The maintenance of the city's drainage system, which in- cludes all sewers, storm drains, and a net work of catch basins all over the city is probably as intricate a system as can be found in any city in the state and requires continuous labor in cleaning, flushing, repairing, etc., to be kept in working order.
About 6,400 cubic yards of material have been removed from catch basins and sewers during the past year, and about one hun- dred blow-off connections from the water mains opened and the sewers flushed. Fifty-six catch basins have been repaired, grade changed or rebuilt ; forty-seven manholes, line or grade changed, and twenty-three sewers and storm drains repaired.
During the year three hundred and twenty-one permits have been issued to licensed drain layers for connecting buildings with the main sewers, twenty-six being for repairs; all of the work being done under the supervision of the city's inspector. There are about 12,300 private drain connections with the city's drain- age system.
Two of the city's largest outlets for storm drainage are through the city of Cambridge into tide water; the one for the southeasterly section of the city, extending through East Cam- bridge and discharging into Charles river, was constructed many years ago, Somerville paying five-ninths of the cost for building this brick structure, and has paid five-ninths of the cost of main- tenance of this outlet for nearly thirty years, under an act of the Legislature.
During the past year this outlet was cleaned and a section of the river dredged, Somerville's proportion of the expense amounting to nearly $1,600.00. This act should be changed so that Somerville will not be compelled to pay more than her pro- portionate part, the prevailing conditions being far different from what existed many years ago, when the present act was passed.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
PUBLIC GROUNDS DEPARTMENT.
This department covers a varied line of work, including the designing, laying out and constructing of new parks, boulevards and drives, athletic fields and smaller playgrounds, the care and maintenance of all the grounds after completion, the control of all the various athletic games on the different playgrounds, the pur- chasing of all supplies and a general supervision, at present, over sixteen separate parcels of land located in all parts of the city, amounting to about fifty-eight acres, and a boulevard one and one-third miles in length.
New Work. During the first part of the year arrangements were made whereby the city obtained, by purchase, the remain- ing land on Prospect Hill, about six-tenths of an acre, for park purposes and also land for a roadway, and the work of construct- ing the new park was commenced. A street has been laid out and constructed through the park and land purchased from the Vinal and Eberle estates, connecting Prospect Hill avenue with Stone avenue and making a direct line of communication with Union square.
The greater part of the unsightly hill along Munroe street has been removed, the street cut down, widened and graded the entire length and the park area graded. About eighteen thou- sand cubic yards of surplus material was taken to Lincoln Park and used for filling in the old clay pit. Heavy granite retaining walls have been constructed, the steep slopes loamed and grassed and walks built.
A section of the old original hill at its highest elevation, op- posite Greenville street, has been left standing for a foundation on which a substantial granite structure is to be built and will be the highest accessible point in Somerville from which an unob- structed view may be obtained.
The addition of trees, shrubs, vines and flower beds, as shown by a planting plan, will eventually make this historical spot one of the finest pleasure parks in the vicinity.

The new athletic field, situated on Broadway near Powder House square in West Somerville, leased to the city for a term of ten years by the trustees of Tufts College, has been suitably fenced and graded, a grand stand with a seating capacity of over fifteen hundred people erected and dressing rooms built, making one of the best athletic fields obtainable. During the year the field has been in constant use for baseball, football, and other athletic games.

Another ball field has been laid out and partially graded on what is known as the "City field" on land adjoining the Highway and Water Department stables and the remaining area at the cor- ner of Broadway and Cedar street will soon be graded.
By a recent act of the Legislature the city has been given the authority to acquire within a specified time the ledge property on Clarendon Hill, West Somerville, for park purposes, over which

there has been much controversy in the past concerning blasting rights, and it now remains for the city to adopt some satisfactory means of developing this section of land. A plan was prepared about a year ago showing a proposed public street to be laid through this section with the ledge property converted into a pleasure park.
An appropriation of $800.00 has been made for the purchase of land in the rear of the Glen street playgrounds for enlargement, but no satisfactory arrangements for acquiring this additional area have as yet been made.
The abandoned schoolhouse property at the corner of Joy and Poplar streets, an area of four-tenths of an acre, has been added to the Public Grounds Department, and will be laid out as a playground for this section.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
The principal parks and grounds have had the usual display of plants and flowers in their seasons and the skating fields kept in condition during the winter. Brown-tail moth nests were re- moved from trees on all of the grounds early in the year.
At Lincoln Park a large portion of the old Wyatt's clay pit has been filled, so that a two hundred and twenty yard straight- away running track can be constructed. This park is principally devoted to athletics, there being a first-class outdoors' gymna- sium, ball field and bicycle track.
Public tennis courts have been laid out and constructed on the College avenue playgrounds, opposite Morrison avenue.
The Powder House boulevard has been in constant use, it being the shortest route through Somerville to the Mystic Valley boulevard of the Metropolitan system, and should be taken and maintained by the state, as it will be practically a part of the sys- tem when the present Metropolitan driveway is constructed southerly along Mystic river.
Twenty-five hundred dollars has been turned over to the Public Grounds Department, which was left to the city by the will of Joseph F. Wilson. It has been decided to use this money in the building of a rockery and basin, around which a number of drinking fountains will be placed and constructed so that it may be illuminated when desired ; this structure to be erected on Cen- tral Hill Park, in front of the "Battery" on Highland avenue.

Following this report is a table giving names of all streets in the city, public and private, lengths, widths, and the total mile- age; in the 1901 report a table was given showing the locations and names of public squares in the city.
