TOWN OF ROCKLAND
Report of Highway Department Committee
Fellow Citizens :
The committee appointed by the moderator to study the needs of the Highway Department and make recommenda- tions submit the following report.
First we want to acquaint you with what the Highway Department has on hand to carry out the job of taking care of 46 miles of road and 50 miles of sidewalks:
We own six dozen lanterns.
Five dozen push brooms.
We own 33 dozen shovels, picks, stone forks.
Three pairs of rubber boots.
Three rain coats.
Six refuse barrels.
Two fifty foot clean-out snakes.
Four brush scythes.
Battery Charger.
2000 feet cement curb forms.
Two cement mixers.
Three hand rollers.
Three Wheel Barrows.
One 5 ton Caterpiller tractor, worthless.
One fordson tractor, worthless.
One rebuilt 12 ton roller.
One Burch Power sand spreader.
One Home Made sand spreader. Two Trucks.
We are inadequately equipped to do the work that the roads in a town of our mileage demands.
In view of the fact that there are many pieces of mechanized machinery needed to meet the needs of the department the committee recommends that we adopt a five year program, purchasing a piece each year, until the department is brought up to working standard.
We recommend first the purchase of the most needed machinery, a Sargent Clear Track Tractor, with overhead

SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
loader, carrying a bulldozer blade, a 21/2 yard snow bucket, and a 3/4 yard digging bucket.
This machine will do 90% of our heavy road work, both summer and winter.
It plows the snow, loads it into trucks, and will quickly clear our highway of heavy snow.
We saw this machine in practical operation in Brook- line, which town has a number of these machines and highly recommended by their highway department.
The cost $8,295.00.
The next piece needed is a Grader, approximately 5500. Then, one more sidewalk tractor, approximately 2000. Next a Ford car tank for resurfacing the streets 1000.
Next a broom attachment for sweeping our streets. This is attched to the small tractor.
That the burden will not fall too heavy on the taxpayers in any one year, we recommend this five year program.
Respectfully submitted,
ABRAHAM LELYVELD, Chairman
