ADAMS STREET SIDEWALK OILED
This oiled sidewalk work consists of 1,406 square yards on the easterly side extending from near the junction of Randolph Avenue and Adams Street to Churchill's Lane, length, 1,808 feet and width 7 feet. The original gravel sidewalk in its original state was sprayed with hot Standard Oil "A" Binder, then covered with clean, fine stone dust, which makes a cheap and, I have every reason to think, a dry sidewalk, as I have tried this ap- plication in another town and found it satisfactory after three years' wear.

RANDOLPH AVENUE CONSTRUCTION
Provided for by Special Appropriation, September 1, 1915.
The street was reconstructed on the westerly side from Reedsdale Road, 4,910 feet, to a point on Tucker Hill about where the car track swings from the side of the road to the center, at a width of 18 feet, and consists of 9,820 square yards. For 2,500 feet of this road, from Reedsdale Road to Highland Street, the foundation, after being viewed jointly with a representative of the High- way Commission, was condemned, and after stripping the old stone from the surface, the foundation was re- moved and back filled with a coarse frost-proof gravel which made the construction somewhat costly.
The tarvia was bought from the Barrett Manufactur- ing Company, at 9 cents per gallon, tarvia "A" being re-

quired because of the cold weather. The gravel was bought from Samuel Craig, 269 double loads at 40 cents, and from C. C. Copeland, 221/2 double loads at 40 cents. The greater part of the stone was bought from W. J. Barry at $1.35 per ton delivered and at $1.00 per ton at the crusher. The balance of the stone was bought from P. F. Donovan at the same price.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
RECOMMENDATIONS
I would most respectfully recommend a tandem roller of the six ton double drive type. Also, I would recom- mend trading in the auto or putting it in thorough repair.
We still have two, old, light weight horses in the de- partment which I would recommend selling and replacing with heavy horses.
I would recommend that the crusher at the Squantum Pit be moved to the Kidder Pit to be used as a gravel screening plant; also that a street cleaning division be organized to keep the Town clean. This latter recom- mendation is necessary, first, from a sanitary point of view, secondly, because the dirt on the street is injurious to the street itself, and thirdly, because the accumulation of dirt washed into the basins makes such removal of dirt more expensive than removal from the street.
I desire to express my thanks to your Honorable Board, and through you, to the foremen, and the men of the department for courtesies received; also to my prede- cessor who so kindly assisted me when I assumed the duties of the department.
Respectfully submitted,
H. A. SPATES, Superintendent of Streets.
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Milton :-
This has been, on the average, a fair year for tree growth. During the month of March there was no rain whatsoever. Later a fair amount of rain fell, and this seemed to help the larger trees rather than those newly planted. A good many of the older trees along our streets have died and been removed. Many private estates show the ravages of time in this way, and yet there is very little interest shown in planting out new trees for the benefit of the next generation. Apparently very few realize that a tree makes a good showing thirty years from planting out, provided, of course, that it has a reason- able chance. It has been possible to do more trimming of street trees this year than for some time past.
One year's fight with the gypsy moths is much like another's. This year there was less stripping of trees than usual, but the nests are very plentiful in spite of that fact. The wilt disease has done more good than usual. A particularly interesting example was to be seen on Randolph Avenue beyond the Milton Town line, in the Metropolitan Park area. Here no spraying was done owing to the difficulty in getting water. The "Flacherie" or wilt disease broke out late in the eating season of the gypsy caterpillar and helped the cause tremendously.
Brown-tail moths are apparently still scarce, though perhaps it is yet rather early in the season to be too sure of this.
An inventory of the property of the Tree Warden and of the Local Moth Superintendent has been made and shows, on the basis of cost prices, a valuation of $8,429.22. This list will serve as a basis to estimate from, but it is
311
312
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
hard to say to which of the two departments some of the tools and supplies should be credited.
In studying the cost of the moth work by the Town, it should always be remembered that the amount appro- priated is not the only amount to be considered. Much of the work done on private property comes back to the Town treasury through the taxes; something like $2,500 per annum. This goes into the general balance, not to the credit of the Gypsy Moth account. Then there is a lot of work done for private individuals which is credited to the department and so used over again.
This year's appropriations should be repeated as a minimum from which good results may be expected.
For planting and care of trees $ 2,000
For gypsy and brown-tail moth work 12,000
Respectfully submitted, NATHANIEL T. KIDDER,
Tree Warden and Local Moth Superintendent.
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Milton:
The Board of Water Commissioners respectfully sub- mits the following report for the year 1915:
At the Annual Meeting in March, Mr. Howard C. Leslie was elected for a term of three years, succeeding Mr. Jesse B. Baxter.
At this meeting, also, the Town appropriated $2,500 for the extension of mains, the same as in the year previous, and the usual amount of $9,000 for hydrant rentals.
The year has been one of increased activity for the department. Requests for extensions of mains on private ways, especially from the Mattapan section, have been numerous, indicating the growth in that district. Several services of unusual length have been installed at the ex- pense of the owners with the result that it has been neces- sary to curtail work somewhat on public ways of the nature of completing dead ends. The total number of new services connected was 110 as compared with 82 in 1914, representing the largest number of new connec- tions for any year in the history of the department.
The total amount expended for new connection on public and private ways is $10,125.40, apportioned as follows:

