HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :-
Gentlemen : I herewith submit my report as per vote of the town, March 6, 1908, Article 2.
As early in the year as conditions warranted, the outside roads were given attention. The road machines were used in grading and for opening gutters. The outlets to water- ways were cleaned and opened. The outlets and gutters were again cleaned in the fall.
The streets in the centre of the town were cleaned when necessary and repaired with crushed stone, cinders or gravel.
All catch-basins were thoroughly cleaned four times dur-
.
35
ing the year. During each storm they were taken care of and as the result of this work no serious washouts have oc- curred.
As there were only five double teams at work on our highway department, it was necessary to hire one or two ex- tra teams during August, September and October. However, there was a larger amount of work very satisfactorily done. Three thousand five hundred and forty-two tons of crushed stone, one thousand five hundred and twenty-three loads of gravel and sand, and seven hundred and forty-eight loads of cinders were used on the streets and sidewalks.
The new crusher was put to use August 17. As a result the work on Main street was accomplished much more cheap- ly than could have been done by any other method.
Sidewalks of gravel or cinders were built or repaired on the following streets :
Cedar street, east side from new cemetery to Pine Grove cemetery ; west side from Pine Grove cemetery to Dilla street.
Short street, both sides.
Grant street, west side.
East Main street, west side.
Mt. Pleasant street, north side from B. & A. R. R. to Main street.
Pleasant street, north side from Congress to end of street. Main street, east side at Basin.
Winter street, east side.
West Spruce street, north side from Congress to Gibbon avenue.
Bancroft avenue, Leonard, Otis, Pine, Grove, Water Sumner, Glines avenue, Thayer, Chestnut, Orchard, Emmons, Middleton, Franklin, and Goodrich court.
Four thousand seventy-seven feet of curbing was set on the following sidewalks :
Cedar street,

Eight inches of crushed stone was put on in three courses and each layer rolled. Two thousand four hundred and forty-five tons of crushed stone was used re-sur- facing this street, which is now in good condition. The total cost is divided as follows .:-

Respectfully submitted,
MAURICE E. NELLIGAN, Superintendent of Streets.
Your board of selectmen beg leave to submit the follow- ing yearly report of their doings, together with recommendas tions.
TOWN WAYS.
Although a much larger amount of money was expended in the highway department than for several years past, a great deal was accomplished during the past year. Three pairs of horses were purchased at a cost of $1660. A modern crush- ing plant, consisting of crusher, elevator screen and bins was purchased at a cost of $1375. In procuring material for the crusher your board entered into a contract with Mr. C. H. Metcalf for the material and preparing the same, at a great saving of money for the town.
SIDEWALKS.
We would recommend a larger appropriation for our side- walks, the first attention being given to keeping those we have in thorough repair, and the balance of the money to be expended on new work which is much needed. We also re- commend the placing of granite curbing on all new walks of concrete and gravel construction.
STATE HIGHWAY.
Early in the year your board visited the state highway commission in relation to the further continuance of the state highway built by the state in the Braggville district, and were
46
favored by an allotment of $6000 for the construction of five- sixths of a mile, from the Holliston line to a point near the quarries; the work on same to be started this spring.
