MAINTENANCE
Maintenance consists principally of patching the seal coating and water bound macadam, gravel, and dirt roads. This work is absolutely essential owing to the greatly increased travel through the Town, and the expense connected with it should not be overlooked at the Annual Town Meeting.
DRAINAGE
The work of drains conveying the surface water is on the increase every year owing to the new devel- opments of land in all three sections of the Town. This past year drains have been run on the following streets :
Cleveland Avenue. Hollingsworth Avenue. Pond Street. Morrison Road. Union Street Commercial Street. Washington Street.
GRANTING OF PERMITS 1
The following number of permits have been is- sued to dig trenches in the Streets during the year:
281 Permits granted to the Old Colony Gas Company
9 Permits granted the N. E. Tel. & Tel. Company Permits granted the Water Department.
12 Permits granted for Cellar Drains.
Permits will not be granted to any company be- fore March 30th, 1928, owing to the danger of ditches caving in when the frost comes out of the ground.
334
