REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
WORCESTER, Jan. 16, 1886.
To the Honorable City Council.
GENTLEMEN :- In compliance with Section 3, Chapter 48, of the City Ordinances, I have the honor to submit the following report of the condition of the several buildings, the amount ex- pended for repairs and in the construction of new buildings and land purchased.
NEW BUILDINGS.
Since my last report the Chandler and Gage-street school- buildings have been completed and were occupied early in the spring term. These buildings contain ten rooms each and have a seating capacity of one thousand. As the six-room building at East Worcester was abandoned upon the occupation of the Gage-street building, the actual seating capacity would be seven hundred.
The amount expended upon the Chandler-street school-house during the year ending November 30, 1885, is $13,806.86.
Gage-street school-house $14,142.82.
MILLBURY-STREET SCHOOL-HOUSE.
This is a four-room building located on the Millbury street lot, and will have a seating capacity for two hundred scholars, and is to be provided with steam-heating apparatus for both di- rect and indirect heating. It will be completed ready for occu-

SUNNYSIDE SCHOOL-BUILDING.
This building is similar to the Millbury-street school-building, and is located on the corner of Sunnyside and Lee streets, upon a lot of land containing thirty thousand square feet, purchased of George Gates for the sum of twenty-four hundred dollars. It is to be heated by steam, both direct and indirect, and will accom- modate two hundred scholars. The amount of the contract for building, not including heating, furnishing, grading, or fencing, was $9,700.00, and there has been expended Nov. 30, 1885, the following amounts : $6,699.23 ; cost of brick $1,423.35 ; cost of land $2,400.00.
FREELAND-STREET SCHOOL-BUILDING.
This is designed for an eight-room building, containing accom- modations for four hundred scholars, and is located at the junc- tion of Freeland and Lowell streets, on a lot of land purchased of Charles M. Potter, of Philadelphia, containing thirty thou- sand square feet of land, and cost $3,750.00. The amount of the contract for building is $18,595.00, and there has been expended to date, the following amounts: $11,880.01; cost of brick $2,950.62 ; cost of land $3,750.00.

The additions to the Almshouse have been an extension of the west wing 29x70 feet, three stories high, with cellar eight feet deep for the storage of vegetables. The first story contains a truant-school-room, dormitory, dining-room, bath-room, and play-room; the second and third stories contain twelve rooms each, with bath-rooms and water-closets. By the finishing off of the attic in the north wing, twelve additional rooms were made, and
