The following roads were repaired, using the road machine : From the Luscomb place to the Lawrence line. From Bar- nard's corner to Drisko's. From Moody's corner to the Vale. From Mr. Shaw's across the plains to the Weld place and to the Wilmington line. From the foot of Job Abbott's hill to Woburn street. River street to the Wilmington line. From North Andover line on Highland road to Salem street. From Highland Road past the Roach place to Nathan F. Ab- bott's corner. Last year I repaired with the machine more than one-half of the outlying districts intending to finish them this year had I the opportunity. The appropriation for repairs was cut down $1000, so the plan for this year could not be fulfilled. I think this is a mistake, for if the remain- ing portion could have been done this year, afterwards four horses could do the work of six, provided the scraping in
48
each section was done every other year. The road machine keeps the gutters clean, consequently severe storms do not cause any washouts where the road is so repaired. The gut- ters had their usual cleaning and stones were raked as often as needed.
On Lowell street we gravelled from Cutler's hill past the Hunt place. From the foot of Trow's hill to the top of the hill west of Ward's. Also we gravelled the hill near Peter Smith's. The entire length of Stevens street. From the West church to Cunningham's. The entire length of Brook street. On School street we began near Mr. Leach's, grav- elling what was not macadamized south to the depot. On High street we repaired from Elm street nearly to Mr. Bliss's. We began near the fountain at James Abbott's, gravelling as far as the guide boards.
In Ballardvale we gravelled a third of a mile north of Dris- ko's. From Moody's corner to Palmer's. On River street, Tewksbury street, Chester street and on the plains. This was done by the pair of horses kept at the vale and the town receives considerable praise for the neat and faithful work of their driver, Mr. Haggerty. A catch basin was put in near John Dearborn's and over 200 feet of 10 inch pipe was laid underground leading into Clarke's brook. This was a long needed want. A strip of macadam road, 701 feet long was built on Lowell street near the West Cemetery. In Frye Village, near the house of George Ward, 748 feet was laid toward the east. I built 1046 feet down Essex street from the electric car track at the square toward the west. On Main street we began at the terminus of the State Highway lay out, building 1300 feet toward town. In Abbott Village, 230 feet was built opposite the house of Mr. Craig on Miner- al street. The money was spent, so this last was left unfin- ished. A catch basin and 50 feet of pipe will complete the job. In all, this makes a little over 4000 feet of macadam road built this year.
I repaired Park street from the engine house past Bartlet
49
street, making it as good as new. The culvert there was taken up and cleaned out. It was built of stone 2 1-2 feet square. The south end joins the land purchased by Mr. Howell and he laid 192 feet of 8 inch pipe entering it into Roger's Brook. This failed to carry off the water so in or- der to make it right I have taken the 8 inch pipe out and put in 12 inch at the cost of $85. This same condition of drain- age is found in other parts of town : on Main street near Mr. George Foster's and near Dr. Leitch's. Here, from an 18 inch culvert a small pipe was laid entering the brook that runs under School street near Mrs. Blunt's. This has caused quite a lot of trouble to neighboring cellars, and always will until a larger pipe is laid to take the overflow. Now it seems to me that when a man covers over a natural waterway, he ought to be compelled to put in a pipe of ample dimensions to carry all the flow of water. A 12 inch culvert was put in across Lowell street, west of Buchan's road.
I repaired the driveway of Mrs. Chase at Haggett's Pond, she bearing the expense.
Some old junk has been sold and the dealer settled with the town treasurer.
We have laid concrere sidewalks as follows: 459 yards on south side of Central street, from Campion's corner across Chestnut street, connecting it with the concrete at Tyer's corner ; 370 yards on the north side of Central street; 341 yards on Locke street ; 334 yards on Chestnut street ; 66 2-3 yards on Morton street ; 269 yards on west side of School street; a crossing from the Tyer residence to the Episcopal church. Gutters were concreted near Judge Bell's on Bart- let street, 40 yards ; 236 yards on Phillips street; 56 yards on Main street at the foot of Harding street. Repairs were made on the old concrete walks and gutters where needed. The concrete sidewalks were built under the betterment act which necessitates being laid out by the selectmen. On Main street I built a concrete walk from the brick walk near Wakefield's to Valpey's corner, 49 yards. The new street
50
laid out by the selectmen from Walnut avenue to Carmel Woods, 50 feet wide, has been completed with a sidewalk on each side. A 12 inch pipe was put in under ground through the hollow. The full amount has been expended and the road finished with the exception of a pebble near the Grout residence. It is estimated that it will cost $125 to remove this. I think it will be cheaper to put an electric light on top of it and let it remain there.
At Haggett's Pond, 720 feet of railing was built and paint- ed between Dixon's corner and the depot. New rails were placed on Mineral street, south of the gravel pit. A guard picket fence has been put on both sides of the river bridge at Frye Village. In Ballardvale, 100 feet of railing was built on Chester street and 752 feet on the swamp road near Lowell Junction. These ought to be painted this spring. All old rails received a new coat of paint.
Roger's Brook has been cleaned out. In one place we got nearly a load of grape baskets. The steam roller has been used on all the macadam road built during the past few years on the River Road and at Haggett's Pond, and it resurfaced them nicely. We received $40 from the State Highway Commission, $80 from Lawrence Gas Co., $285 from Loring Farnum, $5 from Michael Stack for use of roller. In build- ing a piece of macadam under the old system, we never could get enough stone dust to surface the road. With the aid of the steam roller we have a surplus left at the springs. Of this I have sold 25 tons to Loring Farnum for $30 ; to Prof. Smith loads amounting to $9; $9 worth to Prof. Taylor; to Peter D. Smith and Henry Barnard, each $3. We also did work amounting to $75 for the Smith & Dove Co., which we should not have done if we had not owned the steam roller. This makes the earnings of the roller outside our own town work over $500. I stated at town meeting that the roller was the best plow team on the top of the earth. I am of the same opinion today, for we plowed 1300 feet of road and it never balked once.

Ever since the frost came out of the ground in the spring, the Lawrence Gas Co., has had from 60 to 107 men at work digging up the streets to put in gas pipes. The New Eng- land Telegraph and Telephone Co., have left a ridge from Tewksbury to the Lawrence line. With these difficulties to contend with it has been rather hard to keep the water where it belongs and it will be some time before the ridges settle back into place.
I have been asked why the town teams were not kept at work later in the season. The money was all spent, the town treasurer refused to pay any more bills and the town counsel advised me to stop short. Then again, there was $1000 less on repairs and $1000 less on macadam than in either of the two previous years. We did not receive any appropriation from the State Highway Commission. This was $5000 in each of the two previous years. I think this explanation ought to be satisfactory.
