REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Andover :
GENTLEMEN : I herewith present my sixth annual report on Highways and Bridges.
Work was begun on highways April 2, on Central Street near the Episcopal Church. This was macadamized twenty- two feet in width and three hundred feet in length going east. Our next work was on School Street. This we mac- adamized from Central Street to just past Locke Street, one thousand and thirty feet in length. Ten hundred twenty- three feet have been macadamized on Union Street, beginning at the Lawrence line. This macadam was put on fourteen feet wide, the same as on the state road.
Four hundred feet of Tellford road have been built on the Old Railroad, near the pit known as the slaughter house pit. Two hundred feet of Tellford road have been built on the road leading from Frye Village to North Andover, between the houses of Mr. Mander and Richard Dodson. Four hundred feet of Tellford road have been made between Deacon Smith's
43
and the corner at Buchan's, and one hundred feet have been built west of Deacon Smith's farm, known as the Chandler farm. Also about four hundred feet of the same kind of road have been made on the Old Turnpike near the Elijah Buxton place.
The road has been repaired with gravel, beginning at. the end of the electric road, where needed between there and Frye Village. Pearson Street has been re-surfaced and the sidewalk repaired the entire length. Cuba Street has also been re-surfaced. The sidewalks have been repaired from Cuba Street up past the house of Deacon Peter Smith.
The road leading from Charles Shattuck's to Timothy Sul- livan's has been gravelled. Then going back to Lowell Street, the road has been gravelled from Horatio Barnard's nearly to the house of Isaac Carruth, and Tellford road has been built from Bellevue Grove to Haggett's Pond Depot. Slight repairs have been made in the hollow beyond the Follansbee place, and on cross roads leading past the house of Charles Moulton ; also on the road leading from Dixon's to the Osgood schoolhouse.
More than fifteen miles of road have been repaired with the road machine in different parts of the town.
The east sidewalk on Florence Street has been repaired from Park to Elm Street. The north sidewalk on Park Street has been repaired, and that on Chestnut Street, past the houses of George Higgins and Thomas Rhodes.
The streets in and about Ballardvale have been kept in good condition. A new sidewalk has been built from Mar- land Street to the house of Bancroft Haynes. This was quite expensive, as a retaining wall had to be built and railed.
New railing has been put on the Old Railroad on both sides from Harding Street to the house of Richard Dodson on the North Andover road. This, with the railing at Ballardvale, required over four hundred and fifty cedar posts and nearly three thousand feet of spruce plank.
Two manholes and grates have been put on Chestnut Street near Abraham Marland's, and two grates have been placed
44
on Brook Street. The Pond hole at the foot of Abbott Vil- lage hill has been filled up and seventy-five feet of pipe have been laid from the gutter to take the water to the river.
Concrete sidewalks have been laid on the following streets : The south side of Chestnut Street beginning at Main Street, -the south side of Central Street to the house of Mr. Torr, -- the north side of Central Street, beginning at the land owned by Mrs. Coburn, running east past the South Church to School Street,- the north side of Essex Street from Hardy & Cole's lumber yard, running east to Main Street,-then north on Main Street to Pearson Street.
Concrete crossings have been made across Essex Street,- across Central Street,-from Campion's corner to Memorial Hall, and from Valpey's corner to the Post Office.
The bushes have been cut from the North Andover line to Tewksbury and on nearly all the roads in Andover west of the West Church.
A new culvert, two by four, has been put in across the road west of the house of Edward Boutwell, and three others have been taken up and cleaned out, one at the foot of Abbott Vil- lage hill, one that crosses the road on Chandler's hill near the Smith & Dove Mill, and one that crosses the road near the Boston & Maine depot.
A piece of road has been built by the state, beginning at the Lawrence line, running south twenty-seven hundred and fifty feet. This was built under the direction of an engineer sent from Boston by the state.
The details of the construction of this road, of interest to our citizens are as follows :
4184 cubic yards excavation, $1046 00
4.83 cubic yards ledge, 3 50
2614 square yards shaping road-bed, 52 28
50.2 cubic yards masonry, 125 50
1.5 cubic feet masonry,
6 00
684 cubic feet gravel,
273 60
1350.92 tons native broken stone, spread and rolled, 1785 25
Amount carried forward, $3292 13

Amount brought forward, $3292 13
874.4 square yards gutters paved, 524 64
Setting 11 monuments, 12 75
1308.30 tons Salem stone, spread and rolled, 2682 01
Total amount work approved,
$6511 53
The Town Treasurer has received on above account, $6338 63
Due the town from state on this account,
15 per cent of last month's work, 172 88
39 cents per cubic yard overlay,
266 76
Drain and catch basin work, 75 40
Several items of extra work not in con- tract, on which prices will be made when road is finished.
The town has paid out,
$6523 39
Bills unpaid, 679 78
It is generally understood that this state road will be built from Lawrence to Boston, to be maintained by the state.
This piece, which is nearly completed, was built on a con- tract between the State Highway Commission and the Board of Selectmen. Delays in obtaining road material for the sur- face and breaking down of machinery has made the road cost the town somewhat more than it will receive, but it seems to be money well spent.
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH T. LOVEJOY, Supt. of Streets
The over-draw on the regular highway appropriation was made on account of two or three heavy rains during the lat- ter part of the season. It has been estimated that there was from three to five thousand dollars damage done. Knowing that the State Highway would occupy the time during the latter part of the season, the regular repairs were finished early in the year, so that when the extra call came the ap- propriation had been nearly exhausted.
