Eight physicians are employed by the Board of Health for Inspection of School Children and to them are referred all children who show evidence of disease or abnormal condition. Children who are found unfit to remain in school are sent home with a notice to the parent or guardian that the family physi- cian should be consulted.
Children in the first and fourth grades of the elementary schools and those in the first year of junior high and first year of senior high school are examined annually and any de- fects discovered are called to the attention of the parents or guardians.
In accordance with the provisions of the statutes, tests of sight and hearing are made by principals and teachers.
Monthly inspections of the school buildings and premises are made and suggestions or criticisms are referred to the proper authorities. Every effort is made to protect the health
of the children and to cooperate with the parents in keeping the children in as normal a condition as possible.

ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Honorable William J. Donovan City Hall Somerville, Massachusetts
January 7, 1956
Dear Sir:
I am pleased to submit the following report on activities of the Somerville Department of Public Works during the period from January 1st, 1955 through December 31st, 1955.
Within this period we have progressed steadily toward our goal - a compact, well equipped, trained and efficient De- partment of Public Works.
We have acquired some additional, badly needed equip- ment, including a truck mounted catch basin cleaning machine - a street sweeping machine - two large dump trucks with 5 yard bodies - two power wagons - one power operated concrete and asphalt cutter and a variety of smaller items ranging from portable staging to pumps. Modern equipment of this type is invaluable and most economical in performing necessary service for our residents throughout the city.
Our repair shop is handling the bulk of normal repairs to snow fighters, street sweepers, trucks and equipment and has been of great assistance during emergency periods.
Our paint shop has repainted 33 trucks and a variety of equipment, ranging from horses and portable staging to police boxes. In addition, they have painted and lettered hundreds of signs and are now painting room numbers on classroom doors in some of our school buildings.
Our Highway Division has performed its usual duties of snow plowing, sanding, scraping, street sweeping, street clean-
227
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
ing, tree removal, tree trimming, tree spraying, street and side- walk repairs, edgestone repairs, construction of new driveways, construction of new concrete sidewalks, hot top sidewalks, painting center lines, cross-walks, silhouettes and warning signs. During January, February and March, they have assisted the Sanitary Department and have performed many other du- ties, such as removing Christmas trees from squares, setting and maintaining sand boxes throughout the city, removal of dead animals, and clearance of debris following storms. In addition, this Division has worked with and assisted Utility Companies in topping and trimming trees and encouraged Utility Companies to use sidewalks for new installations, there- by gaining for the city, substantial sections of new sidewalk without expense to the tax-payer. Two prime examples are the 1375 feet of new concrete sidewalk on Medford Street, in the Magoun Square section, installed by the New England Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, and new hot top and concrete sidewalks installed by the Boston Edison Company on one side of Washington Street and Prospect Street from the Charlestown line to the Cambridge line. They have further reduced their cost of operation by closing the Highway night office and com- bining it with Water Division night office. A partial list of their accomplishments this year includes:
Installation of 122 new street signs. Insallation of 114 traffic regulatory signs. Construction of 90 new driveways and remodelled 11.
Construction of 10,510 running feet of new concrete sidewalk at 131 locations.
Construction of 1,443 running feet of new bituminous concrete sidewalk at 18 locations.
Removal of 118 tree stumps.
Topping of 72 trees to stump level ready for next stump re- moval operation.
Operation of paint shop, repair shop and gasoline pumps. Permits issued to occupy sidewalk for various reasons-95. Permits issued to public utilities for street and sidewalk openings-188.
The Water Division performed its usual duties of maintain- ing the water system, including repair of leaks - thawing of pipes - repair of hydrants - repair of meters - installation of new meters - general maintenance of the high and low pressure systems - meter reading and water billing. We have installed a new Addressograph and a Billing Machine, designed to further increase efficiency and accuracy in the operation of this revenue producing division. This division has been ab- normally busy due to sustained spells of below-freezing weather, in the early part of the year, causing a large number of leaks: its participation in the department's effort to alleviate
228
ANNUAL REPORTS
hardship in the partially vacated brick-bottom section, during freezing weather, and the necessity of making many repairs and service changes because of the unusually heavy volume of construction work throughout the city.
This division is vitally affected by such major construction projects as the M.D.C. Water Tunnel-the Washington Street Overpass - the Chapter 90 Street Program - the Urban Re- development Program - the Edison Transmission Line - the construction of new school buildings and private industrial construction. In addition, they have handled many jobs, such as broken main on Adrian Street, new main at Capen Street, relocation of hydrant at Pope School, installation of hydrant guards and repairs of all types on construction work. Included in their accomplishments, are the following:
Excavated and repaired leaks at 494 locations. Major repairs or replacements on 34 hydrants. Blew out 85 gate boxes. Cleaned out 26 service boxes. Repacked main gates on Chapter 90 streets.
Replaced broken gate boxes throughout city.
Removed, repaired and replaced 121 water meters.
