A three-foot culvert was put in across Lowell Street near Charles Newton's. This had been in bad shape for several years, the culvert not being large enough to prevent the water from running over the road.
We repaired the culvert on School Street over Stony Brook by taking up old covering-stone, building new abutments and putting on new covering-stone, at an expense of $125.00. We changed
45
catch basin on north end of Musgrove Building to upper side of crossing, rather than have the water run over the crossing to get into the catch basin, and put in a concrete crossing to electric track, also put in catch basin on south side of building in the same manner.
Worked out the ledge and widened the street near James Hunt's in West Andover.
On account of the past dry season, the loose stones in the roadways have caused inconvenience and much expense in re- moving, having been raked on nearly all the streets twice during the summer.
The usual spring and fall cleaning of gutters has been done, and catch basins attended to as needed.
By using the Road Machine thirty days we repaired many miles of road.
The streets of Ballardvale have been kept in excellent condi- tion, under the care of John Haggerty, driver of the town team kept there.
As there was no special appropriation for Macadam, work along that line has been limited. We re-surfaced Main Street from Chapel Avenue to Morton Street, coating this with Tarvia, the Tarvia costing $240.00. We here laid an iron culvert 125 feet long to Morton Street catch basin. Began at Locke Street and re-surfaced to Chestnut. Changed grate of catch basin near Locke Street from the roadway to the gutter. Resurfaced on Elm Street 1000 feet, also resurfaced the hollow south of the drinking fountain on the Hill.
We have repaired the bins and built a platform for use of the rotary crusher, this being the crusher used this year.
We finished the Granolithic walk from Park Street to Mus- grove Building, putting in vitrified brick crossings at Morrissey's stable and Postoffice Avenue. A concrete crossing was built at the Railroad Station. Graveled sidewalks on Park, Pine, Bartlett, Main, Haverhill, Pearson, Red Spring and Shawsheen Streets. Replanked walk across River Bridge in Abbott Village. Built sidewalks on Haverhill and Lincoln Streets, as voted at last town meeting.
