REPORT.
To His Honor the Mayor and Gentlemen compos- ing the Highway Committee for the year that has passed :
DEAR SIRS :- Please accept my sincere thanks for the many courteous acts and pleasant connec- tions while we have mutually worked together for the city's interests. I herewith submit to you a re- port of what has been done in this department through the year. As there is much comment, and as I am your representative, I can with justice say that for the expenditure they have only to see all that has been done to justify the expense.
As the last two years have passed away with their business depressions we may look to a more favora- ble winter that is to come.
And as that has caused a large outlay during the winter months in keeping the unemployed at work, helping them to gain a subsistence without applying to the Poor department you have, at least, been able to justify yourself by your acts.
As each year passes there are more calls-the sanding of sidewalks is quite a bill. Then the re- moving of ice from the sidewalks thereby to keep
292
ANNUAL REPORTS.
the city as far as possible from liability to accidents.
The indifference of the general public to do what they might to save expense, thus the large amount of paper and like materials thrown upon the public streets all cost in their removal.
The opening of streets for water, gas, sewerage,- and the setting of poles all through the city, although they are expected to do what is required, and in fact are made to-all help to keep the ball rolling.
Then the grand controversy is the removal of snow from Electric railroad. The city has allowed them to place their tracks through the most travelled streets of the city, and as the citizens claim, they are a great convenience; and to facilitate them in their operating they are forced to plough the tracks out. They remove the snow from the one side, while the city does the opposite side.
The question puzzles not only people here, but in many places where roads have been located as to what is the city's duties and what the company's.
In the introduction of roads they are given lib- erties and which after a few years of operating you would like to revoke, find yourself utterly unable to do what you would like.
Trusting that in the years to come you may look with some degree of pride at your actions and duties for the year 1894.
Yours with much respect,
CHARLES M. PRITCHARD,
Surveyor of Highways.

SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
In the appropriation for highways the general public are not aware of some expenses that in the aggregate amount to quite a sum. The city teams come in the close vicinity to the sum of $6,000 and with the purchase of new horses this year, adds to the amount.
The building of railways again, embankments for lumber and posts in all sections of the city, the minor repairs to all tools, the purchase of new, the repairs to road roller, together with its running expenses, conjointly come out of this fund.
In the different parts of the city there are many places, when, in the building of brick or concrete sidewalk, necessitates the alteration to steps or fences, and the expense is taken from the general highway fund.
REGULAR HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
There is much in this department done upon the outlaying districts.
The road machine does its work satisfactorily and is a great help in forming the road bed and in soils where not too hard is a good factor.
The pumping station road, owing to the heavy rains last summer, had to be wholly covered from the main road to the station.
Noble street was trimmed of its woody growth, and with the help of the road machine, was put in fair shape at a nominal cost.
Turkey Hill road had hauled upon it the past year 78o loads of material, not as good gravel as we could wish, but the best that could be found in the vicinity, together with what cinders we procured from Whitefield Mills, has done much to make it better, still there is much more that ought to be done on this particular road.
Jefferson street had a large number of loads and an outlay for
294
ANNUAL REPORTS.
200 tons of stone ; also Merrimac street from Ashland to the car stables was covered just before the winter set in.
Low street received over 500 loads and was continued from John Nichols' to George McClaren's and should be continued the present year to Johnson street.
This year there were laid over 5,000 yards cobble gutters. Paid $250 for paving stone over and above what the city had in reserve.
Ten new crossings were laid and 18 were raised and relaid with the paving.
For sand and labor in connection with its distribution about the city on icy sidewalks, cost $665.50.

Mr. Cashman had an undelivered balance from his former contract of 306 tons at $1.2472 per net ton. Cash paid, $377.61.
Thomas O'Neil had also a balance from his former agreement He delivered 2,083 gross tons at $1.321/2, $2,761.79 ; weigh bills $46.II ; a total of $2,807.90.
295
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS.
There has been used a large amount of refuse stone this year, more than any previous year, which lessens the expense materially on what has been done this year.
