This basin takes the water from Nahatan street, which formerly crossed Washington street, and formed a gully, and eventually will take the surface water from Railroad avenue.

On Winter street, near the junction of Washington street, the paving at the stand pipe was repaired at an expense of $6.44.


REMARKS.


Our main streets, that is Washington street from Guild street to the railroad crossing at the Norwood Press, and Wal- pole street, from Winter street, running south to the State road, have been regraded by sections, with a foundation of Telford, during the last two or three years, which has produced a good and substantial road. On Washington street there still remains


62


a section, from Hoyle street to Douglas avenue, and at the rail- road crossing at the Norwood Press to complete. On Walpole street there are two sections to complete. One from Bond street to about 100 feet beyond Hoyle street, and from Eliot street to Sanders road, which will give a continued stone road to the Norwood line.


There are a number of streets which should receive a dress- ing of coarse screened gravel during the year. Among the most important are Fulton street, from Nahatan street to Railroad avenue. High street should be graveled. Nahatan street, west from Prospect street, should be repaired in a number of places. Railroad avenue, from Lenox street to Munroe street, should re- ceive a dressing of gravel. Chapel street, from Savin avenue to the subway, if not with Telford, should receive a coat of coarse gravel. Broadway, from the junction of Guild street, running north for about 150 feet, should be repaired with a foundation of Telford.


The stone we have used in Telford construction has been obtained mostly from the ordinary repairs, and construction of new work, and, if we cannot obtain them otherwise than by pur- chase by the load, will increase the cost of construction.


There has been considerable fault found with the condition of our sidewalks, which, on account of the open winter, and action of the frost, has made a great many of them impassable. Now I know of but two remedies, one is to use concrete, and the other is to use crushed stone. To use the stone I would ex- cavate to a depth of seven or eight inches, say on a seven feet sidewalk, about five feet wide, and leave at intervals outlet drains to the gutter, and fill this excavation with two inch stone, seven inches in depth, and level off with one inch stone, two inches in depth. Roll, and sprinkle with screened hard pan, just enough to bind. Roll, and dress with one and one half inch in depth of stone dust, and when in want of repair use stone dust. This method will cost more than the ordinary way of repairing, but I think will obviate the mud.

I recommend that two catch basins be constructed at the south corner of Vernon and Washington streets. One large basin to be built on Vernon street, and one small one on Washington street. The outlet to be of pipe instead of the old stone culvert, and connect with proposed pipe to be continued from the wall at the rear of the church. If you connect the outlets from the basins to the old stone culvert, you will still have the gravel, which has been collecting there for some time, to wash down and clog the proposed pipe to be laid parallel to the new street now in construction on the meadows. In laying a pipe in the loca- tion of Washington street, it will remain intact in excavating for a sewer, where the old stone culvert would have to be taken up and replaced, and would settle at that point of filling, which would incline the water from the basin partly to enter the trench and cause depressions in the street.


I recommend that an appropriation be made for laying the proposed pipe drains, and facing the open drain with stone, on the location of the new street now being constructed by Mr. John E. Smith.


I recommend that a new catch basin be built at the junction of Nichols street and Prospect avenue.


I recommend a catch basin to be constructed on Kerrisey street, near the junction of Williams street, to receive the water from a spring which is constantly overflowing and doing damage to the abutters.


I recommend that an appropriation be made to extend the 15 in. pipe from Wheelock avenue to Nichols street. In laying this pipe you connect with the catch basin on Prospect avenue, and obviate the clogging of the pipe now laid to Maple street. I will state that the pipe within the location of Wheelock avenue will have to be taken up and cleaned before the extension is laid.


I recommend that an appropriation be made to re-build the abutment wall on Everett street, at bridge, as I consider that no

ordinary repairs would be of any duration. This wall should be laid in cement.


I recommend that an appropriation be made to repair the cul- vert, clean the sluice way, and build a new fence at the culvert on Neponset street abutting the land of Mr. Joel Wetherbee.


I recommend that an appropriation be made for the repair of Water street bridge.


I recommend that the following cross walks shall be con- structed during the year on Washington street. One at the corner of Nahatan street, one at the corner of Cottage street, one at Day street, and one at Vernon street; and that the sidewalk at the east side of Washington street, from completed walk to Norwood square, be concreted.


The above recommendations I consider of importance, and have mentioned them to you for your consideration.


Respectfully submitted, FRED H. HARTSHORNE,


Superintendent of Streets.
