CITY ENGINEER


For the immediate improvement of conditions in this city the highway bridges and approaches over the steam railroads should be rebuilt the full width of the street at Boadway, (North Somerville), Prospect Street and Washington Street, near Union Square; and Northern Artery over the Fitchburg Railroad and the dangerous railroad grade crossing at Park Street should be abolished, as decreed by the courts a number of years ago.


A compiled table of areas showing a sub-division of city's acreage was published in the 1925 report.


I respectfully refer to some of the more important recom- mendations and suggestions made in reports of the City En- gineer for a number of years past, which are for the improve- ment of conditions in this city.


SEWER DIVISION


The designing and constructing of sewers, storm drains, catch basins, house drains, etc., maintenance of the drainage system and other items in this division are under the direction and control of the City Engineer. Construction work done this year was done with Federal funds under Emergency Relief AsĀ· sociation or Public Works Administration, subject to the gen- eral supervision and inspection of this department.

Total catch basins in the city for storm drainage purposes 2,459


Sump manholes on drainage system 139


The past year 32 manholes have been built over old exist- ing sewers by E. R. A. labor which are a great benefit in clean- ing and keeping systems clean.


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 striving to accomplish. The growing tendency to occupy all land to its fullest extent with houses, garages, granolithic drives and walks, combined with the paved bituminous streets which pre- vail, has reduced the soakage area to the extent that the con- sequent increased run-off during storms is a heavy tax upon the capacity of the sewers. It is therefore advisable to extend the storm drain system as fast as finances permit, particular- ly 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in general west of Cedar Street drains to Ale- wife Brook through a tributary known as Tannery Brook which has been replaced by pipe and conduits.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 twelve to fifteen, and city trucks, are kept continually at work, flush- ing, cleaning and repairing the city's drainage system, includ- ing catch basins, the expense necessarily increasing yearly as sewers, storm drains and catch basins are added to the system, and the distance increased to the dumping places, only 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.


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.


Fifty-one permits have been issued for private drain con- nections from buildings to sewers or storm drains, thirty-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 sev- eral cases, these private drains were relaid with iron pipe and leadite or similar joints ; which type of construction is recom- mended by this department in districts where trees are found.

CITY ENGINEER


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.


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 advice, 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.


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 in- to city sewer mains and partially blocking sections of sewers as has occurred at various times.


There are to date about 18,519 private drain connections with the city's drainage system.


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 favor- ably with other cities in the vicinity.

The city has become so densely populated (averaging nearly 26,000 people a square mile) that some of the larger park areas should be more extensively utilized for public rec- reation and physical training purposes. On several of the playfields concrete buildings should be constructed, additional apparatus and shelters provided and some of the smaller play- ground areas should be enclosed by wire fencing for protec- tion.


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.


183


CITY ENGINEER


In certain localities of the city well lighted playgrounds should be maintained during the summer evenings for the young men and women 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.


Respectfully submitted,


LEON G. AYER, City Engineer.

JURORS


In accordance with Chapter 234 of the General Laws, as amended by Chapter 311 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Com- missioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors. The Board has established a system of having each person provisionally selected for jury fill out a questionnaire and appear before a member of the Board at the office and make oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the service that would be required of him as a juror. These examinations also enable the Board to know the educa- tional qualifications of each prospective juror.


The members of the Board make an impartial selection from all parts of the city of men of various occupations and are of the opinion that the persons finally selected, represent an average of our citizenship.


The jury list prepared by the Board for the year 1936, contains the names of 1281 voters.
