Road Report
To the Selectmen:
It is my privilege to submit the following as a road report for the year 1924:
The work during 1924 was carried out under exceedingly favorable circumstances, both as concerning the weather and the labor conditions. Only one storm caused washouts and those were of only minor importance. Labor was plentiful and efficient. Wages until September 1 were the same as during the previous year. After that date there was a drop that allowed a longer period of employment before the appro- priation was used and at a time when work was not plentiful. It also resulted in more construction than would have been possible at the old prices.
In some ways the work this year has been of a little differ- ent character than has ever been done before. In the first place the town is getting some mileage of gravel surfaced roads and more maintenance work is necessary to keep the surface from becoming "washboardy". With dry weather, such as we have had the past scason, it is hardly possible to keep the surface of a gravel road entirely smooth, but I think my report will not be questioned when I say that the gravel road running north from the village reached a state of perfection never approached before. I do not mean to say that it is impossible to make it any better. Gravel from the North Sunderland pit packs very slowly and needs a lot of working to make a smooth surface.
The second point of difference from other season's work is the straightening and widening that has been done on some roads. The long hill on the Upper Montague Road was widened
16
considerably by blasting and excavating. The widening process served also to give a better vision ahead which amounts to practically the same as would a straightening. The dangerous curve at Highland Point was cleaned up and widened somewhat. This should make the curve considerably more safe for traffic. Blasting was resorted to at several places along the Upper Montague Road and at one very bad place in the Leverett-Mon- tague Road, which should make for safety at these places. This blasting was made possible by having a state owned air compresser which operated hammers and drills. No rent was charged the town but operating expenses had to be met from our funds. If the town continues under the same agreement with the state another year, we have the promise of the first use of this compressor in the spring.
One of the cover stones over the culvert north of C. I. Gunn's house broke early in the season and the whole culvert has now been concreted and will hold the heaviest loads that will pass that way. The culverts on the Long Hill mentioned in the preceding paragraph have been lengthened. The one at the foot of the hill should be extended this coming season because of the heavy traffic that now uses that road.
Another section of road with stone base and gravel surface was constructed on Middle Lane and another section of the same type at the curve near the old Beaman place. The latter was done to eliminate the water that formerly came up through the old road surface. It appears to have accomplished the purpose. About three more years at the present rate of progress will give the people living on the back road, so-called, good access to their places with autos at all seasons and I recommend that work be continued this year on this road.
As you will see by the tabulation in this report not a great deal of work was done on the Bull Hill Road. The surface of this road is much improved over its former condition and pro- bably will require less work in the future. Some work was done toward widening the curves on the hill and should be continued.
The Plain Road had a considerable amount of gravel and should have more another year. The same can be said of Meadow Street. The River Road had some gravel, and if the
17
petition for more is any criterion of the interest in that road, considerable money will be required there.
Only one section of the Pound Road had a coating of tarvia this past season. The effect of this was plainly shown by the amount of patching necessary on the remainder of the road. It is my opinion that a skim coat of tarvia should be applied to this road every year and thereby put off the evil day when it will become necessary to resurface it.
Hungarian Avenue has been kept in only passable shape. Some move should be made soon to improve this road if for no other reason than to allow the residents to reach their homes by auto at the rate of speed quite generally considered as necessary in this age.
The greatest need of the town as far as the roads are con- cerned is a gravel crusher. If the town had a portable crusher, gravel could be applied cheaper than at present and the stones, which are now continually coming to the surface of the road and which if crushed would make a longer wearing road, would not have to be raked up and drawn away. The purchase of such a crusher which could be made now for around $3,000 should receive careful consideration.

The above work was done under supervision of the Depart- ment of Public Works, Division of Highways, under Chap. 81, General Laws, as has all of our road work for the past several years.
'In addition to this work another section of road has been built this year under the supervision of the same department but under Chap. 90, General Laws, which requires state, county and town funds to be spent together. This section of road consisted of about 800 feet of stone base and gravel surface 18 feet wide, which was built on the road leading past the Robinson place, so-called, at North Sunderland, commencing at the culvert at the foot of the hill and extending northerly. This section was built to line and grade on what has been laid out as a possible future state highway and at what was considered to be the worst section of this road.
Respectfully submitted,
T. L. WARNER, Superintendent of Roads.

Forest Warden's Report
During the year 1924 we had only one fire of any account or any cost.
On November 5th, there was a fire on the State Reserva- tion, set by the engine on the C. V. R. R. and burned over about one acre of brush land; damage very slight. On account of being so dry, it cost $41.50 to extinguish it, which amount was fully paid by the railway company.
We have issued 18 permits for fires, and refused as many more on account of the dry weather.
We have purchased 8 fire extinguishers at a cost of $92; 2 dozen round point shovels at a cost of $24, one-half re- funded by the state.
We have posted a number of forest fire posters.
Respectfully submitted,
A. C. WARNER, Forest Warden.

RESOLUTIONS ON THE LOSS, BY DEATH, OF MRS. ELOISE T. FAIRCHILD, TRUSTEE OF SUNDERLAND LIBRARY SINCE 1896. SECRETARY OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES SINCE 1911.
We, the trustees of the Sunderland Library, realize our great loss in the death of our efficient secretary, Mrs. Eloise T. Fairchild. Since coming to Sunderland thirty years ago she always has had a potent, active, interest in every thing that pertained to education.
Her intelligent and unselfish service for the Library and other organiza- tions of the community will not be forgotten while those who were her associates and friends remain.
Resolved: We record our deep sense of personal and community loss and extend to the family our sincerest sympathy.
Resolved: That a copy of this expression be placed on the records of the library and that a copy be sent to the family.
GEORGE P. SMITH, President of the Trustees.
