The average cost per square yard for granolithic sidewalks in 1915 was by city labor $1.45, contract $1.40.
'The average cost per square yard for brick sidewalks in 1915 was by city labor $1.39.
The large amount of extra work encountered on Powder House Boulevard, west of North street (contract), and on Broadway Charlestown line to Austin street (city labor), materially increased the general average cost of granolithic sidewalks.
Edgestones were delivered on the line of work in 1915, straight stones $0.55, circles $0.73 per linear foot.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
I most respectfully recommend that Somerville avenue, from Oak square to Porter's Station, be paved with granite blocks on a concrete base. That Newton street, Concord square, Linwood street, and the unfinished portions of Broadway, Washington street, Summer street and Medford street be constructed. That some kind of asphalt top be laid on the pavement on Broadway from the Charlestown line to Fellsway, Tufts street and Pearl street from Cross street to School street.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all for their sup- port and hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, ASA B. PRICHARD, Street Commissioner.

The total number of permits issued during the year 1915, viz., 480, was thirty-four more than during the year 1914, when 446 permits for new buildings and alterations were issued. The total cost of the new buildings and alterations during the year 1915 was $7,554,236, while the cost in 1914 was $1,574,067, showing an increase of $5,980,169.
The Commissioner of Public Buildings has under his charge and direction the work of maintenance and keeping in repair all of the public buildings of the city and the grounds in connection therewith, the direction of all janitors in the city's employ, the inspection of all new building construction, the inspection of the installation and care of all elevators, the supervision of the construction of all new municipal build-

ings, the maintenance of the public bathing beach and the public .municipal baths in the Bennett School and Lincoln Park.
These various activities in connection with the depart- ment work require a vast amount of time and attention in order to at least keep the property in proper condition for occupancy.
School Buildings.
The maintenance and care of the school buildings has as formerly demanded the most vigilant attention from this department and the appropriation made for that purpose has, I believe, been expended carefully and judiciously. Methods of instruction and added activities have made it necessary to provide additional and changed accommodations for the school needs. I have taken care of these wants so far as possible.
The most important need at the present time is the mat- ter of sprinkler systems for and a general fireproofing of the school building basements. This should be done in a sys- tematic and carefully planned manner in order to protect for all times the sections of the buildings used by the chil- dren.
Morse School.
It will probably be necessary to install in this building this year a steam heating system. The building is now equipped with an antiquated furnace system which has out- lived its usefulness.
Burns School.
The suggestion which has been made regarding the con- struction of an assembly hall may be very easily realized in this building by the finishing of the large unoccupied attic space. The conditions here are unusually favorable and the expense would be comparatively small.
Cutler School.
The addition to this building was constructed during the year 1915 and has provided accommodations for 300 addi- tional pupils. The added accommodations were taken ad- vantage of at the opening of school in September and are greatly appreciated.
Bennett School.
It became necessary to provide accommodations in this building for assembly purposes and this was accomplished by the removal of a partition between two rooms on the first
528
ANNUAL REPORTS.
floor. The space obtained provides seating accommodations for about two hundred people.
New School in East Somerville.
The construction of the new school building in East Somerville was started about August 18 of last year and at present has progressed to such an extent as to war- rant its completion in the spring of this year. This building is located on land adjacent to the Prescott School property on Myrtle and Florence streets, and is to contain nine class- rooms which will accommodate 450 pupils.
The equipment will be modern in every respect. The heating will be by the fan system automatically controlled. The sanitary system will include the required number of fix- tures and there is to, be in the basement a room with shower baths for school and public use. A vacuum cleaning system will be installed for caring for all the rooms and corridors. All the stairways are to be absolutely fireproof and so lo- cated as to be protected in case of fire from all other sec- tions of the building. Provision is being made for a system of fire signals which will be always available. The comple- tion of this building will provide the city with its first build- ing so thoroughly equipped.
Fire Department Buildings.
The introduction of motor apparatus has made it neces- sary to re-arrange conditions at the fire department build- ings and this work has been continued.
The most pressing need this year will be the following :-
Ladder 2 -
Construction of concrete floor. :
Fireproofing walls and ceiling of apparatus room.
Better accommodations for dormitory.
Improved sanitary accommodations,
Engine 2 -
Improved sanitary accommodations.
Hose 5 -
Improved sanitary accommodations.
Hose 8 ---
Fireproofing walls and ceiling of apparatus room.
Engine 4 -
Improved dormitory accommodations.
Improved sanitary accommodations.
These improvements, if made, together with the routine work will put the fire department buildings in good condi- tion.
Municipal Buildings.
The municipal buildings consisting of the City Hall and City Hall Annex are in very good condition generally, but
329
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
it will be necessary to remodel the vaults of the city auditor and the city treasurer to accommodate the needs of each. It will also be necessary to provide safes for the clerk of committees and the highway commissioner.
Several of the department offices should be renovated by wall and ceiling painting and new floor coverings, and I would also recommend that the aldermanic chamber be equipped with new desks for the president, city clerk and city messenger.
Libraries.
The Central Library and its branches are well provided for except the Union Square Branch, which should be ex- tended into the quarters formerly occupied by the Boys' Club. This additional space properly fitted up will provide addi- tional room which is much needed and I know will be greatly appreciated.
Highway Buildings.
The mechanical work of the Highway Department was greatly handicapped until the recent completion of the new shops. This new building provides ample room for the car- penters, painters, and blacksmiths in their work caring for the highway property.
City Home Buildings.
The most important work at the City Home buildings during the year was the reconstruction of the piggery, which is now in a thoroughly sanitary condition.
These buildings are now in good condition and are in keeping with the beautifully kept grounds of the home.
Hospital Buildings.
The hospital buildings have been thoroughly renovated during the year. All the outside woodwork has been painted and much of the interior. The third floor of the Contagious Hospital has been so remodelled as to be habitable with safety and provides a welcome addition for the scarlet fever ward.
Police Buildings.
It will be necessary the coming year to re-surface the yard around this building and to renovate the interior. The most pressing need exists in the court room and hallways, which should be thoroughly painted and refinished.
Bathing Beach.
The bathing beach has become such a popular institu- tion that I believe the time has arrived when it should be placed in charge of someone who would be able to devote
330
ANNUAL REPORTS.
more time than it is possible for the Commissioner of Public Buildings so to do. Its activities come at the time of year when the Commissioner of Public Buildings is particularly busy and I hope that some such arrangement may be made for the coming year.
In General.
The Commissioner of Public Buildings has had the co- operation of all branches of the City Government, includ- ing His Honor the Mayor, the honorable members of the Board of Aldermen and all the city officials, and desires to thank them for their kindly consideration.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER T. LITTLEFIELD, Commissioner of Public Buildings.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS.
OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF ELECTRIC LINES AND LIGHTS, January 1, 1916.
To the Honorable, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :-
Gentlemen,-I most respectfully submit my seventh annual report as Commissioner of Electric Lines and Lights for the year ending December 31, 1915.
Inspection of Wiring in Buildings.
The work of the electrical inspector is that of trying to prevent fires from electrical causes.
The inspector examines an installation of electric light, heat or power solely to ascertain whether it is safe from liability to cause fires or be dangerous to life.
Fire may be caused by electricity by overheating of con- ductors, switches or other devices which may cause the in- sulation to ignite or the device to overheat and set fire to surrounding objects.
Wiring which is done in an improper manner and by incompetent workmen is a constant menace to persons us- ing the same.
A state law has been passed requiring all electricians to obtain a state license, and no work is accepted unless such license can be shown the inspector.
It is hoped this will eliminate much of the poor work that has been done in the past and will result in greater safety to life and property.

