To the Board of Public Works: Gentlemen: I herewith submit for your consideration my annual report, givinga more or less complete snmmary of the work conducted by or under the inspection of the engineering department during the past year. PLÜMBING. During the past year there have been 208 conuections made with the sanitary sewer system, requiring not less than 450 visits for the purposes of inspection. SEwr.its. There have been completed tvyo sewers, one m Lateral Sewer District No. 6, and one in Lateral Sewer District No. 7, detailed reports of these having been previously subruitted with the final estimates of the same. STREET WORK. The work under this head consisted of the ordinary routine work of layiug out of all street, gutter, and sidewalk grades throughout the entire season as was required tor construction purposes. The more prominent work in addition was the iroprovementof both drives on S. University ave., along the campus a detailed statement of which has been previously rendered. The construction of 29 brick crosswalks has also been under the supervisión of this department. Also the work of renum bering the buildings of the city accovding to the Philadelphia or block stytem of numbering. OFFICE WOItK. Under this head is included the work of making all estimates f or propose d and for completed work, the making of all sketches, maps, plans, profiles, specifications and keeping and flling of all records of work falling under the supervisión of this department. All the maps, etc, are now properly tagged and indexed, their classiñcation Deing such as to renderthem easily aecessible on consultation of the index book. JNVKNTORY.

Also the work of making plans, etc.r for propoed woik in Paving District No. 1, this latter work will be completed tirst and as soon as possible. REMARKS. Now that sanitary sewers are constructed in practically all the business and densely settled residence portions of the city. I would recommend that the provisions of the ordinance relative to sewer connection be pretty thoroughly enforced, this will in my judgLuent be productivo of great good to the city in the matter of health. I would again cali attention to the matter of drainage of our streets, and urge that steps be taken during the coming season to make a permanent disposal of storm water, at least in those districts which are now giving so tnuch trouble.
