The past season, with its many heavy storms, has caused a great deal of extra work for the Highway department, the work of one day frequently being damaged or washed away the next. And some expensive jobs have been done that could not be avoided, necessitating a call for more money at the last town meeting.
In August, Mr. G. W. Austin, who had served the town faithfully for the past nine years as superintendent of streets,
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
resigned on account of ill health, and Mr. S. E. Kimball was appointed to fill the vacancy, who having had experi- ence as a superintendent of streets in this town, we feel that the work of this department will be carried on in a satisfactory manner,
Arlington Avenue.
That portion of the street alongside the horse-railroad tracks, left unfinished last year, has been crowned with stone and gravel, making a good road as far as the tracks are laid in the middle of the street. It would be a great improvement to have the rails located in the centre of the street to the Cambridge line, but knowing it would be a very expensive piece of work, we would not recommend it at present. The avenue has been kept in order by repairs wherever needed, and is in fair shape its whole length. Catch-basins have been put in to take the water from Mt. Vernon street, and a 15-inch drain-pipe laid, which relieves the street of a large amount of water that has been a source of trouble for many years. Something should be done to take the water from the avenue in the neighbor- hood of Jason street, Academy street, and the lane leading to the stone crusher. In a freshet the Main street is frequently flooded, causing annoyance to travellers and damage to the street.
Broadway
Has been repaired and put in good order nearly the entire length. One great source of trouble has been the surface water, which comes from the Somerville side of the bridge over Alewife brook and runs across on the Arlington side. We have endeavored to make an arrangement with the city
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
of Somerville, so that the trouble may be avoided in the future. Early in the spring of this year a large portion of the wall leading to the bridge caved in, carrying the side- walk with it. Not having the tools for such a job, we gave the work to a contractor, and it is now in good condition to last for years.
Eastern Avenue.
Considerable labor was needed on this street. As it has a very steep grade, it is liable to get badly washed in a heavy rain. It has been well repaired with gravel taken from the immediate neighborhood.
Highland Avenue
Has been put in good order by opening the gutters, and crowning the road-bed with gravel, greatly improving the street.
Park Avenue.
When this street was built, the culvert across it which carries the water to the ponds below, was not made large enough to take the water in a freshet, and considerable damage was done to the street and to the railroad Last September we were notified by the attorney of the Boston and Lowell R. R., that they would hold the town responsible for damage if this was not attended to. A new culvert has been built alongside the old one, and as it has been well proved in a flood this fall, we anticipate no trouble in the future. Other portions of the street have been repaired as. needed.
Pleasant Street
Has been graded and macadamized from the Belmont line
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
to near the residence of E. C. Turner, Esq. A short piece remains to be done next year, and the street will then be in good order from Arlington avenue to Belmont.
Mystic Street
Has been gravelled in various places, especially near the Winchester line, where the road was in very poor condition and was a constant cause of complaint. With a little labor on this street another year, it can be put in good order.
Watering Streets.
The streets have been watered as usual by the teams of the highway and fire department, the abutters paying a por- tion of the expense.
Sign Boards.
A number of new ones have been put up, and some old ones repaired and painted.
Stone Crusher.
After viewing the methods used in some of our neighbor- ing towns for crushing stone, we concluded that we were behind the times in this matter, and that it would be economy for the town to have some labor-saving machinery in place of so much hand work. We have commenced work on a building to contain bins and screens to separate the crushed stone into two sizes and remove the dust, and an elevator will be put in to carry the stone from the jaws of the crusher to the bins above. Carts can then be driven under the bins and quickly loaded, saving a great deal of time and labor. We think this an improvement that will
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
pay for itself in a short time. Considerable stone has been purchased the past year, and probably more will have to be another year.
Teams and Tools.
There are seven horses, all in good working condition. A new two-horse cart will be needed the coming year. The tools have been kept in their usual condition.
Almshouse.
This department is still under the charge of Mr. Darwin
roctor. Everything about the premises and inside the house seems to be well cared for, and is good evidence of the interest taken in their work by Mr. Proctor and wife. The buildings have all been painted outside, and some paint- ing, plastering and papering done inside and are all in good repair.
Amount appropriated by the town,
