REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :-
I herewith submit the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1917. Last winter was not so bad for the roads as it has been for some years previous. During the months of January, February, and the first part of March, the teams were hauling stone to different parts of the town for filling ruts, and breaking out roads when they needed it. The last part of March and the month of April was spent on filling ruts, and scraping the roads. The first part of May the roads were patched with patching material, and the last part of the month the teams were plowing and harrowing for the different farmers. The months of June and July were spent in putting out Tarvia B, covering it with sand, doing some patching, etc. The first part of August we worked making gravel roads near the Merrill Hunt place and on the Old County Road. The last of the month we worked on the Turnpike. During the month of September I built about 2,000 feet of Tarvia macadam road, about 12 feet wide, near the house of Winslow Eaton, on the Waltham Road, and worked the rest of the month on the Turnpike. Also the months of October and November were spent widening, grading and blasting out ledge on the Turnpike, for which the State paid one-half the cost. The first part of December we patched the roads again where they needed it, built some new fence side of the road where it was dangerous, and repaired some of the old fence. The last of the month the teams have been hauling sand for next year's use.
I have used the past year about 1,400 loads of sand and gravel, 30 carloads of crushed stone, besides what stone we had at the crusher. Most of this stone was used for
1
79
filling ruts and holes in the road. I also used for dust laying, etc., over 40,000 gallons of Tarvia and 6,000 gal- lons of oil.
The following payments have been made during the year :-
Hay, Grain, Straw, etc., approximately, ..
$1,540.00
Stone, Gravel, Sand,
1,200.00
Tarvia and Oil, 3,358.00

..
192.00
Superintendent's Salary :
Labor, Snow Work, etc.
5,760.00
Total, $13,502.00
The sum total of which has been paid into the Town Treasury, and what is still due for labor, material, etc., is approxi- mately 1,904.00
Amount expended for the year, $11,598.00
I have no list of where the money has been expended other than what is given in the first part of this report, except to say that I have put in several culvert pipes, scraped most of the roads and cleaned out the gutters. I have no crushed stone on hand for next year, and but a few hundred tons of stone at the crusher to be crushed.
The Highway Department is in about the same condition as last year, except there has been added one two-horse sled and one platform wagon. I shall have to recommend not less than $12,000 for the highways for next year, as
80
the prices of all kinds of road material and grain have ad- vanced, and it will be hard to keep the expenditure down to that amount.
I have had several new sign boards painted and put up in places where they were needed, and there are some more that will have to be repainted the coming year, but the guide boards as a whole are in fairly good condition.
