HIGHWAYS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Selectmen :
Work on the highways was begun according to the usual custom, by scraping the gutters as soon as the ground would permit in the spring. After which, graveling and other repairs were done on the various streets as follows: Warren street, 151 loads gravel, 11 loads stone dust; Main street, 127 loads gravel on sidewalk, 18 loads stone dust, and oiled the street; South Main street, 1,388 loads gravel, repaired bridge near Chas. Young's; Pond street, 95 loads ashes, 50 loads gravel; North Main street, 2,700 feet stone crushed road; blowed large rocks and removed same; Chestnut street, blowed and removed large rock; North street, 159 loads gravel, made new catch-basin; Cottage street, 150 loads gravel; Mill street, 27 loads gravel on sidewalk; Liberty street, 36 loads gravel, removed large stones:

SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Allen street, 77 loads gravel, 6 loads stone; Union street, 14 loads gravel; Maple street, 22 loads gravel; West street, 250 loads gravel, repaired bridge; Wales avenue, 16 loads gravel; Silver street, 24 loads gravel; Vine street, 24 loads gravel; Oak street, 114 loads gravel.
We had to repair the scales and have a new frame and plat- form for the same, and new jaws for the crusher plant. The crusher plant is now in first-class order. Building new fences and repairs on others was quite an expense, cleaned all catch- basins. Mowed the grass and cut the bushes on all streets that needed. Bought new and repaired old snow plows. Crushed 682 200-2,000 tons of stone. Would recommend that there be raised the money to pay the snow bills of 1909 and 1910 as the snow bills are quite large this year.
JAMES E. BLANCHE,
Superintendent of Streets.
TREE WARDEN
Would recommend that there be raised for Gipsy and brown- tail moth $800.00 as ordered by the state, also $500.00 for tree warden work.
JAMES E. BLANCHE,
Tree Warden.
