Seventeen catch basins have been constructed in the high- ways during the year, making a total of 1,935 basins in the city for street drainage purposes, constructed and maintained as follows :-


By the city (sewer division) :-

Located in city boulevard .

The separate system sewers should be extended in the old sections of the city each year, as the appropriation will allow, and storm drains completed in certain localities as previously recommended.


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

A permanent force of men, varying in number from twelve to seventeen, and teams are kept continually at work flushing, cleaning and repairing the city's drainage system, catch basins, etc., the expense necessarily increasing yearly as lengths of sew- ers, drains and catch basins are added to the system, and the distance increased to the dumps. These dumping places are fast diminishing and in a very few years' time some other means of disposal will have to be provided.


Approximately 6,200 cubic yards of material have been removed from the catch basins and sewers during the year, at an average cost of about $2.25 per cubic yard, and the average cost per mile for cleaning and flushing the drainage system, in- cluding catch basins, has amounted to about $146.00. There are about twenty catch basins (average) to a mile of road- way in this city and the approximate cost of cleaning per basin has been about $6.77 the past year.


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


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


Seventy permits have been issued to licensed drain layers for connecting buildings with the main sewers, thirty-seven being for repairs or alterations; all of the work being done under the supervision of the city's inspector.


Certain persons are licenesd as drain layers by the city and under bonds, for the purpose of laying these private drains. There are to date about 16,475 private house drain connec- tions with the city's drainage system.


During the year the sewer division has done considerable miscellaneous work for other city departments and outside companies furnishing materials and labor, and being partially reimbursed for the same.


266


ANNUAL REPORTS.


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.


Under this division about seventy-five acres are matin- tained as parks and playgrounds, and approximately a mile of city boulevard; 65.5 acres are owned by the city and certain areas owned by private parties are turned over to the city for recreation purposes, also satisfactory arrangements have been made for a number of years whereby the city has the use of Tufts College playfield during the summer vacation months, and skating areas in the winter. These areas when completely developed will compare favorably with other cities in the vicin- ity.


The baseball "diamonds," football fields, tennis courts and athletic apparatus located on the various playfields have not been in constant use as in former years, because many of these people, on account of the war, have devoted their time and energies to the raising of vegetables on these playfields. The money generally spent for flower beds, shrubs, etc., for orna- mentation of the various city grounds has been used in culti- vating large areas of park and playground land; the total. cost for plowing, harrowing, fertilizing, etc., amounting to $688.11.


The past year, this division of the engineering department has had the supervision of plowing and harrowing of many acres of private land throughout the city, the owners paying the cost, as provided by law, whenever the city is requested to do the work.

The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1918 amounted to $15,724.55 on construction account, $27,732.46 being the proportional cost for maintaining the same; in addition to this the city's special assessment for the Charles River basin construction and maintenance amount- ed to $7,457.52 ; for the improvement of Alewife brook and main- tenance of same $1,197.94 and for the maintenance of Welling- ton bridge across Mystic River, $3,173.78. The total of these assessments amounts to $55,286.25, being Somerville's pro- portional payment to the State on account of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1918.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


The total assessment paid to the State for parks and boulevards amounts to $702,972.15, January 1, 1919, 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 Broadway and Mystic River, and one and three-tenths miles bordering Mystic River and Alewife brook located in the westerly part of the city.


The roadway and steps at Lincoln Park were reconstructed the past year; and long lines of tar walks on Central Hill Park should be reconstructed.


In December a large Christmas community tree, a white spruce, was purchased and hauled by the city a number of miles to Central Hill Park where it was transplanted.


An unusually heavy storm last summer uprooted twelve large poplar trees located on the city's boulevard and also destroyed the flagpole at Broadway Park; the trees and pole should be replaced immediately.


A permanent concrete field house should be constructed at the Somerville athletic field with all modern equipment and the remaining area graded as soon as possible; when completed as originally designed the city will own one of the best recreation fields in the vicinity. (In the 1910 report, plan shows proposed laying out.)


The city has become so densely populated (about 22,000 persons to a square mile) that portions of some of the larger park areas should be utilized for public recreation and physi- cal training purposes; 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.


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.


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.


In connection with the departmental work the Recreation and Playground commission and Playgrounds Association have been of great assistance in advising, directing and promoting the city's welfare. (See Supt. of Schools report for details.)
