REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.


OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS, City Hall, Somerville, January 1, 1903.


To the Honorable, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :-


Gentlemen,-I have the honor, as Commissioner of Public Buildings, to submit the following report of this department for the year 1902.


That portion of the city charter relating to this department is as follows: "Section 41, Article 3. The Public Buildings De- partment. This department shall be under the control of the Commissioner of Public Buildings, who shall have charge of the construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, and care of public buildings, and shall also be the inspector of buildings."


In addition to the regular work of this department during the year 1902, there have been several needed improvements made in some of the public buildings of the city. A description of this special work will be found fully outlined in this report. The in- spection of private building construction, which has been made during the year, has been performed systematically, and, as a re- sult, the various builders have carried on their work with very few violations of the building ordinances.


Inspection of Buildings.


There have been issued during the year 1902 permits for 252 new buildings and alterations. This number is 114 less than in 1901.


The total estimated cost of new buildings and alterations in 1902 was $791,175, while the same in 1901 was $987,330, showing a decrease of $196,155.


During the year 1902 there have been made 1,241 inspec- tions of private buildings in the course of construction. These have included the inspections of fire stopping, chimneys, build- ings damaged by fire, and foundations.


The following is a table showing the number of permits in each ward for buildings, etc., and the uses for which they were intended :-

Clark Bennett School.


The new Clark Bennett School was completed during the summer of 1902, and was opened for occupancy at the beginning of the school year in September.


Early in the year estimates were solicited for the plumbing work in the building. The following estimates were received :-


Frank M. Bennett


$3,315 00


Charles W. Cahalan


2,510 00


Henry W. Covell .


2,488 00


Armstrong Brothers


2,391 00


The lowest bidders were Armstrong Brothers, and they were awarded the contract for the entire plumbing work.


There are in this building twelve classrooms, each having a seating capacity for fifty pupils. Each classroom has a closet for the storage of books, etc., is fitted with slate blackboards, and is otherwise well equipped for school purposes.


Each classroom has in connection its separate coat room, which is accessible from both the corridor and the room itself.


At either end of the building leading from the stair landings there are four small rooms, two of which are used for teachers'

retiring rooms, one for the principal's office, and one for a hos- pital room.


The entire sanitary system is located in a separate building, which connects with the main building by a corridor. 6 This building is two stories in height.


The heating and ventilating of this school building is by the gravity system.


The steam plant consists of two fifty-four-inch boilers, each of which contains sixty three-inch tubes, and from which the steam is carried to the heat coils in three air rooms, from which the tempered air is distributed through the building to the vari- ous rooms, entering at a point eight feet above the floor.


The vitiated air is taken from each room through an opening at the floor, into brick ducts which lead through the roof to the open air. Each of these ducts is provided with a steam coil, that there may be a perfect circulation of air continually.


Morse School.


During the year a new sanitary system was installed in the Morse School on Summer street The old cremating system was entirely removed, and a modern system of individual flush closets was substituted.


Proposals were received for this work and opened in the Mayor's office on July 5, 1902, as follows :-


Charles W. Cahalan $1,688 00


Thomas H. Naughton 1,672 00


Henry W. Covell .


1,625 00


Armstrong Brothers


1,497 00


The lowest bidders, Messrs. Armstrong Brothers, of Somer- ville, were awarded the contract, and proceeded to install the system.


The new system has, up to the present time, given complete satisfaction.


Glines School.


For several years the motive power for operating the blower has been an engine, the steam for which has been supplied front the boilers.


In order to furnish heat for the building and steam for this engine, the boiler capacity has often been forced to its limit. In order to relieve this difficulty, an electric motor was installed to operate the blower. This change has given great relief to the boilers, and it is now possible to utilize all of the steam generated, for heating purposes.


The total cost of the change was $500, and the marked im- provement fully justifies the outlay.

The lowest bidder was F. C. Alexander, of Somerville, and he was awarded the contract.


The work on this building was commenced immediately after the contract was signed, and, having progressed satisfactorily, is at the present time well up toward the second floor level. It is expected that this building will be ready for occupancy in Sep- tember, 1903.


City Home.


A new bath and toilet room was installed in this building for the use of the family of the Superintendent. For this purpose a small room was used on the second floor. Estimates were re- ceived as follows :-

School Buildings, Care and Repair.


In addition to the special work on the various school build- ings, which is found described elsewhere in this report, the gen- eral work of caring for these buildings has been carried on as usual. The continual demand for modern improvements in the various buildings must be met by the expenditure of a liberal amount of money for such changes.


Fuel.


One of the most perplexing problems which required the attention of this department during the year was that of furnish- ing fuel for the public buildings. On account of the serious state of affairs in the mining district, it was found impossible to make a contract for fuel as usual. This exigency was met, however, by an agreement which was made by His Honor the Mayor with the Wellington-Wild Coal Co. for a supply of fuel which would supply the buildings of the city until January, 1903.


This supply was furnished at a price which was only a slight advance over the regular price.
