ANNUAL REPORTS
part of the besieging lines of Boston in 1775 and 1776. The total weight of the cannon, including a 75-millimeter cannon from Foss Park, was 53,000 pounds.
These cannon were delivered to the Watertown Arsenal and will be used in the production of munitions to be used in this war. The Federal Government indicated their desire to replace these cannon, after the present war, with guns that will be captured from our Axis enemies.
POST-WAR PLANNING
During the past year his Honor Mayor John M. Lynch ap- pointed the City Engineer as Chairman of a committee of five to be known as THE PUBLIC WORKS RESERVE PRO- GRAM COMMITTEE. This local group is established to work in co-operation with THE NATIONAL RESOURCES PLAN- NING BOARD and THE FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY. Its aim is to assemble data to prepare plans and specifications, and estimates of costs, for public improvements of a needed and useful character to be used as a basis for a broad program of public works in the post-war period. The committee held several meetings during the year and conferred with depart- ment heads for proposals and suggestions of needed improve- ments in the various departments of the City. It is hoped dur- ing the coming year to carry on this essential work so that, if and when the need arises after the present war, a well planned and thorough program of much needed public improvements will be available for operation. By carrying on this advance planning now, a needless waste of public funds will be elimin- ated, and the City of Somerville will have a reservoir of use- ful public improvements suitable for inclusion in any national program of public works that may be developed.
INSPECTION OF MATERIALS
I am pleased to report at this time that during the past five years testing of certain materials, used in construction and pur- chased by the City, has been carried on by an independent Test- ing Laboratory. The results of this work have justified the insignificant expense entailed. This work should be extended to include testing of all materials purchased by the City.
May I extend at this time my personal appreciation for the excellent spirit of co-operation extended to this department by all City departments and Municipal officials?

STREET COMMISSIONER
REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER
City Hall, Somerville, Massachusetts Office of the Street Commissioner
January 1, 1943
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit the sixty-seventh annual report con- taining a brief summary of the work performed by the High- way Department, during the year 1942, 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 ; the 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 dumping places for the disposal of snow, it is necessary to make long hauls from some parts of the city. This
256
ANNUAL REPORTS
delays the work unless a large force of extra men and trucks is employed. I recommend that better facilities for dumping be provided to save this extra expense.
Warning signs were posted on streets where coasting was allowed and ashes spread at the foot of hills for the protec- tion of the public. Iey and slippery streets and sidewalks were made safe as soon as possible.
HIGHWAYS AND SIDEWALKS MAINTENANCE
Police and public reports pertaining to all kinds of defects in the streets and sidewalks were given prompt attention. Gen- eral repairs were made on streets, brick and granolithic side- walks, edgestones reset and gutters relaid.
The dirt sidewalks were graded and filled.
$139.041.57 was expended on Highways and Sidewalks Maintenance.
STREET CLEANING
All streets are thoroughly cleaned during the year. The pub- lic squares and business sections receive daily attention. Spe- cial reports of dirty streets are given prompt attention.
The automatic street sweeper was operated throughout the year successfully. The main thoroughfares and squares re- ceived attention in the early hours to avoid traffic and parked cars so that the entire width of the streets could be cleaned. This sweeper was also in operation through the day on side streets. I recommend that at least two more automatic sweep- er's be furnished to this branch of the department.
$25,122.24 was expended for Street Cleaning.
SUPRESSION OF MOTHS - CARE OF TREES
This department cares for the trees, both public and priv- ate, 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.
257
STREET COMMISSIONERS
The department should be equipped with a new motor power sprayer to do more efficient work.
The majority of the publie trees in this 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 sup- ports renewed. Many poplar trees have been removed on ac- count of the roots growing into and obstructing drainage sys- tems.
On account of the hard paved streets and sidewalks, city trees do not thrive as on private property or parks and conse- quently need constant attention.
$8,147.80 was expended for Suppression of Moths and Care of Trees.
MISCELLANEOUS
Permits are issued to the various corporations and con- tractors, by this department, to open streets and' sidewalks. Said openings to be restored to original conditions at the ex- pense of the petitioners. To cross sidewalks and occupy streets for building purposes permits were issued on specified condi- tions. Driveways for garages and filling stations were con- structed after the owners petitioned for same and deposited a sufficient sum of money to cover the cost of the construction.
This department maintains its own municipal repair shop 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 bus- iness centers and squares. Parking and No Parking signs at designated locations and safety zones were plainly marked.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that, as far as possible, old brick sidewalks be replaced by granolithic. That the city acquire more motive.
258
ANNUAL REPORTS
street cleaning equipment especially for night work on through streets and business sections. Several trucks should be pur- chased to replace some very old ones now in use.
I also recommend that the Northern Artery railroad bridge be repaired as soon as possible and that the reconstruction of the underpass walls and sidewalks on Medford street near the packing houses be given early attention. Both of these loca- tions are a menace to public safety.
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
