Emergency Call.


Somerville is the originator of the emergency call in case of accidents for highway men, and is the only city in the Com- monwealth having such a call. The following is a copy of an order issued by the street commissioner on October 7, 1907 :-


"If at any time after this date, day or night, Sunday or holi- day, there should be an accident on the railroad, a burst water main, a collapse of a bridge, a big fire, or any other accident in the same line that would be likely to cause injury to life or limb, or be a menace to the safety of public travel, all employees of the highway department will be required to report immediately at the city stables and receive further orders there. In case of the above-mentioned accidents happening, eight blows will be sounded twice on the fire alarm. For further information, see the foremen or sub-foremen, who will explain more fully."


On October 17, 1907, an alarm was sounded to test the effi- ciency of the department, and inside of fifteen minutes there were forty-one men, two foremen, three sub-foremen, six double teams, and two single teams at the city stables.


The emergency wagon which is kept in the cellar of the stable was hooked up and in front of the stable in three minutes from the time of sounding the alarm. No one, excepting Mayor Grimmons, Assistant Chief Ring, of the fire department, Com- missioner Underwood, and the street commissioner, knew that the alarm was to be sounded.


I wish to recommend that a signal box 8-8 be placed in the city stables for the use of the department. There has also been installed at the city ledge and stables an emergency medicine chest, in compliance with the law of the State Legislature of 1907. These chests have been used several times, with very sat- isfactory results.


Miscellaneous.


Specifications were sent out to all the local and wholesale concerns and bids asked for the furnishing of tools and supplies of all kinds, including edgestones, brick, sand, gravel, cement, paving stock, etc. The bids were opened publicly in the office of the mayor, and the contracts were awarded to the lowest bid- der, preference being given Somerville citizens.


The department maintains its own painter, carpenter, black- smith, horseshoer, and harness repairer, all employed at the city stables.


If the names of certain streets in different parts of the city which are the same were changed, it would be a great conven- ience to the public.


This department has been called upon to furnish steam rollers, teams, crushed stone, sand, gravel, and ashes to the other departments, being reimbursed for the same.

STREET COMMISSIONER.


There were 207 permits issued to the Cambridge Gas Light Company and ninety-three to the Charlestown Gas and Electric Company for the opening of streets for gas connections and re- pairs ; 124 permits were issued to occupy and 157 to open streets ; two to blast rock and forty-four to cross the sidewalks to con- tractors and corporations ; nine to erect canopies, two to feed horses, and nine to run steam rollers through the streets; 172 permits were given to licensed drain layers to open streets for sewer connections.


There were 816 defects in the streets and sidewalks reported by the chief of police which were promptly repaired, thereby, in all probability, saving the city from law suits.


There were fifty-one signs and guide posts erected by the department during the year; 455.4 square yards of crossings paved with granite blocks, flagging, and bricks, and 4,693.4 yards of block stone gutters laid, at a cost of $9,548.64; 2,750 yards of sand and gravel were used; 6,777 loads of dirt and 11,218 loads of scrapings were removed from the streets; 2,000 loads of old macadam and 1,439 loads of ballast were used in the repairs and construction of streets ; 3,836 loads of ashes were used in the repair and construction of sidewalks and in setting and re-setting edgestones; 5,445.9 square yards of granolithic and 7,278.8 square yards of brick sidewalks were laid, and 13,791.3 feet, or nearly 2.612 miles of edgestones set, at a cost of $30,111.22 ; 8,762.4 feet of edgestones, or nearly 1.66 miles, were re-set, and 3,077.3 square yards of brick sidewalks re-laid, at a cost of $2,173.70. This amount includes patching sidewalks and attending to police reports of defects. There were 1,654.4 square yards of granolithic sidewalk laid by private parties on private streets.


I have attended twenty-five meetings of the Committee on Highways to consult and give information regarding work and petitions.


Recommendations.


I recommend that permanent paving be laid on Broadway, north side, from New Cross street to Fellsway East. This would carry the improvement to a point opposite the paving laid this year. Permanent paving should be laid on Highland ave- nue, extending from the pavement at Hamlet street northerly as far as the appropriation would allow.


The freight houses of the Boston & Maine Railroad, being removed from Boston to Rutherford avenue, Charlestown, cause all the heavy teams of the packing houses to use Medford street and Washington street, instead of East Cambridge. These streets are in poor condition and permanent pavement should be laid on the same, also on Somerville avenue, from Kent street to Oak square. Main street, from Broadway to the Medford line, is very narrow, thus making it a hard street to keep in re- pair, and should be paved with permanent pavement.

ANNUAL REPORTS. ! 1


Summer street, from Belmont street to Cutter square, should be re-macadamized, and School street, from Broadway to Med- ford street, and College avenue, from Davis square to Powder- house square, tarviated.


The re-macadamizing with a Tarvia top of Broadway, near Willow bridge, should be extended this year westerly to Pow- der-house square, and easterly to Magoun square.


Edgestones should be set and gutters paved with granite blocks on College avenue, from Broadway to the Medford line, Medford street, from the Boston & Maine Railroad bridge to Highland avenue, Beacon street, southerly side, from Washing- ton street to Park street, Elm street, from White street to Cut- ter square, and on one side of Packard avenue and Curtis street, the other sides of these streets being already set. This would improve the appearance of these two streets and care for the surface water which now gullies the sidewalks and gutters after a storm.


There are several brick and granolithic sidewalks that should be extended or the spaces completed so as to make one continu- ous walk between intersecting streets, as these spaces are very disagreeable to pedestrians, especially in the spring and fall.
