other public works as may be authorized; the making of such surveys, plans, estimates, descriptions and specifications, and contracts for work as the mayor, board of aldermen, or any committee or department may require ; the custody of all plans and profiles ; 'and all data relating to the laying out, widening, or discontinuing of streets, and the engineering work for all departments of the city.
The city ordinances require that the city engineer must be consulted on all work where the advice of a civil engineer would be of service ; and no structure of any kind can be placed upon, beneath, or above any street by any department of the city, corporation, or individual, until a plan is furnished showing the location, and approved by him.
During the year the department made plans and estab- lished grades for the acceptance, under the betterment act, of eight new public streets, a total length of 4,152 feet.
Four plans have been made of private streets for accept- ance as public streets during the year, as ordered, but not as yet made public, and there are plans for acceptance of ten other private streets, previously made, on file in the office that for various reasons are still unaccepted as public ways.
Stone bounds have been set in Portland cement concrete at a number of street intersections and angles to define and . preserve the true lines of public streets, and this work should be continued as much as possible each year.

There are at the present time 571 stone bounds set in the city for defining street lines.
The total length of public streets in the city is 76.665 miles, and private streets 20.051 miles. (See table in this report for location, width, length, etc.)

A number of street names have been changed and plans made showing a re-numbering of the buildings, and all old numbering plans revised, new houses plotted, and numbers as- signed.
Some of the old main thoroughfares should be re-num- bered 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.
Mystic avenue between the Boston line and Austin street (excepting the area used by the street railway), a length of 1,100 feet, has been paved with granite blocks, averaging four and one-half inches in depth, grouted with pebbles and cement, laid with a sand and cement cushion one inch in thickness, on a Portland cement concrete base four inches in thickness. The street railway tracks were laid by the company and paved with granite blocks at their expense.
The remaining length of this avenue to the Medford line is a state highway.

Total cost of work $4,771 57
Average cost, $1.53 per square yard for street construction with bituminous wearing surface.
The total length of permanent paved streets in the city amounts to 9.6 miles.
The policy recently adopted of permanently constructing the city's main thoroughfares in preference to side streets has commenced to show good results.
In a few years' time, by the continuation of permanently constructing the remaining roadways, namely, on Broadway (Winter Hill to the Arlington line), Summer, Elm, Holland, Beacon, and Washington streets, the city will have main thor- oughfares that will compare favorably with any city in the state.
Six new streets have been constructed during the year, with a "tarviated" trap-rock surface, a length of 2,179 feet (0.41 mile), costing $4,069.46, where betterment assessments have been levied on the abutting property 'amounting to $2,870.23; the average cost of this construction being $0.95 per square yard.
Four streets have been constructed, "tarvia" being used as a binder, a length of 3,069 feet (0.58 mile), where no assess- ments were levied.
Ten streets have been re-macadamized or re-surfaced, a length of 10,745 feet (2.03 miles).
