Road Commissioners' Report
Palmer, Mass., January 10, 1922 To the Voters of the Town of Palmer :
The Board of Road Commissioners herewith submits its second annual report,
The organization of the Board remained unchanged, namely, Thomas J. Moran, Chairman and Charles A. Ta- bor, Clerk. Sherman M. Stebbins was reappointed Super- intendent of Streets.
North Main Street This improvement was completed Palmer by the Contractors early in the summer of 1921. The total cost was $57,268.49 and the State has reimbursed the Town for its share of the expense.
High Street This street has been gravelled for a dis- Bondsville tance of 1300 feet at a cost of $628.18. $500.00 was appropriated for this work and the balance, $128.18 was taken from the General Highway appropriation. The gravel ws taken from the bank owned by the Boston Duck Company and no charge was made for same.
Four Corners About 3280 feet of this road has been To Burleigh's gravelled at a cost of $976.30. About 2100 feet remain to be improved and we recommend that this be done the coming year.
Pleasant Street One thousand three hundred and seven- Thorndike ty feet of this street have been gravel- led, 13 feet wide at a cost of $470.53.
53
Main and State Streets, Bondsville The corner at the intersection of these streets in front of St. Bar- tholomew's Church covering an area of 695 square yards has been macadamized with a field rock base at a cost of $1,581.54; 100.9 tons of trap rock and 1760 gallons of Tarvia were used.
Two thousand two hundred and ninety-seven square yard of resurfacing has been done on Main Street at an expense of $1,691.85; 74.73 tons of trap rock and 3200 gallons of Tarvia were used.
Bridge Street The work on this street commenced sev-
Three Rivers eral years ago has been completed at a cost of $4,443.96; 2,306 square yards of surface was macadamized; 134.3 tons of trap rock and 5280 gallons of Tarvia were used. A cement concrete walk has been put in on the west side of the street and from the bridge to the Boston and Albany Railroad tracks on the east side.
The abuttors' share of the cost of this walk is $1,069.30.
Gravel Roads Early in the season your board took up the repair of the Gravel roads built in 1913 with the Engineer of the State Highway Commis- sion. Acting upon his advice it was decided to resurface with trap rock and oil the section between Four Corners and the Ice House at Bondsville, a distance of about 8100 feet. This treatment is practically identical with the strip built in 1913 from Shearers' Corner to the Wire Mill School House and which has remained in good condition during the eight years past with very little repair. The road bed was first trued up with gravel, then spread with about 100 pounds of 114 trap rock per squaree yard rolled smooth and sprayed with about 1/2 gallon per square yard 85% Aphalt Oil Binder ; 711.45 tons of trap rock and 8834 gallons of Binder were used. A base of field rock was put in under the section between Moynahan's Corner and
54
the intersection of South High Street, made necessary by the character of the soil.
;
The cost of this work was $8,244.22 or approximately $5,374.32 per mile. One thousand two hundred ninety-one dollars and twenty-one cents was expended on the section from Thorndike to Three Rivers. We feel that the Four Corners-Bondsville strip speaks for itself and we recom- mend the same treatment for the strip from Three Rivers to the Wire Mill School in Palmer and from Thorndike to Three Rivers.
Bridges The Palmer half of the Mansfield or Old Sanctu- ary bridge has been rebuilt at an expense of $197.52. The State Avenue bridge across the Quaboag River at Palmer has been repaired at a cost of $354.42, the Town having been reimbursed for one half of this ex- pense by the Town of Monson. Although the wood work of this bridge has been repaired and is now in good condi- tion, the strength of this bridge is questionable, as re- ported by Mr. Snow after his examination last year. Two hundred seventy-nine dollars and eighteen cents has been expended on the canal bridge in Bondsville and $116.40 on the canal bridges in Thorndike. One hundred fifteen dollars and eighty-eight cents was expended in resurfac- ing the roadway of the Main Street bridge in Three Riv- ers. The bridge at Whipple's Crossing been replanked at an expense of $199.62.
Blodgtt Bridge On the 15th of June the County Com- missioners held a public hearing upon the discontinuance of this bridge and a portion of the Old Boston Road leading thereto, upon the joint petition of the Selectmen of Palmer and Brimfield. In September the Commissioners decreed that so much of the highway as lay between the banks of the Quaboag River at this point, o1 in other words the bridge, should be discontinued.
55
Blodgett Bridge On the 15th of June the County Com- missioners held a public hearing upon this bridge, providing the Blodgett Bridge should be dis- continued by the County Commissioners. Six hundred ninety-nine dollars and thirty-one cents has been ex- pended and the approach materially improved by cutting down the grade at the top of the hill and filling in the hol- low. Still further improvement can be made at small ex- pense and we recommend an additional appropriation of $400.
Fay Bridge We have been unable to get any action from the Town of Monson in any way and no- thing has been done in regard to this bridge, which leaves the condition the same as it was last year.
We believe that this bridge is in an unsafe condition and that a new bridge should be built as soon as possible and the location of the bridge changed. We recommend that the County Commissioners be petitioned for a reloca- tion of this bridge and such portion of the approach to it, if any, as may be necessary. We also recommend that a pemanent road be built from the end of the macadam road on South Main Street to the bridge.
