REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


I herewith respectfully submit the fifth annual re- port of the Engineering Department for the year end- ing December 31, 1934.


This department has been called upon to do con- siderable more engineering the past year than the previous year, and has been handicapped by not hav- ing enough help. As there has been only one man be- sides the Town Engineer it was impossible to carry on all work called upon without additional help. For this reason I have requested in the 1935 budget a first class Transitman which will make a survey party of three, which all survey parties should have. With the amount of work being done and to be done this de- partment should be granted this request.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Braintree :


Gentlemen :


I have the honor and pleasure of submitting to you my report for the year 1934.


This has been a year for the Highway Department work to consist largely of general maintenance.


Owing to the large sewerage programme under PWA it was not deemed advisable by the Town to undertake at the last annual Town Meeting any major construction projects. Now that is getting well along, I ask the voters to give a little attention to our main streets, of which the surfaces have been pretty well ruined by the sewer construction. They should be re- surfaced to make the streets safe for traffic. At the same time it as well not to lose sight of possible liabilities.


I am at this time pleased to report that all work ordered by your Board against the Highway Depart- ment has been completed and executed by the depart- ment itself, consisting generally of the work which will be found on the following summary of Highway Department Expenditures in this report.
