A permanent force of men and teams are kept continu- ally at work flushing, cleaning, and repairing the city's drainage system, catch basins, etc., the expense necessarily increasing yearly as lengths of sewers, drains, and catch basins are added to the system, and the distance increased to the dumps.


About 6,000 cubic yards have been removed from the catch basins and sewers during the year, at an average cost of $1.51 per cubic yard, and the average cost per mile for cleaning and flushing the drainage system, including catch basins, has amounted to $112.18.


Many catch basins and 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 over-flows, and extra manholes built for the purpose of improving the sys- tem.


Three hundred and eighty-three permits have been is- sued to licensed drain layers for connecting buildings with the main sewers, fifty-five being for repairs or alterations ; all of the work being done under the supervision of the city's inspector.


At the present time there are eight persons licensed as drain layers by the city, and under bonds, for the purpose of laying these private drains.


There are to date about 15,677 drain connections with the city's drainage system.


During the year the sewer department has done con- siderable miscellaneous work for other city departments and outside companies, where alterations and new construction work have been required, furnishing materials and labor, and being reimbursed for the same.


PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS DIVISION.


At the present time there are twenty separate parcels of land located in all parts of Somerville, used for parks and playgrounds, amounting to 75.0 acres, and also a boulevard about one and one-third miles in length, maintained by the city. Included in this total area are playgrounds where the land is owned by private parties, and leased to the city for


393

use in the following localities ; on Fellsway, east, 2.5 acres ; Knowlton street. 1.5 acres ; Tufts College land, 4.6 acres ; and the city also maintains the cemetery on Somerville avenue, containing 0.7 acre. Satisfactory arrangements have been made during the past year whereby the city has the use of Tufts College playfield during the summer vacation months, and the artificial during the skating season.


Four of these larger pleasure parks are famous histori- cally.


There are eight baseball "diamonds" and three football fields in use and under the city's supervision, as well as nu- merous smaller playgrounds, on which are located an out- door gymnasium, running track, tennis courts, and various kinds of athletic apparatus for recreation and rest, where children can play and enjoy themselves and are safe from the dangers of a thickly settled city.


These areas are constantly in use by the many athletic teams, the games being arranged for and regularly scheduled on the various grounds throughout the season, about three hundred ball games being provided for by schedule the past year.


The larger areas have been policed by regular officers from the police department, when required, the expense be- ing paid from the police appropriations; trees and shrubs added to the various grounds, and bulbs, plants, and flowers furnished in their seasons, and during the winter time ponds flooded for skating when the weather was favorable.


This area of parks and playgrounds compares favorably with other cities, Somerville being very small in area and the most densely populated city in the state, averaging about 20,000 in population to a square mile.


At Lincoln Park drinking fountains and additional shower-bath apparatus has been installed, at Mason street playground and Somerville field tennis courts are maintained. Granolithic sidewalks should be constructed in sections of Powder House boulevard.


The grounds surrounding the new public library have been regraded and walks and drives constructed, and trees and shrubs are to be planted in the future.


On several of the playfields concrete buildings should be constructed in place of some of the old wooden structures, additional apparatus provided on some of the principal parks and playgrounds for the smaller children's pleasure, where a regular park employee can have the care of the same, and some of the smaller playground areas should be enclosed by wire fencing for the protection of children.


At the westerly end of Lincoln Park a wading pool hav- ing an area of not over 3,000 square feet could be constructed with a concrete bottom and side walls, at a small cost.' This


394


ANNUAL REPORTS.


would be a source of much enjoyment to a very large num- ber of children in the immediate vicinity, and be maintained exclusively for their use.


In certain localities of the city well-lighted playgrounds, during the summer evenings, should be maintained for the young men and women working in the factories daily.


The city has become so densely populated that portions of some of the larger park areas should be utilized for public recreation and physical training purposes; Broadway park (northerly end), ball field and children's playground; Central Hill park, tennis courts and children's playground; Tufts park, children's playground, gymnastic apparatus, etc.


The Playgrounds Association has continued its good work in the city, and funds contributed by citizens and a sum appropriated by the city for the special equipment of grounds and supervision of playfields during the summer months have been expanded under the direction of the school committee.


Certain areas were used in the city's parks, playgrounds, and school yards, which had been equipped with swings, sand boxes, and various kinds of gymnastic apparatus, and in- structors were employed during the months of July and Au- gust. Many children enjoyed themselves at these outdoor kindergarten schools, while the larger boys were instructed in baseball, basketball and other games, and in the use of gymnastic apparatus, teams being formed and athletic com- petitions held between the various teams, and at the end of the summer season an athletic meet was held on Tufts Oval and a festival on Central Hill.


Probably still better results in this city could be ob- tained by establishing a system with a permanent director of athletics and gymnastics, who would have charge and in- struct in every form of athletics and recreation; including all sports and games for the high schools, grammar schools, and all others using the city's playfields and buildings.


Somerville field located in the northwesterly part of the city, bordered by Powder House boulevard and Alewife brook, has proven to be very popular with the various clubs and athletic teams in our city, and a number of outside school teams and associations have had the use of this field, and the city has received an income each year for the same.


The present temporary dressing rooms have been doubled in capacity, and some small improvements have been made during the year, but a permanent concrete building with all modern improvements should be immediately con- structed.


Some progress has been made in the development of the large ungraded portion of the field, and an appropriation should be made annually for this purpose.

CITY ENGINEER.


If this area is laid out and completed as originally de- signed, Somerville will have one of the finest recreation fields owned by any city, and would include areas for base- ball, football, basketball, tennis, cricket, croquet, playfield for children, outdoor gymnasium, running track, swimming pool, and boating and skating on the brook, a concrete grandstand and field houses, equipped with shower baths, lavatories, dressing rooms, lockers, etc. In the 1910 report a plan was published showing the proposed laying out.


An area owned by the city, and known as the Collins and Ham ledge property, located on Clarendon Hill, near the Cambridge boundary line, might be developed in the future into a pretty pleasure park. similar in nature to the Powder House park; also the Holland street ledge property, owned by the city and situated in West Somerville, could be de- veloped in the future by laying out a portion of the area for streets and house lots, and the remainder for a children's playground.


There are a number of vacant lots in the city owned by private parties, large enough for the purpose of establish- ing recreation grounds and breathing spaces, which un- doubtedly could be obtained for short-term leases by pay- ment of the taxes to the owner of the property, and be of great benefit to a large number in the congested parts of the city.


With all these various parcels of land referred to prop- erly developed in the future as parks, playgrounds, and rest- ing places, the city will be amply provided for in this line, and second to none in the state.


The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1914 amounted to $16,704.79 on construc- tion account. $20,531.40 being the proportional cost for main- taining the same; in addition to this the city's special assess- ment for the Charles River Basin construction and main- tenance amounted to $6.638.16; for the improvement of Ale- wife brook and maintenance of same, $1,323.29; and for the maintenance of Wellington bridge across Mystic river, $648.06.


The total of the above assessments amounts to $45,851.70 being Somerville's proportional payment to the state on ac- count of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1914.


The total assessment paid to the state for parks and boule- vards amounts to $493,683.61, January 1, 1915, and the only length of state boulevard at present constructed 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, and four-tenths of a mile bor- dering Mystic river at the West Medford line.
