HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Andover-
GENTLEMEN : I herewith present my report on Highways and Bridges.
Work was commenced April 3rd. on Woburn Street. It was graded from Mr. Torr's to the house of Mr. T. Dennie Thomson.
Beginning where the macadam was left in 1896 on South Union street near the residence of Joshua Stott, we next macadamized 700 feet to the electric railroad track. There are 200 feet more to be done and then there will be a ma- cadam road from the Shawsheen river to the Lawrence line on both streets.
We next gravelled the road from the Miller place in Frye village toward the West church as far as the house of George Cochran, and also from the fountain to the West church cemetery. Two culverts were re-laid here.
We then graded Whittier street from Summer street to Elm. Main street was gravelled from the Lowe place to the Square, and from School street to the end of the electric road. I macadamized Main street from Chestnut street, 765 feet south on the east side of the railroad track. Five hundred feet of macadam was laid near the Weld place.
Repairs have been made on Morton, School, Bartlet, Phillips, Essex, Central, Railroad, Salem, Summer, Marland, Lowell, Ridge, Mineral, Cuba streets and on Maple avenue.
Gutters have been cleaned out in every street in the Centre and in Ballardvale. Have tried to keep all the crossings clean around the square. A new Concrete cross- ing has been made across Bartlet street in front of Punchard School, for the school children.
51
In Ballardvale, repairs have been made on nearly every street. The iron bridge has been replanked and painted at a cost of $370. This I call cheap considering the beautiful carving.
Some repairs have been made in the Cape District and some in Scotland.
The road from the Carruth place to the Tewksbury line has been repaired using the road machine; also from Boyn- ton's past the school-house to Tewksbury line, and from Main road to the school house road, and from Barnard's corner to the Drisko place. Much more would have been repaired with the machine if the dry weather had not pre- vented.
Eighteen culverts have been relaid, one of which cost $200.
Thirty two hundred feet of macadam have been made at Haggetts Pond, and 722 feet of railing put in place. Near the Chapman place, we put 424 feet of railing and 200 feet on River street in Ballardvale.
Two new streets have been built with macadam, Barnard street, 400 ft., and Avon street, 800 ft. On Barnard street the sidewalk was concreted, edgestones put in, and the gutter paved the entire length.
At the foot of the hill below Peter D. Smith's, we laid 300 feet of macadam road. Including the new streets, and the state highway, this makes the sum total of macadam road, 10625 feer, or a trifle more than two miles.
All the streets have been kept free from stones, and all the bushes were mowed except those in the south eastern part of the town. I was informed that the money was ex- pended, or these would have been cut.
Repairs on sidewalks were made as follows: Trees were cut near the Wood's place and cleared away, and the side- walks put in order for concrete. This cost nearly half the appropriation. The sidewalks have been repaired on Salem,
52
Summer, Phillips, Morton, Pearson streets. A new side walk was laid on Summer street from Welch's to the Col- lins' place. The following sidewalks have been concreted : the west side of High street, from the square to Harding street; Park street from Napier's to Whittier street ; Morton street from Main to School street. Edgestones have been placed on the corners of each street where the concrete was laid.
A concrete gutter has been made from Daly's store to Pearson street. Concrete gutters have been repaired on Main and Pearson streets. In Ballardvale, we laid a con- crete walk from John Dearborn's to the depot, and from F. G. Haynes' the entire length of High street.
All the concrete was put in by Bailey & Chase with the exception of Morton street. This was laid by Henry Cun- ningham as a sample walk.
The selectmen contracted for a half mile of state road, employing me to build the same. I built three quarters of a mile in seven weeks, and did not exceed the appropriation for the half mile. This was satisfactory and has been ac- cepted by the state, and I think Mr. Goldsmith's report will show a balance for the town.
