REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The year 1959 was another busy year for the Highway Department. Due to the heavy frost a great deal of patching, graveling and surface treatment had to be done to maintain the roads. June, July and August were very wet months this year and this therefore hindered our surface treatment schedule. Catch basins were cleaned and minor drainage problems were taken care of satisfactorily.
The following streets were surface treated with one-quarter gallon per square yard of R. C. 2 asphalt with a sand cover; Warren Street, a distance of 5,200 feet; Fales Road, a distance of 1,056 feet; High Street from Hancock Street to Hawkins Street, a distance of 8,000 feet; Rhodes Street from High Street to Bow Street, a distance of 3,000 feet; Green Street, a distance of 750 feet; Lynn Avenue, 530 feet; Wade Road, 530 feet; Robbin Street, 581 feet; Fletcher Street, a distance of 2,640 feet; Riley Street, 500 feet; Walnut Street from High Street easterly, a distance of 6,200 feet; Grove Street, 2,700 feet; Hillside Road from Branch Avenue northerly a distance of 1,320 feet; Bartlett Road, 1,100 feet; Peterson Road, 780 feet; Mirimichi Street, from Taunton Street easterly, a distance of 4,118 feet; George Street from Route 1 to School Street, a distance of 2,100 feet and School Street from South Street to Pleasant Street, a distance of 950 feet.
Under Chapter 90 Maintenance last year's side drain on the northerly side of Route 106 hill was extended a distance of 130 feet. This consisted of 130 feet of twelve inch A. C. C. M. perforated pipe and one catch basin. Messenger Street from Taunton Street to the Foxboro Town Line was re- shaped in sections and then surface treated. The first section from Taunton Street, a distance of 3,300 feet was surface treated with one-quarter gallon per square yard of R. C. 5 asphalt with a crushed stone cover.
The second section, a distance of 3,000 feet was treated with one-quarter gallon per square yard of R. C. 2 asphalt with a sand cover.
Under Chapter 90 Construction on George Street, the seal coat of asphalt on the last section was applied and the shoulder graveling and grading work completed. Also one catch basin and one man hole and 120 ft. of ten inch C. C.

pipe installed at the intersection of George Street and James Street. This completes the project from Messenger Street to Route 1.
Under Chapter 90 Construction on Taunton Street; due to the Depart- ment of Public Works not getting the job set-up until November, we were unable to accomplish much on this project this year, but will start early next spring.
We will ask for more money at the March Town Meeting to continue this project.
The drainage program consisted of building a large drain field off Harvard Street. A hole forty feet by sixty feet and twelve feet deep was dug out and filled with stones, and three man holes were installed for clean-outs. To date the drain field has worked out very well.
A smaller drain field was also installed at the end of Walter Street, several other catch basins were lowered and one new catch basin installed on Laurel Avenue.
There will be an article in the Warrant for Town Meeting calling for another appropriation to continue the drainage program in 1960.
Under the sidewalk program, 450 feet of Class I bituminous concrete walk was installed on School Street. Also, one inch of bituminous concrete was applied on a section of East Bacon Street sidewalk, a distance of 350 feet, where the old walk was broken up. We will again ask for an appropria- tion to continue this sidewalk program.
The wooden bridge on Mirimichi Street had to be replaced this past year.
The Old Cemetery on West Bacon Street was mowed and cleaned up during the summer months.
The Town Dump required a great deal of attention this past year. A REMINDER: when dump is cleaned off, please dump over the embankment.
It has been a pleasure to work for and with the other department heads during the year.
This year the Department is asking for an appropriation to replace their 1951 truck. This truck has over 90,000 miles and will require a great deal of repair if it is not traded this year.
