ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Committee appointed to present to the 1920 Town Meeting a Program of Road Building
January 16th there was held a meeting of this committee, namely, Mr. Ralph Earle, Mr. C. C. Mar- ble, together with the three selectmen and Mr. D. F. Lane and myself at Mr. Lane's house.
We went over this question of roads in an ef- fort to try to devise some plan, that would be apt to prove the most satisfactory to the whole town.
The four pieces of road, that were under discus- sion were the following :
Resurfacing of Main street, in South Digh-
ton, estimated cost, $ 5,300
Elm street, from the Somerset line to Hart street, estimated cost, 21,300
Center street to Williams street, estimated cost, 15,370
New Bridge, estimated cost, 3,374
Williams street from Taunton Pike, south- erly to macadam, estimated cost, 14,700
Forrest street, estimated cost, 20,290
You will note the total for all these roads is something over $80,000, a good deal more than we can possibly expect to build in one year.
After a deal of discussion, we concluded we would recommend to the town the following:
73
ANNUAL REPORT
Allowance for part of road at Broad Cove, $12,500 Resurfacing Main street, 5,300
Bridge, 3,500
Williams street, 10,000
Wall along the river on Lincoln avenue, 2,500
This recommendation was arrived at for the fol- lowing reasons : We felt unable to build all the road, that has been asked for at Broad Cove in one year and we felt some provision should be made to build part of the road in Broad Cove this year anyway. It appears Main street in South Digh- ton is badly in need of re-surfacing, and that it is go- ing to cost more to do this work the longer it is de- layed. The selectmen feel the bridge at the Brick is unsafe and should be replaced this year. We felt Williams street from the Providence Pike South is ravelling badly, that there is a good surface to build on this next year and that it will cost more to do Williams street if the job is delayed.
You know we are getting considerable help from the state on the plea Williams street is a through highway and it seems consistent we should clean up this job on Williams street before beginning to build the East and West connections.
To judge from the time it takes to do bridge work, it would look like good judgment not to try to do the extension of macadam on Center street in the same year the bridge is built.
