A pipe culvert was put in near John B. Jenkins'. New railing was placed over the fish brook near Phelps crossing and on Reservation street.
A concrete walk was put in on Bartlet street from Morton street to connect with the walk near the Stowe school, under the betterment act. A concrete walk with edgestones was laid on the south side of the Town House. An asphalt crossing was built from the Town House to the corner near Whiting's store, also one from Campion's corner to Memo- rial Hall, one near the Episcopal church, and two across Florence street (one at Elm street and one at Park street.) Several concrete walks and gutters were repaired.
The streets in Ballardvale have been kept in repair by the town horses kept there.
We began work on the State road September 2nd, and built 3400 feet finishing it the last of November. This is
47
the fifth piece I have built in Andover. You will see by the Selectmen's account that there is a balance in the town's favor. As this is said to be the last piece of State road which we are to receive, I would say that the five pieces call for an appropriation of $27,000 which sum has been expended under my direction. This money has been kept in town. If the road had been built by contract, this labor would have been done largely by Italians.
