REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER.
OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER, CITY HALL, SOMERVILLE, January 1, 1917.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-
Gentlemen,-I most respectfully submit the forty-first an- nual report, containing a brief summary of the principal work performed by the highway department, by day labor and con- tract during the year 1916, with recommendations for necessary additions for the coming year.
This department has charge of the construction, alteration, repair, maintenance and management of ways, streets, sidewalks and bridges ; the setting out and care of shade trees ; the suppres- sion of gypsy and brown-tail moths and elm-leaf beetles; the watering and oiling of streets. The collection of ashes and gar- bage has been transferred to the Sanitary Department, a new de- partment established in 1916.
Snow and Ice.
The city government should make a separate appropriation for the care of snow and ice. The department removes the snow and ice from sidewalks, and sands same when necessary, in front of public grounds and buildings. The bridges, made necessary by the abolition of the grade crossings, are also cared for. After a snow storm extra men are placed in the several squares and on the main streets, to keep the crossings opened for pedestrians and to level off the snow in front of business establishments.
Boxes filled with fine sand have been placed within easy ac- cess of the push cart men who care for the smoothly paved streets, squares and subways. No one regrets the expenditure of money for this branch of the work more than myself, but the streets and sidewalks must be kept in a safe condition for travel.
$6,789.69 was expended for the care of ice and snow. 3,180 loads of snow and ice were removed. This department should be reimbursed for the care of snow and ice in front of public property and public grounds controlled by other depart- ments.
Underground Wires.
Permits were issued to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company to construct conduits on Cross street be- tween Pearl street and Medford street. These conduits were constructed under the sidewalks so as not to disturb the asphalt street. This same company enlarged its conduits in Union square before the permanent paving was laid. The Edi-
302
ANNUAL REPORTS.
son Illuminating Company constructed conduits on Willow avenue from Highland avenue to Elm street, on Elm street from Willow avenue to Somerville avenue and on Somerville avenue from Elm street to East Cambridge line, the highway depart- ment replacing the paving at the company's expense. These com- panies, gas companies and city departments laid their wires and pipes underground and made their connections, as far as pos- sible, on all streets before the streets were constructed,
Whenever the different companies petition for new poles or poles to be replaced the city should compel these companies to construct conduits for their wires, thus doing away with the unsightly poles and wires which are dangerous to trees and prop- erty and a menace to life.
Crushed Stone.
The William J. McCarthy Company furnished 106 tons of crushed rock at $1.00 per ton, at their crusher, and 7,738 tons at $1.20 per ton on line of work. Coleman Brothers 141 tons at $1.20 per ton, 2,576 tons trap rock at $1.45 per ton and 1,436 tons pea stone at $1.50 per ton, all delivered on the line of work.
The city crusher was in operation a few days crushing old cobbles, paving blocks and concrete.
A new school has been erected on the Holland street ledge lot, thereby making it necessary in the near future to aban- don the ledge and remove the crusher.
Bridges.
The bridges are in good condition. The School street bridge has been repaired and some new girders installed.
As the through travel increases on Broadway the Willow bridge becomes more dangerous and should be widened.
Steam Rollers.
In my last year's report my recommendation to replace the old twelve-ton roller with a new fifteen-ton roller with scarifier attachment was approved by the Mayor, and the purchase au- thorized. This roller has done more and harder work than was specified by the Buffalo Steam Roller Company and I would recommend a similar roller to any city or town.
New forward rollers will be needed for the No. 2 roller the coming year.
No. 1 roller worked 156 days.
No. 2 roller worked 120 days. No. 3 roller worked 20 days.
No. 4 roller worked 134 days.

SIDEWALKS MAINTENANCE.
The department could spend to good advantage twice the sum that is appropriated for Sidewalks Maintenance, which in- cludes resetting edgestones, relaying brick, repairing granolithic, the care of police reports pertaining to sidewalks and the care of gravel and dirt sidewalks.
1,275 feet of edgestones were reset, 700 square yards of brick sidewalks were relaid.

