REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
twenty-three per cent. more than the amount of assessment for side- walks constructed ; and for gravel roads about thirty per cent. of this amount.
In Appendix C will be found a table showing the location and cost of all street improvements made during the year.
Except the work on edgestone and sidewalks, the force of the highway department has been employed on general repairs of streets, and the demands made by this class of work have been so large that very little attention has been given to the main thoroughfares; and, except the light repairs made on Somerville avenue, nothing has been done, as was the case in 1890.
In consequence of this neglect, due principally to the fact that the appropriation for highways has been barely sufficient to make even the small repairs needed, these thoroughfares are in a bad con- dition and beyond repair. The entire surface of these streets should be broken up and removed, and a new surface of at least six inches of broken stone. and gravel should be laid. I would recommend that Washington street from Boston line to Beacon street, Broadway from Boston line to Marshall street, Somerville avenue from Craigie street to North Cambridge line, Elm street from Somerville avenue to Beach street, Linwood street from Somerville avenue to Washing- ton street, Webster avenue from the Fitchburg Railroad to the Cambridge line, and Summer street from Bow street to Central street be resurfaced in this manner, and that the appropriation for highways be sufficiently increased to cover the cost of this work.
MYSTIC AND MIDDLESEX AVENUES.
The condition of these avenues is even worse than in 1890. No repairs have been made since 1881, and they are now in a condition hardly creditable to the city. On Middlesex avenue, especially, the grade should be raised and the surface macadamized.
PAVING SOMERVILLE AVENUE.
The necessity for paving Somerville avenue was referred to in the report of the city engineer for the year 1890, and was brought to the attention of the City Council of 1891, but no progress was made. I would recommend that this work be no longer delayed, and that it be undertaken the coming season.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
STREETS ACCEPTED.
In Appendix D will be found a table showing the location, length, and width of streets accepted in 1891. Plans for these streets as submitted by the abutters have been revised and cor- rected.
In Appendix E will be found a table showing the location and length of public and private streets.
STREETS NUMBERED.
In consequence of the large amount of work done in 1890, in the preparation of plans and numbering houses, but little work has been required on house numbering.
Previous to May 1st the numbering plans were revised, numbers on houses compared with the plans, errors in numbering corrected, and new houses numbered.
BRIDGES.
Bridges over Boston and Lowell Railroad.
CROSS, CENTRAL, AND CEDAR STREETS BRIDGES.
These bridges are substantial iron bridges of modern design, and are in excellent condition. The Cross-street bridge was built during the past year. It replaced a wooden bridge which had been condemned.
WALNUT-STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge is in the same condition as in 1890. The base of the south abutment appears to have moved towards the rails at least fifteen inches. Plans for an iron bridge are being prepared by the Boston and Maine Railroad, and it is probable that it will be erected in 1892.
MEDFORD-STREET BRIDGE.
This bridge appears to be in good condition.
305
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
SCHOOL-STREET BRIDGE.
The westerly end of the southerly abutment has moved towards the tracks, and should be rebuilt. The bridge appears to be in as good condition as in 1891.
SYCAMORE-STREET BRIDGE.
The bridge and abutments appear to be in good condition. The surface water now runs over the wings of the north abutment ; some provision should be made for conducting the water to the catch-water drains on the railroad land.
BROADWAY BRIDGE.
This bridge is in as good condition as in 1891. Plans are being prepared by the Boston and Maine Railroad for an iron bridge, and it will probably be erected during the year 1892.
Bridges over the Fitchburg Railroad. PROSPECT-STREET BRIDGE.
The northerly abutment has settled badly and has moved towards the tracks; it is badly cracked and should be rebuilt. The bridge is in good condition.
WASHINGTON AND BEACON STREETS BRIDGES.
These bridges are in good condition.
Miscellaneous Bridges.
BROADWAY BRIDGE OVER ALEWIFE BROOK.
The retaining walls need pointing, and the surface water should be collected and not be allowed to run through the walls.
BOSTON-AVENUE BRIDGE.
The fences are very badly decayed, and must be rebuilt the coming year. The southerly abutment should be pointed.
306
ANNUAL REPORTS.
MIDDLESEX-AVENUE BRIDGE.
The covering plank on the easterly draw pier should be renewed, and the faces of the channel-way be replanked where it has fallen off. The cross bracing on the pier has been allowed to fall off, and should be replaced.
The easterly draw pier should be extended about fifty feet, to allow ample room for vessels to lie if obliged to wait for the draw to be opened.
The cost of maintenance and repairs made in 1891 was $536.40,. and was assumed in equal proportions by the city of Somerville and the town of Medford.
