SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The several school-buildings are in good repair, there having been many needed repairs done during the year. The Burncoat School-house has been slated, the Blithewood School-house has been shingled, Belmont School-house has been painted inside, old part, Ledge St. has been painted inside in part, new sewers have been built at East Worcester new and old houses, Providence and Salem Sts., City water has been put in all the rooms at Lamartine St., the boilers at the High School have been repaired and patched, and I recommend that they be replaced by two five-foot boilers of the same length as the old, with 80 tubes each, there not being heating capacity enough to properly heat the two buildings in severe cold weather, and that where the steam and return pipes cross the street, the space be enlarged so that the pipes can be repaired without digging up the street.
The following are the amounts expended for the different items :

THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
COMMISSIONERS OF HOPE CEMETERY,
FOR THE YEAR 1883.
To Hon. Charles G. Reed, Mayor, and the City Council of the City of Worcester.
The Commissioners of Hope Cemetery respectfully present their Thirtieth Annual Report of the Trust committed to their charge.
The past year has been marked with notable improvement in the general condition of the Cemetery and its belongings. Ex- perience has taught the officers of the Commission many lessons since the grounds were first purchased by the city. Old methods have been abandoned and new ones have been adopted to the manifest advantage of the Cemetery. For many years such parts of the grounds as were best adapted for immediate conver- sion into lots with the smallest amount of grading and prepara- tion were utilized, and only within the last ten years has the practical and comprehensive development of large areas been successfully carried out under the care and direction of an expe- rienced foreman, who has had the service of competent laborers. The constant employment in this class of work, supplemented by a sufficient supply of horses, carts and tools, which are stored in the barns belonging to the Corporation, have accomplished results in all respects satisfactory to the Commissioners and to those interested in the Cemetery. The present force which is constantly employed from April to November is 15 men and three horses. It is now thought best to lay out new territory into
446
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 38.
smaller sections than formerly and to make more frequent avenues for carriages in such a manner that there shall be no greater depth than three or four lots between the avenues, and to mark the bounds of the lots by stone posts, giving up the former passage- ways between lots and to provide more frequent carriage-ways. The use of iron and stone fences and turf borders is now dis- couraged as they occasion a large original expense and require constant outlay to keep them in condition. It is now the practice to grade new lots upon a level, or as nearly so as will comport with the general character of the section, and to mark the bounds by substantial stone posts, as the most enduring indications of their limits. The gutters upon many of the avenues have been paved with the stones saved in the process of grading, and thus the wear of the road bed will be greatly diminished. 540 feet of gutters have been laid on Chestnut avenue and 71 rods upon another new avenue. In the process of grading and reclaiming new land, large quantities of good loam from three inches to a foot in depth are taken, which is afterwards mixed with peat and forms the best kind of surface dressing.
REDEEMING NEW LAND.
The great work of the year has been the improvement of un- used land upon the south and west. Upon the line of Webster street the natural grade has been raised five or six feet. Nearly an acre of ground has been thus treated. It has been filled with material taken from the land in front of the Tomb and a double purpose was thus accomplished. Prospect Hill upon the north side has been graded to a level and 70 lots have been there laid out. The grading on Juniper avenue now finished will furnish 150 lots and there is still one acre of land ready to be plotted into lots.
SOUTH SIDE.
Two and a half acres of the peat meadow upon the south has been cleared of wood, ditched and cleared of stumps and one acre has been seeded down. The ditching has helped the neighboring
447
HOPE CEMETERY.
land, and it is hoped that some part of the expense will be shared in consideration of the benefit. There have been drawn from this bog 1,500 loads of peat for use the coming season. It mixes well with loam and keeps it friable and moist, and it is found that grass receives a better nourishment from such a composition than from a dressing composed only of loam. By means of the ditches, the bog in the dry season will admit of the passage of carts, so that a sufficient supply for each season can be obtained. Enough of the bog to furnish a supply of peat for several years has already been ditched. By this means three or four feet in depth of peat has already been drained. It is possible to drain eight feet in depth at some future time, at which point a gravel bottom is met. Peat to become ready for use requires a year's exposure after being drawn out before it is in the best condition for use. Uprooted trees three or four feet from the surface are found in sound condition. The whole of the bog was burned over during the summer by the carelessness of those occupied in clearing neighboring land, and the safety of the Cemetery was much endangered besides burning two feet of peat belonging to the Cemetery.
The amount of uncollected bills for labor upon lots is $378.40, most of which can be collected. The whole number of lots graded during the year is 114, and 506 have been cared for. The whole number of graves dug has been 420, of which 116 were for free burials. There has been expended $850 on the land in front of the Tomb and bordering upon Webster street, and 30 new lots will be for sale in the Spring. 12 lots have been cared for from the income from the fund paid for their perpetual care. There are now about 5,000 feet of water pipes in use, and 500 feet more will be required for use upon the land fronting on Webster street. It is thought best to close the gates of the Cemetery at night to prevent intrusion and to protect the grounds from stray cattle and horses.

The project of building a house for the foreman within the grounds has been somewhat considered. It has commended itself as a protective measure in providing for better care and over- sight of the premises at all times, thus ensuring to proprietors of lots a security against wanton injury, while thereby suitable quarters could be provided for the foreman. This subject will hereafter be considered more maturely.
The foreman has been authorized to do special work for the owners of lots and to receive pay therefor to be accounted as general receipts. If owners would generally avail themselves of this opportunity the appearance of the grounds would be much improved. The plan of uniformity in grading lots adopted in 1878 has been made retroactive as far as practicable, and old lots are being remodelled to conform to the new method. Mr. F. A. Barnes, the foreman of the Cemetery, has been appointed special policeman, to the advantage of the good order of the Cemetery.
In behalf and by order of the Commissioners.
