To continue these clubs, to form new ones, and to reach the desired goal, two cardinal recommendations are made. It is recommended that the Recreation Commission continue its attempt to obtain better housing facilities for these boys to carry on their activities. Not only those activities of a semi- athletic and an athletic nature, but also those of a non-athletic nature such as model-aeroplane building, committee and reg- ular club meetings. It is further recommended that the Recre- ation Commission in forming its budget for the coming year take into consideration the need for additional counselors to relieve those who, under present conditions, are forced to handle two and three clubs, and to consider the advisability of adjusting the wage scale of those counselors already in service. It is apparent that both of these recommendations can only be brought about by increased funds available.
The service of Mr. Charles C. Kelley, chief counselor for these clubs, has been effective, and the spirit of his work com- mendable. The same is true of the counselors in general.
GIRLS' A summary of the Girls' Clubs developments would CLUBS parallel the foregoing statement concerning the Boys' Clubs in almost every general feature-with variations inherent in the difference between boys' and girls' activities. Miss Jane A. McCarthy has been most devoted and highly efficient in her capacity as counselor for these clubs. There is extreme need for assistance to Miss McCarthy and a certainty that at extremely small financial cost the number of clubs could be quickly and profitably increased and the number of participating girls multiplied. The case is much the same as that of the Boys' Clubs. The discouragements from lack of facilities, lack of leadership personnel, and lack of financial support are being cheerfully met. There is some encouragement from the interest shown by so many mothers and other women.
261
RECREATION COMMISSION
SPIRIT OF The Superintendent takes this occasion to THE LEADER- SHIP CORPS call to the attention of the Commission once again that in the face of the discouraging difficulties of the year, the leadership corps which the Com- mission employs has given a notable effort to keep alive the values of the service and to make the most of the "skeleton" program which has been possible. In the face of discourage- ment, at considerable inconvenience and much overwork by these employes, they have held faithfully to the traditions of the service and have preserved their hope that eventually the Commission itself will be able to overcome its difficulties and restore the opportunities for continued service. That this at- titude has been shared by the Superintendent I respectfully hope your Commission will recognize.
A financial summary for the year is attached to this report.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER
OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER,
CITY HALL, SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :- Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit the sixty-third annual report, con- taining a brief summary of the work performed by the Highway Department, during the year 1938, with recommendations for necessary additions the coming year.
This department has charge of the construction, alterations, repair, maintenance and management of ways, streets, side- walks 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. 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 delay the work unless a large force of extra
263
STREET COMMISSIONER
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 pro- tection 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.
$17,856.93 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.
$29,093.61 was expended for Street Cleaning.
SUPPRESSION OF MOTHS
This department cares for the 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.
$3,262.71 was expended for Suppression of Moths.
CARE OF TREES
The majority of the public trees in the city are in good condition. 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 sup- ports renewed. Many of the poplar trees have been taken out because of the roots growing into and obstructing the drainage system.
During the hurricane of September 21st, 1938, hundreds of trees were blown down, these were removed. Others were
264
ANNUAL REPORTS
loosened in the ground to such an extent they had to be taken down.
On account of the hard paved streets and sidewalks city trees do not thrive as on private property or parks and need constant attention.
$3,409.54 was expended for Care of Trees.
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 expense. Permits were issued to cross sidewalks and occupy streets subject to specified conditions. Driveways for garages and filling stations were constructed after the owners petitioned for same and deposited a sufficient sum 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 re- pair work on the motor equipment of the 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.
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, be continued in order to preserve the pavement and that the expense should be included in the gen- eral tax rate and not charged, as formerly, a separate item under street sprinkling. The sprinkling of streets has been discontinued the past five years.
265
STREET COMMISSIONER
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 co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. CORBETT, Street Commissioner.
