REPORT OF
BUILDING COMMITTEE.
REPORT OF BUILDING COM- MITTEE.
MECHANICS STREET SCHOOL.
The first meeting of this Committee was held August 8, 1901, and an organization effected by the election of Herman S. Cheney as Chairman and Henry B. Montague as Secretary. The Committee found that the plan for the building had been chosen, apparently without any competition, and though not altogether satisfactory to all members of the Committee, having been accepted by the Town, bound the Committee to the architect and plan so furnished.
The Committee called for bids with the plans and specifications then in hand and seven were received, ranging from $10,500 to $15,950, and same were care- fully considered. Several failed to comply with the stipulation that a certified check for $500 be sent with the bid and consequently the bid could not be received. Several meetings were held and it became evident to the Committee that the building could not be properly erected and the expense kept within the appropriation
212
REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.
of Twelve Thousand Dollars. It was unanimously voted that the Committee decline to act unless a larger amount was appropriated and subsequently Four Thousand Dollars was voted in addition, making the total amount at the disposal of the Committee $16,000.
After careful investigation it was voted to reject all bids and to make certain changes in the plans and specifications before commencing to build. These changes included the plastering of all the basement ceilings, using metal lathing over the furnaces; using ribbed glass in basement windows: the laying of a basement floor of one inch best granolithic Portland cement over three inches of carefully rolled concrete gravel and the construction of a room outside the building of the same height as the basement, with a convenient bulk-head, to accommodate the coal supply and permit the removal of ashes and waste from the building. The contract for the construction of the building, with these changes, was awarded to Alexis Boyer for the sum of $12,813,30 on March 24th, 1902, and the contractor began work as soon thereafter as possible.
The matter of heating,ventilating and sanitary ar- rangements received careful attention from the Com- mittee. Bids were received from the Fuller- Warien Co., the Smith & Anthony Co., and the Magee Fur- nace Co., all of Boston. Messrs Cady, Boyer and Mon- tague, as a sub-committee, visited school houses in Worcester, Clinton, Everett and Revere, and saw all the systems in actual operation. After comparing the respective merits of the different systems the contract was given to the Magee Furnace Co., for $1160,
213
REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.
Unavoidable delays in obtaining materials from Southern points hindered the work, but it was occu- pied for [school purposes shortly after the opening of the schools in September last.
The Committee has graded the lot in addition to erecting the building, keeping well within the appro- priation as will be seen by the account. The balance of the Magee Furnace Co.'s contract and one or two other small bills, amounting to less than $300, remain to be paid. As the sewer system has not yet reached the school house lot a cess-pool has been built; but the building should be connected with the sewer as speed- ily as possible.
The Committee recommend that the unsightly corner at the junction of the streets be attended to at an early date. This expense will be approximately $400, as the brook must be covered with large stones and considerable filling material obtained, but when this is done and the entire lot covered with loam and seeded it will be one of the most attractive lots in towıl.
The Committee are informed that the school building has thus far proved entirely satisfactory for school purposes.

The work the past year has consisted in making many small improvements. A large number of ever- green trees and shrubs have been planted. A heavy stone wall has been built on the west side of the cem- etery. The pine grove on the east side of the ceme- tery has been cleaned up and trees trimmed making it a beautiful park. Bridges are built over the brook, making the grove easy of access, Some parts of the yard will have to be re-surveyed before the lots can be offered for sale.

SEWER COMMISSIONERS
SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
The Sewer Commissioners have had a busy year, holding meetings regularly, inspecting the work of new sewers from time to time, visiting the filtration plant frequently and examining sections of the town where sewers are demanded to ascertain the necessity therefor. In every case where sewers have been asked same have been found to be urgently needed and it only remains to choose which section should be built first and which can wait without danger to the neighborhood.
The section of sewers built this ycar has relieved a congested locality, and assessments for the expense of construction of this section are shortly to be im- posed. During the year the Treasurer has collected a large amount due for sewer assessments previously laid.
The sewer beds are working well. We have ar- ranged to have one man give his constant attention to the beds, so as to keep same to the highest point of efficiency, which is necessary owing to the largely in-
246

creased amount of sewage deposited there.
Several articles for new sewers will be found in the warrant and the voters can determine how much should be expended this year and which of the sewers asked for can wait until later.
We have now nearly four and one-half miles of sewers.
The Commissioners may usually be found at their office at the Town hall, on Thursday evening, at 7.30 o'clock.

GENTLEMEN : -
The extensions to the sewer system this year were on Hook, Hamilton, Marcy, Edwards and Pine streets, the work being done under vote and apppro- priation, made at the Annual meeting. The contract this year differed from previous contracts inasmuch as the contractor was to furnish all material and do all labor required, while in previous years it has been the custom of the Board to purchase the pipe used

REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
SEWER ENGINEER'S REPORT.
Proposals for doing the work were requested from ten reliable contractors and bids were received as fol- lows :
C. E. Trumbull & Co., Boston, Mass., $9,086 70.
Wm. J. McCarthy & Co , Somerville, Mass., 9,329 70
Geo. M. Bryne, Boston, Mass., 8,876 50
The contract was awarded to Mr. Bryne, he signing the contract and furnishing bonds as required by your Board.
Work was started July 2nd on Hook street, begin- ning at the Central street manhole and ending on Hamilton street near the Universalist church. While this work was under way the Southbridge & Stur- bridge Street Railway Co., under permit from the Se- lectmen, were moving their Hamilton street tracks from the center to the West side of the street. When this was done, construction of the Hamilton street line was started. This extended to the corner of Marcy street. It was wet and disagreeable work nearly the whole length, and at Crane street much of the line was through ledge the whole depth of the trench. Marcy and Edwards streets were good digging. The Edwards street extension to Pine and branch on Pine street were also nearly all rock which of course makes slow work.
As a whole the work was thoroughly done in a satisfactory manner, and personally supervised by . the contractor. A misunderstanding between Mr. Bryne

and the Street Railway Co., delayed for a short time the cleaning up of surplus material on Hamilton street, but this was soon settled by the former doing the work.
HOUSE CONNECTIONS.
The past year's work of extension of the sewer system seems to have met with favor by the owners of abutting property as shown by the house connect- ions. Hardly was the sewer completed before appli- cations for entrances were made and before the ground froze and closed the season's work, thirty-seven per- mits were asked and granted on the line of this year's work. Of these house connections twenty were made by Contractor Bryne under inspection of the Board and thirteen by the Board itself, the remaining four delay- ing work until a later time. In addition to these connections eleven were made by the Board with sew- eis built in previous years. This gives the total per- mits for 1902 as forty-eight, four of which were not built.

In submitting my first annual report, as Chief of the Police Department, for the year ending Feb. 28th, 1903, will say that the best of feeling has existed be- tween the members and Chief and all have cheerfully responded to all calls of duty and the best of feeling exists in this department. I would recommend that money be raised and appropriated for an Ambulance wagon to be located in the old engine room under the office of the Police Department.
Also that an emergency room be fitted up, as we see the need of a place near at hand in case of accidents.
We also recommend an extra appropriation to be paid the chief and other minor officers in this depart- ment.
