7,654 Street trees were inspected and cared for.


12,088 Private trees were inspected and cared for.


33,735 Gpysy moth nests were painted with creosote.


2,384 Satin moth nests were painted with creosote.


72,386 Tussock moth nests were destroyed.


27,839 Tent moth nests were destroyed.


36 Brown tail moth nests destroyed.


$5,462.87 was expended for Supression of Moths.


CARE TREES


The majority of the public shade trees in the City are in good condition. There are many old and unsightly trees that should be removed, and replaced by the City. There has been considerable trouble in regard to poplar tree roots growing into and obstructing drainage systems. When necessary these trees have been removed.


25 trees set out. 81 trees removed. 270 trees trimmed by request. 35 tree guards and supports installed. $7,158.32 was expended on Care of Trees.


SIDEWALKS CONSTRUCTION


Owing to conditions there has been very few petitions for new sidewalks, where the abuttor is assessed one-half of the cost of construction. There are several public streets with edgestone and dirt sidewalks which require frequent filling and labor. The expense of this maintenance is indefinite where- as a granolithic sidewalk would be a permanent improvement.


PERMANENT PAVEMENT


All Permanent Pavement was constructed on a concrete base, by contract. Final payments were made on the construc- tion of Broadway this year. Holland Street, from Railroad Crossing to Teele Square was reconstructed this year. $43,- 302.11 was expended for Permanent Pavement.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


MISCELLANEOUS


70 driveways were constructed.


2 horses disposed of and 1 died

1,342 Police reports received.


2,537 Miscellaneous reports received.


376 streets cleaned by request.


56 requests from aldermen attended to.


39 requests from the mayor attended to.


The department maintains its own municipal repair shops for different lines of work. These shops are in need of up-to- date equipment to do efficient work.


TRAFFIC CONTROL


Traffic lines were painted and warning signs erected at schools, playgrounds and dangerous corners.


65 danger and traffic signs erected.


51 new street signs erected.


190 signs repainted.


Many sickness signs, when requested, were placed on the streets to notify traffic to make no unnecessary noise.


PERMITS


There were in 1933 :---


18 permits to open streets to gas corporations.


41 permits issued to cross sidewalks.


135 permits issued to occupy streets and sidewalks.


82 permits issued to open streets and sidewalks.


610 Water Department openings.


RECOMMENDATIONS


I recommend that as far as possible granolithic side- walks be substituted for the old brick sidewalks at public buildings.


Monmouth Street and Hillsdale Road extensions be con- structed. The iron stairway at the Northern Artery to the Atlantic & Pacific Co. is in a dangerous condition and should be replaced.


The concrete abutment walls at the Medford Street un- derpass near the North Packing Company should be rebuilt on both sides.

May I respectfully call to your attention again the need of a public scale, for reweighing purposes. The department is greatly handicapped in reweighing of coal in transit by having to direct vehicles to different parts of the City to weigh loads on privately owned scales that have been sealed previously by this department.

The total estimated cost of new buildings and alterations during the year 1933 was $239,003., while the estimated cost in 1932 was $555,754.


The total number of permits issued during the year 1933, viz. 398, was 22 less than during the year 1932, when 420 per- mits for new buildings and alterations were issued.


The Commissioner has under his charge and direction the work of maintenance and upkeep of the eighty-five public buildings of this city and the grounds in connection therewith, all janitors in the city's employ, a force of mechanics who


162


ANNUAL REPORTS


perform the work of keeping all buildings in repair, the in- spection of installation and care of all elevators, the supervi- sion of construction of all new municipal buildings, the main- tenance of the public bathing beach and public municipal baths in the Bennett and Bingham Schools, and the Lincoln Park and Glen Street Playground.


The various activities in connection with the department work require a vast amount of time and attention in order to keep the property in proper condition for occupancy.


ELEVATORS


According to an act of the Legislature, the Building Com- missioner is required to have every elevator in the city in- spected yearly, and a report of the conditions and necessary repairs made to the Public Safety Department, State House, Boston.


Plans and specifications of all new installations of ele- vators must be filed in this office and certificates of approval granted by the Commissioner. There have been no new ele- vators installed during the past year, 143 elevator inspections made and 19 orders for repairs were sent out to owners cover- ing 46 elevators.


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 I ยท believe has been expended carefully and judiciously.


Every year, before the summer vacation arrives, this de- partment sends out blanks to be filled in by both the principals and janitors of the school buildings for all requisitions and repairs needed.


HEATING OF SCHOOLS


It was necessary to repair several boilers during the past year. The contract for boiler repairs was awarded to James Speirs of Lowden Avenue, Somerville.


We are nearing the time when there will have to be a re- placement of boilers in several of the school buildings. I should advise that this matter be taken up gradually and at least one plant be changed during the coming year. Some of the


163


BUILDING DEPARTMENT


boilers have been in use for over forty years and should be re- placed on general age conditions.


We have some boiler room ceilings with the wood lath and plaster. These should be replaced by wire lath and plaster to avoid as much as possible all danger from fire.


We have some school buildings with the old method of wholly indirect heating. While this is a good system in regard to ventilation it is an extremely costly system for the heat- ing of school buildings. I should recommend that direct heat be put in all school rooms of this type, proper heat controlled and indirect stacks used only while the building is occupied. This would be a tremendous saving in coal and would over- balance the cost in a comparatively few years.


BLACKBOARDS


Several of the buildings are equipped with paper black- boards and the surfaces of same have to be renewed every year at a cost of several hundred dollars. I would recommend that slate blackboards be installed in place of paper blackboards, as the slate boards last indefinitely and the saving on repairs would more than repay the cost of purchasing same.


