ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF THE STREET COMMSSIONER


Office of the Street Commissioner, City Hall, Somerville, Massachusetts.


January 1, 1944.


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


Gentlemen :-


I respectfully submit the sixty-eighth annual report, con- taining a brief summary of the work performed by the High- way Department, during the year 1943, with recommendations lor 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 the cleaning of 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 delays the work unless a large force of extra men and trucks


319


STREET COMMISSIONER


are 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 protection of the public. Icy 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. Dirt sidewalks were graded and filled.


On account of Government restrictions on all kinds of road materials, no reconstruction or resurfacing of streets and side- walks was done this year. Many require extensive repairs but owing to conditions it is only possible to do temporary work by patching, filling in depressions and making highways safe for public travel.


$149,419.49 was expended on Highway-Sidewalks Main- tenance.


STREET CLEANING


All streets are thoroughly cleaned during the year. The public squares and business sections receive daily care. Spe- cial reports of dirty streets are given prompt attention.


The automatic street sweeper was operated throughout the ýear successfully. The main thoroughfares and squares were cleaned in the early hours thus avoiding traffic and parked cars. This sweeper was also in operation through the day on side streets. I recommend that at least two more automatic sweep- ers be furnished to this branch of the department.


$28,657.61 was expended for Street Cleaning.


SUPRESSION 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


320


ANNUAL REPORTS


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 more efficient work.


The majority of the public trees in this city are in good condition. Old and unsightly trees have been removed and some replaced, others have been trimmed and pruned. New trees have been planted on request, guards and supports renewed. Many poplar trees have been removed on account of the roots growing into and obstructing drainage systems.


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.


$9,104.31 was expended for Supression of Moths and Care of Trees.


MISCELLANEOUS


Permits were 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 busi- ness centers and squares. Parking and No Parking signs at designated locations and safety zones were plainly marked.


321


STREET COMMISSIONER


On streets where trackless trolleys have replaced street cars, traffic conditions have been greatly improved. Some of the streets affected are Elm Street, Holland Street, Somerville Avenue, Highland Avenue and McGrath Highway.


RECOMMENDATIONS


I recommend that, as far as possible, old brick sidewalks be replaced by granolithic. That the city acquire more motive 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 and Lowell Street railroad bridges 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 atten- tion. Both of these locations 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,


A. JOSEPH GOGUEN,


Street Commissioner
