The drain running from Washington Street to Lockup was cleaned at an expense of $1.78.
The drain running from Wheelock Avenue to Nichols Street was cleaned at an expense of $1.11.
The drain running from Washington Street through land south of Dean Street to the river was cleaned at an expense of $3.11.
The drain running from Maple Street through land of W. A. Talbot and also the connecting drain running through land of S. D. Dean was cleaned and widened at an expense of $10.22.
The drain in the rear of Village Hall running to main brook in the Smith lot was cleaned at an expense of $13.50.
The drain running from School Street, west of Fulton Street, to Casey Street, was cleaned at an expense of $12.00.
The drain running from East Hoyle Street, connecting with the main brook in the rear of the Norwood Press, was widened and lowered and culvert cleaned at an expense of $54.00.
In lowering this drain it somewhat relieves the water which has been held back in the Everett lot, and as it had not been cleaned for a number of years.we practically dug a new drain.
The drain connecting drain from Day Street, and also the drain rear of Baptist church and the Smith lot, were cleaned at an ex- pense of $6.00.
The drain running from Walpole Street through the Hoyle and Everett lots and drain connecting in the Hoyle lot were cleaned and widened at an expense of $16.00.
The drain running through the Pond lot to School Street north of Nahatan Street, and the three connecting drains were cleaned and widened at an expense of $27.11.
RAKING, SCRAPING AND CLEANING GUTTERS.
The cost for scraping, raking and cleaning the gutters and cart- ing the material to the Everett School during the year was $747.43.
The material on Walpole, Washington and Chapel Streets was used to raise Hoyle Street at junction of Walpole Street. The cost of hauling to this location was $40.50, which is included in the above amount.
60
On Chapel Street the driveways running into the street were re -- moved at an expense of $11.50.
CLEANING GRAVEL PITS.
The cost of cleaning the Davis and Nugent pits before commenc- ing the work was $71.62.
CLEANING CATCH BASINS.
The cost of cleaning the catch basins and removing all inaterial during the year was $123.02.
ROLLING AND WATERING.
The cost of rolling and watering the streets newly graveled dur- ing the year was $95.53.
CARE OF SANITARY TUBS.
The cost of removing the material collected in the sanitary tubs. for the year was $16.73.
MOWING GRASS AND BUSHES.
The cost of cutting the grass and mowing the bushes during the. year was $112.74.
BRIDGES.
The bridge on Short Street was replanked at an expense of $51.64.
The bridges leading to the Nugent gravel pit were replanked' at an expense of $44.84.
The bridge on Everett Street was repaired at an expense of $3.46.
REPAIRS OF CATCH BASINS.
The catch basins on Railroad Avenue at the house of Richard Oldham, and on Day Street, corner of Washington Street, were re- paired, the old grates being replaced by a new and improved pat- tern, at an expense of $27.69.
PAVING.
The gutter on the south side of Winter Street, from Beach to Nichols Streets, was paved at an expense of $172.83. Cost per yard, 90c.
61
The crossing at the junction of Bond and Beach Streets was paved at an expense of $33.41. Cost per yard, 951% c.
On Prospect Street the gutter on the west side, from land of P. Fahy to catch basin at Nahatan Street, was paved at an expense of $165.66. Cost yer yard, 8034 c.
REPAIR OF PAVING.
The cost for the repair of paving (caused mostly by the freshet) -during the year was $61.80.
NEW CATCH BASIN.
A catch basin was built on Pleasant Street at north corner of the Morrill Ink Works at an expense of $28.71.
RETAINING WALLS.
A low retaining wall was built on the gutter location of the sidewalk at rear entrance of house of Thos. A. Houllahan, at an ex- pense of $16.22.
This was called for on account of cutting the street in abolition of the grade crossing at Winslow's Station. The drainage from the walk continually kept the sidewalk in a dangerous condition.
EDGESTONES.
On Washington Street 328 linear feet of edgestones were set. The cost for excavating and setting the stone per foot was 12c.
The total cost per foot, including all material carted for foun- dation and backing, was 28c.
The cost of preparing the sidewalk for concrete, including rais- ing the retaining wall, filling, and setting edgestone, was $224.21.
The cost of preparing the sidewalks on Munroe Street and Rail- road Avenue was $709.66.
These sidewalks were re-graded and called for a considerable amount of filling in places.
An edgestone of No. 1 block paving was set to retain the con- crete. The lawns on Munroe Street and a number on Railroad Avenue were raised to conform to the grade and fences removed and reset.
The east and west corners of Munroe Street were paved and also the corner of Pleasant Street and Railroad Avenue to the catch basin.
62
The expense for grading the sidewalk on East Hoyle Street was $264.23. This sidewalk was raised and widened to the location, which called for a large amount of filling to conform to the given grade.
In retaining the sidewalk at the Everett lot a considerable amount of loam was required to finish the retaining bank, which was filled with rough material. Edgestones of No. 1 block paving were laid in gravel from East Hoyle to Winter Streets.
The catch basin was lowered and a pipe connecting the Everett lot was entered and the street at this junction lowered for 75 feet.
The cost for grading for the crosswalk to Norwood Central Depot was $60.28. The square was raised front six to eight inches to con- form to the grade of the walk.
The cost for grading the walk at junction of Railroad Avenue and Washington Street, and removing material, was $4.61.
The cost of grading the sidewalk on Vernon Street from Rock- maple to house of Mrs. A. P. Stockbridge, was $2.67.
The highways, considering them in general, are in very good condition, and unless we have a severe freshet will need only ordi- mary repairs in the centre of the town.
The bridges are in good order with the exception of Everett Street bridge, which will have to be replanked.
I recommend that Washington Street (if deemed advisable) be macadamized from the location finished at the stone house to Cot- tage Street. If constructed by the rules of modern road building this will entail an expense of about $2,000.00.
I recommend that Washington Street from Short Street to Hawes Brook be raised in order to carry the water to grates placed in the new bridge, as the water now remains in the street. This will call for raising the sidewalk in places to form a gutter on the west side.
I recommend that the sharp rise at the junction of Munroe and Cross Streets be lowered; as it is now it makes a very abrupt corner.
I recommend that the sidewalk on the west side of Washington Street, from Nahatan to driveway at store of W. B. Hastings & Co., be concreted and edgestones set.
On the east side of Washington Street, extending from the work done last year to the square, should as soon as advisable be con- creted and edgestones set. This, I have no doubt, will receive your attention.
As there are a number of concrete walks which are sadly in want
63
of repair, I recommend that a portion of the appropriation be used this year for that purpose.
I recommend that the gutter be paved on the south side of Cot- tage Street, from the outlet of the catch basin on Prospect Street to the paved gutter at Nichols Street. If this gutter is constructed the culvert crossing Cottage Street at Nichols will be discontinued. The water will flow in a surface gutter across Nichols Street to catch basin at junction of Maple and Cottage Streets. The water from the cellar of A. Holton's house, which now flows across the street in the above culvert, will have to be continued under the paved gutter across Nichols Street in about 60 feet of six-inch pipe joining a pipe already laid in the sidewalk. This will call for a larger pipe being placed in the catch basin at the junction of Maple and Cottage Streets.
I recommend making this change for the reason that the culvert is not large enough to take care of the extra flow of water which it now receives, and is continually getting blocked, and is situated so near the surface of the street that it is difficult to enlarge.
In making the above recommendations I consider them of enough importance for your consideration, and trust they will receive your attention.
