HIGHWAYS AND PARKS
To the Board of Public Works:
GENTLEMEN :-
I submit for your approval the eleventh annual report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1923.
Our work for the year 1923 started on December 29, 1922, the day of a big snowstorm, which came in the first week of the year. The following table gives the snowfall which was taken care of with the 1923 appropriation.
Dec. 1922|Jan. 1923|Feb. 1923|March 1923|April 1923|Nov. 1923|Dec. 1923

There were 2012 inches of snowfall in November and Decem- ber, 1922, making in all a total of 114 3-8 inches. Last winter was one of the worst, and it was almost impossible to keep the walks clear and many of the roads were unfit for travel. This winter we are better prepared than ever, having a State truck equipped with a plough, as well as three town ploughs which can be attached to trucks in short order. With the above, we are in hopes of keeping all the main highways opened for auto travel at all times. The roads in the outlying districts will be taken care of as soon as possible after the main arteries are opened. On April 5th considerable rain fell, which caused several wash- outs. These were repaired with ashes and gravel.
We started patching holes in our tarvia roads the week of April 23rd, and blanketing the same the week of May 7th. This
31
work was completed around June 1st. In blanketing our streets this year, 25,119 gallons of Tarvia and 8,050 gallons of asphalt oil were used. About 890 yards of sand were required to cover this and 100 yards were placed in the shed for sanding sidewalks this winter. There were used for patching roads, sidewalks, and gutters 35 barrels of K. P., a cold patch which is mixed with sand or pea stone. Chestnut Street, Washington Avenue, Lupine Road, and several small places such as around the depot were scarified and given a very heavy coat of 45% asphalt oil which worked out very well. We scarified Andover Street from River Street to Woburn Street, put on some gravel as a binder and then covered it with oil. There has been ashes put on the following streets: High Street, Carmel Street, Poor Street, High- land Road, Ballardvale Road, Hidden Road, Argilla Road, Wild- wood Road, Jenkins Road, River Road, Haggett's Pond Road, Chandler Road, High Plain Road, Corbett Street.
Many roads were scraped this year and considerable good work has been accomplished. Mr. Elmer Conkey did most of the scraping and dragging. Many old stone culverts, which had fallen in and were stopping the flow of water, were replaced by corrugated pipe culverts. There are still many old culverts which will have to be replaced by new corrugated culverts. These are mostly in the outlying districts.
In Ballardvale 534 loads of gravel were used in repairing the roads. The Fire Department team was used and also help from the Vale. The work in this section was looked after by Mr. . Haggerty. The work on Andover street was quite extensive, so our regular men were sent to do this. The steam roller was also used on this job. This winter there has been a new plough bought for this section of the town.
Sidewalk work totaling 901 square yards has been done on Shawsheen Road and Stevens Street; also 171 yards of coating put on in several places and several driveways and gutters have been repaired, totaling 443 square yards. One hundred and sixty feet of curbing were set on High Street. The above work was done by contractor W. F. Duffee for the sum of $2047.65. There is still considerable sidewalk and gutter work to be done. They are continually washing out and need to be filled with a tar material. When a road is built it should always be borne in
32
mind that considerable money is saved by curbing both sides of the road. When this is done there is very little chance of the road's being washed out.
William Street was built by the American Woolen Company in the late fall of 1921 and the frost got into it, causing it to break up. To save the road, it was scarified and brought to grade with broken stone and then given a 2-inch topping of Warrenite. This was done by the Thomas G. Jewett, Jr., Con- struction Company for the sum of $4000.00, and was guaranteed for five years.
Shawsheen Road was curbed from the village center to the top of P. D. Smith's Hill on one side, and from Stevens Street to near Lincoln Street on the other side. This 3160 feet of curbing which was set by contract at a price of 50 cents per foot. A catchbasin was installed, the culverts were cleaned out and the sewer manholes slightly raised. We sub-graded the road and intended to build same, but found it impossible to get the stone and labor. On this account, bids were asked and M. McDonough & Co. of Swampscott, Mass., was the successful bidder at $1.50 per square yard. There were 7061 square yards built at this price, which is much lower than the town could do it.
Under a special appropriation, sidewalks were built in front of the Musgrove Building and from Campion's corner to Miller's Shoe Store. The poles were not removed until the cold weather set in, so a few squares where these poles set will not be filled in until the weather permits. There still remains on this job an unexpended balance of $1160.52, which I hope will take care of the sidewalk to Chestnut Street.
I would recommend for Highway maintenance the same as last year, $45,000.00, to be divided as follows:
