INSPECTOR OF HOUSE DRAINS.
I would recommend that an inspector of house drains be ap- pointed, whose duty would be to inspect all work done by drain- layers, and require that the work be thoroughly done in every particular.
EXAMINATION OF SEWERS.
An examination of such sewers as are provided with man-holes has been made. With some exceptions the sewers examined are in a fair condition. In the Beacon and Elm Street sewer, consid- erable deposit was found from Sacramento Street to the Washing-

ton Street bridge over the Fitchburg Railroad ; in the Somerville Avenue sewer, at the Bow Street connection; in the Medford Street sewer, from Ward Street to Somerville Avenue; in the Washington Street sewer, from Waverly Street to Tufts Street ; in the Wheatland Street and Winthrop Avenue sewers.
In the case of the Wheatland Street and Winthrop Avenue sewers but little permanent relief can be obtained so long as the outlet remains in its present location. Immediate steps should be taken to remove the deposit from the Wheatland Street sewer ; otherwise the branch sewers in Jaques, Derby, and adjacent streets will be of little service, from the fact that the outlets of these branch sewers will be covered by the deposit in the Wheatland Street sewer.
Two man-holes have been built on the Elm Street sewer between Cherry and Cedar Streets, and the sewer opened for examination. A considerable amount of deposit was found. This sewer was found to be in bad condition, and must eventually be rebuilt.
The cost of building two man-holes was $120.
The cost of cleaning was $137.33.
SEWERS IN WILTON, LOWELL, AND APPLETON STREETS.
This system of sewers, completed in 1886 and designed to con- vey house drainage only, is in good condition, and works satisfac- torily. It will require frequent flushing to keep the pipes clear.
A table showing the location, size, cost per foot, assessment, and cost to the City of sewers built in 1887 may be found in Appendix A.
HIGHWAYS.
Surveys have been made and lines and grades given for about eight thousand feet, or one and one-half miles of edgestone, and sidewalk.
About four and one-tenth miles of horse railroad track have been laid during the past year. This work has been done under the direction of the city engineer, as far as regards lines and grades.
The grading and surfacing of streets through which tracks have been laid has been done at considerable expense to the Highway Department, and, in some instances, the streets might have been
255
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
used and maintained for some years at a comparatively low figure if tracks had not been laid. But, after these streets have been thoroughly surfaced, it is probable a very small amount will be needed for maintenance for some years. The laying of horse railroads must be considered a public improvement and a perma- nent work, as the grade at which a track is laid becomes practi- cally the established grade of the street.
STREETS ACCEPTED.
Five streets have been accepted. Plans showing locations and profiles have been submitted, revised, and deposited with the City Clerk.
A table showing location, width, and length of streets accepted in 1887 may be found in Appendix B.
STREETS NUMBERED.
Six streets have been numbered. Surveys have been made, plans prepared, and notices issued to owners of buildings on streets numbered. Many new houses have been located and numbers assigned them, on streets already numbered.
SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS.
In Appendix B may be found a table showing sidewalks im- provements completed in 1887.
LENGTH AND LOCATION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STREETS.
A table showing the location and length of public and private streets was prepared by City Engineer George A. Kimball in 1886. In Appendix C may be found a copy of this table, revised and corrected to January, 1888.
PERAMBULATING THE SOMERVILLE AND MEDFORD BOUND- ARY LINE.
A committee, consisting of Alderman Holt and the City Engineer representing the City of Somerville, met the selectmen of Medford, Oct. 27, 1887, perambulated the lines, and examined the bounds.
The bounds were erect and in good condition. No additional bounds were located.
256
ANNUAL REPORTS.
SURVEY OF THE CITY.
Owing to the large amount of routine work which has been done by this department, but little progress has been made with the City survey. Base lines for street surveys have been run over the entire area of the City, but a little more than one-third of the area of the City has been accurately surveyed, and buildings and fences located. In this area surveyed, many changes have been made and buildings erected since surveys were completed. It is there- fore evident that a great deal yet remains to be done. I would recommend that the appropriation be increased, so that a part of this work can be done the ensuing year.
