The routine work of the office, the system of accounts, the copying and indexing of all Newton plans of the registry of deeds. county commissioners' and clerk of courts' offices, also all private land plans attainable has been continued as outlined in previous reports.


Late in the fall preliminary work upon the question of sewerage for the city was commenced, but the large amount of work required for the seizure of the land in Newton and Needham for an additional water supply, necessitated the use of the entire office force of the department, and it was neces- sary to set the sewerage question aside for the time being, but this work will be taken up early in the spring and pushed with the utmost rapidity.


Such surveys and plans as the city solicitor has needed for the legislative hearings, accident cases, suits, etc., have been furnished, and whenever necessary these hearings and suits have been attended.


The city engineer has also attended to such consultation work as has been requested of him by the Board of Health, and has furnished the Board with estimates, reports, etc.


The department has been called upon by the assessors department to verify areas of land assessed in several cases, and it is apparent that a survey of the city for the use of the assessors would prove of great assistance to that department, and also would probably show considerable variation from the areas as they are now rated by the assessors.


Plans for numbering the streets have been prepared as rapidly as the current work of the department permitted.


Numbers have been established on the following streets during the year :

HIGHWAYS.


During the year the joint standing committee on High- ways has had under its management the repairs, building and rebuilding of streets, drains, culverts, bridges, sidewalks, etc., the gravel lands and the watering of the streets.


Several changes were made in the membership of the Highway Surveyors and the joint standing committee on High- ways. Alderman Harbach became chairman of the committee. Councilman Luke being a new member in the place of Council- man Read, retired.


By the death of John A. Peck, assistant superintendent of streets of Wards 5 and 6, the department lost the services of an efficient and faithful officer. He was succeeded by his son Mr. Charles A. Peck. So far as possible, thorough work has been performed in repairing the streets, and several of the streets have been thoroughly rebuilt. All the machinery of the department has been kept in excellent condition by the engineer, William Kent. The steam road roller has picked up 19,438 square yards of Telford, macadamized or gravel road ; and has laid down 98,807 square yards of the same. It has been employed in rolling the streets on the Valentine and Collins estates, and it has also been employed by the Electric Railroad Co. to pick up Washington street from Lowell street to Nonantum square.


The principal streets which have been rebuilt and regraded during the year are as follows : Beacon street, Centre street,


16


Highland avenue from Murray street to top of the hill, North street from Crafts to Farwell street, Valentine street, Ward street, Washington street from Elm street to Prospect street.


The grade of Winter street was raised several feet, thereby reducing the grade of the approach to High street.


Washington street from Nonantum square to West New- ton, is greatly in need of repairs, but the committee has con- sidered it inexpedient to do any considerable amount of work upon it until the completion of the Electric railroad.


As early in the year as the height of the water in Charles river would permit work was commenced on Bemis bridge, (a description of this bridge was given in last year's report), and after numerous delays for stone and other material, the bridge was completed in October, at an expense of $6,979.77.


The work on Washington street bridge was carried on throughout the winter. The iron work was in place and the bridge open for travel early in the summer. The grade of a portion of Washington street from Concord street to the bridge was raised, retaining walls constructed, and a sidewalk built. The bridge was completed at a cost of $3,897.06.


The uncovered portion of Hyde brook which receives the drainage of a large portion of Wards 1 and 7, had become a source of annoyance to the owners of abutting property between the mouth of the brook and the covered portion. In answer to several petitions for the covering of the brook, the upper por- tion was lowered to the grade which will be necessary if the recommendation of the late " Special Committee for the aboli- tion of Railroad Crossings at Grade," is carried out. A brick conduit sixty inches in diameter was constructed, which will now give ample capacity for the flow of the water, and it is not expected that any complaints can arise in the future.


The drainage from a large portion of Waverley avenue near Sargent street flowing onto private estates had become a


17


source of annoyance and damage to them. A drain was con- structed in said Avenue to Brighton street, and it will be con- tinued the coming year through Church street to Hyde Brook. This drain will take the surface water from a mile or more of streets, which will greatly reduce the cost of repairs upon them.


The Lincoln street drain was extended to Columbus street and will be completed to Tappan place the coming year.


The committee have adhered to the policy of refusing to accept streets which were known to have been improperly con- structed ; the continuance of this policy will tend to reduce the cost of their maintenance. During the year the City Engineer has furnished grades for a number of new streets, and has also furnished a set of specifications for their construction, when he has been requested.
