In conclusion, we would like to report that your Committee has negotiated to acquire approximately 60 acres of land bounded by Pound Street, South Street, and Phillip Street for the use of the School Committee for a high school and junior high school. These negotiations were approved at the Town Meeting of November 26, 1956 and purchase agreements for the finalizing of these transactions have been completed. If this Committee continues in existence, it will pursue its research into the needs of parking facilities and other purposes for which the Committee was formed, having in mind that it will stear clear of the activities covered by other committees, boards or departments of the Town.

REPORT OF THE FLOOD LIAISON OFFICER
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit the first and final report of my activities as Flood Liaison Officer between August 22, 1955 and January 15, 1957.
The eastern seaboard was alerted for "Hurricane Diane" by the United States Weather Bureau. Instead of following its predicted course along the coast, it turned landward and flooded the northeastern section of the country on August 18 and 19, of 1955 with 11.94 inches of rainfall.
On August 19th at 10:00 A.M. the Board of Selectmen issued a Declaration of State Emergency and in accordance with Chapter 44 Section 31 requested an overdraft of $15,000.00 from the Director of Accounts.
On the night of August 19th and until the water sufficiently sub- sided, barricades were erected where necessary to prevent motorists from being submerged, police and others directed traffic around the Town inasmuch as the Town had become a peninsula, and the Highway Department stationed trucks at places where it was possible to ford the rivers.
A hundred-foot section of Farm Street, including eighty-seven feet of the retaining wall, was washed away. The wall was repaired under contract and the road was rebuilt. The Corps of Engineers participated with the State in the replacement of the road.
Other streets which were washed out were Causeway Street, Plain Street, Granite Street, Forest Street, Elm Street, Pine Street, Noon Hill Street, Rocky-Lane, Millbrook Road, Dale Street and Old Rod (a fire- Street, Rocky-Lane, Millbrook Road, Dale Street, and Old Road (a fire- lane)-all gravelled roads. Four thousand six hundred and fifty tons of gravel were used to repair the above roads.
A section of the stone culvert under North Street, carrying water from Vine Brook to Meeting House Pond, collapsed. The culvert was partially rebuilt and the road restored.
Culverts and catchbasins were repaired on Frairy Street, Upham Road, Philip Street, Vinald Road and High Street.
Because of the danger of disease from overflown cesspools the Selectmen instructed the Tree Warden to have an aerial spray made. The aerial spray cost $712.50 and was not reimburseable by the State.
Temporary electrical repairs were made to the main conduit in
39
the North Street School and later permanent repairs were made by installing an overhead service from the service entrance to the meter board. The sump pumps at the North Street School were also repaired.
The sewer main at Frairy Street, Vinald Road and Upham Road was repaired.
The Selectmen made attempts to persuade the Corps of Engineers to clean out Vine Brook. The Engineers inspected the brook but found it uneligible under Public Law 875. The culvert under Brook Street was examined and found to be free. At the same time the approaches to the culvert was deepened and the brook cleaned for about 150 feet on the downstream side.
In the summer of 1956 a 36-inch armco metal culvert was installed under Harding Street to replace a stone culvert that had collapsed.
Under date of January 25, 1957, the Town received its last claim for reimbursement from the Flood Relief Board.
A general recapitulation of expenditures and reimbursements is as follows:
Expenditures:
Emergency repairs to pulic facilities and guarding devastated area
$8,842.56
Emergency repairs to public buildings
202.60
Permanent repairs to public buildings
175.00
Permanent repairs to Farm Street
1,892.98

