Vent manholes were set in an iron frame resting on, and built into the arches, one being set in the centre of each line of arches, and over the centre of the Reservoir.
The manhole frames consist of an iron cylinder two feet in diameter, and projecting about eight inches above the loam, at which height slots were left in the cylinders to pro- vide a free circulation of air, but arranged so as not to allow the direct rays of light to strike the water.
Just outside of the edgestones and on top of the banks, a gravel walk six feet wide was constructed, and two flights of granite steps were set, one on the east bank and one on the west, by the gate chamber.
Before the walls of the gate chamber were brought up to grade, a brick base was built to receive the distributing tank, and the tank was set on this base and brought up to the right grade by means of set screws furnished with it. It was set so that the overflow would be at grade 320, then the brick walls were brought up to a solid bearing all around, enclosing the set screws. The connections were then made with the waste pipe and supply to the Reservoir. The lower piping was connected up some time previous, at the time the waste and force main were laid. These two mains were laid on top of each other, and are carried 24 inches in size back to beyond the foot of the embankment of any future enlargement of the Reservoir some 125 feet.

WATER DEPARTMENT.
As there would be no need of access to the waste pipe, and as it was placed below the bottom of the walls of any future extension, the trench was filled in with concrete and well rammed before the force main was placed in it.
The waste was laid so that at the lower end it came out on a grade with the force main, and after being reduced to 20 inches was brought up nearer the surface and carried alongside of the force main to the grade of the old Reservoir; here it was reduced again to 12 inches, with a 20 inch branch delivering by gate into the old Reservoir, so that any overflow from the new Reservoir would be delivered into the old.
In case of clearing the Reservoir the connection with the old could be shut off, and the waste carried down the 12 inch pipe to an outlet in the brook below.
A 6 inch pipe was also carried out from the bottom of the gate chamber to carry off any seepage and waste water from the floor.
The work on the Reservoir was practically completed, and was put in service at 7.45 A. M., Aug. 8, 1891.
On July 24 a contract was made with Mr. George E. Winslow of Waltham, for placing one of his recording gauges at the Reservoir, which would indicate automatically the height of the water in the Reservoir at all times, both at the Pumping Station and Water Registrar's office, City Hall, where the record of the height is kept on a card.
The float for the recording gauge is placed in a stand pipe twelve (12) inches in diameter, placed in the gate chamber, and connected by a two (2) inch pipe with the twelve (12) inch waste pipe from the Reservoir.
This connection was provided with a proper shut-off and waste pipes, so that water could be drawn from the gate chamber if desired, or the stand pipe emptied.
To insure against the water freezing, so as to render the float inoperative, the stand pipe and connections were
56

enclosed in a wooden box, and the space between it and the stand pipe filled with sawdust.
A contract was made with the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company to put up and connect the necessary wires to operate the gauges and indicators between the Reser- voir, City Hall and the Pumping Station.
A battery of 24 Samson No. 1 cells was placed in the gate chamber, and connections made with the apparatus at the different stations. An electric bell is connected with the indicator, and rings at each rise and fall of one foot. This keeps the engineer constantly apprised of the level of the water in the Reservoir, and the warning often prevents his filling the Reservoir too full, and to maintain the fires under the boilers with greater economy than would be otherwise probable.
The gate chamber was provided with a temporary plank roof, made water-tight with a covering of a double thickness of tarred paper, which was covered with a heavy coating of tar and gravel.

PUBLIC PROPERTY.
Proposals were received by the Joint Standing Com- mittee on Public Property for heating and ventilating the Underwood school, and a number of plans were submitted, but none adopted as submitted. The plan of D. P. Gosline was accepted after some changes had been made by State Inspector Coon, the City Engineer, and the Committee.
At the City Hall the assessors', clerk's, treasurer's and engineer's departments had been suffering for lack of fire-proof storage room for a long time. It was necessary to store many valuable papers and plans in cases in the offices. During the year this difficulty has been largely remedied. The floor under the assessor's office was stiffened by large I beams, resting on piers built up from the cellar, and a large steel safe has been purchased and placed in this room. The wall between the clerk's and the treasurer's vaults was removed, thereby giving the treasurer double the former space. Then the wing on the east side of the building which contained the staircase leading to the side entrance of the City Hall, was turned into a vault stack. This created a storage safe in the cellar, a large safe in the basement story that was connected with the present engineer's safe, and a safe in the first floor that was assigned to the clerk. These vaults are all large and provide ample room for the present. The vault in the engineer's department has not been furnished as yet, but will be next year. By partitioning off a portion of the basement story a large coat and tool room was provided for the engin- eer's department. Owing to the large number of men em- ployed by the engineer's department the accommodations are very much cramped, and some of the men are obliged to work in the large hall, which is poorly lighted and can only be heated for so small a number of people with great difficulty.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The work of draining the large territory west of Waltham and Cherry streets, and north of River street, has been nearly completed. But a small amount remains to be done next year. The following table will show the work done this year : -
Cost includes widening and deepening about 3,875 feet of open ditches or brooks, and grading to an inclining slope the adjacent low grounds.
Drains above 21 inches in diameter are bul .. Drains less than 21 inches in diameter are Akron or cement drain pipe.

Sewers.
As soon as possible after their appointment, the com- mittee proceeded to consider the work in detail. It was decided to cover those districts where the need was most im- perative, or where it was necessary to construct trunk sewers to reach such districts. The work was divided into three sections ; sections 1 and 2 being the Hyde Brook district, and section 3 being principally the trunk lines for Laundry Brook district.
The land owned by the City on Crafts street was used as a stock yard. It was necessary to have a large storage shed for cement. Plans for such a building were prepared, and the following bids received for its construction : -
J. H. Roblee, $986 00.
G. Bailey, 867 00.
S. Holmes, 700 00.
F. W. Stevens, 677 00.
H. H. Hunt, 523 00.
The contract was awarded to H. H. Hunt. The build- ing was 100 x 25, covered with sheathing paper. The front portion was used as headquarters for the division engineer. Also for testing cement and storing tools.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER.
About November 1st Mr. Killian abandoned his con- tract, and the City is completing it at his expense.
Owing to the incomplete state of the work it is difficult to give the cost of the work by streets, but the following table will show the work done upon each street to Jan. 1, 1892. The total expenditure as per the auditor's report is $204,866.77.
Sewers Laid in 1891.
