Respectfully submitted,
JOHN B. HENDERSON, JAMES H. REYNOLDS, JOHN H. CUNNINGHAM, Selectmen of Milford,
HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :--
Gentlemen : I hereby submit my report as Highway Superintendent of the town, showing the amount expended om different streets and sidewalks.
I also take this opportunity to thank the Board and citi~ zens of the town for their kindness shown me this past sea- son.
I desire to say that I have managed this department just the same as I would my own private affairs in an economical and business way.
I removed many large stones from different streets, which were from four to six inches above the ground, at a small cost. There is hardly a street in town that I did not make some repairs on.
MAIN STREET REBUILT.
This section of Main street that was rebuilt from Water street to the Hopedale line was, with- out a doubt, the poorest street in town, and it is now in good condition. This street was ex- cavated about 8 inches deep, 2 inches of trap rock was placed in the bottom; this was rolled with steam roller until it formed a solid, com-
pact surface. Material used : For binder 26121 gallons of tarvia ; 317 tons of 2 inch trap rock; 208 tons of 14 inch trap rock; 125g tons of 2 inch trap rock; 240} tons of ¿ inch trap rock. Built 2 large catch basins. Length of street rebuilt 3073 feet; width of street 34 feet. Total cost
$5,730 400

PARKER HILL AVENUE REBUILT.
The street was in a very bad condition. It was very uneven and full of holes. Begin- ning at West street, trap rock was spread 6 inches in thickness. This was rolled with steam roller and covered with gravel. This was wet down and rolle i again. Built 2 large catch basins. Laid 471 feet of edge stone. Laid 288 feet of cobble gutter. Material used: 8 tons of trap rosk, 70 loads of gravel; 1500 bricks; 10 bags of cement. This puts a little more than half the street in good condition. Amount expended
DANIELS STREET REBUILT.
This street was excavated about 24 inches deep, a foundation of field stone placed in the bottom about 20 inches in thickness, and cov- ered with gravel. Laid 760 feet of edge stone. This street is unfinished, as every- thing became frozen. Amount expended . $452 50
DEPOT STREET REBUILT.
This street was in a very bad condition. It was uneven, muddy and full of boles, and when it rained the water coming from Forest street would wash deep gutters in the road. This street was excavated about 12 inches deep; a foundation of field stone was placed on the bottom about 8 inches in thickness, and this was rolled with steam roller. About 4 inches of trap rock was placed on this foundation, and this was rolled until it formed a solid, compact surface. Widened street fourteen feet, beginning at N. Y., N. H. & H. railroad tracks to So. Cedar street. Built 50 feet of cobble gutter at foot of Forest street. Laid 450 feet of edge stone. Material used: 5414
