The expenses on the highways for the year 1900, as per Surveyor's books, are $3,732.20. In accordance with the vote of the Town your Selectmen purchased crushed stone to the amount of one hundred and forty-one dollars, eighty-one cents ($141.81), with which they have built about six hundred and fifty (650) feet of road at an expense of two hundred dollars ($200.00). Three hundred and fifty feet was built on Surplus Street, and three hundred feet on Washington Street, near Long Point Avenue. Building these roads being in the nature of an experiment with your Selectmen, these places were chos- en as presenting varying conditions, one being on a hill, and the other on level ground. The one on Surplus Street being nar- row, and having constant travel in the centre, has worn horse path to some extent; the road on Washington Street is in the judgment of your Selectmen a success.
