Expended,
Arlington Avenue.
That portion near Tufts street has been repaired by crowning with crushed stone and gravel. A portion between Milk street and the car stables, also a portion between Park avenue and the willows, have been repaired in the same manner. Other sections of the avenue will need repairing the ensuing year,. especially near the Lexington line and Linwood street.
An appropriation of $1,000 was made at the annual meeting in March last, for the purpose of removing the

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
embankment near the " old brick school house." Surveys have been made and plans adopted for that purpose.
After many attempts an agreement was made with the abutters as to the amount of damages, but not until too late in the season to commence work. The damages have been settled and the removal can go forward in the early Spring.
Curbstones have been laid at the corner of Medford street ; a very desirable improvement, and the sidewalks repaired by skim-coating with concrete.
Appleton Street.
This street has been repaired by building a sidewalk between Hillside and Claremont avenues and cutting out the sides and crowning the centre of the old part. Other repairs are needed and should be attended to the coming year. A sidewalk between Park avenue and the junction of Vine street is much needed.
Acton Street.
Accepted by the town last November, should be built this year. There is sufficient material within the limits of the street for its construction, and the expense will be for labor only.
Broadway.
A portion of this street, near Somerville line, has been repaired and sidewalks built.
Other repairs are needed between Winter street and the junction of Warren street.
Curbstones have been set from Mr. Albert Needham's to Franklin street, the abutters furnishing the stones.
9
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Claremont Avenue.
Sidewalks have been graded on a portion of this avenue, and the remainder should be attended to this year.
Chestnut Street.
It is necessary that repairs should be made on this street the coming year. A large amount of heavy teaming is done on this street and it should be repaired principally with crushed stone.
Decatur Street.
This street has been repaired nearly its entire length, and is now in fair condition.
Forest Street.
That portion north of the railroad crossing to the foot of the hill has been completed and repairs made its entire length, so that it is now in very good condition.
Gray Street,
Recently accepted by the town has been put in good condition by using material from the gutters, and crowned with gravel taken from Pleasant street.
Hillside Avenue.
An appropriation of $800 was granted by the town at its annual meeting in March for the purpose of completing this avenue. The work has been done the past season in a very satisfactory manner at an expense of $732.96
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Highland Avenue.
A large portion of this avenue needs to be re-gravelled.
Jason Street.
Owing to the construction of this street when built, being very flåt and composed largely of loam, considerable material had to be used in crowning it. A sidewalk has been built on the easterly side its entire length.
Lake Street.
Some repairs will be needed on portions of this street.
Lowell Street.
That part of this street near the Lexington line should be crowned with stone and gravel; in fact, quite a large section needs thorough repairing.
Mystic Street.
A section opposite the estate of W. J. Niles has been thoroughly repaired with stone and gravel, also a section near the Winchester line, and nearly the entire length, has been patched in the worst places.
Montague Street.
A new street, accepted by the town last November, should be built early in the season.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Oak Street.
Repairs have been made where needed.
Park Avenue.
Some parts of this avenue need very much to be re- gravelled. The gutters are much worn and should be skim- coated the ensuing year.
Pleasant Street.
Quite extensive, and much needed improvements have been made on this street, between the Gray Estate and the residence of Dr. R. L. Hodgdon, bringing it to a grade, by excavating certain portions, so that the surface water from this locality is carried to Spring Valley, thence to Spy Pond. The roadbed was then properly crowned with crushed stone and gravel. The entire length of the street has been sur- veyed and plans made with a view of completing the same in like manner. We would recommend that the section extending from Dr. Hodgdon's residence to Arlington ave- nue be completed the present year. The sidewalks on this street have been thoroughly repaired with concrete.
River Street
Has been entirely rebuilt the past season by reducing to a grade and crowning with stone and gravel. Sidewalks have been constructed on both sides nearly the entire length.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Russell Street.
Quite an outlay has been made on this street in repairing and laying new. gutters and sidewalks.
Spring Street.
Repairs are much needed here the ensuing year.
Summer Street.
By the use of gravel, this street has been put in good condition.
Westminster Avenue.
It will be necessary to make some repairs on this avenue near the residence of H. E. Lewis ; also a short section of sidewalk should be constructed on the easterly side of the avenue. Railings should be built on the west side.
Wollaston Avenue.
Sidewalks are very much needed on this avenue, and some method should be devised for the disposal of the surface water.
Teel Street.
A street recently accepted by the town, will require some attention the coming season.
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Warren Street.
A large portion of this street has been repaired the past year and is now in very good condition,
Webster Street.
The gutters have been cleaned and the street repaired with gravel,
Watering Street .
The streets have been watered the same as usual by the town teams, the abutters subscribing a portion of the ex- pense. Two stand pipes have been placed on Mystic street, and the street watered from Arlington avenue to the resi- dence of Mr. Isaac Huffmaster, the expense attending it being borne by the abutters.
Bridges, Culverts and Catch-basins.
Some of the old stone culverts have been taken up and repaired. Drain pipe has been laid from the drinking trough near the town house to the street sewer, taking the overflow from the trough, abating quite a nuisance in that locality.
Several new water-grates have been set.
Sign Boards.
Several street and private way signs have been erected the past season, in conformity to the law, and others will be needed the ensuing year.
14
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Railings.
Railings have been erected on Forest and Lowell streets, also on the Main avenue near Park avenue, and Lewis' Mill, besides repairs in other parts of the town.
Stone Crusher.
The crusher is in good condition, but the building is not, and it should be repaired at once.
Having crushed considerable stone during the year past, we have not as much on hand at present as usual, and, in order to meet the requirements of another season, we may have to purchase.
Teams and Tools.
It will be necessary to purchase one new horse in the spring, to take the place of one that had become old and unfit for use, and which we were obliged to put out of the way. The tools are in their usual good condition. It would be good economy to exchange some of the old carts for new ones, rather than expend money in repairs.
