Early in the season, washouts, caused by the heavy rains, made a considerable draft on the regular roads and bridges ap- propriation, one storm causing an outlay of $2,000.00.
Also out of this appropriation quite an extensive improve- ment was made between Terry's corner and the mill of the Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co., the grade on the hill hav- ing been cut about three feet, the retaining wall at that point having been relaid and the water main lowered. A part of the cost of this work was borne by the Boston Woven Hose & Rub- ber Co.
On South street, near the residence of William W. Raymond, the sharp angle in the road has been changed to an easy curve, the slope sodded and the appearance of the street greatly im- proved. The land damage for this work was $30.00.
DARBY ROAD
Under a special appropriation, the macadam road at Darby has been extended to the Carver line on both the Wenham and North Carver branches, the distance being 2,700 feet-2,000 feet on the straight line to Carver Center and 700 feet on the North Carver branch. The grades were improved and the alignment changed considerably so that the result is a road much nearer straight and of an improved grade. The width of the macadam is 15 feet and the thickness a strong six inches, with a three foot shoulder, to conform to the crown of the ma- cadam, on each side, making the width practically 21 feet. On the North Carver branch a new roadway was built for 700 feet in order to improve the grade and alignment, and opposite the Darby station road a widening of ten feet was made.
These and other improvements, which were decided upon af- ter the estimate for this work was prepared, have caused a con- siderable overdraft.
-41-
SUMMER STREET
On Summer street, between Newfields and Oak streets, a tarviated macadam road has been built, the entire width from sidewalk to sidewalk having been treated. This is a six inch thick , macadam with Tarvia X-II grouted into the upper course. The
gutters and sidewalks have been relaid and the street has been put in good order generally. This work was done under a spec- ial appropriation.
WATER STREET
On this street, between Leyden and Union streets, a strong six inch tarviated macadam has been put in, the grades having been carefully made so as to insure good drainage which was lacking at this point. The result so far has been very satisfac- tory, the water draining off well and the surface standing up under the heavy traffic in a satisfactory manner. This work was also done under a special appropriation.
COURT STREET
Between Shirley square and Park avenue this street has been rebuilt, the crown reduced and the entire width between the car rail and the curbstone resurfaced with a grouted macadam, Tar- via X-II being used. The grade and the alignment of the curbing have been improved and the sidewalk rebuilt where ne- cessary to conform to the new grade of the street. Owing to the lateness of the season when this work was done, the seal coat of Tarvia was omitted as it was thought the road might be slippery during the winter if the Tarvia were applied so late in the season. This accounts for the somewhat rough surface
-42-
which this work has presented. I would recommend that a seal coat of Tarvia B be applied early in the coming season and a top dressing of pea stone instead of sand used for covering the same. The surplus material obtained by changing the grade on this street was used to redress South Park avenue and a durable surface was the result. There was a special appropria- tion for this work.
NEW ROADS
Under the appropriation for new roads, Summer street, west of Billington street, has been widened as far as the entrance to the Watson estate, a concrete retaining wall 291 1-2 feet long has been built to hold the slope near the cemetery entrance, and the sidewalk on the south side has been rebuilt.
Weston avenue, off Standish avenue, has been worked for a distance of 200 feet; and Ocean View avenue, parallel to Stan- dish avenue, has been built, the length of this work being 408 feet.
A new highway called Wood street, extending from Stafford street to Towns street, has been built this year. The length of this street is 1,173 feet.
Off Forest avenue a highway has been constructed for a dis- tance of 450 feet and a sidewalk with block paving edge stone built on both sides of the same.
On Oak street a widening has been made on the westerly side near Summer street, the high bank having been sloped and sodded and a sidewalk built.
At the south end of Newfields street a section about 500 feet in length has been built this year.
A new road at White Horse Beach, running nearly parallel to the shore, has been laid out and built this year. This road
-43-
leaves the original White Horse road near the beach and extends 1,124 feet toward Manomet Point.
The westerly end of Cherry street has been extended on the northerly branch 670 feet and on the southerly branch 360 feet. Sidewalks have been built on both sides of the northerly branch and on one side of the southerly branch.
SIDEWALKS
Sidewalks have been built with ashes, surfaced with crushed stone and edged with block pavers, on the following streets :
Wood street, New Roads appropriation, 233 feet
Water street, special appropriation, 566 feet
Summer street, special appropriation, 1,029 feet
Summer street, New Roads appropriation, 2,124 feet
Off Forest Avenue, New Roads appropriation, 933 feet

Court street, special appropriation, 130 feet
Water street, special appropriation, 111 feet

South Park avenue, Sidewalks appropriation, 270 feet
The following amount of concrete sidewalk has been laid :
South street, Sidewalks appropriation, 1,800 square feet
Sandwich street, Sidewalks appropriation, 738 square feet
Court street, special appropriation, 2,754 square feet
Summer street, Sidewalks appropriation, 2,232 square feet
-44-
STREET SPRINKLING
Dustoline, a dust laying oil, has been used this year in place of the emulsifying oil and proved much more satisfactory, the Dustoline being more cleanly and also holding the surface of the road in a more permanent manner. Four tank cars, about 36,000 gallons, were used.
I would recommend that a larger quantity of this oil be used and less water applied the coming summer,as the oil is much more desirable and also cheaper in the end.
REMOVAL OF SNOW
There has been but one snow storm at this writing and a comparatively small amount of snow had to be removed.
STATE HIGHWAY
The State Highway tax for 1912 was $365.50. An allotment of $10,000.00 was made by the Massachusetts Highway Com- mission for state highways in this town for the year 1912.
The state highway located in this town is described as fol- lows :
Macadam, with oil surface,
31,293 feet
Sand and oil, built up method, 7,263 feet
Sand and oil, mixed method, 13,714 feet
Making a total of, 52,270 feet or about ten miles. The distance between the last section built and the Bourne line at Sagamore is 18,112 feet, or about three and one half miles.
-45-
SEWERS
During the year sewers have been laid on the following streets : on Lewis street 437 feet, on Whiting street 44 feet, on Summer street 24 feet, on Allerton street 120 feet, and on Wood street. 250 feet. A section of the outlet of the sewer in the north part. of the town has been rebuilt, 500 feet of 12-inch iron pipe re- placing the wooden trough laid when the sewer was constructed.
WELLINGSLEY SEWER
The Wellingsley sewer has been completed, 2,953 feet having been built this year.
Respectfully submitted, STILLMAN R. SAMPSON. Superintendent of Streets.
