HURRICANE EDNA


On the morning of September 11, 1954 it was again neces- sary to alert this department - emergency measures taken

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT


were practically a repeat of the first storm with the additional problem of severe flooding and washouts. We encountered practically the same problems in this storm as we did in the first storm although not quite as severe in intensity. I will not repeat our operations in this instance as they so closely parallel the first storm.


Now that these two costly and terrible experiences are his- tory I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and warm gratitude to all who helped through these trying times. I cannot say enough for all the members of the Department of Public Works - the Fire and Police Departments - the Auxiliary Police - the Civilian Defense group - the Sanitary Department-hired crews-utility company crews-doctors-nurses-M. T. A. crews and the hundreds of residents who loaned a hand.


Construction of two new elementary schools has been started and is progressing nicely. Following public advertise- ments for bids, contracts for the new schools were awarded to the lowest bidders with the contract for the Capen Street School going to Vara Construction, Inc. of Boston and the con- tract for the Meacham Street School going to Concrete Con- struction Company of Everett. To guard the city's interest this Department is following construction closely, Supt. of Build- ings Anthony Rosselli has taken over the large Meacham Street School as "Clerk of the Works" and inspector Fred Hanna is assisting him as "Clerk of the Works" at the Capen Street School. This move accomplishes a dual purpose, first, it places our own men in charge of construction and second, it saves the city the cost of hiring "clerks of the works" for both jobs.


Plans and preparations for the third new elementary school which will be constructed on the old Pope School site are well along and start of construction on this school is planned for early Spring.


This has been a busy and eventful year and our entire department looks forward toward resuming and increasing our new construction activities as soon as weather permits.


I trust this report will meet with your approval and ac- ceptance.


Respectfully submitted,


WALTER J. MANNING,


Commissioner of Public Works
