The money appropriated for the roads the past year has been expended in a somewhat different manner than that of previous years. In the spring the commissioners found that a more economical method must be adopted in the repairing of the roads than that of carting gravel long distances and ap- plying heavy coats of gravel on roads that were already too high and had in years past been abundantly graveled. Therefore quite a large proportion of the money has been used in reshap- ing a number of the roads in the different parts of the town where repairs seemed to be most needed, bringing back into the center of the road the good material that had worked from the centre to the shoulders of the roads and working the poorer material into the gutters making the roads wider and safer, and in some places shaping sidewalks at very little ex- pense, making some places safe for public travel that have in the past been dangerous.


The appropriation for Osier street has been expended on said street, in reshaping a portion and graveling the entire length, making an improvement which we think will prove satisfactory to the town and will require but little repairing for several years.


Holmes and Millet streets have been built as laid out by the Road Commissioners, expending the appropriation made for that purpose, completing the streets in a manner to meet the requirements of the town.


Believing it poor judgment to build sidewalks and allow them to be blocked up with snow at the season when most needed, the commissioners have had six snow plows made and placed for use in the different parts of the town at a cost of fifty dollars, which has been paid out of the appropriation for highways.


We recommend the town to appropriate the sum of thirty- five hundred dollars for the repairs of roads and sidewalks for the ensuing year.
