present time, the prevailing conditions being far different from what existed some thirty years ago, when the division of the cost was established.
A special act of the legislature in 1903 authorized the cities of Somerville and Cambridge and the towns of Arlington and Belmont to unite in improving the sanitary condition of Alewife brook within the limits of the referred-to cities and towns, and after considerable preliminary work had been done, it was deemed advisable to suspend operations, as another act was passed by the legislature in 1904 whereby, in conjunction with the Metro- politan Park Commission, the entire length of Alewife brook, to- gether with upper Mystic river in Medford, might be improved far more extensively than at first proposed by the cities and towns originally interested in the matter. A lengthy report has been published by the state authorities showing the existing con- ditions, and some construction work has been done, but the brook remains in the same unimproved condition.
Following tables show itemized cost of sewers constructed in 1907; sewers constructed on the "separate system"; storm drains constructed; size and materials of construction of the city's entire drainage system :-
