CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
January 3, 1944.
HONORABLE CHARLES A. ROSS Mayor of the City of Quincy Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Mayor:
The forty-fourth annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1943 is herewith submitted. This report is of necessity brief, due to the curtailment of activities brought about by war restrictions in essential materials.
Such engineering work as was required by the various depart- ments as well as the usual routine work in the office and in the field were attended to promptly. Lines and grades were supplied for sewer and drain construction, sidewalks and street repairs as in- dicated on the accompanying charts.
There was much agitation during the year to have various quarry holes in the city eliminated by filling. The old slate quarry in the Norfolk Downs section was pumped dry and approximately 25,000 cubic yards of solid fill was placed therein. The possibility of transferring this site to the Park Department to be developed as a park is under consideration at the present time.
Wilson's Quarry in West Quincy off Bartlett Street was also filled with the ashes, etc. collected by the Public Works Depart- ment. It is our desire to continue in the future the practice of filling various other quarry holes, and work will be started the first of the year to fill in Barker's Quarry on Quarry Street.
In December the City Council appropriated $10,000 to be spent under the direction of this department in preparing plans and estimates to be used as post war projects. Work was started im- mediately with the personnel of the department working overtime. It is my intention to hire such outside help as may be necessary so that when the time comes we will have a reservoir of at least $5,000,000 in projects prepared.
A major street construction project was completed during the early part of the summer. South Street was widened and con- structed to a width of fifty feet from Washington Street to Clev- erly Court. East Howard Street was widened and constructed to a width of fifty-five and sixty feet from South Street to Quincy Avenue. Des Moines Road was extended and constructed to a width of sixty feet from Chubbuck Street to the Southern Artery.
The entire cost of the construction of these three projects, which amounted to approximately $250,000, was covered by the Federal Aid Act of the United States government under the supervision of the Department of Public Works, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The cost to the City of Quincy was for land damages only and amounted to about $50,000.
161
REPORT OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Two of our men, Edmund J. O'Connell and James F. Kelley, are now in the armed forces of our country. Because of the forced curtailment in engineering work, it has not been found necessary to temporarily fill their places.
May I take this opportunity to thank you personally as well as all the other City officials for the interest and cooperation which this department has received during the year just passed?
Very truly yours, GERHARD F. SCHAFER, City Engineer.

REPORT OF CITY PLANNING BOARD
January 3, 1944
HONORABLE CHARLES A. ROSS Mayor of the City of Quincy Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Mayor :*
We are herewith submitting the twenty-ninth annual report of the City Planning Board and wish to take this opportunity to thank you, the members of the Quincy City Council and the de-' partment heads for the interest and cooperation which we have received from all during the year.
The major achievement during the year was the enactment by the City Council of the zoning ordinance. The Board spent many months in preparing the ordinance, and in May a public hearing was held by the Board, after which minor changes were made before presenting it to the City Council. The City Council held a public hearing and the ordinance was passed as submitted by the Planning Board.
Many other problems of vital interest to the city as a whole have been discussed and plans formulated so that in the near fu- ture they may be presented through you to the City Council for action. There are two major projects which the Board hopes to present early in the coming year:
First, the proposed extension of Mount Wollaston Cemetery con- sisting of a part of Broad Meadows, and a roadway eighty feet in width on the southerly side of the Police Station from the Southern Artery to that part of the Broad Meadows which will remain after the proposed cemetery extension has been approved.
Second, the proposed development of the easterly side of Han- cock Street including the widening of Cottage Avenue, Cottage Street and its extension, Miller Stile Road, Revere Road and the parking area between Hancock and Cottage Streets. It is the unani- mous opinion of the Board that the fulfilling of these plans would greatly increase property values and open up a new district for business.
We are looking forward with interest to the many new problems which will arise during the coming year as the plans for post war rehabilitation progress.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER A. SCHMITZ, Chairman FRED E. AHEARN HARRY H. KERR DELCEVARE KING J. EVERETT ROBBIE

