Addition to the Benjamin G. Brown School.


On May 31, 1907, an order was passed authorizing the con- struction of a four-room addition to the Benjamin G. Brown school building on Willow avenue. The plans and specifications for this addition were prepared by the commissioner of public buildings, and competitive estimates were called for in June of this year. The following estimates were received in response to the above request :-


A. H. Hines, Somerville $21,205 00


William Crane, Boston 21,140 00


Walsh Brothers, Somerville 20,800 00


F. C. Alexander, Boston 19,727 00


J. E. Locatelli, Somerville 19,614 00


G. M. Davis & Son, Boston 19,504 00


J. M. Andrews & Son, Somerville 18,687 00


The contract for construction was awarded to J. M. An- drews & Son, the firm submitting the lowest bid, and a contract was signed by the mayor on July 8, 1907.


The construction work on this building was commenced immediately after the signing of the contract, and the building is now ready for occupancy. These four additional rooms will greatly relieve the crowded conditions existing in this school district.


Brown School Heating Plant.


Invitations for the heating plant in the Brown school build- ing were sent out on October 29, and the estimates received and opened by his honor, the mayor, on November 11. The lowest estimate was $1,148, and the contract was awarded to J. J. Hur- ley & Co., who submitted the same. The following is the list of bidders who submitted figures :-

This plant is an extension of the plant in the Brown school building made necessary by the building of the new addition of four rooms, and at the present time is working in a satisfactory manner.


Addition to the Sanford Hanscom School.


The construction of a four-room addition to this building was authorized by an order which was passed on May 31, 1907. The estimates received were as follows :-


F. C. Alexander & Co. $19,990 00


G. M. Davis & Son 18,665 00


J. Nicholson & Son


18,426 00


J. E. Locatelli & Co.


14,994 00


The lowest bidders, J. E. Locatelli & Co., were awarded the contract, and after signing the same proceeded with the work. The addition is now practically completed, and will be ready for occupancy on January 20, 1908.


Hanscom School Heating Plant.


On October 29 of this year invitations were sent out for the installation of the steam heating plant in the addition to the Hanscom school building. The estimates received in response to these invitations were publicly opened by his honor, the mayor, on Monday, November 18. The lowest bidder was J. J. Hurley & Co., of Boston, and the contract was awarded to that firm on November 8, for the sum of $1,475. The following is the list of bidders and their estimates :-

City Hall Vault.


The new vault for the storage of city documents, the con- struction of which was authorized May 31, 1907, has been con- structed by this department, and is ready for use. This vault is located in the basement of the city hall under the treasurer's de- partment, and is constructed of stone, concrete, and iron.


The space provided will afford a safe and convenient storage for all city documents which cannot be taken care of in the de- partment vaults and safes.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


Incinerating Plant.


The incinerating plant, which was authorized in 1906, was completed during this year, and was put in operation early in September, 1907. The waste paper which is collected by the health department daily is taken to the plant, where such of it as is merchantable is baled for shipment, and the balance cremated in the incinerating furnace. This method of taking care of the waste paper is a great improvement over the old method of burn- ing the paper on the various dumping grounds of the city.


The modest outlay of expenditure has already shown good results, and the plant has shown itself a success.


Pope School Heating System.


In accordance with an order approved May 31, 1907, esti- mates were received for the construction of a new heating and ventilating system to be installed in the Pope school building on Washington street. The estimates were as follows :-


A. B. Franklin & Co.


$7,180 00


Bradlee Chatman Co.


6,564 00


The Merrill Co.


6,548 00


Laskey & McMurrer

Pierce & Cox


6,171 00


J. J. Hurley & Co.


5,875 00


Alexander Duncan & Co.


5,775 00


The contract was awarded to Alexander Duncan & Co., of Boston, Mass., the lowest bidders. The system was installed during the summer vacation, and was ready for use at the open- ing of the school year in September. At the present time the system is working satisfactorily, and is a great improvement over the old form, a furnace system, which was removed.

Heating and Ventilating.


The heating and ventilating systems of the school buildings have been improved during the year, and in the Pope school a new plant has been installed. The systems in use are now in a very satisfactory condition, with the exception of the Cummings school, in which the ventilation is not of the best. I would rec- ommend that in the year 1908 sufficient appropriation be made to allow for an expenditure of money to improve these condi- tions.


The following table will describe the systems in use and the existing conditions.

Sanitary Conditions.


The sanitary condition of the school buildings is, I believe, a very satisfactory one. Great care has been taken to keep the sanitary rooms in a clean and wholesome condition, and this, in a great measure, is due to a systematic inspection by Duncan C. Green, the inspector of plumbing, who has faithfully watched the matter, and with the co-operation of the janitors has maintained a healthy condition in this respect.


The enclosed table will describe the system in use and the existing conditions.

COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.


Inspection of Buildings.


