H. W . LITCHFIELD, Clerk. MAYOR'S ADDRESS.

Gentlemen of the City Council: I trust that we appreciate the great honor that has been bestowed upon us by being chosen to administer the munici­ pal affairs of our city for the coming year, and also that we fully realize the great responsibilities and the duties that, by our oaths of office, we have this day assumed. Λ city the size of ours, has many and varied interests to be cared for, requiring a great deal of time and labor upon the part of the members of the city council. Let us therefore give freely both of our time and labor to the end that the city’s interest and the city’s welfare may be prospered and promoted, thereby meriting the honor and the confidence bestowed upon us by our fellow-citizens. You all are well aware, per­ haps, what your duties are, therefore for me to attempt to outline them to you or to show you of what they consist is unnecessary. But this I ask of you,— that each one will give to the citv of Lewiston this vear, whatever his duties may be, the verv best thought and the verv best effort of which he is 1/ G ts capable, and if this we do, we shall at the close of the year have the consciousness of right endeavor, although we may fail to accomplish all that we desire. I present for your consideration the following statement of the financial condition of our city at the close of the municipal year February 28, 1905.

Reduction for the year...... $8,624.37 Concerning our financial affairs, I desire to call your attention to a practice which I deem most yicions. I refer

to the matter of holdingo hack bills in the latter months of an administration to be paid by the succeeding administra­ tion, for the purpose of making a good financial showing, on paper. In regard to this custom, I have this to say,— I believe in making the appropriations large enough to meetthe expenses of the city economically administered, and then the prompt payment of all bills when presented and properly approved. There will, of necessity, be a few bills go over from one administration to another, but I wish to see as far as possi­ ble, all bills contracted during the coming year, paid by this administration. Pay as yon go is as good a rule for the city as for the individual. At this time I know of no reason for any extraordinary expenditure during the coming year and therefore think our tax rate of twenty mills can be maintained, if not reduced. m a y o r ’s a d d r e s s . 5

S c h o o l s . The maintenance of the high standing of our public schools shall be the watchword of this administration. Let us allow nothing to interfere with the success and high standing which our public school system enjoys at the pres­ ent time. I wish to call your attention to a matter that has already been brought up in the school board, namely, that of holding our caucuses and elections in our public school buildings. I think this is wholly wrong, and earnestly hope that in the future polling places will be provided in which to hold our caucuses and elections other than our school buildings. The reasons for this are so obvious, that it is not necessary to mention them here. ation for schoolhouse repairs in the hands of the school board has, I think, been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all, and to return to the old method would be a step that this administration would not care to take.

P o o r T) e pa r t m en t . This department is one of the most important of the departments of the city, requiring as it does the outlay of a large amount of money. While I recommend a liberal deal­ ing with our city poor, and would have no one deserving or entitled to aid turned away and made to suffer, yet in jus­ tice to the tax-payers of the city, we should not allow our­ selves to be imposed upon by applicants for aid who are well able to support themselves, and who should be an aid and a help to the city instead of being a burden and expense to the people among whom they live. I would also recommend that the Board of Overseers of the Poor keep in closer touch with the clerk of this depart­ ment than has been the custom in the past, meeting with him as often as possible to discuss and talk over the business of the department and to assume some of the responsibility for the businesslike administration of the affairs of this 6 CITY OT LEWISTON.

'·* , · · * / important department. The rule in practice at the present time of refusing to allow children to come to this depart­ ment for city orders unless absolutely necessary is a step in the right direction, and will, I hope, be strictly adhered to the comingO vear. In selecting the head of this department the Board of Overseers of the Poor should keep in mind the importance of the position, meaning as it does a saving of thousands of dollars to the city of Lewiston, if a man well qualified and equipped for the post is selected instead of a man who is simply a party man and who has no other qualifications to recommend him for this place. Almost equally important is the position of superintendent of the city farm. A wise selection for these two positions means much to our city.

P o l ic e D e p a r t m e n t . A police force whose personnel is above all suspicion, and one whose one aim is the faithful performance of all their duties, should be the guardians of the lives and property of our citizens. The terms of fourteen members of the depart­ ment expire this year. The responsibility of the selection of their successors rests on the mayor and aldermen. Let us use in the selection of these men the same care and judgment that we would were we selecting them to watch over our own private interests. Men of character, men of integrity, men in whom the people have confidence should be chosen for these important positions. Other things being equal I believe a man having had experience in the department should be retained, as his experience should be worth much to the city, and not discard him from the fact that he has served one, two or more terms. The work of this department is of a high order and will, I think, compare favorably with the police departments in other New England cities. May its efficiency and high standing be continued during the coming year.

F ir e D e p a r t m e n t . The fire department, under the management of the Board of Fire Commissioners, together with the chief of the depart­ m a y o r ’s a d d r e s s . 7

ment and his subordinates, has reached that degree of efficiency that fully warrants the confidence and pride bestowed upon it by our citizens, whom it has served so faithfully and well. From the report of the chief engineer, I find that during the last year the department has been called out one hun­ dred and fifty-eight times. The value of the property involved in these fires, amounted in round numbers to two

hundred and fiftvxj thousand dollars. The total loss on this property was a little less than thirty thousand dollars, show­ ing the prompt and able manner in which the department performs its duties. During the past year a new hose-wagon has been pur­

chased at a cost of four hundred and thirty-three1/ dollars and fifty cents, also twelve hundred feet of hose at a cost of seven hundred and eighty dollars.

The followingo recommendations are made bvo the chief engineer, for the coming year: A permanent team and driver at the hook and ladder house; a permanent team and driver for engine Flo. 3; a permanent horse and driver for hose No. 2; a fire station located in the vicinity of Frye and Main streets; one in the vicinity of the Sisters’ Hospital, and also one on Lincoln Street. The purchase of three thousand feet of cotton rubber lined hose and also the purchase of a team for the use of the chief engineer of this department. These recommendations are respectfully referred to the Board of Fire Commissioners.

£ S t r e e t D e p a r t m e n t . A year ago the management of the Street Department, comprising the departments of highways, new streets and bridges, permanent streets and paving, permanent walks and sewers, was taken from the City Council and placed in the • ν ' * *· hands of a commission known as the Board of Public Works. This commission was composed of men of the highest stand­ ing among the professional and business men of our city. Upon them devolved the important duty of selecting a super- 8 CITY OF LEWISTON. intender) t of streets, or street commissioner. Their choice was Mr. Charles H. Weymouth of this city, a man of considerable experience along this lire of work. As the commission has had but one year in which to demonstrate to the people the wisdom of this change, it perhaps would only be fair and just that those of our citizens who opposed its creation, should withhold their judgment until such a time as the board shall haye had ample opportunity to justify the claims made by its friends. The following extract from the superintendent’s report may enable you to gain a slight idea of the work accomplished in this department. The canal bridges on Main, Chestnut and Cedar streets haye been thoroughly repaired or built oyer at a cost of about four thousand dollars and should now be in a condition to last many years. Other bridges through­ out the city haye also been repaired. About one thousand six hundred feet or nearly one-third of a mile of new sewers haye been built. One thousand six hundred and thirty-six square yards of new granite pay­ ing haye been laid besides the resetting of about one thousand four hundred square yards of old paying. One thousand two hundred tons of crushed stone haye been used in the repairing of the streets and the building of eighty rods of new road was made necessary by the building of the Lib- bey and Dinglev dam. Eight thousand fire hundred feet of ash walks haye been built and eighty hundred and thirty-five feet of granite curbing set. ' I wish to call to your attention the advisability of mak­ ing some permanent improvements on our streets in the resi­ dential portion of our city. More or less paving should be done on our business streets every year and I think it would be money well invested to make permament and beautify some of the streets along the sides of which are built some of Λ O " our beautiful residences. Possibly we cannot do much any one year but by the outlay of a little money each year, we would soon have our streets in a condition that would be both pleasing and profitable to our citizens. I trust that the m a y o r ’s a d d r e s s . 9

Board of Public Works will take this matter in hand and do a little a lo n gCO - this line the comingCJ year. If necessary let us make an extra appropriation lor this work.