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DIVISION
January 28, 1944
HONORABLE CHARLES A. ROSS
Mayor City of Quincy, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The annual report of the Public Works Department is herewith respectfully submitted.
JAMES P. DONOVAN, Commissioner of Public Works.
The activities of this Department include the Maintenance of Highways, Care of Municipal Buildings, Stable and Garage, the Street Lighting Schedule, the Forestry and Sanitary Divisions. The reports of the Sewer, Water and Cemetery Divisions are also enclosed.
Municipal Buildings
The maintenance of City Hall was carried on as usual the only special repair being the rebuilding of the chimney.
The rental of the annex was reduced in June owing to the fact that the W. P. A. activities had been terminated.
The Squantum Fire Station was added to the list of public buildings after its acceptance by the City last June.
The conversion of the oil heating plants has been completed at the West Quincy, Quincy Point and Central Fire Stations and a coal bin built at the Quincy Point Station.
Gypsy Moth and Forestry
Since there was no special appropriation this Division was unable to expand its Greenhouse and Nursery this year. The flower beds were cared for as usual but owing to shortage of skilled labor the tree planting program was greatly curtailed, only about 300 trees having been planted.
Many Norway maple trees have shown indication of Verticilium Wilt disease and winter injuries from the subzero weather. In. some cases the leaves turned brown in July with a fungus-like growth on the limbs and trunks of the trees which had been injured by the severe weather. Many of these trees will not recover and will have to be removed.
We have worked out a plan to beautify the old Cemetery adja- cent to City Hall. Thirty-eight trees which were in dangerous con- ditions have been removed, but we cannot complete the work until springtime.
173
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
In trimming trees for better lighting service this Department furnished Supervisors and the payrolls for this service were paid to the Treasurer by the Electric Light & Power Company as shown by the Treasurer's Report.
The Stable and Garage
There have been no exterior repairs at this plant. The oil burn- ing equipment has been converted and the buildings are all heated by soft coal.
Sanitary Division
The City Treasurer's report shows the income from the sale of garbage to the various farmers and also the amount of the col- lections for scavenger work. The City Auditor's report shows the cost of the collections of garbage and rubbish and a detailed report of the care of dumps. We are now dumping' the refuse at the Wilson Quarry on Bartlett Street, the Penn Street dump having been closed.
This Department collected salvage for the Defense Council and the amount of the payrolls, $994.90, was credited to the Depart- ment.
Highway General Maintenance
This work includes the upkeep of Streets, Sidewalks, Drains and Tidegates, Equipment Tools and Snow removal.
No special appropriations were available for the Construction of Streets or Sidewalks.
Snow removal activities were greatly hampered by the shortage of labor and equipment. Our own equipment including thirty-nine truck plows, three snow loaders and four bulldozers were all in service so we kept the main arteries open in connection with the Street Railway Company and plowed the side streets.
We hired all available men and equipment during the heavy storms.
Since we had no horses the sidewalks were not plowed.
Snow fences were installed at all exposed locations.
Tar Patching
In addition to our regular tar patching we take care of the Water, Sewer and Gas Trenches following the installation of the Service Pipes. These trenches are filled temporarily and after settling are permanently repaired, and charged to the departments and credited to the Highway Department. The credits received from the Gas Company are credited directly to the Treasurer's Office and are absorbed by the regular fund as shown by the report.
Gutters are paved and repaired as necessary.
Street Repairs
We made street repairs on Hardwick and Ashworth Streets and Faxon Lane where the Water, Sewer and Gas Companies had made openings for the installation of their service pipes.
174
CITY OF QUINCY
The cost of this work appears in the credits to the Department.
The W. P. A. did not finish their Car Rail Project on the Squan- tum line so this Department rebuilt the roadway from Billings Street through Newbury Avenue and Sagamore Street to Hancock Street after they had discontinued their work. The balance of their appropriation reimbursed the Department for labor and equip- ment and materials used.
We also patched and rolled Fenno Street and Rice Road.
Sidewalks
In addition to General Maintenance we installed curbing on the Squantum Causeway, Des Moines Road, Huckins and Standish Avenues, the site of the new Squantum Fire Station, an amiesite sidewalk was laid at Water Street and Faxon Lane where several new houses had been built, also a short stretch of sidewalk on Canal Street, Washington to Brackett Street. Please refer to the report of the City Engineer for distances and exact locations.
The wall supporting the sidewalk on Sagamore Street caved in and fell several feet into the Atlantic Playground and has been partly rebuilt. The Grove Street wall was also replaced.
Street Oiling
We carried on an extensive program of Street Oiling in order to preserve the surface of our roadways, applying blankets of asphalt and crushed stone where most necessary in the various sections of the City as follows:
Ward 1-Butler Road and Butler Road Extension, Bracket Street, Carruth Street, Chestnut Street, Dimmock Street, Merrymount Road also Extension, Putnam, Greenleaf to Butler Road, Palmer Street Revere Road, Southern Artery Hancock Street to River Street, Samoset Avenue, Spear Street, Upland Road 600 feet from Granite Street, Victoria Road, Squanto Road to Shore Avenue and Virginia Road.

This year we placed the Memorial Tablet at the Stone Temple, City Square; collected tin cans and paper; removed sand bags from the windows in the basement at the various School Buildings; cleared Adams Field after the Air Raid Demonstration and took care of the grounds at the Presidents' Houses. Where possible these activities were paid back in the form of credits to the Department.
