WATER WORKS.


During the past year two lines of the forty-eight-inch Metro- politan water mains have been laid across the city; the route of the main in the easterly section of the city being through Nor- folk street, Webster avenue, Union square, Bow street, the en- tire length of Walnut street across Broadway, through Chauncey avenue, crossing Mystic avenue, extending through the new Fells boulevard and a portion of Middlesex avenue, thence under the Mystic river ; the route of the main in the westerly section enters from Beech street, Cambridge, crossing Elm street, thence through the entire length of Willow avenue, across Broadway and private lands to Boston avenue in the city of Medford


658


ANNUAL REPORTS.


The laying of these large water mains caused many changes in the city's sewer mains, catch-basins and house drains. Five hundred and eighty-five feet of new pipe sewer had to be con- structed, the location and grade of seven old sewers changed, three catch-basins reconstructed and forty house drains re- located and repaired. There are seven blow-off connections with the city's sewer system to be used for emptying the Metropolitan mains whenever necessary.


Whenever requested by the Water Department, the sizes of water mains for new sections of the city and for the relaying of old cement mains with new iron pipe has been determined and lines and grades given for laying.


Five hundred and sixty-two water services, sixty hydrants, and sixty-three gates have been accurately located and recorded for future reference.


MISCELLANEOUS.


Perambulation of boundary lines between Somerville and Medford .- December 16, 1897, a committee, consisting of the Superintendent of Streets and City Engineer, representing the City of Somerville, and a committee from the City of Medford ex- amined all the bounds defining the division line between the two cities and made their report to the City Council.


Boundary line between Somerville and Cambridge .- Under an order approved May 14, 1897, surveys have been completed, and accurate plans made showing the boundary line between the cities of Somerville and Cambridge, with all streets, buildings, lot lines. areas and assessed valuations within three hundred feet of the line. One general plan was made on a scale of 200 feet to an inch, showing the whole length of the boundary line and twelve sub-plans on a scale of forty feet to an inch, showing sections. The total length of the boundary line between Miller's river and Alewife brook being four and two-tenths miles.


Street Numbering-Numbering plans have been made of new streets and some of the old streets renumbered, all buildings


659


REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.


have been located on these plans and their proper number assigned, that the water and assessors' departments may make their assessments correctly.


A number of streets crossing the Somerville-Cambridge boundary line should be renumbered, to prevent the incon- venience now caused the residents by the duplication of numbers.


Street Monuments-In many of the preceding engineer's reports, the importance of setting stone bounds to properly mark the intersections of street lines and angles has been fully ex- plained. An appropriation sufficient to establish at least two hundred stone bounds in the sections of the city where they are most needed should be made and this work continued each year.


Office Work-Plans, profiles, sections, calculations for as- sessments, etc., have been made for all sewers and sidewalks.con- structed and streets accepted during the year. All house lot plans of Somerville filed at the Middlesex Registry of Deeds have been copied and all conveyances affecting the different assess- ments have been examined and recorded in this office for future reference.