BRIDGES.
First. - Bridges on the location of the Boston and Lowell Railroad.
WASHINGTON STREET BRIDGE.
During the past year the old bridge and abutments have been removed, and a substantial iron bridge erected, with abutments of coursed rubble masonry.
The under sides of the girders of the present bridge are about five inches below the grade of the under side of the old bridge. This difference in elevation between the under side of the old and new bridge reduces the headroom about five inches.
The grade of Washington Street on either side of the bridge has not yet been fixed to the satisfaction of the City of Somerville.
CROSS STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge was raised during the past year, and the floor beams now rest on a wooden blocking. If the bridge is not rebuilt this season, this blocking should be removed and replaced with stone. The floor is very light, and is not safe for public travel. The abutments are in unsafe condition, and should be rebuilt at once.
WALNUT STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge is in fair condition. The floor timbers rest on wooden blocking, and should be made safe by substituting masonry for this temporary blocking.
257
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
MEDFORD STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge is in good condition.
SCHOOL STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge is in fair condition. The posts which support the sidewalk of the south-east approach are somewhat decayed.
SYCAMORE STREET BRIDGE.
The floor beams under the sidewalk are badly decayed, and should be replaced.
The floor is somewhat worn, but can be made safe for another year. The fences are badly decayed, and should be renewed at once.
CENTRAL STREET BRIDGE.
The stone arch at this bridge is in good condition. The wooden sidewalks need repairs. Several floor beams, the corner braces of the 12" x 14" posts, and the ends of these posts are decayed.
CEDAR STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge is unsafe for travel, and should be rebuilt at once. The trusses are distorted, the chords are decayed and shaky, the floor beams are old and unsafe, the abutments are in bad condi- tion. The trusses are entirely covered, and it is impossible to examine the wood or iron work, and their condition is uncertain.
BROADWAY BRIDGE.
This bridge is in fair condition. The fences on the approaches are badly out of line, and should be made safe.
Second. - Bridges over the Fitchburg Railroad.
The bridges at Prospect Street and at Beacon Street are in good condition.
Third. - Miscellaneous Bridges.
BROADWAY BRIDGE OVER ALEWIFE BROOK.
This is a stone-arch bridge. The arch is in good condition. The retaining walls need to have some pinners replaced, and need pointing in places.
258
ANNUAL REPORTS.
BOSTON AVENUE BRIDGE OVER MYSTIC RIVER.
One-half of this bridge is supported by the city of Somerville. The fences on the part of the bridge in Somerville need repairing.
MIDDLESEX AVENUE BRIDGE OVER MYSTIC RIVER.
One-half of this bridge is supported by the city of Somerville.
In May, repairs were begun on this bridge. The roadway cover- ing and the old deck plank were removed. Piles which were decayed were removed, and new piles driven and capped. A new deck was laid of 5-inch hard pine heavily coated with coal tar. The bulkhead timbers between the sidewalk and roadway were re- placed by new hard pine, and the outside bulkhead timbers were renewed where needed. About one-half of the sidewalk planking was re-laid with new stock. The planking on the draw was renewed, and the bridge and draw painted two coats.
The repairs were made by the day under the direction of the selectmen of Medford.
The cost of repairs was $10,322.31. To this sum must be added interest on money borrowed to make repairs. One-half of this amount will be charged to the city of Somerville.
PUBLIC GROUNDS.
CENTRAL HILL PARK IMPROVEMENT.
A contract was made with Timothy F. Crimmings May 19, 1887, for removing surplus material and doing necessary grading on Central Hill Park. The final payment under this contract was made Sept. 30 for removing about 1,326 squares of material at a cost of $4,219.46.
A driveway has been built and concrete walks laid, and the neces- sary sodding laid to protect the walks.
The cost of the improvement to date is as follows : -
