Metropolitan Sewer Connections. There are within the city's limits, thirteen connections with the North Metropoli- tan state sewerage system, also four outlets through the city of Cambridge and three outlets through the city of Medford. 'The locations of the connections of the city's mains with the state sewer are shown in the 1912 report.


Wherever the city's "combined system" sewers are con- nected with the Metropolitan sewer, the flow is automatically regulated so that in times of storms the connection closes and the discharge continues through the old channels to the rivers ; the "separate system" connections are always in operation under all conditions.


The city's assessment for the Metropolitan sewer system for the past year was $14,998.20 on construction account and $22,512.80 for maintenance, and the total amount paid the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for this state sewer has been $1,167,777.40 (1892-1916. both years inclusive). The total length of the Metropolitan sewerage system mains running through the city amounts to 3.475 miles.


New Work. The separate system sewers should be ex- tended in the old section of the city each year, as the appro- priations will allow.


The construction of the storm drainage system in the vicinity of North Somerville should be extended, the outlet for this district being through the city of Medford into Mys- tic river ; and in connection therewith, the boundary line be- tween Somerville and Medford should be changed in the vicin- ity of Pearson road and Boston avenue, so that this outlet, Two Penny brook, can be improved by Somerville, and the covered channel extended to the Boston & Maine railroad, to conform with the work already done within the present city limits.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


A large storm overflow drain has been contemplated for some time at the East Cambridge line, across private lands from Somerville avenue, discharging into Miller's river. The construction of this conduit would relieve, to a great extent, the flooding of certain streets and many cellars in times of excessive storms. The city of Cambridge is equally interested in this matter of improved drainage and the cities acting jointly should complete this work without further delay.


Some agreement should be made whereby a storm drain and sewers may be constructed in the valley along the loca- tion of the southern division of the Boston & Maine railroad, between Gilman square and Cedar street, this being the natural outlet for a number of the city's streets and house lots, which at the present time have either very poor or no means of drainage, and would abolish two syphons under the railroad tracks. It would be of great benefit to the railroad company as well as giving relief to sections of the city's over- charged drainage system during heavy storms by diverting through this proposed conduit the proper drainage area which is now flowing in other directions.


The city's drainage system will be greatly improved when all the foregoing changes are made and construction work completed.

CITY ENGINEER.


v le of tools and property on hand used in maintenance of sewers, $2,000.00.


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


About 7,260 cubic yards of material have been removed from the catch basins and sewers during the year, at an aver- age cost of $1.32 per cubic yard, and the average cost per mile for cleaning and flushing the drainage system, including catch basins, has amounted to $130.64. There are about twenty catch basins (average) to a mile of roadway in this city and the average cost of cleaning per basin is about $5.30 a year.


A number of repairs have been made and sections rebuilt on some of the old sewers, alterations made in the outlets and overflows, and extra manholes built for the purpose of im- proving the system.


Many catch basins and manholes have been repaired and grade or line changed.


Three hundred and ninety permits have been issued to licensed drain layers for connecting buildings with the main sewers, sixty-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 16,292 private house drain con- nections with the city's drainage system.


During the year the sewer division has done considerable 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.


Some of the old trunk sewers which were constructed many years ago are in a dangerous condition ; sections, where the arch is badly cracked and liable to collapse any time, should be immediately rebuilt.


PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS DIVISION.


At the present time there are twenty separate parcels of land located in the various parts of the city and containing about seventy-five acres, which are maintained as parks and playgrounds ; also the care of about one and one-third miles of boulevard is under this division. Five of these pleasure parks are famous historically. Included in this total area are playgrounds where the land is owned by private parties, and leased to the city for use in the following localities; on


282


ANNUAL REPORTS.


Fellsway, east, 2.5 acres; Knowlton street, 1.5 acres; Tufts College land, 4.8 acres, and the city also maintains the ceme- tery 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 skat- ing season.


This area of parks and playgrounds completely devel- oped will compare favorably with other cities, Somerville be- ing very small in area and the most densely populated city in the state, averaging about 22,000 in population to a square mile. (Approximately 34 per acre.)


