Road Report
January 11, 1929
To the Selectmen:
A few points in connection with the 1929 road work that would seem worth mentioning are as follows:
1. Construction on the North Sunderland road, under Chapter 90, was carried ahead about 2,000 feet this past season, passing the bridge at Chard's Pond but without laying out much money there. The State engineers at Greenfield worked out a very satisfactory scheme to eliminate the re-construction of the bridge and although the road there is not too wide now, is much safer than before and will probably do until through traf- fic gets to using it heavily. One more year, with perhaps a little more money from the state, ought to complete the same type of road to the Montague line.
2. The application of tarine, covered with pea stone, on the macadam road through the meadow was started as an ex- periment to relieve the slipperiness for horses and completed after the trial had seemed to accomplish its intended purpose. The cost of this coating was heavy but will partly be repaid in a little longer life to the road surface. The expense in main- taining this road in 1930 should be small except for patching the edge of the macadam where increased traffic and speed is con- tinually wearing it away. A penetration macadam with proper foundation would reduce the upkeep to a very small amount yearly but of course, would be quite an expense for construction.
3. In the construction work on the lower end of Meadow Street gravel was substituted for the usual stone base in order to
24
cheapen the cost and get more distance in one year for the amount of money allotted. For a road which will probably never be subjected to more than local travel this type should be very satis- factory. With the same amount of money spent on this kind of construction nearly all residents on this end of the road should be able to get out in the spring after one more year.
4. Filling in the depression in front of the home of R. B. Brown resulted from the relocation of Tomoles Cross Road, so- called, last year. While the amount of gravel drawn onto this road would not be enough to keep heavy traffic out of spring mud, it does help the residents on this road considerably and might well be continued the short remaining distance to the next and last house.
5. The purchase of a used scraper from the town of Am- herst, which was too light for their heavy tractor, and replacing the worn parts, has given the town a scraper of very good make and heavy enough for our use. It is rigged at present for use behind a tractor but could be fitted for horse use.
6. The failure of the superintendent's scheme for having a light truck on the roads three days every week is the most 'noteworthy. Under the best conditions this truck would haul the road machine, but on the hills, in new gravel or on wet roads it simply would not do the work. A caterpillar tractor, now that horses are very hard to get when wanted, seems to be the best solution of the scraping problem. The truck being a failure for scraping, threw the superintendent's scheme out of joint. It might be economical for the town to own its tractor and its truck so that they might be available at just the time needed.
The table below indicates which section received the lion's share of the road money:

Forest Warden's Report
1929 was the driest summer we ever remember. We had 3 fires start in some unknown way, but as we were notified at once, they were extinguished with very little time and expense, and no damage was done.
One fire set by a man with a permit early in the season to burn a brush pile, was poorly tended and a part of our town for- est was burned over as a result.
Sunday, October 27, a fire started from some unknown cause and was burning into the woods, east of the back street. It was extinguished, before any damage was done, but for some rea- sons cost $40 to extinguish. This was double what it would have been under normal conditions.
We have room on our hose cart for 100 feet more of hose. I recommend that the town buy this amount, as we have plenty of water and good pressure. I also, recommend that the town purchase 12 round point shovels.
We issued 13 fire permits and refused a great many more.
Respectfully submitted,
A. C. WARNER, Forest Warden.