Our Lights and Lines Division handled its normal activities of electrical inspection - maintenance and care of Police and Fire Signal System - Police and Fire Radio System - traffic light installations - all cable and underground work for above systems and the maintenance and collection of parking meter receipts. This division covers all fires of two alarms or more and carefully checks condition of wiring following floods or fires. They have been particularly active this year since they, like the Water Division, are greatly affected by the scope of heavy construction work in progress in our city. Among their accomplishments this year are:
Installation of lighting facilities at Lincoln Park Basket Ball Court. Installation of time control on Basket Ball lights at Shaw Playground.
Operation and maintenance of field lighting installations at Trum Field and Glen Street Playground.
Inspection of installation and re-routing of traffic on Edison Transmission Line job.
Installation of Parking Meters at Davis Square Parking Lot. Installation of new Fire and Police Boxes to protect new schools. Major repairs to underground cable system damaged by ex- cavation equipment throughout city.
Installation of spot lights to protect both traffic officers and motorists.
Transferred 4 mobile radio sets from old to new police cars and installed 3 new sets, two of which are on fire equip- ment.
229
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Painted 864 parking meter stalls plus no parking signs on the ends of each area.
Painted 32 sets of traffic light installations-206 Fire Alarm Boxes and 96 Police Signal Boxes.
Installation of new traffic signals and pedestrian lights at Cross and Pearl Streets.
Completion of Air Raid Attack Warning System.
It is our conviction that Somerville now has an Attack Warning System as good and reliable as any city in the Metro- politan Area. This system, push-button controlled from Fire Alarm Headquarters, is designed to blanket the city and is tested at noon each Friday. Our Attack Warning System com- prises the following:
5 H. P. Siren at Engine 2-Broadway and Cross Street. 5 H. P. Siren at Engine 3-Union Square. 5 H. P. Siren at Engine 5-Somerville Avenue and Lowell St. 5 H. P. Siren at Engine 6-Teele Square.
5 H. P. Siren at Paul Revere Apartments-Broadway and Main Street.
2 H. P. Siren at Perry School-Washington Street.
2 H. P. Siren at Grimmons School-Shore Drive.
2 H. P. Siren at Nathan Tufts Park-Powder House Square. Compressed Air Horn-Engine 4-Highland Ave. at Grove St.
Compressed Air Horn-Engine 7-Highland Ave. at Conwell St. Compressed Air Horn-City Hall-Highland Ave. at School St.
The compressed air horns at Grove Street and City Hall are not new installations but are included in Attack Warning System. The entire system is maintained by the Lights and Lines Division and is located on city property with the excep- tion of the Paul Revere Apartments. We were able to obtain a lease on Paul Revere Apartments site at no cost to city and the roof mounting on this building was constructed by our own Building Division.
We have received 3 new gasoline driven stand-by generator sets purchased under Federal Matching Funds Program. This division will install these units to guarantee operation of our vital installations at Fire Alarm Headquarters, Police Station and Public Works Building during loss of power usually asso- ciated with severe storms or emergencies of similar nature.
The Building Division has performed its normal functions of general repairs and maintenance on all school and public buildings, inspection and issuance of building, plumbing and gas permits, and a close check on all construction activities throughout the entire city. This busy division has completed a long list of repairs of all types to our Public Buildings and Schools, which would be impractical to attempt to list in this
230
ANNUAL REPORTS
report, repair work covers a wide scope ranging all the way from removal of rubbish to the installation of window cord and repair of oil burners. A few of their accomplishments are listed as follows:
Constructed a new modern classroom for special classes at Forster School.
Constructed a new Health Room at Southern Junior High School. Constructed a new Shower Room at Southern Junior High School. Reconstructed the Girls' Gymnasium at Southern Junior High School.
Installed modern dishwashing machines, involving major con- struction changes at the Northeastern Junior High-the Southern Junior High and the Western Junior High.
In addition, the Building Division has continued and ex- panded its clean-up and paint-up program inaugurated last year, a few typical examples:
Grimmons School-Auditorium, including stage and floor, teachers' office and rest room.
Forster School-Class-room and two offices.
Vocational School-Health Room and one Special Class-room. Southworth School-Special Class-room.
Prescott School-Cafeteria, two stock-rooms and front en- trance.
Hanscom School-Room 10.
Burns School-4 classrooms and font entrance.
Durell School-4 class-rooms, all corridors, stairways and en- trances.
Baxter School-2 class-rooms.
Bingham School-2 class-rooms.
Western Junior High-1 class-room, principal's office, front entrance and corridor, east, west and northeast corridors on first floor.

Southern Junior High-Health Room and Teachers' office. Somerville High Gymnasium-Ladies' rest-room, front en- trance and foyer.
Somerville High-Boys' toilets and cafeteria floor.
Central Library-Dining room, front entrance and ladies' rest-room.
We are particularly gratified, having completed full scale inspection of all our school buildings, together with the State Inspector, to advise that we have received a certificate for every single building. This full scale inspection occurs every five years and has confronted the city with some serious situa- tions in the past.
The Building Division office and inspectors handle items ranging from rental of Public Buildings to issuance of permits. Following are a few tabulations for year 1955.

This division acquired a tremendous amount of useable material when it requested and received permission, following transfer of Bennett School to Urban Redevelopment Authority, to remove salvageable material from the building. Building Division personnel promptly stripped the building of furniture, plumbing and electrical fixtures, blackboards, locks, hardware, valves, fittings, and the heating system complete including the boiler, oil burner and storage tank. All this material will be used in making repairs to school buildings throughout the city.
