SELECTMEN'S REPORT.

Highways.
Amount appropriated by the town, $15,000 00
66 66 for sidewalks, 1,000 00

For details of expenditure see the Treasurer's report.
The first work of the season was to clean the streets and patch the ruts that were made during the early spring. It has been the custom for the past few years to fill the ruts of our gravel roads with fine crushed stone early in the season. This we find gives better results than filling with gravel, as the fine stone forms a solid road-bed where the most of the wear comes. By using our fine stone in this way we fall short of that grade and it becomes necessary to buy a few tons.
Arlington Avenue.
From near the residence of Joseph Eaton to Lewis' mill, from Forest street to J. F. Hobbs' and from Linwood street to the residence of Mrs. Fisher on the west side of the West End Railroad, the avenue has been picked and levelled. A coat of crushed stone from four to nine inches in thickness was put on and well rolled, then a light coat of fine crushed stone was added, which was also rolled and covered with a very light coat of fine screened blue gravel, then rolled until the

street became perfectly hard. In picking and rolling we used a steam roller, hired of Messrs. McClintock & Wood- fall. Other portions of the avenue will need to be treated in the same way the coming season.
Appleton Street,
From Arlington avenue to Vine street, has been widened according to the order of the County Commissioners. The retaining walls have been rebuilt and the street has been brought to a grade so as to quickly drain after rain. The cost of this improvement was about $1600; the appropriation was $2000 and the balance, $400, was intended to be used for concreting the gutters, as the grade is very steep at the Arlington avenue end. We would recommend that the balance lay over in the Treasury for this purpose.
The portion of street between Park avenue and Claremont avenue needs early attention. We would suggest that the street be crowned with a coat of gravel and the gutters concreted,
Acton Street
Has been finished with the exception of a small piece of ledge near Mr. A. Blanchard's. This makes a very easy approach from the upper part of the town to the town pit and crusher.
Broadway.
Very little has been done on this street except to patch it in places. The drainage is very poor and the street should be graded with reference to carrying off the surface water.
Chestnut Street
Has been macadamized this season making a much needed improvement.
Eastern Avenue
Near the Park has been crowned by scraping the outside edges to the centre and then covering with gravel. That part

SELECTMEN'S REPORT. -
near Highland avenue will need to be treated in the same way.
Highland Avenue
Near Eastern avenue has given a great deal of trouble every spring. It is quite low and at times flooded, causing consid- erable inconvenience to travel. There has been a fifteen inch drain pipe laid across the street, and the low place has been filled in. We think this will do away with all difficulty.
Lake Street,
From the ice track to the foot of the hill near Belmont line, has been coated with stone and gravel. The hill should be macadamized during the next season, and from the ice track to the Lowell Railroad should be picked, the surface levelled and covered with a fine coat of crushed stone, well rolled, and then with a light coat of screened blue gravel.
Russell Terrace
Has been crowned by picking the sides and scraping to the centre, and covered with screened blue gravel. The side- walk on the west side has been covered with stone dust.
Summer Street,
From Brattle street to Pine street, has been coated over with stone and gravel.
Lowell Street.
This street, near the Lexington line, was badly cut up through the winter, owing to the heavily loaded stone teams carrying stone to Cambridge. As soon as the frost was out of the ground, about 2000 feet of the street was rebuilt. There was a heavy coat of coarse crushed stone put on first, and well rolled, then a coat of fine crushed stone thorough- ly rolled, and this was covered with fine screened gravel, which was rolled until solid. In rolling we used a steam
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
roller. The portion of street from the railroad bridge to Nathan Nourse's was picked, a coat of fine crushed stone was put on the centre, and well rolled. Now it is in a good condition its entire length.
Mystic Street.
The hill near the Winchester line was in a very bad condi- tion. The surface water from the Winchester side had run down the centre of the street, making it very rough and un- even. The street was first graded by picking off the sides and filling at the foot of the hill; then there was a heavy coat of crushed stone put on, and rolled, next a light coat of fine stone, which was rolled again, and then this was covered with screened blue gravel. The hill near Arling- ton avenue has been gravelled.
Winter Street.
This was more of a job than was anticipated. In making the road-bed to change the grade it was found that the loam to the depth of nearly two feet had never been removed, and it became necessary to remove this nearly the entire length of the street. This necessitated a large amount of coarse filling, and for this purpose stone chips from the Cambridge ledge were used. After bringing the street to a sub-grade, a coat of coarse crushed stone, to a depth of twelve inches in the centre and six inches on the sides, was put on, and rolled, and this was covered with a fine coat two inches deep and well rolled, and over all this a light coat of fine screened blue gravel, then this was rolled until the surface became solid. A steam roller was used. The expense of this street was $2725.
Pleasant Street,
From Arlington avenue to Maple street, has been picked and the surface levelled and then a coat of fine stone about four inches in thickness was spread and rolled, and then screened gravel was put over this. The street is now in good condition its entire length.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Park Avenue,
From near Florence avenue to Appleton street and about 300 feet near Wollaston avenue, has been gravelled with a heavy coat of blue gravel. It was the intention to gravel about 1000 feet more, but, as the cold weather set in the work was stopped. This should be finished in the spring. The drain across Arlington avenue, which takes the water from the gutters of Park avenue, has been changed so as to empty into the brook. It formerly emptied into Lewis pond over land of Mr. Lewis, but had to be changed, as he erected a building over the drain.
Pine Street.
The sides of this street have been picked and scraped into the centre and then covered with blue gravel.
River Street
Has been covered with a heavy coat of stone and with gravel which was taken from Arlington avenue when the West End Railroad Co. put in their double track.
