Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
I think that I am safe in making the statement that the highway department has been able to make a better showing in the nature of more permanent improvements on our high- ways and streets the past year than they have ever been able to show in the same length of time before. This was due in part to the purchase in the early spring of two of the improved Champion road machines. With these machines the division superintendents have been able, at a comparatively small cost, when you take into account the amount and nature of the work performed, to place a large number of our highways in a much better condition than ever before. We shall be able with these machines, if this policy be continued, to place all of our country roads, even if the material is not the best, in such condition that the annual repairs to the same will not be large. If you can keep the water out of your roadbed you will have a
39
ANNUAL REPORT.
fairly good road most of the year. With six horses attached to one of the machines you are able to cut and bring the ma- terial from the side of the road into the centre, and at the same time you make the roadway wider. Crown the road and open the gutter, removing the shoulders, will allow the water to pass off ; then, if advisable, you can put on a light coat of gravel, leaving your road in first-class condition. You are able to build a piece of road with one of these machines for $100, while you could not obtain the same results by carting gravel for four times the amount expended. When you have your roads well crowned, all shoulders removed, and a chance for the water to pass off, you can, at a light expense, give your roads a light coat of gravel at a small cost.
Mr. Hugh A. Smith, of Hebronville, as .division superin- intendent, has had charge of the following streets, which is designated as the south district: Taunton avenue, Thurber avenue, South Main street, from Thacher street to the Seekonk line; County street, from Thacher street to the Pawtucket line ; Thacher street, from South Main to the railroad bridge ; Read street, from Hebronvllle to the bridge at South Attle- borough; Locust street and Tiffany street, from South Main to County street, in all about seventeen miles of road. There has not been a very large amount expended by Mr. Smith the past year, as he was able with one of the new road machines to accomplish good results on South Main, County and Read streets with comparatively a small outlay. Mr. Smith has ex- pended the past year for snow $203.49 ; for repairs, $694.16; total, $897.65. Mr. Smith has, in addition to the machine- work performed, removed some 500 load from the streets, and about 600 loads of gravel for top dressing.
The southwest district, which comprises all of the roads. north of County street and west and north of the pumping: station, has been in charge of George W. Allen, of South! Attleborough, as division superintendent. Length of roads in
.

ANNUAL REPORT.
this district about thirteen miles. The work in this district is badly handicapped by the lack of good road material, and what little there is of this has to be carted a long distance, so that road repairing is expensive, let alone road building, but by the use of one of the new road machines in opening the gutters and rounding up the road Mr. Allen has, with the aid of some 2,000 loads of gravel used for surfacing roads, as above treated, been enabled to put the highways of his district in a very satisfactory condition. Amount expended for snow, $144; for repairs on highways, $1,049.28; total amount ex- pended for the year, $1,193.28.
The west district comprised of West street, from North Main to the pumping station; Tiffany street from County to West; Clifton street, Deantown road, North avenue, Me- chanic street, from West to Dennis; Dennis street, County street, from Dennis to Thacher ; Thacher street from West street to Railroad bridge; North Main from Blackinton bridge to the N. Attleborough line ; Commonwealth avenue, and Holden street from North Main to Bank street, in all about fourteen miles of road, has been in charge of Walter L. Manchester as division superintendent. Mr. Manchester has, without ques- tion, accomplished most satisfactory results in his district the past year. West street has been worked the entire length- that is, from the Farmers to the pumping station, Mechanic street from West to Dennis street, a part of County, North Main and Holden streets. A large part of this work was accomplished by the use of the road machine at an expense of not more than one-third of what it would have cost if the old method of road building had been attempted. The amount ex- pended in this district has been : For snow. $86.65; for re- pairs to highways, $990.06; total expended, $1,073.72. Number of loads removed from highways, 1,100; gravel used for surfacing, 1,350 loads.
The north division, which comprises all of the streets of
41
ANNUAL REPORT.
this village; Pleasant street, and all roads leading from it; Park street to Briggs Corner, and all roads leading from it, and all roads to the east of it; South Main street to Thacher street, and Maple street. This district embraces about twenty- five miles of roads and nine miles of streets. In this district we have a permanent force of men and teams, and the work, therefore, is continuous. The work in this district has been carried on most of the time under the personal supervision of the superintendent of streets, who has had for assistance in the highway work C. S. Cummings, who served from January 1 to April 1, and Geo. H. Mosher, who served from April 1 to about November 1, when he had to relinquish his work on account of sickness. Since that time work has progressed without any assistant. In the first part of the year the teams were employed in carting gravel on to Maple and Bishop streets, and some five hundred loads was used in widening the roadway at a dangerous point on the road leading from Pike avenne to Norton, in carting stone to the crusher, and in the removal of snow, later in the year, all of the roads east of Park street and south of the Taunton branch railroad were given a thorough overhauling with the road machine, six horses being used for the purpose, after which, in places that required it, a light coat of gravel was applied. This work was also extended to most of the outside roads, and occupied a large part of the time until July. About this time Maple street, which was one of our worst streets, in some places all sand, in others cobble stone, was surveyed and stakes set at grade. The sand was removed to the depth of twelve inches below grade, and used on sidewalks and in filling adjoining streets, when a large amount of small stone were put on and bedded into the sand, after which about eight inches of good road material, taken from streets and land owned by Major E. S. Horton, and which he contributed free of charge, was applied, leaving the street, as far as constructed, in first-class
42
ANNUAL REPORT.
