The separate sewerage system should be extended each year to assist in the ultimate separation of sewerage and storm water which the Metropolitan District Commission is striv- ing to accomplish. The growing tendency to occupy all land to its fullest extent with houses, garages, granolithic drives and walks, combined with the paved or bituminous streets which prevail, has reduced the soakage area to the extent that the consequent increased run-off during storms is a heavy tax upon the capacity of the sewers. It is therefore advisable to

ANNUAL REPORTS
extend the storm drain system as fast as finances permit, particularly in the North Somerville District into Two Penny Brook, West Somerville District into Tannery Brook, and Winter Hill District into the Mystic River, thus relieving the combined sewerage system of much surface water. The city's drainage problems will be simplified with every move in this direction. The territory in general west of Cedar Street drains to Alewife Brook through a tributary known as Tannery Brook which has been replaced by pipe and conduits.

A permanent force of men, varying in number from ten to thirteen, and hired teams, are kept continually at work, flush- ing, cleaning and repairing the city's drainage system, in- cluding catch basins, the expense necessarily increasing year- ly as sewers, storm drains and catch basins are added to the system, and the distance increased to the dumping places, on- ly two of which are available at present.
The scarcity of dumping places has confronted the city for some time and various schemes have been considered for efficient and economical methods of disposal but no plan has been adopted.
Cubic yards of material removed from catch basins and hauled to dumps 4,327
Average cost per cubic yard (including depreciation of equipment) $ 3 45

The drainage system, built as required by the growth of the city, is composed of units of different type and age. Re pairs, additions and alterations due to deterioration or chang- ing conditions are necessary very frequently.
One hundred and thirty-five permits have been issued for private drain connections from buildings to sewers or storm drains; seventy-seven of these being for repairs, alterations or extensions. All work is done subject to inspection by this department.
Many of the repairs and alterations were made necessary by the growth of tree roots into the private drain pipe. In several cases, these private drains were relaid with iron pipe and lead joints; which type of construction is recommended by this department in districts where trees are found.
Only persons that are licensed as drain layers by the city and who have given satisfactory bonds are permitted to lay and repair private drains.
302
ANNUAL REPORTS
Data concerning each drain connection with the public sewer is on file in this office, and time and expense could be saved by the owner, by applying directly to this department for investigation and adivce, where trouble exists.
Many car track catch basins and underground conduit manholes built by public service corporations have been con- nected with the city's drainage system.
There are to date about 18,396 private drain connections with the city's drainage system.
A special ordinance should be enacted to enforce a better system of grease traps in the premises of some of the larger manufacturing plants and rendering companies to prevent large amounts of grease and waste products from escaping into city sewer mains and partially blocking sections of sew- ers as has occurred at various times.
PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS DIVISION
This division has the control and maintenance of seven- teen parcels of land, (about 75 acres) laid out as parks and recreation playgrounds in about equal proportions.
These areas if completely developed would compare fav- orably with other cities in the vicinity.

CITY ENGINEER
All of the city's playfield areas have been in constant use throughout the year ;- special supervision was provided by the Recreation Commission during the spring, summer and fall months especially for the children's activities, to make the playgrounds popular and successful; an exhibition on Trum Field featured the closing of the summer work.
At the athletic field bordering Alewife Brook the out- door running track has been very popular. The area of land between the northerly fence of Dilboy Field and the field house should be graded and surfaced to permit of its use as a park- ing space for autos. The playing surface of Dilboy Field has deteriorated badly due principally to settlement in the filling where Alewife Brook was straightened and it should be resur- faced.
The work of re-grading the Glen Street Plaground was. started in the fall and will be finished in the spring so that. the playground will be in excellent shape for the summer sea -- son. A modern playground field-house will be built this com -- ing spring.
The city has become so densely populated (averaging: nearly 26,000 people a square mile) that some of the larger park and playground areas should be more extensively utiliz- ed for public receation and physical training purposes. On. several of the playfields concrete buildings should be construct -. ed, additional apparatus and shelters provided and some of the smaller playground areas should be enclosed by wire fenc- ing for protection.
The work of enlarging, equipping and manning our parks and playgrounds and the acquiring of new areas for play- grounds should be extended as rapidly as finances will permit. A definite plan of action should be developed for the above so that the work may be done in a systematic and progressive manner.
In certain localities of the city well-lighted playgrounds should be maintained during the summer evenings for the young men and woman who are obliged to work in the day time. Special equipment and apparatus should be installed for night use.
Previous reports are respectfully referred to for sugges- tions and recommendations for improvement of park and play- ground areas.
