HIGHWAYS.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Selectmen :
Work on the highways was begun according to the usual custom by scraping the streets as soon as the ground would permit in the spring. The heavy rains of the early spring months caused many serious washouts, particularly on North, Oak and Canton streets, and the cost of repairing these has been an important item in the year's expense.
In the months of January and February there was de- livered at the crusher plant about $800 worth of stone, all of which is on hand at the present time and available for use in the coming year. Owing to the demands for repairs on the streets being so numerous and so scattered in location, we were unable to do any macadamizing. Gravel was spread on the various streets during the year as follows : North street, 218 loads; Oak street, 61 loads ; North Main street, 189 loads ; South Main street, 392 loads ; Howard street, 184 loads ; Grove street, 235 loads ; Gold street, 48 loads ; Vine street, 216 loads ; Mill street, 104 loads ; Union street, 97 loads ; Alden street, 23 loads ; Cottage street, 11 loads ; Maple street, 66 loads ; Cross street, 267 loads ; West street, 252 loads ; Liberty street, 41 loads ; Allen street, 90 loads ;
12
Mount Pleasant square, 50 loads ; making a total of 2544 loads.
A considerable outlay has been made in drain pipe, the use of which has been found to give satisfaction in former years. Pipe was distributed as follows : South Main street, 200 feet of 12 inch ; Plain street, 28 feet of 20 inch; Can- ton street, 38 feet of 15 inch; North Main street, 150 feet of 12 inch ; Union street, 10 feet of 10 inch ; Old street, 25 feet of 12 inch ; Liberty street, 148 feet of 12 inch; Cross street, 210 feet of 8 inch; Vine street, 44 feet of 12 inch, and High street, 32 feet of 24 inch pipe.
A change of grade was made on South Main, Cross and Vine streets, requiring in each instance a large amount of cutting and filling. The repairs on South Main street are incomplete, owing to the winter season compelling us to stop work, but when completed the road will be in better condi- tion than ever before.
Vine street was filled in throughout the length of the swamp, two culverts being built to convey the surface water.
A considerable amount has been realized from the Old Colony Street Railway Co. and the Stoughton & Randolph Street Railway Co. for the use of our steam roller and crusher, and this amount has been applied to the highway account.
A faced wall has been built on Maple street for a distance of 150 feet, and board fences have been erected as follows : . On Maple street, 200 feet; on Vine street, 600 feet; on Liberty street, 200 feet.
The roller and crusher are in good condition.
I would recommend that, as far as possible in the future, specific appropriations be made for such work as that done on Maple, Liberty, Vine and Cross streets rather than to take the cost out of the general expense fund.
As stated in previous reports, the street sprinkler owned
13
by the town is unsatisfactory, and as a matter of economy I would recommend the purchase of an up-to-date two-horse Studebaker sprinkler.
