The annual inspection of all highway and foot-bridges has been made, together with special examinations when notified by the Superintendent of Streets of the progress of repairs. The management of all the bridges and draws between Cambridge and Boston, by the Acts of 1898, chapter 467, is vested in a board of two commissioners, which has charge of the following eight bridges, viz.: Cambridge street, Canal, Essex street, Harvard, North Harvard street, Prison Point, West Boston, and Western avenue to Cambridge; one-half the cost of the maintenance of these bridges is paid by each of these cities. Af

In the list of bridges those marked with a star (*) are over navigable waters, and are each provided with a draw, the openings in which are shown in a table in Appendix A. The width of the openings have been measured for this report.
