REMOVING BROWN-TAIL MOTHS.


REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER.


OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER, January 1, 1903.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


Gentlemen,-I most respectfully submit to you the following annual report of the work of the Highway Department during the year 1902 :-


Of the streets laid out and constructed, as stated in the tables at the end of this report, two deserve special mention, namely, Stone-avenue extension and Munroe street.


The former has been constructed from Columbus avenue to Prospect Hill Park, affording, with the drive which winds through the park, a direct avenue from Union square to East Somerville, by way of Prospect Hill avenue and Cross street.


Ever since the reduction of the general level of Prospect Hill, which was made some thirty years ago, the small portion which was undisturbed has been an eyesore, especially to the residents on Munroe street, one-half of the width of which for a considerable distance was included in this unsightly eminence. The unimproved portion of the hill having been taken by the city, and, during the past year, laid out as a park, the part of Munroe street referred to has been accepted and constructed, forming practically a park driveway.


Street Cleaning.


The demand for cleaner streets is constantly increasing, and the patrol system of keeping the streets free from rubbish, waste paper, tin cans, shop bills, etc., has been continued during the past year, giving great satisfaction.


The equipment for this branch of the service consists of four sweeping machines, one Barnard Castle scraper, two Mentzer street cleaners, and nine small hand carts.


Watering Streets.


Under the law providing for the assessment of street water- ing on the abutters, only accepted streets can be watered; on private streets the cost must be paid in advance.


The work is let out by contract at a uniform price of eighty dollars per month, per cart, to each contractor, who furnishes a pair of horses and a driver, said contractor being required at all times to keep the streets in his district properly watered.


This force is under the direction of an assistant, who devotes his entire time to the work, and very few complaints have been received during the year of the manner in which the work is done.


In this department are twenty-eight carts, and the city is divided into a corresponding number of districts, each averaging . about two miles of streets.


334


ANNUAL REPORTS.


I would recommend the purchase of one new watering cart to be used during the year coming.


If some arrangement could be made with the Boston Ele- vated Railway Company to water Broadway, Highland avenue, Somerville avenue and Washington street tracks with electric sprinklers, it would be an improvement over the present system.


City Ledge.


The work of removing the ledge between Broadway and Holland street is still progressing, and will probably last two years longer.


Stone Crusher.


The stone crusher has been kept constantly at work during the year, breaking sixteen thousand tons of stone.


Bridges.


The Middlesex-avenue bridge is maintained jointly by the cities of Medford and Somerville, Medford being the custodian and making all repairs, and Somerville paying one-half the cost of the same.


A new bridge is being constructed to replace the old one.


Boston-avenue bridge over the Mystic river, and Broadway bridge over Alewife brook are in good condition.


Subways.


The subways require constant attention and care to keep them clean. The one at Sacramento street has not overflowed during the past year, and by the use of the Universal Water Jet Eductor, Kent-street subway was kept from overflowing.


Brown=Tail Moths.


Vigorous work for the removal of the brown-tail moths was begun in January, and continued until March, but the city is not quite free from the pest. I have made a personal inspection of the trees in the streets, and find many of them infested, and I intend to put a small gang at work to rid the city of the moths.


Shade Trees.


During the year one hundred seventy-four trees were set out and twenty-eight cut down, and wire protectors were placed around fifty-six.


Steam Road Rollers.


The steam road rollers are in first-class condition. We have two Buffalo Pitts rollers, one fifteen-ton and one twelve-ton, and one five-ton asphalt roller.

Miscellaneous Work.


No new tracks were built by the Boston Elevated Railway Company during the year.


6,457.9 square yards of brick and 79.6 square yards of grano- lithic sidewalks have been laid, beside 35.5 square yards of grano- lithic outside the street line at Gilman square; 35,101.7 feet, or nearly seven miles, of edgestones, and 217.1 feet of inside curbing were set ; 11,335 square yards of stone gutters and 1,901.8 square yards of concrete gutters have been constructed; 470 square feet of flagging, 199.7 square yards of vitrified brick, and 452.6 square yards of concrete crossings were laid, also 63.6 square yards of granolithic crossing in front of the Central fire station.


11,700 feet, or over two miles, of edgestone have been reset, 8,610 square yards of brick relaid, and 4,280 square yards of stone and 43 square yards of vitrified brick gutters repaired. 1,665 square feet of crossings were relaid with flagging, and 160.6 square yards of crossings were replaced with vitrified brick.


523 square yards of crossings, driveways, sewer trenches, etc., have been paved or re-paved with granite blocks; 99.1 square yards of granite paving surfaced with concrete; and 105 square yards of driveways paved or re-paved with bricks.


There have been 9,363 loads of dirt, 9,399 loads of scrapings, and 4,880 loads of old macadam removed from the streets, and 2,186 loads of ashes and 1,901 loads of ballast used in the streets.


429 permits were issued for the use of streets and sidewalks, and 1,000 defects in streets and sidewalks reported by the police department were promptly repaired.


Recommendations.


I recommend the paving of Medford street, from Broadway to Lowell street, and the paving of the gutters and setting of edgestones on the southerly side of Washington street, from the Boston line to Tufts street ; also that Mystic avenue be raised to grade sixteen, and that Somerville avenue, from Medford street to the Cambridge line, and Pearl street, from Cross street to Mt. Vernon street, be macadamized.
