CITY ENGINEER.
Two areas, one located on Webster avenue, near the Cam- bridge city line, the other corner of Somerville avenue and Kent. street, both formerly schoolhouse lots, have been laid out as small parks the past year. The land has been regraded and loamed, grass seed sown, walks constructed, and shrubbery planted, the entire cost amounting to $662.95.
The general maintenance of the public grounds has been carried on in different sections of the city similar to the past few years. Florist J. W. Howard has furnished beds of bulbs, flowers, foliage plants, and shrubbery, in their season, on the vari- ous parks ; the pond in Broadway Park during cold weather has been kept in condition for skating, also an area on Elm street and Lincoln Park have been flooded for skating purposes.
The parks have had special police service throughout the year, and a number of minor changes for improvement have been made on the different grounds. The iron fence that surrounded Broadway Park has been removed and sold, the Metropolitan Park Commission taking the streets (Winthrop and Chauncey avenues) on either side and completing them as boulevards.
The total area maintained by the Public Grounds Depart- ment is 51.7 acres.

Powder=House Boulevard.
During the year 1899, by authority from the Legislature, the city has taken land for a boulevard in the westerly part of the city, extending from Powder-house square northwesterly across land of Tufts College, crossing Packard avenue, land of Teele, crossing Curtis street, land of Dow and Blaney and Robinson, crossing North street, thence along the easterly bank of Alewife brook to the Medford city line, at the junction of Mystic river and the brook, a length of 7,200 feet. All but one parcel of land (the exception being a valuable house lot) was given by the different owners for boulevard purposes.
This boulevard, when completed, is to have a driveway forty feet in width, bordered on each side with grass plots seven feet wide, sidewalks eight feet in width, and between the sidewalks

and house lots a planting space for trees, five feet wide, making the total width of the boulevard eighty feet ; also there are restric- tions placed on the adjoining land as to location, cost, and char- acter of buildings to be erected.
In October work on construction was commenced, and the roadway, forty feet in width, was subgraded as far westerly as North street, a length of 4,300 feet; drains, culverts, and catch- basins were constructed, and the loam stripped on the sides. The total cost of the work done was as follows :-

HIGHWAYS.
During the year 1899 nineteen streets were accepted, an aggregate length of 11,029 feet, making the total length of public streets 60.11 miles ; a number of private streets have been added, making a total of 30.59 miles, and a sum total, public and private streets in the city, January 1, 1900, 90.70 miles.
Lines, grades, and estimates have been given the past year for setting 13,094.4 linear feet (2.48 miles) of new edgestone, and for the laying of 12,027.8 square yards of new brick sidewalks, making a total length in the city of 78.4 miles sidewalks, with edgestone, and 52.2 miles of brick sidewalks.
Three thousand one hundred square feet of crosswalks have been laid, about one-half being of vitrified brick.
Considerable repair work on sidewalks has been done during the year, 1.16 miles of edgestone have been reset, 6,200 square yards of brick walks have been relaid, and 4,800 square feet of crosswalks relaid.
One-third of a mile of paved street was constructed the past year, making a total of 2.75 miles of streets paved with granite blocks; and there are about forty-eight miles of macadamized streets in the city.
A new iron bridge has been constructed oyer the Fitchburg railroad tracks at the junction of Beacon street and Somerville avenue; this modern structure is of the full width of the street, having sidewalks on either side ten feet in width, and two road- ways, each twenty-two feet in width, with the electric car tracks placed in the centre. The old bridge was a narrow, wooden structure.
Washington street has been paved on the northerly side, be- tween the Charlestown line and Tufts street, with granite blocks

ANNUAL REPORTS.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
The Engineering Department has located all new water mains extended and all mains relaid in the various streets, a total length of about seven miles, and located accurately all hydrants, gates, and house services.
During the year there were 248 of these house services, which have been recorded in the office and plotted on plans for future reference. All blow-off connections for emptying the water mains into the sewerage system have been inspected and located.
Lines, grades, and miscellaneous information have been given whenever requested by the Water Department.
A new map of the entire city on a scale of 200 feet to an inch has been made for the Water Department, showing all water mains, gates, hydrants, and blow-off connections, the high service mains being shown in one color and the low service by another.
An itemized account of the work done will be found in the report of the Water Department.
Appended Table.
Following this report is a table giving names of all streets in the city, showing their location, whether public or private, length and width.
