The Commissioners found the old tomb in such condition that it would not be well to let it stand for future use, and as it occu- pied the best place on which to build the new one, they concluded to have it taken down and use the material. The tomb has been built, covering a part of the ground occupied by the old one, but about ten feet further north, which enlarges Cypress square and secures a sufficiently wide passage in front of it.
We approved plans for the tomb on the 20th of April, and on the 17th of June a contract was executed with Messrs. Mann & Bigelow for the construction at a cost of thirty-seven hundred dollars ($3,700 00).
There was also expended for wing walls the sum of six hundred and thirty dollars and thirty-seven cents, ($630 37), making the cost of the tomb $4,330 37.
Fourteen dollars and seventy cents were drawn for other ex- penses, which leaves an unexpended balance of six hundred and fifty-four dollars and ninety-three cents ($654 93), of your appro- priation to be added to the sinking fund. The contractors have well and faithfully executed their work, which was accepted with entire satisfaction by the Commissioners.
The side and rear walls are heavy and laid in cement, the brick were also laid in cement, and the whole structure is so thorough and substantial, and the soil in which it stands is of such nature, that we feel sure it will answer the purpose for which it is de- signed long after the present generation shall have passed away.
The west wall is faced on both sides and is sufficiently strong to support another wall, and the front may be extended so that an addition, if needed at any future time, may be made without mov-

ing or injuring the architectural design of the front and entrance.
The necessary clearing and repairing of the avenues which each year are more extended as new ground is opened, has been done with more than usual care. In many places they have been improved by increasing their width, by putting in culverts and making water courses to prevent washing, by straightening the sides, turfing banks, leveling and making walks. In no former year have they been kept in as good order, or been left in the autumn in so good condition to stand the action of the winter's snows and rains, and the thaws of early spring.
The ground between Chestnut and Pine, and extending to Wil- low avenue, which was grubbed and cleared in 1871, was carefully prepared for laying out early in the spring, and terraces were made where there were steep declivities, and a passage-way which we have named Hawthorne avenue was made, running par- allel with Chestnut avenue and separated from it by a double tier of lots, sufficiently wide for a single carriage-way, if at any time it should be necessary to drive over it, but intended for a walk for the convenience of those who select the inside lots.
One hundred and eight lots were laid out and the lot of the Mass. State Lunatic Asylum, sufficiently large for twelve common lots, is within the limits referred to. On Juniper avenue, a con- siderable distance northeast from the front entrance way, and sep- arate from all others, several lots were laid out when the cemetery was first opened. They were principally taken by persons living in South Worcester. The avenue has been improved and re- graded, ground adjoining that already occupied cleared, and thir- teen lots laid out.
On the east side of River avenue, where the allotment for small and cheap lots was made, new ground has been cleared and fifty-four lots laid out.
Near Sycamore and Larch avenues, adjoining the ground taken for the burial of the remains removed from the Pine Meadow burial grounds in 1866, after proper preparation, forty-five lots were laid out, and eighteen of them have already been appropria- ted for the burial of remains removed. The same considerate and tender regard for the feelings and wishes of persons interested in these removals, that characterized a similar work performed under

the superintendance of Mr. D. Waldo Lincoln in 1866, and who has charge of the present movement, has made this very delicate undertaking satisfactory to all concerned as relatives and friends.
The arrangement made with Mr. Lincoln is satisfactory to the Commissioners, and we are certain will be advantageous to the city and all parties interested.
We hope and trust that the Pine Meadow grounds will soon be entirely cleared by the removal of all the bodies buried there, and that the friends and descendants may feel that they are rest- ing in the retired and quiet shades of Hope Cemetery.
Between Sycamore, Maple and Larch avenues, and extending from Linden to Maple, a new avenue has been laid out, worked and graded, and considerable ground made nearly ready to be laid into lots.
In consideration of the greater care in preparing the ground and working the avenues, we have increased the price of lots. We have found the highest priced ones were selected and are more satisfactory to purchasers because less is left for them to do, and certainly the cost of future care will be greatly diminished.
In making the various improvements, extending over several acres of land in different portions of the cemetery, we have ex- pended in addition to $4,330 37 which was the cost of the tomb, the further sum of $3,036 45, making the total expenditure, $7,366 82.
During the year 1872 one hundred and twenty-nine (129) lots were sold, at an average price of $31 69 per lot. The largest number sold in any previous year was eighty-nine (89) for $1,261 50 in 1854, and the highest sum received in any previous year was $1,440 00 for fifty-nine (59) lots in 1869. We have pre- pared and will insert as a matter of interest and some value, a table showing the sales of lots since the opening of the cemetery in 1852. The accounts before the establishment of the Commis- sion were a liitle confused, but were brought into a clear and in- telligible form by the late Treasurer, Geo. W. Wheeler, Esq.
We can only give with the number of lots, the gross receipts for the first three years,

Total receipts for lots,
The statement of our receipts and expenditures which is ap- pended to, and is part of our report, presents a full account and shows a balance of $3,560 81 for the necessary improvements in the year 1873.
A settlement has not yet been made with the railroad company for lots taken for families interested in the removals from Pine Meadow. We shall receive an additional sum from that source. We shall also receive about $150 from the sale of wood which has been cut when clearing the ground. These funds will be suf- ficient for the improvements it will be best to make this year, and will justify the generous expenditure which secures larger returns, without any risk of creating a debt.
At a meeting of the Commissioners held Sept. 20, 1872, the Chairman communicated to the Board the offer on the part of the Hon. Isaac Davis of two Italian statues, "Hope and Suppli- cation," to decorate the cemetery. It was voted that the Secre- tary be requested to inform Mr. Davis that his generous offer of the Italian statues of Hope and Supplication is accepted and that they will be removed at an early day. This valuable gift will add to the beauty of the grounds by joining works of art with those of nature, and we acknowledge it the more heartily because we remember that for fifteen years, and sometimes at great personal sacrifice, Mr. Davis was a member of this Com- missson.
The unavoidable causes that prevented the finishing of the tomb as early as was expected in the Autumn, also prevented our preparing a place for, and setting up the statues. We shall see the work well done as early as can be in the Spring.

