HIGHWAYS AND PARKS
To the Board of Public Works :-
GENTLEMEN :- I submit for your approval the Ninth annual report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31st, 1921. During January, February and March, we were sanding sidewalks, shoveling gutters and plowing, keeping catch basins opened. The snow cost this year was only $1834.12 including the sand used on sidewalks the entire year, together with repairs on old plow and one new one, made by John L. Mor- rison. We now have ten plows and nine routes, which in any ordinary storm may be covered in four hours. When the frost was out of the ground we started cleaning up the streets and clear- ing out all catch basins. On completion of this we started patch- ing up our Tarvia Roads and the blanketing of same, which when we completed on May 10th, we started construction work on Lowell Street May 11th and completed this on August 18th, 1921. On August 19th we started Summer Street, finishing September 22d. On Sept. 26th we started Andover Street to B. Vale and completed this Nov. 14th. Since then we have been patching. up gravel roads, cleaning catch basin, sanding sidewalks and general work. We also helped clean up brush, resulting from the Ice Storm, using three of our men and our team, to aid the Tree warden for about two weeks.
BLANKETING OF STREETS
During the year 1921, 39,405 gallons of tarvia was used for this work, at a cost of $5910.75. Sand used for this work cost $1587.29. The cost of blanketing was kept this year on several different streets and found to be including patching, about .0412 per yard.
BRIDGES
It was necessary to put in new timbers and replank the Stevens Street Bridge this year. The work was done by Mr. Charles.
20
1
Torrey and cost $711.77. The Ballard Vale Bridge on Andover Street had to be all new timbered and planked; bids were asked for this and Mr. Torrey was awarded the job which cost $1590.00. I would say the Town furnished the paint for both of these bridges which were given two coats of asphalten paint, made especially for bridge work.
The Central Street Bridge is in a very dangerous condition, the trusses are about ready to fall and the timbers are in very bad shape. There should be a new Cement bridge built there at once.
SIDEWALKS
During the past year there was set Six hundred and forty-three feet of curbing, four hundred and eight yards granolithic walk on Main Street from Stevens Street to the Shawsheen River Bridge, at a cost of $2236.84. Tar sidewalks were built on School, Locke, Punchard Avenue and Summer Streets. Gutters were patched on School and High Streets and Maple Avenue, and a great many driveways, either made new or patched, so that automobiles could get in and out.
CONSTRUCTION
Construction work was started on Lowell Street on May 11th and completed August the 18th. During that time we completed 4549 feet of 18 foot road or 9098 square yards. There was con- siderable filling on this piece which made the cost higher than piece previously done. The total cost of the job was $29875.39. The table of cost will be found in the Expenditure sheet, which in- cludes $1100.00 for bills on the 1920 work.
Summer Street was then taken up on August 19th and when finished on September 22d we had completed 5531 yards of road with necessary catch basin and piping. The cost of this work was $9372.90 or about $1.69 per yard.
Andover Street was started on September 26th and completed the 14th of November. During that time we built 7472 yards of Tarvia road with necessary pipes for draining at a cost of $9985.73 or about $1.34 per yard.
21
BALLARD VALE DISTRICT
Only necessary repairs have been done in Mr. Haggerty's sec- tion this year, costing for teams and labor $2489.76.
Ashes have been put on Woburn Street, Haggetts Pond Road, Bailey, River and Highland Roads, and Stinson Street. Many hundred loads have been scattered on the different streets through- out the town; some three or four loads and on others more. The cost of this work for the year was $7000.00.

I have made a careful study of Phillips Street, measuring the same and find that it will take about 3400 feet of curbing and 7200 square yards of road to be built from Main to Central Streets, at an estimated cost of $19,500.00. Abbot Street between School and Phillips Streets, should be built at the same time which will mean about 3120 yards at a cost of $6500.00. The balance of our construction money should be spent on Essex Street, below the Boston and Maine R. R. crossing up Shawsheen Road toward the West Church, this would be to Stevens St., about $8000.00. River Road will have to be scarified and shaped up and a blanket coat. I would recommend $30000.00 for new work.
22
PARK DEPARTMENT
During the year 1921 only the necessary work was done on the park, such as taking care of the lawns, walks and shrubbery.
The athletic field had its usual care together with the boulders on Ridge Street.