M iscellaneous M a t t e r s . I wish to call your attention briefly to one or two ciues- i/ t/ JL tions not properly classed under any of the several depart­ ments. G r a t u i t i e s . There has been a growing demand, I am told, upon the municipality for assistance and special favors to persons and to institutions. The demand has come in the shape of requests both for special appropriations and for the use of the city property, either free of charge, or at rates below the actual cost to the city. This has been particularly true of the use and management of this hall, an abuse which has

increased from t. year to V year until it has become a by-word t and cries out for speedy remedy. I recommend that the proper committees take this matter under consideration at the beginning of the year and fix a scehdule of charges which shall be strictly adhered to. When this is done the city council should not interfere with it in individual cases.

P u b l ic F r a n c h i s e s . Private corporations have from time to time been given valuable rights in our streets free of charge to them, or for very slight returns. It is true that the development of many of these has added to the welfare and prosperity of the city.v But it seems as though o the time had come when the city should pay less for the use of the property of these cor­ porations for municipal purposes. From the last printed city report I find that almost five hundred and fifty dollars was paid in one year for telephone rentals and tolls and more has been added since the publication of that report. Ho com­ pany should be requested to furnish these telephones in unreasonable numbers but the time has come when the city should and can cease to pay money for this purpose. The 10 CITY OF LEWISTON.

v> annoyance and inconvenience of the wires overhead and the constant digging np and disturbance of the streets should be sufficient compensation for such benefits as the city derives from these for municipal purposes. I recommend that all contracts where rentals of this sort are paid by the city be cancelled. It is no longer necessary. The license last granted to a telephone company to enter this city provides for all the telephones required for municipal purposes free of charge. Unless other arrangements can be made it will be no insuperable inconvenience for the city officials to do without these instruments which are now used at public expense. Before closing allow me to call your attention to a very important and what may prove to be a very serious matter if prompt and vigorous steps are not taken at once for the pro­ tection of our city. I refer to the threatened invasion by the brown tail moth. I suggest that such action as you may deem wise and sufficient be taken at the earliest opportunity. Gentlemen, asking your indulgence for all mistakes that may arise through my inexperience, and pledging you my hearty co-operation in the work of the coming year, let us now enter upon these duties with the one purpose of so con­ ducting the municipal affairs of this city that at the close of

the c- vear our administration shall have been an honor and a credit to the fair city in which we live. WILLIAM E. WEBSTER, Mayor. CITY OF LEWISTON.

To the Honorable City Council of the City of Lewiston: Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit herewith a detailed report of the receipts and expenditures, together with the appropriations, for the year ending February 28, 1905, a schedule of city property and a statement of the resources and liabilities of the city.

Lewiston, Me., March 4, 1905. REPORT OF

SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER WORKS.

To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Lewiston: Gentlemen— 1 have the honor of submitting the annual report of the Superintendent of Water Works for the year ending February 28, 1905. The running expenses show an increase over the preced­ ing year on account of extensive repairs on the pumping machinery, cleaning the reservoir and repairs on the pipe line to Lake* Auburn. This account is for all labor as shown by the monthly pay-rolls, which include salaries of Superintend­ ent, Clerk and Engineers at the pumping station, for all stock and tools and supplies used in maintenance, repairs and renewals and is shown in annexed tables. The Auditor's report will show a detailed statement. The pumping machinery is in a more satisfactory condi­ tion than it, has been for years. New plungers and bushings were fitted to the Deane pumps, adding much to their efficiency. Quite extensive repairs were made on the wheel which drives the pumps. The Board having consulted with various experts in regard to changes needed to improve the power of the plant, it was decided to accept the plans of the Holyoke Machine Company to improve the power end of the Worthington pumps. New pinion gears, pillow boxes and bed blocks were set and other repairs made at a total expense of $2,000. This is included in the running expense account. The results are quite satisfactory and the Worthington pumps are doing good work for machinery that has been on duty over twenty-

five «/ years. The buildings at the station need painting on the out­ side and the tin roof should be replaced or repaired. The store house will also need new sills and shingling the coming season. The fence ought to be repaired or replaced. The outside racks and wood work should be renewed; also the gates that control the ΑοΛν from the river to the conduits and wheel pit. The efforts that have been made to stop the leaks through the outside walls of the wheel pit have not been 104 CITY OF LEWISTON entirely successful. More should be done. The inside racks and wood work in gate house should be renewed and repaired. Automatic sprinklers and other appliances for fire service have been installed in the station at an expense of $370.00. The main pipe lines and gates in the city are in good con­ dition. Some of the wooden o gate boxes will have to be renewed on account of age. Thirteen large and eight small boxes have been replaced this year. The roofs covering the pipe lines on the bridges will need repairs this year. The two very severe cold winters with great depth of frost may be the cause of the increased number of leaks which have occurred, filiere have been 4 leaks on main pipe lines in the city, 5 on imperfect service pipes, 8 on rusted service pipes and 23 in lead connections. There have also been extensive repairs necessary on the lake pipe line at an expense of $639.00. All of these repairs were charged to running expense account. Service boxes have been inspected and changed to conform to curbing set and grade changed in sidewalks. Thirteen ser­ vices of J-inch pipe have been relayed with 1-inch galvanized pipe. This indicates that nearly all of the old services have been changed. Construction has called for 1? new services of 1-inch, ί of Ifi-inch and one of 2-inch pipe. Two hydrants Irave been added. 1734 feet of 6-inch, 470 feet of 14 inch, and 1830 feet of 1-inch pipe have been laid, making a total of 4,034 feet of all sizes laid this past season. We are supplying one drinking and two ornamental fountains, a continuous flow during the season, and seven water troughs are furnished a continual flow the year round and kept in repair without credit or returns to this depart­ ment. fi liere has been an addition of ten miles to the main pipe lines and 300 families, 954 closets, 500 baths and 328 hose in the last ten years. The reservoir was thoroughly cleaned out in June, the paving reset around the top of the embankment and new timbers were set and new floor laid in the gate house. The entire expense of this was charged to running expense account. This amounted to $543.36. fifiie fence around the reservoir will need some repairs and a stiff coat of paint this season. Owing to the severe cold weather a fire has been ncessarv part of the time with more frequent attention than most seasons to prevent ice forming in the gate house, fifiie driveway around the lot could be improved, also the line fence next the Farwell Estate bv a slight addition to the run- ning expense account. Meters have been installed where equitable returns were REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER WORKS- 105 not received for water used or where an. unusual or unneces­ sary waste was allowed to exist. Ln all cases the results were such as to justify the policy of the Board in continuing the placing of meters in order to reduce the pumping, increase the income and discourage useless waste. $113.2? has been expended in repairs 011 old meters in use, and $165 for new meters. All this was charged to running expense. Cold weather endangers the water pipes 011 many premises where no thought is given as to the effect of frost on the location of plumbing. The result is frozen pipes or running water. Plumber’s bills are saved at the expense of this department. Meters placed on these exposed premises to reduce this con­ tinuous flow to dollars and cents is much more effectual than calls from the water inspector. The combined experience o l all water works officials is that the use of meters is indispen­ sable to control the supply. Two hydrants have been added to the plant this year making 1?9 now in use for fire service. One was set 011 Ware Street 600 feet from Main Street and one 011 Warren Avenue 700 feet from Eastern Avenue. These fire hvdrants are expected to be in order at all tims, free from ice and snow in winter and ready for immediate use. They are no income but increase the running expense for labor in caring for them and expenditure for supplies and repairs. An appropriation should be made for repairs if the yearly rental is to be abated. The usual inspections ha^e been made and they appear to be in good order. The use of hydrants should be confined to fire purposes and for 110 other use except in cases of most urgent necessity. One hydrant on Park Street was reseated, one on Middle Street had top replaced and frost jackets have been lowered and drains cleaned out on several. All are