Many of the proprietors of lots have improved them by curb- ing and the erection of substantial and costly monuments, and there has been a gradual improvement in the method of laying out lots, which will help preserve and be in keeping with the natural gifts of beauty to this consecrated spot: "Where the thoughtful and meditative may resort for contemplation, and the bereaved and desponding may derive consolation, even amid the trophies of the grave, from hope and faith in immortality."
With sincere thanks from ourselves, and in behalf of the own- ers of lots in Hope Cemetery, to the City Council for the gener- ous appropriation you made last year, and with grateful acknowl- edgment of the courteous and efficient aid we have received from the City Treasurer, Wm. S. Barton, Esq., and his clerks, we sub- mit this report.

REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
To the City Council :
GENTLEMEN :- Entering upon the duties of City Engineer, to which you elected me, on the 2d of September last, to fill out the term made vacant by the resignation of the Hon. Phinehas Ball, who had so long and ably served the city, I submit this my first Annual Report.
The most important work under construction by the city the present year, has been the laying a High Service Main Water Pipe, the necessity of which was fully set forth in the last Report of my predecessor.
Adopting the recommendation of the Joint Standing Committee on Water, the City Council on Feb. 12th, authorized the receiving of proposals, and making contracts for cast iron pipe, and for laying the same for a High Service Main, to be 20 inches in diamater, from Leicester Reservoir to New Worcester, and 16 inches diam- ter through Cambridge, Millbury, Ward, Endicott, Vernon, Prov- idence, Grafton, Mulberry and Wilmot to Elliott Streets ; and 12 inches diameter from Elliott Street in Wilmot to Belmont, thence to Catharine ; and in Catharine to Channing Street, a distance, for the three dimensions, of about 39,000 lineal feet.
On the 14th of February, a contract was made with the War- ren Foundry and Machine shop Company, Phillipsburg, N. J., to make and deliver on board vessels at Elizabethport, bound for Allyn's Point, Norwich, or Providence, 14,400 lineal feet of 20 inch pipe ; 22,000 lineal feet of 16 inch pipe ; 2,600 lineal feet

The contracts were made for the delivery of the pipe to be commenced by the 1st day of May, 1872, and completed fully on or before the 1st day of October, following.
To Stephen H. Tarbell, of Boston, was awarded the contract for laying the pipe, who commenced the work soon after the arrival of the first cargo, about the 1st of July.
Hindrances in casting and shipping the pipe, and difficulty in procuring help have served to delay the work, so that at present we have only 3} miles laid, somewhat over one-half the whole amount ; the part laid however, being the largest in diameter, most difficult to lay, and most important of the High Service Pipe.
Upon the completion of the work to New Worcester, which will be done as speedily as possible, the pipe being already laid through Cambridge Street, it is designed to connect the High Service with the present system at Southbridge Street, where by means of a regulating pressure valve, we shall be enabled to sup- ply the loss of head to which those living in the most elevated parts of the city are now liable.
With the disastrous conflagration of our Metropolitan city to urge us, every reasonable means will be resorted to, to furnish an abundant supply of water as speedily as possible.
The increasing demands of the city make it evident that our present supply will soon be insufficient, and in this view examina- tions have been made of the several available sources to which we must look for a supply of the deficiency. That of using the sur- plus waters of Kettle Brook to fill the Leicester Reservoir, which

can be done so readily by a conduit, the cost of which will be much less than would be required to bring it from any other source, would seem to be the most natural and feasible way, provided it can be done without too much damage to mill owners on the stream.
A second source of supply is to be found in the head waters of Mill Brook, which can be taken at a point about two miles from Lincoln Square, and give from 60 to 80 feet head through the parts of the city where the most water is used for manufacturing purposes and railroad stations.
The sewerage of a city as large as ours, claims special atten- tion, inasmuch as its condition affects materially the health and comfort of the community ; and as in previous years considerable expenditures have been made, so in years to come, as the city be- comes more and more populous, new expenditures will have to be made, to keep pace with our growth and culture.
The walling of Mill Brook, which was commenced some six years since, has been continued through the past year, under the contract of Walker & Converse, as follows :-

By the first of Jan., 1873, the walling of Mill Brook will be finished from Cambridge Street to Prescott Street, with the ex- ception of 340 feet from Lincoln Square to Court Mills, and the water may be turned from the old into the new channel, when the sewerage from the Piedmont district, now emptying into the old

stream, shall have been carried across the intervening low land a distance of about 3,000 feet into the new channel near Cambridge Street bridge. This will necessitate a considerable outlay for a sewer of sufficient capacity to carry the drainage of so large a district.
The lands through which the sewer will pass, are not as yet laid out, and it will be necessary to locate a street or streets through which it may be laid, which should be done soon, and measures taken to begin the work of building this sewer as early as the season will allow.
Work on the general sewerage of the city has been carried on and sewers have been built in the several streets designated be- low, according to the orders made by the City Council.
