The completion of this work provides for all the residential portion of Arlington Heights, with the exception of the lower end of Appleton Street and Oakland Avenue. As soon as the Robbins Road sewer was ready for use, the Robbins Spring Hotel buildings were connected, as were also the other buildings along the street belonging to this estate.

REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
Upon the application of Patrick J. Kelley for a connection with the sewer from his house in the rear of No. 21 Mt. Vernon Street, it was thought best to extend the Walnut Court, sewer about 33 feet and connect the house direct into that sewer. This was done at a cost of $38.45, Mr. Kelley paying the additional cost of the particular sewer in connection therewith.
The rapidly increasing growth of Belknap Street required that a sewer be provided there, and it was therefore built with an out- let through Linwood Street to Massachusetts Avenue, the work being done by day labor. The material was sand for the most part, and the surplus remaining was saved for the future use of the Department.
On Gray Street, from Pleasant Street, to the house of John G. Leetch, the drainage was giving trouble and a sewer was desired. The Commissioners directed that the sewer be built. A contract was made with Michael J. Kelley of Arlington to blast 29 cubic yards of the ledge, the Department doing the remainder of the work by day labor.
When the Metropolitan Sewer was built along the Cambridge side of Alewife Brook below Lake Street, a branch was laid across the brook at the Boston & Maine R. R. which was to be the outlet for all the territory adjacent and tributary to Lake Street, to the lower end of Pleasant Street and to the southerly side of Arlington Heights. Before sewers could be built in these sec- tions, it was necessary to extend a sewer from the outlet at Ale- wife Brook (already mentioned) to some point on Lake Street near the Boston & Maine R. R. crossing. A marsh surrounds the outlet in all directions and is usually covered with water of varying depth. It was through this and the low ground beyond that the pipe must be laid. Owing to the extreme dryness of the season, the Commissioners determined to do the work at once and thereby insure a better quality of work and a saving in cost. A large part of the land near Lake Street is now used for extensive
168
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
market gardening purposes, and is not laid out into streets, as the land will probably be developed. Consequently it was im- possible to locate the sewer in any proposed street or way. After considering the matter carefully, an agreement was made with the Boston & Maine R. R. to allow the Sewer Commissioners to build and maintain a sewer along the easterly line of the railroad location within a strip of land five feet wide from Lake Street to the outlet,-a distance of 2,556 feet. A contract was made with H. A. Hanscom & Co. of West Medford, and work was begun July 5, 1899, the town furnishing all stock and materials, ex- cepting lumber and gravel. The work was difficult of execution because of the nature of the soil to be excavated, the amount of water to be handled, and the remote location of the work from existing streets, which caused much inconvenience and labor in delivering the material needed for the construction. The entire length of the trench had to be close-sheeted with plank, and a large quantity was left in place after the pipe had been laid by reason of the mud and soft material encountered and the close proximity to the railroad track. Under drains from four to six inches in diameter were laid and covered with screened gravel to convey the water to the pump wells. The sewer pipe, which was 15 and 18 inches in diameter, was laid on a concrete foundation and secured on the sides and over the crown of the pipe with the same material. Piles were driven over a section of the trench about 325 feet in length, on which a timber platform was built to support the pipe and its foundation. The piles driven were of an average length of 14 feet, some being-over 20 feet long. A por- tion of the location was on a 3º curve. The manholes here were placed 160 feet apart, the water table and dome being built all on one side and opposite to the track, in order to occupy as little rail- road land as possible.
While the plans and details for the construction of the outlet sewer were being prepared, a sewer in Lake Street from the Bos-