flushed twice or more each 9 year./ The net income of this plant is not so much as some others owing to the rates being much less. Tn the 4,000 closets at $1.50, the 1,000 baths at $2, the income figures $8,000. This could be increased to $15,000 and still com­ pare favorably with the lowest in the state. A further com­ parison of other fixtures would be favorable to the consumer. The net income of the plant is transferred by law to the interest account of the debt incurred in securing the power for pumping and later used for street lighting in addition. The plant should be credited with power and housing for the fire whistle machinery. Various public institutions, charitable and otherwise, are supplied with water on very favorable terms to the consumer and at 110 profitable income to the producer. WATER WORKS AUDITOR’S REPORT

This certifies that I have, personally examined the accounts of Edward F. Jackson, Clerk of the Lewiston Water Commissioners. I find them to he accurately kept. The entries under the several headings of faucet rates, meter rates, repairs and con­ struction appearing in their respective places. The entries on Cash Book are correctly cast and entered on the Register. The abatements made have been properly entered and signed by the Committee. I find the amounts paid over to City Treasurer T. F. Callahan to correspond with vouchers therefor and the cash on hand to agree with the balance as entered.

Lewiston, Me., March 4, 1905. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER WORKS.

To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Lewiston: Gentlemen— 1 have the honor of submitting the annual report of the Superintendent of Water Works for the year ending February 28, 1905. The running expenses show an increase over the preced­ ing year on account of extensive repairs on the pumping machinery, cleaning the reservoir and repairs on the pipe line to Lake* Auburn. This account is for all labor as shown by the monthly pay-rolls, which include salaries of Superintend­ ent, Clerk and Engineers at the pumping station, for all stock and tools and supplies used in maintenance, repairs and renewals and is shown in annexed tables. The Auditor's report will show a detailed statement. The pumping machinery is in a more satisfactory condi­ tion than it has been for years. New plungers and bushings were fitted to tire Deane pumps, adding much to their efficiency. Quite extensive repairs wTere made on the wheel which drives the pumps. The Board having consulted with various experts in regard to changes needed to improve the power of the plant, it was decided to accept the plans of the Holyoke Machine Company to improve the power end of the Worthington pumps. New pinion gears, pillow boxes and bed blocks were set and other repairs made at a total expense of $2,000. This is included in the running expense account. The results are quite satisfactory and the Worthington pumps are doing good work for machinery that has been on duty over twenty- five years. The buildings at the station need painting on the out­ side and the tin roof should be replaced or repaired. The store house will also need new sills and shingling the coming season. The fence ought to be repaired or replaced. The outside racks and wood work should be renewed; also the gates that control the flow from the river to the conduits and wheel pit. The efforts that have been made to stop the leaks through the outside Avails of the wheel pit have not been 106 CITY OF LEWISTON.

The total amount of water primped for the year 1904 as measured by the revolutions of the crank shaft without allowance for slip is 1,589,106,250 gallons; a decrease of 168,- 453,405 from 1903, which is an average daily decrease of 461,- 512 gallons from 1903. The consumption is still far beyond a liberal estimate as compared with other cities of like situ­ ation. A gradual adoption of the meter system is the only available preventative to check waste and illegal use until the time arrives when the users and the public shall recognize that water from the city mains is merchandise as much as milk, ice, coal or any commodity, that there is an established price for it and the amount is limited for the price paid. The expense of obtaining and delivering this unusual amount of water adds to the running expense of the plant and decreases the income. Tables annexed will show classification of water supply, pumping record, location of mains extended, valves set and annual and monthly expenses and also the yearly expenses from 1880 to the present time. Following will be found number of relavs and new services, location and size of v - / __ meters,' inventorv t/ of stock and tools, ✓ location of hvdrants *.. and the water rates, rules and regulations of the Water Board for the water taker and the public. The men under my direction are commended to your favorable notice. To the Clerk of the Board I express my thanks for assistance at all times. In closing my report I wish to thank each member of your Honorable Board for the courtesy and consideration extended to me in the discharge of my duties. Yery respectfully submitted,

CYRUS M. LUNT, Superintendent.

L e w i s t o n , March 20, 1905. To the Board of Fire Commissioners : I have the honor to submit my report as Chief Engineer of the Fire Department for the municipal year just ended. It will contain as in the past what has been accomplished, by the Department during the year, and the general condition of the Department.

M a n u a l F o r c e , The manual force of the Departmnet remains the same as last year as far as numbers are concerned. The force may be classified as follows: Permanent men, one Chief Engineer, one Superintendent of Fire Alarms, one driver for Hose No. I, one hose man for Hose No. 1, one driver Chemical No. 1, one tank man Chemical No. 1, one pipe man Chemical No. 1, and fifty-four call-men.

C a s u a l t i e s . One death has occurred in the Department during the year, Moses Chick, driver of Engine No. 4, died, Oct. 14, 1904, of paralytic shock. Also one serious accident. On going to a fire, September 6, in response to alarm from box 38, John McCarty, hose man, Hose No. 1,was run over by Ladder Truck Xo. 1, and seriously injured.

P r o p e r t y L o s s e s . I beg to append herewith a summary of the property involved in fires together with, the losses thereon. Total value of property involved in fires, on which claim for loss is made, $246,235 58 Total insurance thereon, 136,633 00- Total losses, 29,874 80 121 CITY OF LEWISTON.

A l a r m s . There has been a slight decrease in the number of alarms since my last report. The number with their classification appears in the following table: Box alarms. 57 0- ' Telephone calls, 88 Still alarms, 9 Chief’s calls, 4

Total, 158 There were 16,500 feet of hose laid by the Department at fires during the year: 3,027 gallons of chemicals used; 1560 feet of ladders used, and the distance travelled aggregated 166 miles.

B u i l d i n g s . There have been no changes made in the buildings dur­ ing the 3'ear, and they are in fairly good condition; but again I call vour attention to the fact that thev are in need of t·' painting.

A p p a r a t u s . A new hose wagon has been purchased this past year to take the place of the old iso. 1 hose wagon, which is to be used as an exercising wagon, so that the apparatus is as fol­ lows : Two steam fire engines. Three hose wagons. Two hose reels. Four hose pungs. One exercising wagon. One aerial hook and ladder truck. One hook and ladder truck. All this apparatus is in good condition with the exception of Engine Xo. 3, which is in need of repair, and the old exercising wagon, which has been condemned.

F i r e A l a r m S y s t e m . There have been no changes made in the system during the past year. H o s e . Twelve hundred feet of cotton, rubber lined hose, have been purchased the past year. REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. 125

As I asked last year for the purchase of four thousand feet and but twelve hundred were purchased, I repeat the recommendation by asking for the purchase of three thous­ and feet this year. We have 12,750 feet of hose on hand in different stages of value, and which may be classified as 5,000 feet of good; 1,850 feet fair; and 2,900 feet in very poor con­ dition.

H o r s e s . There are seven horses owned by the Department and are in good condition with the exception of one, of Hose Ho. 1. This horse is lame and should be replaced by another.

