PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
HIGHWAYS
Only the usual appropriation of $20,000.00 was made in the annual budget, and later an order was passed appro- priating $10,000.00 additional for permanent highway im- provement. £ It was suggested that this $10,000.00 be expended on some particular street, and that curbs be laid and the sidewalks repaired so that when finished the street would be entirely completed, and to this end, on June II, 1906, I sent a communication to the Mayor, Hon. Charles J. Barton, as follows:
Dear Mr. Barton :-
Relative to how and where the appropriation of $10,000.00 for permanent highway improvement should be expended, I think all will agree that it should be in such a manner and location as to be of the greatest advantage to the City of Melrose.
From the wording of the order making the appropriation, "permanent highway improvement," it would appear to be the intention to completely build some highway in a per- manent manner and to complete the same, including curbing, walks, gutters, as well as the roadway, and that the work be done on some street or way least liable to be dug up; in other words, one that was drained and in which the sewer, water and gas pipes were in good condition; further than this, it should be some street that was generally traveled.
In order to consider the matter fairly, I have prepared a list of streets that seem to possess some of these qualifica- tions, and have made an approximate estimate of the cost of constructing them. It is impossible for me to make an exact estimate of the cost, as the amount of work that it would require to collect all the information necessary, would, with the limited facilities, take too long a time. The streets that suggest themselves to me, in the numerical order of the wards in which they are located, are: Franklin street, as being the main thoroughfare of the Highlands district and the direct road from the northerly portion of the city to Stoneham and Woburn; Porter street, as being the main artery of travel for the northeast section of the city to the center and to the railroad station; Wyoming avenue, as it is the direct road to the Middlesex Fells from the Wyoming station, and is also the main artery of travel for the southern
-

CITY OF MELROSE
! portion of the city of Medford, Winchester and Ar.ington; Emerson street, as being the direct way from Melrose sta- tion to the "East Side;" Upham street, as being a main thoroughfare to the center of the city, Melrose station, and also to Saugus, Lynn and Salem; Lebanon street, as leading to the extreme southeast section of the city and to Maple- wood; Main street, as being the principal thoroughfare of the city, and leading to Wakefield, Reading, Stoneham, and all points north and Malden, Boston and all points south; Grove street, as it is the main thoroughiare for a large sec- tion of the city to Wyoming station.
In estimating the cost of constructing these streets, I have in all cases included curbing, and have allowed a small item for repairing the present concrete and laying new walks where none exist. I have in all cases where the grade ex- ceeds 5 per cent. allowed for paving the gutters. In Frank- lin street and Main street I have estimated to replace the cobble paving between the rails with granite blocks; on Grove and Porter streets I estimated paving the entire street, and have in all cases where there are car tracks estimated on relaying the granite blocks. Other than this I think the estimates will explain themselves.
I will only add that while the amounts of these estimates appear large, the prices for the several items are small, and the work. if done, will exceed rather than fall under the estimated cost.
Awaiting your reply, I am
Yours very truly, W. DABNEY HUNTER,
Engineer and Superintendent of Public Works.

From the foregoing it will be seen that it was not difficult to find a place where this money could be expended, but when the matter was discussed in the Board of Aldermen it did appear that there was some difficulty on their part to decide which one of the numerous so-called main thorough- fares needed it the most, and as a result no particular street was designated by them, and inasmuch as the Public Works Department has no authority to lay curbing and assess the abutters for a portion of the expense, nothing in the nature of thoroughly completing a street could be done, and the money was practically expended as a portion of the appropriation for highway maintenance and repairs, and was particularly expended on Pleasant and Laurel streets.