State (Flood Relief Board)
11,009.58
12,915.53
Overdraft
1,144.13
$14,059.66
The completion of the flood work extended over a period of sixteen months and involved a considerable amount of tedious procedure and impeccable accuracy. Of patient assistance in preparing the various
40
forms was Mrs. Gwendolyn Suereth and Mrs. Marie Burke. Mr. Roy Owen provided detailed information of the work of the Street Depart- ment which facilitated the preparation of records for the auditors of the Federal and State governments.
Mr. Barney Sheridan, District Liaison Officer for the Department of Public Works co-operated to the fullest extent in matters pertaining to the repairs of public ways.
Many others co-operated in work involved in obtaining the reim- bursements for the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM E. MCCARTHY, Flood Liaison Officer
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The annual report of the Street Department for the year 1956 is herewith submitted:
BRUSH. The purposes of controlling brush growth are several. The appearance of the slopes and sides of the roads are improved. The elimination of brush provides in some areas where sidewalks do not exist a place for pedestrians to walk as well as a turn out for vehicles needing repairs. Damage to vehicles from overhanging brush particu- larly when wet or laden with snow is prevented. The use of the full width of the roads, which in many instances are narrow, is afforded. Drifting of snow on to the highways is averted when there is no brush to hold it and plowing and widening can be made without interference. Among the many practical reasons for cutting roadside brush as important as any is the improved vision at corners and intersections.
In addition to the mowing of roadside grass along the public ways brush was cut along South, Granite, Plain, Curve, Cross, Philip, Foun- dry, North, Winter, Green, West, Grove, Bridge and Hartford streets which is over nine and one-half miles on either side of the roads.
41
The disbursements for the Brush Account are as follows:
Appropriation
$2,000.00
Expenditures:
Labor
$1,662.55
292.00
Mowing Machine Hire Tools
45.23
$1,999.78
Balance to Revenue
.22
$2,000.00
SIDEWALKS. The amount appropriated for repairing sidewalks has remained the same since 1947. During the past ten years there have been 28 articles in the warrants for the construction or recon- struction of sidewalks. Only seven have been constructed or recon- structed.
The disbursements of the Sidewalk Account are as follows:
Appropriation
$500.00
Transfer from Reserve Fund
1.30
$501.30
Expenditures:
Labor
$403.20
Materials
98.10
$501.30
PUBLIC DUMP. Refuse is pushed over weekly by the Street Department. Occasionally the rubbish is so heavy or frozen that it is necessary to hire a larger machine.
The Street Department has tried over the years to facilitate the dumping of refuse by providing separate areas for dumping refuse and brush. The general area for dumping has been shortened by hauling in gravel fill. The erection of a fence on the southerly line will further reduce the area and the cost of maintenance.
With the improvement of the dumping area, the disposal of refuse by the townspeople has also improved.
It is anticipated that another fence will have to be erected on the westerly side of Grove Street to prevent the dispersal of papers to the lots adjoining Grove Street which will be built upon in the future.
The disbursements of the Dump Account are as follows:
Appropriation Transfer from Reserve Fund
$1,000.00 75.00
$1,075.00
42
Expenditures: Payroll Machinery Hire
$ 775.50 299.50
$1,075.00
SNOW AND SANDING. In order that the voters understand the snow appropriation it is necessary that they realize that the fiscal year divides the winter season. Funds appropriated in March are for expen- ditures up to the time of the Town Meeting and for estimated costs up to December 31st of the same year. On January 1 of each year a new budget starts although there is no appropriation.
Although weather is unpredictable some of the financial elements of uncertainty are eliminated by the knowledge of the actual cost of removing snow during the two worst months of the year which occur before the town meeting. Appended to the actual cost up to the Town Meeting is a normal allowance for the months of March and April, the costs of dismantling and storing equipment, and other miscellaneous work. In the Fall, preparation for the winter are made by painting, if necessary, the plows, repairing lifts, attaching blades and frames, check- ing the engines and auxiliary engines of the equipment, storing salt, screening sand, erecting snow fence, setting guide stakes and other miscellaneous work. An allowance for plowing and sanding during a normal month of December is made. There is little variance in the actual cost of salt and sand. From the above it should be evident that although there are some contingent factors in computing a snow budget there are also determined factors upon which to predicate a reasonably accurate budget under normal seasonal conditions.
The appropriations to the Snow Account for 1956 were as follows:
Annual Town Meeting
$11,000.00
Overdraft (included in 1956 tax rate)
7,000.00
Transfer Special Town Meeting
2,700.00
Transfer from Reserve Fund

CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE. The State and County contribute on a tertiary basis toward the maintenance of roads, for which they originally participated in the cost of construction.
The appropriation of $1,000.00 of the towns is merged with equal shares of the County and State for maintenance of the following roads:
High Street
8,078 feet
Main Street
16,100 feet
North Street
10,800 feet
Spring Street
5,000 feet
Hospital Road
4,200 feet
44,178 feet
or 8.35 miles
A mix and place surface was applied to Main Street between Bridge Street and Turnpike Bridge, a distance of 1700 feet.
Deep and dangerous sags were built up on other parts of Main Street and Spring Street with patch mixed inexpensively on an aban- doned section of Route 27 near the State Hospital.
The disbursements of the Chapter 90 Maintenance Account were as follows:
Appropriation and allotments
$3,000.00
Transfer from Reserve Fund
1.28
$3,001.28
Expenditures:
Labor
$ 841.60

$2,997.28
Balance to Revenue

$3,001.28

CHAPTER 81. The Chapter 81 program is a partnership between the State and the Town for the repair and improvement of roads. The State contributes $275.00 per mile and the Town is required to con- tribute $150.00 per mile for the 43.5 (44 miles) of town roads which makes available the total sum of $18,700.00.
The primary function of this account is asphalt surface treatments of existing roads. Patchwork, calcium treatments, drainage, and grav- elling roads are also accomplished under this account.
The disbursements of the Chapter 81 account are as follows: Appropriations $6,600.00 12,100.00 Allotment, State
$18,700.00
44
Expenses: Labor Materials Machinery Hire
$8,019.00
4,527.51
6,154.16
$18,700.67
HIGHWAYS. The scope of work and expenditures under the Highway Account are varied and supports other highway projects. It is analagous to an anchor account. Traffic signs are erected, street lines painted, bridges are maintained, guard rails erected, streets are patched, bridges repaired and equipment repaired and many miscellaneous jobs are performed.
There are 60 roads in the Town which total 43.53 miles. Ten miles of the existing public ways are gravelled roads. Twenty-three percent of the highways are route roads. Three additional miles of roads have been accepted in the past ten years. 2.68 miles have been accepted since 1952 when the Highway Account was last increased. In addition to an increase in the miles of ways that must be repaired and maintained in the last five years, the cost of materials, equipment parts, and gasoline has increased substantially.
Therefore, an increase in the Highway Appropriation will be necessary if the same repairs and maintenance is expected.
The distribution of the Highway Account is as follows:
Appropriation
$20,200.00
Expenditures:
Labor
$11,619.16
Machinery Hire
1,329.75
Materials
1,597.63
Equipment and Parts
1,829.80
Supplies
3,071.57
Engineering
723.25
$20,171.16
Balance to Revenue
28.84
$20,200.00
In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the Highway Depart- ment and other town departments for their cooperation during the year. Also of invaluable assistance is Mr. Henry Walsh, the Chapter 81 Engineer of the Department of Public Works, who is always available for sound advice as a result of his many years of experience. The pro- grams in which the State participate have improved greatly during the four years that he has been assigned to the Town. All of the engineers of the Department of Public Works are most cooperative and helpful
45
in their special fields of activity.
Mr. Charles Cain has helped the Highway Department in many respects during the past year. The Selectmen have devoted a great amount of their time to the problems of the Highways Department and their interest and assistance is appreciated.
It has also been a pleasure to meet and confer with the townspeople during the year.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E. MCCARTHY, Superintendent of Streets
