WASHINGTON STREET PAVING.


Washington Street has been paved with granite blocks be- tween Tufts Street and Medford Street the past year.


In order to provide for storm water that collects on the low part of the roadway under the Lowell Railroad bridge, an iron pipe was placed about twenty inches below the surface with which upright pipes are connected, catching the water which follows the electric car rails, and is conducted to a catch basin built in the easterly side of the roadway, and thence through private lands about seven hundred feet and discharging into Linwood Street sewer.


The paving beneath the railroad bridge is laid on a con- crete foundation, the remainder on gravel.


The contract for this work was awarded in two sections, W. H. Gore & Co. completing the section between Tufts Street and Joy Street, H. Gore & Co. the section between Joy Street and Medford Street.


The total cost of the work was as follows :-


1401.3 sq. yds. granite block paving $1,331.24

All granite blocks used were of "Rockport" granite, pur- chased from the Pigeon Hill Granite Company.


One quarter of a mile of paved street has been constructed the past year, making about one and nine-tenths miles in the city December 31, 1896.


The Engineering Department has given lines and grades for setting twenty-one thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine and eight-tenths linear feet, or four and sixteen hundredths miles of edgestone during the past year; also six thousand nine hundred and eighty-four and seven-tenths square yards of new brick side- walk have been laid.


Somerville had, December 31, 1896, over sixty-seven miles of edgestone and forty-three miles of brick sidewalks.


The West End Street Railroad Company has completed a double track on Medford Street and Highland Avenue, extend- ing from Somerville Avenue to Davis Square, for which the En- gineering Department has given grades, a length of about two and two-tenths miles, so that Somerville has at present about fourteen miles of electric railroad.


An itemized account of all work done by the Highway De- partment will be found in the report of the Committee on High- ways.

REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.


PUBLIC GROUNDS.


Many minor changes have been made in the maintenance of the public parks of the city during the past season, such as the addition of ornamental flower beds of various designs, rustic baskets filled with tropical plants, shrubbery and small trees adorning the foot paths.


On Central Hill Park steps have been constructed on the School Street slope, opposite Madison Street, and new asphalt walks laid, one leading to the English High School building, and another to City Hall addition, and extending along the easterly side of the building, terminating at the old entrance where additional granite steps have been placed.


The items of expenditure on Public Grounds have been as follows :--

ANNUAL REPORTS.


WATER WORKS.


Lines and grades for laying water pipes have been given, when requested by the water department, and all mains, services, gates and hydrants have been properly located and recorded for future reference.


Whenever requested by the water department, the sizes and locations for the relaying of old cement pipe with new iron pipe or the extension of water mains in new sections has been de- termined; as the location of the new mains of the Metropolitan Water System, where they cross Somerville, has been definitely defined, future sizes of pipes for relaying and extension should be so designed that when the entire city has been piped a perfect distribution system for fire supply purposes will have been pro- vided for every locality.


In the annual report of the Somerville Mystic Water Board will be found a detailed account, with a complete set of tables showing work done by the water department.


BRIDGES.


BOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD (SOUTHERN DIVISION) .


Over the line of this railroad in Somerville there are nine highway bridges, seven of which are modern iron structures and in good condition; two bridges, one at School street, the other at Sycamore street, are old structures, the abutment walls and floor planking being in poor condition.


These old bridges will probably be replaced in the near future by ornamental iron designs built considerably wider than the old, to allow for extra tracks.


FITCHBURG RAILROAD.


At present there are three bridges over this railroad within the city limits, all in good repair. A number of plans and esti-


545


REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.


mates have been made for highway and foot bridges and sub- ways on the line of this road in the vicinity of Kent and Sacra- mento streets, with a view of doing away with the present dan- gerous crossings.


It is very probable that in the near future something will be done to abolish grade crossings in Somerville, on the line of the Fitchburg Railroad.


MYSTIC RIVER AND ALEWIFE BROOK.


The Middlesex avenue bridge over Mystic river is main- tained by the City of Medford, Somerville paying one-half of the cost.


As the line of the new boulevard to Middlesex Fells crosses the river at this point a new and wider bridge will probably be constructed within a few years.


The highway bridges over Alewife brook at Broadway and Boston avenue are in good condition.


MISCELLANEOUS WORK.


Street Watering .- The past year the payment for watering of streets for the season was changed from the depositing of the necessary amount by the residents, to an assessment for the amount required on the land owners.


This change made considerable extra work in the engineer- ing department, as all frontages and owners' names of property to be assessed were compiled by assistants in this department. Two hundred ninety seven thousand and seven hundred feet (56.4 miles) of frontage being watered and assessed in this man- ner.


City Map .- The first of the year an accurate map of the entire city was completed, showing all streets and public build- ings, also the distance of any point from the City Hall; the last

ANNUAL REPORTS.


map of the city made for distribution was in 1883, since which time many changes in names and locations of streets have been made.


Middlesex Registry of Deeds .- All conveyances affecting sewer, sidewalk and street watering assessments, and the owner- ship of land on streets accepted by the city during the past year have been examined and recorded in this office; also a copy has been made of all plans recorded at East Cambridge the past year, showing real estate in Somerville.


Public Buildings .- The engineering department has fur- nished plans, lines and grades for the erection of public buildings and designs and estimates for grading the grounds when called upon.


Street Numbering .- Every year the engineering department numbers all buildings and replaces numbers on old buildings early in the year, thus enabling the assessors to properly locate buildings and lots in making their annual valuation of the city.


There are many streets in this city that are an extension of streets in Cambridge, both cities numbering independently of each other, and thus creating considerable trouble to residents, as duplicate numbers occur.


Two of the streets have been re-numbered, and the re- mainder should be attended to as soon as possible.


Street Monuments .- There are many old street lines in the city that are almost impossible to be defined accurately on ac- count of the original bounds, or monuments, having been re- moved from time to time by the building of sewers, car tracks, etc.


Bounds should be set locating all angle points in streets, and at other locations, to properly define the street line; nothing in this line has been done for the past ten years, although attention has been repeatedly called to the matter.


It is hoped that during the coming year some progress will be made in setting a few of these stone bounds where it is abso- lutely necessary.


547


REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.


Office Records .- Plans and profiles of all sewers con- structed during the past year have been made, showing names of abutting owners assessed, frontages, areas, amounts of assess- ment and all details of construction.


New numbering plans and many street plans, profiles and various sketches and estimates of city work have been made and properly recorded for future use.
