Adjusting Matters.
The suit between this city and the city of Newton in the Murphy case is still pending. The case spoken of in our last

SUPPORT OF POOR DEPARTMENT.
report between the town of Braintree and this city for aid ren- dered the Pickering family by the town of Braintree is in its in- fancy, as the suit was brought in December last, and will prob- ably not be tried for some time, if ever, as Braintree has brought suit against Waltham in the same case, and is to try that first. There has been no decision yet in the Bridget Condon case with the city of Worcester, but we hope to have it tried soon. The Cooper case has been satisfactorily settled with the common- wealth.
Appropriation.
The appropriation for the miscellaneous account, $14,000, would have been none too much for the year only for the fact that we have held up the bills for the support of the feeble- minded at Waverley since 1905, as there is some question in reference to the liability of cities and towns to pay them. The matter is now being settled in the court. Our unpaid bills for feeble-minded amount to nearly $1,200 for 1906. By not pay- ing these bills, we were able to assist the city home account somewhat, and still show a balance of some $1,286.65 at the end of the year.
Prosperous Times.
During 1906 work has been plenty, wages have been good, and all who really desired work and were reliable could obtain it. There has been no year since 1885 when general prosperity was so apparent and lasted through the year as it has in the year just closed. This is one of the chief reasons why we were able to expend so small an amount during the year, and yet we have relieved all of the needy cases that have come to our attention.
Death of the City Physician.
Dr. A. B. Dearborn, who was appointed city physician by Mayor Pope in 1890, died August 19, 1906. He had held this office with slight interruption during these years, and had given general satisfaction and was highly esteemed by all with whom he came in contact. He was kind-hearted and very conscien- tious in the discharge of his duties. In his business relations with the poor department we always found him upright, honest, and very accommodating in his work.
New City Physician.
The mayor appointed, to fill the vacancy, Dr. C. Clarke Towle, who had been the assistant city physician for nearly two
298
ANNUAL REPORTS.
years, and is admirably fitted to fill the place. He is methodical in keeping his accounts, prompt in making returns of visits made, kind to the poor, and we are sure that no more ideal appoint- ment could have been made. He carried out the same plan of his predecessor in relation to medicine, buying at wholesale, and carrying a supply with him when making his visits, this being a much more economical way and quite as effective as to give pre- scriptions, although the local druggists find some fault.
Pleasant Relations.
Our relations with other cities and towns and with the state continue to be very pleasant, although we do not always think alike, but we try to get at the facts in all of the cases. The offi- cials with whom we do business are as a class very reasonable, and are willing to do the right thing. As usual, we attach to this report the tables giving the work in detail. Thanking all of the members of the board for courtesies received, I am,
Yours with respect, C. C. FOLSOM, General Agent.

The total cost of maintaining the city engineer's department since it was established (1872-1906, both years inclusive) has amounted to $237,247.15.
General Work. The number of assistants employed during the year on engineering work varied from eight to eleven.
The department has made designs, plans, estimates of cost of contemplated and completed public works, etc., as required by various orders of the board of aldermen and committees. All survey notes, records, and plans made of sewers, drains, highway work, water works, grade crossing work, etc., have been filed for future reference.
All plans of estates in Somerville recorded at the Registry of Deeds, East Cambridge, have been copied, titles examined, and abstracts from deeds made for the purpose of assessments, and the proportional part of the cost of new work computed, and schedules of assessments made out showing the property owners ; and copies made of all city plans where land has been taken for highways or sewers, and these have been filed and recorded at the Registry, East Cambridge.
Plans have been made and photographs taken where acci- dents have occurred on the city work or where boundaries were in dispute, for the use of the city solicitor in court cases and hearings ; and special plans and data prepared for hearings re- lating to the proposed bridges and approaches on Lowell street, over the Southern division, and the abolition of all grade cross- ings on the Fitchburg division of the Boston & Maine railroad.
A number of street names have been changed and plans made showing a re-numbering of the buildings, and all old num- bering plans revised, new houses plotted, and numbers assigned ; some of the old main thoroughfares should be re-numbered throughout their entire length, so as to eliminate half numbers and letters now being used, as many of these old streets have outgrown their original numbering.
There are many streets. avenues, courts, and places in the city of the same or very similar name, which should be changed to prevent the confusion and inconvenience now existing.
Stone monuments have been set at a number of street inter- sections and angles to define and preserve the true lines of public streets, and this work should be continued as much as possible each year. By setting these stone bounds or monuments, in

