Total amount . $6,100 17
Surveys have been made of the whole or a part of twen- ty-nine streets covering a length of six miles. Ninety-nine plans and profiles have been made. Levels have been taken over the whole or a part of forty-one streets or brooks, a total length of ten and four-tenths miles. Lines have been established on sixty-nine streets and grades on sixty-two streets. A survey has been made of the larger part of New- ton Upper Falls, including twenty-five hundred feet of Charles River, the Newton Mills and all division lines, and the same has been plotted on a large district map. A survey and district map has also been made of a portion of Ward 3 ly- ing north of the Boston & Albany Railroad. The total number of plans, profiles, tracings, etc., now in the office is 2483.
The minimum number of assistants employed during the past year is five ; average number, six; and maximum num- ber at any time, seven.
The work of the department has been routine in charac-
10
ter, no new work of any magnitude having been undertaken. The organization and plan of management outlined in reports of previous years has remained the same.
The Joint Standing Committee on Highways has re- ported favorably upon a large number of petitions for the widening, laying out and acceptance of streets upon condition that the properly releases of land and grade damages shall be given to the city. The proper releases have been drawn by this department and when properly executed the City will take final action upon the petitions.
In attempting to comply with requests for the lines and grades of some of the older streets, it has been found that the records are either incorrect or that the lines produced by them are inconsistent with their probable intention, and therefore the correct lines cannot be determined. During the coming year I shall submit to you, my recommendations that such streets be relaid out.
The time of the department having been so completely taken by other duties, the defining of street lines by stone bounds, as required by law, has been neglected. The import- ance of doing this as a measure of economy, as well as a requirement of law, will be apparent to all, and I would therefore recommend that a special appropiation, chargeable to the general appropriation for Highways, Widenings, Re- construction and Improvements be made for this purpose.
The various ordinances relating to the City Engineer's Department which have been passed from time to time are herewith appended to this report.
HIGHWAY ACCOUNTS.
A compliance with Section 5 of Ordinance IX necessi- tates the keeping of a set of accounts of all the work of the Highway department. While the system adopted is sufficient
11
for the purpose required and as complete as my information will allow or as I may be authorized by either the City Council or Committee to adopt, it is not what it should be for the proper record of so large an expenditure. If the authority and information were further extended such items as $14,511.83 for miscellaneous expenses ; or $10,172.00 for work in gravel pits; or $1,978.64 for patching streets, would not appear, but would be charged to their proper streets. A further record should be kept of the cost in detail of different classes of work performed under various conditions, in order to determine the economy or cost of one over the other. I would therefore recommend that such authority be given as will cause such accounts and records to be kept.
PERAMBULATION OF TOWN AND CITY LINES.
A special committee consisting of Aldermen Nickerson and Henry, the City Engineer and the Superintendent of Streets, appointed to represent the Board of Aldermen, together with committees from the Selectmen of the Towns of Watertown and Brookline on October 21, 1885 perambu lated the lines and established anew the boundaries between said city and towns according to law. One new boundary stone was set in Lagrange street on the line between the the Town of Brookline and the City of Newton.

Assistant Superintendents of Streets. GEORGE E. STUART, Wards 1, 2 and 7. JOHN J. WARE, Wards 4 and 5. JOHN A. PECK, Ward 6
City Engineer. ALBERT F. NOYES.
HIGHWAYS.
The management of the highways, the ordinary repairs, the building and rebuilding of streets, drains, culverts, sidewalks, etc., and the gravel lands, are under the general direction of the Joint Standing Committee on Highways, Streets and Ways, Sidewalks, Drains and Sewers, and the Highway Surveyors.
The committee for 1885 with exception of two members was the same as that of previous years. The executive officers of the department remained the same as for the last six years. The policy adopted several years ago has been continued and several miles of thoroughly made streets have been added to those already built.
The steam road roller purchased in 1881, the portable stone crusher and the portable engine purchased in 1883 have been kept constantly at work, have required little or no repairs and are in perfect condition. This is largely due to the intelligent care given to them by the engineer, William Kent, who has charge of all the machinery belonging to the department. The steam road roller has been run during the past season 2,215 hours; it has picked up 39,065 square yards of macadamized road; and has laid down 92,875 square yards of Telford, macadamized or gravel road; and it has been used for various other purposes.
16
The Superintendent of Streets would renew his recom- mendations of previous years in regard to consolidating the department into two districts instead of four as at present.
I would renew my previous recommendations in regard to the repairs of concrete sidewalks.