The extension of the Main Street
Sewers and Culverts sewer in Bondsville from Spring Street to Maple Street and the East Main Street sewer in Three Rivers, begun in 1920, have been completed at a cost of $324.03 and $337.39 re- spectively.
One hundred and fifty feet of the Foundry Street brick sewer in Palmer has been reconstructed with 24 inch Metal Culvert at a cost of $430.94.
Four Sewer extensions have been made, one in Hol- brook Street of 22 feet, one in Bourne Street, Three Rivers of 32 feet, one in Center Street, Bondsville of 67 feet and one at Tennyville of 257 feet. These four ex-
56
tensions cost $467.79. Plans of all the Town sewers have been made and are on file in the Commissioners' Office. These plans are of great assistance to the Commissioners.
Twenty-nine permits for sewer connections have been granted during the year, 14 to enter the new Three Riv- ers-Four Corner sewer and 15 others.
A census has been taken of all property on streets having possible sewer connections, showing that there are the following number of houses not now connected to the sewers :
Palmer 35
Thorndike 25
Bondsville 22
Three Rivers 22 A total of 104
A plan for this sewer was
Converse Street Sewer prepared and the right-of-way taken up with the owner of the property through which it would pass. As the price named for this right-of-way, namely $500, was deemed excessive by this Board, nothing further has been done.
Bids were asked for the construc- Three Rivers- tion of this sewer immediately af- Four Corners Sewer ter the special Town Meeting of October 24, 1921 authorizing the work. Eleven bids were received and the contract was awarded to Crowley Brothers of Fitchburg, Mass. The Town furnished the pipe. The work was done in conjunc- tion with the laying of water pipes for the Three Rivers Fire District but under separate contract. By thus com- bining we believe a material saving for both Town and Fire District was obtained. The sewer is 12 inches in diameter and 2050 feet long and has seven man-holes. The appropriation was $5,500. The amount paid to date is $3,538.34; $356.17 is still due the contarctor, payable March 1, 1922. The was undertaken so late in the year
57
that some of the grading cannot be done until spring. We recommend that the unexpended balance of this appropri- ation be re-appropriated.
A cement curb and cinder walk 926
Walks and Curbing feet in length, has been built on the westerly side of High Street in the Village of Bondsville beginning at Griffin Street, at a cost of $1,346.91. The abuttors' share of this expense is $463.00.
The cement walk in East Main Street, Three Rivers, from the end of the walk constructed in 1920 to the cor- ner of Main and Pleasant Streets, a distance of 5461/2 feet, has been completed at a cost of $988.43. The abuttors' share in this expense is $344.80.
A tar concrete walk, five feet wide and 1269 feet in length has been built in Bourne Street, Three Rivers, at a cost of $1,170.57, the abuttors' share of which is $491.24.
Seven hundred feet of 4 inch curbing has been placed in the easterly side of Main Street, Bondsville, from the Grammar School easterly at a cost of $883.28; 350 feet in the easterly side of Commercial Street, Thorndike, at a cost of $406.15 and 50 feet in front of the Strand Theatre in Palmer at a cost of $77.75.
The gravel and cinder walk on the easterly side of North Main Street, Palmer, from Shearer's Corner to the Wire Mill School has been built at a cost of $1,589.64. This includes grading and granite curbing.
We have not been able to place all of the tar walks about town in as satisfactory a condition as we would wish owing to a lack of funds. We are recommending a larger appropriation this coming year.
A Standard Winner grader has been
Road Machinery purchased from the Good Roads Ma- chinery Company for $425.00 and a small scraper from the New England Metal Culvert Com- pany for $150.00.
58
In General Of the regular Highway appropriation about 40% has been expended in maintaing the im- proved or macadam roads. One hundred and thirty barrels of Tarvia and 3121/2 tons of Trap rock have been used for patching and 17,840 gallons of Asphalt Road Oil. These roads are now in excellen condition.
North Street in Three Rivers has been repaired and gravelled at an expense of $211.57. Two hundred eighty- one dollars and eighty-five cents was expended in gravel- ling a strip of the Belchertown road north of Three Riv- ers and $225.30 in gravelling Pine Street in Palmer.
In handling the large amount of trap rock (1434 tons) and the gravel used during the year we have found trucks of great assistance. Three thousand, two hundred sixty- five dollars and seventy-five cents has been expended for this purpose representing 12571/2 hours' use. We have found a Tractor of great help also in operating the Road Scraper and have hired one from the Boston Duck Com- pany, a total of 1621/2 hours at an expense of $337.00.
Two hearings have been given by the County Com- missioners in connection with the improvement of the corner of Park and Thorndike Streets, one at the location and one at the County Commissioners' office in Spring- field. The matter is still under consideration by the Com- missioners.
The boundary lines from the intersection of Pleasant Street and East Main Street in the village of Three Rivers to the intersection of Church and Main Streets in the village of Thorndike being ill-defined and uncertain, have been relocated and bounded by the County Commissioners.
Seven granite road markers have been set in the road from Shearer's Corner to Burleigh's to property mark this section of the highway.
59
We recommend the following appropriations :
Highways,
$16,000.00
Bridges, 1,500.00
Railings, 400.00
Sewers and Culverts,
2,000.00