STREET SPRINKLING.
The Mayor made a contract with the American Car Sprink- ler Company at $750 per month, twelve hours per day, seven days per week. The car was operated nights and flushed all

the paved streets and sprinkled the others wherever there was a car track. The car did very good work considering the way that time was lost in filling from hydrants on the sidewalks. If hydrants were installed between the car tracks the car could be used to better advantage in the daytime, thus saving several horse drawn sprinkling carts that are in operation throughout the day.
All the macadam streets were oiled or tarviated: The prin- cipal squares were watered early mornings.
A storage tank should be erected in the city yard for road oil. The assessment to each abutter for street sprinkling was five cents per linear foot.
Abutters wishing a private street sprinkled must first make a deposit with the City Treasurer. From what experience I have had with dust laying materials I would recommend a heavy asphaltic oil or tar covered with a light coat of fine gravel; these materials keep down the dust and save the streets from wear and disintegration.
Calcium chloride was used in freezing weather on the squares and on main streets with good results.
Dust layers used during the year :-
37,245 gallons of Standard "Socony."
3,600 gallons of Alden Speare's "Tasscoil."
38,478 gallons of Headley's No. 20.
3,800 gallons of Headley's No. 7.

out the night with the police and stable man and all reports are attended to at once. There is a day cleaning patrol in all the principal squares. All the streets were swept and cleaned before oiling.
I earnestly ask the co-operation of all citizens in helping to keep the streets clean by not throwing their papers and rubbish in the streets.
I give my endorsement to the Clean-up Week. This movement should appeal to the civic pride of all citizens and have the hearty co-operation of everybody.
10,186 loads of street sweepings were removed.

SUPPRESSION OF MOTHS.
By the continuous fighting every year the department has the moth situation under its control. After a careful investiga- tion in the Fall I found very few nests, and I think this is partly due to the spraying of trees. All the street and private trees were cared for and inspected. I did not receive any complaints that the moths had not been properly cared for. The work is inspected by an inspector sent by the State Forester, Frank William Rane.
7,119 street trees were inspected and cared for.
10,088 private trees were inspected and cared for.
31,000 brown-tail nests were gathered and destroyed.
22,419 gypsy nests were painted with creasote.
6,932 trees were sprayed by the gasoline spraying machine to exterminate the elm-leaf beetle.

SHADE TREES.
We are losing many of our shade trees on account of the new methods of constructing streets and sidewalks and by the leopard moth or borer.
Whenever trees are to be trimmed, to allow the passage of electric wires, the work is done by the Public Service Com- panies under highway supervision, or by the highway de- partment. In the latter case, the city is reimbursed by the companies.
273 trees were set out.
129 trees were cut down.
173 trees were trimmed.

HIGHWAYS CONSTRUCTION, NEW STREETS.
Part of this construction was done by the department and part by contract.
Three new streets, a length of 1,844 feet, were constructed by contract. The city furnished all the bituminous binder for these streets.
Six new streets, a length of 1,562 feet, were constructed by day labor.
The average cost of new streets by city labor was $4.66 per linear foot.
The average cost of new streets by contract was $5.34 per linear foot.
The streets constructed by the city were for the most part narrow and in one instance a great part of the edgestone had been previously laid.

HIGHWAYS CONSTRUCTION, PERMANENT PAVEMENT.
Permanent pavements were laid by the following named contractors :-
James H. Fannon, Somerville, Mass. "Shawmut" brick on a concrete base.
Bituminous macadam on a concrete base.
The Hassam Paving Company, Worcester, Mass.
"Topeka" top on old Hassam concrete paving. Re-cut granite blocks grouted on a concrete base.
Simpson Brothers Corporation, Boston, Mass.
"Bicomac" on a Hassam concrete base.
The City laid, on a concrete base, "Shawmut" brick, granite block and bituminous macadam.
Brick paving on a concrete base was laid at an average cost of $2.89 per square yard complete, where work was performed by contract and bricks furnished by the city.
Bituminous macadam on a concrete base was laid at an av- erage cost of $1.54 per square yard complete, where work was performed by contract and bituminous binder furnished by the city.
"Topeka" top on old Hassam concrete paving was laid at an average cost of $1.35 per square yard complete, where work was performed by contract and the old Hassam was repaired at day labor by the contractor before top was applied.
Re-cut granite blocks grouted on a concrete base were laid at an average cost of $2.35 per square yard where blocks were furnished by the city and cutting done by the contractor.
"Bicomac" was laid at a contract price of $1.52 per square yard where all excavation was performed by the city, on Pearl and Medford streets from Cross street to School street and on Bow and Summer streets from Wesley square to School street. This pavement was laid to replace old bitulithic. In the exca- vation of the old bitulithic the Buffalo Pitts steam roller with scarifier attachment was used to break up the surface. The old pavement was so thoroughly broken up in this manner that it was conveniently handled and used for a base for streets re- surfaced with bituminous macadam.
On all narrow streets where there are car tracks, paving should be done with granite paving blocks grouted on a concrete base. With a few more years of permanent paving our main streets will be in a first class condition.