E ecommendations . The recommendations which 1 here bring to your atten­ tion are those which I consider most necessary to increase the efficiency of the Department, and are in a great measure the repetition of those which have been given in the past, but we feel by constantly calling your attention to these changes you will be led to see the necessity of action. I would recommend a permanent team for the use of the Chief Engineer of the Department, also a permanent team and driver for Engine Ho. 3, Central Fire Station, Ash Street. A permanent horse and driver for Hose Ho. 2 at Central Fire Station, a permanent team and driver for Lad­ der Truck Ho. 2, Park Street station. I feel the efficiency of the Department would be enlarged by Fire Stations in other parts of the city and I would recommend one to be located in the vicinity of Main and Frye Streets, one in the vicinity of the Sisters’ Hospital, also one on Lincoln Street. I would also recommend a three-horse hitch for Engine Ho. 3, Engine Ho. 4, Chemical Ho. 1, and Ladder Ho. 2, to be used in hard travel. There should be three new fire alarm boxes, one corner of Skinner and Wood Streets, one corner of Ash and Howe Streets, also one on Wood Street, near Hew High School Building. I would also recommend the purchase of a new hose pung to replace the old one now used by Hose Ho. 2. The buildings need some repairs and I would recommend the placing of hardwood floors in the sleeping rooms and bath room of the Central Fire Station, Ash Street. The painting of the engine rooms of the Central Fire Station and the painting of the interior of Park Street Fire Station. 126 CITY OF LEWISTON.

The purchase of three thousand feet of cotton rubber-lined hose and one set of swinging harnesses for Hose No. 1 to replace those now in use, which are in poor condition.

C o n c l u s i o n . In closing I desire to express to the officers and members of the Department my appreciation of the earnest and faith­ ful manner in which they have performed their duties, and to you, gentlemen of the Board of Fire Commissioners, my sincere thanks for the interest manifested in the affairs of the department.

Respectfully submitted,

In Common C ouncil, ) March 20, 1905. j Report read, accepted, and ordered placed on file in concurrence. II. W. LITCHFIELD, Cl e r k . REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE AND POLICE ALARMS.

To the Honorable Board of Fire Commissioners of the City of Lewiston : Gentlemen— I have the honor to submit herewith my fifteenth report for the year ending February 28, 1905. The full number of alarms received at the Ash Street Engine House was 178, of which Lewiston had 57 bell alarms, 4 chiefs calls, 85 telephone and 9 still alarms; total, 155. Auburn had 17 bell alarms and 6 chiefs calls: total, 23. There have been no permanent improvements made during the year, but the heavy sleet storm made it necessary to run new wire in-a number of places and this year there is a number of miles that ought to be rebuilt as it is getting old and unreliable. For permanent improvements I would again call your attention to the very great danger of having the whole of our fire alarm system in two circuits; every trouble we have had with thie boxes registering wrong has been traced to that cause, and I would again recommend your investigating the offer of the GameAvcll Company made last year, as it would make our system first-class and not cost any more to main­ tain than it does now. I would again recommend that signal boxes be placed in the following locations: One at the corner of "Wood and Skinner, one at the corner of Ash and Howe streets, and one near the Jordan High School building.

To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Lewiston : Gentlemen— In accordance with the requirements of the -city Ordinances I herewith submit my annual report of Inspector of Wires for the year ending February 28, 1905. During the year I have inspected 109 buildings wired for lights and power The number of lights and power motors installed is .approximately as follows: 1,351 lG-candle power lamps. 14 arc lamps and 135 horse power in motors. In addition to the above I have located a large number of poles for the Electric Light and Telephone Companies, and inspected the line work and find that all the companies are doing better work every year. 1 wish to call vour attention to the rules regulating the poles in the streets. As they are now every company can have a line of poles on every street in the city. It is wrong and there should be an ordinance passed that would compel all telephone companies to use the same poles and all light and power companies to use the same poles where the

voltageo used does not exceed 2.200 volts. Eespectfullv submitted, F. R. WHITNEY. y Inspector op Wires.

To the Honorable Board of Overseers of the Poor: Gentlemen— I herewith respectfully submit the following report of the City Farm and Almshouse for the year ending February 28, 1905. The general health of the inmates has been excellent dur­ ing the past year. The number of deaths has been six, and the names of the deceased are as follows: Charles Euncllett, died May 5, 1904. Daniel Boyd, died May 31, 1904. Mary Allen, died October 1, 1904. Edward Hinkley, died November 25, 1904. Samuel Hyde, died January 27, 1905. Mary Bossey, died January 27, 1905. There have been three births during the year, two girls and a boy. The whole number of inmates was 72, of which six died. The total number at the farm at present, including births and new arrivals, is sixty-nine. The crops have been unusually good this year. We had about 2,000 bushels of potatoes, 80 tons of hay, 300 bushels of oats, 150 tons of ensilage, corn, 8 tons of straw, 900 busheis of turnips, 400 bushels of beets, 300 bushels of car­ rots, 5 tons of squash, 5 tons of pumpkins, 50 bushels of beans, 30 bushels of tomatoes, 5,000 cucumbers, 6,000 heads of cabbage, 25 bushels of green peas, 50 bushels of string beans, 50 barrels of apples. Improvements made on farm during present year: A house built over the spring well that supplies water for the house. Also bought a boiler of 110 gallons capacity for cooking food for the hogs and cattle. This was a much- needed improvement. Built a house over this boiler a short distance from the house, so there is no danger of fire. Also bought a new hay rack as the ones here were not fit to use. Bought a new mowing machine, a new double horse sled and a new horse. Also a set of runners for a single dump sled. I built a new piggery under the old barn making a dry. clean place for the hogs and convenient to the house. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF CITY FARM. 149

We have plowed twenty acres of land that is new manured and ready for spring. We have carried about GOO loads of dressing so far. Through the courtesy of Mr. Bean, agent of the Andro­ scoggin Mill, I got all the cotton waste of the mill, with 110 expense to the city, which gave us all the dressing necessary for the farm. 1 have two thousand feet of oak lumber sawed in four- inch planks, and live thousand feet of lumber (pine) sawed in one-inch boards, which will be very useful to the farm. There are one thousand loads of dressing under the barn for future use. This gives plenty of dressing for the farm. At the request of the Mayor, we have taken charge of these roads with no expense to the city. The returns of the farm this year to the City Treasurer have been five hundred and twenty-eight dollars and thirty- six cents, with receipts for every dollar. In my report I will say, I took charge of the farm when there was no produce here for either inmates or the cattle. I had to buy it all, also the seed which we planted. This year there is produce enough on hand to carry them to the next harvest. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, as Overseers of the Poor, for their kindness and advice to me during my term of office. I also extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Pendali Dresser, for his kind help and assistance, also City Marshal Wing and Deputy Marshal Leader, who never failed to give help when asked for it. I also wish to thank Mr. T. F. Callahan for his advice and assistance. Respectfully submitted,

L e w i s t o n , M e ., March 14, 1905. To the Honorable City Council: I beg to submit mjr report as City Solicitor for the muni­ cipal year just ending. During my term all cases that were pending on my assumption of office have been settled, leav- ing but new entries for my successor. Suit had been com­ menced by the City" against the Inhabitants of the Town of Pownal, but owing to the disappearance of material wit­ nesses, the same never came to trial, and was eventually entered neither party. This was a suit for supplies furnished a pauper whose residence was claimed by the city to have been in the Town of Pownal. The actions now pending against the city are those of Hanley vs. Lewiston, a suit founded on a claim for damages due to a defective sewer; Howard vs. Lewiston, a similar suit: Haskell vs. Lewiston, a suit brought for professional services rendered a pauper resident; Union Mater Power Company et als. vs. City of Lewiston et als.; and The Union Water Power Company vs. City of Lewiston. The suit of X V */ Haskell vs. Lewiston, is one in which the Inhabitants of the Town of Turner are the real defendants inasmuch as the pauper to whom the services rendered has his pauper resi­ dence in that town. The first mentioned suit of the Union Water Power Company is an action in equity in which the City of Lewiston is concerned so far as the question of its priority rights to the use of water power granted it under * its two indentures with the LTnion Water Power Company and the Franklin Company. The suit at law brought against the City by the LTnion Water Power Company is for diversion of water for which damages are claimed in the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars. As both of these cases are of very great importance it was deemed advisable that addi­ tional counsel be engaged for the purpose of defending them. Bv authority of the Citv Government, the services ί ' t of Judge Foster have been retained and these matters will soon be heard. Much of my time for the past year has been occupied in prosecuting criminal cases of all degrees before the Munici­ pal Court. And it may now be proper in leaving this office to question the propriety of making, as a part of the City REPORT OF CITY SLICITOR 157

