Arlington Avenue.
The first principal work of the season was the repairing of this street, from Pattee's crossing to Water Street, and from Alewife Brook to near Teel Street, which was done by scrap- ing the roadbed, and crowning it with crushed stone and gravel. This method of repairing has proved a success, and these sections are in excellent condition, and bid fair to re- main so for some time to come. The portion of the avenue from Park Avenue to Lexington line has been placed in good condition by crowning with stone and gravel. Ruts and hollows have been repaired with finely screened crushed stone.
Academy Street.
This street is in good condition, the gutters having been cleared, and the roadbed re-gravelled from the avenue to the Academy grounds.
Appleton Street.
A part of this street has been re-gravelled, and the hollow near Oakland Avenue has been filled with stone and gravel.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Broadway.
A portion of this street has been thoroughly repaired (about 1,200 feet) by cutting down the shoulders of the roadbed and crowning the centre with blue gravel. Al- though the material has to be hauled a long distance, making the repairs quite expensive, yet we think that the citizens will see the advisibility of completing the remainder of the street in the same way the ensuing year.
Bow and Forest Streets.
But little has been done upon these two streets, from the fact of the possibility of the county commissioners ordering some alterations or improvements.
Lowell Street.
That part of the street near the reservoir greatly needs to be macadamized the coming season.
Lake Street.
Some portions of this street are becoming rough and uneven, and will have to be repaired with fine cracked stone the coming season.
Medford Street.
About 800 feet of this street, from the residence of Charles Gott to near the residence of H. L. Lawrence, has been macadamized the past season, making now about 1,400 feet of excellent street. We would suggest that the remainder of this street be repaired in the same way early in the com- ing spring. This, completed, would be one of the best streets in town.
Mystic Street.
About 700 feet of this street, near the estate of William Stowe, has been put in thorough repair with stone and gravel. Also the hollow between Russell and Summer Streets, which
Gr

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
was very flat and muddy in wet seasons, has been placed in good condition, by crowning with stone and gravel. Some other portions of this street will need like repairs the ensuing season. A section of the bank wall adjoining the James Wyman estate will need to be relaid in the spring.
Mount Vernon Street.
The gutters have been cleared, the wash-outs of the summer showers repaired, and the street is now in good condition.
Pleasant Street
Is in good order, yet some portions will need re-gravelling the ensuing year. About 700 feet have been crowned with blue gravel the past season.
Park Avenue.
This street has been partly re-gravelled the past season, and is generally in good condition.
Warren Street.
Some gravel has been used upon this street in filling the uneven places, thus placing it in a fair condition.
Walnut Street.
The gutters have been cleared, the centre of the roadbed crowned, and it is now in excellent repair.
Winter Street.
This street was formerly in a very bad condition, especially in wet seasons. The entire roadway has been placed in thorough repair with stone and gravel, and it is now one of the best roads in this vicinity.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Westminster Avenue.
We have had this street surveyed and a plan of it drawn, and have laid it out at a width of 40 feet; and we would recommend its establishment as a highway at the next March meeting, the abutters having agreed to waive all claims for damages, and to remove all fences and buildings.
The gutters have been cleared in nearly all the streets in town, and are in good condition for the winter.
We think it advisable to repair the streets with crushed stone principally, its cost being but a trifle more than the expense of picking and carting gravel. The total number of loads of gravel used the past year is considerably less than the former year, but nearly all of it has been drawn a long distance.
Guide Boards. -
Five new boards have been placed in position; viz., at the corners of Medford, Webster, and Beacon Streets with War- ren Street, and corners of Lake and Court Streets with Arlington Avenue. Some few old boards need to be repainted, and some replaced with new ones.
Watering Streets.
As in former years, a subscription was taken, and two carts were run during the season. Three new stand-pipes have been erected to facilitate the work.
Culverts and Bridges.
Several culverts have been taken up and relaid. One new culvert has been put in on Medford Street, and four new water-grates have been laid.
The Weir-river Bridge, on Medford Street, has been replanked, one-half the expense being paid by the town of Medford.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Stone Crusher.
The engine and crusher are in very good repair, but a new belt is needed. There is a large amount of stone in the yard ready for crushing, but perhaps not enough for the coming season. The teams and tools have been kept in good condition and repair, and are of equal value of a year ago.
