Accepted Streets.


Fifteen streets have been accepted, comprising in length about 8,194 feet. Ten streets have been constructed, and two streets partially constructed, at a cost of $17,591.15. The total length constructed was 8,572 feet.


Snow and Ice.


This department was very unfortunate in having to care for such a large fall of snow during the year, as the amount, $13,171.62, which was spent could have been used to good ad- vantage on the maintenance of our streets. There have been 10,855 loads of snow and ice removed from the streets during the year. It is also the duty of this department to care for all side- walks as regards the removal of snow and the care of slippery sidewalks during the winter time in front of public buildings and public grounds, also,-under an ordinance passed February 12, 1904,-when the tenants suffer to remain on such sidewalks for more than six hours, between sunrise and sunset, on any day, any snow or any ice, unless such ice is made even and covered with sand or other suitable material to prevent slipping. Such owner and tenant shall remove all snow and ice from such side- walk within the time and in the manner herein specified. Who- ever fails to comply with this ordinance shall be liable to a pen- alty of not more than $20 for each offense.


Miscellaneous.


Thirty-two streets have been macadamized or re-surfaced, at a cost of $17,036.94, a total length of 31,131 feet.


There are 69.3 miles of public streets and 24.26 miles of private streets in the city, making a total length of 93.56 miles in the city.


575 permits were issued for the use of streets and sidewalks,

and 619 defects in the streets and sidewalks, which were reported by the chief of police, were promptly repaired.


Ninety signs and guide posts have been painted and erected by the department during the year.


4,007.84 square yards of brick and 107.87 square yards of granolithic sidewalks have been laid, and 24,225.4 feet, or nearly 4.588 miles, of edgestone and inside curbing were set, at a cost of $25,702.06. 8,010 square yards of block stone gutters and 280.11 square yards of vitrified brick, granite, and concrete crossings were laid, costing $16,392.13.


11,861.6 feet, or over 2.247 miles, of edgestone were re-set, and 7,464.1 square yards of brick sidewalks re-laid, at a cost of $6,581.01.


229.6 square yards of crossings and driveways have been re- paved with granite blocks.


150 square yards of granite and concrete crossings surfaced with concrete, and 102.3 square yards of driveways paved or re- paved with brick.


3,437 yards of sand and gravel have been used in this branch of the work. 3,894 loads of dirt and 10,211 loads of scrapings were removed from the streets.


1,362 loads of old macadam and 2,395 loads of ballast were used in the repair and construction of streets, and 4,801 loads of ashes used in the repairs and construction of sidewalks and in setting and re-setting of edgestones.


This department has been called upon to furnish steam roller, teams, crushed stone, sand, gravel, and ashes to the other departments.


This department has paved 614 square yards of block pav- ing and re-laid 748 square yards in front of the engine house situated in Union square.


Some of the sidewalks that have been laid in the oldest parts of the city, and where sewer, water, and gas trenches have been made, need attention.


No department or company should be allowed to open any street or sidewalk after the frost sets in, unless in a case of emer- gency.


The department maintains its own painter, blacksmith, horseshoer, and harness repairer, all situated at the city stables.


Transportation of Explosives and Gunpowder.


On December 23, 1904, an ordinance was passed by the board of aldermen, a portion of which relates to this department, as follows :-


Section 1. No explosive or gunpowder shall be transported through any portion of a street unless notice has first been given in writing to the chief of the police department, stating the proposed route, the time of transportation and the gunpowder or explosive intended to be trans- ported, nor unless his approval in writing has first been obtained.


Section 3. No vehicle shall be used for the transportation of any explosive or gunpowder through any portion of a street except a ve-

hicle previously approved in writing by the chief of the police depart- ment and bearing on the outside of both sides in letters at least four inches high the words, "Explosive" and "Dangerous."


Section 4. No person shall allow a vehicle containing any explo- sive or gunpowder to be left without some one in charge or to move faster than at the rate of four miles an hour.


In accordance with this ordinance, the department has ful- filled the requirements, and the vehicles used for such purpose have been accepted by the chief of police, and the law will be rigidly enforced.


Recommendations.


. I would most respectfully recommend that Washington street, from Union square to the Cambridge line, Prospect street, Linwood street, Summer street, from Belmont street to Cutter square, and School street, from Broadway to Medford street, be macadamized; Washington street, east side, from Tufts street to the Boston line, and Somerville avenue, from Kent street to Oak square, be paved with blocks; that the paving blocks in Union square be removed and said square paved with bitulithic; that the narrow main streets with double car tracks be put in first- class condition with either bitulithic, brick, asphalt, or macadam, and that Gilman square be paved with bitulithic. That edge- stones be set and gutters paved with blocks on the south side of Elm street, from Mossland street to Cutter square, Holland street, from Irving street to Teele square, Beacon street, south side, from Washington street to Park street, Main street, from Broadway to the Medford line, Medford street, from the railroad bridge to Highland avenue, and College avenue, from Broadway to the Medford line. This would complete all our main thor- oughfares with edgestones. I further recommend that the brick paving in Davis square be extended to Chester street.


I wish to extend my sincere thanks to his honor, the mayor, the board of aldermen, heads of departments, and all city officials with whom I am associated, and the genial public, for their able support and hearty co-operation ; and I would express my ap- preciation of the conscientious work and efficient service of the foremen, inspectors, teamsters, laborers, and all others employed in the department.