PUBLIC GROUNDS.
The appropriation for public grounds was expended entirely for maintenance.
The tool house and shelter house on Broadway Park were repaired and painted. The City Hall and Library grounds, the High School grounds, one-half the area between the High School building and the steamer house, were top-dressed with a heavy coat of manure. Other expenditures were for labor on the grass and walks.
THE NATHAN TUFTS PARK.
The surveys and estimates for laying out, grading, and the construction of the drives and walks, commenced in 1890, were continued during January and February, 1891. From a study of the plan of the drives and walks submitted by the donors of the Powder House land, it was apparent that if these drives were laid out as shown on the plan, the grade required from Elm street to the summit of the hill near the Powder House would cause a fill of at least four feet on the westerly line of the street laid out from near the inter- section of Broadway and Elm street, on the northwest side of the Powder House.
Considerable study was given to the location and grade of the street and the connecting drives, and, in December, 1891, a modified plan was submitted to the engineer employed by the Tufts heirs.
By this revised plan the fill above referred to was reduced from four feet to about eighteen inches, but by the new location of the
307
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
street about 3,250 square feet of land were required more than was included within the original area donated by the Tufts heirs. Objections were made to the new location by the Tufts heirs, because of the additional land required; although, in my opinion, the value of the land was more than offset by the grade damages which would be occasioned by the laying out of the street in the original location. Since the revised plan was submitted to the engineer of the Tufts heirs I have received no communication either in favor or against it, and no progress has been made.
During the time that the change in location of the drives has been under consideration, it was suggested to the committee on public grounds that the proposed park should be considerably enlarged, and it has recently been decided to add about 100,000 square feet, provided that satisfactory terms can be made.
The park with the proposed addition would be bounded and described as follows : -
Beginning at a point on the southwesterly side of Broadway at the intersection with northwesterly line of Liberty avenue, thence westerly on Liberty avenue about 500 feet; thence northwesterly at right angles about 472 feet to Elm street; thence northeasterly on Elm street and Broadway about 760 feet to the point of beginning. The area thus bounded would be about 174,100 square feet, and includes the area of about 74,000 square feet included in the original gift. The frontage on Elm street and Broadway would be about 760 feet, including a frontage of about 250 feet on the open area at the intersection of Broadway, Elm street, and College avenue. This frontage on Elm street and Broadway, which streets are sixty feet and seventy feet wide, respectively, and the advantage of a frontage on the open area above referred to, are not obtained by the original gift of land. The frontage on Liberty avenue, a forty-foot street, would be about 500 feet. The remaining 472 feet of boundary would be on private land.
By the original plan, the area enclosed within the park lines would be about 69,450 square feet, and the park would have a front- age of 440 feet on a forty-foot street leading southerly from Elm street, and 270 feet on Liberty avenue, a forty-foot street, leading southerly from Broadway. Thus it is evident that the proposed park, if comprised within the original area, will be entirely cut off
308
ANNUAL REPORTS.
from Broadway and Elm street when the adjoining land is occupied, and will only be connected with these thoroughfares by two forty- foot streets, having driveways approximately twenty-seven feet wide.
By the original plan the area which could be used for planting, or as a lawn, would be about 22,650 square feet, or about thirty-two per cent. of the total area of the park ; the remaining sixty-eight per cent. of the area would be covered with drives and walks, as shown on the plan, and by the abrupt face of the ledge on the Elm- street side of the park.
By the revised plan, with the additional area suggested by the committee, the area enclosed would be two and one-half times larger than the original plan, and the area available for planting or grass would be about eighty-six per cent. of the total area, if the same system of drives and walks were adopted as is shown in the original plan.

BROADWAY PARKWAY.
On Broadway, between Cross street and Marshall street, the street has a width varying from 100 to 200 feet. The horse car tracks formerly were laid on the easterly side of the street, leaving a roadway varying in width from seventy to 170 feet.
The expense of maintaining this wide roadway was large, and as a means of decreasing this cost of maintenance the question of laying out a parkway has repeatedly been agitated.
During the past season measures were taken to change the horse car service to an electric line, located in the centre of the roadway ; and as the expense of erecting poles and wires on this wide roadway would have been very large and the method of supporting wires be dangerous to travel, if the poles had been erected on the edgestone line, it was decided to place one line of poles in the centre of the roadway, and to make it safe for travel with the poles in this location, it was decided to construct the proposed parkway.
January 27, 1892, an order was passed by the City Council authorizing the construction of a parkway in accordance with a plan and estimate submitted by the city engineer.
