The rain storm of November 10th was one of the worst en- countered in this section for many years. The rainfall from the 7th to the 10th of November was 4.65 inches. A number of coun- try roads were washed out and in some places to a depth of three feet. For a week after the heavy rainfall it was necessary to light many of the roads where these washouts occurred, so as to give proper warning to traffic. A section of culvert on Whittier Court near the property of Mr. Andrew Basso that was washed out has been repaired. The sides were relaid and the old flagstone top was removed and replaced with a reinforced concrete slab.
The barn and steam roller shed was given a coat of stain and the trimmings were painted. All the snow plows were recondi- tioned and the truck plows were overhauled and repaired.
To provide for adequate Highway Maintenance for 1933, we recommend an appropriation of $60000.00 to be divided sub- stantially as follows :
Maintenance
Salaries, labor, teams and truck hire
$23350.00

SEWER DEPARTMENT
Four hundred and forty-two feet of six-inch sewer main were laid on Ferndale Avenue. This sewer line connects to the 8" sewer line on Poor Street.

Seven hundred and forty-seven feet of six-inch sewer main were laid on Stratford Road which runs between Chestnut Street and Summer Street. This sewer line connects with the six-inch sewer line on Chestnut Street. This work was done under Article No. 9
