of the surrounding area.
Park Department
The Park Commissioners called upon this department to lay out baseball and football playing fields on each of their playgrounds during the respective seasons. Much work was done on various playgrounds by the W. P. A. For further details see the W. P. A. report.
Sewers
During the year 3.04 miles of sewers were constructed. The sewers were planned and laid out by this department, and lines and grades, together with progress estimates, were given during construction.
For itemized list of sewers constructed during the year, see attached schedule.

CITY OF QUINCY
Surface Drains
During the year 1.46 miles of surface drains were constructed together with 65 catch basins and 26 manholes.
The cleaning,, straightening and widening of Furnace Brook and Town Brook was continued under a W. P. A. project. That portion of Town Brook from the railroad track, through private property and the City Parking Area was inclosed with a concrete box culvert. The lower end of Town Brook from Hancock Street to Washington Street is still in the process of construction and will be completed early in 1940.
For schedule of locations with lengths and sizes of drains built, see attached list.
Accepted Streets
The City Council accepted a number of streets during the year. Many of the streets that were accepted in 1939 were built, and a number accepted too late for construction were held over until 1940.
See schedule for streets accepted and accepted streets con- structed.
Street Rebuilding
The amount available for Rebuilt Streets was $289,754.21, which was divided as follows: Street Loans, $235,000.00; Budget, $33,- 100.00; Chapter 90, $21,643.93; Balance, 1938, $10.28. Of this amount $282,934.70 was expended. A program was laid out at the beginning of the year and was carried out with very few changes.
Construction of a portion of Centre Street from the Braintree Line, northerly toward Copeland Street, for which the City re- ceived Chapter 90 funds in 1938, was completed and has added materially to the betterment of traffic conditions in that part of the City. The City was unable to receive Chapter 90 money this year to continue the reconstruction of Centre Street, but it is hoped that we will receive assistance in 1940.
Many streets throughout the City were graded and given a treatment of tar and pea stone under a W. P. A. project.
See attached list for locations.
Curbing
Considerable work was done under W. P. A. projects and in connection with the street rebuilding program. The granite curb- ing used on W. P. A. was quarried and cut at the Hitchcock Quarry under another W. P. A. project. Many feet of concrete curbing was constructed.
For locations of concrete and granite curbing see attached schedule.
Granolithic Sidewalks
Again there was no appropriation made by the City Council for this type of work. There were, however, considerable grano-
277
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
lithic sidewalks placed under the W. P. A. sidewalk project. For locations see attached schedule.
Amiesite Sidewalks
Many feet of amiesite sidewalks were constructed with the assistance of the W. P. A. From the City's W. P. A. appropria- tion, $42,455.87 was spent.
Without question, if it were not for the Federal Funds it would be almost impossible to estimate the amount needed for the City to carry on this type of work.
Conclusion
May I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the co-operation I have received from His Honor the Mayor, mem- bers of the City Council, Department Heads and W. P. A. Officials, also for the loyalty shown, and the co-operation extended to me by the personnel of this Department.
Respectfully submitted,
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, City Engineer.