Solicitors duty, that of attendance upon this Court for that purpose. It is eminently proper that violations of the City Ordinances should be prosecuted by the Solicitor, but it is

difficult to reason why the Citytj of Lewiston should ask its paid official to perform other work which is distinctly in the line of the County Attorney’s duties for which he is elected and for which he is paid. There is no question but that every County Attorney for this county would prosecute these cases willingly, but under the unwise provisions of our ordinances and the conditions contained in the annual legacy bequeathed in the Salary Resolve, this burden is very generously taken from him and placed upon the shoulders of the City Solicitor, thus making that individual pose as an example of the city’s charity to the State by paying him for work that the State is already paying others to perform. It is to be hoped that some action may be taken towards restricting the duties of this office to municipal affairs alone, and if this be done, and if the business of the past two years is any criterion by which we may judge of that of the future, it is safe to say that there will be plenty of opportunity in that field to engage the time and attention of the City Solicitor. It may also be proper to suggest a word in connection with the salary of this office. Fascination for public office never yet has, nor probably never will, produce a dearth of applicants, so that it may be fair to assume that candidates will never he found wanting to fill this place. Regardless of that, however, labor should have fair compensation, and when one considers the amount of work required and per­ formed bv the City Solicitor, one must realize that the V « S salary is ridiculously small. It is to he hoped that my suc­ cessors in this office will he remembered in the next salary resolve with an increase commensurate with the worth of their labors. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE S. McCARTY, City Solicitor.

The personnel of the department is as follows: City Marshal— Henry A. Wing. Deputy Marshal— Richard F Leader. Captain of Night Watch— Maxime Beaulieu. Patrolmen— Edwin Bailey, Andre Beliv eau, Charles Crowley, Edmund E. Fahey, Amide Gendron, James Gau­ thier, Patrick J. Hamilton, Leslie H. Haywood, .Michael T. Harkins, Adolph Jalhert, L.

George Wilding. Special Officer James Nolan has acted as patrol driver during the year. No regular man was appointed for the other patrol driver, and one of the regular officers was detailed for this purpose. The expense of running the Department was $21,541.51. I received during the year for public carriage licenses, tele­ phone messages, meals, and miscellaneous Rems, $95.16, which has been paid to the City Treasnrei. On account of an accident which happened to the patrol hone, it was nec­ essary to procure another, which was done at an expense of $175. A new patrol pung has also been bought. While there have been very few serious crimes during the past year, there lun been an unusual amount of business lor the Department. The officers have cheerfully per­ formed their duties, and there has been no friction or trouble of any9 nature. The equipment of the Department is in excellent condi­ tion, and very little in this direction will he required the coming year. The card system of filing photographs of criminals has been adopted, and is proving to he a great improvement. More complete records of the work of the department are now kept than ever before, and all docu­ ments pertaining to the business of the Department are properly filed and indexed. Mavor Skelton has taken an active interest in all the work and improvements in this department, and to his assistance and good judgment much is due. I would renew the recommendation so many Times made, that a padded cell should he provided. The necessity for this increases each year. Provision should he made, if pos­ sible, for a better patroling of the residential part of the city durino' the niuht. This is a matter to which 1 would 162 CITY OF LEWISTON. specially call tlic attention of the Mayor and Police Commit­ tee, and I wisli it might receive their early consideration. For valuable assistance rendered, thanks are given to Hon. Adelbert X). Cornish, Judge of the Municipal Court, and to the Recorder of the Court, Clarence V. Emerson.

To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen : Herewith is submitted my report as Superintendent of Hackney Carriages. There were 51 licenses granted. Four licenses were revoked but subsequently two of the parties were reinstated. The money received from licenses and carriage numbers has been paid to the City Treasurer. A commit­ tee should be appointed by the Mayor to consider the advis­ ability of a revision of the ordinances governing the licens­ ing of hackney carriages and the rates to be charged. It might be found advisable to make a distinction between the regular hacks and the so-called ten-cent carriages. Com­ plaints are made that people are told that they will be car­ ried to points in the city for ten cents, but that the regular rates established by the city are charged. This is a species of misrepresentation, but is one which the Licensing Board and Superintendent of Hacks have 110 power to correct.

McDonough was chosen as fumigator in all cases of contagious diseases, including consumption, whenever a death from this disease should be reported to the Board. Chas. P. Dearborn was elected plumbing inspector for

the remainder of the year.c Since the Board was organized, September 6, we had nine cases of scarlet fever and nine cases of diphtheria. The house of each of these patients has been fumigated, and quarantined until the attending physician notified the Board that all danger of contagion was past; when it was again fumigated,o ✓ and the inmates allowed their freedom. A large number of nuisances have been abated during the past year, but a multitude still remain, which should be attended to the coming year. Several property owners have been ordered to connect their buildings to the sewer, and most of them have complied with the rules of the Board. The work of the Inspector of Plumbing has been thorough and impartial in all cases.

To His Honor, the Mayor, and Members of the City Council: 1 herewith submit to your honorable body my report as Citv Physician for the year 1904-1905: Calls at private houses, 397 Calls at Office, 308 dills at Almshouse, 15 Calls at Police Station, 23 12 patients have been examined for supposed insanity, 10 have been declared insane and sent to the Insane Hospital. 1 bave attended two cases of fracture: One of the leg. the other of the arm. I have been called to attend four confinement cases, two in the city proper and two at the almshouse. In my opinion it is very improper to send such cases to the Poor Fa run unless a trained nurse shall attend the patient. In spite of the good will of the Superintendent's wife, it is impossible for her to give proper care to the patient, therefore her life is in great danger. 1 would rec­ ommend that a suitable place be built or secured for the sick inmates. Better treatment then could he given to each with less expense of time. I would recommend that a padded cell should he arranged at the police station, as it is very unsafe to keep insanes in the present women's cell. I desire to thank all the city officials for their courtesy, especially the Clerk of the Overseers of the Poor, Mr. P. Dresser; the Superintendent of the Farm, Mr. J. d. Ken­ nedy and the Police Matron, Mrs. Etta Mitchell, who has been a Providence to the poor families. Respectfully submitted, J. L. GAGNOH, M.D., City Physician.

