REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen-


I herewith submit the report of the Street Department for the year 1911:


ROADS AND BRIDGES.


On Main street, between Court and Leyden streets, a Tar- viated macadam surface has been put on to the existing ma- cadam street. The object in doing this was to give it a better wearing surface, to make it more easily kept clean and to improve the grades, which, at some points, were not satis- factory; and also to eliminate the crossings, which are always an objectionable feature to people using the street for driving and motoring purposes. The grades at the entrances to North and Middle streets have been changed, so that much better approaches to these streets have been obtained. The old sur- face was picked up with the steam roller and a layer of No. 2 stone was put on and thoroughly rolled, after which Tarvia X-II was applied hot at the rate of two gallons per square yard. Another layer of No. 2 stone was then put on and rolled lightly and a second application of Tarvia, three-quar- ters of a gallon per square yard, was made. This was covered with a coating of sharp, clean sand. This work cost $1,821.57. There are 2,600 square yards of surface treated, making the cost per square yard 70 cents.


Considerable work has been done on the road leading from Long Pond to Cedarville in widening, grading and covering, the amount expended here being $1,075. This work completes


-38-


quite extensive repairs which have been made on this road and leaves the entire surface in good condition for travel.


On the Chiltonville road, between Morton's corner and the factory of the Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Company, a sec- tion of road which was very clayey has been excavated and a foundation of rubble stone put in to a depth of eighteen inches, after which a top surface of gravel was applied. This has so far worked well. The cost of this work was $450.


The Roads and Bridges appropriation for 1911 was, $18,000 00 Undrawn balance from 1910, 828 62 Reimbursements,


3,307 04


$22,135 66


Expenditures,


25,156 29


Overdraft,


$3,020 63


From this amount of overdraft should be deducted the crushed stone stored on the Oak street lot. It was deemed expedient, while running the crusher at this location, to draw in and crush all the stone available in that section, as the cost of this stone was but $1.00 per ton crushed and banked on the lot, thus securing a large amount of good road build- ing material at a very low price. Of this stone there was banked 2,680 tons, of which 291 tons have been used or sold and the proceeds credited to the Roads and Bridges account, leaving 2,389 tons still stored at Oak street. At $1.00 per ton this stone would amount to $2,389, which being deducted from the overdraft of $3,020.63, would leave a net deficit of $631.63.


As the estimates for this and other road work were made before the 20 per cent. increase in the price of labor was voted, it will easily be seen that this overdraft is more than accounted for.


-39-


SUMMER STREET.


This street was built in the following manner: The sub- grade was carefully prepared and a layer four inches thick,. after being rolled, of No. 1 stone, was put on and bound with screened gravel. Then another layer of the stone, two inches thick after being rolled, was put on and two gallons per square yard of Tarvia X-II was applied hot. On the easterly portion a coating of screened sand was applied and rolled in. This was carefully swept and an application of one-half gallon per square yard of Tarvia put on and a covering of pea stone rolled in. On the westerly section the first application of Tarvia X-II was covered with a thin layer of No. 2 stone, which, after being rolled, was treated to a second coat of Tarvia, one-half gallon per square yard, and this covered by screened sand. The result obtained by the latter method was a mosaic surface, which will not be as slippery as the usual Tarviated macadam. This work extends from Market street to Newfield street, a distance of 840 feet.

DARBY ROAD.


- An appropriation of $5,000.00 was made to extend the Darby macadam road and a section 3,500 feet in length was graded for macadam. This included the hill near Mr. Dow- sett's house, the top of which was cut three feet and the ma-


-40-


terial used to widen the road at the foot of the hill. After completing this section of macadam it was found that not all of the appropriation had been used, so the work was ex- tended 1,300 feet, making 4,800 feet in all. The total length of macadam on this road is two and two-thirds miles, the width being 15 feet of macadam six inches thick, with a three-foot shoulder on each side, making a total width of road of 21 feet. The surface has been protected with a covering of sharp, clean sand, which has been renewed when necessary at a very small cost. The sand covering on this road has proven very satisfactory, the first application on the 4,800 foot section cost- ing $52.80, while the old section, 9,180 feet long, where it was renewed cost but $15.00. The cost per square yard for this work was 65 cents, including grading and covering the finished . surface with sand.


The appropriation for the Darby road was,


$5,000 00

COURT STREET.


For this work the sum of $6,500.00 was appropriated, the distance being about the same as last year, 3,800 feet, but after the estimate was made the width was changed from a uniform width of 17 feet of last year to an average width of 22 feet, thus increasing the area about 30 per cent. When worked this street was widened, under a decree of the County Com- missioners, from Cherry street north to the corner of the


-41-


Cordage Company's land, the greatest gain in width being 10 feet. This street is a strong six-inch Tarviated macadam road. Two and three-quarters gallons of Tarvia X-II per square yard was used in two applications, a mosaic surface being desired so as to afford a good footing for horses.


