M -REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
sand and ninety-seven dollars and fifty-six cents. Medford Street Sewer, between Somerville avenue and the Fitchburg Railroad, has been partially rebuilt at a cost of two thousand four hundred and sixty-one dollars and ninety-six cents. It was found upon examina- tion that the brick arch of this sewer had cracked and the sides had spread outward for a length of about two hundred and eleven feet, and it was necessary to rebuild a considerable portion on account of the contemplated paving of this part of Medford street.
The cost of cleaning the Bridge street outlet in Cambridge was two thousand and sixty-seven dollars and ninety-four cents; five ninths of this amount, or one thousand one hundred forty-eight dollars and eighty-six cents, was paid by the City of Somerville and the balance by the City of Cambridge.
OFFICE RECORDS.
Accurate plans of all new sewers constructed the past year have been made, showing names of abutting owners, frontages and areas assessed, and amounts of assessment. All house drains have been located and recorded, and all records have been properly indexed.
HIGHWAYS.
Ten streets, aggregating nine-tenths of a mile in length, have been accepted by the city, and one and seven-tenths miles of private streets have been opened by the land-owners in 1895 ; making a total of fifty- two and seven-tenths miles of public and thirty-three and nine-tenths miles of private streets, and a sum total of eighty-six and six-tenths miles of streets, both public and private, in the city December 31, 1895.
The Engineering Department has given lines and grades for high- ways whenever called upon.
Medford Street has been paved with granite blocks from the East Cambridge line to the Fitchburg Railroad ; the foundation of the old street being of filled material of an uncertain quantity, a concrete foundation was laid in order to make a substantial street for heavy teaming.
The total cost of the work was as follows: -

That part of Medford street between the Fitchburg Railroad and Somerville avenue, a length of about four hundred and sixty feet, should also be paved with granite blocks on account of the heavy teaming.
An itemized account of all work done by the Highway Depart- ment will be found in the annual report of the Committee on High- ways.
EDGESTONE AND BRICK SIDEWALKS.
Twenty-one thousand five hundred and sixty-nine linear feet of edgestone, or over four miles, have been set during the year 1895, for which the Engineering Department has given lines and grades ; also nine thousand nine hundred and fifty-two square yards of brick sidewalk have been laid during the year.
There were in Somerville, December 31, 1895, sixty-three miles of edgestone and forty-one and seven-tenths miles of brick sidewalks.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
WATER WORKS.
Somerville will be supplied with water from the Metropolitan Water System within a very few years ; where the city is now paying to the City of Boston, yearly, a large sum for the use of water from Mystic Lake, of a very poor quality, she will receive, by the Metro- politan System, very much better water at a considerable less cost.
Probably the first line constructed will cross Somerville on the route from Chestnut Hill Reservoir, Brookline, to Spot Pond, Med- ford, running through Webster avenue, Bow street, Walnut street and Chauncey avenue; from this line a number of connections can be made with some of the city's principal distributing mains, and thus have the use of the new system in the low-service district. Later a main will supply the high-service district and probably supersede the city's pumping station.
Lines and grades have been given by the Engineer's Department whenever required ; also all mains, services and gates have been located and properly recorded.
PUBLIC GROUNDS.
The city has taken in the past year, what is known as the Wyatt Clay Pit, off Washington street near the Fitchburg Railroad, for park purposes ; this pit has been enclosed by a board fence and the place is gradually being filled with ashes.
The dumping grounds, belonging to the city, located at the corner of Glen and Oliver streets, have been cleared and graded during the year.
The grounds in front of and around the New English High School, on Central Hill Park, have been graded, seeded, roads and walks constructed, and an area of eight hundred and thirty-four square yards, between the old and new buildings, concreted.
The total area of public parks in Somerville is thirty-nine and four-tenths acres.
Following are the items of expenditures for maintenance and improvements, on Public Grounds for the year 1895.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Engineering Department has furnished specifications, plans, profiles and estimates for the grading of grounds, and has given all lines and grades for the construction of public buildings, whenever called upon.
STREET NUMBERING.
Before the making of the annual valuation of the city, which is begun on the first of May, assistants in the Engineer's Department affix the proper street numbers to all buildings not already numbered. This custom has proven of great value to the Assessors' Department in locating property correctly.
The entire cost of this numbering is assumed by the city.
14
ANNUAL REPORTS.
WEST END STREET RAILWAY CO.
This company has laid a double track in Broadway, from Holland street to a new car house near the Arlington line, and has laid a double in place of a single track the entire length of Holland street, connecting, in Davis square, with the line in Highland avenue as well as with the one in Elm street. It has also relaid its tracks in Washington street from the Charlestown line to Union square. For all of this work the Engineering Department has given grades and furnished profiles ; the entire length of street affected amounting to one and seven-tenths miles. All old lines have been equipped with electricity, so that Somerville has to-day over twelve miles of electric railroad in operation.
MIDDLESEX REGISTRY OF DEEDS.
A copy has been made of all plans recorded at East Cambridge during the past year, showing property in Somerville. All convey- ances affecting sewer and sidewalk assessments, and the ownership of property on streets accepted by the city, have been thoroughly examined, and recorded in this office.
CITY SURVEY AND CITY MAP.
Traverses have been completed during the year 1895 so that the entire city is practically enclosed by survey lines, to which data the intersecting street lines can be added from time to time and thus have a complete and accurate survey of the whole city. From this work an accurate map of the entire city has been made and will be of great value for many purposes, not only in this department but in every department in the city; the last map having been made in the year 1889, since which time many changes have taken place.

M -REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
BRIDGES.
BRIDGES OVER THE BOSTON AND LOWELL RAILROAD.
There are nine bridges over the Boston & Lowell Railroad in Somerville, seven of which are modern iron bridges of very recent construction ; but two more remain to be built, namely, School street and Sycamore street.
All of the new bridges have been built considerably wider than the old, to allow for extra tracks in the future.
BRIDGES OVER THE FITCHBURG RAILROAD.
There are three bridges over this railroad within the city limits, all of which will probably be replaced in the near future by modern iron structures, on account of the Fitchburg Railroad Corporation adding more tracks within its location, necessitating the widening of all bridges.
HIGHWAY BRIDGES OVER MYSTIC RIVER AND ALEWIFE BROOK.
The Middlesex avenue bridge over Mystic river is in fair condi- tion and will probably serve for many years to come, unless an elec- tric railway should be built through Middlesex avenue, which would necessitate the reconstruction of the bridge.
The Broadway and Boston avenue bridges over Alewife Brook are in the same general condition as in the past number of years, and need considerable repairing.
STREET MONUMENTS.
But few stone bounds or monuments to define street lines and angles have been set in the city for the past ten years, and many of the old street lines are nearly destroyed on account of the original bounds having been removed, from time to time, by the building of sewers and regrading and construction of streets.
In the City Engineer's Report of 1894 this matter is referred to, and the importance of replacing these old points accurately can be readily seen.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
PERAMBULATION OF BOUNDARY LINES.
CAMBRIDGE.
December 12, 1895, a committee consisting of the superintendent of streets and the acting city engineer, representing the City of Som- erville, with a similar committee from the City of Cambridge, exam- ined all the bounds defining the division line between the two cities and made their report.
ARLINGTON.
December 19, 1895, the same committee that represented this city in perambulating the boundary line between Somerville and Cam- bridge, joined with representatives of the town of Arlington and per- formed a like duty on the boundary line between Somerville and Arlington, reporting in due form to the Board of Aldermen.