There are eight baseball "diamonds" and three football fields in use and under the city's supervision, as well as num- erous smaller playgrounds, on which are located an outdoor 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 regu- larly scheduled on the various grounds throughout the season ; and have been policed by regular officers from the police de- partment, when required.


Trees and shrubs have been added on the various grounds, a Christmas tree planted on Central Hill Park, bulbs, plants, and flowers furnished in their seasons, and during the winter time, ponds and artificial areas flooded for skating when the weather was favorable.


Tennis courts have been maintained at Mason street play- ground, Broadway park, Central Hill park, and Somerville field and used continually throughout the season.


At Lincoln park one of the ball fields has been partially regraded, and the wading pool maintained during the hot weather being a source of much enjoyment to a very large number of children in the immediate vicinity. At Somerville field additional bubbler drinking fountains have been installed and an area laid out for playing girls' hockey has been used considerably. An appropriation has been made for the con- struction of one unit of a permanent field house ; this building is to be a modern concrete structure equipped with shower baths, lavatories, dressing rooms, lockers, etc., and should be completed the coming year.


Somerville field 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, the city receiving a small income each year. The centre sections of the grand-stand should be provided with a cover- ing for the convenience of the public. Some progress has been made in the development of the large ungraded portion

CITY ENGINEER.


of the field, and an appropriation should be made annually for this purpose and when the entire area is laid out and com- pleted as originally designed Somerville will have one of the finest recreation fields owned by any city. In the 1910 report a plan was published showing the proposed laying out.


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 ; on several of the playfields concrete buildings should be constructed in place of some of the old wooden structures, additional apparatus pro- vided 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 play- ground areas should be enclosed by wire fencing for the protection of children.


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.


Five hundred and fourteen and six-tenths square yards of granolithic sidewalks have been constructed in sections of Powder House boulevard during the past year as petitioned for by the abutting property owners.


The northerly end of this city boulevard from near North street, a length of about 2,300 feet, has been taken over by the Metropolitan Park Commission, and connecting therewith the new Alewife Brook parkway has been constructed by the state along the Somerville side of the brook extending to Massachusetts avenue in Cambridge and making a continuous state roadway connecting with the Mystic Valley parkway.


Paul Revere park area should be enlarged by acquiring additional land, constructing a street across from Main street to Broadway separating the city's park from the adjoining land, and thereby preserving an historical spot on the top of Winter Hill for the future, also making a convenient connec- tion for travel.


An old ledge property owned by the city, located on Clar- endon Hill, near the Cambridge boundary line, might be de- veloped 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 Som- erville, could be developed by laying out a portion of the area for a connecting street with house lots on one side 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 establishing recreation grounds and breathing spaces, which undoubtedly could be obtained for short-term leases by payment 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.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


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.


The Playgrounds Association has continued its good work in the city, and funds contributed by citizens and a sum ap- propriated by the city for the special equipment of grounds and supervision of playfields during the summer months have been expended under the direction of the superintendent of schools.


Certain areas (about thirty acres) were used in the city's parks, playgrounds, and school yards which have been equipped with swings, sand boxes, and various kinds of gymnastic ap- paratus, and supervisors were employed during the months of July and August. Many children enjoyed themselves at these outdoor kindergarten schools, while the larger boys were instructed in baseball, basket ball and other games, and in the use of gymnastic apparatus ; athletic competitions were held between the various teams and interesting exhibitions were given at the close of the summer work.


Probably still better results in this city could be obtained by establishing a system with a permanent director of ath- letics and gymnastics, who would have charge and instruct 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.


The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1916 amounted to $11,494.45 on construc- tion account, $28,764.62 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 mainten- ance amounted to $6,616.78; for the improvement of Alewife brook and maintenance of same $1,255.23 and for the main- tenance of Wellington bridge across Mystic river, $3,087.49. The total of these assessments amounts to $51,218.57, being Somerville's proportional payment to the state on account of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1916.


The total assessment paid to the state for parks and boulevards amounts to $592,841.70, January 1, 1917, and the 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 Broad- way and Mystic river, and one and three-tenths miles border- ing Mystic river and Alewife brook located in the westerly part of the city.
