MR. GERHARD F. SHAFER Sponsor's Agent Work Projects Administration Quincy, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Schafer:
I am submitting this report of the W.P.A. activities and accom- plishments over the entire year of 1939.
Your official duties as Sponsor's Agent of W.P.A. started on February 1, 1939. We wish to express appreciation for the co-opera- tion shown by all the various departments of the city government in carrying out the aims and objectives of the projects sponsored by the city with W.P.A. assistance.
This assistance amounting to approximately $800,000 from the Federal Government is based strictly on Quincy sponsored projects involving an average personnel of 1,038 people for the year 1939.
Many valuable physical benefits have been returned to Quincy through this expenditure which could never have been carried on by the normal functions of the local government. The development of Montclair Playground comprising of the relocated baseball field, bleachers, backstop, skating rink, tennis courts, and wire fence en- closure is probably the best complete playground development in Massachusetts of this particular nature. The development of the Houghs Neck Playground, relocating the baseball field, fill and grading right field, backstop and bleachers, is another notable addi- tion to our Parks and Playground system.
Adams Field at Merrymount Park was dedicated by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams and Hon. Mayor Thomas S. Burgin for the 1939 baseball season. This project was a much needed addition to the Park Department development and is considered one of the best baseball fields in Massachusetts. The diamond, two bleachers and backstop were relocated, the field enclosed by a 7' chain link fence, and landscaped.
The Kincaide Park project now in process of construction will be comparable to Montclair and LaBrecque Playgrounds when fin- ished but superior to either on enclosure as this project will have a seam-face wall and capstone of Quincy granite.
The Ward 4 Field House, dedicated in 1939, is one of the projects referred to by the State W.P.A. officials as perfect of its type. The building has 1,104 square feet of floor area, contains showers, toilets, and fireplace, and has been landscaped.
Many W.P.A. accomplishments are not visible to the public when completed. The confining of the waters of Town Brook from Rail- road Culvert through the Parking Area was one of our best pro- jects for physical values to the city. The construction which con- sisted of a concrete box culvert 10 ft wide, 5 ft. 6 inches high and 1260 ft. long, and the laying of 1311 ft. of 10 inch drain pipe and 12 manholes are part of this asset to the city not visible now to the general public.

CITY OF QUINCY
The Federal W.P.A. Congressional Act of 1939 makes it manda- tory for all local sponsors to contribute twenty-five cents for every seventy-five cents the Federal Government allots to the community; therefore it is quite evident we should continue the same type of worthwhile physical value Federal Projects as in the past.
The Hitchcock Quarry Project has been revised by the Federal Government as to operating costs since May, 1939. We charge all granite produced at site to the consuming project on location.

REPORT OF THE CITY PLANNING BOARD
January 3, 1940
HONORABLE THOMAS S. BURGIN Mayor of the City of Quincy
Dear Sir:
We herewith submit the twenty-fifth annual report of the City Planning Board.
In the past year the W. P. A. continued to make studies and plans of needed improvements in the City. A continued study was made of the parallel route to Hancock Street, the proposed Foster Street and Cottage Street widening, and of the parking conditions in the Edwards Meadows, now the Municipal Parking Area. These plans are now on file in the City Engineer's office.
The Board wishes to call your attention again to the vital neces- sity of a new cemetery location, and that something be done about this matter this year.
The Planning Board wishes to thank the W.P.A. officials for the co-operation and interest they have shown in assisting the Board.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER W. HOLLAND ROBERT A. ZOTTOLI JOHN A SANDISON GUSTAF E. WESTHRIN

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SURVEY
January 3, 1940
HONORABLE THOMAS S. BURGIN Mayor of the City of Quincy
Dear Sir:
We herewith submit the twenty-fourth annual report of the Board of Survey.
During the year, hearings were held on several petitions.
A public hearing was held on the petition to change the name of Pasonagesset Knoll to Shore Avenue. After hearing various per- sons speak in favor of the change, the Board voted to change the name Pasonagesset Knoll to Shore Avenue.
Final approval was voted on the layout of Ellis Street and Wal- lace Road in Ward Four.
A number of other meetings were held to discuss ways and means to encourage the development of the remaining undeveloped property in the City, as we feel the time is not far away when the City of Quincy will have another building boom.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS F. R. LANGELIER, Chairman JOHN J. MANNING, SAM WOOD.

