691
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS.
CONSTRUCTION OF SUBWAYS AT KENT STREET AND SACRAMENTO STREET.
(Under the Fitchburg Railroad.)
The subways at Kent street and Sacramento street have been completed during the year. The balance, January 1st, to the credit of the Kent street subway, was $257.99, to which were added transfers from the appropriation for the construction of the Sacramento street subway, amounting to $49.16, and from Highways account amounting to $99.65, making a total credit of $406.80. This amount was expended on the final pay- ment to Holbrook, Cabot & Daley, the contractors. The entire cost to the city for the construction of the subway was $3,264.18.
The balance of the appropriation for the subway at Sacra- mento street, December 31st, 1897, was $561.50. A transfer was made from this amount to the appropriation for the subway at Kent street of $49.16, leaving a balance of $512.34. This amount was the final payment due and which has been paid to Holbrook, Cabot & Daley, the contractors, for the construction of this subway. The entire cost to the city, for the construc- tion of this subway, was $2,950.84. The total cost of both sub- ways, including the amount contributed by the Fitchburg Railroad (namely, $5,500.00), was $11.715.02. They have proved a great convenience to the people in the neighborhood, and are highly appreciated.
EDGESTONE AND PAVING STOCK.
The contract for the furnishing of edgestones and paving stock (exclusive of the paving of Webster avenue) was awarded to S. & R. J. Lombard, they being the lowest bidders. Linear feet of edgestones set (including 3,860 feet reset), 22,292.4; square yards of brick paving laid (including 2,394 yards relaid), 19,381.8 ; square yards of stone paving laid (including 2,148 yards relaid), 8,526.

During the year the West End Street Railway Company has been granted new track locations in Union square, Bow

street, and Summer street, to near Central street. New sixty- feet girder rails have been laid by the company at an improved grade, the main track being in the middle of the street, and the turnouts longer and more conveniently located than formerly. The change is of advantage both to the company and its patrons. The tracks were relaid so late in the season that no work has since been done on the streets, but no doubt it will be taken up early in the spring and the streets put in thorough repair.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A stone drinking fountain has been set during the year on Broadway, near Winthrop avenue.
Field and ledge stone have been purchased at a cost of $4,035.09 ; sand to the amount of $840.90; and gravel to the amount of $907.00.
Fifty-three sidewalks have been constructed at a cost of $30,240.27, of which amount $14,848.14 was assessed on abutting estates, leaving $15,392.13 to be borne by the city. More money has been expended for sidewalks during the past year than in any previous year since 1874.
Marshall street, Cross street, Broadway, Sargent avenue, Bow street, Union square, and Somerville avenue, have been opened during the year for the construction of storm drains.
Beacon street has been opened its entire length, and Somer- ville avenue has been opened from the Fitchburg Railroad bridge to the North Cambridge line, by the Cambridge Gas Light Company, for the purpose of laying a sixteen-inch gas main.
Twenty-four streets have been opened by the Somerville Water Commissioners for the purpose of laying or relaying water pipes.
Mystic avenue has been filled to grade from Winthrop avenue to Wheatland street.
Forty-two street signs, six guide signs, and seven private- way signs, have been erected during the year.
Two hundred and seven shade trees have been planted, and 14 trees have been removed.
693
' REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS.
A stone culvert, with a concrete arch, has been constructed across College avenue, at the brook.
A twelve-ton steam road roller was purchased, under author- ity of an order dated June 22nd, from the Buffalo Pitts Com- pany for the sum of $3,190.00. The roller has been in service since the early part of the summer and has proved entirely satisfactory. The city has at the present time two road rollers in service.
During the year the city has expended $585.60 in destroying the insect pest, known as the brown-tail moth.
Boston avenue bridge is in bad condition, and will have to be rebuilt, or a new one constructed, at an early day, as it now requires constant care.
