Pleasant street 170 feet 3-inch chestnut plank.
Thayer street. 80 feet 3-inch chestnut plank.
Dilla street. 400 feet 3-inch chestnut plank.
Purchase street. Cemetery railing repaired.
During the year gutters and drains were cleaned, brush cut, country roads scraped, streets oiled and streets re- paired which are unmentionable. It cost $5,000 during the first three months of 1923 to clear the streets of snow and ice. A Ford one-ton truck and a road scraper which cost $1,100 were purchased by the department during the year.
I now take this opportunity to thank the board of Selectment and the citizens of Milford for their co-opera- tion during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN P. CALLERY, Highway Surveyor.
