Report of the Commissioner of Public Works
To The Honorable City Council :
Gentlemen :- In accordance with the provisions of the City Charter, I submit herewith the 12th annual report of the Com- missioner of Public Works; for the year ending December 31, 1920 :
The most important work undertaken during the past year was .the paving of, and the reconstruction of sewers in West street, from Pine street to Wales street, and Wales street from West street to Strongs avenue. Bids were received March 22, 1920, from the Portland Construction Co., Inc., of Portland, Maine, and from Linberg and Street, of Boston, Mass. Prices were asked on vitrified brick on a concrete foundation, sheet asphalt on a concrete foundation, and reinforced concrete pave- ments. The prices for brick and asphalt were such that after careful consideration it was felt that the reinforced concrete was the most economical. Prices were also asked for monolithic concrete, reinforced concrete pipe, and segment block sewers. Segment block was chosen, not only because it was the cheapest but also on account of the rapidity with which it could be con- structed.
On April 7, 1920, the contract was therefore awarded to Linberg and Street, whose bid was the lower, the gross amount of the contract based on the approximate quantities being $77,544.35, of which about $27,000 was for sewers.
The Contractors immediately ordered the sewer pipe and received assurances that it would be shipped at once. Hopes of receiving the pipe were entertained until the latter part of June, when we were advised by the manufacturers that they saw no
2

prospects of obtaining cars. It was then decided to construct monolithic concrete sewers, which, although much slower, would allow the work to proceed.
Space does not permit of telling in detail of the obstacles encountered during the progress of the work. Labor conditions, together with unforeseen difficulties in the sewer, combined to prevent the completion of the pavement until the coming spring. Practically all the underground work has been completed and there remains only the pavement on West street from Merchants Row to Wales street and seventy feet of pavement on Wales street near Strongs avenue yet to be constructed, which will take about three weeks to do.
The routine work of the street department was of course affected by general conditions. As the funds have increased but very little, the work accomplished has decreased materially due to the mounting cost of everything. Last winter the cost of snow removal also ate into our appropriation to quite an extent.
In the sewer department, with the exception of the recon- struction of the Howe street sewer, the work was confined wholly to repairs to sewers and building and rebuilding catch basins. The old eight inch pipe in Howe street was replaced with 15 inch vitrified and 21 inch concrete pipe. One new man-hole was built on this line. The pipe for this sewer arrived just about three months after it had been ordered.
The water department was handicapped to no small extent by the labor shortage. The lowering of the main in Wales street together with the renewing of services in West and Wales streets and the routine work of repairing leaks, etc., taxed the capacity of the department many times to keep from delaying the work of paving. The work of lowering the main in Wales street was particularly slow and tedious, being in ledge rock practically the whole distance.
Besides the work above mentioned, a six inch main was laid in Bellevue avenue, north of North street for a distance of about 572 feet.
86
ANNUAL REPORT
The department had hoped to improve the fire protection in Baxter and State streets and Cleveland avenue by enlarging the mains, but had to let it go over until next spring.
The engineering department has been kept busy giving lines and grades for sewers, curbing and pavement, measuring com- pleted work and preparing monthly estimates for the work on West and Wales streets in addition to the regular work of this department.
The tables given below show in further detail the work ac- complished by the various departments, together with the cost.

In concluding this report, it may not be out of place to say a few words relative to the program for the coming year.
In order to complete the improvement of West and Wales streets, new walks should be constructed. Cement concrete would probably cost about 35 cents per sq. ft., or $3.50 per foot frontage for a walk ten feet wide. If the abutting property own-
94
ANNUAL REPORT
ers would pay one-half the cost, I believe the City could pay the other half.
As to the paving, so far as the condition of the road itself is concerned, any one of several might well be chosen. In order to decide we must consider, then, other factors, such as connection with existing pavements, amount of underground work, length of pavement and amount of traffic benefitted.
Comparing the different streets and highways on the basis of the above factors, it is my opinion that the appropriation for 1921 will go further and be of greater benefit to the whole city if expended on Strongs avenue and South Main street to the City line, than on any other highway. It will be possible to build a 20 foot roadway from Madison street to the south city line, which will give us one main artery, well paved, from the city limits, to the heart of the business section.
Merchants Row, between the two stretches of brick pave- ment, should be completed with brick, but I believe a substantial saving in the cost can be effected by waiting until 1922, when, in all probability, Evelyn street and Grove street as far as State street can be done too.