To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Lewiston : Gentlemen— I beg leave to submit a report of a small part of the work done by the Police Matron for the year ending February 28, 1905, this being my seventh annual report in this capacity. Much of the work is of a kind that it would not be proper to make public; but I have reported daily at the offices of the City and Deputy Marshals and Police Station and have performed any duties required of me; have visited and tried to help all female prisoners, hav­ ing persuaded many of them to sign a temperance pledge, which I trust some of them have kept; also have induced many boys and men to sign the pledge, furnishing a printed card which they carry; have sent several cards into jail which were signed, and, I trust, kept. I have tried to do all I could for wayward girls, but until we have a Reformatory, I see little hope for some of them. I think a Reformatory for women is LewistoiTs greatest need. The Rescue Home, carried on by Miss Morrison, has been very helpful in my

work. It has been a haven for rnanv(/ and they I are tenderly V cared for and encouraged to lead a better life. I have always endeavored to carry as much cheer and comfort as possible into sick rooms and cheerless homes, and as many delicacies and flowers as my purse and garden would allow. The past year has been very trying for poor people. The severe cold winter, scarcity of work for men, in many cases, and sickness, intemperance, and shiftlessness in others. Then, Lewiston having so good a reputation abroad, many poor people come here from other states and countries, thinking they will find friends and employment. In a short time they call on the Poor Department for food and fuel and on the Police Matron for clothing and a place to work, while many deserving poor of our own city suffer and will not ask for help nor accept it as paupers. It is then the Police Matron needs assistance. I have often emptied my purse, borrowed money for them, and carried provisions from my home to supply their immediate wants. I find by REPORT OF POLICE MATRON 167

eo doing they often take courage, find work, and are “ all right” in a short time. In former years the Belief Society aided in such cases, giving groceries, coal, wood, new shoes, new and second­ hand clothing, bedding and other things. This year I have missed that, although I have given out about 800 pieces of clothing, furnished by them before they disbanded. In August, through the kindness of the L. B. & B. Street "Railroad, about 500 poor children were given a ride and outing at Lake (trove, with a picnic dinner provided by the good people and successfully carried out by many able assistants. The children were invited to attend the vaude­ ville, which they greatly enjoyed. A week later 70 of the Social Settlement children wejre given an outing at Merry-

meeting,O/ with a treat furnished bv · the Directors of the Set- tlement, who accompanied the children. I sent several

children into the countrv^ during O the summer vacation,' which was very beneficial and enjoyable, both to the children and to the people who took them. Thanksgiving the young people of Bates Street Baptist Church, as is their custom, invited forty-five of the poorest children I knew to a supper in their church vestry, which was greatly enjoyed and will never he forgotten by those present. Many others were invited into private families to dinner. The children were not forgotten at Christmas. T issued no tickets, neither had trees, but had a “ Box Festival,” placing each child’s gift in a box. Through the generosity of the State Grange, which met here, and others in the city and other towns, I was enabled to do more than ever before for the poor. I gave 600 gifts of clothing, more than 1,000 toys, books and games, and money to many who needed it to buy food, medicine, fuel, shoes, and to pay rent. I think it was the happiest Christmas of my life, I had so much to do with. There are some who never forget the poor at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, but some generously remembered them the past year who never did before, thus proving that “ the world is growing better. ’ During the vear I have found temporary homes and hoarding places for many children, eleven of whom have been legally adopted into good homes—making sixty- one during the seven years of my work. This I consider the best work I have done, as most of them were orphans or for­ saken. 168 CITY OF LEWISTON

I have written 686 business letters, most of them at home, frequently sitting up all night in order to get them written;7 distributed 16,9237 articles of clothing, besides liun- dreds that were not counted (not having had time); also beds, bedding, carpets, rugs, furniture, loads of good literature and other useful things. I have been unable to make as many calls as heretofore, as the people come or send to the office. i have found employment for 148 men, women and children and could have placed as many more could I have secured the women. I have visited the hospitals, Young Women's Home,

Social Settlement, Rescue Home,7 and Healy */ Asvlum,%; / all of which are doing good work. In closing 1 tender mv thanks to the city government C. 1 <5/ * * for kindness; to Clerk of Courts C. V. Emerson, who has been of great help to me; to the L. B. & B. Street Railroad Company for free pass and many other kindnesses; to the Marshal and Deputy and all other officers, who have always been courteous and kind to me; to the Overseer of the Boor, Mr. Dresser, who has always been willing to help me; to the 23 cities and towns which have sent me barrels, boxes and parcels, and especially to the press, the greatest helper of all, which has made my wants known, and to all who have helped me in anv wav. t 9 > "Respectfn 11 v submitted,

volumes were withdrawn, 18 lost and one burned byt/ the Health Officer, making a net gain of 1,447 volumes. The purchases for the year have been made from the best of the current publications. Several important additions have been made to the Reference Department, namely: New International Encyclopedia, 17 volumes. Standard Dictionary, last edition, 2 volumes. Lippincott’s Biographical Dictionary, 2 volumes. Lippincott's Gazetteer. Index to Poetry and Recitations, Granger. •J 7 0 Irish Literature, 10 volumes.

The most encouraging feature of the year’s work has been the ever-increasing use that has been made of these rooms. The reading-room has 78 of the leading periodicals on file and six newspapers. The hound volumes of the peri­ odicals are in constant use by the1 Bates College and High School students. A large number of volumes from the stacks are used each day in connection with reference work. It has been greatly regretted that it has been necessary to carry on the work on the catalogue in the reference room, ^ —· as it has caused more or less confusion, but this has not pre- 174 CITY OF LEWISTON. vented a large amount of important and useful work being done in the room.

Osgood, and her able assistants, Misses Tracy and Little, have given the patrons of the institution most excellent service, and their work has been very satisfactory to us. During the year three young ladies have taken advan­ tage of the opportunity afforded by the Trustees to fit for assistant service, and we are therebjr given a reserve force to call upon when occasion requires. These three young ladies are Miss Elinor Sands, Miss Ethel D. Ham and Miss Buth Tucker. All who thus fit themselves for- this duty are required to give one month's service, for which no compen­ sation is allowed, after which they receive pay for services rendered when called upon. It is the intention of the Board of Trustees to secure the most desirable literature for the reading public, and they will fully appreciate any and all efforts that may be made to assist them in obtaining titles of valuable and useful books. It is a great source of satisfaction that we are able to invest a fairly liberal amount each year for the addition of REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY. 175 good literature, and we congratulate the public on the degree of success we have been able to meet with. It will be noticed that the amount of funds received for fines does not appear in the financial statement above. It has been the practice of the Trustees to deposit these special amounts in the Savings Bank, to be used hereafter to secure publications to replace those worn out by use, and whenever

there is a demand for changesv / along these lines the funds will be used for this purpose.

L e w i s t o n , Me., Marcii 20, 1905. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council : Conformably to the provisions of the Statute creating it, the Board of Public Works respectfully submits its first annual report. By an Act of the Legislature approved March 2d, 1903, and going into full effect on the third Monday of March,, 1904, this Board was organized with the following personnel:

Term expires. Fordyce C. Farr, Chairman, 1905.

AAdren the Board was finally organized it was determined that the Superintendent should be elected to serve during the pleasure of the Board and should in turn be given full power in the selection of assistants and help. In other words he is to be entirely independent in the choice of his help and to be held responsible for the results. The Board, however, while not reserving to itself any power in the selection of assistants and help, expressly stipulated, that all such might be at any time discharged by the Board, if it saw fit, thus reserving the veto power where- ever circumstances seem to warrant its exercise, but waiving all right to embarrass the Superintendent with assistants

So far a? possible the expense of running the Depart­ ment has been cut down. This has been affected by a reduction in the number of subordinate officials and in "the employment of more uniformly efficient help. When the work usually done in the summer months was completed, two of the foremen or bosses were discharged, with a saving of twenty-four dollars per week. The position of city car­ penter was abolished and a competent all-round man has been employed, who could do the ordinary work required in that department, and when not needed there, take charge of a crew or do any other work required of him. Instead of employing an extra man as night watchman at the city stable, a comfortable room was furnished there at reasonable expense, and the city feeder has slept there in order that he might be at hand in case of fire. When it has been necessary to send out separate crews for work, some competent member of a crew has been detailed to take charge of it and as far as practicable, to work with it. The drivers of single teams have been asked to assist their crews and in that way have often done away with the expense of one extra man. The Department has had to go to considerable expense during the past year in the matter of repairing and rebuild­ ing bridges, and has thus had to draw upon its appropria­ tion to an extent which was not anticipated, even when the appropriations were made. This was especially true of the bridges over the canals. When the real condition of the bridge of the Main Street Canal was discovered, the question of building a steel structure was seriously considered. The history of the life of this bridge and the estimates of cost of a steel bridge indicated, however, that a convenient wooden bridge could be kept there at no greater expense than the interest on the cost of a so-called permanent bridge, thus saving the first cost of the steel bridge, and the wooden bridge was rebuilt. This was widened and the north side straightened. Tt has been the purpose of the Board to make such per­ manent improvements as the several appropriations would warrant, and to make the same with a view to a continuity of plan. In addition to the relaying of the paving on Main Street, made necessary by building the sewer during the preceding season, a portion of Park Street has been pared. 178 CITY OF LEWISTON.

