SELECTMEN'S REPORT
APPOINTMENTS
The regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the list of Town Officers and Commit- tees.
ROAD OILING
The past year $12,056.00 has been expended for oiling and patching. $5000. of which was allotted us by the State and County.
This money was expended on Concord Road, Sudbury Road, Pelham Island Road, Plain Road, a part of Connecticut Path, Cochituate Road, Pond Street, Plain Street, Pemberton Road, Harrison Street, Shawmut Avenue.
This oil was laid under the direction of the State Engi- neer.
MAIN STREET, COCHITUATE
Work was started very late in the fall, through the fact that the State Engineers deemed it necessary from time to time to make material changes in the specifications before going ahead with the work.
The sub-grade was prepared under the direction of the. Highway Surveyor, and the contract for surfacing was let to the Framingham Construction Co., the only bidder.
The Selectmen and State Engineers thought it advisable while rebuilding Main Street to include the square in front of Knights of Labor Hall. The State and County have agreed to let any balance remaining from the Main Street appropria- tion apply on this work.
STREET LIGHTS
The Edison Company have been instructed to install street lights as voted by the Town on Rice Road and Moore Road.
41
Installation, however, has been delayed on account of the recent storm.
It was deemed inexpedient to order installation of lights on Sudbury Road at this time.
The Selectmen again wish to thank the town officers and citizens for their co-operation during the past year.
