REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Board of Public Works herewith submit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1907.
The first meeting of the Board was held on March 11, 1907, the organization resulting in the election of Peter Schwamb as chairman. Forty-six regular meetings were held during the year. The former policy of acting as a whole on all matters coming before the Board was continued, consequently no special committees were appointed.
APPOINTMENTS. At a meeting held April 1, 1907, Thomas Roden was appointed Superintendent of the Water Division, Robert W. Pond, Superintendent of the Sewer Division, and Charles C. Lothrop was appointed Water Registrar and Clerk, all appointments holding for one year.
HIGHWAY DIVISION.
The same policy adopted in the care and repair of streets last year has been continued this year. For details of the work done reference is made to the report of the Superintendent of Streets. with whose recommendations we concur as follows :
Raising grade of Boston Elevated Railway tracks west of Water Street.
Storm drains and extension of same as recommended.
Paved gutters, crosswalks and edgestones as stated.
Resurfacing of streets as recommended.
Repair and extension of permanent sidewalks on some systematic basis.
We further recommend that Sawin Street, between Teele and Henderson Streets, Summer Street from Grove Street to Pine Street, and Wollaston Avenue from Wachusett Avenue to Tanager Street be accepted and constructed under the betterment act.
That a careful study be made of the River Street bridge problem, as the present structure will probably not be safe for travel more than one year longer.
That such repairs be made on the present stone crusher plant as will enable the same to be used one year longer, and that meanwhile a careful study be made for a new plant having in view the reduc- tion of the cost of crushed stone to a minimum.
It is also recommended that steps be taken to procure a better and more central location for town stables, paving, pipe and storage yards for the Highway, Water and Sewer Divisions.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
SEWER DIVISION.
During the year a short extension to the sewer in Park Avenue was made to connect the house at No. 7 Park Circle. Several con- tractors were asked to bid on the work and the contract was awarded to H. A. Hanscom, the lowest bidder.
At the Town Meeting held July 1, 1907, an appropriation of $4,000 was made for extension of the sewerage system in Massa- chusetts Avenue and Magnolia Street, also in the Brattle and Dud- ley Street District. This work was done by day labor at a cost of $3,758.13. The installation of a temporary pumping plant required on Brattle Street is not yet completed, due to delay in delivery of machinery, and it is recommended that the balance of the sewer appropriations be reappropriated for the work.
At the Town Meeting held in November, 1907, an appropriation of $225 was made for a sewer extension across private land near Lombard Terrace. The cost of this sewer was $217.17.
Fifty-four connections have been made with the main sewers at a total cost of $1,756.21
The necessary flushing and cleaning of the sewerage system has been done at a cost of $355.43.
A detailed statement giving cost of sewers built in 1907 by streets, including also particular sewers is shown in Table IV.
A financial statement giving distribution of expenditures is shown in Table V.
Table VI. gives a complete sewer statement to date.
The value of equipment and of materials on hand in the sewer division January 1, 1908, was as follows :
Materials.
$302.31
Horses and vehicles 475.15
Tools, appliances and storehouse. 1,274.01
Engineering instruments and supplies 591.65
Total $2,643.12
It is recommended that the sewers be extended wherever it can be shown that they are necessary.
An appropriation of $1500 is recommended for general purposes including maintenance and operation of new pumping plant.