Total cost of new construction
$10,125 40
Total length of mains now in use of over 4 inches in diameter, 50.0532 miles.
The amount expended over $10,000 was due to granting an application for extension on Governor Road, East Milton, where a six inch pipe was laid with a view of ex- tending the main in the very near future. In the opinion of the Commissioners, conditions were such as to justify proceeding with permanent work rather than temporary.
The total number of feet of pipe laid during the year was 7,587, of which 5,825 feet were installed in private ways. Most of this was 6 inch pipe and in addition 1,777 feet of 6 inch pipe were installed on private property at the expense of the owners.
The number of hydrants installed during the year was 15, two of which are on private property. The total number of hydrants now in use is 420, of which 30 are private.
The number of active services is 1,867, a net increase for the year of 107,-three services having been dis- continued.
The Ford runabout purchased in 1913 was turned in for a new one. During the year this has been run ap- proximately 5,000 miles at a cost of $205.54 (including
315
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, depreciation, etc.), equiva- lent to approximately four cents a mile.
In May, 1915, an automobile truck, belonging to the Curtis & Pope Lumber Company collided with a hydrant on Brush Hill Road and broke it. Before water could be shut off, some damage, due to washing of material, was done to a private avenue running between Brush Hill Road and Blue Hill Avenue; also to the tracks of the Blue Hill Street Railway Company. A claim has been filed against the Curtis & Pope Lumber Company but settlement is still pending.
We regret to say that citizens on the high pressure system were caused inconvenience by interruption of service on two occasions this year, in August and Octo- ber, due to breaks in the Metropolitan System outside of the Town limits and, consequently, beyond the con- trol of the Water Department.
A comparative study of rates charged by other cities and towns served by the Metropolitan System made by the Commissioners during the year reveals the fact that the rates in Milton are somewhat higher than the average of the cities and towns taking supply from this system. The assessment levied by the Metropolitan is based one- third on valuation and two-thirds on consumption. Since Milton's valuation is the highest of any town in the dis- trict, and since the consumption of water per capita in" Milton is considerably lower than the average of the district, it follows that our assessment is comparatively high and, consequently, this has a direct bearing on the water rates in Milton.
As the business of the Water Department grows, how- ever, it is becoming evident that receipts are increasing at a faster ratio than expenses so that the Commissioners are of the opinion that a further reduction of rates may be warranted in the near future. An effort to bring about this result is continually being made.
316
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
As a step in the direction of reducing the expenses of the department, the Commissioners recommend the pur- chase of an automobile truck and a Ford truck, thereby making it possible to do away with the present stable facilities and equipment which for various reasons have been more costly to maintain than they should be. Be- sides increasing the efficiency of the department in its everyday work, it is conservatively estimated that the purchase of motor equipment will reduce the cost of transportation as represented by present stable ex- penses very considerably.
The appropriations asked for this year are as follows: For the purchase of motor equipment as indicated above $2,700
For extension of mains 2,500
For hydrant rental 9,000
The last two items are the same as last year.
A statement of the cost of the water property to the Town since its purchase is submitted herewith and, for the details of the receipts and expenses for 1915, refer- ence is made to the financial report compiled by the Auditor, as shown elsewhere.
