REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Board of Selectmen :---
I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1915.
Last spring the roads were in very good condition, owing to the fact that there was hardly any mud. There were not many ruts to fill, so that we began to build crushed stone roads early in the spring. I have used about 1,200 loads of sand and gravel for covering tarvia, and building gravel roads in different parts of the town, and for widening the road near Baker Bridge. I have used 35 cars of crushed stone, purchased from the Waltham and Winchester Rock Companies, besides what stone we crushed at the town crusher. I have had 10 guide boards repainted this year, and several new ones made and put where they were needed.
The following payments have been made during the year :-
Hay, grain and straw, approximately
$1,386 00
Stone and gravel,
2,038 00
Tarvia and oil,
2,939 00
Supplies, etc.,
777 00
Rent,
150 00
Express, freight, etc.,
122 00
Steam roller,
243 00
Repairs on carts, harnesses, and shoeing horses,
376 00
Superintendent's salary, labor, and snow
work, etc., 5,419 00
$13,450 00
£
93
The sum-total of what has been paid into the Town Treasury, and what is still due for labor, material, etc., is approximately, $850 00
Amount paid for bills for stone on hand for Spring use, is approximately, 300 00
$1,150 00
Amount expended on highways for year is approximately, $12,300 00
The following is a list of places where the money has been expended :
Building Gravel Roads :
Tower Road,
1,800 Feet.
Road near C. S. Wheeler's
700 66
Old County Road
400
Cross Road near Mr. Cunnert's

500
66
Tarvia Macadam Road
Road from center of town to E. C. Wheeler's 4,500 Feet
Concord Road near E. R. Farrar's 2,000 "
(This road averages about 14 feet wide.)
94
We have scraped most of the roads in town, cleaned out the gutters, and put in culverts and drain-pipes where they were needed.
The stone crusher had to be overhauled and reset on new timbers, and a shed built to cover the machinery and belts, making the plant look more tidy than hereto- fore.
We have seven carloads of crushed stone in the south part of the town for spring use, and about 200 tons, which have been teamed from the crusher to other parts of the town, and about 400 tons in the crusher yard, that have not been crushed at the writing of this report.
The highway department is in about the same con- dition as last year. It consists of 6 horses, 4 sets of double harness, 1 single cart harness, 1 express harness, 1 express saddle, 3 double carts, 1 single cart, 1 oil wagon for spraying the streets, 1 two-horse sled, 1 one- horse sled, 2 snow plows, 1 road-scraper, 1 roller, 6 stable blankets, 6 street blankets, horse covers; and picks, shovels, etc.
In my last report, I recommended that the sum of $12,000 be appropriated each year. It seems to me that it is of little use to build gravel roads where automobile travel is very great, as the automobiles tear up the road so badly. If we build roads that will last for any length of time, we must use stone and some kind of binder to hold it. If we make the sum much less than $12,000, we cannot build much roadway that will stand the traffic of to-day. We could patch up the roads, and put on what dust-laying material is called for. There- fore, I shall recommend the sum of $12,000 for the year 1916, and earnestly request that your board recommend that sum.
Yours respectfully, WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Streets.
