As Cemetery street is across the meadow with from 10 to 40 feet of mud, there had to be piles driven to a solid foundation,


17


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


cross-pieces bolted to the piles and 6-inch x 8-inch hard-pine stringers laid upon the cross-pieces, and then the pipe on them; then cross-pieces bolted to the piles over the pipe with hard pine- pieces, sawed corner ways, placed on the stringers beside the pipe to keep them in place. A part of the ashes and street scrapings have been teamed to this street to make the fill. As the street keeps settling it will require more filling to bring it to grade.


Amount appropriated, $2,230; amount expended, $1,630.90.


CEDAR STREET.


Has been gravelled its entire length.


FOREST STREET.


For a distance of 1,500 feet from Mr. Wanamaker's towards the Winchester line, except a piece of ledge in front of Mr. Jardine's, which it was thought better to let remain until winter, when it could be blasted and carted to the crusher at better ad- vantage, has been widened to 40 feet, as laid out by the County Commissioners. It has been graded, a heavy coat of gravel put on and then coated over with fine crushed stone, well rolled and then coated over with screened blue gravel. The gutters for a distance of 1,000 feet have been paved on both sides.


The sidewalk on the east side has been graded and coated over with fine gravel.


GRAY STREET.


From Jason street to Bartlett avenue has been graded and coated over with fine crushed stone, rolled and then coated over with stone-dust. The sidewalks between these streets have been graded and coated over with stone-dust.


JASON STREET.


From Irving street to Gray was left in a rough condition after putting in the sewer. The surface was picked over, the large


18


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


stones picked off high places, levelled into the low ones, a coat of fine crushed stone put on, rolled and then coated over with stone- dust.


LOWELL STREET.


From Massachusetts avenue to near the reservoir has been patched in many places. The sidewalk from Westmoreland ave- nue to Mrs. Lewis' line, on the west side, has been coated over with stone-dust.


MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE.


From the railroad crossing to within 1,000 feet of the Cam- bridge line on the southwest side has been coated over with crushed stone. The surface was first picked with the steam-roller, then picked over with hand-picks, the large stones raked off the surface, evened, then a heavy coat of crushed stone put on, well rolled, then coated over with screened blue gravel. Between the railroad and Appleton street, on both sides, the avenue is getting rough. Next season it will have to be surfaced over with crushed stone.


NORTH UNION STREET.


There has been a 24-inch drain laid across the street at the low place near Decatur street with a catch-basin on each side. The ditch has been cleaned out and lowered from this street to the river to properly drain the street.


OAKLAND AVENUE.


Has been gravelled in a few places, the loose stone raked off and the walk on the north side graded and coated with stone-dust. There has been but little done at the Heights, except raking off the loose stones and filling the washed places after a heavy rain. The Heights shows the wisdom of putting in the Park avenue


19


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


drain and the paving of the gutters on some of the worst hills. There has been stone-dust put on portions of Park avenue walks, Florence avenue, Ashland street and Appleton street.


The good work of paving gutters should be kept up until the hilly streets are all paved.


PINE STREET.


Has been widened and put in a good condition. A heavy re- taining wall has been built on the southwest side about 450 feet long, 42 feet thick at the bottom and 2 feet thick at the top, and an average height of 8 feet containing about 480 perch of stone. A railing has been put along the top of the wall.


The street has been graded, a coat of fine crushed stone put on and well rolled, and then covered with screened blue gravel. The sidewalks graded on both sides and the southeast sidewalk covered with fine gravel.


A gutter on both sides of the street 42 feet wide has been paved its entire length.


Appropriation, $2,600; expended, $2,600.


PLEASANT STREET.


From Massachusetts avenue to Swan street has been coated with fine crushed stone and gravel. The sidewalk on the south side concreted from Swan street to Spring valley, except in front of a few residences that had been concreted before.


ROBBINS ROAD.


There has been 1,200 feet of edgestone laid on the north side and the gutter paved along the edgestone. The street has been crowned with gravel and the walk graded on the north side and coated with stone-dust part of the way.


20


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


SWAN STREET.


Has been graded and coated over with fine crushed stone, rolled and covered with screened blue gravel. The walks filled to grade and coated with stone-dust.


WALNUT STREET.


A drain pipe has been laid from Dennett street to and across Massachusetts avenue through the Highland Hose House yard to the pond, from the pond to Walnut court. The pipe was 20-inch from the pond to Walnut court and 15-inch from there to the top of the hill, with six manholes and nine catch-basins connected to the main drain with 12-inch pipe. An edgestone has been laid on both sides, except in front of Thomas Higgins', where he has a concreted walk and gutter. The gutters were paved on both sides. The surplus gravel was used in crowning the street and filling the sidewalk.


BRIDGES.


Brattle street bridge has been rebuilt, the channel lowered and slightly enlarged. The centre of River street bridge has been covered over with 2-inch plank. It was thought best not to re- plank it, as it is uncertain what will be done to this bridge in case the Metropolitan Boulevard crosses the river.


EDGESTONES.


There has been 5,000 feet of edgestones laid, about half put in under the betterment act.


SIDEWALKS.


There has been 2,574 yards of concrete laid and 2,998 yards of concrete top-coated. For amount expended on sidewalks see Treasurer's report.


21


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


CROSSWALKS.


Have been put in across the following streets: Massachusetts avenue at Tufts street; half across the avenue in front of G. A. R. Hall, the other half being already laid; Massachusetts avenue at Jason street (2); at Mount Vernon street; across Medford street in front of W. W. Ranson's; across Chestnut street from Medford street; across Mystic street at its junction with Massachusetts ave- nue; one on Massachusetts avenue at Whittemore street; one on- Massachusetts avenue at Swan's block; one half way across, and one on Pleasant at Wellington street, at a cost of $2.25 a yard.


CRUSHER.


There should be some repairs done this year; the oscillator should be planed and the surface where the chill rests has become rough, causing the chills to break. There is about the usual amount of stone on hand ready to crush, and there has been 1,200 ton of stone blasted from the ledge and broken up ready for the crusher. Cost of blasting and breaking, 50 cents per ton.


STEAM-ROLLER.


The driving wheels have worn quite thin and are liable to break at any time; there should be another set purchased so as to be ready when the old ones break.


WATERING STREETS.


· It has required four double teams and one single team to water the streets this past season. One double and one single team was furnished by the Highway Department and the other three let out by contract.


OFFAL AND ASHES.


Have been removed by the Highway Department the same as last year. There has been one new offal cart and one new ash cart bought for the Health Department this year.


22


SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.


TEAMS AND TOOLS.


One double and two single carts will require new bodies and the single watering cart will need a new tank. All the carts want slight repairs and will need painting. The other tools are in good condition. There are at present 14 horses, 5 double and 4 single road carts, steam-roller, 1 two-horse roller, 1 jigger, 1 road ma- chine, 1 hay wagon, 2 ash carts, 2 offal wagons, 4 two-horse water- ing-carts and one single watering-cart, 4 double sleds, 2 pungs and 9 snow-plows.


Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL E. KIMBALL, Superintendent of Streets.
