HIGHWAY SURVEYOR'S REPORT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Andover :-
GENTLEMEN: I herewith present my report as Highway Surveyor.
As early in the spring as it was possible, work was commenced on the highways. Many of the roads were in bad condition, owing to the frost going into the ground so deep and the heavy rains following.
The road scraper has been used on some thirty (30) miles of road and gravel used in places where it was most needed. When one stops to think of the one hundred and seventy-five (175) miles of road in Andover, the appropriation has to be stretched out in order to keep the roads in any kind of repair.
SIDEWALKS
This department has been looked after for the past season as well as could be expected with the amount of money we have to do with. About one and one-half (11/2) miles of sidewalks have been resurfaced, and as the sidewalk on Essex Street was in such bad condition, part of it was laid over new; curbstones were also set part of the way on the north side of Essex Street.
A new concrete walk was laid from Summer Street to Whittier Street on Elm Street, and from Elm Street to Whitter Street on Summer Street.
MACADAM
In my opinion this department is the most important one of all and I have tried to do what work has been done in the most economical manner as regards durability. Elm Street near the North Andover line was in very bad condition; this piece of
46
road (2200 feet) was rebuilt and surfaced with an application of Lawrence Gas Co. tar applied hot and covered with sand. This piece of road is now in first class condition.
Union Street was also resurfaced and tar and sand applied. This road has withstood the heavy automobile travel since last spring, and with another light coat of tar and sand next spring will last for years. A new piece of macadam road was built on the River Road in West Andover, about 2000 feet, which was also laid in tar applied hot.
The special appropriation of $2000.00 for Salem Street was used in building a piece of road 2500 feet, from where Mr. Gould left off last year to the so-called Cape District to the Harnden farm. This also was laid in tar.
Andover Street appropriation was used to build a piece of road commencing on Central Street near the Shawsheen River bridge and running to a point just beyond the residence of Joseph Stanley. This road was partly laid in Lawrence tar and the Barrett Company tarvia, to determine which would give the best results. In my judgment the tarvia is the better binder.
A small piece of macadam was laid near the home of Mrs. T. F. Pratt, and many places which were in bad condition have been repaired.
SNOW
This department has not been overworked as there has been very little snow to care for.
In conclusion let me say that there are about fifteen or twenty miles of old macadam roads in town which are sadly in need of repairs and will go to pieces next season unless they can be resurfaced and some kind of a binder used to hold the top of the road from being torn off by automobiles.
I would recommend the purchase of an oil wagon and also a heater for the purpose of heating tar, tarvia or asphalt, as these binders must be used hot to give the best results.
HIGHWAY HORSES
The horses have done good work during the year that is just past, although they could not go far from the center of the town.
47
Ballard Vale has been well cared for the year past, and the roads which have been under the supervision of Mr. Haggerty are in first class condition.