The appropriation for Court street was,


$6,500 00

$7,290 57


Expenditures,


10,610 70


Overdraft,


$3,320 13


From this overdraft should be deducted the cost of stone banked on this work, 718 tons, which at $1.00 per ton would amount to $718.00, leaving a net overdraft of $2,602.13. This overdraft can more than be accounted for by the 30 per cent. increase in the width of the road and the 20 per cent. increase in the cost of labor.


NEW ROADS.


The widening of Water street, which was begun last year, has been completed and was a much needed improvement. It was widened 25 feet at the greatest point. The concrete work at the dam has also been finished and a new fence built on the west side. The expenditure for this work was $441.66.


A small amount of work has been done on Summer street above Billington street, and it is hoped that this work will be finished in 1912. The expenditure for this work was $98.00.


Under a decree of the County Commissioners, the east side of Court street, from Cherry street to the corner of the Cordage


-42-


Company's land, a distance of 1,500 feet, has been widened, the width at the greatest point being about 10 feet. A retain- ing wall 150 feet long has been laid near the Hedge residence and a guard rail built on the same. The cost of this work was $887.24.


The sum of $50.00 has been expended for engineering ex- penses on new roads.


The appropriation for New Roads was,


$4,000 00


Expenditures for 1911,


$2,112 30


Overdraft for 1910,

$2,165 46


Leaving an undrawn balance of $1,834 54.


STATE HIGHWAY.


The State Highway Tax for 1911 was $365.50.


An allotment of $10,000.00 was made by the Highway Com- mission for the state roads in this town for 1911. The State Highway located in this town is described as follows:


Macadam with oil surface, 31,293 feet


Oil and sand road, built in 1911, 7,280 feet


Oil and sand road, built in 1909 and 1910, 5,700 feet.


Making a total of 44,273 feet or a little over eight and one-third miles. In addition to this. there is under construction a section of new road, 5,700 feet. (one and one-twelfth miles) in length. This section leaves- the line of the old road at Ship Pond village and passes to the westward of Mr. Hatch's bog, thereby making the road more nearly straight and shortening the distance by about 1,700 feet. The remaining distance between the end of this section and the Bourne line at Sagamore is about three and one-half miles.


-43-


SIDEWALKS.


Sidewalks have been rebuilt with ashes and surfaced with crushed stone on the following streets-


On the west side of Standish avenue, between


Samoset and Alden streets, 1,904 feet


On the west side of Court street, from Savery's lane north, 862 feet


On the east side of Court street, from Cherry street to the Kingston line,


3,800 feet


On Lothrop street,


1,176 feet


On Bay View avenue,


1,187 feet


On the south side of Summer street, from Wil- lard place to Spring street,


423 feet


On Mayflower street, 800 feet


On Washington street, 400 feet


Curb of granite block pavers has been laid as follows-


On Bay View avenue,


480 feet


On Davis street,


264 feet


On Court street, 891 feet


The sidewalk on High street, between Russell and Bartlett streets, has been resurfaced with concrete, 1,650 square feet having been laid. Also on Russell street, between Allerton and Stoddard streets, where 2,310 square feet were laid.


Granolithic sidewalk has been laid on the east side of Court street, near Howland street, 315 square feet having been put in at a cost of $35.00 to the Town, one-half the cost being paid by the abutter.


The appropriation for sidewalks for 1911 was, $3,000 00

There are on hand 5,000 granite block pavers, which cost $65.00 per thousand, amounting to $325.00, which nearly off- sets the overdraft.


SEWERS.


It has been found necessary to replace the wooden outlet to the North Plymouth sewer, and 1,400 feet of 12 inch iron pipe has been purchased for that purpose and paid for from the sewer account. It is planned to put this in in 1912. There was also purchased and paid for from this account 400 feet of six inch Akron pipe for the sewer at Magoni terrace, the property owners paying the cost of laying this.

WELLINGSLEY SEWER.


This sewer was begun late in the year and work on it was "discontinued before completion on account of the lateness of the season. Most of the supplies for this work have been pur- chased and paid for and are on hand in readiness for the


-45-


continuance of the work in the spring. The pipe from Hobb's Hole brook to the shore has been laid and from the same point along Sandwich street to Jabez corner, a total distance. of 2,870 feet; and eight manholes have been built in the same. The appropriation for Wellingsley sewer was, $6,000 00


Payments for labor and supplies, 5,766 77


Leaving an undrawn balance of $233 23


There will be a credit of $100.00 for iron pipe on hand, which will not be used on this work, but will be taken by the Street Department for use in the streets.


STREET SPRINKLING.


The use of emulsifying oil for street sprinkling has been continued, a larger amount being used this year than last. Four tank car loads of Standard Oil, 13 per cent., and one tank car of Barrett Mfg. Co.'s oil of the same grade have been used. This was not entirely satisfactory on the main streets of the Town, as the greater amount of travel on these streets neces- sitated a too frequent application of the oil. On the side streets. it worked better and on the steep grades it prevented washing to a great extent, as well as laying the dust. I would recom- mend a heavier oil on the main streets.
