REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
GENTLEMEN :
I wish to submit my report on the work of the High- way Department for the year 1937. The intention of this re- port is to furnish your board and the citizens of the town with a record of the work either started or completed under the different road contracts with the county and state during the past year.
CHAPTER 81.
Due to the flood in 1936, much of the 81 money was ex- pended for repairing washouts thereby preventing the usual maintenance work on the oiled 81 roads for that year. As a result, all of the black surfaced 81 roads were treated this year with an application of either Asphalt or Tarvia. Those in- cluded in this list were George Street, Bellingham, Washing- ton, Hopedale, Elm, Park, Maple, Blackstone, Hartford Ave. East, and Emerson Street. Altogether 20,000 gallons of as- phalt and 1500 gallons of tarvia were applied on Chapter 81.
One dangerous curve on Thornton Street was eliminated and half of the S curve on Hartford Ave. East near Swan- dale Cemetery was straightened out. For new construction, 1100 ft. on Hopedale Street, 1600 ft. on Hartford Ave. East, between the Shoddy Mill and Bicknell Cemetery, ond 5300 ft. on Bellingham Street were built, adding one and one half miles of new black road. One hundred and twenty ft. of new reinforced concrete pipe culvert was installed and thirty-two hundred ft. of drainage ditch opened up. Different amounts of gravel totaling 650 yards were spread on several gravel roads needing repairing.
30
CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE.
On maintenance work this year all six roads included under Chapter 90 work, namely North Ave., Main Street, Providence Street, Hartford Ave. East, from Green Store to Charles River, Millville Road, and Northbridge Road were tarred in those sections where drying out and cracking had started. On this particular work, 10,000 gal. of Tarvia and 700 gal. of Asphalt were applied and in most cases the roads honed after covering with sand. For this honeing operation a new steel home was bought and used, our old wooden one having rotted and of an old design not properly suited to present conditions. One half mile of road on Providence Street between Leonard's Corner and Morrison's was rebuilt and tarred, including replacement of metal culverts with re- inforced concrete pipes. Three culverts on Providence Street were lowered to better drain the road, and one drop inlet in- stalled. All drainage ditches on these roads were cleaned and where necessary the brush cut. Highway markers now required by the state on all Chapter 90 roads were erected every 1000 ft. and painted.
CHAPTER 90 NEW CONSTRUCTION (Millville and Northbridge).
This year the Town of Mendon was cut approximately $4000.00 by the county and state on both Millville and North- bridge Roads thereby cutting down new construction. Thirty- two hundred feet of 1936 contract work on both roads not completed last year, was top surfaced this year together with 1100 feet of new 1937 construction. A total of 11,000 gal. of Tarvia was applied on both pieces of new road.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
This year's work has added approximately 21/2 miles of newly surfaced road and the next few years should show almost complete conversion from gravel to macadam surfaces on our roads. With this end in view and because of the
31
amount we have already spent for tar patching and shoulder repairs on our black roads, I would suggest the purchase of a 55 gal. tar and asphalt kettle with spraying hose, out of the Road Machinery Fund, which we have built up to double the amount usually earned in a year. This kettle will pay for itself in a year's time and of course it's time while in use will be charged for in the same manner as the town grader, and all money received, revert to the Road Machinery Account.
WPA
During the past year, the WPA has done some fine work trimming trees along the road sides, removing stumps too near the traveled way and cutting brush on all roads worked on. Because of their work the town has spent nothing for brush removal this past year. From July until December the WPA in this town was dropped by the State Administra- tor and the men employed by the Highway Department. However in December the WPA was opened again and a Farm to Market Project started. This project will improve a total of one mile of road on three different roads, and when completed, will leave the roads in condition for oiling by the town on Chapter 81 work. Approved by WPA is a project for enlarging and cleaning out the present water hole near the Unitarian Church and work will be started on it later in the spring. New projects submitted for Federal grants in- clude a grading project for the New High School with new walks and drives, a new drainage project on Washington Street, abolition of the bad curve near Swandale Cemetery, manufacture and erection of concrete guard rails on roads having steep embankments and bridges, and more Farm to Market work. Without any question the town has received a good return for the money appropriated for WPA work, but if it is to continue, the town will have to increase the year's appropriation, due to the fact the Federal government will no longer provide trucking or materials of any kind. At present there are employed on WPA projects in this town
