A drain pipe coming from the rear of the property of Miss Elsie Livingston on Carmel Road was connected near the property line to the drain pipe in the street. The drainage system on High Plain Road, started last year, was completed this year. This work included the installation of approximate- ly seventy feet of twelve-inch Akron pipe on the right-of-way given the Town by Mr. Carl Stevens of High Plain Road. Prior to the construction of Greenwood Road, an old stone culvert near the corner of Chandler Road was replaced with a twelve-inch corrugated iron pipe.
A culvert was installed on Andover Street in front of the property of Mr. Winthrop White to relieve a bad drainage condition. An old broken-down stone culvert on Ballardvale Road near the corner of South Main Street was replaced with a twelve-inch corrugated iron pipe.
A similar one on River Road near the property of Mr. Nel- son Dennis is being replaced with thirty-six inch reinforced concrete pipe. This work is being done under Chapter 90 Con- struction.
173
A stone wall with an iron post fence on top as guard, was erected on Essex Street, west of the railroad tracks in the way of the Boston & Maine Railroad near the corner of Rail- road Avenue. Curbing in the way of the new wall was laid and a hard surface sidewalk built. Preparatory to this work, two large elm trees were removed. All work, with the exception of the removal of the trees, the erection of the fence and the building of the sidewalk was done by Mr. Frank McCarthy, local contractor.
Curbing was also installed by Mr. McCarthy on both sides of Walker Avenue at a bid price of four hundred eighty-five dollars and seventy ($485.70) cents. After the installation of the curbing, the sections between the curbing and roadbed were patched and tamped.
The work of installing wooden rails on the concrete posts on the section of River Road where the new road was built in 1942 was completed this year. A wooden rail fence was erected on a new culvert on High Plain Road.
. A drill press was purchased for the garage.
The joints on the block paving and cement roads have been filled with joint filler.
. The removal of the old car tracks on Main Street and Elm Street was done by Mr. Louis C. Cyr. After the removal of the tracks on the cement and block paving roads namely on Main Street, the openings made by the removal of the tracks were filled with cement and on Elm street, the openings were filled with hot top and then given an application of "Tarvia. Retread" and honed.
The following work was done on trucks and cars belonging to the Board of Public Works: painted cabs and wheels of four Diamond T's; relettered four Diamond T's and the Ply- mouth coupe, and repaired the seats of the four Diamond T's, Ford and Dodge truck.
A number of tin, paper and scrap drives were held during the year. A number of truck owners generously gave their trucks, and the Board of Public Works employees, Phillips
174
Academy and Punchard High School students gave their services to pick up and unload the above material. Inciden- tally, in the tin drive collection, eighteen trucks participated and in the paper drive, thirty-three trucks.
Due to the shortage of oil, the heater at the garage was converted from oil to coal. This work was done by Bride, Grimes & Company of Lawrence, Mass.
New grousers were installed on the No. 20 tractor so as to be able to cope with icy conditions while plowing.
The plank sidewalk on the south side of the Ballardvale Bridge was renewed and the new fence supports on the same side were installed. A number of planks on the travelled way of the bridge were renewed.
The scraping of roads has been minimized due to the hard-surfacing of many of the roads.

The amounts of money approved for the various depart- ments for the year 1944 do not include any general increases in wages over those paid in 1943 except step rate increases.
A schedule based on a 10 per cent increase up to, but not exceeding $100. per year to any individual, to apply to all employees except those whose wages were increased during 1943, has been worked out with each department. This plan, if put in effect, would cost the town about $18000.00 per year, or somewhat over $1.00 on the Tax Rate.
We recommend that before voting on any budget item which includes wages, the voters should decide whether or not an increase should be granted.