SPRINKLERS


We have as yet several school buildings without sprinkler systems in the basement. I would recommend that a start .be made on these, and that all new school buildings erected should have the sprinkler systems in the basement.


It has been the experience of engineers checking up on fires that 90 per cent of fires start in basements, and we feel now that nineteen of our school buildings are adequately pro- tected there being a sprinkler head to every 36 square feet of the basement area of these buildings. .


LIBRARIES


In May of this year the Union Square Library Building was closed and quarters established for the Library depart- ment made in the Old Police Building on Bow Street.


In regard to the Union Square Library building on Bonner Avenue. it would cost a great deal to put this building in proper shape at this time and with the hope that a new build-


164


ANNUAL REPORTS


ing may be erected sometime in the near future I should ad- vise getting along as best we can until a new building is erected.


HIGHWAY BUILDINGS


I should advise the erection of a large garage to take care of all city cars. We have plenty of room for this at the end of City Road. Owing to the land elevation this garage could be made a two story fireproof building and made large enough so as to take care of the future as well as the present needs. There are several now obsolete wooden buildings housing trucks which are costing considerable for heating and repair. These could be done away with if a modern garage was erected. Eventually such a building would pay for itself.


CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL


Considerable painting and varnishing has been done in- side of the Contagious Hospital.


PARK BUILDINGS


Numerous repairs have been made to these buildings dur- ing the past year.


Dilboy Field House must be enlarged and the Commis- sioner hopes that plans for same will be drawn during the coming year.


BATHHOUSE


The public bathhouse on the Mystic River on Shore Drive was opened and maintained as usual this year during the sum- mer months.


About 300 tons of sand were purchased for resanding the beach.


IN GENERAL


The Building Commissioner has had the co-operation of all branches of the City Government, including 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.


IN MEMORIUM


On September 12, 1933, the City of Somerville and es- pecially the Building Department met with a great loss


165


BUILDING DEPARTMENT


through the sudden death of John H. Kelley, Commissioner of Public Buildings.


John H. Kelley had served his city as a public servant and official for thirty-five years and his work and valuable service may well be copied by his sucessors to that office.


This report computed and submitted by the present Com- missioner of Public Buildings.


Respectfully, WM. J. SULLIVAN,


Commissioner of Public Buildings.

ANNUAL REPORTS


ANNUAL REPORT OF LICENSING COMMISSION


For year of 1933


February 17, 1934.


To the Honorable the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville.


Gentlemen :


The Licensing Commission respectfully submits the fol- lowing report of the year ending December 31, 1933.


On April 7th, 1933, pursuant to an act of Congress defin- ing the alcoholic content of intoxicating beverages, the Mass- achusetts General Court, passed the so-called 3.2% Beer and Wine bill which authorized cities and towns to sell the same, provided in the case of cities, the Mayor approved, pending the special election relative to local option. Subsequently the Mayor filed his written declaration authorizing the sale of 3.2% beer and wines in this city.


Three forms of 3.2% beer and wines licenses were issued, viz : (1) not to be consumed on the premises, (2) to be consumed on the premises, (3) clubs. In all we received 298 applications, and after public hearings on each of them, we issued the fol- lowing licenses :


42 Class A. Not to be consumed on the premises.


49 Class B. To be consumed on the premises.


4 Class C. Clubs.


These licenses were issued subject to the approval of the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. The term was for one year and the fees computed on a pro rata basis as in- dicated on the accompanying revenue sheet.


The Commission revoked five and suspended eleven li- censes, because of infractions, in varying degrees, of local rules and regulations.


167


LICENSING COMMISSION


The National Prohibition Law was repealed on December 7, 1933. The General Court passed an act "Authorizing and regulating the manufacture, transportation, sale, importation and exportation of alcohol and alcoholic beverages." Chapter 376; authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverages on December 8th, 1933.


Prior thereto, this Commission held a public hearing in the Aldermanic Chamber to which was invited all municipal and state elected officers in Somerville, members of the clergy and officers of civic organizations, for the purpose of obtaining suggestions and advice relative to the control of the problem in Somerville. After a thorough investigation and considera- tion of the situation, we made certain rules and regulations among which was one relating to the sale of alcoholic bev- erages within 300 feet of a church or school. Another regula- tion required the advertising in a local newspaper of the pub- lic hearing on each application.


During the month of December, we received a total of 102 applications and the following licenses were granted :


11 Package goods stores, all forms of alcoholic beverages not to be consumed on the premises, @ $500.


3 Package goods stores, malt beverages and wines, not to be con- sumed on the premises, @ $300.


14 Restaurant licenses, all forms of alcoholic beverages, to be con- sumed on the premises, @ $400.


8 Restaurant licenses, malt beverages and wines, to be consumed on the premises, @ $300.


9 Druggists licenses, package stores @ $100.


1 Club license @ $100.


These fees were part payment pending approval of our action by the State Commission. The total fee for each class is as follows :


Package stores, all forms of alcoholic beverages, $800.


Package stores, malt beverages and wines only, $400.


Restaurants, all forms of alcoholic beverages, $700. Restaurants, malt beverages and wines only, $400.


Druggists licenses $285.


Club licenses, $150.


Owing to an increase in the work of investigation and in- specting, with the advent of repeal, two police officers were assigned to the Commission.


For two weeks following the legalization of the sale of al- coholic beverages, the Commission held meetings daily. Since that time, weekly meetings have been necessary in order to keep abreast of the ever increasing business.
