ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my first annual report as the Superin- tendent of Streets for the year 1960. The program for all Highway work was established after the Town Meeting, when the Selectmen and the State Aid Engineers agreed to the various projects to be undertaken. All State Aid work was completed before Deceember 1, which is the deadline. However, because of hurricane "Donna" of September 12, the Town program of general highway maintenance and im- provement was delayed.
I recommend that consideration be given to appropriating like amounts for general highway improvements and that serious thought be directed toward more and modern equip- ment for the Department.
I appreciate the cooperation of the Board and also express my gratitude to Mr. Parker Carr, Engineer of Public Works, for his advice and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND COSTA, Superintendent of Streets
