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, showing the amounts expended on different streets and sidewalks.
I also take this opportunity to thank the Board and citizens of the town for their kindness shown me this past season.
I desire to say that the high price paid for teams this year made road building more expensive than in previous years.
MAIN STREET REBUILT.
The section of Main street that was rebuilt this season was in bad condition. It is safe to say that at present it is the best, for the reason that there was better material to build it with. The street was excavated fifteen inches deep, and a foundation of stone chips placed in the bottom about 10 inches in thickness. This foundation was rolled with steam roller, 6 inches of trap rock was placed on this founda- tion; the street was rolled again until it, formed a solid compact surface. Material used: For binder 150 barrels tar and 150 barrels pitch; 613 tons trap rock; 378 loads stone chips; 169 loads screened gravel; 155 feet of curbing raised. Length, 1199 feet; width, 32 feet. Cost . $2,473 41
WEST STREET REBUILT.
This street was one of the poorest streets in town and the hardest to rebuild as every time it rained it washed deep gutters in the street and made it unsafe for travel. There were several
50
-stone.drains in the street but they failed to take proper care of the surface water. All those drains were removed and the road graded with gravel. Beginning at Highland street, trap rock was spread on 20 feet wide to Lee street, and from Lee street to where street finished, 28 feet wide. The following material was used: 926 feet 10-inch tile; 85 feet 8-inch tile; 1148 loads gravel; 536 tons trap rock; 24 bags cement; 105 barrels tir; 30 .. barrels tar binder; 125 barrels pitch; 685 yards gutter cob- bled; 1049 feet edge stone for sidewalk. Length of street repaired, 1975 feet. Cost . $4,000 00
CHURCH STREET.
This street was very wet, muddy, uneven and full of holes. It was plowed with roller, leveled and depressions filled ... The following material was used: 343 tons crushed stone, $274.40; 46 barrels tar, $103.50; 40 barrels pitch, $90.00; sand, roller, labor and teams, $568.75. Length of street, 1000 feet; width, 21} feet. Total-cost $1,036 65
BAKER SLIP.
This slip never was in good condition until this season. Every heavy rain washed it badly and filled the cellars in the vicinity with water. Material used to rebuild street: Fifty-four loads of stone chips ; 50 tons trap rock; four loads screened gravel; 11 barrels tar ; 11 bar- rels pitch ; 24 loads sand. Built catch-basin, connected with Central street drain. Width, 20 feet; length, 264 feet. Cost ·

rock, 10 barrels tar; 10 barrels pitch; 12 loads cinders. Built one catch-basin. Length of street, 253 feet; width, 19 feet. Cost $354 75
WEST WALNUT STREET EXTENSION. Built stone culvert the width of street. This cul- vert is four feet deep and five feet wide, cov- ered with stone; no danger of its ever break- ing through; also the bottom of culvert is paved with cobble stone. Over 400 tons of stone that was dumped in the road was leveled and used for filling ; 300 loads of dirt and oth- er material used. It is unsafe and cannot be used for travel. Amount expended