This followed the work of the previous year, when the distance from Pine to Ash Street was paved. During the coming year the paving of Park Street should be completed from the point where work ceased last sum­ mer to Ash Street. That will make a continuous strip from Pine Street to Main, and practically to the junction of Chapel and Lowell Streets. Paving should also be done on Cedar Street from Lisbon to the point where a previous administration stopped. There is also need of immediate permanent work on Pine Street, raising the grade and installing macadam. Frye Street should also be macadamized for the entire length. This street is made particularly bad from the amount of water which comes from the mountain. Its con­ dition would also be materially improved by removing a part of the trees. They have become so thick that very little sunlight and heat reaches the street proper. Considerable has been done in sewering.It was found necessary to extend the Jepson Brook sewer in order to avoid a condition threatening an epidemic from the deposit of refuse where the water in the brook was not of sufficient volume to carry it away readily. The building of the new college dormitory made it nec­ essary to extend the College Street sewer. That on Sylvan Avenue was also extended so as to accommodate other houses in that vicinity and to take care of the large quantity of surface water found there. The Sabattus Street sewer should be extended as far as the grade of the street will permit, both on Sabattus Street and East Avenue. This is required not only for the accommodation of the houses there, but that the streets may be permanently improved. It is the intention of the Board to do so as soon as it is assured of the necessary appropria­ tion. With this should go the building of a short sewer from Skinner Street along Sabattus toward the Sisters’ Hospital for about two hundred feet. An early beginning should also be made on a sewer for Pettengiil Street. The proposed rebuilding of St. Peter’s Church has brought up the question of reducing the grade of Bartlett Street hill. This is called for both in the interests of the architecture of the church and the convenience of travel over the hill. The managers of this enterprise and the Board have taken the matter up together and have reached REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. 179 an understanding whereby the city is to reduce the grade of the hill two feet, the Church taking care of all questions of damage to abutters arising from the reduction, the cost of rebuilding the sidewalk by the Church and of lowering the city water pipes. During the coming year it will be necessary to repaint the Lewiston end of the “ North Bridge,” to repair or rebuild the bridge at Crowley's Junction, and to complete the repairing of the Cedar Street canal bridge. Aside from this it is believed that little will be required on bridges. While there are some unpaid bills in this Department, as is usually the case in all departments, a constant attempt has been made to cut them clown, and it is believed that they will be found to be smaller in the aggregate than for a number of years. For the information of the City Council and of the Board in the future, the following statistics are given as a part of this report, and the annual report of the Superin­ tendent to the Board dealing with the year's report more in detail, is appended:

L e w i s t o n , Me., March 14-, 1905. Office of Supt. of Public Works. To the Honorable Board of Public Works: Gentlemen— I have the honor to submit the first annual report as Superintendent of the Department of Public Works, for the fiscal year, ending February 28, 1905, also an estimate of the appropriations necessary for the proper maintenance of the streets and roads and such other per­ manent improvements as may be ordered by the Board of Commissioners. Following is a list of the amount expended in the differ­ ent divisions for the past twelve months:

S e w e r s . During the past year five new sewers, aggregating 1585 feet in length, have been built. The following list gives the itemized cost of each sewer: Sylvan Avenue sewer starts at the end of the old sewer and runs westerly to the junction of Sylvan Avenue and Green Street, a distance of 540 feet. 500 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer and 40 feet of 24-inch brick sewer.

Ten new catch basins have been built and connected with the sewer— 1 basin on Elm Street, 1 basin on Newman Street, 1 basin on Ware Street, 1 basin opposite the Fair Grounds, 2 basins in Hines* Alley, 1 basin corner Ash and Shawmut Streets, and 3 basins on the Sylvan Avenue sewer. Two manholes were built on the Sylvan Avenue sewer and <.·

1 manhole on the Gullevtv sewer. All the catch basins in the city were cleaned out once, 60 basins were cleaned out twice and 20 basins were cleaned out three times and a number of basins repaired. In the early spring $100.00 was expended in repairing the sewer on Park Street in front of the Public Library.tv A sewer cart was purchased for the purpose of carry­ ingo awavJ the refuse matter taken from the catch basins, ' and it has been a great saving to this division and I would sug­ gest the purchase of another for the coming season; the price of this cart was $192.00. It costs $6.00 a day to run this cart, or a saving of $2.25 on every day's labor over the Cv ’ f t old way. The total amount expended in cleaning and repairing catch basins was $1,066.87.

P e r m a n e n t S t r e e t s a n d P a v i n g .

A part of Park Street was the only newly paved street, 1636 square yards of granite paving being laid, covering the distance from Main Street, to the stone crossing at the south end of Wade and Dunton’s building; the total cost of this work was $3,061.83. 184 CITY OF LEWISTON.

In 1903 the paving on lower Main Street was torn up in order to build a sewer and being too late in the season, the resetting was discontinued until 1904, as it was necessary to dig up all the paving, from the Main Street canal bridge to Hotel Atwood, or about 1400 square yards. This proved to He quite an expensive undertaking, as it was necessary to remove a large amount of broken ledge, caused by blasting and filling the same in with gravel; the total cost of this work was $628.00. Considerable repairing lias been clone in places where sewer, gas. and ivater connections have been made. The entire macadam on lower Lisbon Street from Cedar Street to the Lewiston Bleacherv, has been resurfaced and a new piece of macadam was built on Main Street, from Mountain Avenue to Mare Street; 1200 tons of crushed stone being used on this job. A strip of macadam was built on College Street, from Frve Street to Skinner Street, and crushed Hone was spread in the alley running from Pine to Ash streets, between Horton and Howe streets. A new stone crusher was purchased for the sum of $675.00 to take the place of the old one and was in opera­ tion a number of weeks during the summer.

M e w S t r e e t s a n d B r i d g e s . Extensive repairs have been made on nearly all the bridges in the city proper. The bridge on Mill Street was torn up and new beams and stringers put in and a new flooring of 2-inch spruce plank. The total cost was $378.27. Labor, $139 00 Material, 239 2 i

The Main Street canal bridge was thoroughly overhauled and widened six feet. The old beam- and piers vere taken out and new ones of hard southern pine put in. The floor­ ing is of 4-inch kyanized spruce and 3-inch spruce plank. The old railing was taken off and a new one of spruce and cypress put up, making the bridge practically the same as new. The Chestnut Street and Cedar Street bridges received about the same repairing: new beams and stringers of hard pine were put in and a new flooring of kyanized spruce plank was laid on the Cedar Street bridge. The walks on the Chestnut Street bridge were replanked. It was at first thought that the repairs on the bridges would not be very large and only a sufficient amount of money was appropriated to carry on the repair­ ing. But this important matter received the prompt atten­ tion of the Superintendent and the Board of Commissioners, and it was at once decided to rebuild all the bridges that were in any way unsafe and put them in safe condition for public travel. The total cost of repairing these three bridges was: $3,963.71. The bridge on Oxford Street was replanked and new stringers put in and a number of bridges in the country were replanked and the stone work repaired. In the spring of the year the water from the river would wash in on the old Switzerland Road, caused by the con­ struction of the new dam at Deer Rips, making the road low 186 CITY OF LEWISTON. and muddy and unpleasant for people traveling over it to get in and out of the city. In 1902, the County Commissioners laid out a new road, but this action was never carried into effect, until 1904, when the old road was discontinued and a new one built, a distance of very near 80 rods; the cost of building this road was $680.00; $75.00 of this amount was spent in building stone culverts.

