Arlington Avenue.
The first work of any magnitude, as was recommended in my last report, was on that portion of the avenue from the old brick School-house, over the hill at the foot of the Rocks, a distance of 2,000 feet.
The hill was excavated a depth of three feet at the highest point, which has left a very easy grade. The whole was macadamized with crushed stone, coated with blue gravel, and is now one of the best portions of the avenue. The gravel, about 1,600 loads, taken from the hill, was utilized upon Lowell Street, thereby much improving that street ; the whole being done at less than the estimated cost of ex- cavating and macadamizing that part of the avenue.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Hollows or depressions have been repaired during the sea- son by filling with fine crushed stone. I find this experi- ment has proved a success, inasmuch as the foundation of the street has been left intact, and the expense of picking has been saved. It was thought that stone thus used would not remain but work out by the action of the wheels ; but I find that by putting it on when the street is wet, with a very little fine screened gravel, it treads and becomes one solid por- tion of the macadamized roadbed. I would suggest, as in my last report, that that part of the avenue from Alewife Brook to a point near the residence of H. D. Durgin, be scraped and crowned with stone and gravel. Also the sec- tion from Pattee's crossing to Water Street, which is almost always wet and muddy, and has become very rough and un- even, demands early attention. Nothing has been done upon the section near Lexington line, except to fill the ruts with cracked stone. I recommend that a part or the whole be macadamized the ensuing year, and you will thereby se- cure a macadamized street, the entire length of the town.
Appleton Street.
The brush has been cut, gutters cleared, and some gravel used. Repairs are needed on the upper portion, near Lex- ington.
Broadway.
No general repairs have been made this year upon this street. The portion from Warren Street to Alewife Brook needs early attention. In fact, something will soon need to be done the entire length from Webster Street.
Bow Street.
The great amount of surface water coming from the av- enue into this street has caused a great deal of trouble to
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
the residents and the travelling public, by its overflowing and freezing in winter, at times rendering it almost impassa- ble. A culvert and water grate have been put in near the house of A. W. Isle, carrying the water through the land of Elbridge Farmer to the stream in the rear. This will, I think, obviate the difficulty.
Claremont Avenue.
This street, recently accepted by the town, has been placed in good condition. The loam was removed, the hill near Wollaston Avenue excavated, and the entire length at a width of 25 feet, crowned with blue gravel. A portion near Florence Avenue, which was very wet and springy, was filled to a depth of 15 inches with field and cobble stones. Although the material for this, and two other streets, of which mention will be made hereafter, had to be hauled quite a distance, and up a very steep grade, the work has been accomplished for something less than the original estimate.
Chestnut Street.
This street has been lightly coated with gravel, the gutters cleared, and is in a very good condition.
Decatur Street.
This street, although having been sometime accepted, has never been fully completed. The section near River Street, has this year been located and graded. A few loads of gravel are needed near North Union Street, which will place it in fair condition.
Lowell Street.
About half the length of this street has been crowned, and gravelled. The material used came from the hill, ex-
SELECTMEN'S REPORT. 11
cavated on the main avenue, consequently the expense was not great. The remaining part of the street very much needs repair. That portion near the reservoir being very flat and wet, caused by numerous springs, should be repaired principally with stone.
Medford Street.
A section of this street, from Arlington Avenue to the house of Chas. Gott, has been crowned with from. 8 to 10 inches of crushed stone and 2 inches of screened gravel, thoroughly rolled, which now makes a very even, smooth road. The remainder is in a rough, uneven condition, and another section, if not the whole, should be repaired the ensuing season.
Oakland Avenue
Recently accepted as a town way, has been gravelled and put in good condition.
Park Avenue.
A portion of this avenue has been regravelled in the cen- tre, and is now in a very good condition. The material used was furnished by Dr. Dio Lewis, and, being in the vicinity of the place where needed, the expense was comparatively small.
Winter Street
Is quite rough and uneven, and some portions, flat and muddy, need repair. There being considerable heavy teaming through this street, it should be repaired princi- pally with stone.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Wollaston Avenue
Another street recently accepted by the town, has been put in good condition by crowning with stone and gravel.
Guide Boards.
No new boards have been erected this year. Those in position are generally in good condition. A few will be needed to fulfil the requirements of law.
