January 1, 1943.
HONORABLE CHARLES A. ROSS Mayor, City of Quincy Quincy, Massachusetts
My dear Mayor:
I respectfully submit the annual report of the Fire and Police Signal Department for the year ending December 31, 1942.
All Fire Alarm, Police Signal, Traffic and Air Raid Communi- cations were efficiently operated and maintained during the past twelve months.
Great difficulty was experienced in obtaining supplies and material and numerous improvisations were resorted to in order to maintain all services.
Additions to all systems were made and changes on pole con- structions were more numerous than any year since the last war.
Due to the present emergency details of work accomplished must of necessity be confidential.
Very truly yours, THOMAS J. SMITH, Supt.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
January 2, 1943.
HONORABLE CHARLES A. ROSS Mayor of the City of Quincy
Dear Sir:
I am herewith respectfully submitting the forty-third annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending De- cember 31, 1942.
The various requests pertaining to engineering from the different departments of the Cit" were duly considered and the proper action taken. The meetings of the City Council and Finance were attended and any desired information supplied. The usual functions connected with the City Clerk's office and the City Solicitor's office were executed promptly as well as the routine work in the Ceme- tery, Park and all other departments.
Tax Collector
A total of 785 requests from attorneys and individuals asking for information regarding betterments and liens were referred to this office by the Tax Collector; also 4,291 descriptions to be used in the advertising of Tax Sales.
Building Department
Requests from 226 applicants for permits to build or move build- ings were referred to this department. Each site was visited by the City Engineer and the grade established.
Assessors
During the year it is estimated that there were approximately 2,260 transfers of property as against 2,616 in 1941. The usual number of assessors' tracings were made during the year to re- place those that were worn out, and several plans to be used for tax appeal cases were made upon request.
Sewers and Drains
From the detailed schedules attached you will note that there were 1.34 miles of sewers completed as well as 1.18 miles of drains.
Street Construction
Conditions brought about by the war have seriously curtailed street construction so that but two streets, First and Armory, were the only ones given a permanent surface during the year.
The City Council voted to accept 12 streets for a total of 1.43 miles. Four widenings were also voted.
179
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
The U. S. Government after considering the seriousness of traffic conditions around the Fore River plant appropriated the necessary funds to construct the entire length of East Howard Street, the extension of Des Moines Road from Chubbuck Street to the South- ern Artery and South Street from Washington Street to Cleverly Court. The minimum width will be 50 feet and the greater portion of East Howard Street will be 60 feet. These streets will be of permanent construction, including curbing, sidewalks and other necessary work pertaining thereto.
The total cost of the construction amounting to over $200,000 will be entirely borne by the U. S. Government. It was necessary for the City to make the layouts and assume all the costs of prop- erty damage.
The work was advertised the latter part of the year and con- struction has been started under the direction of the Department of Public Works, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It should be completed by June 1, 1943. It would be impossible to exaggerate the benefits that these new arteries will afford to traffic conditions in the Fore River section.
Sidewalks
No granolithic sidewalks were built and but one amiesite side- walk.
Details of lengths, locations and types of the various con- structions will be found in the accompanying schedules.
In conclusion, I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor, members of the City Council, Department Heads and the personnel of this department for their cooperation and support.
Very truly yours,
GERHARD F. SCHAFER, City Engineer.