P e r m a n e n t W a l k s . About 9,900 lineal feet of ash walks were built in the following places: Noble Street, 50 feet; Webster Street, 1,200 feet; Sabattus Street, 2,100 feet; Ware Street, 300 feet; Lin­ coln Street, 150 feet; Pine Street, 285 feet; College Street, 800 feet; Birch Street, 550 feet; Middle Street, 50 feet; Gove Street, 1,800 feet; Sylvan Avenue, 800 feet; Skinner Street, 150 feet; Vine Street, 150 feet; East Avenue, 215 feet: Lisbon Road, 285 feet; Main Street, 800 feet; Lake Street, 200 feet; and in a great many places, old walks were recoated and rolled. Eight hundred and thirty-five lineal feet of new granite curbing, 2 feet wide and 6 inches thick, has been set in dif­ ferent parts of the city; 98 feet on AVest Rose Hill, 285 on Mill Street, 269 feet on Park Street, 60 feet on Cedar Street, 70 feet on Oak Street, 29 feet on Bartlett Street, 24 feet on Main Street; a stone crossing 34 feet long was laid on Bartlett Street, across Walnut Street; a stone crossing 30 feet long on Canal Street in the rear of Hall & KnighPs; a stone crossing 38 feet long on Holland Street across Oak Street; a stone crossing 72 feet long on Summer Street in front of Joseph AAkdslrs; a stone crossing 50 feet long on College Street, corner of Skinner Street, and a double stone crossing 60 feet long on Park Street, across Maple Street. The walk on Lisbon Street, from the Journal Building to the Trust Building, was torn up and relaid. The con­ crete walks on the corner of Howe and Sabattus Streets, was torn up and a new brick walk built. The concrete walk on Oak Street, above Sabattus Street was torn up and a brick walk replaced. The walk on Lisbon Street from Ash Street to E. S. PauPs store was torn up, the curbing reset and walk relaid; about 1,800 lineal feet of curbing and flagging has been reset and the walks in these places repaired.

H i g h w a y s . The appropriations and receipts for highways the past twelve months were $37,886.06. SUPERINTENDENT DEPARTMENT PUBLIC WORKS. 187

Of this amount the following sums were taken out, con sisting chiefly of the running expenses of the Department.

Lights, $52 53 Three hordes, 720 00 Load machines, 204 00 Depairing carts, 812 68 Repai ri n g h arn esses, 279 83 Shoeing and repairing, 819 29 Jvand rent. 480 00 Salaries of permanent men, 9,574 80 Feed and grain, 2,924 92 Hauling snow, 2,000 00 Collecting waste, 3.000 00 Sweeping paving, 1.650✓ 00

$22,518 05 Country work, 4.131 13

$26,649 18

The above amount taken out of the general receipts for highways will give us a balance of $11,236.88, on which to do all the repairing that may be necessary on about 33 miles of highways in the city proper, besides paying for all the minor supplies for the Department such as hardware sup­ plies, tools, etc. This amount as you will see is a very small sum on which to carry on this work. A saving of $2,377 has been made by reducing the number of permanent men in the office and stables. Extensive repairs in highways have been made the past year in the city proper and roads leading into the city. Lis­ bon Road has been turn piked and graveled in several places; the gutters put in good condition and in some places the road was widened making the traveling good as far as the city limits. Sabattus Road from Thorne’s Corner to the George Eadon place has been widened, about six feet being taken off the banking on the northerly side of the road and the road bed rounded up and graveled at an expense of $210.50. This piece of work has met with the approval of all persons com­ ing into the city over this road. During the winter season the snow would drift in on the road near Mitchell Hill making it necessary to break and shovel it out quite often at a large expense. In the fall of 188 CITY OF LEWISTON. the past }rear, a fence was built on the north side of the road preventing these drifts and saving the Department a large amount of money and labor. The outside districts have been well cared for, for the past year; the road machine has worked in every district from one to three days, putting the roads in good condition and widening the gutters. A large amount of gravel was put 011 these roads, in fact 1 think it is safe to say that better results were obtained by the work on these roads the past year, than during any previous j^ear. We have 32 agents to look after this country work and the total amount expended was $4,131.13, or $129.10 for each agent for the entire year. The following streets have been turnpiked and graveled in the city proper. Ware Street, from Main Street to Col­ lege Street; Birch Street, from Bates Street to Lisbon Street; Main Street from Bates Street to Blake Street; and Hospital Square; Sabattus Street from Wood Street to Central Ave­ nue; and from East Avenue, to Dr. GarceloiTs; Oak Street from Middle Street to Blake Street; Bartlett Street from Ash Street to Walnut Street; Chestnut Street from Lisbon Street to Canal Street; Blake Street from Oak Street to Ash Street; Bates Street from Spruce to Maple Street; Elm Street from Main Street to College Street; and High Street from Hammond Street to Lowell Street. The streets picked up and rolled with the steam-roller are as follows: College Street from Frye to Skinner Street;' Lisbon Street from Cedar Street to the Bleachery; Sabattus Street from College Street to Central Avenue; Main Street from Bates Street to Union Street; Park Street from Chest­ nut to Birch Streets; Holland Street from Maine Street to the railroad track; Oak Street from Middle Street to Union Street; Pierce Street from Ash to Pine Streets; Bartlett Street from Ash to Walnut Streets; Main Street from Moun­ tain Avenue to Ware Street; Wood Street from Sabattus Street to Holland Street; and High Street from Hammond Street to Lowell Street. In the spring, the snow and ice is removed from the alleys. The paving is cleared of all the ice and slush and kept in good condition during the summer. This is done at a large expense. Two teams are required to collect the rubbish, one team working all the vear and the other work- y C- ing four days a week. A large amount of money is required in handling this snow, although the past winter was rather favorable up to the middle of December. The storms that followed were SUPERINTENDENT DEPARTMENT PUBLIC WORKS. 189

severe and a lot of breaking was required, making the expense for hauling the snow and ditching the gutters up to the first of March about $2,000.00. When the teams are not engaged in road breaking, and hauling snow, they are employed in hauling gravel from the city pit and depositing it in the following places, making it convenient for early use on the streets in the spring. Tool House, 750 loads, Lisbon Street in front of Maple Street, 525 loads of stone and gravel. Stone crusher, 385 loads of stone. Ash Street 750 loads of stone and gravel and 200 loads on Lisbon Koad near Clou liar's. A large quantity of ashes was hauled from the several corporations. An estimate of the appropriations which I think will he necessary to carry on the operations of this department for the ensuing vear is as follows: V · X s

Before concluding the record of the work done by the Department of Public Works, I wish to state that it has been our highest ambition to give to the public in general, the best services that are possible; and as far as we have been able to learn, I think we have succeeded in accomplishing that pur­ pose. I also wish to thank His Honor, the Mayor, and the members of the Board of Public Works, for the assistance

and courtesyt, which they have always V been readyd to extend to the officers of this Department. To the various assistants in this Department, I am especially indebted for the skill with which they have performed the duties intrusted to them. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES WEYMOUTH,
