SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS.
HAYWARD STREET EXTENSION, $100.00.
This appropriation was expended for the land damage, so. we were left with nothing, but we have made quite a fair job out of oar regular appropriation. I have put on this job 280 loads of filling and built a culvert so as to allow the use of the street. However I do not consider it safe for travel, so I have- had the street marked unsafe for our own protection.
WATER STREET, $2,000.00.
1,200 feet new work, 5 inch trap rock beginning at Main street to South High street with special attention to drainage which necessitated nine manholes, 700 feet 8 inch pipe and 50 feet 10 inch pipe. From South High street to Lee street was rebuilt and made what I consider a fair job.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
For the present year I would recommend $20,000 for. streets and $5,000 for sidewalks, as the increase of labor and material and the condition of the following streets should get. the earliest possible attention :- Pond street, North Bow street, Spruce street, Walnut street, Grove street, Forest. street and Central street re-surfaced. I consider these in very. bad condition.
Thanking the voters for the confidence placed in me, and the Town Clerk and Honorable Board of Selectmen for their many courtesies, and the hearty co-operation of my workmen, I am
