INSPECTION OF MATERIALS


I am pleased to report at this time that during the past two years testing of certain materials, used in construction and purchased by the City, has been carried on by an independent Testing Laboratory. The results of this work have justified the insignificant expense entailed. This wrok should be extended to include testing of all materials purchased by the City.


May I extend at this time my personal appreciation for the wonderful spirit of cooperation extended to this depart- ment by all City departments and Municipal officials ?

REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER


OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER


CITY HALL, SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS


January 1, 1940.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


Gentlemen :-


I respectfully submit the sixty-fourth annual report, con- taining a brief summary of the work performed by the High- way Department, during the year 1939, 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 re- moved from the principal business centers, also around all pub- lic buildings and grounds. Special requests for funerals, wed- dings and other occasions were given prompt attention. Owing to so few available dumping places for the disposal of the snow,


360


ANNUAL REPORTS


it is necessary to make long hauls from some parts of the city, which delay 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.


HIGHWAYS AND SIDEWALKS MAINTENANCE


Police and public reports pertaining to all kinds of defects in streets and sidewalks were given prompt attention. General repairs were made on streets, brick and granolithic sidewalks, edgestones reset and gutters relaid. The dirt sidewalks were graded and filled.


$152,131.97 was expended on Highway and Sidewalks Main- tenance.


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 at- tended to.


$25,119.68 was expended for Street Cleaning.


SUPPRESSION OF MOTHS -CARE OF TREES


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.


The majority of the public trees in the city are in good con- dition. Old and unsightly trees have been removed and re- placed by new ones, others have been trimmed and pruned. New trees have been planted on request and guards and supports re- newed. Many of the poplar trees have been taken out because of the roots growing into and obstructing the drainage system.


361


STREET COMMISSIONER


During the hurricane of September 21st, 1938, many trees were blown down, which are being replaced as soon as possible. On account of the hard paved streets and sidewalks city trees do not thrive as on private property or parks and need constant attention.


$8,126.32 was expended for Suppression of Moths-Care of Trees.


MISCELLANEOUS


Permits are issued by this department to the various corpor- ations and contractors to open streets and sidewalks, said open- ings to be restored to original conditions at their expense. Per- mits were issued to cross sidewalks and occupy streets sub- ject 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 construc- tion.


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. The conjestion and confusion of traffic at Powder House Square has been eliminated by the construction of a traffic circle, a great improvement over the previous traffic control at this loca- tion.


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


362


ANNUAL REPORTS


pavement and that the expense should be included in the gen- eral tax rate and not charged, as formerly, a separate item un- der street sprinkling. The sprinkling of streets has been dis- continued the past six years.


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
