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 on March 24th at Buchan's pit. Beginning at the Shattuck place in West Andover we graveled the road through the hollow placing Telford road up the hill to the Cutler farm. We repaired Trow's hill, graveled Central street from the South church to T. A. Holt's store, also Summer street from Mr. Pasho's to John E. Hutcheson's, and the Nathan Abbott road.
May 28th, we started up the machinery on the River road, to expend the balance of the appropriation of the previous year. Eleven hundred twenty-five feet of macadam road was built, making the total amount thirty-four hundred feet west of the Lawrence line. We exceeded the balance of the appropriation. Edward Shattuck gave us the stone for five hundred feet of road and as the machinery was in place, I thought best to finish this, using money from the highway appropriation.
The bridge at Stevens Mills was raised two feet. This bridge I have re-planked three times in eleven years, and the Ballardvale bridge, one of the same kind was not done for nineteen years, so I thought best to raise it. The rais- ing, stone work, lumber and filling cost a little over a thou- sand dollars. As it costs nearly four hundred dollars to re-plank it, I consider this money well invested.
August 10th we commenced at the railroad bridge, North Main street and built 1200 feet of macadam road, paving the gutters and putting in two catch basins. As there was
46
only $972 left from the macadam appropriation after paying for the work done the fall previous on Elm street, we were unable to connect this with the macadam at the square.
The road machine has been used 23 days in different parts of the town. This machine usually repairs a mile each day. The gutters were cleaned as usual and stones raked. The hoky poky cart is still in use and doing good service.
There was no appropriation for gravel sidewalks but we built 250 feet on Avon street and a short one on the north side of Mineral street. I would say that right here is one of the worst places in town for the water to settle. I would recommend that the town put in two catch basins and pipe them to the river, a distance of 1000 feet or more. A catch basin was put in on Lowell street near Mr. Pike's and one in Abbott Village which we piped to the river. This work has been needed for a long time. A great many loads of gravel have been used to repair sidewalks in different parts of the town. A portion of Pine street was graded with ashes from the Tyer Rubber company.
