ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Highway Department has completed a very busy year. The usual amount of maintenance of roads, catch basins and drainage problems were taken care of satisfactorily. The floods of August 18th and 19th brought many problems. The north side of School Street from Pleasant Street to High- land Avenue was washed out. The debris filled the basins and blocked the School Street drain between Spring Street and South Street. The sidewalk on the south side of School Street between Spring Street and Pleasant Street was badly damaged. School Street was widened ten feet from the prop- erty of Mr. Semple to Highland Avenue and sealed, and a shoulder has been installed to prevent any further damage. Many of the other streets in town required additional patch- ing. Temporary repairs were made to Rhodes Street, Hawkins Street and Fuller Street.
Spring Street, Potter Avenue, Warren Street, Peck Road, High Street, Green Street, School Street, Hillside Road, Miri- michi Street were sealed and sanded.
Maple Street, Broad Street and East Bacon Street from Route 1A to Route 1 received a stone treatment.
Mathurin Road, Cooney Avenue and 1,100 feet of Miri- michi Street, were penetrated and sealed.
A drainage system containing 450 feet of pipe and 5 basins were installed on East Bacon Street at the George Street intersection.
Under a joint Chapter 81 and town appropriation, the Pleasant Street drainage job was started. Four basins were installed, and 600 feet of 18" concrete pipe was laid. It is recommended that this drainage continue to the intersection of Pleasant Street and Lincoln Avenue this year, and that future drainage be installed on Lincoln Avenue in an easterly direction to tie in with existing drainage at the corner of Grove Street.
137
ANNUAL REPORT
The following sidewalks were completed: South Street from Paulus' Gas Station northerly to Shopping Center, a distance of 100 feet. The State Department of Public Works installed the curbing and the town installed 500 feet of side- walk on the easterly side of South Street between Broad Street and Maple Street. About 400 feet of sidewalks on the easterly side of South Street between East Bacon Street and Ivor Avenue was surfaced, which eliminated many haz- ardous conditions in the old cement sidewalk. A section of the South Street sidewalk in front of the Plainville Stock Company was repaired and black topped. On West Bacon Street about 700 feet of sidewalk from South Street, westerly, to the Whiting & Davis Company parking lot. The base for a sidewalk on School Street between Spring Street and Pleas- ant Street was installed, but cold weather interfered with the laying of the black top. This accounts for the unexpended balance in the sidewalk account. We urgently ask for a con- tinuation of the sidewalk project this coming year.
A large section of the old Cemetery on West Bacon Street was rota-tilled, limed and seeded and presents a much better appearance. A small section remains to be completed.
The area in front of the new Elementary School received about 2,600 yards of fill and subsoil. About 600 yards of this fill came from the Pleasant Street drainage job, and the balance from the town gravel pit. We have a huge pile of loam, about 600 yards, which will be spread and seeded this coming year.
The maintenance of the Town Dump on Cowell Street demanded quite a bit of attention this past year.
In submitting this report, I wish to thank your Board and members of this Department for the cooperation shown dur- ing the year 1955.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT W. SKINNER,
Superintendent of Streets

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
This has been a busy year for the Board of Selectmen, with problems created by the growth of the Town. We believe, however, that demanding larger lots with a minimum of 125' frontage, and 15,000 square feet will be for the best interest of the town.
The Town Highway Garage has been held up temporarily, due to a technicality in the vote of the Park property being used for such purpose. This will require an act of Legis- lature, and the matter is being taken care of by Representative Edna B. Telford.
The Selectmen and Police Chief Elmer C. Pease com- bined their efforts in purchasing a Police Cruiser, emergency equipment, and two-way radio, as voted by the townspeople. We feel that this new equipment has added greatly to the efficiency of the Department.
The coordination of Flood Control agencies proved diffi- cult for a while, as the responsibilities became State, Federal and Town. All reimbursements were subject to audit, and inspection of all work to be done was required before any action could be taken. We recently received word that our projects had been approved, and would be done with town labor. Upon completion, the State Flood Control Board would reimburse the town $6,900.
Roads in the three major projects have not as yet been accepted by this Board, as we are not satisfied with some existing conditions. The developers have agreed to remedy these situations as soon as weather permits.
Building permits totaling approximately $700,000 were issued since April 1st. This source of information has been very valuable to many of our town departments.
We feel that certain repairs are needed for the Town Office building, which includes repair of the roof and painting the shingles.
The Board has considered widening the Cooney Avenue bridge in the near future.
