i. Town Survey : A project is now under way to prepare a map of Chelmsford showing all highways, public buildings, railroads, fire hydrants, etc. A map of this kind has been needed for many years.
j. Grubbing Road Corners : A new project to grub and cut back dan- gerous corners on Town roads has been started under the W. P. A.
k. Farm to Market Roads: Farm to Market roads have been selected in Chelmsford as Dunstable Road and Riverneck Roads. This is a State project using local W. P. A. labor and local trucks.
1. Widening and Graveling Town Roads: This project has started un- der the W. P. A. and calls for the widening and graveling of Robin Hill Road, Locust Road, Byam Road, Swain Road and Locke Road.
m. Repairs and Painting School Buildings : This project is now started at the Princeton Street School, and when the workmen are through there they will transfer to the South Chelmsford School and the Westlands School.
COST OF PROJECTS
The Federal Government Paid Out in Wages from January 1, 1935, to December 31, 1935 $109,878.53 Amount Appropriated by the Town of Chelmsford in 1935 for Materials, Truck Hire, etc., or 7.7% of Total Expendi- tures 9,200.00
Total Expenditures $119,078.53
FUTURE PROJECTS
At the present time 185 persons are employed on the W. P. A. ; every able-bodied man or woman who is on welfare has been given the opportun- ity of work on the W. P. A. Many of these are older men who are taking this opportunity to earn their own living.
Sufficient worth-while projects besides those in operation have been approved by the Works Progress Administration to keep our unemployed at work for another six months, providing the Town furnishes the materials. truck hire, etc.
I wish at this time to publicly thank the Board of Selectmen, Depart- ment Heads, and other Town officials, who have given so generously of their time to the end that the E. R. A .- W. P. A. might work smoothly.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK J. LUPIEN, Local Administrator E. R. A. & W. P. A.
