REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
476 Main Street, Worcester, Mass.,
March 13, 1925.
BOARD OF SELECTMEN, MENDON, MASS.
Gentlemen :-
The following is a list of the roads in the Town of Mendon, giving the names, approximate mileage, and the proportional allotment for each.
This allotment does not mean that this amount must be spent upon each road, but only enough to put the roads in a good passable condition, care being taken of the drainage, culverts, and brush work along the roads, with necessary repairs for the year.
In no case must the amount spent upon each road exceed the allotment unless it is absolutely necessary, in which case an order must first be obtained from the State Engineer before doing so.
All money, if any, saved during the year from these allot- ments may later be spent for permanent improvements where necessary.
