During this time there were lost eleven days by storm and holidays. There were 6700 yards of tarvia-bound road built; railing, drain-pipe, and all work done here for the sum of $14,999.46. Of this amount the town paid only one-third, the remainder being divided equally between the County and State. In fact, we covered 100 feet more than contract called for, or 3300 feet of 18-foot road. This was built by specifications fur- nished by the Massachusetts Highway Commission and in- spected by their inspector, Mr. George Delano. I would say that the itemized account will be found in the Expenditure Tables.
This finished, we started our fall cleaning, and getting sand in shed for the winter. There have been dragged several roads during the year. The scraper has not been used as much as usual. I would say that most of our appropriation has been used for maintenance, as no new permanent work was done during the year, only Lowell Street, and that was a special $5000.
As the labor cost has increased, as well as all materials used, the maintenance for 1919 will be divided as follows :-
Labor and teams (same as 1918)
$10000.00
Sand and gravel
500.00
Blanketing Streets
3500.00
Gravel and ashes
3000.00
Sidewalks-work and curbing
3700.00
Snow
2000.00
Drains
500.00
Keeping team
800.00
Miscellaneous
1000.00
$25000.00
CONSTRUCTION
This work has been nothing during the past year, and if allowed to go much longer there will come the time when we shall have to have a larger amount than the town will want to bear. I hope that some money will be available for new work in 1919, as we want to advance, not go backwards.

ASHES
Ashes have been used in several places during the year 1918: Hidden Road, Ballardvale Road, Summer Street, Salem Street, and several loads used for filling here and there on High Plain Road, Vine Street, Bancroft Road. And this winter they are being used on Salem Street and the River Road. They have been used on Haverhill Street, Chestnut Street and several other sidewalks for filling and for top-coating.
SIDEWALKS AND CURBING
Work was done under the Betterment Act, on School Street and Main Street. Other work was done, such as resurfacing and patching, on Main, Chestnut, High, Central and Bartlet streets, Walnut and Maple avenues, and several driveways were put in. No curbing was set except some in Ballardvale. There are several places where curbing should be set, and especially on the hills.
BALLARDVALE
Work done by Mr. John Haggerty in this section has been of the usual order, cleaning up gutters, catchbasins, dragging and scraping. He also laid cement curbing and covered several sidewalks with dust. Amount spent in this district during 1918 was $3026.36, including labor, team hire and all material used.
PARK DEPARTMENT
Taking care of park, playstead, and Boulders as well as burning leaves, and cleaning up in the fall, was the only work done in this department.
Appropriation March, 1918 $1500.00
Expenditure-bills and payrolls 1496.65
Balance 335.00
I would recommend $1200 for 1919.
