ANNUAL REPORTS.


Miscellaneous.


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


Specifications were sent out to all the local and whole- sale concerns, and bids asked for the furnishing of 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 bidder, preference being given to Somerville citizens or taxpayers.


The department maintains its own painter, carpenter, blacksmith, horseshoer, and harness-repairer, all employed at the city stable.


The names of many streets which were duplicated in other parts of the city, thus causing great inconvenience to the pub- lic, were changed.


One horse has been purchased during the year, two killed, and two have died.


I have attended twenty-eight meetings of the committee on public works for consultation regarding work and petitions, and have reported on twenty-eight petitions for signs and lights over sidewalks to the license committee.


A great improvement has been made at the city yard. The railroad siding was placed upon our own property, and a new fence surrounds the departments located there.

Recommendations.


I most respectfully recommend that the remaining un- paved portions of Elm street, Holland street, Beacon street, Broadway, Somerville avenue, College avenue, Pearl street, and Summer street be completed, thus completing all the main thoroughfares running east and west in our city. There must be some construction on the main streets in the vicinity of the new Webster-avenue bridge in conjunction with this great im- provement.


With the laying of permanent paving on Mystic avenue this year, this thoroughfare will be used more than ever by the cities and towns lying north of our city, and Middlesex avenue should be constructed fifteen feet through the middle so as to make the connecting link to these cities and towns.


I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to his honor, the mayor, for the constant, active interest he has taken in this de- partment and for his valuable advice and encouragement; to the several members of the city government for their uniform courtesy and consideration, especially the Public Works Com- mittee, and to the heads of the different departments for their ready co-operation.


I desire also to acknowledge my appreciation of the faith- ful and conscientious assistance rendered me by the foremen, inspectors, teamsters, laborers, and all others employed in the department ; also the general public for notifying the depart- ment of the defects in the streets and sidewalks, which were promptly attended to, thereby saving the city the possibility of law suits.