The plan submitted provides for the location of the car tracks in the centre of the present roadway and one line of iron poles for carrying the wires for car service, a sidewalk fifteen feet wide on
311
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
each side of the street, and a driveway forty-two and one-half feet wide on each side of the parkway. These dimensions fix the width of the parkway at eighty-five feet in the widest part and thirty-six feet at the ends.
The entire area, including the space occupied by car tracks, will be covered with grass. The estimated cost of completing the work, not including the work done on the car tracks, poles and wires,. and the space occupied by the car tracks, was $5,000.
During November and December, 1891, the car tracks were laid on the new location and the poles placed for the wires. Nothing was done on resurfacing the street or grading with loam.
WATER WORKS.
Lines and grades for laying water pipes have been given when required by the superintendent, and all mains and services laid have- been located and recorded.
In March an estimate was made for a new main from the thirty- inch main on Pearl street through Cross, Tufts, and Washington streets to Union square.
The estimate provided for a twenty-inch main from Pearl street through Cross, Tufts, and Washington streets to the intersection of Washington and Medford streets; from this point a sixteen-inch on Medford street to the Cambridge line, and a twenty-inch through Washington street to Union square ; a sixteen-inch through Webster avenue to Concord avenue ; a twelve-inch in Concord avenue to Beacon street; a twelve-inch from Union square through Washing- ton street to Beacon street ; a twelve-inch in Somerville avenue from Union square to Elm street and Cedar street ; a twelve-inch in Park street from Somerville avenue to Beacon street; a twelve-inch in Mossland street from Elm street to Somerville avenue to Beacon street ; a sixteen-inch in Elm street from Cedar street to Davis square. ·
On Somerville avenue, between Union square and Cedar street, the sixteen-inch main is reduced to a twelve-inch, because it is intended to lay a second line of twelve-inch in Somerville avenue to be used for high service only.
To provide for the area south of Washington street and east of the Boston and Lowell Railroad, a sixteen-inch main should be laid
312
ANNUAL REPORTS.
through Franklin street to Washington street. A twelve-inch main should be laid in Washington street from Franklin street to connect with the proposed twenty-inch at Tufts street.
The work done on the supply mains as outlined above is as follows: A twenty-inch main has been laid in Washington street from Tufts street to a point about twenty-six feet west of Medford street; an eighteen-inch from Tufts street to near Franklin avenue; a fourteen-inch pipe from Franklin avenue easterly about 100 feet ; a twelve-inch from the end of the fourteen-inch easterly about 264 feet. A twelve-inch main was laid in Cedar street from Highland avenue to Elm street. The twelve-inch main last referred to com- pletes a line from the thirty-inch Mystic supply main in Broadway to Elm street, and will be connected with the proposed sixteen-inch in Elm street from Cedar street westerly, and the proposed twelve- inch in Elm street and Somerville avenue easterly.
A fourteen-inch main was laid in Medford street from the East Cambridge line to Somerville avenue, instead of the sixteen-inch main, as recommended in my report and estimate made to the water board in March, 1891.
The high-service system is substantially in the same condition as in 1890. No extensions have been made and no changes made in the distribution. The recommendations proposed in the high-ser- vice report made in 1889, and adopted by the City Council of that year, have not been carried out. This report recommended that a twelve-inch main be laid in Highland avenue in place of the eight- inch wrought iron, cement-lined pipe; a ten-inch in Summer street from Cedar street to Union square, in place of the eight-inch cement; and a twelve-inch high-service main in Somerville avenue independent of the eight-inch cement there laid. These new mains must all be laid before the high-service supply will be of benefit to Union square and the southerly slope of Spring Hill.
A second tank will soon be needed on Winter Hill, to be used when it may be necessary to repair the tank on Spring Hill, or in case of a break in the force main. As the system is now arranged, in case of an accident to the tank or force main, the entire system would be supplied either from the low service or by pumping directly into the mains. The latter method would be hazardous without a tank or some substitute like a relief valve or pressure regulator.
When the consumption on the high service shall have increased
313
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
to require the pump to be run more than six to eight hours, a second tank will be needed to provide larger storage capacity than can be obtained in the present tank.
For these reasons, and, further, that available land on Winter Hill will soon be occupied for building purposes, I would recommend that land be purchased at once on Winter Hill in a suitable location, said land to be held for a site for a second tank. This purchase should be made at once, for economical reasons; for, should it be delayed too long, it will then be necessary to take land, occupied and improved by dwellings, at a greater cost than if taken at once.
A second boiler should be provided at the pumping station. If the boiler now in use at the pumping station should need repairs, it would be necessary to discontinue the high-service supply for an indefinite time. It would certainly be expedient to provide another boiler to provide for such a contingency.
