ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :
We hereby submit our report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1924, with an itemized account of the expendi- tures of the various departments under our supervision.
HIGHWAYS.
The report of the highway surveyor, who has exclusive control of the ordinary repairs of highways, town ways, streets, sidewalks and bridges, will be found under a separate heading.
We recommend that a reasonable amount of money be ap- propriated for highways, town ways, streets, sidewalks and bridges so that they may be kept in proper condition.
Cedar street from the end of the 1923 layout to Dilla street was rebuilt during the year 1924 under the supervision of the Department of Public Works, Division of Highways.
As the final estimate of the work done by the contractor has not been as yet received from the Division of Highways, we are unable to determine the amount of money expended under the contract.
If a balance remains after the final estimate we recom- mend that it be used to improve the condition of this highway in front of the old Catholic cemetery, provided that the Divi- sion of Highways approve of such action.
CENTRAL STREET DRAIN.
The work on the Central street drain, for which the town appropriated a sum of money, has been completed, and it is hoped that the installing of this drain will relieve the Milford Shoe Co. plant from damage to their stock by water backing into their cellar.
CARE OF TREES.
We recommend that a reasonable amount of money be ad-
20
propriated for the care of shade trees and the planting of young trees.
