REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1914.
I found most of the roads in better condition last spring than the two years previous, as last winter was not so bad for the roads, but some of the back roads where there was heavy teaming were badly rutted and cut up, and needed a lot of crushed stone to put them in good condition. I have used about 1,300 loads of gravel in different parts of the town, and 30 carloads of crushed stone from the Waltham Trap Rock Co., beside what stone we had at the crusher and about town.
I have built about 600 feet of plank fence during the year and there are a number of places in town which will have to have new fences built the coming year.
There has been paid out during the year for
Hay, grain, straw, coal, etc., approximately, $1,320 00
Stone and gravel, 1,275 00
Tarvia and oil, 1,820 00
Supplies, including horses, etc., 2,350 00
Rent, 150 00
Express, freight, doctor's bills, 100 00
Superintendent's salary, snow work, labor, etc. 5,075 00
Repairs on carts, harnesses, shoeing horses, 300 00
Total, $12,390 00
The sum-total of what has been paid into the Town Treasury and what is still due, for labor, materials, etc., is approximately, 550 00
Amount expended on highways, $11,840 00
80
The following is a list of places where the money has been expended in
Building Gravel Roads:
Tower Road,
1,100 Feet.
Taylor Road,
1,000

Turnpike,
1,800

Concord Road,
1,600
Turnpike,
1,200
Road near T. J. Dee's,
1,100 66
Winter Street,
900
and 700 feet of tarvia macadam, 15 feet wide on South Great Road, also teaming stone for filling up ruts and soft places all over town, scraping roads, cleaning out gutters, putting in culverts, drain-pipe, etc.
We have on hand about 700 tons of crushed stone for spring use in different parts of the town. About 200 tons of this stone was purchased from the Waltham Trap Rock Co., to be paid for the coming year.
The carts and tools are in about the same condition as last year. I had to buy one set of double harness this year. Now we have three good sets of double harness, one single cart harness and one single express harness. We have bought five new horses this year
81
and sold two, and one had to be killed. We now have three good double teams - all good young horses except one which is getting old and will have to be exchanged before long.
Last spring there seemed to be a determination to lower the appropriation for the highways. It seems to me that if we are to keep our roads in as good or better shape, we shall have to expend nearly twelve thousands dollars each year. The South Road from the Weston line to Concord should have a tarvia surface all the way. It is almost impossible to keep the holes filled up on a gravel surface where there is so much automobile travel. If we appropriate the sum of twelve thousand dollars each year and after doing the necessary work, build a short piece of tarvia macadam road, we shall have some roads that will stand the traffic.
There seem to be more calls for oil in parts of the town where we have not done any oiling. If we extend the oiling, it will require more oil each year which takes money.
Yours respectfully, WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.