Portland cement concrete, at the level of the surface of the ground, or flush with the surface of the sidewalk, they can also be used as permanent "Bench Marks" throughout the city by establishing their exact elevations, and thereby being a great convenience and saving of time in giving grades, not only for the city engineering department, but also for all other surveyors.
Lines and grades have been given for the erection of new city buildings, and plans and sketches made for the laying out of the surrounding grounds.
About 146 street lines and grades have been given by the department during the year for builders and private parties apply- ing for established grades and lines in connection with the erec- tion of buildings and fences and grading of property.
Plans have been made by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, of Boston, the New England Telephone and Tele- graph Company, West End Street Railway Company, Charles- town Gas and Electric Company, and Cambridge Gas Light Company, and filed in this office, showing the various locations of poles, tracks, and conduits in this city which have been granted by the board of aldermen during the year; and work has been continued under a special act of the legislature, with reference to the city of Somerville, passed in April, 1905, whereby the electric light and telephone companies are placing their overhead wires in conduits underground in certain specified streets, and remov- ing all poles from these streets.
The telephone and electric light companies have extended their underground conduits in Broadway during the year 212 feet and 2,590 feet, respectively, making a total of underground con- duits in the city January 1, 1907, belonging to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company 12.07 miles, and the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, 1.10 miles.
Lines and grades have been given for laying 5,189.7 linear feet of new water mains varying in size from six inches to twelve inches in diameter. Two hundred and fourteen house services, eighteen gates, and seventeen hydrants have been located and recorded, sketches and plans made showing the same, and the large water works map corrected to date.
Eighty-one services were re-located, principally on account of new permanent pavement being laid in certain streets where . it was advisable to place an extra pipe in the sidewalks. Some of the trench work on the extension of water mains the past year has been done by contract with the lowest bidder, at a consider- able saving in cost to the city, the average cost being twenty-six cents per lineal foot for excavation and re-filling done by con- tract.

During the year the department has made plans and estab- lished grades for the acceptance, under the betterment act, of eleven new public streets, a total length of 1.02 miles, and one street widening plan, and made plans showing the discontinuance of two streets and a portion of another : copies of these plans have been made and filed at the Middlesex Registry at East Cambridge, as required by law.
Five hundred twelve and eight-tenths square feet of land have been taken on the northerly side of Mossland street, at Elm street, and two hundred seven and four-tenths square feet of land taken on the southerly side of Mossland street, at Somerville avenue, for the purpose of widening the roadway.
Frost avenue, Sherman street, and the southwesterly end of Edmands street have been discontinued as streets, a length of nine hundred six feet.
Five plans have been made for acceptance of private streets during the year as ordered, but not as yet made public, and there are plans for acceptance of twelve other private streets, previously made, on file in the office that, for various reasons, are still un- accepted as public ways.
Ten streets have been constructed during the year, a lengthi of four thousand three hundred twenty-eight feet, where better- ment assessments have been levied on the abutting property amounting to $3,228.38.
The total length of public streets in the city is 71.229 miles, and private streets, 23.033 miles.
Lines and grades have been given for setting twelve thou- sand eight hundred thirty-five and two-tenths linear feet (2.43 miles) of new edgestone and the re-setting of eleven thousand eight hundred four and five-tenths feet (2.24 miles) of old edge- stone, and measurements taken for computing assessments; the total length of edgestone set being in excess of the previous year by about two thousand six hundred fifty-four feet.
Ten thousand five hundred and thirty-two square yards of new brick sidewalks and four thousand six hundred ninety-nine and five-tenths square yards of granolithic and tar concrete side- walks have been laid (about 4.24 miles in length), and five thou- sand six hundred ninety-nine and eight-tenths square yards of old brick sidewalks re-laid ; the total yardage laid being in excess of the previous year by about nine thousand one hundred four yards.
The average cost for the year of setting edgestone with gravel sidewalk has been ninety-eight cents per linear foot, and laying brick sidewalks one dollar and three cents per square yard,

which is in excess of the previous year on account of a slight in- creased cost of materials and labor.
Four thousand two hundred seventy-eight and five-tenths square yards of new paved gutters have been laid, and six hun- dred eighty-nine and six-tenths square yards of new vitrified brick and granite crossings and driveways constructed; two thousand two and one-tenth square yards of old gutters, drive- ways, and crossings have been re-laid, all requiring lines, grades, and measurements.