The cleaning of streets is done by crews in each ward of the city. One Elgin sweeper is used during the night time on our main streets. Another sweeper is very badly needed, as Edgestones have been laid on many of our streets and much hand labor could be eliminated by its use.
Snow removal has not been very difficult this year but much sanding has been required to keep the highways and sidewalks safe for travel.
Surface treatment of streets has not been extensive and I greatly regret that the appropriations would not allow additional expendi- tures on this work as I believe surface treatment would prolong the life of many streets.
301
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
The sidewalk repairs have been undertaken where necessity re- quired, but no new sidewalks have been built during the year, ex- cept those constructed by the W.P.A.
The expenditure for maintenance of equipment was large as no new equipment has been purchased and present equipment must be kept in as good repair as possible.
STREET LIGHTING
During the latter part of the year a reduction was made in light- ing rates by the Quincy Electric Light and Power Company, to the city.
The following street lights are in use December 31, 1939:
Overhead

The regular work of the department is continually increasing.
This department has entire charge of the street flower beds in this city, including the traffic circle at Fore River Bridge and this year there has been added the care of Kendall Park. All plants are raised at the city greenhouse. A new greenhouse is greatly needed.
The trees purchased by the city this year have been planted in conjunction with the W.P.A. About two thousand trees have been planted.
Much tree trimming has been necessary this year as the result of the hurricane of last year.
Spraying for Gypsy and Brown Tail moths has been carried on as usual.
Much credit should be given to Superintendent Andrew Stewart for the very fine work of this department.

CITY OF QUINCY
This year there has been added to the equipment for garbage collection six new Dodge trucks equipped with sanitary bodies. The results have been very satisfactory. Four additional units should be purchased to complete the fleet.
The price of garbage to farmers has been reduced to $.50 per cubic yard. Therefore the receipts for the sale of garbage has been but $8,668.75, a reduction of $4,286.25 over the receipts of last year.
GARAGE AND STABLE
All city owned equipment (with the exception of the Fire De- partment) has been serviced and repaired at the garage and charges made to the respective departments.
The City Stable is closed during the Summer and is used in the Winter months to care for the horses loaned to the city for use on sidewalk plows.
MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES
The number of street parks and flower beds have been increased during the year to the number of seventy-eight. Including the traffic circle at the Fore River Bridge there has been expended the sum of $6,278.34 for this work which I believe, is a great benefit to the city.
All traffic signs and directional lines have been painted and maintained at a cost of $8,146.24.
This year the department furnished and erected about 130 Christ- mas tree stands. The Chamber of Commerce furnished the trees and paid for trimming and lighting. The results were very satisfactory and this will probably be repeated and extended next Christmas.
The cost of the collection of rubbish is increasing due to the diffi- culty of obtaining suitable dumps and the long haul to the present dumps.
It is my opinion that an incinerator is greatly needed.
The receipts for cleaning cesspools this year was $1,117.00, while there was expended for this work $1,565.57.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
WEST QUINCY FIRE STATION
The new West Quincy Fire Station was completed this year at a cost of approximately $51,000.00.
Mr. George E. Robinson was the architect and John Hamre and Sons were the contractors.
The building was constructed with the help of a 45% grant by the Federal Government under P.W.A.
The building is well placed, at the junction of Copeland and Miller Streets.
The design is pleasing, and the construction very substantial. It is a valuable addition to our list of public buildings.
NURSES' HOME
An addition to the Nurses' Home on Whitwell Street has been completed. The building is four stories in height, first class con- struction, with eighty bedrooms and necessary laboratories and reading rooms.
It was designed by Hutchins and French, Architects, and M. S. Kelliher Co., Contractors. A P.W.A. grant of 45% of the cost was made by the Federal Government.
The addition, with furnishings, cost approximately $151,000.00.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SEWER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
January 2, 1940.
MR. EZEKIEL C. SARGENT Commissioner of Public Works, Quincy, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
I respectfully submit the report of the Public Works Department, Sewer Division, for the year ending December 31, 1939.
For financial statement see Auditor's Report.
Construction
Three and four one-hundredths miles of common sewers were laid this year, the location of which and other particulars are shown on a table accompanying this report. The work was confined mainly to the Germantown and Squantum sections of the city.
A special line of 10-inch cast iron pipe with patented Victualic pipe couplings was laid from Avalon Park through the Standard Oil Co. property to the new Procter and Gamble plant at Wharf Street, Quincy Point.
This department also constructed all new storm water and sur- face drains, a tabulation of which will be found in the City En- gineer's report for this year.
Numerous petitions for the installation of sanitary sewers and drainage work are on file and will be taken care of in 1940.
Maintenance
We have at present one hundred sixty miles of sewers, several miles of which have been in operation from thirty-five to forty years. The main sewer lines were estimated to reach their capacity at the expiration of this period, and at certain times now, they are taxed to their limit. It is necessary to keep these pipe lines clean both from a sanitary standpoint and also to obtain the benefit of the full capacity of the pipe.
In order to properly maintain the sewerage system, it is quite necessary to keep a crew of men making repairs and cleaning pipe lines at least ten months in the year. This will require a substantial increase in the appropriation for this work.
Particular Sewers
Two hundred seventy-six connections were made to the sewer to take care of two hundred eighty-one buildings located by wards as follows:
Ward 1 80
Ward 4 42
Ward 2 14