condition. A large amount of work has been performed on County street, about 1,000 loads of gravel used, the whole street being laid down with the steam roller. North Main street, from Park street to Peck street, a distance of fourteen hundred feet, has been picked up and about ten inches in depth of material removed, 500 loads of which was used on Peck street and 300 loads on Holman, County and Hodges streets. at a cost of 8280. The street then received a serviceable coating of cracked stone. it taking 100 loads of small stone and 916 loads of crushed stone to complete this job, at a cost of $920. not counting the cost of material removed. which is given above. In addition to the above streets, good work has been performed on South Main, School, East, Parker, Dun- ham. Railroad avenue, Pine, Union, Capron, Third, Prospect and Hope streets. The amount of material handled the past year by the department has been : 600 loads removed from streets; 300 loads of small stone carted on to streets; 700 loads of stone carted to the crusher from streets and banks ; 910 loads of crushed stone to North Main street; 4,000 loads moved from street to street, and 6,000 loads of gravel carted on to streets, a total of 12,300 loads. Amount expended for labor : Snow, 8549.60, repairs and permanent work, 84,318 65, a total of 84,868 25.
We have rebuilt two bridges and replanked one the past year. Upon examination we found that the top of the Mechanic's bridge was all gone, where the old planking was removed of which there was four thickness. We found the floor timbers in fair condition, which have been retained, but have placed new timbers on top and planked with three inch plank. Have removed the old tresses and put up a new rail- ing in place, the bridge at the foot of Coombs hill has been re- built.
One of the important features of this highway work is the matter of street cleaning, which comprises the cleaning of gut-
43
ANNUAL REPORT.
ters and the ashing and repair of sidewalks; this feature of our work is bound to increase from year to year in proportion as the population and business of the town increases.
Lawrence Flanagan, one of the permanent men employed by the Fire Department, has had the immediate charge of this work. The highway department being charged with, and the Fire department receiving credit for work performed by him. Most of the year we have found it necessary to employ two other men in this work. The total amount expended for this work has been $1,063.32, of which $280.95 stands to the credit of the Fire department. The two hose horses of the Fire department have been employed in this work, one work- ing in the morning the other in the afternoon. This work does not extend outside of the half mile limit from the hose houses. All street cleaning outside of this limit is performed by the other town teams. The amount of work performed by the Street Cleaning Department has been 1,350 loads removed from the streets and gutters, 100 loads of gravel and 325 loads of ashes or cinders used for the repairs of sidewalks, a total of 1,775 loads handled.
In addition to the work enumerated above we have crushed what stone have been used the past year and now have on hand over two thousand loads of stone, crushed and all ready to use on our streets the coming year. There are no back bills to be paid, so this with what stone we have on hand, and with the appropriation for 1900 it should enable the Superin- tendent of Streets to make even a better showing the coming year than we have been able to do the past year. The High- way department have had the use of the four Fire Department horses, we paying for the hay, grain and shoeing. Two horses being employed for street cleaning, the other two for street sprinkling and such other other work inside the half mile limit that we could find for them to do. Two of the permanent men of the Fire department have been employed a part of the

time receiving for their work the same pay per hour that has been paid the highway men.
The barn and sheds have been removed from the Lock-up lot and placed on the Tinkham lot, the barn has been enlarged the sheds have received new floors and the addition of a tool room. The small building on South Main street has been moved. All of them have received a coat of paint. A good substantial fence has taken the place of the old fence on Pine street, so that now we have a first-class, well equipped high- way plant on the Tinkham lot.
We have added the past year to our highway equipment, one two-horse tip-cart and set of double harnesses ; one small dump-cart; two Champion road machines ; one stub plough ; one street plough; one street harrow.
The property of the Highway department consists of one twelve-ton steam roller, stone crusher, engine and equipments, including a Fairbank's scale, 5 1 horse tip-carts, 1 two-horse tip-cart, 13 snow ploughs, 2 new road machines, 1 old road machine, 3 water carts, 1 sewer wagon, 3 horses, 3 single and two set of double harnesses, 2 stub and 2 side ploughs, 1 small dump-cart, together with a large assortment of small tools such as picks, shovels, rakes, hoes, etc. The above, wear and tear considered, are in good, serviceable condition, with the ex- ception of the crusher, which will have soon to be overhauled, and should be this year ; this will envolve an expense of some three hundred dollars. We also have on hand 2,000 loads of crushed stone, 500 loads of good loam, a lot of brick, bound stone, etc.
Thanks are due to all who contributed from their land valuable road material, and to all others who showed favors to this department in the past year.