There is no longer any doubt to the general public, but as a matter of economy the stone roads are the cheapest.
There is complaint at times of the accumulated dust which could be overcome by a general sprinkling, but not too liberal as to my mind there is a limit.
Much comment occurred through the year, as the road roller was not used. There were reasons, one of which, the main one, there was a scarcity of water, for which we are largely de- pendent for in the construction of Macadam roads. The road roller was used on High street, also on Summit place, also on Market street, and as the spring opens they all are in good con- dition. To the observer the roads where the stone is put upon the surface, are soon made solid by the action of teams.
And I would add that wherever practical, to my mind, the surface dressing of crushed stone is cheaper than gravel and will stand the test when the frost comes out in the opening spring.
SIDEWALK DEPARTMENT.
The last few years have been marked with a great improve- ment. From Marlborough to Jefferson street on High, one con- tinued walk of brick and concrete; from Marlborough on Purchase to the depot, the same, and from Market square to Ashland street, as above, continuous walk of concrete; a great accommodation to the people at large and the outlay in the end will no doubt be a matter of economy. The applying of gravel as formerly used upon sidewalks, is more expensive than is generally supposed and of a poorer quality and only a few years will pass away before the city will have to haul long distances for all uses of whatever kind they may require.
296
ANNUAL REPORTS.
CONCRETE WALKS LAID.
During the year that has passed there has been laid in different parts of the city 6,512 yards at a cost to the city of 25 cents per square yard, a total of $1,628.
The contractor guaranteeing to keep the same in repair for the succeeding eight years, notwithstanding the amount of concrete laid, a great number prefer the brick walk with its additional ex- penditures and it is a positive fact that the repairing of brick can be done quite satisfactorily and its durability is beyond question- ing.
This year there were laid of new walks, 4,015 square yards at a cost of 45 cents, a total of $1,806.75.
There has been expended in repairs where the city pays the whole amount the past year, $815.95.
It will thus be seen by the above figures the amount done in new walks and also in repairing of the old.
DEPARTMENT OF CULVERTS.
For this department the surveyor has charge of all city cul- verts, the keeping in repair and cleaning of the same.
They are all in good repair except in a few cases where minor repairs will be needed. Quite a number have private drains attached to them and as the material is of that matter to obstruct running water they are sources of annoyance in the cleaning.
During the year a much needed extension was made at the Kent street culvert, also a connection from the Merrill street culvert.
Also by the sale of the city land at foot of Olive street, they were also extended and a connection was made to draw the water from Merrimac street at that locality.
The culvert at foot of Bromfield street was also extended to the sea wall beneath the railroad tracks, a much needed im- provement and one that will not need any more extension.
They all have been built the size which will admit the passage
297
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS.
of a man through them with a degree of safety and an oppor- tunity of working in them while there.
There are others that will need, and will no doubt have to be extended this year or next until they reach the banks of the river.
EDGESTONE DEPARTMENT.
This department has increased largely, but to the observing mind is an economical outlay, as it keeps the walks of whatever material in shape and I do not hesitate to say of what I have learned from observation that had the city from the date of its inauguration as a city given the abuttor his edgestone free of cost, there would have been but few streets without them and the city would have been the better financially for the act.
The present year there have been laid 10,760 feet at a cost to the city of 32 cents a foot, a total of $3443.20.
During the year many old edgestones have been re-laid and the amount is 2300 feet at a cost of 10 cents per foot, a total of $230.
COLLECTIONS OF ASHES AND RUBBISH, 1894.
This department has increased yearly for the last five years, as new streets have been laid out and the teams must call and make their weekly collections. The amount of paper, trim- ming of trees and shrubbery, and tin cans, does a great deal to- wards the amount that has to be collected.
. There has been added to the height of carts, until it has reached the limits.
Outside teams from the country come in and take the good ashes for fertilizers and hen pens, and the comb makers utilize what will answer in their business; the remainder we fill the city dump at Bromfield street, also some at foot of Kent street ; some are sold to outside parties where they wish to use for fill- ing purposes.