Fire Alarm System.
The present fire alarm system has done good work during the year, but being inadequate for the needs of the city, a new central office has been ordered and will be in- stalled in a new fire-proof building, thereby eliminating chances of fire from outside sources.
332
ANNUAL REPORTS.
This central office will be strictly up to date and will be a credit to the city.
New instrument boards and punch registers have been installed in each of the fire stations to take care of the fast and slow striking bells as required under the new system.
An auto-truck is now in service, replacing the horse and wagon formerly used by the fire alarm department, and trouble calls can now be answered very promptly.
Three new signal boxes have been added, Box 91 Ben- nett School, Box 92 Bell School and Box 11 Russell road.
One old style box has been replaced with a modern successive box.
The fire alarm equipment consists of the following :-
128 signal boxes, one eight-circuit automatic repeater, eight tower strikers, thirty-nine gongs, nine punch regis- ters, forty-three tappers, one automatic steam whistle, twelve private telephones, 330 cells of storage battery, about 130 miles of overhead wire and 63,321 feet of underground cable.
There has been run 57,300 feet of new overhead wire and 26,200 feet of old has been removed.
1,600 feet of new twisted pair has been run for tele- phones, etc.
3,323 feet of lead-covered cable, consisting of two, four and six conductors, have been placed underground on Cedar street, Davis square, Russell road, Elm street, Chester street and Cutter avenue.
Police Signal System.
The police signal system has been given constant at- tention and is giving excellent service.
One new signal box has been placed on Conwell avenue, corner of West Adams street.
Supervision of Poles and Wires on the Streets.
The same attention has been given to the condition of poles and wires on the streets as in previous years.
A large number of defective poles have been replaced by companies owning the same.
New poles have been placed in locations granted for the purpose of supplying light and telephone service, and aban- doned poles have been removed.
