The work on the highways has been under the direction of Mr. Dow, who has superintended nearly all the work performed. We advertised for proposals to furnish gravel by the cubic yard for grading on Main street, near the resi- dence of Mrs. Flint. No bids were received. The town should take action to procure gravel for grading, either by purchase or by laying out pits as provided by law. In some cases during the past year we have been obliged to cart gravel a mile or more, and in one case have been out- side the limits of our town to procure suitable grade.
94
The wages paid in this department have been as follows : laborers, 20 cents per hour ; horse and cart, 20 cents per hour ; labor on stone work, 25 cents per hour ; superintend- ent, 30 cents per hour ; breaking snow path, 25 cents per hour for man and 25 cents per hour for each horse.
We have caused stone bounds to be placed on Maple street, Byron street and Yale avenue. We have also placed signs at the entrance of all private ways.
By a vote of the town we were charged with the duty of purchasing a Street Roller. A contract was made with Geo. T. Mclaughlin & Co., of Boston, who furnished us with a first class roller for $200, the amount appropriated by the town.
The town should take some action to provide a suitable building in which to store the Road Scraper, Roller, Snow Ploughs and other tools used in this department ..
The contract for concrete walks, gutters and crossings was awarded to White Bros. of No. Abington. The amount of work performed is shown in the financial statement. The work marked "special" was on Central street in front of the residence of W. K. Perkins, the walk having been concreted several years ago by Mr. Perkins, at his own expense, and a contract was made to do the work at 25 cents per cubic yard, the town allowing Mr. Perkins 17 cents per yard, the same as allowed on new work.
