HIGHWAYS.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Selectmen :
Following the usual custom, work on the highways was commenced in the early spring by the scraping of the streets and gutters, after which those portions of the streets most in need of repairs were gravelled. The hill on Canton street at the Ferguson farm was gravelled throughout its entire
· ·
11
length, 314 loads being spread thereon. North street, near the residence of John K. Willard, was gravelled, 424 loads being used. High street was repaired in various places, 394 loads of gravel being used. On Liberty street 60 loads were used; on Roel street, 40 loads; and on other streets, 33 loads.
The sidewalks throughout the town which had been neg- lected for years were gravelled, 45 loads being used on Lib- erty street, 40 loads on Silver street, 561 loads on South Main street, 62 loads on South street, 25 loads on Maple street, 75 loads on Warren street and 22 loads on West street.
On Plain street we laid 75 feet of 15-inch drain pipe ; on Warren street, 30 feet of 4-inch ; and on Roel street, 40 feet of 8-inch pipe.
New fences were erected, on Allen street 720 feet, and on West street 200 feet in length.
Changes in grade requiring cutting and fitting were made on Roel and Warren streets, the surface water on the latter, between Silver and Fowler streets, being carried westerly to the brook near the junction of West and Warren streets instead of southerly as formerly. In effecting this change, considerable cutting was done and a large amount of filling was also required in places, 510 loads of gravel being used. On Warren street, from the railroad crossing to Silver street, the entire roadway, 27 feet in width, was macadamized, the macadam when rolled measuring 7 inches in depth. One thousand tons of crushed stone were used on this street, and 25 tons of stone dust were spread on West street.
Considerable expense has been incurred during the past year by the cutting of trees and shrubbery on the various streets in the outskirts of the town which had been allowed to grow and spread until, in many places, it was impossible for two teams to pass in safety.
12
I would recommend that, as a matter of economy, they be cut down every year, which can be done at a much less ratio of expense than if they are allowed to grow to the size attained this year.
The streets on which shrubbery has been cut are High, Canton, Centre, Chestnut, Old, Pond, Orchard, Grove, Stoughton and West.
We have received from the Old Colony Street Railway Co. the sum of $563.02 for the use of the steam roller and crusher, which sum has been applied as a credit to the high- way department.
The roller and crusher are in good condition, a new set of manganese steel jaws for the crusher having been purchased during the year to replace the old cast-iron set. The crush- er-bins will need new sills during the coming year, the old sills being decayed and unsafe. New planking will also be needed on the platform of the crusher.
As in previous reports, I would recommend the purchase of an up-to-date Studebaker street sprinkler, the one in present use being both wasteful and expensive and entirely unsuited for our needs.