ton & Maine R. R. to Massachusetts Avenue was built and was included in the contract of Section VII., which had just been completed. It was hoped that it would be possible to build a sewer in Brooks Avenue from Lake Street to Barnes Lane before theseason closed. The Metropolitan Park Commissioners had plans for the location of a new Boulevard under consideration, which would undoubtedly affect the future layout of Brooks Avenue. No decision having been arrived at, it was impossible to proceed with the construction. It is probable that this work can be done . early in the coming spring.
The total length of sewers constructed during the year was 10,953 feet, or 2.10 miles. This brings the total length in the town to 20.05 miles. As stated last year, 2.62 miles were sold to and 0.85 miles were built by the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts, to which particular sewer connections can be made direct and by the same method as with those owned by the town.
The total money expended for sewers and maintenance in 1899 was $50,618.89 and the assessments levied were $28,- 480.27. The total assessments, including special assessments, to date (January 1, 1900), number 1,524 and amount to $111- 406.06.
MAINTENANCE.
All the sewers have been thoroughly cleaned and inspected, and found to be in good condition. The same methods employed last year for flushing and cleaning have been continued.
Water services have been placed in end manholes as needed, and have proved of great convenience and efficiency. No repairs have been required throughout the year, with the exception of the changing of the grade of several manholes frames, which must be kept in conformity with the ever-changing surface of the streets, and the replacing of some brick work at a few manholes which had been disturbed by the frost.
170
REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
Reference to the Town Clerk's report will give an itemized list of the expenditures for the year.
PARTICULAR SEWERS.
The work in this department has been continued along the same general lines as heretofore. Rules and regulations govern- ing the construction and use of particular sewers have been com- piled and published, and placed in the Town Clerk's office for distribution. Great care and attention has been given to details, to the keeping of records of grade and location, and the general construction of the work. All connections have been shown on the assessment plans, and notes and books have been properly referenced.
There have been 125 entrances made with the sewers during the past year, making a total length of 7,178 feet, or 1.36 miles at an average of 58c. per linear foot. There are now 473 particu- lar sewers constructed and in operation which connect with 536 buildings, and which represent a total length of 5.76 miles.
IN GENERAL.
Beginning March 21, 1899, the horses and wagons belonging to the Department have been kept at the stable at the corner of Broadway and Webster Street, which was hired for the purpose. At this time a horse and light wagon was purchased for the use of the Superintendent, and are of great value and assistance in supervising the work of the Department.
An eight foot fence has been built around the Linwood Street yard, enabling the Department to keep the pipe and other ma- terial stored there in better condition. A house has also been built at Linwood Street, capable of holding two carloads of cement, with room for tools and supplies additional. The town can now buy cement at wholesale prices and unload directly from the cars to the new house. This will also do away with any delay

caused by a short supply in the market, as was experienced the past season.
The compiling of all plans as well as the drafting has been done by the Department, with the exception of some surveying on Section VII., and the looking up of titles in connection with the sewer assessment plans made necessary by the limitation of time.
Following is a schedule of property in charge of this Depart- ment:

REPORT
OF THE
Trustees of the Robbins Library
To the Town of Arlington:
;
The Trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual re- port :
We find a still further increase in the number of books and magazines taken out , 47,815 for 1899 as against 46,758 in 1898. The patronage of the reading-room remains about the same, while the average Sunday attendance shows a slight increase. Since October books have been delivered on Wednesday evenings until nine o'clock. Two years ago we began the recataloguing of the Library, issuing a Fiction List in the Fall of 1898, and offering it for sale at the nominal sum of ten cents a copy. During the past year this work has been carried to a successful completion by the publication of a Non-Fiction List, which has been offered at the same price. These catalogues are used freely in the Library, and greatly facilitate the finding of books. The sale for home use has not, however, been so great as might reasonably be expected and we would call special attention to this important aid to the use of the Library, which only needs to be known to be appreciated.
Eight exhibitions of photographs have been made, beginning in March, 1898.
1. Photographs of the New Congressional Library. Loaned by Miss Alice Chandler of Lancaster.
2. Views of New England. Loaned by the Boston & Maine R. R. Co., May, 1898.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY.
3. Stella photographs of Alpine Scenery. Loaned by the Ap- palachian Club, October, 1898.
4. Photographs of Florence. Loaned by the Massachusetts Library Art Club, March, 1899.
5. Photographs of Venice. Loaned by the Massachusetts Library Art Club, May, 1899.
6. Platinotype Exhibition, July, 1899.
7. Western and South Western Scenery, September-October, 1899.
8. Exhibition of the "Youth's Companion," December, 1899.
A valuable collection of oil paintings, owned by Mr. Willard C. Schouler of Arlington, was also exhibited in June, and great- ly admired.
A large and handsome portrait of Miss Louisa M. Alcott in crayon was presented to the Library in February, 1899, by the Misses Niles, and hangs on the north wall of the catalogue room.
Mr. Winfield Robbins has continued his generosity by the ad- dition of many books and pictures during the past year.
The editors of the "Advocate" and the "Enterprise" have sent complete files of those papers, and have published our lists of new books.
The Library has not only been recatalogued, but the books have been renumbered and classified according to subjects, greatly simplifying the work of the attendants, and making it possible, we hope, at no distant date, to give to the public greater degree of freedom in the use of the books than heretofore.
The cost of the Catalogue, which has come out of our general income, has greatly restricted us in the purchase of books, the de- mands of the reading public being far greater than the ability of the Trustees. to meet them.
With heavy fixed charges for service, heating, lighting and re- pairs, it would seem as if a larger sum must be found for the pur-
