Book Description

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Street Department of the City of Boston: 1894 Sir: In compliance with the Revised Ordinances, the annual report of the operations and expenses of the Street Department for the year 1894 is herewith respectfully submitted. Organization. The work of the department during the past year has been carried on under the same organization that was effected when the consolidated department was created in 1891, the several divisions of the department being as follows: The Central Office. Bridge Division. Paving Division. Sewer Division. Sanitary Division. Street-Cleaning Division. Boston and Cambridge Bridges. Each of the above divisions, with the exception of the Central Office Division and the Boston and Cambridge Bridges, is in charge of a deputy superintendent. The Boston and Cambridge Bridges are managed by two commissioners, the Superintendent of Streets being the commissioner for the city of Boston, the other commissioner being appointed by the Mayor of the city of Cambridge. The work of street-watering, which devolves on the Street Department, is carried on under the supervision of the Paving Division, with a foreman of street-watering in charge. This service could be more efficiently rendered if it were undertaken as a separate division with a responsible deputy superintendent in charge.
