A permanent force of men and teams are kept continually at work flushing, cleaning, and repairing the city's drainage sys- tem, the expense necessarily increasing yearly as lengths of sewers, drains, and catch basins are added to the system.


About 9,000 cubic yards of deposit have been removed from the catch basins and sewers during the year, and the average cost per mile for this cleaning and maintaining has amounted to $95.83.


Ninety-five catch basins and one hundred and five manholes have been repaired and grade or line changed.


A number of repairs have been made on some of the old sewers, alterations made in the outlets, and overflows and extra manholes built for the purpose of improving the system.


Three hundred and eighteen permits have been issued to li- censed drain layers for connecting buildings with the main sewers, ninety-one being for repairs or alterations; all of the


353

work being done under the supervision of the city's inspector. There are to date about 13,658 private drain connections with the city's drainage system.


During the year the sewer department has done considerable miscellaneous work for other city departments and outside com- panies where alterations and new construction work has been required, furnishing materials and labor, and being reimbursed for the same to the amount of $242.35.


Two old private sewers have been released to the city; namely, in Sumner street and a portion of Dana street, and will be maintained in the future by the city.

PUBLIC GROUNDS DEPARTMENT.


At the present time there are seventeen separate parcels of land located in all parts of Somerville, used for parks and play- grounds, amounting to 62.6 acres, and also a boulevard about one and one-third miles in length maintained by the city; in- cluded in this total area are playgrounds where the land is owned by private parties and leased to the city, for use, in the following localities : On Winthrop avenue (Fellsway east), two and one- half acres; Knowlton street, one and one-half acres; the Broad- way athletic field in West Somerville, 4.4 acres; and the ceme- tery lot, .7 acre.


By orders passed by the board of aldermen, the College- avenue playgrounds have been transferred from the Public Grounds department for use of a branch public library building, to be built from the Carnegie fund.


The old Harvard school lot has been added to the Public Grounds department, and a strip in the centre of Broadway, be- tween the Charlestown line and Fellsway (east) has been reserved as a parkway. The portion of this reserved space between the double car tracks is to be loamed and shrubbery planted the coming year.


There are a number of vacant lots in the city, owned by private parties, large enough for the purpose of establishing rec- reation grounds and breathing spaces, which undoubtedly could be obtained for short term leases by payment of the taxes to the owner of the property, and be of great benefit to a large number of children in the congested parts of the city.


The larger areas, Broadway, Central hill, Prospect hill, Lin- coln and Tufts parks, have been policed by regular officers from the police department, when required, the expense being paid from the police appropriation, trees and shrubs added to the vari- ous grounds, and bulbs, plants, and flowers furnished in their sea- sons, and during the winter time ponds flooded for skating when the weather was favorable.


Seven fields have been maintained for baseball and three for football playing, and have been constantly in use by the many athletic teams, the games being arranged for and scheduled on the various grounds throughout the season. An outdoor gym- nasium, two bicycle and running tracks, and three tennis courts have been maintained, and are a source of much enjoyment for a large number of people.


The westerly end of Lincoln park has been filled and graded to the same elevation as the rest of the playground, and this area has been laid out and maintained as another ball field. A new entrance has been made and flight of steps constructed leading from Washington-street bridge into the park, and the roadway of Lincoln parkway re-macadamized, and a new brick sidewalk laid on the Perry-street side of this park. A swimming pool having


355


CİTY ENGINEER.


an area of not over 4,000 square feet could be constructed with a concrete bottom and side walls at a small cost, and would be a source of much enjoyment and beneficial to a very large number of children in the immediate vicinity of Lincoln park.


On Central-hill park many of the concrete walks should be re-constructed and new ones added. A contract has been exe- cuted with Augustus Lukeman, sculptor, of New York, for the erection of a soldiers' monument costing $20,000, to be placed on Central hill and completed in the fall of 1908.


The granite curbing around the pond in Broadway park should be re-set.


Two baseball and football fields have been maintained on the playground located at the corner of Broadway and Cedar street.


As an experiment, "Asphaltoilene" has been applied on the . macadam surface of a section of Powder-house boulevard, and on Prospect-hill parkway "Terracolio" has been applied.


At the annual Thanksgiving day football game between teams representing the Somerville and Cambridge high schools, played on the enclosed athletic field, West Somerville, there were about 6,500 people in attendance, and as an admission is charged by the Somerville High School Association at their contests, a portion of the cost of maintaining this field has been paid by the association, amounting to $143.80 for the years 1906-1907.


This athletic field is on leased land belonging to Tufts Col- lege, and in accordance with the terms of agreement, the city has the use of this area until July 1, 1911, unless terminated earlier. Notice of such termination was received during the past year, accompanied by a plan showing the field laid out into streets and building lots, but no definite action has been taken as yet.


If the city is to maintain an athletic field in the future, some provision should be made previous to the termination of the present lease whereby a permanent enclosed area, owned by the city, will be ready for use. The present city ledge property, lo- cated in West Somerville, situated between Holland street and Broadway, is of sufficient size and a suitable location for this purpose, and could be laid out and constructed, with ornamental fences of re-enforced concrete on the street and boundary lines, making an athletic field unsurpassed by any in this vicinity. A portion of this construction work might be done each year, until completed, by making small appropriations yearly.


The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boulevards for the year 1907 amounted to $18,253.61 on construction ac- count, and $9,887.30 being the proportional cost for maintaining the same; in addition to this, the city's special assessment for the newly-constructed Wellington bridge, across Mystic river on the line of the Metropolitan parkway, amounted to $5,564.98 on construction account, and $284.77 for maintenance. Somerville pays a separate assessment, together with four other cities, of twelve and one-half per cent. of the cost of construction and


356


ANNUAL REPORTS.


maintenance of this new bridge, besides the proportional part of the Metropolitan park district assessment. The total of the above assessments amount to $33,990.66, being Somerville's pro- portional payment to the state on account of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1907; less an over-charge in 1906 of $2,112:35. The length of the state boulevard at present con- structed in this city consists of seven-tenths of a mile of double roadway, located in the easterly part of the city, and extending between Broadway and Mystic river.


Whenever the plan of sanitary improvement is carried out along the line of Alewife brook, on the northwesterly boundary of Somerville, a boulevard could be constructed along the banks of this brook at small expense, connecting Massachusetts avenue in Cambridge with the city's Powder-house boulevard, which would improve the general conditions in this section of the city, and enhance the value of surrounding property.
