To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Andover:
I have the honor to submit the following report :
In the Spring we commenced to use the road-scraper as soon as the condition of the ground would permit. We worked for thirty (30) days, mostly in the West part of the town, with the usual good results. In connection with the scraping we cut bushes and removed large boulders, etc.
We then got out gravel and repaired streets and sidewalks where most needed, built a new bridge at Frye Village and rebuilt several culverts. Curbstones were put in at the junction of Elm and High Street sidewalks ; a concrete walk was laid on the east side of High Street from Elm to Walnut
38
Avenue. A curbstone was put in at the corner of Bartlet Street and concrete walk laid on south side of Chestnut Street from Bartlet to Main. A concrete walk was also built on Bartlet Street from Punchard Avenue to the land of Jonas Spaulding. Curbstones were put in at the corner of Morton Street and corner of Wheeler, and one at the cor- ner of Chapel Avenue and Bartlet Street, with concrete walk on Bartlet Street from Morton to Chapel Avenue. Put in curbstone at corner of Chapel Avenue and Salem Street, with concrete walk from Chapel Avenue to Highland Road. A concrete walk was laid on the west side of Main Street from Locke Street to brick walk. Built a new walk on Phillips Street.
Built Macadam road from Morton Street to Town House on west side of Main Street 2100 feet long and 14 feet wide with concrete gutter as far as Chestnut Street and put in a 10 inch pipe from there to Roger's Brook. Macadamized Park Street from Main to Bartlet, making 480 feet in length and 36 in width. From the North Andover line west, 1830 feet of Macadam 18 feet wide was built, and the Main Street 450 feet north from Tyer's Rubber Shop was macadamized, and also 275 feet built on Main Street south from Stimpson's Bridge.
A concrete gutter was laid from reservoir on south side of Pearson Street to B. & M. R. R. with 12 inch pipe to cross road at the lower end of Pearson Street.
A gravel walk has been laid from Stimpson's Bridge to Curran & Joyce's house and from Poor's shop to Frye Village on west side of Main Street.
Two catch-basins have been built on Main Street and one on Park Street, with grate.
Work, such as cutting bushes, raking stones, and clearing gutters has been done throughout the year whenever needed. Respectfully,
GEORGE W. CHANDLER,
Highway Surveyor.
