JOHN A. RAYMOND,
Town Clerk.
WEYMOUTH, January 25, 1913.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN - I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1912.
The total highway appropriation, including Street Railway tax, amounts to $26,643.69. This includes money expended for snow and bridges.
The sum of $6,609.43 was used for oil and street watering, in- cluding all labor connected with it. The sum of $4,786.35 was used for permanent sidewalks. Special appropriations amount- ing to $3,000 were raised.
As most of our town roads are built of gravel, and most of that a very poor quality, it is almost impossible to keep our streets in proper condition owing to the auto travel, especially in the north and east parts of the town.
I would recommend that the town buy a piece of land with ledge on it in Weymouth Heights, near the electric car line, and run the stone crusher. With the Back River bridge closed all summer we were under a heavy expense all the time repairing North, Commercial, East and Broad Streets.
The oil that we used served very well on gravel during the dry season, but the wet weather in the fall made a thick, heavy mud. The worst places were Jackson Square, Lincoln Square and Washington Square. These squares should be paved.
There should be a special appropriation made of about $400 to build a cement bridge over the river at Reidy's blacksmith shop.
There should be special attention paid to the drainage in Ward Three as the conditions are very poor.
As Ward Four has very good gravel pits in each end of the ward there is less expense in keeping the main streets in repair.
In Ward Five the gravel used has to be hauled a long distance, especially Union Street to the Rockland line, but with the crusher running near the car line crushed stone could be landed cheaper than gravel.
191
WARD ONE.
The most important work was done on the following streets : Used the road machine and cleaned the gutters on all the streets.
Commercial Street-Graveled from Barnard's hill to J. Loud's hill; resurfaced with gravel and oiled from King Oak hill to Ward Two line; repaired sidewalk at King Oak hill; built two new catch basins.
