The easterly side of Main Street, Foster Street to Upham, Essex Street, south side, Main Street westerly 230 feet, north side, Main Street to Myrtle Street, Essex Street, Vine Street to West Emerson Street, and the south side of Grove Street, Meridian Street to Whitman Avenue were rebuilt, using tar macadam.
Oakland Street, Vinton Street to Charles Street, East Foster Street, Lebanon Street to Larrabee Street, and north side of Grove Street, Lebanon Street easterly, were rebuilt, using macadam.
Franklin Street was widened, southerly side Tremont Street to Belmont Street, improving the looks of the street, and making a much safer crossing.
By agreement with owners, the easterly corner of Emer- son and Essex Streets was cut off or rounded.
The changes made at Melrose Station by Boston & Maine R. R .; new driveway, shrubbery, etc., and the setting of edge- stone, Essex Street, Emerson Street to Vine Street, made it necessary to have street railway tracks raised and the street rebuilt. Cedar Park, at railroad, was graded by the City, and an entrance to station made by Boston & Maine Railroad.
These improvements make this section of the City much more attractive.
Forest Street was partially constructed, Lebanon Street to Naples Road. Gutters have been paved as shown on table, East Foster Street, Oakland Street, etc.
Gravel or dirt sidewalks have had careful attention, soft coal ashes, gravel and stone dust being used to keep them in good condition.
All streets have been kept clean, 1,122 double loads of dirt were removed, and the business sections, main streets and around railroad stations were cleaned daily by push cart men,
