I hereby submit my report as Highway Surveyor of the Town of Milford. Elected to and taking charge of the de- partment March 3, 1925, and having as a balance on hand the expenditure of about $39,000 of the general appropriation on highways to be expended from March 3 to December 31, 1925.
STREETS REBUILT WITH TRAP ROCK, TARVIA OR ASPHALT.
The following streets received from 3 to 6 inches of trap rock and were penetrated and sealed with either tarvia or asphalt, widened and drained, and should give excellent ser- vice for years to come. 1500 ton trap rock, 13,150 gals. asphalt, 7350 gals. tarvia X, 150 yds. sand, 4 culverts with ba- sin, 100 ft. 12-inch pipe, and 400 yds. sub-grade material :-
Cedar St. section at Catholic cemetery, 750 ft. in length and 21 ft. wide.
Clark St. Entire street rebuilt, 243 ft. long, 10 ft. wide.
Claflin St. section near Franklin, 150 ft long and 20 ft. wide.
Fayette St. Entire street rebuilt, 780 ft. long, 18 ft. wide
Franklin St. section between Grove and Claflin, 300 ft. in length and 21 ft. wide.
Grove St. section between Franklin and Forest, 1100 ft in length and 21 ft. wide.
Prentice Ave. Entire street, 416 ft. in length, 18 ft. wide.
State St. Entire street, 446 ft. in length, 21 ft. wide.
7200 gals of tarvia was used to resurface the following
52
streets: Grant. Jefferson, Court, Main, Spruce, Walnut, Supple Square and part of East Main.
The following material was applied to the various gravel roads: 2546 yds. of gravel, 684 tons stones and 3329 yds. of cinders.
Madden Ave. and Whitney street were special appropri- ations and required considerable filling and excavating, also received 556 yds. of cinders, 850 yds. gravel and 2.0 ton cobble stones.
No. Bow and Congress streets were widened and resur- faced in sections, requiring 1300 gals. tarvia and asphalt and 250 ton of stone and sand.
714 yds. of stone and cold patch were used to keep the various macadam streets in condition.
16,000 gals. of road oil was applied to the various gravel or cinder streets.
2500 ft. of both open and covered drains and culvertsl were cleaned, also 18 new catch basins, 1365 ft. of 10 inch pipe, 136 ft of Iz-inch pipe and 100 ft of 8-inch pipe were placed to construct new and repair old drains on the following streets: Cook, Cedar, Church, Congress, Grove, Grant, Me- chanic, Purchase, West Spruce, West Walnut, Winter, West, Highland and Pond streets.
Road scraping, gutier cleaning, brush cutting, cleaning basins, painting and repairing signs and fences is a large item and requires considerable labor, and is quite an expense on the department.
BRIDGES.
Over 6000 ft. of 3-inch chestnut planking and many heavy stringers were used on the bridges. We were required to rebuild the Wood and Vernon Grove cemetery which are large ones, and repair most every other wooden bridge in town. I recon mend that there should be at least one of these wooden bridges replaced with cement each year.
