REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR.
- -- -
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
GENTLEMEN :
I submit the following annual report on the roads for the year just past.
This past year restrictions on road materials were lifted which helped considerably; however, due to the labor short- age and reductions in allotments by the State and Town, roads could not be repaired as promptly and efficiently as de- sired.
CHAPTER 81.
Appropriations by the State and Town to Chapter 81 were expended as follows:
(1) 20,000 gallons of tar and asphalt were applied on sections of North Avenue, Pleasant Street, Park Street, Bel- lingham Street, Bates Street, Old State Highway, Washing- ton Street, and Hopedale Street. Due to the lack of funds, we were unable to furnish these roads an armor coat of stone which would have made them more durable.
(2) Approximately 760 yards of gravel was required on the further end of Blackstone Street to make the road usable for the winter.
(3) 200 yards of gravel was used on the Old Hartford Pike to make the road somewhat passable.
(4) 150 feet of open ditch drainage was constructed on Mr. Kinnecome's land on Washington Street.
35
(5) George Street, Hartford Avenue, West and Pleas- ant Streets were scarified and re-shaped, but a sufficient amount of gravel could not be applied due to insufficient funds.
(6) All of Main Street and Maple Street were furnished a complete coating of tar, as well as the intersection at Shat- tuck's Store. A heavier tar than usual was applied to these places so as to provide a more substantial tread.
(7) A considerable amount of brush was cut on all Chapter 81 roads.
CHAPTER 90.
Appropriations by the State and Town to Chapter 90 were expended as follows :
(1) All waterways and ditches of Chapter 90 roads were cleared.
(2) The following roads were given an application of tar or asphalt :
(a) Sections of Hartford Avenue East.
(b) Chapter 90 Section of North Avenue.
(c) Northbridge Street, all but, approximately, one-quarter of a mile was coated.
(d) Section of Providence Street from Blackstone line to Main Street.
(e) Millville Street, all but, approximately, one- quarter of a mile was coated.
(3) Brush cutting on all Chapter 90 roads.
In concluding I want to thank the Board of Selectmen and Townspeople for their cooperation and kindness during my terms in office.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR A. SABATINELLI,
Highway Surveyor.
