HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :-
Gentlemen : I hereby submit my report as Highway Su- perintendent of the town.
The first work to be done by the department was on the outside roads. The road machines were used in grading and opening the gutters, the outlets to waterways were cleaned and opened. These 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- ing the year. During each storm they were taken care of and as a result of the work no serious washouts have occurred.
The amounts expended on different streets are as fol- lows :-

This section was plowed with steam roller and scari- fier, the old material carted off and placed on other streets. Nine inches of crushed stone was spread and rolled. Tar, pitch and sand was used for binder. The highway department has always had trouble with this section of road be- cause of washing, but I think it will remain now until worn. Every year previously it has had to be repaired four or five times.

Respectfully submitted,
MAURICE E. NELLIGAN, Superintendent of Streets.
Your board of selectmen beg leave to submit the follow- ing report of their doings, together with recommendations :-
HIGHWAYS.
With an appropriation much smaller than for several years previous, a great deal was accomplished during the year. Several streets through which the sewer has been laid have been repaired and put in good shape. A careful study of the superintendent of streets' report will show where all highway money has been expended.
During a recent visit to the State Highway Commission we were told that the town appropriates one-third less money for highways than other towns throughout the state of
44
the same valuation. It might be well to state at this time that there are 83 miles of highway in Milford, and when one stops to consider that with an appropriation of $11,000, out of which the street superintendent's salary of $1200 is to be de- ducted, less than $10,000 is available to be expended for labor and material.
We recommend a larger appropriation for the incoming year.
STATE HIGHWAY.
The board visited the State Highway Commission early in January and asked for an appropriation large enough to finish the work from where they left off in the Braggville dis- trict last fall to the corner of the Medway road. If this re- quest should be granted we would have a state road nearly all the way to Boston. It was suggested by the Commission that the town of Milford appropriate a certain amount of money each year until finished for the rebuilding of Main street from the termination of the state highway through the centre of the town, this work to be done under the supervision of the State Highway Commission.
DUST LAYING.
Acting upon the recommendation of your finance com- mittee we took up the matter of laying the dust on Main street with the Milford & Uxbridge Street Railway Company, with the result that early in July an electric street sprinkler was procured and put into commission at once. It has proved to be of good service and has been greatly appreciated by the business men and residents along the car line. It made three trips daily from the Hopedale line to Medway street, and this layed the dust much better than could be expected of the watering carts with which we were able to lay the dust on all streets adjoining Main street.
On invitation of the New England Manager of the Road Oil Department of the Standard Oil Co. the board visited Boston and had fully demonstrated to them the value of street oil as a dust layer. We rode over all streets in Boston proper on which the oil had been used, and then went over the
45
entire Park system and through all suburbs, noting its value as a dust layer, and also as a street binder. After thoroughly going over the matter we concluded to purchase a carload of it and try it on our streets, which we did with much success. We believe that it is a financial saving also to the town, all streets to which it is applicable can be covered in one week, and the men and horses used for the work can be used the re- maining three weeks of every month for other purposes, there- by saving the extra expense of hiring outside teams.
STREET LIGHTING.
This year the citizens will be called upon to authorize the making of contracts for street lighting, as the 3-year con- tract with the Globe Gas Light Co. expires on June 18, 1910, and the yearly contract with the Milford Electric Light & Power Co. expires August 20, 1910. During the past year the board has had installed on several streets Tungsten lights in place of arc lights, thereby causing a greater distribution of light practically for the same expense. We feel that they have given good satisfaction.
We recommend contracts be made for all-night lighting service.
GIPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTHIS.
The state requires that we should take steps to protect ourselves against the inroads of the gipsy and brown tail moths that have already done much damage in our town. The town is badly infested with this plague, several thousand nests having been found the past year. We recommend an appro- priation of $800 to be used for this purpose.
Respectfully submitted,
