Plans and specifications of all new installations of eleva- tors must be filed in this office and certificates of approval granted by the Commissioner. There was two new elevators installed during the year 1936.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The maintenance and care of the school buildings, has as formerly, demanded the most vigilant attention from this de- partment and the appropriation made for that purpose I be- lieve has been expended carefully and judiciously.
A brief list of repairs made to school buildings follows :
GRIMMONS SCHOOL
Aproximately 1500 square yards of school walk was sur- faced as a playground. The balance of school lot 2870 square yards was graded. Two dry wells were installed. 309 linear feet of 6 foot chain link fence erected on top of retaining wall.

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.
As oil is used so extensively for heating purposes, the method of distribution has to be checked very carefully. The fuel trucks have to be calibrated, and meters tested, therefore the purchase of a 50 gallon test tank should be seriously con- sidered at once.

Sealer of Weights and Measures.

ANNUAL REPORTS
The above figures are approximate and are based on the general average of amounts carried by the trucks.
The ashes and refuse are being collected with motor trucks on account of the distance to the Medford dumps, which are be- ing used by this department subject to the rules and regula- tions of the Board of Health of the City of Medford.
There is a general increase in the amount of paper being collected due to the fact that so many householders have in- stalled oil burners in their kitchen ranges and heaters. This paper is collected and taken to the incinerator, thereby de- creasing the fire hazard on the dumps.
The total estimated collections of garbage amounted to 17,000 cords.
The garbage has been collected by contract which provides for collection twice a week throughout the year, which as a whole, I believe has been pretty faithfully adhered to.
The department as a whole is operating efficiently and with the citizens co-operation we shall continue to carry on in the usual manner.
I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor and the heads of departments for their co-operation extended during the year.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. MESKELL,
Superintendent of Sanitary Department.

REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER
OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER
CITY HALL, SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS
January 1, 1937.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit the sixty-first Annual Report, con- taining a brief summary of the work performed by the Highway Department, during the year 1936, with recommendations for necessary additions the coming year.
This department has charge of the construction, altera. tions, repair, maintenance and management of ways, streets, sidewalks and bridges; the setting out and care of shade trees ; the suppression of gypsy and brown tail moths, elm leaf beetles and other pests injurious to trees ; and cleaning and watering of the streets.

SNOW AND ICE
All streets were plowed and opened for traffic, snow was removed from the principal business centers, also around all public buildings and grounds. Special requests for funerals, weddings and other occasions were given prompt attention.
366
ANNUAL REPORTS
Owing to so few available dumping places for the disposal of the snow, it is necessary to make long hauls from some parts of the city, which delays the work unless a large force of extra men and trucks are hired. I recommend that better dumping facilities be provided to save this extra expense.
Warning signs were erected on streets where coasting was allowed and ashes spread at the foot of the hills for the protec- tion of the public. Icy and slippery streets and sidewalks were made safe as possible.
SIDEWALKS MAINTENANCE
Police and public reports pertaining to all kinds of defects in sidewalks were given prompt attention. General repairs were made on brick and granolithic sidewalks, edgestones reset and gutters relaid. The dirt sidewalks were graded and filled.
$20,950.00 was expended on Sidewalks Maintenance.
STREET CLEANING
All streets are thoroughly cleaned during the year. The public squares and business sections receive daily attention. Special requests and reports of dirty streets were promptly attended to.
$31,250.00 was expended for Street Cleaning.
SUPPRESSION OF MOTHS
This department cares for and inspects all trees, both public and private, in regard to moths and other tree pests. Gypsy and Satin moth nests were painted with creosote. Tussock, Tent and Brown tail moth nests were destroyed.
The department should be equipped with a new motor power sprayer to do efficient work.
$2,350.00 was expended for Suppression of Moths.
CARE OF TREES
The majority of the public trees in the city are in good condition. Many of the old and unsightly trees have been removed and replaced by new ones, others have been trimmed and pruned. New trees have been planted on request and guards and supports renewed. Many of the poplar trees have
367
STREET COMMISSIONER
been taken out because of the roots growing into and obstruct- ing the drainage system. On account of the hard paved streets and sidewalks city trees do not thrive as on private property or parks and need constant attention.
$5,118.69 was expended for 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.
No appropriation was made for this account.
MISCELLANEOUS
Permits are issued by this department to the various cor- porations and contractors to open streets and sidewalks, said openings to be restored to original conditions at their ex- pense. Permits were issued to cross sidewalks and occupy streets subject to specified conditions. Driveways for garages and filling stations were constructed after the owners peti- tioned for same and sufficient funds deposited to cover the cost of construction.
This department maintains its own municipal repair shops for the various lines of work. Most of the maintenance and repair work on the automobile equipment of this department is done in our shop at the City Stables.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
Traffic lines were painted and warning signs erected at schools, playgrounds and dangerous locations. Particular at- tention has been given to painting of cross walk lines in the business centers and squares. Parking and No Parking loca- tions were plainly designated and safety zones established.
Danger and traffic signs were repainted and street signs erected and repaired
All traffic control and the location of all traffic signs, parking spaces, painted lines, are now under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Commission, Major Freeman L. Nelson, Chair- man, office at City Hall.
368
ANNUAL REPORTS
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that, as far as possible, old brick sidewalks badly in need of repairs, be replaced with granolithic. That the annual custom of treating the street surfaces with a tar and sand preparation, which has been discontinued the past three years, be continued in order to preserve the pavement and that the expense should be included in the general tax rate and not charged, as formerly, as a separate item under street sprinkling.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Board of Aldermen and the men of the department for their support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. J. SULLIVAN, Street Commissioner.