The commissioner as inspector of buildings has devoted as much time as possible to the inspection of the building construc- tion in the city during the year, but feeling that a more syste- matic inspection should be given to this work, I respectfully re- quest that a careful consideration be given to the matter with a view to increasing the inspection force of the department. The increased expenditure for this purpose would not be large, and would more fully protect the interests of the people who are in- vesting their savings in the new buildings which are being con- structed.


The recommendation of a revision of the buildings ordi- nances, made in my report of a year ago, was taken up and fol- lowed out, and at the present time a full report, consisting of a new set of building ordinances, is in the hands of the committee on ordinances and rules of the board of aldermen. This com- mittee will undoubtedly make a full report in the near future.


Buildings Condemned.


During the year 1907 three buildings were condemned as being in a dangerous condition and a menace to life and limb. These buildings were ordered taken down, and in the case of two of them the owners complied, while in the case of one this de- partment was obliged to enter the premises and demolish the building.


Permits.


There have been issued during the year 1907 291 permits for new buildings and alterations. This number is twenty-seven less than in 1906. The total estimated cost of the new buildings and alterations was $939,795, while the cost in 1906 was $1,031,835, showing a decrease of $92,040.


During the year there have been made 926 inspections of private buildings in the course of construction. The following table will show the number of permits in each ward and the uses for which they were intended.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS.


OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS, Central Fire Station, January 1, 1908.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


Gentlemen .- I respectfully present herewith my report for the year ending December 31, 1907.


Electrical Department.


Under this department come the care and maintenance of the fire alarm and police signal systems and all work of an elec- trical nature belonging to the city; also the inspection of wiring in all buildings and in the city's streets.


During the year the Edison Electric Illuminating Company and the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company have replaced a large number of dangerous poles.


To the Edison Electric Illuminating Company 282 permits were issued for the attachment of lamps and motors in build- ings after inspection of wiring for same by this department.


For the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company 402 permits were approved for the attachment of its wires to various poles in the city after the inspection of the poles.


Fire Alarm.


Two hundred and fifty-three alarms were transmitted cor- rectly during the year.


Three new boxes were added during the year, as follows, making a total of 112 boxes :-


Box 211, located at New England Oil Company, Allen street (private box) ;


Box 121, located on Somerville avenue, near Cambridge line ;


Box 341, located on Pearl street, corner of Walnut street.


Twenty-four keyless doors were put on the fire-alarm boxes in place of the old-fashioned key doors.


A gong has been installed at the city stables, and a special signal arranged, so that the highway department men can be called together, should their services be needed in any part of the city on emergency work.


The equipment of the fire-alarm consists of the following :-


One hundred and twelve signal boxes, one eight-circuit automatic repeater, eight tower strikers, thirty gongs, eight in- dicators, twelve private telephones, fifty tappers, one automatic steam whistle, 425 cells storage batteries, and about 130 miles of overhead wire and 9,986 feet of underground cable.


412


ANNUAL REPORTS.


Police Signal.


The police signal system has received its usual attention, and a new close-circuit battery has been installed during the year.


The equipment consists of 125 cells of close-circuit bat- teries, one four-circuit instrument desk, and fifty signal boxes.


Underground Wires.


The underground posts have been purchased for the fire and police signal boxes to complete the work on Broadway, and they are ready to be located and connected with underground cables.


The placing of wires under ground by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, the New England Telephone and Tele- graph Company and the city has been carried on in conformity with the law, and a large number of poles and wires have been removed.


Street Lights.


There are at present 482 arc lights and 616 incandescent lights in service in the city. Several new lights will be needed during the coming year, owing to the laying out of the new streets in the western part of the city.


Recommendations.


I make the following recommendations :-


That additional fire and police boxes be installed to shorten the present distances between boxes in certain parts of the city.


That twenty-four more keyless doors be put on fire- alarm signal boxes.


That the fire department houses be connected with the pub- lic telephone exchange.


That the three blows now struck on the fire-alarm system at nine o'clock in the evening be reduced to one blow.


That the rules and regulations governing the installation of electric wiring, issued by the department, be adopted as an ordinance.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


The pipes and all materials required were furnished, and the pipe-laying done in each street by the water department.


The number of new services laid during the year was 173. a smaller number than for many years past, indicating a consid- erable falling off in building operations. In laying these services 6,575 feet of pipe was used, making the total of service pipes in the city approximately 75.2 miles.


A six-inch fire service pipe was laid for the Brown-Durrell building on Howard street, and a four-inch fire pipe for the Cushman estate building, No. 37 Somerville avenue. A four- inch service pipe was also laid from the North-street main to the grounds of the city home.


Five new waterposts have been set for the street watering department, making seventy-eight now in the city.


Six hundred and sixty-one meters have been installed during the past year, including the re-setting of twenty-seven which were removed for various reasons in years prior to 1907, and thirty-five have been removed for either temporary or permanent discontinuance of water services; the net increase in number of meters is 626, and the total number in service is 3,446, the kinds and sizes being as shown in the following table :-
